Never Agreed.

An after-dinner story was told by a
well-known Philadelphia lawyer the 9th
er evening, illustrative of legal difficulties
that may arise even in the carrying out
of the most amicable contracts: "There
were once four brothers who had Inherit
ed a storage warehouse from their father
and who equally divided the property
between them. Among the appurte-
nances thereto was cat, fine animal,
excellent for mousing. and this, too, was
divided. the elder brother owning the
right front quarter. the second brother
the left front quarter and the two young
err brothers the two headquarters. Now,
unfortunately. the cat in one of its noe
turnal prowls injured the right front paw
and the elder brother attended to that
portion of his property by binding the in
jured member with creased rag. The
cat. thankful for this relief to its suffer
ing. went to sleep contentedly before the
fire. but in the midst of it's slumbers Il
falling coal ignited the rag, and the ami
NAL, bowling with agony, dashed through
the warehouse. and, coming in contact
on fire. When the loss came to be fig
ured out the three younger brothers
wished to throw it all upon the elder,
upon the ground that had he not tied
up his part of the cat with the infiam-
mable rag the building would not have
been destroyed. He. however, contented
that had the cat only been possessed of
the front right paw, his property, it
would have stood still and burned to
death 1t was the three other paws that
caused the damage. The brothers ar
gued the case until they died, but never
could reach an agreement.

THE GREATEST OF TUNs.
Heidelberg's Famous Vessel Surpassed
by One in Fresno.

PeSSoOeA
by One in Fresno.
Down at Fresno, on the st. George
vineyard, has lately been erected gil
gantic wine cask, Or tun, beside which
the famed Great Tun of Heidelberg
sinks into insignifcance. 1t is the big
gest in the world.
For almost $50 years the Great Tun
has been celebrated far and wide for it's
immense size, and nothing on the globe
could compare with it. 1t was built in
berg, the finest in all Germany, itself
erected at the end of the Thirteenth
century.
Mighty rulers and brave knights have
occupied it, and throngs of beautiful la
dies and their royal escorts have gath
cred at the old castle on the Neckar and
partaken of the wine which the Great
Tun held. 1t has got into the cyclopae-
dias and into all history as the one I'M
readable. irreproachable thing in the
world in the way of winemaking.
So it has been by right, too, for till
now there was nothing anywhere to com
part with it in size. But the gentlemen
knocked the fame out of the. gigantic
Heidelberg tun, and it is has-been.
History will have to be corrected.
The Great Tun holds $4,000 German
gallons, or 42,OOO American gallons,
while the st. George tun holds no less
than 10000 gallons, or almost twice as
much as the tun which has for $50 years
been figuring in history.
1t took two carloads of steel to hoop
the gigantic cask, and there is enough
lumber in it to construct an elegant man
sion The lumber is all redwood. OBJ
tanned from the forests of Humboldt
county. Not one stick in ten from
which the material was selected would
answer Absolute freedom from any
kind of flaws was required.
When the redwood was selected it took
almost two years for it to dry and under
go the preparation for the cask. About
two complete railroad trains of this Cali
fornia redwood is used in the Fresno
great tun.
The tun towers to a height of no less
than thirty feet and it is twenty-six feet
wide. 1t can contain thirty carloads of
wine.
''This is by all odds the greatest cask
that ever was built" said George III.
Malta, one of the largest owners of the
st. George vineyard, at the Bohemian
club day or two ago. eve built it
and the other casks in the winery SO as
to always have a supply of uniform wine
on hand. The big cask inside is "A feet
nv "a feet.''-San Francisco Call.

Paralysis Follows BIOOdlessness and

A PATIENT WOMAN AFFLICTED
FOR YEARS.
She Tells How at Last She Was Per

She Tells How at Last She Was Per-
manently Cured.
From the Press. Ne1c York City.
For more than fifteen years, Mrs. A.
Mather, who lives at No. 43 East One
Hundred and Twelfth street, New York,
was a sufferer from anaemia, which, in
spite of the treatment of physicians, grad
ually developed into nervous prostration
until finally marked symptoms of paraly
sis set in. Mrs. Mather gladly gave the
reporter her experience.
For many years. Mrs. Mather said.
II was a constant sufferer from nervous
ness. 1t was about fifteen years ago that
my condition began to grow worse. Soon
l became so affected that / was proStrat-
ed and, until about two years ago, was Il
part of the time unable to leave my bed.
l employed several physicians from time
to time. my bills at the drug store for
prescriptions sometimes amounting to as
much as $50 a month, but all the doctors
did for me did not seem ITO help me at all.
My blood became greatly impoverished
and after years of suffering | was threat
ened with paralysis.
when ] walked I could scarcely drag
my feet along, and at times my knees
fall down. Feeling that doctors could
not help me, had little hope of recovery,
until one day / read in a newspaper how
a person, afflicted almost the same as
was, had been cured by DR.. Williams
Pink Pills for Pale People. I purchased
box and began taking the pills. The
effect of this first box pleased me so much
that l bought another. Before / had
taken all the pills in the first box / began
to experience relief and, after the third
box had been used, l was practically cur
ed. 1t was really surprising what speedy
and pronounced effect the medicine had
upon me.
~ always keep Dr. Williams Pink
Pills in the house now, and when l feel
any symptoms of nervousness ind that
they give me certain relief"
When Mrs. Mather talked with the re-
porter she was dressed for the street, in
tending to go out for walk. She looked
the picture of health, far different than
she did before taking the Pink Pills.
Mrs. Mather's daughter, Miss Anna.
corroborated her mothers account, and
told how she herself had been cured of
chronic indigestion by these pills; and,
too, boy her cousin had been cured of
0haef;a III same way.
DR.. Williams Pink Pills contain, in a
condensed form, all the elements neces-
sary to give new life and richness to the
blood and restore shattered nerves. They
are also a specific for troubles peculiar to
females, such as suppressions, Irregular
ties and all forms Of weakness. In
men they effect radical cure in all cases
arising from mental worry, overWOrk or
excuses of whatever nature. Pink Pills
are sold in boxes at 80 cents box or six
boxes for $3.50, and may be had Of all
druggists, or direct by mail from DR..

LIKELY TO BE MIXED.
Difference in Caliber Between the
Navy and Army Rifles.


One of the curious features incidentally
developed at the trials of the rifles for
the arming of the National guard of New
York is the difference between the cali
bers of the army and navy rifles. The
former is the much-vaunted krag-J Orgen-
sen rifle The caliber of the navy
weapon is 90 $40, and the army rifle is
80 $40.
1t was generally conceded by the ex-
perts and members OF the board that a
more asinine policy could not have been
adopted than that of having arms of diff
ferent calibers for the army and navy.
In the rush and hurry of sending away
ammunition. it was said, no amount of
care could prevent the ammunition from
getting mixed. This was one of the first
troops in the Franco-German war. 1t
has occurred over and over again in
every country, and it seems strange that
at this late stage of the art of war such
a policy should be adopted.
Col Shaw. chairman of the state eX-
aiming board, said to a New York Tri-
bune reporter, speaking on this point:
''Let every state select it's own arms it
it will, but by all means let the ammuni-
ton to be used be the same. Suppose
that lot of Krag-Jorgensen ammuni-
ton was served out to men armed with
the Lee navy rifle, why they could not
use it. Reverse the case and send Lee
cartridges to men armed with the Krag-
Jorgensen rife; nothing but inextricable
confusion and disaster could be the re-
