Mr.. STOKES CHARITY PATIENTS.
Men Who Lived at the Hoffman House and
Never Paid ANYTHING For Board.

Men Who Lived at the Hoffman House and
Never Paid Anything For Board.
The abrupt closing Of the Hoffman
House has been taken as burning and
unprovol1ed insult by number of men
who have been living in that establish
ment for great many years, and who
are hot and loud in their denunciation
Of Proprietor Stokes. 1t is characteristic
that this little group of Hoffman House
habitues should be particularly sharp in
their comments on Mr.. Stokes action,
because they have been known as his
"charity patients for years.
Two of them have lived in the Hof-
man House for upward Of 10 years with
out paying cent. Another has never
paid anything, although he is an old
Hoffman House dweller, but he has
justified his position in the establish
ment by running around occasionally
and doing odd jobs for the house. Sew
eral Of the others are notorious with
their ever existing lack Of funds, It is
generally believed that the only way
Mr.. Stokes could get them out of the
house was to take the radical move
which he decided upon early last week
There was nothing to be done with
the Hoffman House except to build an
entirely new structure. The main part
of the establishment is so old and rick
ely that it would be impossible to build
additional stories on it, and it would
have been waste of money to try to
improve the existing building. New

Won His Cabin Boy at a Rattle.

Captain Barratt of the American bark
Carrie Winslow has on board one of the
strangest prizes ever captured in rattle.
1t is nothing less than boy, swarthy
young Argentine, Juan Baptiste by
name, whom the captain won in rattle
at Buenos Ayres.
Juan is only years old and was an
inmate Of Spanish orphan asylum at
Buenos Ayres when the Winslow reach
ed there on her last voyage. Juan de-
sired his liberty, but under the laws Of
the Argentine Republic that could only
be secured by the payment Of cash
sum that would go to a fund for the
prosecution Of persons taking out the
orphans and then treating them badly.
In Juan's case the amount required was
SIG, and in order to secure this the en-
terprising boy decided to put himself up
in rattle and sell the tickets himself.
Captain Barratt became interested in
the boy to the extent of S. spent for
tickets, and when the drawing was an
nounced was somewhat surprised to find
himself the winner.
The youthful prize has been installed
on the Winslow as cabin boy, and
though he has now been away from his
native land several months shows no
desire to return to it, He is bright and
intelligent, and as he evinces a decided
Discrimination to associate with the crew
Captain Barratt treats him as one of his
own family -Philadelphia Record.

in the National museum, at Washing
ton, is an old fashioned blade about ~
inches in length and slightly curved.
The handle is made Of horn or bone and
is some inches long. The mounting
is of silver, marked with gold, but the
latter is partially worn off. A dogs
head Of silver forms the end of the han
die, and from this to the guard runs
silver chain. On one Of the silver bands

the name ethan Allen'' engrossed in
large letters; on another band, "E

game caIIeu draw. Seth and Dan nau
used up 81 packs Of cards, and tl1eir
golden chips were worn as smooth as
glass.
"We buried 'em side by side that
day, but now comes the strangest part
Of the whole thing, and to show you
what stubborn critters they were-that
night there was light in the room
where they had been playing, and as
sure as I'm here there sat Dan and
Seth as natural as life, a-flipping their
cards and tossing their chips by the
light Of the ghostly candle. Maybe they
didn't have that whole hotel to them
selves. Sho! I guess they did. Nobody'd
go nigh it. Hansen went around crying
almost and saying he didn't see why
two stubborn galoots couldn't stay
where they were planted instead of COM
ing to haunt an honest man S house and
ruin his business. But nothing seemed
to Interfere with the game. Every night
for a week Seth and Dan sat up playing,
while the whole Gulch gazed at the light
in the window and shivered and swap
ped ghost stories. At last Ryan one night
said he had mind to see how the game
stood, and he climbed up to peep in the
window. Just as he did SO we saw a
flash Of light shoot across the room, and
three minutes afterWard Hansen place
was in blaze.
"Ryan said that as he looked in the
window Seth had caught Dan cheating
and had thrown the candle at him. The
place was burned to the ground, and
Indian Gulch felt relieved to think that
the ghosts were gone -
ST should say so - gasped one of the
auditors.
"But sho as I'm here, gentlemen,
there was a blush blaze seen around
the ashes of the burned building the
very next night, and there Seth and
Dan, looking as if they were made Of
chalk, were observed sitting IN pile of
rocks that had been Hansen's chimney
Tipping their cards as lively as ever.
''This was too much, and Indian
Gulch was scared in good earnest. But
some of us got together and decided that
Seth and Dan must go. We dug 'em up
and carted 'em five miles up a canyon
and there buried 'em. We never saw
them again in Indian Gulch, but soon
afterward some prospectors came down
from the hills and said that they had
seen two ghosts sitting under tree and
playing. But, sho, gentlemen, where
are you going?'
The shriveled old miner from Nevada
turned as he followed the others in
their hasty exit.
81 did think" he said, ''you'd have
the decency to let them two cusses rest
in their graves, but if you're going to
yank 'em all over the country, why, go it
alone" and the Mariposa man was left
with the barkeeper.
"Well, sho, I'm durned,'' muttered
the narrator Of Seth Coxs adventures.
''Reckon I'll go back to the Gulch to-
morrow, where the folks are sociable
and mannerly. San Francisco Call.

Coughing.
COuShlnS.
tfThnre L. nothing go i1.ritah bile

'eThere is nothing SO irritable to a
cough as cough" Constant coughing
is precisely like scratching wound Oh
the outside of the body. So long as 1t Is
continued the wound will not heal Let
a person, when tempted to cough, draw
a long breath and hold it until it warns
and soothes every air cell, and benefit
will soon be received from this process.
The explanation simply is, the nitrogen
which is thus refined acts as an ano-
dyne to the mucous membrane, aiiaying
the desire to cough and giving the throat
and lungs O. chance to heal-Family
