Free Omelet for the Fakir.

The Comauche fakir who worked
his oily game in Beaver City, worked
Geneva recently and made lots OF
money, but it is extremely doubtful II
he ever goes there again.
This is the reason; He hired a livery
rig and locating on the main corner he
began to talk. When the crowd had
assumed the right proportions, he told
the people that he would show them
how to make money easily. He then
produced a number of cheap watches
which he offered to sell for $3.50. AS
as extra inducement he placed in each
watch Il five dollar bill. Of course the
watches sold very readily under such
conditions. The inhabitants were
tickled. They thought they were beat
ing the peddler at his W game, and
rs they edged up a little closer to the
buggy, there was n smile of triumph
on their collective co%untenances. They
awaited developments, and the devel.
0pments anne.
After the operator had sold number
of watches, he said he would go the
crowd one better. lie called on those
holding watches, and as each purchas-
or answered he laid down a ten dollar
note in plain sight. He then asked all
holders Of watches to hand them up.
A dozen or more eager fists bobbed
into view, and q dozen or more cheap
silverine watches, all containing five
dollar bills we're handed over. The
townsmen thought it great sport.
They imagined the man would replace
the five dollar notes with notes calling
for ter dollars.
But he didn't, not he. He calmly
opened the watches and took out the
bills. Then he picked up the wad of
''tenncrs" he had laid down and stuffed
the whole wad deep down into n pants
pocket. With "A smile that would
make even Billy Bryan turn cold, he
handed the watches back and politely
bowed and said he hoped the watches
would give satisfaction.
He started to drive away, but the
natives awakened to the fact that they
had been duped, and they unhitched
the traces. Two or three dozen nice,
ripe eggs had in the interim been pur.
chased and these were distributed to
everybody who could throw straight.
Then there vas "a hot time in that
town" Eggs flew through the air and
lit with a dull ,liuicy thud against one
part and another of the peddler's anat
ony. He lodged and howled and
swore and begged, but the eggs still
came, and it was only until the entire
supply had been exhausted that there
was any cessation of hostilities.
The peddler wore a worried look as
he passed out Of town that day. PEG.
pie that passed him on the road held
their noses, while the small boy cried,
Hey, mister, how much. is omelets"-

Those who have had the first

q money order, which she wished

called for. At the same time he asked
her il she had read what was written
on the margin of the order.

any kisses I want them, too"
It is hardly necessary tc say that the
balance of the order was promptly paid
and in a scientific manner.
On reaching home the delighted
maiden remarked to her mother:
Mother. this postnf6cc system of
ours is a great thing. developing more

feature seems to be the best. Jimmy

money order and the postmaster gave

A WOMAN'S LAUGHTER.
II II More Like a ChiId's Than =
Mans.

II II More Like n Child's Than .
Mans.
Women do not, as rule, laugh at
Jokes. They generally laugh to reward
the teller Of q. good thing, and not for
mirth at the thing told. In this way
woman fulfills most definite duty, for
She laughs even when the story does not
come Off well. Her laugh would not be
so temperate or SO punctual if it de-
pended upon a sense of humor. 1t is
somewhat between a child's laughter
and mans, but most like a child's-
At almost every stage &C his early years
child laughs for mere movement. and
not for comedy or derision at all. A
little humor there may be in the earlier
sense of the word. He laughs at the
humors and antics Of rather elder or
rather more en.erprising child; but al
ways from gayety and for interior rea-
sons of Astounding breath ard blood.
Granted that a woman has a small
sense Of humor. she still owes her laugh
to the humorists-even to the unsuc-
cessful. It is a positive debt. If she
were held to the duty of criticism it
would be otherwise; but, as it is, ehe is
committed to nothing. Her laugh Is
no evidence in the connection Of humor
and wit, and it is but just that in this,
too, public opinion should relieve her Of
responsibility. For nothing but an ex-
pccted silence or half-hearted smile
should be held really answerable. If
she were to enter upon the way of criti-
cism she would be more or less unready,
it might be necessary to explain things
to her, which confesscdly would be very
dull.
Besides, tho laugh of judgment and
criticism is apt to he, on fit occasion,
also a laugh too much from the h'.art;
it takes deeper tones, and is no logger
the treble note, undrowned. No; men
who invent the jokes may laugh at Them
the open laugh of appreciation; women,
If they would be kind, must be more i'm
partial.
A feminine laugh. too, has to be dec
orative, and go should be the laugh Of
gayety rather than OF humor. There
can hardly be q question as to the
sweetest laugh to be heard among ma
tions of women-it is surely the French
woman's. She has the softest warble
of all. II doves were not so serious,
they might remind us of Partisan wom
en- laughing together. The italian
laugh is happy enough, but it is not
quite so independent OF the subject Of
laughter: it has jollity all its own. 1t
is somewhat uncivilized, but needs no
civilizing. But its principal character.
istic is the contralto tone proper to the
woman who is to the last somewhat of
n peasant. The laughter Of English
women is too various for any brief de-
scription. For English women laugh,
not according to their race, but accord
ing to their caste, as caste has lately
been revised and redistributed. It may
be said that in caste also the treble
note, the ready. the immediate. fits up
TO its own place-the top-and is audi
BILE there. for all it's splendid quality

The Best Remedy for Rheumatism.

From the Fairhaven On. " Register.
Mr.. James Rowland OF this village
states that for twenty-five years his wife
has been sufferer from rheumatism. A
few nights ago she was in such pair
that she was nearly crazy. She sent Mr..
Rowland for the doctor, but he had read
of Chamberlain Pain Balm, and instead
Of going for the physician he went TO the
store and secured a bottle of il. His wife
did not approve of Mr.. Rowland's pur-
chase at first, but nevertheless applied
the Balm thoroughly, and &. an hours
time was able TO go 10 sleep. She now
applies it whenever she feels an ache or
a pain and finds that it always gives re-
lief. He says that no medicine which she
had ever used did her as much good. The
