CHRISTMAS AT KENO.
Rwvv Hard Luck Hanktns' Tree Was
 Decorated.

Hwww Hard Luck H@mk1m1 IEG@ "M@
 Decorated.
 "Speakin of Christmas trees" said Cyclone Murphy as he snuffed candle on the topmost twig of the Keno Gulch Sunday school tree with his trusty six shooter and then nipped remonstrance in the bud by getting the drop on the Sunday school superintendent, Gre minds me of @ galoot named Hard Luck Hankins, who lived up on Tendsrfoot ridge and who was the biggest kicker that ever kicked. This yere Hard Luck Hankins lived in a cabin on top of the ridge and p'tended ez how he was miner, but he didn't never seem to mine anything and was ginerally regarded ez e feller without visible means of sup. port. Some folks said he was road agent and others opined ez how hoss stealth might be the mine hO was workin.
 "The only thing Keno Gulch ever really knowed him to be doin was put tin up a powerful kick about one thing CT another. He alters had some hard luck story to tell, and that waa why folks called him Hard Luck Hankins.
 "There wasn't a decent lookin tree on top of the hull ridge except one, and that tree was a mighty handsome pine that stood right in front of Hard Luck Hankins' shanty. she's my cid Christ mas tree, Hankins would growl every time Christmas come around, but, dern her ole hide, Santy Claws don't never hang nothin on her fer me.
 "That was jes' Hard Luck's pesky and onery way-allers kickin about somethin-and that handsome tree nev. CT havin anything hangin on it fer him seemed to rile him specially every year. Whats tue use havin a blame Christ mas tree that never don't have nothin hangin on to it?' he'd growl. Have a dern good notion to cut her down!
 '.This went on year after year, and the boys kep' a-wonderin and avon derin how Hard Luck gotVa Twin. One Christmas eve they found out, and it put an end to Hard Luck's quarrel with his big pine Christmas tree.
 Fer the very first Christmas sence Hard Luck had been Twin in Keno there was somethin hangin on his Christmas tree.
 "what was it?' repeated Cyclone Murphy as he suuffed another candle. "Why, it was old Hard Luck Hankins hisself, and he s-kickin-ez-usual, and kickin with both feet. "-Selected.

Two Point.d Questions Answered

TwO POint'd Questions Answered,
 What is the use of making better ar- ticle than your competitor if you can not get a better price for it?
 Ans.--As there is no difference in the price the public will buy only the better, so that while our profits may be smaller on a single sale they will be much great CT in the aggregate,
 How can you get the public to know your make is the bestg
 If both articles are brought prominent. ly before the public both are certain to be tried, and the public will very quickly pass judgment on them and use only the better one. This explains the large sale on Chamberlain's Cough Remedy The people have been using 1t for years and have found that it can always be depend ed upon. They may occasionally take up with some fashionable novelty put forth with exaggerated claims, but are certain to return to the one remedy that they know to be relia bl-, aud for coughs, colds and croup there is nothing equal to Cham. berlain's Cough Remedy.

Most people imagine" said local nerve

bic test by TEich they can detect insanity
Immediately. OF course, that's all nom
sense. There are many odd methods OF
diagnosing such cases, however. in loco

difficulty in articulating particular letters.

wrong, and that reminds me of a tragic
incident which occurred in a southern court
not many years age. A man was being ex-
amined for insanity, and one of the lawyers
made the experts the butt of great deal
OF ridicule. He scoffed particularly at the
kree-jerk test and asked to have IT applied
to himself. There was reflex action,
ard the fact had a powerful effect on the
jury, especially the lawyer happened 10
be a man of brilliant attachments. After
the trial was over he got to thinking about
