CROkER'S CIGARS.
How Senator Prevented the Dis
covery of The Real Donor.

AT the Hoffman House they are talk.
ing of a scandal in Richard Crokers
Democratic club. II appears that
shortly after the elevation of one OF
the jurists of Tammany Hall to a
seat in one of the minor Courts this
gentleman thought it would be a kind
and delicate thing to do to supply
Richard Croker a sufficient number Of
cigars for his daily consumption
Therefore, whenever opportunity Of
fered, he slipped a handful of perfec
tOs into the pocket of the Democratic
leader and said nothing about it. Mr.
Croker, of course, was very much sur
prised when he put his hand in his
pocket to find lot of cigars, but the
story runs that he was never able to
catch the man who put them there
When Mr.. Croker became a daily
visitor at the Democratic Club and it
was his custom to take off his over.
coat and hang it on certain peg
every night he found a pocket of the
coat full of cigars when he put it on.
According to the story an eminent
State Senator discovered this strange
custom. So one evening, while await
ing the arrival of his chieftain, he no
ticed on which hook the coat was
hung. He took it off, hung it on an
other hook, and substituted his own
coat with the result that the jurist
was fooled and the Senator got the
cigars. But that would not have been
so bad had it not happened on this
particular night The Democratic
chieftain was anxious to discover who
it was who kept him supplied with so
fine a brand of cigars. For the pur-
pose of ascertaining, some of his
friends made note of the absentees
each night. Of course, if a man was
not there he could not have put the
cigars in the coat

this particular night but two mem

Killed BY Ants.

An exchange tells of man in Aus
tralia who was killed by ants. Such
an occurrence is said not to be very I'M
common in that country. 1t is describ-
ed as more dreadful than the horrors
devised by the most ingenious of the
Grand Inquisitors.
The man was a prospector, and while
digging in the side of a hill was in
jured by fall of earth. AS he lay
partly covered and unable to move he
was attacked by nest of ants, and for
more than an hour millions of the vor-
acious insects simply fed upon him.
He died shortly after being rescued.
There is case on record of Ballar-
at woodcarter who was found under
his overturned dray, suffering fearful
torments. He had been attacked by
ants, and would certainly have sue
cumbed had it not been for his dog.
The animal, cattle dog, only discover
ed what was wrong after several hours,
and then, by persistently scratching at
the stream of ants on the ground. and
licking them from his masters face,
and arms, kept him comparatively free
till help arrived.

young children do not appear to derive
much benefit from their food. They
remain extremely thin, weak, do not in
crease in weight or height. They seem
to have some disease which is actually
wasting the body away. Their system
calls for food, and yet the food does
not nourish them. But food they must
have. They also need some remedy
which will alter or change the action
of the organs of the body to healthy
activity. There arc remedies which
naturally exist in cod-liver oil that
are capable OF making this change.
For this reason they are called "alter-
Atives." The hypophosphites are also
of service, as they strengthen tho
nervous system, which is the great
seat OF power. The poorly nournished
