THINK SHERIFF A 'Poo-BAH."


Strange Requests Made of This ofacer-
Cards of Warning:
Sheriff Pease is asked to perform all
sorts of duties for persons who live
from 1000 to 1900 miles away from
Chicago in b%ackwoods districts. To-
day he received a letter from j. B..
Westfall Of Angleton, Brazonia county,
Texas, asking him If he knew of some
one who wanted to buy a bear. 1t
weighs $50 pounds, says the writer, Is
nearly 8 years old, and is well accom-
plished in the art of wrestling with
men. The sheriff is at a loss to ac-
count for being the subject of these
strange requests. He thinks it is be-
cause in sparsely settled counties of
"pooh-bah" and the people go to him
with all their troubles and all their af-
fairs. Mr.. Pease has referred the let
ter to a Chicago museum manager.
Chief Deputy Peters Of the sheriff's
office is going to have some cards
printed warning persons against tick
cts to balls or entertainments which
dIS lSStu W U6 LOT Tie Deu0lL OI Luo
sheriff's employees. The cards will
read:
Take warning-Beware of people
who would sell you tickets to balls,
parties or entertainments alleging
them to be for the benefit of the en-
ployes of the sheriff's Office. This Of
flee has had no party, picnic or benefit
entertainment for seven years, and
does not at this time intend having
one. JAMES PEASE, Sheriff.
The cards will be distributed among
the friends of those employed in the
office. The regular annual harvest of
victims of this kind of fraud is just be-
ing gathered. Today Chief Peters re-
ceived word that yesterday a man
bought 81 worth of tickets to a ball
from two men, who said they we're SELL
ing tickets for a benefit affair. The
victim told the men to keep the tick
cts that he had nc use for them.-Chi-

She Had More Gum Left.

A FunXsutawney girl, says the Spir-
it Of that town, was out hiking the
other day with a Punsutawney young
man. They were six miles from home,
on a country road.
She punctured her tire.
"Alasw said the young man, as he
dismounted and looked the picture of
despair, 81 have no repair kit! What
shall we do? 1t is awful"
Quickly extracting a large wad of
chewing gum from her mouth, she
placed it yer the puncture before
much of the wind had escaped, saying:
Lend me your handkerchief"
Young Augustus FitZ James handed
her his bandana.
Deity she wound it around the tire,
over the chewing gum, and tied the
ends in a hard knot on the inside.
Il am ready" she said, and she
mounted her wheel and rode off with
q nonchalant air and a fresh wad of
gum.

YOU CAN'T STOP 'EM.
The Fury of an Unfettered Element Fails
to Crush Them-The Fire Fiend Defied.

to Crush Them-TheF Fire Fiend Defied.
The news comes from Attica, Ind,
of the destruction, by fire, of the big
laboratory and Office building of the
Sterling Remedy company, makers of
Cascarets Candy Cathartic and No-To-
Bac, the toriginal guaranteed tobacco
habit cure. The preparations made by
this big corporation are known
throughout the world.
The fire broke out in one of the
packing rooms on the third floor during
the moor hour, and had made consider
able Roadway before it was discovered.
The Sterling Remedy company is the
principal industry of the beautiful lit
tie city of Attica, employing several
hundred people, besides being affiliated
with the interests at the Indiana Min
eral Springs, the famous Magno-Mud
Cure. The entire population was
worked up to a frenzy of excitement.
Meanwhile the almost proverbial
energy and presence of mind Of "Hust-
ling" Harry Kramer, the general man
ager of The Sterling Remedy company,
was displayed. He was the coolest
man at the scene. He quietly walked
away and secured a big carriage show
roc near by, and had all office furni-
ture, charred and delapidated as it
was, taken there. Several shipments
were made the same evouing from
goods saved, and on Friday morning,
all departments were at work in var
ious rooms about town, while a gang
of men were cleaning away the wreck
age preliminary to rebuilding.
The actual damage amounts to many
thousands of dollars; the loss due to
interruption of business and confusion
of detail is inestimatable, but pluck
and energy of n man will turn de-
feat into victory and 10Y the wheels
of business to ever-increasing speed.
Nothing can stop the success Of Cas-
carets and No-To-Bac with such char
acteristic force behind them.

1t Cured Him.

A military Tory candidate for parli-
ament was addressing a meeting Of
voters in an English village at a by
election which took place toward the
end of 1892. The candidate was known
to be strongly in favor of fiogging in
the army, and this was being used
against him with damaging effect. De-
Tending himself, the orator urged that
no necessary disgrace attached to be-
ing logged. "Why, cried he, 81 was
flogged once, and it was for telling the
truth" "And it cured zee, nav doubt

How to prevent it.

) Every person, male or female, shrinks
from badness. 1t adds to the appearance
of age and is a serious discomfort The
cases are rare when the falling out of the
hair may not be stopped, and a new and
healthy growth OF the hair promoted. The
hair grows in the scalp like a plant in the
soil. If a plant fourishes, it must have
regularly and find its food in the soil
where it Is rooted. It's so with the hair.
Neglect is usually the beginning of bald
ness. Dandruf is allowed to thicken on

iciently nourished, begins to fade and to

some practical preparation which, sup
plying the needed nourishment to the
scalp, will feed the hair, give it strength,
and so produce a strong and healthy
growth. All this is lone by DR.. Ayers

obtained. 1t tones up the scalp, does away
