WILLIE MILLER TO BECOME A PARTNER cN THE
 1sT OF JANUARY
AN ERA OF PROSPERITY.
History of q Rising Young Grocery Firm of Brilliant
 Promise.

On Monday, January 2d, 1898, Mr. Joe c. Meyer will take in Mir. Willie Miller as partner in the grocery business. The style of the firm in the future will be Joe c. Meyer & Co. and they will occupy the present stand at No. Ill Main st eeta
 The career of this young grocery firm has been rapid ard brilliant. It was established two years ago by Mr. Joe c. Meyer, who is probably the youngest grocer in the State. He had served long apprentice ship in the grocery business in this city, knew the wants If his trade, and his establishment at once leaped into popular favor, which has increased from day to day with promise of larger circle of patrons in the future.
 Joe c. Meyer & Co. carry one Of the prettiest and most select stock of fgroeeries h the State. Their e.- tablishment is neat and clean throughout and elegant in appor- tionment. h addition to large stock of all kinds of staple aud fancy groceries, the firm does a general bakery bushes They have some of the largest and finest ovens in the State, in charge of experienced bakers, and everything baked ia their establishment Is first ciaes. The bakery h connection is of im- mense advantage to. their sloye and it's patrons. For instance, if you purchase liam at this e5ta6lisb- ment they will bakeit ip ore of their ovens free Of charge 10 the custom CT. This is also true of other goods kept in their line, and this service is of great convenience to their GUS toners.
 Mr. Willie Miller, the new mem Der of the firm, is also young IT an but an experienced salesman, and his admission into co-partnership is evidence that the house viii remain under the same progressive manage. ment that has characterized it's past successful career.
 The Graphic conqratulates Mr Meyer upon his success, achieved individually, and we extend our best wlsnes to theF new firm for a prosperous New Ye IT. The public will find these young men worthy and deserving of patronage, and we commend Joe c. Meyer X Co.,, to all buyers and consumers of groceries or bakery products.

A Topeka man who recently toured
Mexico tells that they have some very
curious criminal laws down there. For
example, the statutes make 1t twice as
much Of an offense to mutilate the face
Of woman as that Of man. While In
the City of Mexico he attended court
one day and saw q man sentenced to
one year in prison for cutting his para
mour across the face with knife. n
his victim had been man the e'sentence
would not have been more than four
months at the outside. The law seems
to be based on the idea that womau's
best possession is her beauty, and that
to mar 1t does her great injury. There
Is another curious law. If person
should be wounded in an encounter the
punishment to the offender is fixed by
the number Of days his victim has to
stay In the hospital or under doctors
care. A line is fixed at 40 days in the
way Of a general division. II the in
jured man occupies more than 40 days
in his recovery the penalty doubles up.
AS we understand the Topeka man
these are not court customs, but statu-
tory enactments.

There is more Catarrh IN this sec
tion of the country than all other
diseases put together and until the
last few years was supposed to be
incurable. For a great many years
doctors pronounced it local disease
and prescribed local remedies, and
by constantly falling to cure with
local treatment, pronounced it in.
durable, Science has proved catarrh
to be constitutional disease, and
therefore requires constitutional
treatment. Halls Catarrh Cure,
manufactured by +. j. Cheney Il
Co., Toledo, Ohio, is the only con-
stitutional cure , the market. 1t is
taken internally in doses from 10
drops to a teaspounful. 1t acts di
recily on the blood and mucous
surfaces of the system. They offer
one hundred dollars for any case it
fails to cure. Send for circulars and
testimonials. Address,

Jams.

In making Jams, fruit should be care
fully cleaned and thoroughly bruised.
as mashing before cooking prevents 1t
from becoming hard; boil Is or 20
minutes before adding sugar, rs flavor
Of fruit is thus better preserved (usual-
ly allowing three-quarters pound OF
sugar to pound Of fruit. and then boil
one-half hour longer. Jams require al
most constant stirring, as slightest de-
gree. .of burning ruins the flavor. Try
q little on O plate, and let cool. II no
juice gathers, and 1t looks dry and
glistening, it is done thoroughly. Keep
jellies and jam in cool, dry and dark
place.-Boston Globe.

Betsy Refused to Be Left.

A certain American railroad Presi-
dent has a pet cat, who travels about in
his private car with him. Many pa
irons of the line of which he is the
head have noticed Betsy curled up in
a window, or soberly washing her face
on the rear platform. About two years
ago the private car of President Can
niff stopped one cold winter night in the
Union depot of Fort Wayne, Ind. While
the President was in the city attending
to some business G. Berrell Taylor, the
porter Of his private car, was standing
on the steps taking in a bit of fresh
air. He says he saw coming about the
homeliest cat that he ever looked at
She was all bones and corners without
an ounce of meat that would tell how
the joints were moved. The tabby
yowled in such distressing tones that
the porter fed her, and vows she ate as
much as a man. Betsy was then in
vited to leave, but insisted on staying,
and finally had to be dropped over
board by a strong grip on the nape of
the neck. The train at that time was
making good headway out of the city,
and all expected that tabby was being
left far behind. This proved that they
had not counted on what sort of stuff
there was under all those bones, that
had been the most conspicuous part Of
the animal
When the train got out to West Fort
Wayne one of the brakemen called Mr..
Taylor's attention to a homely bit of
hair and bones on the truck of the car.
An examination proved that it was
Betsy. If there had been any doubt
in the mind of the porter before, it was
dispelled now, and Betsy was at once
put utdownas belonging to the hobo class.
She was thrown off into an ash heap on
the side of the road as the train start
ed, and this time all were sure that
Betsy had missed her train. There was
another surprise for them at Knox.

highness holding down a berth on the
bumpers and covered with snow from
head to foot. She again submitted to
being tossed further than ever off into
the siding, and seemed to feel than this
was to be a part of her life hereafter.
The rumbling of the carwheels was no
sooner heard on the start away. how
ever, before Betsy was back on the
bumpers again as big as life, and there
she stayed until the train reached
Stoney Island. 40 miles away.
The next morning when President
Canniff got out to commence the days
business he was introduced to the new
occupant of his car, who at that time
was putting on a little bit of avoirdu-
pois on her very lean sides by means of
some choice bits of veal which had been
selected from the scraps of the culin-
ary department of the train on which
they had been travelling all night. Few

private car on the fly, and still fewer
have the record of riding lao miles on
the bumpers of a flying express train on
a cold winter night. If this is true,
it is also equally true that few cats
have performed feats which have rec
commended them so strongly to the good
graces of the officials of a private car
that they are given a warm and good
berth on board the finest coach in the
land for the remainder of their nine
lives. Milwaukee Wisconsin
