| Old man Cts Bradley died the other
day at the home Of the departed one
over on lIuckleberry ridge, and so fur
as am concerned | do feryently hope
he has now crossed over TO that other
land of light and sunshine and flowers
But il in the run of time it was to
come my way TO live right on in this
wide and wicked world for n hundred
years to come, ! don't see how could
ever disremember the time when old
man Cts made scandlous bad break
at my grandfulher's house one cold and
stormy winter night.
Up to about that time-which he was
then pushin 60 mighty cOst-old man
Cts had been terrible wild and way.
ward and wicked man. He had Travelled
all the gaits and covered all the ground
-drinkin and cussin and tightin and
carousin and carryin on TO beat SIX
bits. But in the summer before thar
they had big protracted meetin down
at old Cool Springs church. There was
tremendous outpourin and mighty
rattlin in the valley of dry bones for
several days, and consequentially old
man Cts had cast out about II devils,
MS il were, and come over on the right
side.
From there on through the fall the
old man felt every inch of his ground
But he had went to town that day
which if l remember right it was in
the Christmas, and the weather, yon
understand, was cold as fugins. HUI
man nature was human then-the same
as it is now and always will be
and old man Cts he slipped and fell.
First and last durin the day he climbed
up around sundry and numerous
drinks, and when he started out on his
return back home he was needin of a
jug before he could tote any more.
When he rid up to grandfather's
house that night he was most serenely
and fcloniously drunk. But you see
grandfather had preached the very SER
mont which brought old Cis out OF dark
ness into light, and then when the old
man got drunk and feelin rale sick and
mean about it he didn't have no better
sense than come a bilin over to see his
preacher and fess up to the error of his
ways.
Well do recollect that when old man
Cts come into the house that night we
had built a roarin big fire, and the long
err he hung around the family hearth
stone the drunken he got, till, bless
gracious, if it didn't look like he would
90 to sleep and fall over in it. Till this
very minnit can see the sad but lovin
look on my grandfather's face as he
took in the general circumference OF
the calamity and spoke up and said:
eve will now have family prayers,
brother Bradley, and then all retire to
bed"
That's all right, parson,' says old
man Cts as he shut one eye to keep from
seem double, "go right on with the
prayer meetin, Facts are rutheI
think it STAN good idea"
Raley now, l reckon it was wrong. I
never did even sorter try to make out
like it was right. But when the family
prayers had been helt l sneaked off to
my trundle bed out in the shed room
and laughed and laughed and laughed

A CouNTERFEITER CAUGHT.
The Police of Syracuse Make nm I'M
nOrtnnt Cnpture.

On Monday the 18th Harold Marquisee, Of
Utica, N. Y, was arrested in Syracuse, n.
Y, on a warrant sworn out by the DR.. Val
lians' Medicine CO., charging him with forg-
erv. On the 18th of December Marqulsee
visited a photoengraver in Syracuse, say
ing he was the representative OF the Dr.
Williams Medicine Co, and arranged Tor the
making of full set of plates for the dlIec-
ton sheets, labels, etc, of the famous DR..
Williams Pink Pills for Pale People. News
of this reached the home office, and no time
was lost in arranging for his arrest when ne
should return for the plates. lie returned
On the 18th, and was accordingly arrested
and is now in Jail in Syracuse awaiting eX-
animation, which occurs on March I'd.
This arrest proves to be an important
one In addition to various plumber, such
as medical books, typewriters, rugs, etc,
found in Marquisee' trunk when arrested,
the police also found counterfeit com both
in the trunk and on his person; and IN a
search of his apartments in Utica found a
complete outfit for counterfeitlng consist
ing of crucibles, bellows, nickel, lead,
bsmuth, anthony, a small blacksmith
forge, a charcoal furnace. and several plas-
ter,of-paris molds. The United States mar.
shals want him lust as soon as DR.. Williams
Medicine Co. are through with him, and, no
doubt, he will be sentenced for long pc
riod.
In selecting DR.. Williams Pink Pills for
his counterfeiting operations, he showed his
knowledge of the proprietary medicine bust,
ness; for these pills are in such great demand
that they are easily sold at any drug store in
the United States. His scheme was to work
the country druggists and sell his imita-
tions at a discoun. of from2per cent. to per
cent, explaining the reduced price by the
fact that he had picked them up in small
lots and at discount from dealers who were
overstocked. BY working fast and making
long jumps, he would have secured many
hundreds of dollars in a short time. The
proprietors of DR.. Williams Pink Pills are
most fortunate to have caught the rogue, be-
fore he had fairly started, and to have thus
kept these spurious goods out of the market.

Squire Noogin, justice of the peac,
in and for Rocky Greek Beat-old "Ne
Cessity," as the boys are wont to cal
hin-had the gonebyest most strangest
case up for trial in his court one day
last week that will ever go down on The
pages of ancient history.
You never would of thought it know
hut if Squire Noogin didn't try deac
niger on the charge of totin a con.
cealed pistol and find him guilty, ther
mother is a wilder and | aint married
And from all the general facts which
have leaked out in the case, this is the
way it come TO pass.
Bright and early one mornin last week
a well-known colored citizen, of third
person, single number and African gen
der, by the name of Reed Gillian
showed up dead down at Little Wolf
Greek bridge. Old Necessity" he soon
got the news and nothin would do but
he must sail right in and call a jury
and have a trial on the mortal remains,
When they all got down to the bridge
and everything was ready for the trial,
Squire NOogin he searched the dead
and found a pistol and seven dollars in
the late unlamented Reed Gillam's
pockets. The jury soon returned YER
dict to the general extent that the said
Reed Gillian had come to his death in
come way unknown to the world. And
right on the heels of that old "Neces-
sity" writ out papers of complement
and had the dead man brung up for trial
in court on the charge of totin concealed
weapons. Col. Rams Hooker was APP
pointed as the attorney TO prosecute
the case. They tell me he made a most
tremendous and powerful speech in the
name of law and order. and for the honor
and dignity Of the state. In less than
three minnits the squire give out his
Judgment and found the dead defendant
guilty as charged in 1he papers of com
p,llment, and fined him five dollars and
costs.
Naturally, of course, Squire Noogin
and Col. Hooker they didn't do blessed
thing then but whack up and divy on
the pile. The squire helt (s5) five dol
lars for the fine and costs, whilst the
colonel he took ls2l two dollars and the

MASKS FOR AGE.

They Serve But to Increase the Marks
of Time.
The host and hostess at an English
country house offered a strange con
trast in appearance as they entertained
their guests from opposite ends of the
table. In reality the husband was
eight years older than his wife, but he
looked 20 years younger. How this
came about may readily be explained
The lady could not endure the
thought that she was growing old. For
years she had dyed her hair and eye
brows, enamelled her forehead and
neck and painted her cheeks.
Every artifce which she employed to
conceal the signs Of advanced years
only served to make her look older
As she sat at table with her guests she
seemed to he wearing a mask which did
not fit her. Everyone could see the
paint and rouge and understood why il
was that she never smiled.
Her ladyship has a good sense of
humor," remarked one of the guests in
the smoking-room in an aside to a com
panion, but she never laughs at my
stories, much as she would like to dc
so. She cannot smile, poor lady, after
her toilet is made for the evening. Her
face is steeled against all jokes. Idou't
know what would happen if she were to
laugh heartily. Her rigid face, with
It's dyes and paint, would break up and
90 to pieces"
yes" was the reply, "she is aging
fast, and cannot last long. But how
young and sprightly our host appears! -
His hair was gray and growing thin,
but no one noticed it as an indication of
age. He had a fresh, natural complex
ion, and fine glow of health in his
cheeks. Making no attempt whatever
to disguise his age. and laughing ner-
rily at every Jest, he seemed one of the
Youngest men in the party. So youth
full was he in appearance and flow of
spirits that nobody thought of him as
be really was-a man "well stricken in
