FRED DOUGLASS. STORY
How IIo Used 10 Tell the Tnbe of His
Rise in Life.

How Iro Used TO Tell the Tnse of HIS
Rise in Life.
dozen years ago Mr.. Douglass went
back to Talbot county, Md, where he
was born slave, to buy some of the
property which IN tho old days he was
forbidden by law to own, because ma
turc had colored his skin brown, and
white men had, by their superior
strength, been able to buy and sell his
ancestors While there he was invited
to address colored school, and this
was what he said, says Kate Fields
Washington:
II once knew o little oolored boy
whose mother and father died when he
was but six years old He was slave
and had no one to care for him. He
slept on dirt floor in howell, and in
cold weather would crawl into n meal
bag head foremost and leave his feet
IN the ashes to keep them warm. Often
he would roast ON ear of corn and eat it
to satisfy his hunger, and many times
has he crawlcd under the barn or stable
and secured eggs, which he would roast
In the fire and cat
THAT boy did not wear pants like
You do, but tow linen shirt Schools
We're unknown to him. and he learned
to spell from an old Webster's spelling
book and to read and write from post
cls on cellar and barn doors, while BOYS
and men would help him He would
then prr0ch and speak, and soon be-
came well known. He became prcsi-
Dental clector, United States marshal,
United States recorder, United States
diplomat and accumulated some
wealth. He wore broadcloth and didn't
have to divide crumbs with the dogs
under the table. That boy was Froder-
icli Douglass.
What was possible for me is posi-
bic for YOU Don't think because YOU
are colorcd you can't accomplish any
thing. Strive earnestly to add to your
knowledge. So long as you remain In
ignorance SO long will You fail to com
mand the respect of Your follow men. {"

Lntcst Wrinkle of the Fortune Tcllcrs--
Have Prepared Diagrams

Have Prepared Diagrams
Gotham is just now ovcrrun with
these parasites, says New York pa
per. The nonsense of fortunc-tclling
is one in which not only the ignorant
indulge. but the daughters of wealth
and education are addicted to it. a
surrcptitious visit to fortune teller is
one of the common cscapadcs of society
matrons and maids, and anything new
III that line is bound to rccompcnsc its
operator. New York astrologer has
set up curious variation of his bust
ness of humbug, and his speciality i,
the telling of fortunes by means of
moleS He pretcnds to be able to read
character and make prophecies by
means OF these blcmishcs of skin 1t
would bother other than an ingenious
man to put this method into practical
use, but the difficulties are surmounted
by the professor" in question. Ho has
printed on cards four outlines of the
female human figure showing the
form from each point of the compass,
so to speak. His clients on their first
visit are provided with set of these
cards, which they must take home and
mark Just in the right spot with the
moles they happen to bear They then
return TO the fortune teller and he
reads their attributes and destiny from
the diagrams thus filled out. A mole
on the shoulder means one thing, ono
on the side has totally different in
terpretation, and so on through vast
number of locations and combinations.
The fellow has adapted himself to his
particular humbug by growing n trc-
mendous beard, which makes him look
like a wise man of the cast, and he
wears an oriental robe, which in
creascs his impressivcness. His gravity
Is perfect; he talks like an educated
man, and he is doing an immensely
lucrative business, his price is two dol
lars and his customers 80 many that
usually one has to wait In the unto
room an hour or SO for an audience.

HIS LUCK SAVED HIM.
How n Very Bashful Young Man Hap
pened to Become Engaged

How Very Bashful Young Man Hap
pened to Become Engaged.
There have been tales md tales about
funny proposals, but the following
is about the most original on record.
There resides in Syracuse "a young man
who has called on IL young lady for
three or four years, and fairly worships
the ground she walks on But his one
trouble has been his bashfulncss. He
could never brace up the point OF pro
posing, though the girl, who also
thinks great deal of him, gave him all
the possible chances. To-day the couple
are engaged, and thisis the way it came
about.
During the spell of good slcighing q
few weeks ago, says the Syracuse On.
~ Post, the young man took his lady
love ont in smart cutter. Never n
word of love was said They got to
talking about handwritings, and tho
young man said that he had about the
worst hand Imaginable. The young
lady was fine penman, and as the
young man praised it, he added fcrvent-
~, without any matrimonial intcnte
"Oh, wish had your hand!"
Something was then said about this
is so sudden and the next day the
young man purchased the ring.

Abraham.s Llncoln.s Grundfathee,

Il. T. Durrctt, of Louisville, at one
time IN editorial writer on the Courier

Sturgeon makes the following reference
to the grandfather of Abraham Lin
coin: THE grandfather of President
Lincoln settled in jefferson county,
Ky, i'll 1850 on tract of four hundred
acres of land, where the old Long Run
BAPTIST Westinghouse now stands The
land warrant which was issued to him
for this land bears date of March 4,
l7SO, and his name appears in it rs Alb
rahaln Linlhorn.' lie was killed on
this land by the Indians in 1856. Nor
gan hughes also owned tract of five
hundred acres of land adjoining the
Lincoln tract, and: like Lincoln, was
one of the earliest settlers of jefferson
county. On this land of Hughes an old
station, known as Hughes Station, was
built 1T an early date, and Lincoln was
residing i'll this station when he was
killed by the Indians"

IT'S n Grand Success.

The fact has been demonstrated
by the thousands of testimonials the
Mayors Drug Company, of Oakland,
Md, has received since it sent its
famous Mayors Magnetic Catarrh Cure

medicine has received such an endorse
ment from the people in so short time
as 1t did. The makers sell the medi-
cine on business principles, and q
patient is not required to buy the medi
cine by the dozen to get cure. The
Mayors Magnetic Catarrh Cure sells
for 81 per bottle, one bottle to last for
three months treatment. bottles is
the highest record ever required to com.
plete cure. General catarrh one bot
tie is guaranteed. No cure, no pay.
This Is an unequalled offer and II you
are sufferer from catarrh got bottle

costs you nothing. A prominent R. r.
conductor speaks:
