THE CITIZEN.


The following story is told of gen.
tleman who was very sad and very mad
because his wife had gone on a visit, and
which she would not shorten in spite OF
a plan to return. he sent her a copy OF
each OF the local papers with one item
= clipped out, and when she wrote to lind
out what it was he had clipped from the
! papers he refused to tell her. The scheme
worked admirably. In less than week
she was home to find out what it was that
had been going on that her husband did not
want her to knoT about.

STORIES OF THE DAY.
How a Street Fakir's Honest Dealing Was
Rewarded.


Rewarded.
Gentlemen, " said the street fakir as
he arranged his bottles on the table be
fore him, II did o come here to lie
and deceive and rob you of your hard
earned dollars. l have stuck to the
truth all my life, and, though that is
the reason l am a poor man, Ishall con.
tinue to speak the truth to the end of
my days"
The crowd had been coldly surveying
his preparations, but began to warm up
o little over his address.
81 might say to you, he went on as
he held up one Of the bottles in a loving
way, between his eye and the sun,
THAT this medicine was discovered by
a celebrated medicine man of the Sioux
tribe of Indians, but why deceive you?
1t is q remedy entirely unknown to the
Indians. 1t is my own discovery, and
I never saw an Indian in my life.
Il could tell you that this compound
would cure Bright's disease, and in ten
minutes every bottle would be sold, but
could sleep tonight with the weight
of so much deception on my conscience?
How could | ever again look an honest
man in the face after telling such a
falsehood? 1t will not cure Bright's
disease--it would even hasten the end
Of a victim of that baleful complaint.
There were low 100 men in front of
the fakir, and at least half of them had
their hands in their pockets in search Of
money.
Il could say that it was q pain
killer" continued the man as he
brought ont more bottles from an old
satchel, but an accusing voice would
be whispering in my ear forevermore.
You might rub a barrel of it on you, and
it would not affect a pain. l miss the
sales of at least so bottles because l tell
the truth, but it must be SO.
Gimme a bottle p shouted a dozen
men in chorus as they held up their 81
bills.
mo, gentlemen-not yet. / will
neither deceive you nor allow you TO
deceive yourselves. You are an honest,
confiding people, and l might tell you
that this discovery would stop q headache
in five minutes, and you would believe
me and hand up your money. 1t will
not cure a headache. / even declare
that it would make one ten times worse. "
The number of men who now wanted
a bottle was at least 20, but the fakir
waved them aside and said: .
"Wait a minute. The discovery will
not cure consumption after one lung is
gone. 1t will not cure catarrh after the
disease has a firm hold ON the bronchial
tubes. After both kidneys have wasted
away it is no use to take it. 1t simply
purifies the blood, and thus
Gimme a bottlel Gimme a bottle -
yelled so men as they pressed forward,
and in less than ten minutes the last one
had been sold and the fakir had the
money in his pocket.

n BICYCLE WALK.
Americans Fast Becoming a Pigeontoed.
Knockkneed Race.

An Illinois physician has discovered
that the present extreme use Of the bi
cycle is fast tending to make the grea&
American people decidedly pigeontoed
race. The constant revolving motion Of
the feet and lower legs as they turn tho
pedals has given TO the gait of thosn
people who are much addicted to the
bicycle a peculiar urn which the pro
gressive doctor calls the bicycle walk.
Those who remember the days of tho
roller skating craze will probably re
call the effect that exercise had on the
gait of those who practiced it, particu
larly the gait of some of the young La
dies of the age TO be easily affected
They took on at once a rolling. swing,
ing, half gliding, rhythmical step that
resembled the motion Of roller skating
as closely as could be by any one not on
rollers.
So it will be with the bicycle walk,
says the aforesaid Illinois doctor, except
that instead of being only a temporary
popularity it will become permanent
and hereditary as the bicycle fever prom
Uses to be, whereas the roller skating
fad enjoyed but a brief existence. Chi

Oregon's Great Fruit.

"You can talk all You want about
your California fruit, but you amt got
nothin that will touch my apples" de-
clared an Oregon farmer as he wandered
through the rooms of the board of trade
yesterday. ~ got apples on my place
near Grants pass as big as punkins.
"Couldn't you send down a few speci
mens?" inquired an attache.
Don't believe / can. They're so
blamed juicy that they're just like a
skin full o. cider"
"Great cider apples, are they?"
1.-THE finest on earth. Why, they give
a barrel o. cider to the bushel right
along. But you ought to see my straw
berry watermelons.
"a new variety of melon?"
well, now you've got me. / can't
just say whether they're a new kind o
melon OF a new kind o. strawberry.
You see, my strawberries grow as big
as teacups al as juicy as watermelons.
Accidental like, some melon seed got
into my strawberry bed an they got
mixed, an first thing l knew ] had a
crop o. what l call mule fruit. They
was shaped like watermelons an as big,
but they didn't have no rind. They was

New Army Rife.

The army will soon be entirely
equipped with the Kreig- Jorgenson
rifle, the new arm lately adopted. The
issue Of this arm began in August, 1894,
just one year ago, and now ali the in
fantry, the First and Second artillery
and the battalions of engineers at West
Point and Willets Point, N. Y, have
been supplied. By the end of Septem-
Der the entire army, with the exception
of the cavalry, will have the arm. The
issue of the arm to the cavalry will be-
gin at once, and the end of the year
will see every branch of the service
equipped. Much credit is due the Ord
nance bureau for its expedition in this
matter, as the manufacture of the rife
was conducted wholly at the army gun
factory. Besides the arm all ammuni-
ton for it and its accouterments have

A SEVERE WINTER. a
while We sw.'ter the Antipodeans Are
Having tne Coolest Weather.

Mail adyices from Australia say that
from all parts Of that land word is re-
ceived of severe cold and terrible suffer
ing, many running rivers and large har-
bors being frozen over for the first time
in 80 years.
On the 4th of July Lyttleton harbor,
New Zealand, was covered with a thin
sheet Of ice. Since then the ice has be-
come so thick that men and teams are
passing to and fro. This has not oc-
Cured before in the memory of tho old
est settler.
A telegram from 3rcken Hill district
tells of suffering from cold and hunger
among the miners. The government has
sent 81, 600 for immediate relief, and
more financial assistance is TO follow.
From many other mining districts comes
the same news of distress. and the suf-
fering among the poor is worse than it
was during the troublesome times of
last summer.
A telegram from Berry, South Aus
~tralia, states that the weather is terri
bly, cold, the thermometer registering
lower than it has in 30 years. Berry
river is frozen over.
At Bombala the ice is two inches
thick on Bombala river. For the first
time in the history Of the city hundreds
of people were skating on the river.
Fuel is very scarce, and the city author
tiles are providing for a large part OF
the population.
At Guildburn, N. s. W., all the wa
ter taps in the city burst. There is q
scarcity of fuel and universal distress.
The thermometer reached the lowest
point it ever reached before in that
town.
At Moruya, South Australia, there is
scarcely any water at all for cattle or
men. 1t is extremely dry and bitterly
cold. A large number Of people are liv-
ing ON a few drops of water a day.
At Wentworth the weather is very
dry and extremely cold. There is not
much business being done. Citizens are
helping each other in the struggle for
existence through the terrible weather.
