REsouRcEFUL SMITH.
Here Is the Scheme by which He Grew
Rich Shooting Horses.

Here Is the Scheme by Which He Grew
Rich Shooting Horses.
\ "I lived at little crossroads hamlet
which was not even a postoffice, on the
he between New York state and Penn
Mania" said story teller TO Sioux
journal reporter. "Of course, there
blacksmith shop there. In those
.sys the blaoksmith's trade was noto-
riously good one. All the blacksmiths
got rich with their horse, mule and OK
shooting, and the wagon and the other
repair work which they did. Most of
the blacksmiths combined with their
other work wagon repairing and even
wagon making. There were very few
big wagon factories in those days, and
good hand made wagon cost big mon
ey. When they were doing nothing else,
they would make wagons, and when
there was lots of transient work the
wagons had TO wait. This state line
shop was a busy place. There was no
tavern there, but the blacksmith also
had cider press, and he made the cider
for all the farmers for miles around.
But neither this nor the profits of his
shop could account for the rapid way
in which he accumulated wealth. AS is
we'll known, apple cider, if allowed to
stand long enough, will become hard,
and after that it will turn into vinegar.
tThis cider dealer always had plenty
of hard cider ON hand, but never had
any vinegar for sale. The farmers and
others who stopped at his place could
always get a & nix of hard cider, which
they took out VI a tin dipper at 10 cents
a drink, and the size of the drink was
something which attracted very little
attention. Hardly any kind Of beverage
is more intoxicating than hard cider. 1t
is a good deal like champagne in one
respect. You can drink great deal of
it one day, and the next day you will
be awfully sick and sorry, and good
deal drunken than when you went to
bed. The blacksmith required no license
TO sell hard cider, and he worked the
game DO the limit. His place became
very popular, and the farmers came
from many miles around in both states
to get their bosses shod at his place.
Many of them woul come home drunk,
and their wives began to protest. They
always had to have some excuse for hay
ing visited the state line shop, and so
the blacksmith, after supplying them
with a few dippexfuls of hard cider
would take the shoes off their beasts
and. put Oh. new ones, whether they
needed it on not. For this service he
would charge a good round price, while
in many instances it was noticed he
made no charge for the cider.
But, as is the way Of all flesh, this
blacksmith died one day, and then his
business secrets came out He left an
estate Of over $50, 900, and IN the cellar
of the cider press great number of
empty whisky barrels were found. For
years he had been putting VIII isky into
his cider and had been setting new
shoes on nearly every horse which came
along, willy niRyS'-WashingtonStar.

QUEER ADVERTISEMENTS.
Showing the Results of Bad Punctua
ton and Faulty Composition.

A London periodical recently offered
prize for the best collection of unin-
tentionallly amusing advertisements
Here is a part of the curious effect
which the misplacing of a comma, OF
of word or two, often has upon the
meaning of a sentence:
Annual sale now going on Don't GO
elsewhere to be cheated-come in here. =
Wanted, a room for two gentlemen
about 30 feet long and 20 feet broad
"A lady wants to sell her piano, as
she is going abroad in a strong iron
frame"
Lost, q collie dog by a man on Sat
urday answering to Jim with brass
collar around his neck and a muzzle. "
Wanted, by respectable girl, her
passage to New York, willing to take
care of children and a good tailor
Respectable tailor wants washing on
Tuesday"
m. Brown, furrier, begs to announce
that he will make up gowns, capes,
etc, for ladies out of their own skins"
"A boy wanted who can open oysters
with a reference"
Bulldog for sale, will eat anything
very fond of children"
Wanted, an organist and a boy to
blow the same
Wanted, a boy to be partly outside
and partly behind the counter"
Lest, near Highgate archway, an
umbrella belonging to a gentleman with
a bent rib and bone handle
Widow in comfortable circumstances
wishes to marry two sons"
To be disposed of, a mail phaeton,
the property Of gentleman with a
