Judge Jones was Southern gentleman
of the old school, and had been a gallant
in his day. Old age did not find him
forgetful of his gallantry, but with in

tricks with his recognition OF names and
faces. On this point the judge was SEN
sitive. One day he met at reception a
young woman who at once came up to
him with outstretched hand and smiling
face. To save his soul the old man
could not recall her.
Why, Judge JONES' exclaimed the

FREE TO EVERY MAN
The Method of a Great Treat
ment for Weakness of Men
Which Cured Him After Everything
Else Failed

Painful diseases are bad enough, but
when a man is slowly wasting away

the most severe pain. There is no let up
to the mental suffering day or night.
Sleep Is almost impossible and under
such a strain men are scarcely reSpons-
ibie for what they do. For years the
writer rolled and tossed on the troubled
sea of sexual weakness until it was a
question whether he had not better take
a dose of poison and thus end all his
troubles. But providential inspiration
came to his aid in the shape of combi-
nation of medicines that not only COM
pletely restored the general health. but
enlarged his weak emaciated parts to
natural size and vigor, and he now de-
clares that any man who will take the
trouble to send his name and address
may have the method of this wonderful
treatment free. Now, when I say free
I want every weakened man to get the
benefit of my experience.

as an enthusiast, but there are thou

BET A SKELETON AT POKER
Queen Stakes Wagered In Game Be-
tween Medical Students

The sporty doctor told the story, and
the sporty doctor can tell stories, If any
body should happen to ask you. He was
sitting in his private office waiting foG
his trap. and the conversation shifted
around to poker games, chiefly because
the bookcase in the office was decorated
with box of chips and several packs Of
cards.
The queerest game of poker 1 ever
saw said the sporty DOCTOR was one
l played in when 1 was a medical stu
dent. One night four of US were in the
dissecting room. We had finished ex-
perimenting with the cadavers we had on
hand and were waiting for dinner. One
of the boys suggested that we play
poker. We played it.
1T wasn't long before some of the boys
ran out of money. The game was a stiff
one, and the unlucky ones began putting
up personal property They let their
watches and knives go, and finally got
down to their dissecting instruments and
specimens. One of the boys in partic-
ular was in hard luck. He got good
hands, but had them topped with reg
ularity that made him sick at heart. In
half an hour he had about everything he
possessed in the game. and was looking
around for other collateral.
Pretty soon he got a big full-it was

picked specimen of a forearm. raised
him right back and then he was In
quandary. He skinned his cards over,
went through all his pockets. asked i'm
ploringly il I would take an l. o. U,
which 1 wouldn't, and then he sat and
thought for a minute.
Suddenly ne remembered something,
for he told me to wait a minute and ran
out of the room. He came back with q
skeleton which 1t had taken him six
months to articulate and threw 1t on the
table. raise you 200 cold bones.' he
said, calmly"
The sporty doctcv stopped. Then tho
man who never studied anatomy said:
'Well?"
"Well?" the sporty doctor queried back
at him.
What happened?"
"Oh the skeleton was shy three ribs,
to say nothing of lot of false teeth and
the bet didn't go at its face value. .''-Buf-

GERMAN COMPETITION.
Englishmen View With Apprehension
Teutonic Progress.

The one topic which is now dividing
with the Armenian question the anxious
attention of the British people is the
danger of being ousted by the Germans
from their present trade. 1t is pamph-
let called Made in Germany" which has
awakened public men, business men and
newspapers throughout Great Britain
to the remarkable progress made of late
years by German manufacturers, and to
the increasing volume of articles eX-
ported from that country to all parts of
the world, and even to Great Britain it
self. In the brochure to which we have
referred it is pointed out that the words
made in Germany" have become sort
of national trade mark, universally ac-
cepted as a guaranty of excellence COM
bined with cheapness. Commodities thus
marked are acquiring firm hold upon
the consumers in North and South
America, in the nearer and the farther
east, and wherever they are introduced,
and they commend themselves so highly
even to British customers that the ma
tive manufacturer and the native mid
dleman suffer. 1t has been observed
that after some experience of the supe-
riority of German goods orders are sent
by customers no longer through the
English importer, but directly to the
German manufacturer.
1t is true enough, as some of the Lon
don newspapers contend, that as yet the
English are more scared than hurt for
if the latest accessible statistics be con-
suited, it will be seen that Great Britain
still stands far in the lead among the
worlds purveyors of manufactured ar
ticles. If the export field be purveyed
collectively it may be SAN in racing
parance that she is ahead and the rest
nowhere. In almost all of the countries.
however. which receive manufactured
products from foreign parts, Germany
has improved her position, and in some
of them her British competitor is no
longer out of sight or even out of reach
1t may take half century at her pres
ent rate Of progress for Germany to
bridge the interval which still separates
her from her British rival VINO once
seemed unapproachable, but the gap
will certainly be crossed unless the
British manufacturer improves the
quality of his output and unless the
British middleman in foreign parts
evinces more sagacity and energy.-New

STEAM TO CONSUME SMOKE.
Novel Device Used by a Louisville Con-
Germ,

Il see that smoke is beginning to float
over the city, now that the natural gas
cannot be relied on" said II. N. Castle
of Bradstreet's agency, in Indianapolis
last week. 1T has been the comment
of many travelling men that they like
indianapolis because it has a clear at
mosphere and a person can draw a good
breath there. l see now that at times
smoke is pouring from the chimneys
of English's opera house, the When
block. the Denison hotel, the blind insti-
tute and many other places whose CHM
neys are smoking for the first time in
years. 1t would be a pity to see Indian
apolis changed in winter when the gas
is low from the clean, bright city 1t has
been since the natural gas period into
smoky, dirty place like Cincinnati and
Chicago. 1t is not at all necessary either,
even il the natural gas gives out and
all the large establishments use coal.
There is a simple and cheap device which
l saw working in Louisville, and which
think could prevent this. l often no.
ticed when l passed the establishment
of Robertson, Norton & Co., at Sixth and
Main streets, that, while many chimneys
in the neighborhood were pouring out
volumes of black smoke, nothing but a
thin, white vapor came from their CHM
ney. I went in to inquire of the engineer
how he managed this and I found the
device of which l speak Three Jets OF
steam in the furnace are so directed that
they strike about eight inches above
where the coal is thrown in, and are
spread out in a broad spray by the form
of the noZzles. In this way oxygen is
furnished which consumes the carbon,
which would otherwise go off in heavy,
black smoke. l found that not only was
the smoke nuisapce removed, but there
was a saving of 10 to Is per cent in the
cost of coal. The boiler fues are also
kept comparatively clean, so that a
cleaning only once week was required.
l spoke of this to another Kentucky
manufa curing firm in the country,
where it was tried, merely for the sake Of
saving fuel, and the fin was gratified
by teh results. / suppose that the rea-
son this evice is not in common udse 10
because it has never been especially
pushed, as no one has had a proprietary
interest in it. 1t was patented, but there
was long legal contest over the patent,
which prevented anyone making any
money out of. it. 1t costs only SIS or $40
to put it in, and there is hardly and es-
ia tablishment of any size where 1t would
not pay for itself in a month. pres
sure of at least 40 pounds is necessary to
make the device work. for the steam
would be too wet below that pressure.
There are few places where a large
amount of fuel is used whee the boiler
pressue does not amount to that much,
but, if desired, the steam could be sup
piled from a smaller boiler at this pres
