session of her real estate, which is

Eugene Sandow, the modern Her
cules, gave a very interesting pri-
vate exhibition at the Colorado
Hotel yesterday afternoon before a
party of newspaper men and ply
sicians.
He did not perform any of his
feats of strength, but confined him.
self to a scientific display of his
marvelously developed anatomy.
The wonderful display of pectoral
and abdominal muscles called forth
many murmurs of admiration from
the medical men present.
Sandow permitted his guests to
feel his muscles and their extreme
hardness is something surprising
in fact, upon being thumped they
gave forth a wooden sound. In
closing his exhibition he showed his
chest expansion, which reaches the
extreme limit of fourteen inches. His
natural chest measurement is forty
sever inches, but he expands it to
sixty-one inches.
After the exhibition one of the
physicians present remarked to Mr..
Sandow that he ought to have nc
trouble in getting his life insured.
but Sandow responded that the
companies refused to take the risk.
because they we're afraid that some
night the three horses which he lift
would fall and crush him.

AGUE AND MALARIA
As Described by a Medical Writer.

The regular, old-fashioned fever
and ague or chills and fever is, in
deed, bad enough, but far worse to
bear is that kindred disease known
as chronic malaria. The old-time
chills and fever would produce a
distinct chill, followed by fever and
sweating, when the victim would
have a respite of one, two OF three
days in which to recuperate and re-
gain his courage and strength. But
not so with chronic malaria. Every
day-morning, noon and night
chronic malaria will plague and
tease its victim with miserable,
creeping rigors, nasty, cold sweats,
bitter taste, coated tongue, sallow
skin, loss of appetite, confused mem
tai faculties, heavy, stupid listless'
ness, and a host of similar symp.

There is no medicine so often needed
in every home and so admirably
adapted to the purposes for which it
is intended, as Chamberlain's Pain
Balm. Hardly a week passes but
some member of the family has need
of it. A toothache or headache may
be cured by it. A touch of rheuma-
tism or neuralgia quieted. The severe
pain of a burn or scald promptly re-
Iieved and the sore healed in much
less time than when medicine has to
be sent for. A sprain may be prompt
ly treated before Inflammation sets in,
which insures a cure in about one
third of the time otherwise required.
Cuts and bruises should receive inn
mediate treatment before the parts
become swollen, which can only be
done when Pain Balm is kept at hand.
A sore throat may be cured before it
becomes serious. A troublesome corn
may be removed by applying it twice
q day tor a week or two. A lame back
may be cured and several days of wal
liable time saved or a pain in the side
or chest relieved without paying a
doctor bill. Procure q so cent bottle
at once and you will never regret it.

A long, gawky, young rusticus
stumbled into Harrison & Cooper's
barber shop the other morning with
a pair of hair-clippers in one hand
and a plug of twist tobacco in the
other, a portion of the latter having
been showed into his mouth as he
entered the door. He wanted to
make a trade for "a good razor, what
wouldn't pull" as he expressed it.
The trade was about consummated
when a customer in the chair paid
for his shave and claimed that the
barber had given him too much
change. Many incidents of such
mistakes were jokingly spoken of by
the loafers around the stove, when
the candaverous youth introduced
above spoke up: "Humph That's
nothin'. Ny brother once bought
some shoe slickin', a 25 cent bottle
of it, from a druggist here in town
and they got to talkin' base ball an

never paid nc 'tention and laid a

notice and he went ON home, and the

long as if he'd paid a quarter fer it.
