EDGED ON THE DOCTOR.
A Napoleon Of Finance Meets His Water
loo In New Hampshire.

100 In new hampshire.
An itinerant corn doctor took posses
sion of the public square in Charles
town, n. H., one evening and proceed
ed to transact business which was of
land Office Dimensions while it lasted.
But he closed up early.
Eggs We're flying at him from all d.
rections, and he was a sorry looking
sight when he reached the friendl shell
ter of the hotel.
He had imposed Epon the confidence
of the unsophistic88so. ara the shower
of eggs was their way of expressing
their righteous Indignation.
The "doctors'' modus operandi wag
something like this: He had corn
salve that was unequaled and unap-
proachable in its virtues He wished to
advertise it and would for 10 cents give
sample of the salve and check, on
the presentation of which later he would
give present.
The present end Of il caught many
who were old enough to know better and
several children, but great was their
they were handed 10 cents as "a present.
This was making money very fast.
Each purchaser had realized 80 per cent
on his investment. The doctor had ar.
ticle No. 2 to advertise and would also
give present to every purchaser who
would pay 90 cents for a sample.
Those who had bought one package
of No. 1 took two and three Of article
No. 2 and were given checks, as in the
previous instance. OF course they
thought this man who gave them 10
cents for 10 would certainly give them
at least 80 for %.
But he didn't.
He probably thought he had gone
the limit, and when the spectators
presented their checks they were given
bit of taffy candy by the smiling doc
tor, who said, 81 told you / would give
you present, and l have done so, and
while he continued to give them the
laugh they began to see the ''joke.
Several of those OH the. outside of the
crowd got their heads together and then
went to a nearly provision store and in
vested all the money they had in eggs,
and the less modern they were the more
desirable for their purpose.
When they returned, the voluble doc
tor was telling his audience not to feel
bad over the matter. He had, he said,
travelled great deal and had "got it in
the neck" himself and never complained.
Well, just then he got it in the neck,
and in the back, and on the head, and
in several other places There was
perfect shower Of eggs.
The doctors smile vanished, and he
did not stand upon the order OF going,
but got quickly. He made 50 or S6, but
he needed new suit of clothes.-Bos-
ton Globe.

made exactly in infant style, with a
band of white ribbon embroidered in
pink pearl beads. A belt with bows and

pieces held the pulled sleeves, and a
blush rose and buds placed upon the left
side gave the finishing touch of beauty.

THE TIPPING QUESTION.
How 1t Is Practiced at Home and Abroad
and the Need For n Reform.

and the Need For n Reform.
The question of clipping" seems
small enough in detail, but rather i'm
portant when exaggerated.
A woman who spent last winter in
one of the most sumptuous of New York
hotels says she invariably gave quar-
ter to her waiter at breakfast and lunch
con, those being meals taken alone. AT
dinner time she was joined by her hus-
band. who always handed the servitor
80 cents.
The latter sum seemed to evenly fill
the mans idea of what was due him,
and his THANK you, sirl' was bland
and gracious, but the lady's modest
quarters always found their grave in
the black waistcoat pocket, with no ex-
preston of gratitude from the recipi-
ent's face, which wore meaning look,
as of one who says, women are mean.
an never knows 'ow to do the right
thing by man, but one as to put up
with 'em."
1t is only in reckless, good natured
America that optional fees are so much
larger than they ought to be. A dollar,
which is common enough sum for a
man to give at dinner in fashionable
restaurant, weuld make French wait
er stare, although he would have the
presence of mind to pocket it quickly.
In Paris there is an unwritten scale
which apportions 8 per cent on the
amount of customers bill as tip.
Thus a person ordering dinner that
costs 50 would, ON settling his bill, add
10 cents for the attendant.
It is time we had either legal or in
formal rule governing tips in this coun-
try, and it is to be hoped that some rich
persons will help OH the reform.
It will never be done by those whose
means are really small enough to feel
the tax, for it is one of the errors of the
impecunious to feel obliged to show as
much liberality as a millionaire, even
if, like the guest in "Charley's Aunt, y
he has to borrow half dollar from the
butler with which to tip him.--Illus-
trated American.

A SIGNIFICANT DEPARTURE

With the departure OF another
year when a review il made OF the
condition of affairs, it is only right
that some thought be given to the
physical body which enables every
one to battle with life's problem and
figure for themselves the profit or
loss on the trial balance sheet.
Though the bank account may be
large and each ones material gain be
great, it would not be surprising if
it suddenly dawns upon many that
good health has been greatly impov-
erished by the low condition of the
blood. 1t Is in this state that the
Tactic acid in the vital fluid attacks
the fbrous tissues, particularly the
joints, making known the local man
ifestations of rheumatism. Thousands
of people have found in Hoods Sar-
saparilla the great blood purier, i
positive and permanent cure for
rheumatism.
