unique fim-ham game Wednesday. the

pense being negro. G. p. Byrd recently
moved out of the dwelling house at 452
Capitol avenue. When he moved he left
a carpet on the floor of the reception room

house was locked up and cards announc-
ing that the place was for rent were tack

honesty broke open the back door. He un-
latched the front door, pulled the cards
off the house and so arranged the furni-
ture that when the front door was open
it was in fun view. Having fixed his bait,
the darby awaited his victim. A farmer
drove along and was hailed by the negro,
who said that the lady of the house"
wanted to buy some butter. The country
man said he had fine butter at 30 cents per
pound This would suit the lady exactly

and returned with a tray which he had
found. Now, mister, gimme two pounds
Of butter and change for S-blll and III

The unsuspectng farmer gave the negro

Returning to the house, the rogue slam

some of Mr.. Byrd household goods with
him. The farmer waited some time and
then knocked at the front door. There
was no answer. He waited patiently for
q while and knocked again. Still no an

no response, and finally, the bewildered
countryman sought q policeman and relat-
ed his troubles He was Informed that
he had been victimiZed and departed, a
sadder but wiser man.

A NEW DISCOVERY BY
THE SHAKERS.

For more than a hundred years the
Mount Lebanon Shakers have studied the
cultivation of medicinal plants and sought
TO extract from them their healing es-
sences. Their labor has not been spent in
vain. They have made a discovery that
will prove a blessing to mankind. II con-
sistG of a cordial that causes Immediate
relief in cases OF Indigestion. The inn
portancc of this discovery will be appa-
rent when we realize that nearly nine
tenths of our suffering are caused by dys-
pepsia or Indigestion. Nearly every per-
son you meet has this digestive trouble
in some of tsNVaried fOrms-sck head
ache, distress after eating, pain and full
ness In the chest after eating, palpitation
of the heart, etc, are but symptoms of indi-
geston. To relieve these sufferings has
been the study Of the Shakers, and they
have succeeded. The reason the Shaker
digestive Cordial has such an Immediate
and sautary effect IL that 1t causes the
food eaten to be digested for it is undi-
gested food that causes the distress. The
Cordial causes the food to be digested be-
fore there is time for 1t to ferment and
sour on the stomach When the food is so
digested it gives strength and vigor to the
feeble body. makes one feel bright and
cheerful! and makes one gain in flesh.
The Digestive Cordial is so prompt In its
action that the very first dose will have a
perceptibly favorable result. 1t gives inn
mediate relief.
Every druggist has been sent a supply OF
our handsome Donkey Puzzle Books, and
a copy may be had for the asking. 1t tells
all about the Cordial as well as Laxol, the
new castor oil
Try twenty-five cent bottle of Diges-
tive Cordial and see what 1t will do for
you.

A valuable trotting mare owned by Con-
zales Oliveros, died at St. Augustine We'd
nesday under peculiar circumstances. on
Saturday morning last Mr.. Oliveros, on
entering his stable, discovered that the
LETT hind leg of the animal had been badly
injured by the prongs of an old rake. The
prongs had been driven into the leg in
three different places, and the limb was
badly swollen. The rake was found in
corner of the stable, and the prongs were
covered with blood. Mr.. Oliveros doc
tored the injury but is was evident that
the rusty prongs had produced blood-pois-
oning. Last week Mr.. Oliveros discharged
a colored boy whom he had had at work
around the stable On Friday night neigh
bors saw the boy proving around his
stable and the next day he left town
with another well-known character. II
is believed that the boy stuck the prongs
into the leg of the horse for revenge. Mr..
Oliveros was offered $500 for the mare last
month, but he was so much attached to
it that he refused the offer
jacksonville Citizen: NJ. Burt who has
patented many useful things, has recently
turned his attention toward a device to
aid beginners in learning to ride bicy-
Gle. The idea was first suggested to Mr.,
Burt by a desire to learn to ride, as his
occupation of watch repairing does not
permit of much exercise and he find diff
Guilty in walking. The result is simple
continuance by which a frame is attached
to the rear part of the bicycle. Attached
to each frame is a small wheel, coming
within an inch Of the ground. Thus when
the wheel is perpendicular neither wheel
touches the ground, but when it is leaned
either way, one Of the wheels revolves as
fast as the bicycle is propelled. The
wheels act as a balance, so that it is inn
possible to fall over on the bicycle. The
need of some one to hold up the machine
when one is learning to ride is thus
avoided The invention is also of value
to elderly persons. who do not ride for
fear of falling MIR Burt has just had
a rough model made, which has proved to
give entire satisfaction. He will have it
patented and will then make arrange
ments to have 1t manufactured.
