SOME OLD TRADE TRICKS.
How They Were Punished Five OF Sax Hum
dred Years Ago.

How They Were Punished Five OF SIX Hum
dred Years Ago.
Cheating in trade is no new thing.
It was practiced in the fourteenth
century as well as in the nineteenth.
Our town records contain many cases
of summary jurisdiction in matters af-
fecting its price, weight and quality of
food, clothing and other things.
Gull few from the archives of the
City of London. In 134s proceedings
were taken against butcher for sell
ing putrid meat. Three reasons were
alleged against this conduct at his
trial before the mayor and aldermen.
1t was deceitful and dishonest; dan
gerous to the public health; it brought
scandal and disgrace upon the mayor,
corporation, and all the inhabitants
of the city that a Londoner should be-
have so. After the investigation he
was found guilty, and condemned to be
taken, with his bad meat carried in
front of him, to the pillory in Corn
hill, and while he stood therein the
carrion he had tried to sell was burned
under his nose.
1t is we'll known that the pillory
was an instrument in which the cul-
prit was fixed, incapable of movement,
exposed to the contempt of the peo-
pie. The offense of the culprit was al
ways publicly proclaimed, and, ac-
cording to the views of the spectators,
the punishment might be severe Or
otherwise. If they dislked the offense
of the offender their contempt would
take the .proverbial and forcible form
of rotten eggs and dead cats, and the
trader would make a closer acquaint-
ance with his own wares, both raw
and cooked, than he might find pleas
ant.
A publican, convicted of selling I'M
sound and unwholesome red wine, was
sentenced to drink draught of the
same stuff which he sold to the COM
mon people, and compelled to forswear
the calling of vintner in the city of
London forever, unless he could OBJ
tain the favor of the king. A note on
the record states that he was read
! mitted five years later.
About the same time we find a wom-
an charged with selling ale in short
measure quart pot, the bottom of
which she had thickened with pitch
and covered with rosemary, to look
| like bush in the sight of her customers.
1t was common practice to put some
sort of evergreen leaves in the bottom
of tankards-hence the proverb: GOOD
wine needs no BUSH Her sentence
was to stand in the thew or female
| pillory, with half of the pot attached
to it. AS far as possible, the cause of
the offense was always exhibited along
with the person punished.
Severe punishment was meted out
for endeavoring to raise the standard
market price of corn and other articles.
In 1347 merchant was imprisoned for
forty days for enhancing the price of
his own property. He secretly en-
ployed a man to bring certain of his
own (the merchants wheat to the
market, whereupon he bought his own
at two pence more per bushel than the
market price. of course taking care to
make the same well known, forget
ting, however, to state what he knew
about the seller. Chicago Times-Her-

Railroads Refuse to Garry Forces Largely
Maintained for Their Benef.
The legal representatives of all the
railroads operating in Kansas have no.
tilted the state board of railroad COM
missioners that they propose to ignore
the law passed by the last legislature
fixing the rate by which the railroads
shall transport state troops and military
stores.
The law provided that the railroads
must carry state troops, under orders, at
rate not to exceed 1 cent mile and
military stores must be transported for a
rate not to exceed l cent per ton, per
mile, for the whole distance carried.
Ono section of this bill provides that
the officers and employees of any
company refusing or neglecting to COM
ply with the requirements of the law
shall be subject to a fine of not less than
$50 nor more than $500.
General Attorney d. A Low of the
Rock Island and Solicitor A. A. Hurd Of
the Santa Fe and the other railroad at
torneys have agreed that the law is I'm
constitutional because it proposes to COM
pei the railroads to perform service for
the state for less than actual cost and for
less than is charged private citizens
In case of riot and destruction of
railroad property no doubt the railroads
will be mighty glad to carry the troops
for nothing.

1t was Jerry Simpson against the els-

Jerry was there long after the elementary
departure had been taken.
It wasn't a large crowd but it was a
satisfactory one and a satisfied one and
there were good many prominent peo-

The audience was largely ladies and
part of Jackson'a band furnished the
music. The patriotic gold bug might
have been astonished to notice that the
national colors which have been left in
the hall since Decoration Day had not
been torn down by ruthless hands and
cast aside in anarchistic derision. On
the contrary the big square silver motto
that hung above the speakers head was
wreathed in the national colors; even the
old soldiers present were invited to the
places of honor on the platform
The centerpiece of the motto was a
silver dollar, and it bore in loud and ring
ing words this device:

Testimony From SuRe rers who Have

Mr.. H. D. Cooley, of 2146 Master

14O North Sixth street, Philadelphia,
Pa, and q prominent member of the

"For years l suffered tortures from

symptoms of the disease disappeared and
now l am permanently cured"

IN CHANCERY.

The Immense Amount of Money Tied Up
in the English Court.
The funds in court in 1894 amounted
to the huge total of 964, O75, 1877 is. Id;
but the proportion of this sum in want
of owners is not stated. It is interest
ing to note that during the preceding
year payments We're made to success
full claimants and others amounting to
SIG, 324, 1872 IS. There is also large
sum N court under the heading For
eign Currencies," made up of rupees,
crowns, dollars, f1orins, francs, guild
erN, lire, and marks. Reference should
also be made to a long list of boxes
and other miscellaneous effects re-
maining in the custody of the Bank of
England, on behalf of the supreme
court of judicature.
An official list of the titles of chan
Gerry causes undealt with for fifteen
years or upwards is published trienni-
ally; but, as the names of the testators
or persons entitled to the funds are in
the majority of cases not stated, the
information is of little value to the
general public. To give an instance:
In 1923 Nathaniel Briggs, one of the
next of kin of Thomas Stork, who
died in 1880, was advertised for by or
der of the court of chancery. The fund
was not claimed; and in the latest list
of dormant funds we find the title of
tina chancery suit given thus: "Pome-
ROY VS.. Brewer" No mention is made
that the next of kin of Thomas Stork
are wanted.
An idea of the large number of SINH
lar cases may be gained from the fact
that the list of unclaimed funds fills
1877 pages. This list is only an index
to the titles of accounts and is not in
any sense either register of next of
kim wanted, or of lapsed legacies, in
testates' estates, unclaimed dividends,
prize money, etc.-Chambers Journal

TRUTH AND CHARITY
QUALITIES THAT ARE woEFU1LY

ers, Knowing Well That They
Can Do Nothing For Them-Prof.
samueIs Has Few Well Chosen
Words to Say to This Glass.

Why ought not people be charitable?
And why Dug bit not people tell the truthF
Some people are SO selfish. Only to sat
isfy their own desiIe is all they care.
When you know and have heard people
telling you how greatly they have been
benefited through that skillfuI person.
Prof. Samuels, now at the Hotel Throop,
while everything has been tried for these
unfortunate people before without sue
cess, why do you stand in their way and
make them believe you can help them,
when you know in your own heart that it
not so? You are saving yourself, but lock
the dangers you are putting others to.
Look how many lives you are sacrificing
just simply to satisfy your own selfish
desires
If Prof Samuels, who is now curing
SO many people of their terrible suffer
inga, would call a meeting of those he
had benefited, and have these people
testify, their experience would startle
the world with his wonders. The people
are here in Topeka aud are ready and
willing to testify. They are to be found
both among the rich and poor-Prof.
Samuels has friends in all classes-and
all receive the beneIlt of his skill.
If you have sore eyes, graduated Ids,
ulcers on your eyes, or suffer with nerv-
Gus disorders, Prof. Samuels can cure
you without torturing you.
He can be consulted from a. m. to 3
p. N. at the Hofel Throop.
