FREE CURE FOR men.
A Michigan Man Offers to Send His Dis
covery Free.
Claims to Be Bencfactor to Weakened
Mankind.

There is always more or less supicion at
tacEed TO anything that is offered free, but
sometimes q man SO overfiows with gen.
erosity that he cannot rest until his dis
covery 10 known to the world, In order
that his fellow men may profit by what
he has discovered. 1t Is upon this princi-
pal that resident of Kalamazoo, Mich,
desires to send free to mankind prescrip-
ton which will cure them OF any form OF
doubt and uncertainty which such men
are peculiarly liable to and restores the
organs to natural size and vieor. AS 1t
costs nothing to try the experiment IL
would seem that any man, suffering with
the nervous troubles that usually attack
men who never stopped to realize what
might be the final result, ought to be
deeply interested in q remedy which will
restore them to health, strength and vigor,
without which they continue to live an
existence Of untold misery. AS the remedy
In question was the result OF many years
research as to what combination would be
peculiarly effective In restoring to men
the strength they need, 1t would seem that
all men suffering with any form OF nery-
ous weakness ought to write for such
remedy at once. A request to III. Z. Olds,
Box 1 1.625, Kalamazoo, hdich., stating that
you are not sending for the prescription
out of Idle curiosity, but that you wish to
make use OF the medicine by giving 1t
trial, will be answered promptly and with
out evidence as to where evidence came
from.
The prescription is sent free and al
though some may wonder how Mr.. Olcs
can afford to give away his discovery,
there IS no doubt about the offer being
genuine. q Cut this out and send to Mr.
Ofds so that he may know how you came
to write to him.

Too Much For the Money.

IN the Glasgow underground railroad
the experiment was recently tried OF
1oing away with tickets and letting
people ride as far as they wished for a
penny. On the first day of the trial.
however. many persons got into the cars
and spent the day riding round and
round. The directors did not have the
patience to wait for the novelty TO wear
of, but restored the ticket system after
/ week.

"Ho was a man of fairly healthy appearance.

said Alden Preston, q travelling salesman,
speaking Of a man whom he met in Chicago. II

He had u Government contract for dredging
In the lake, and stayed a great deal at this ho-
tel. which was conveniently near his work.
After / had got omewh acquainted with him
I noted the regularity with which he would go
to the bar for a drink. His tipplc was always
rum, and the drink was n stiff one. After we
had got further along in our acquaintance no
told me the reason for his constant drinking.
My life depends on it, he said: The rum
connteracts the poison OF a copper bullet that |
America shot me 6ve years ago. 1 was one Of

A New Word Describing the Latest Product or

been added to the police vocabulary here. For
years the local authorities have wondered II
there was not in Migrants parlance u special
word descriptive Of the variety of tramps that
prey upon their fellows. Some arrests that
were made the other day supplied the desired
clue. In one night three citizens were held up
by three tramps. The detectives raided 4 cheap
lodging house, and after a desperate fight ar.
rested nine tramps. As the prisoners were
brought into the police station a ragged vagrant
who had secured lodgings for the n ight nudged
his cellmate and whispered:
They're yaghums.'
As the bank burglar Is the aristocrat of the
thieving profession, so the yaghum is he prince
Of the tramp fraternity. As he silently swings

looks Of terror that greet his entrance. For
