liver is torpid and sluggish aud the
need Of IA tonic and alternative is
felt. A prompt use Of this medicine
has often averted long aud perhaps
fatal bilious fevers. No medicine
Will act more surely in counteract-

the boat carsized, and in less time
than it takes to tell it, Erdley found
himself full fedged Baptist. Geo.

could not see Erdley. They howev

There is smart little town out In
North Dakota, and its inhabitants i'm
agine they are great deal smarter.
They have an excellent opinion of their
city, as they term it, and blow and
buster more over its welfare and
growth than Kansas cyclone. The
main line of railroad runs through
it, and once week a train stops there.
This Indifference on the part of the
railroad people is source of bitter
ness to the inhabitants, especially as
the engineers make it a point to 60
through the place at full speed.
Finally, they resolved to put stop to
it, so one day they built barricade
on the tracks, and forced the first train
to come to halt. Then they arrested
the engineer and took him before the
judge of the place. He was charged
with running through a city regard
less of speed, and to the danger OF the
populace.
What have you to say in answer to
this charge, sir?" sternly asked the
Judge.
The engineer smiled and looked
around. He stepped to the door and
looked at the few struggling houses,
and allowed an expression of astonish-
ment to settle on his face. Then he
walked slowly up in front of the judge
and said: Upon my honor, judge, this
is the first time ever knew there was
such place as town on this part OF
the line"
The citizens after that slowly re-
moved the barricade, and let the en-
gineer proceed on his way.-Harpers

which he let slip removes all doubt as

BETRAYED BY A PARROT.
One of the Reasons Why This Man Is
in Jail.

One of the Reasons Why This Man Is
in Jail.
William Sands, or DR.. Clarke, as
he calls himself, would not now be
languishing in the Essex county, New
Jersey, Jail waiting trial for counter
feiting, had he not been so fond of his
parrot.
The parrot in question is mag
nificent bird, highly accomplished
speaking French, Spanish and English
and possessed of more than ordinary
intelligence. DR.. Clarke, who has for
some time been carrying on a mag
netic-healing business at Buffalo, is
man of much education and personal
charm and has performed some won
derful cures in cases where physicians
were obliged to acknowledge them
selves beaten. He was in receipt of a
good income from this source, though
the detectives claim that it was only
a side issue and the counterfeiting
business brought in most of his income
He had a great fascination for women
and when the woman who had elOped
with him to Buffalo died he practically
had the choice of number OF infatu-
ated ladies.
He chose Mrs. Knapp, an intelligent,
remarkably attractive woman, who
left her husband for Dr. Clarke. She
was devoted to him and is so still, re-
fusing to discuss her case - she was
also arrested as an accomplice-for
fear of injuring the doctor. Clarke,
on the contrary, has made no effort to
shield her and seems more concerned
about his parrot. The detectives on
his trail lost the scent and would not
have found him had it not been known
that he invariably travelled with this
parrot. He was traced west to Chica-
go, to the Catskills, Albany, Troy, Jer-
sey City and finally to his last stop
ping place, all through the fact that
people remembered him as the elderly
gentleman who travelled with a parrot.
When taken to the hotel where Mrs.
Knapp was arrested the parrot sat in
it's cage and DR.. Clarke said as the

for a month, finally catching him in
Milwaukee, only to find that he was
not the man l wanted. Some five years
ago a jewelry salesman was robbed
on a train going out of Omaha. l
suspected Bruce of the crime and after
a long search l located him in Chica-
go. He got away to Milwaukee before
we could arrest him, but he was taken
into custody in the Wisconsin city.
When l came to talk with him l be-
came convinced that he was not the
man for whom I had so long searched
and Bruce was not prosecuted for the
jewelry robbery.
Bruce, alias Boyd, alias Brown, alias
Howard, alias Wilson, alias Johnson,
gained a reputation as a professional
sneak and counter thief. His propen-
sity to escape from Jail, think, had
much to do with shortening his life.

What a Tramp Rode In.

A Maine Central brakeman says that
ramps are not particular how they
ide or what they ride in as long as
hey get the ride. Recently the night
freight out of Waterville conveyed a
aearse in a fat car to Portland. Near
Monmouth, as the brakeman was go-
ing over the train, he discovered the
'eet Of tramp protruding from the
hearse, and the man himself sound
lsleep.
