feeling prevails, and when the liver is
torpid and sluggish and the need of a

of this medicine has often averted long

lY BARBERs ExH1B1r A Po1E.-

Why BARRIERS EXHIBIT A POLE
Anciently BARRIERS performed minor
operations in surgery, and in particu-
lar blood letting. To assist in this
operation, it was necessary for the pa
tient to grasp staff firmly in order to
distend the vein in the arm from which
the blood was to be taken, and for this
purpose a stick or pole was always
kept by the barber-surgeon, together
with the fillet or bandage- he used for
tying the patients arm. When the
pole was not in use the tape was tied
to it, so that they might be both to-
gether when wanted, and in this state,
pole and tape were hung at the door
as a sign. A brass basin was frequent
ly suspended on the pole. This basin
had nrtch cut in it to fit the throat,
was used for lathering customers who
came to be shaved. At length, in
stead of hanging out the identical pole
used in the operation, a pole was paint
ed with stripes around it in the imita-
tion of the real pole and the two
bandages, one for twisting round the
arm previous to blood.letting and the
other for binding.

THE SMART BoARDER.-It doesn't
pay to be too funny. A man who
formerly boarded at Maine hotel
used always to call for "old hen" when
he saw chicken on the bill of fare.
The table girl and cook thereupon pre-
pared for him, and whenever chicken
was served an old hen also was provi-
ded, and this particular boarder always
got generous piece of that. After
this order of things had continued for
three months without the boarded sus-
pecting the joke, one day he called the
waitress to him and told her he was
getting sick of old hens, and he'd like
to have a taste of chicken. "Very
well," was the reply, "you can have it,
but you ordered old hen regularly, and
as this house always pleases its guests
when it is possible we've been giving
you what you ordered"

lively than by me in person. The man
I have engaged for the chase is an old
and skillful detective, an exceptionally
smart one, who being such is not at all
likely to be suspected by them, and l
shall keep him at work among them
until I know all we want to know about
all the McCaffreys. s."
"I-I dent like the idea," stammer-
ed the widow uneasily, "of involving
you, q stranger, in such en- expense as
that. I know it costs great deal to hire
good detective"
"Oh, that's all right" answered John
jauntily. II want to do it for my own
satisfaction now. And you will soon get
over the idea Of looking upon me as a
stranger, hope. Addie has already. "
Addie peeped slyly at him, with a
little smile and a blush, and even around
the old woman's mouth there was mo-
mentary deepening of the wrinkles, as
if she, too, would have smiled had not
that grace been long forgotten by the
muscles in her sad countenance
John Latham told the truth when he
said he wanted to keep up the McCaftrey
hunt on his own account. He was deter
mined he would not be driven from that
field. And, still q better reason, the
continuance of the chase afforded him
an excuse for frequent calls at the cot
tage to tell how his detective was get
ting on and to consult with Mrs. Hall
Incidentally Addie was always present
during those visits, so that he was now
sure of a pleasant hour or two in he1
society at her home, at least once and
sometimes twice week And he saw
with pleasure that her mother was grow
ing accustomed to the sight of him, per-
haps was sometimes even pleased to see
him. In truth, he was making better
progress than he thought Under he1
hard and cold exterior the widow hid a
good warm heart and was not slow to
appreciate the sterling manhood of hel
daughters lover. "He will make her
good husband when justice is done and
I am gone" she said to herself.
One evening when Latham returned
home Chester Sewall said to him:
"You look as happy as if you had won
the grand prize in lottery"
"Why, so I have, the grandest prize
in the lottery Of life, the honest affec'
tion of noble, true hearted girl y.
"Ah, yes, very delightful, no doubt, "
drawled Chester, affecting cynical
! tone. "but it isn't practical. ,"

was written:

The finder stared at the writing in
dismay.
He could hardly have imagined any
thing else that would have seemed so
disastrous at this particular juncture as
Johns departure. Weary in body, sore
in spirit, on the very verge Of despair,
he had come home counting upon re-
ceiying from his friend consolation, en-
couragement, advice, perhaps even ma
terial aid. He felt as he fancied man
might feel who stood alone upon a mere
foothold Of sand in midocean and knew
that the last ship by which he might
have been saved had sailed away from
him in the night

what he would himself consider suffi-

"My dear fellow" he replied, 81 do not

against anyone, but I do say that if this
moment you deliberately upset my ink

should induce me to bring an action

"Why so?'
"The associations and requirements Of

so much that is positively revolving to a

"He comes frequently to see-papa "

of him that he must be very shrewd
fellow. That is shown by the skill with
which, himself keeping out of office, he
disposes VI 80 many offices, wields their
power and no doubt shares their profits. "
"Oh, Chester, he is the very man for
you! Why did I not think of it before!
he might take notion to give you a
good Office and SO put you in the way OF
some day becoming boss yourself.
"Humph! Hardly likely"
"Oh, you can't tell You don't know
how nice he is. am sure he would do
almost anything asked him"
The man who, situated as Chester
Sewall was, could hear the lady of his
love express such confidence in COM
manding the favors of another man
and yet feel no twinge Of jealous suspi-
cion would be a much more perfect
character than he. Yet he would have
been ashamed to give expression to such
feeling upon so small provocation.
He could simply relapse irto gloomy 81
lence. But hma did not even notice
that. She had much to say just then.
The idea of becoming the architect OF
her lovers fortunes had suddenly seized
and fascinated her. She amplifled and
elaborated her primary suggestion.
Yes, she was. sure Of having suft1-
cient influence with Mr.. Pratt to make
him find for her protege some promi-
nent and lucrative Office. Whatever it
might be, she knew that Chester would
grace it, and, his foot once upon the
steep and slippery stairway of fame, he
would surely climb to the top, would be
known Of men and envied, and even
heard of as far away as Boston. Next
year perhaps it might be polite for him
to go to the legislature, and the year
after, or perhaps the second year, to
congress. Then, she did not doubt, her
father would welcome him as son-in-
law.
"It's a long time to wait" sighed
Chester dolefully.
