Getting Rid of a Quack.

In New England City not many
miles from Boston is an old quack doc
tor known throughout the town for his
large supply of Check" He had no
regular abiding place, but picked up
his lodgings around at different cheap
boarding houses, AID lived on the pro-
fits of his quack medicines. He spent
good deal of his time in certain
drug store, and moreover he was ac-
customed to go there every morning
and use the back shop to make his tot
let in. He had an old greasy bottle
of hair oil and brush and comb,
which he kept in the shop without
leave from anybody. The proprietor
got rather tired of having him around
so much, and therefore resorted to
stratagem to get rid of him.
He took the hair oil bottle, poured
out the oil, and carefully replaced it
with mixture of thin fish glue and
bay rum. Then heput the bottle back
Ill its accustomed place.
The next morning the old ouack
showed up, and after some cordial
greetings to the proprietor of the store
he asked leave to use the back shop, as
was his habit.
Certainly, certainly" responded
he druggist; "thc back shop is Mt your
disposal"
Whereupon the old gentleman started
in to arrange his toilet Pouring out
liberal dose of the mixture in the oil
bottle, he rubbed it thoroughly over
his head till his hair was completely
saturated with it. Then he carefully
combed and parted his somewhat long
locks, and placing his old stovepipe
hat squarely on his head, he passed
out. wishing the proprietor pleasant
good morning"
He was seen again after several DAYS
Ivy the druggist, but it was not in the
drug store. Howas crossing the street,
and he wore n new soft hat and had nm
extra close hair cut. The druggist
went down to the neighboring barber
shop. "Did DR.. w. come in here ON
Wednesdays" he asked.
Il should say he did," replied the
barber, ''and madden man than he
was never stood up"
''What did you do for him? ?" in
quired the druggist.
II cut his hair TO get his hat of, and
then l cut the hat to get the hair off.
Liquid glue is pretty strong when it's
dry, amt ito"
''You bet it is" said the druggist.

torian. son the diverse, or face of
the coin, was imprinted the head of n
young lady facing to the right. Her
hair was flowing to such an extent that
she looked as if taken in n gale OF
wind"
In 1876 Congress stepped in to the
aid of the typical damsel and tied her
hair up with bit of ribbon.
The fifteen stars were after this re-
ducod to the original thirteen in rec
ognition of the number of States.
In 1886 tho design WAS again
changed and the silver dollar bore the
full figure OF neatly dressed woman
in flowing garment. The designer,
however, forgot to put on the thirteen
stars and the coin was soon called in.
Any one now in possession of one OF
these dollars has valuable souvenir.
The new design had the lady sur.
rounded by stars. 1t was an improve.
ment on its predecessor, but the mir OF
the female figure was defiant and stiff.
The dollar of 1888 was the first arts
tic piece of silver coined in the United

On April %, 1864, the first dollar
having the legend 'In God we trust"
was coined
In 1873 the era of the trade dollar

In 1915 the liberty dollar made it's
appearance. Miss Ann w. Williams,

her profile being then considered the
most perfect obtainable. Her classic
features still decorate the silver dollar.

Truth thinks it 'odd that Emin Bey
should be SO little of n hero in the ewes
of the general public. He was n man
who stood head and shoulders above
many of the men who have won undy
ing renown in Africa, in courage
executive ability and genius for or
ganization and Government. His
physique was by no means robust; he
had the stoop of student, and the ira.
ditional specialized face of n German
physician. Yet he was in reality man
OF heroic courage and unquestionabie
force of character. He did not start
across the continent OF Africa with
brass horns, reporters, ard hired mer.
cenaries, but recruited his soldiers
from the savages themselves. He
taught the barbarians TO build mills
and factories, and held the Arabs at
bay, even when so great soldier as
Gordon failed. 1t seems to me in
credible that this marvellous pioneer
should have been killed, but the evil
dence seems overwhelming. He had
reason to complain bitterly of his treat
ment in Africa, and he had not even
thesolace of fame, which has come TO
many of the other men who ventured
into the wilds of that still nndiscov-
cred country. But in the future it is
certain that Emin Bey will stand near
the head of TIL J list of heroes who have
giyenup their lives to ciyilize the
sayages OF the Dark Continent"
