For a number of years past
Judge Wann has been the crack
yarn-spinner Of the village, He
has met and beaten men from
seven counties, and his friends
had concluded that he was SIM
ply invincible. Had he not
taken board at the Gem Hotel,
ne still might have beens,,called
so, but drummer came-and we
all know a drummer. When we
stepped into the hotel office one
night last week, we noticed a
good crowd had just come
out from supper and were Istand-
ing around the stove; among
whom were a drummer and the
Judge. When we were all
seated, the drummer OF course
thought Of something Estrange
that had happened to him in his
time and told u Of It. After he
mad finished the Judge, no doubt
thinking his reputation at stake
leaned over and said; "that re-
minds me of-but that's as far as
ne ever got, The drummer gave
MN no chance to proceed fur
Eher' AS soon as he got through
with one yarn he would Start
another by saying-"eorter like

After ono hour Of continual talk

For some time past DR.. T. Foo Yuen,
the eminent Chinese physician of No.
92S South Broadway. this city, has been
contemplating some very important
changes and advances in the line of his
professional work. For one thing, his
:. practice has grown to such an extent
y hat it has been difficult of late for him
to give it proper attention alone, an as
tonishing increase in business which is
accounted for by the doctors personal
popularity with all who have consulted
him, a popularity due solely to his af-
liability, his fair dealing in all matters,
and his success in curing various Dis
eases by means of his herbal speeches..
DR.. Foo has also desired to give more
attention to preparing and publishing
works upon the Oriental system of
medicine, explaining it's principles and
illustrating it's method for the benefit
of the American people who have very
imperfect conception Of the genuine
Oriental system. And, in the third
place. he has desired to found College
of Oriental Medicine, in which the sys-
tenn shall be actually taught, for the
benefit of very many persons who have,
at different times. expressed desire to
obtain a practical, working knowledge
of it. Among these inquirers have
been some practicing physicians, in
regular standing who have come to
realize that a knowledge of pulse dag
nosis and an acquaintance with wider
range of harmless, herbal remedies
would be of immeasurable assistance to
them in their professional work.
Finding that he could not perform
these somewhat difficult tasks unaided,
DIR. Foo cast about for suitable asso-
ciate or co-worker, and finally secured
the services and cooperation Of his
cousin, DIR. Ii Wing Of San Francisco,
a son of the late celebrated Chinese
physician, Dr. Ii Po Tai, who practiced
his profession almost exclusively
among the white residents Of San Fran
cisco and other cities and portions of
California for almost half century, and
was famed far and wide for his ability,
his energy, his tact and common sense,
and his wonderful success in the treat
ment of disease, attaining a position,
clientage and a financial standing that
might we'll be the ambition Of any med
ical practitioner. DR.. Wing was edu-
The herald., 1897-04-25

Gated, like DR.. Foo, at the Great Imperi-
al Medical college at Peking, and also
received very thorough education in
medical practice from his distinguished d
father, especially in the adaptation of
the Chinese system to the treatment of
Caucasians, an adaptation which is very
difficult and requires much study, orig
inal investigation and experience, be-
cause the physical constitution, the men,
tai and bodily habits, the social environ
ment and the surrounding conditions of
the Caucasian are so very different
from those of the Oriental. Medicines
act very differently upon the body of
white man than they do upon the body
of a Chinaman or a Japanese, and the
ways of administering them have there
fore very greatly to be modified. DIR. Ii
Po Tai achieved his wonderful success
in a strange land, among an unknown
people, speaking an alien tongue, SIM
ply because he thoroughly understood
this fact and made study of the condi-
tions which areback of it. The result was
that he succeeded in thousands of diff
cult cases where others of his fellow
countrymen, physicians like himself.
failed ignominiously He intended his
sui, LIZ LII w lIl6, " Oc iliS SuCCCSSOl, dlu
took infinite pains in teaching him these
truths, which he regarded as of the very
highest Importance.
Having selected DR.. Ii Wing as his
associate in the work which he had
planned, DR.. Foo set about to secure him,
and 1t may interest those who know
something about this system of medi-
cine, or have certain degree of curios-
ity concerning it, to know the truly ORR
entail method by which this was accom-
plished. DR.. Wing has successfully prac-
ticed his profession in San Francisco for
the past several years His family and
friends are there, and DR.. Foo knew that
he would not care to leave that city un-
less to enter a wider field. One crcum-
stance, however, favored the plan,
namely, the still unsettled difficulty be-
tween the Chinese societies. the Sam
Yups and the See Yups, in San Fran
cisco, which has brought about a war
that practically paralyzes all industries,
occupations and professions among the
Chinese population of San Francisco.
Taking advantage of this state of affairs.

it in his letters, DR.. Foo commenced ne

Thirty Thousand Elk

Thirty thousand elk are wintering In
the Jackson's Hole country of Wyoming.
according to the estimate of the game
warden, who says that in one herd, which
he saw the other morning, there were
$4,000 of them, stretching over a distance
of six miles. The sight, he said, sur
passed anything he had ever seen and
utterly amazed him. The elk's trail over
the snow was like flint ice. he said. so
hard had the snow been packed down..
The animals are seen by the thousands
any morning, moving along the Snake
river from the Great swamp to the Gros
Ventre hills, and at night the walls oe
the calves straying from their mothers
may be heard.-Mohave Miner.

Different in Mexico

Household furiture is moved on fiat
street cars.
Street cars run on one side of the
street insteed of the middle of the thor
oughfare.
A great many stores in Mexico sell the
rather unuSal combination Of wines
and stationery.
Evening newspapers are dated a day
ahead, and the newsboys call ''tomor-
row mornings paper" at o'clock the
day before.
The various nationalities represented
in Mexico are in quite clannish way
interested in different branches of busi-
ness. The French control the dry goods
business all over the republic; the Ger
mans are largely interested in the drug
and liquor trade; the Spaniards supply
the groceries; Americans run the rail-
roads and represent the big United
States firms, and the Italians are cop
persmiths.
Newsboys are not allowed to cry
anything but the names of the papers
they have for sale. This regulation was
made necessary by the willful misrepre-
sentations made by the boys to sell
their papers. They would announce the
most startling events in order to dis
pose of any surplus stock, and the eager
purchaser would not find word in the
paper concerning the sensation so loud
ly proclaimed by the thrifty newsboy.
Prominent person walking down the
street would be surprised to hear their
names called out in connection with
some crime or arrest with which they
had nothing to do, or which never oc-
Cured The abuse became SO great
that it was found necessary to limit pa
per sellers to the sole announcement Of
the names of the papers offered.

there are elements in the pineapple pc
culiarly suited to the stomach, and so
the dyspeptics were curing themselves
faster than ever when they noticed that
their teeth seemed affected somehow.
They went to their dentists and were in
formed that there was an acid in the
pineapple which was liable to destroy the
teeth. Thus they were confronted with
this dilemma-life with a stomach and
no teeth, or life with teeth and no stom-
ach. The latter condition seems the the

tics are beginning to think they may
never be cured.-New York Sun.
