away. In train accident it has been
supposed for years that ION seeing dan
ger the engineer whistled down
brakes reversed the lever and jumped
off" But now comes an iconoclast who

has not for many years. What he does
do is to "shut off steam, apply the air
brakes, open the sand box, and jump.
If he is afraid to jump he is either killed
or becomes hero.

supposed to be incurable. For great many
years doctors pronounced it local disease,

pronounced it :ucurable. Science has proven
catarrh to be a constitutional disease, and
therefore requires constitutional treatment.

A HUSTLING HOST.
Ho Had n Little Scheme for Making

1t was an apparently innocent little din.
ner invitation which drew a number Of
California street heavyweights to the
handsome home of a capitalist on Pacific
avenue, who IS no longer popular in the
Pacific Union club After the dinner,
which was elaborately planned, perfectly
served and thoroughly appreciated, the
host led the way to the billiard room, where
he produced for the inspection of his friends
a new roulette wheel which he had just pur-
chased.
After it had been examined and duly ad.
mired monsieur proposed that his friends
tempt fortune with it, announcing that he
would be banker, and smlipgly invited
them to break him" The guests scarcely
expected this sort of diversion, but they
hardly could decline the Entertainment
which had been provided for them. Hav-
ing carelessly undertaken to call the turn
on the black or the red, they expected to
lose tritie to their host, but they did not
anticipate any such financial catastrophe
as 20 overlook each of the, players.
The bank won steadily. Soon all the
player guests were BROKE" but the host
offered, in an off-hand way, to stake one
and all, guarding against loss of the
frequent loans, however by taking the
checks of his friends. For the purpose, with
admirable forethought, he had provided
himself with blank checks on every bank in
town.
There was no escape for his victims. They
were all thoroughly trapped and well
scorched before they We're released. The
guests caught the first car home in the morn
ing, the urbane host, with unparalleled gen
erosity, presenting each guest with nickel
to pay his fare.-San Francisco News Letter.
