A QUEER HAIR REsToRER.-"Cen-
trail America is great place for patent
medicines, said an experienced shipper.
"The natives down there seem to have
a natural passion for experimenting
with all kinds of remedies, and the
only thing that I ever knew to fall
fat was lot of corn eradicator that
was sent into a district where every
body went barefoot. I remember i've
or six years ago a consignment got
mixed, and druggist in one OF the
five republics received keg of liver
regulator and crate of empty bottles
for hair tonic. You see they generally
ship the medicine and glassware sepa.
rately, to dodge a clause in the tarln
schedule and some chap running a
store at the other end of the orders.
The druggist was in a quandary at
first; but the labels were very pretty'
so he finally put the liver regulator IN
the hairtonic bottles and notified the
bellies in the neighborhood that ne
had something that would make
their tresses as beautiful as dream.
The regulator had a great run but
the drugman was haunted by the fear al,
that the other chap had palmed on
hair tonic for liver medicine and pols'
oned q whole district.
"He finally turned up, coming north
on a banana boat, and proved to be a
good fellow. He admitted that ne
also received q mixed consignment
and had done exactly like the hrst
man. 1t didn't hurt them q particle,
he declared, and, of the contrary, he
had lot of testimonials certifying to
remarkable cures. It's just as 1 tell
you-Central America is the paradise
of the world for patent medicines.

Darwin and his theories-a task which
he frequently engaged in-when he

r@ The following story may account
for the smallness of some mems gifts
when a collection is taken: A boy,
on starting to church one Sunday, was
given, by his father, nickel and a
twent-five cents piece, and told that
he could put either the one or the
other into the contribution box. On
the boys return he was asked when
coin he had contributed. he there,
upon explained that the preacher had
said that the Lord loveth a cheerful
giver, and added. II knew 1 could
give the nickel good deal more cheer
fully than 1 could give the quarter, so
I threw in the nickel and kept the
quarter" Many men can give nickle
a good deal better than they can a
quarter.

Some of the political enemies ot
William Jennings Bryan are trying to
make political capital out of an alleged
statement Bryan is said to have made
in a letter to J. Sterling Morton, OF
Nebraska, written II years ago, in
which Mr.. Bryan thanked Morton for
his support in an effort to secure an
appointment as secretary of the Ne
braska state board of transportation.
Morton has dug up this letter, which
was addressed to him as friend by
Mr.. Bryan, and he is using it, claiming
that Bryan used this language in speak.

assure you that it is the money that is
in the office, and not the honor that

tits explained by Mr.. Bryan's friends
that at that time he was a young law
yer, just starting on his career and,
like many others at that stage of life,
was sorely pressed for means of max
ing a competency. He sought the
place, which paid salary of $4,000
per year, so as to enable him to make
a living for himself and family, not
having at that time made great pro-
gress in the law. He was the friend OF
j. Sterling Morton, and had Loyalty
supported the latter in his political as

frankly that he needed the salary Of

At Mr.. John M. Hinson's gin on Fri
day afternoon last, Rabb Blackmon
met with serious accident. His cloth
ing was caught and he was jerked to
the saws with the result that one
of his arms was sawed entirely off, and
his face, shoulder and breast were
badly sawed up. The saws going
through the ribs of his right breast
only lacked about one-fourth of an inch
of penetrating his lungs. The dismem-
bered arm was taken into the gin and
had to be cut out by Rabb's brother.
Rabb walked to Mr.. Hinson's house
after the accident, and exhibited the
stub of his arm and his other injuries.
Drs. Halle and Twitty were sum-
moned and did what they could for
the unfortunate man. He is doing

The Democratic Jonah.

From New York Journal
$50 they took up Jonah, and cast
him forth into the sea; and the sea
ceased from raging.-Jonah l., 15.l
1t was hard on Jonah, but justifi-
able, under the circumstances. And
the example of Jonah's shipmates
contains a lesson for modern naviga-
tors in similar straits.
The Democratic party, for instance,
is navigating stormy sea. The ship
is stanch and we'll found, and the
crew is loyal, but the elements seem
adverse. Nobody knows what may
happen next. There are rocks and
breakers ahead, and navigation in a
bowling gale is precarious.
There is a Jonah on board the
Democratic ship, and there is reason
to believe that if he were thrown
overheard the sea would cease her
raging" He is called Small Ameri-
canism. If there were no possibility
of identifying the Democracy with
the policy of opposition TO national
growth the outlook foIC Democratic
success next year would be exceed
ingly bright.

TO tunnel under Fast river.


Albany, May 12.-Governor Roose-
' cit yesterday signed the Atlantic ave-
nue. tunnel bill, which will give the
Long Island railroad entrance to Man
haitian Island. The bill gives to the
municipal assembly the power to grant
a tunnel franchise for a term of 50
years, with the option of renewal for
another 25 years after a revaluation.
The tunnel will cost in the neighbor-
hood of S6,000,O00, and will require
about two and half years to build.
The only expense to the city will be
about S1,20O,000, OF half the cost of
depressing the tracks on Atlantic ave-
nue. between Eidridge and Flatbush
avenues. The tunnel under East river
will consist of two tabular conduits,
thoroughly ventilated and lighted by
electricity.
