pepsia, consumption and blood poison ing
 The healthiest and most rugged man that ever lived begins 10 feel weak in the small of the back and has a dull pain in his chest before he has listened to a street doctor for ten min utes.
 The doctor begins to describe the early symptoms of a number of deadly ailments and every man in the crowd is compelled to admit, with a chill of horror, that he has experienced these very symptoms, but never before did he realize their terrible significance. One night l stopped on a corner to listen to one of these outdoor physi- clans. He was a tall, dignified man with a long black coat. As he talked of the various diseases to which all human flesh is heir, he made frequent reference to a large chart of the human body showing the most useful internal organs The lungs, the liver, the stom- aeh. the heart, the diaphragm, etc, were represented by stiff flaps of paste board, eolored in a most lifelike man ner. He lifted them one after another as he leetured further and further into the internal economy of man.
 He told of the many diseases which might attack any or all of these i'm pertant organs, and before he finished it became evident that if any of Us were to be spared it would be through a miraculous intervention.
 He said that if a man breathed heavi- ly after taking violent exercise, that was a sure sign that he had chronic heart-disease.
 If he had a feeling of oppression in the stomach region and slight dizzi- ness after eating a hearty meal, then dyspepsia had laid its dread hold on him.
 A pain in the right side was proof positive that the liver had played out.
 A sense of weakness in the lower back region and a constant desire to sit down somewhere and refrain from work were the danger signals indicating that the kidneys were seriously affected.
 I had experienced all of these awful symptoms and about 50 others thaNhe enumerated very rapidly. So it was plain to me that I was topRling on the brink of the grave with the most re- markable complication of diseases that ever happened outside of an almanac.
 In vain tried to shake off the haunt ing fears which this quack doctor had aroused within me.

HIS BUSINESS ABILITY.
As Hanger On Young Mir. Blank Was Gr'++v and Glorious
 Success.

This fair maid will have a handsome dot same time, and 1t is the ambition of her father to have her marry one whose fortune will at least equal her own.
 "I want you 10 stop that young Blank call. mo here. " he remarked, recently, in the au- faeratic way that some fathers have. He has no prospects worth speaking of, there is nothing to show that he has any business aBiIitF.and don't [ want him hanging around here any more.
 What is business ability, papa?'
 Why. you know Everybody knows, of course. Let me see. Why, 1t s the ability to see the main chance, to grab 1t, and hang on till YOU get the money. That's what 1t is, and there's plenty of young men Tn Detroit that have it. Blank lacks 1t Woetully.
 "Oh. he does? I'm afraid, papa, that you're speaking without proper information. He knows that I'll have S100000 some time. That is main chance worth looking after. Nr. Blank saw it. He reached out and grabbed for it. He's hanging on, and he's going to get it. Do you happen to know of any other young man of his age and limited opportunities whose business ability has as- sllred him so handsome a fortune?9
 The old gentleman.s answer sounded sus. piciouslv like smothered profanity, and 1t was fully five minutes before the bewitehing creature could bring the sunshine of smile to his face. Now he tells few confidential friends that young Blank has the making of one of the best business men in the city Detroit Free Press.

wreck. 1 could read my own obituary and l even began to wonder how many of my friends would send flowers.
 Fortunately I did not crowd up with the others and pay dollar for the doctors magic preparation of Indian herbs. It didn't seem to me that it would help very much. A man whose lungs, liver, stomach. bronchial tubes pancreatic glands, heart and yermi- form appendix were entirely broken down and useless could not be entirely repaired by one bottle of anything that was evident.
 I went away under the shadow of the belief that I wouldn't live two weeks longer. But l did.
 In fact. when l began to forget my symptoms I discovered that l was eat. ing three meals a day, putting in the usual hours of work and thriving fairly well for q hopeless invalid.
 That experience was lesson to me Nowadays. when l see a street doctor entertaining q crowd on the corner with stories of what is the matter with themt I cross over to the other side of the street. I am afraid that if l stop and listen l will find out that l ought to be in a hospital. may be a physical wreck but as long as no quack doctor reveals the fact to me, I manage 10 get along and feel frst-rate. l am now sticking to the family physician. When ever I go 10 him for medical advice he gives me slap on the back and tells me I'm all right. This costs two dollars, but it is well worth the money.
 This is a herdemonstration of the fact that talk is not cheap. But man ought to buy good talk, no matter how high it comes.
 The confidence men and the quacks have something new every year. Ne self-respecting confidence man would attempt to sell gold brick these days. The gold-hricll joke has been in the newspapers and the comic Weeklies so long that every man. woman and child in the country knows about the swindle.
 The up-to-date bnnko man is more clever than the gold-briell salesman of 15 years ago, and he manages to keep more within the protection of the law
