"A Bad Bargain.

Look at her." said Jabbs, as he
jumped from his bicycle at the corner
where half a. dozen of his friends were
watching the procession of wheelmen.
There's a daisy for you. Regular
beauty! All the latest improvements;
no chain and strong withou being
heavy. Nobody has a better wheel
and it fits me just as though it was
made to measurements
''It is fine one," admitted one of
the crowd. Must have set you back
a good deal for it,
That's where you're off I'm too
fly to pay 500 for riding machine.
Hain't she a dandy? And just among
ourselves, she cost me exactly s1160."
'No!"
"Thats right. If there's a bargain
lying round loose Z anywhere you can
bet I'll find it. Nice looking young
fellow was going through here on q
tour. He went lame in one leg and
stayed at the hotel, thinking that he
would come out all right again. He
dldnt, became discouraged, ran short
on cash, and finally offered me tho
wheel if I'd buy him ticket home.
JOye! but she's corker. You fellows
better let me buy your wheel for you"
Just at this point two detectives
came along. One Of them took look
ut Jabbs' wheel, went by, made band
wagon turn and returned, examined
he wheel, compared the number with
one in his notebook, called his COM
panion, and the two led the daisy"
off between them to the station-house.
Jabbs swore copiously and made a
bold start to get out a writ of re-
pleVin, but he thought better of it,
and is now hunting the fellow he made
the deal With.-Detroit Free Press.

Robin Hoods Of the country made this
their place Of rendezvous. 1t is also

How To Look Good.

Good looks are really more than skin
deep, depending entirely on a healthy
condition of ali the vital organs. If the
liver is inactive, you have bilious look;
if your stomach is disordered, you have
dyspeptic look; if your kidneys are af-
fected, you have pinched look, Secure
good health, and you will surely have
good looks. Electric Bitters" is a good
Alternative and Tonic. Acts directly on
the stomach, liver and kidnevs purifies

Women as Business Advisers.

1t is said that the only two coun-
tries where women are the leaders and
men in leading strings are France and
the United States. Frenchmen COM
ment on the fact that English and
American women often are utterly ig-
norant as to whether their husbands
are making or losing money, while the
Frenchwoman, even in business, is her
husbands adviser, and is made his
confdante in regard to all his busi-
ness transactions The critics think
that the different positions occupied
by American and English women are
due largely to education, boys and girls
being educated in the same schools In
America.

AFTER HE WAS HIT.
Tho Sensation of an American Omce1
When Shot.

The Sensation of an American Omcez
When Shot.
First Lieut.. w. H. WasselI, I'D Unit
ed States infantry, writing to his par
ents, Mr.. and Mrs Edwin H. Wassell Of
Pittsburg, quoted by the Pittsburg
Press: 81 was shot at about 4 o'clock
in the afternoon of July while storm
ing Ell Caney, northeast of Santiago. l
was looking through field glasses at
the time and the ball cut through the
outer part Of the little finger of the
left hand, joint next to the hand, then
through the palm of the hand, out just
below the index finger, then in the
cheek about half an inch from the left
corner OF my mouth, back through my
mouth taking several back teeth, ,doWn-
ward through my neck, still downward
and toward my spine, coming out about
half way down my back, and about four
inches from my spine. l haven't
bone broken. l can swallow, and,
thank God, 1 am strong, and, aside
from possible scars, I will be no worse
off. 1 will never forget the sensation
Of being shot. We had been under fire
all day-the hottest rain of bullets that
men ever went up against. The Span
iards were all intrenched. They shot
us from behind earthWorks, block
houses, trees and church towers. All
at once it seemed as if I were lifted
from the ground and whirled around
and around, oh, So terribly fast. l
never lost consciousness during the
sensation. I felt myself going, but |
seemed to realize that if l let myself
go it would be all over. so I took
brace, and, after what seemed an age
Of this awful whirling, I was dropped
to the ground. Then it seemed as il
| no one would notice that I had been
hit. 1t seemed an age before l heard
a man swear and say: They've lit
Lieut.. Wassell.' He picked me up to
carry me down behind the crest of the
hill, and what a storm of bullets the
poor fellow got as he raised me.
didn't know how badly I was hurt, but
from the blood gushing from my mouth
+ and the pain in my back where the
bullet had left me, imagined l was in
1t pretty badly. Capt. Lochinvar came
to me, and l remember telling him l
did not know whether I was done for
or only scared to death. One of the
men dressed me as we'll as he could
with my first bandages, and 1 lay under
a tree until about 6 o'clock. About
that time some more Spaniards began
riot on the other side of me, and for
little while bullets from friend and
foe whirled over me and struck near
me. About sundown, the firing hav-
ing ceased, l was carried about a mile
to the brigade hospital. Here l wa,
dressed. The doctors were worked 10
death and did their best. All night
and all the next day our hospital was
fired upon by Spaniards. Toward the
evening Of the second day I was put
in a wagon and taken about three
miles to the division hospital, which l
left in the morning Of the Sd to go to
Siboney. Twelve of US rode in the am
bulance. 1t was good ten-mile ride
over the most abominable road That
night they put me on board the Chero-
kee for Key West hospital. l didn't
want to go, but 1t was not matter Of
argument"

Fares Charged by Height.

A curious custom Of the British rail-
way officials in India has recently been
adopted by the Bavarian steamboat
lines on the lakes near Munich. Now
the conductor does not ask the par
ents, "How old is your child?" but
he simply takes out his measure,
stands the children up and takes their
height. That stops all lying and fraud.
Any child under two feet high goes
free, and those between 2 feet and
8 feet inches pay half fare. In India
and Ceylon this was the only possible
way to get an equitable settlement OF
the question, for with the young ma
tives it was almost an impossibility
to Judge of their age by their appear

Active Volcano In France.

Frances single active volcano is a
low, broad hill, four hundred feet high,
near Decazeville, in the department of
the Aveyron. The crater sends out
thick clouds of smoke, and burning
lava is seen at the bottom of the fls-
sures. If stick is thrust into the
ground it catches fire, smoke, sparks

At Last.

At Last.
There's glimmer of joy through the
vapors that roll
To darken the husbandman's day;
A sweet reinsurance falls soft Ger his
soul:
A trust has monopolized hay.
'Tis true that no benefit he may derive
From the price which consumers
must pay,
But pride in his calling must certainly
thrive
Since a trust has monopolized hay.
For gold bricks and green goods aveng-
ed he will be
And he'll carol content and gay
With excusable glee as he pauses to see
How the public is buncoed on hay.

Regarding Pass Checks.

The officers of the Yale Agricultural
Association wish to impress the fact
upon the minds of the public that the
entrance fees paid at the gate during
the fair next week Tuesday, Wednes-
day and Thursday will be good for
one day, for instance you pay 20 cents
admission for one person, and should
you wish to leave the grounds at any
time during the day pass check will
be issued which will entitle you free
admission on your return on day of
issue, but in no case whatever can you
give this pass to another person for it
will be forfeited. On account of this
change the officers hope to have q
much larger attendance than in previ-
Gus years.

THE VALUE OF SERVICE MEDALS.
THEY ARE MARKS OF DISTINCTION FOR LONG
AND FAITHFUL SERVICE IN THE
NATIONAL. GUARD.

Medals for long and faithful service are being o's-
,rlbuted with appropriate ceremony In tho various
arories at this time and the officer who performs
the pleasant duty usually calls attention 10 the
value OF the decoration. Ex-lnspector-General NC
Crath inspected the Path Separate Company at Mid
dletown last Tuesday evening. Before making the
presentation OF medals he said:
when ono enlists In the National Guard and COM
pletes the contract period he receives a full ana
honorable discharge. This loses to ;he state SOL
der who has had experience. II he remains in the
service or re-enlists the State Is gamer and re-
tains soldier who has experience and Is valuable.
1t IS eminenty proper that the Government should
in some degree show its appreciation 10 those who
continue beyond their first enlistment Hence the
inception of the decoration for long and faithful ser
vice given by the State of NewYork.
The comforting OF medals is not modern idea,
but has been a custom for years. They are usually
given as marks Of distinction. eminent worth. noble
conduct heroic deeds and faithful and long con
tnued service. The tokens are not for the Intrinsic
value the principal worth depending on their asso
citation
These medals are offered by the State for two
reasons First. reward for long and faithful ser
vice; second. that they may act as stimulus 10
those In the service 10 remain
