How q Respectable Citizen Put Him
self Under the Ban.
A respectable citizen Of a small West
Virginia town is under suspicion and
his domestic relations are badly strain
ed. 1t all came about from a visit he
made to Washington few days ago.
He had read about confidence men
and was determined that he should not
fall into their clutches. Hence, when
he got OF the train at the Baltimore and
Ohio station the countryman was not
greatly surprised when a man accosted
him with "Good morning, Mr.. Smith"
"My name hain't Smith. It's Per
kins"
Then the old man chuckled to him.
self. Now, there'll be another fellow
along and call me Perkins. They won't
find out my name is Hadley."
At the Capitol another man accosted
him. Good morning. Mr.. Hadley."
The countryman was amazed, but said.
MY name hain't Hadley; it's Perkins" +"
Then to himself he murmured, ''Won-
der how them fellers found out my
true name, but won't have no truck
with EN-"
But the individual at the Capitol was
not confidence man, but a former
neighbor whom Hadley failed to recog-
niZe, and he went back to the little
West Virginia town and told that the
respected citizen was skylarking
around Washington under an assumed
name. When he returned he was in
formed by his wife that the story of his
misdeeds had preceded him and that
she wanted to know who the woman
was he came to Washington to see. His
business partner suggested that when
he was ashamed of his name and want
ed to sail under a nom de plume he had
better 60 farther away from home, and
30 far Mr.. Hadley has failed to find
any one who believes his story about
the affair, although 1t Is strictly true

the physical development is sadly in
need Of something to keep it in
trim. Well, that has been my COM
plant for years, and some months
ago Became very bilious, and con-
stipation made lite miserable for
me at times. Then il took a seat in
my LIVER, which became noticeably
inactive, and became alarmed
about it. The first thing I turned
my attention to was to secure
'Iiver regulator which, however,
failed to regulate; next 1 sought
relief in 'liver pills. which so pained
and griped me that the cure was,
thought, worse than the disease.
The next thing / did was to throw
away the whole shooting MATCH
and resolve to take no more propri-
etory medicines. However, on
hearing my tale Of woe, one day, at
the Office, a fellow-workman offered
me small Tabule-Ripans,h he
called it-which, he said, he would
guarantee to act On the liver. I
took it under protest, expecting to

agreeably surprised In its action. It
was very gentle, and resolved to

ally noted an entire change in the
