Oldest Inhnbitnnt.

The reporter Of the Jebusite Valley Her
aid drew out his notebook, says the New
York Recorder, and, assuming jaunty
position, began:
Il have called, sir. to ask your opinion
of the fin de steele
And with that Methuseiah, who was
resting his gums on his cane, broke in
angrily.
Get out Of my tentr' he cried in a
voice Of scorn. Il amt got any patience
with you fresh reporters and your fine de
steele foOlishness. Wait till you've seen
nine. of en-" he added boastfully, "as 1
have, and then mebbe you can talk"
And he refused to say another word
the Jebusite Valley Herald getting up a
two-column interview with all of Methu-
selah's remarks couched in perfectly
grammatical language.

So writes a happy man fresh from the
Slough of Despond.
Well, the discovery has been proclaimed,
but men arc slow to believe.
The way is open to inquire, 20 investigate
Why viii not every man do so?
There is a simple way to cure at home all
those baneful effects Of the sins Of youth and
the excuses Of later years which blast the
lives Of multitudes Of men.
There is a way TO regain strength lost by
disease, ovcrwork and worry.
way TO secure and retain the abilities
sacrificed 10 dissipation-tO "be glad again
after suffering an atonement"
A way to repair drains on the system that
sap the vitality.
A way TO replace nervousness, dread and
dependency with courage and self-respect.
A way TO give full strength, development
and tone to svery portion Of the body.
way to remove every obstacle 70 happy
and fruitful married life
All this is clearly shown In a little medical
work recently published. It is not a book
for general circulation, being purely medical
and scientific and for men only who need adj
vice and aid.
How to get it Write to the Erie Medical
Company, Niagara Street. Buffalo, y. Y, say
you read the article in this paper, and ask
them to send you the book called Complete
Manhood, and the Way 20 Attain tt They
will send one copy entirely free, in a plain
sealed wrapper, TO any man who writes for
il in good faith.

THIS TOAD WAS a TOPPER.

From the Lewiston ournai.

From the Lewiston ournal
These toad stories, or rather the com
bination toad-and-rum stories that are
just at present keeping the Maine Soci-
ETY. of Veracious Tale Varnishers pleas
antly occupied received this addition
from an artless reconteur in Portland.
He says that he and his father were wan
dering again among the old home scenes
IN Hiram when suddenly his father re-
membered that sixty-two years before he
had for a boyish prank shut a toad
in the cleft Of a maple tree along with
a three-ounce bottle Of old rum that he
carried to field for the purpose Of nerv-
ing his hoyish arm When among the
touching remembrance regarding the toad
rushed over him, the old gentleman sought
out the maple All, there 1t stood The
WOOdman had spared that tree. But the
bark had closed over the cleft, and there
was no sign that any toad had Office
hours from Y to Y az that place. But
the son borrowed a hatchet, directly de-
scended from the one George Washington
used to carve the cherry tree and, with
the parental finger pointing tremblingly,
hacked into the maple trunk.
The cavity was opened and, says the
narrator, I'VE sprang away In horror,
but from the bottom of IL was the head
of a blinking toad. His four feet were
at the sides, and as we looked he stretch
ed himself and craWled TO the front of
the hole. We hadn't strength 10 stop him
as he leaped over the ledge into the river
and was out of our reach. We searched
a long time for him, but not a trace
could be found. We would have given a
good many dollars to have saved him, but
It was too late The question we wished
to solve is still unanswered. The toad
had swallowed the bottle, but had he de-
rived any benefit from the liquor ontain-
ed therein?" There is clearly no question
as to the truth of the story for there 3

The story told by New Haven CORE
spondent of the Evening Post of the locat-
ing Of a meteor by Prof. II. A. Newton Of
Yale, from data. obtained from a chance
photograph of the meteor's flight, recalls
to the Hartford Courant another story
recently related hereabouts by Yale
graduate. This young man, when a stu
dent, occupied a room in Divinity hall
One night he undertook with a toy rife
to hit one of the lights on the campus
His aim was poor, and the ball passed
through the window OF an eminent and
venerable professor of science mot Prof
Newton) and embedded itself Ia the wall.
This was the opportunity for the profess
sor and for science. He, too, set to work,
and computed the curve and with the
exact skill of infallible figures he traced
the ball right back to the room of an in
nocent colleague, who didn't even know
the rife had been fired. The unhedged
minister fatty denied all knowledge of
the affair But men, even ministers, have
been known to make denials in self-de-
Tense, and the professor had the proof with
him. There was the bullet there were the
marks of its course; and there was the
computation worked out. 1t looked as IL
a pulpit Ca eer was to be nipped in the
bud. But the guilty student heard what
was going on. He called on the profess
sor, confessed the offense, pointed out that
the man of science was 200 feet out in his
computation, and advised that the matter
be dropped right where it was. And that
was done
