Do You Eat Ont or Inf

The number and variety of knives
and forks that now grace we'll equip
ped and formal dinner table may well
diSmay one unused to such variegat-
ed display of cutlery and silver. There
are forks for the oysters, for the fish
and for the roast and forks as well for
anything else that may be served.
There are also knives to correspond to
the forks that may be needed. These
implements that social convention de-
crees TO be necessary to convey food to
the mouth are usually laid out in for
midabIe rows on either side of the
plate.
The other evening n simple western
maiden at her first eastern dinner sur
veyed her supply of knives and forks
with growing trepidation. Her COM
mon sense told her that they were laid
out in the regular order in which it
was intended that they should be used
but nothing in her experience had
taught her which was the right end of
the row to start in with. Finally, in
despair. she sought help from her next
door neighbor, a prominent physician.
''Say, doc" she questioned anxiously
as she pointed at the offending objects,
do you eat out or in?'-New York

Wanted to Warn Him.

Sir Algernon West tells this story in
his "Recollections:" One day the late
Sir George Campbell, who had a very
strident, loud, rasping voice, called on
Sir Algernon, who was then secretary
to Mr.. Gladstone, to talk over the land
question.
After he had been in conversation
about three minutes the office keeper
appeared, bearing the card of an NJ. P
who, he said, was very anxious to see
Sir Algernon. The latter said he was
sorry to be engaged. In another min
ute he appeared with the card of a we'll
known peer who was most DESTROYS to
have a word with him. Again the lat
ter said he was too busy to see him
just then. In another minute the man
again came in with huge card saying
the lord mayor and sheriffs of London
wanted to speak to Sir Algernon West
very urgently in the next room.
Sir AlgernOn apologiZed to Sir George
and went out to such great dignitaries.
When he got out of the room, the office
keeper startled him by saying, ''There
amt nobody here, sir, but 1 was afraid
a mailman had been shown in to you
by mistake, and l wanted to warn you,
SIR

While Mr.. Gladstone interested his
audiences immensely by his endless
flow of animated remarks and brilliant
historical criticisms. he failed altogeth-
er to convey to them the sense of great
ness. Every one left his society pleas
ed, amused. perhaps delighted. But l
cannot imagine anybody quitting it I'M
pressed with reverence. There was in
deed a levity sometimes observable
about him which was very antagonis-
tic to reverence.
Dr. Martineau himself told me how
disappointed he was when, meeting
him after his great return to power,
he said to him, What an opportunity
you have for the great work before
you-the consolidation of the empirev'
Mr.. Gladstone shrugged his shoulders
and said: "Oh, don't know about that.
The clerks in the colonial office have
got too much to do lready."-Contem-

Sawdust Graduates.

Most of the circus acrObatS and not q
few of the rough and tumble come
dams of the stage who have graduated
from the ring were reared and learned
the rudiments of their business in the
lumber towns of the northwest. In the
business these are known as "saw-
dust towns" on account of the saw
mills, which are their chief industry.
There are many of these in Wisconsin
and Michigan and several in Iowa that
have turned out the bulk of the aero
bats and tumblers in the business.
In the .'sawdust towns the small
boys have exceptional facilities for
learning to turn somersaults and hand
springs in the great beds of Sawdust
that surround the mills. Soon they be-
gin to try the more difficult featS they
see done in the shows that visit the
towns. After school hours they tum-
bic until it is time to go home and do
the Chores From out of them all
there generally rise two or three boys
who get the knack of the acrobatic
feats, and these work in constant RI
valry, each trying to excel the other.
One day along comes a circus, and
the best boy tumbler applies for job
and shows what he can do. Perhaps
he is given a chance as top mount
err or the top man in a pyramid act,
because he is light and active. When
he gets older, heavier and stronger,
he may become an "understander,' or
the man who holds a mountain of men
on his shoulders. And thus he gets
to the show usiness.-Exchange.

A Spree on Sixpence.

An excellent Scotchman had for 81
years brought home his full wages
every week, says the Newcastle CEng-
lanO Chronicle. Once at the end of the
period he gave his wife sixpence less
than the full amount. This so distress
ed the thrifty woman that she went to
consult the meenister on the subject
He tried to comfort her by saying that
sixpence in 81 years was not a large
amount.
Its ma the money am thinking off,
she replied, but am fearing that Mac
has been taking to drink and betting,
maybe, and other worldly pleasures"

Sheridau,a Wit.

Richard Brinsley Sheridan was one
day dining with Lord Thurlow when
his lordship produced some fine Con-
stantia which had been sent him from
the Cape of Good Hope. Sheridan,
who saw the bottle emptied with un-
common regret, set his wits to work
to get another.
Failing in his attempt, however he
turned toward gentleman seated
farther down and said, ''Sir, pass me
up that decanter, for l must return to
Madeira since l cannot double the
Cape."-San Francisco Argonaut.

Plan For a Miners Hospital.

The government of the United States
has donated so, 600 acres of land to a
miners hospital to be located in New
Mexico and the next session of the
territorial legislature will select the
location for it and dispose of the land
for fund for It's erection. The Albu-
querque Citizen is making pull for
the hospital to be located at Bland,
giving for reasons that 1t should
be lOcated there that the
location of Bland is central and would
be convenient to the miners of the whole
territory, that the people of Bland
have maintained q local hospital at q
heavy expense the past year and would
do every thing possible to estab lish the
territorial hospital, and being near the
Jemez Spring and the trout streams,
the hospital If located at Bland, could
be made famous health resort.

That Drouth in Arizona.

"Speaking of the drouth in Ariz-
ons", said q citizen of Ell Paso who has
been in the mining districts of that
territory on business with the mine
owners" know there was an awful
drought there few weeks ago ard
though the rainy season may be on now
it won do any good for the poor cattle
that died by the hundreds before it
came. While driving through the
country 1 have seen COWS lying dead
with new born calves standing by their
sides starving to death. 1 have
seen cattle go into q Doggy place
where there was q little water and
stand there and drink until they be-
came mired In the mud and bad to be
removed; some we're not found in time
to be taken out and died there. Isaw
twenty-one stuck up at q time and they
we're SO poor that If they stood edge
ways to you you could not see them
that is, they were that way before they
drank the water but the water swelled
them up so that they were horrible
looking sights. The rainy season
seems to have been later in the dry
countries this year and the delay has
caused much suffering and loss.''

Dear Friends-I suffered more or less
all the time for ten years with rheuma-
tism. trying many remedies, but failing to
perfect permanent cure. So expected
to live the balance of my days in pain.
But I began taking Graybeard. not ex-
pecting to be cured OF rheumatism, but
hope to be cured Of letter on hands and
neck. And when had only taken 8 bottles
all my rheumatism was gone. That was
nearly year ago and have not had a
pain from that cause since. The letter on
my neck and ears disappeared, my gener-
al health has been better, and 1 weigh 20
pounds more than did before taking it,
No doubt Graybenrd will do all that is
claimed for it.

CURIOUS RESTING PLACES,
which Perch on the Backs
of Their Fellows

Prof Charles Frederick Holder, in the
New York Tribune.
Any one who has crossed the Atlantic
or Pacific cannot have failed to notice
tho land birds which seek shelter and
rest upon the vessel often hundreds of
miles from shore. Sometimes il is an
eagle that alights on the truck or yard
arm; again a troop of delicate sparrows,
or even a humming bridal so weary
ana exhausted that they have lost all
fear and almost seem to court the friend
ship of human beings.
fisherman on the Maine coast who
daily sailed out ten miles from shore said
that he frequently was visited by shore
birds, which alighted on his dory and
made themselves perfectly at home Such
birds. and those which visit the steamers
our at sea, have been blown from their
course during the season of migration.
Thus in the, fall and spring long lines Of
migrating birds extend up and down the
coast. The majority ny at night. high IN

mountain range; and II caught in n gale

bearings, become confused and nv on.

hausted.
When ships and boats are not available
birds will alight upon almost any object
i have seen a gull standing on the back
of a sleeping loggerhead turtle in the
Gulf of Mexico. apparently much at
home; and the huge basking shark, which
Is often seen floating on the surface, its
brown back exposed has been observed
almost covered with sea birds, which un-
doubtedIy thought shark a log or
piece OF wreckage, discovering their mis-
take suddenly when the shark rolled over
or sang beneath the waves.
The much Suffering Pelican.
The laughing gulls OF the Gulf OF Mex
leo and Southern California waters have
a singular fancy for roosting upon the
back of the brown pelican, which I have
often observed But this Is not always TO
rest, as the gull reaches out when the peli-
can secures a sardine and often snatches
1t. Sometimes the gull roosts upon tn.
round head OF the pelican, it's wings held
aloft in the effort to preserve Its balance
A singular feature OF this Intrusion and
impertinence on the part of the gull is
that the pelican never resents tat least
not In the scores OF instances observed by
me, 20 far as appearances went being
aware that II was being trampled rpon
by the inquisitive, laughing gull, which
when II had secured It's fish by the most
barefaced methods, went flying away

You Get Strong.

Everybody who takes Graybeard tells us
they get stronger. They eat more and it
does not make them sick. This is the Sc
cret of the curative powers of Graybeard.
The first thing 1t does Is to make you go
TO eating. You will eat more than you
have eaten In months. and you will find 1t
will not hurt you as it used to when you
ate heartily BY making you eat 1t makes
you stronger. 1t makes you stronger as
the new blood and bone and tissue begin
to become part and parcel of you, and if
you are affiicted with eczema you will find
ID gradually disappear. The same way with
rheumatism, catarrh, dyspepsia, cancer,
In short. Graybeard makes you stronger
than your disease and brushes out your
disease.

the cash drawer robbed and several arti-

night the store of c. G. Lewis & Bro. was

change left from Saturdays safes. When
Mr.. G. G. Lewis opened the store and
discovered the burglary he began TO in

boy. which led him to suspect Arthur
Robinson, a negro boy II years old Ac-
companied by Deputy Sheriff Slade, he
went to the home OF the boy, where they

fessed the burglaries, duplicating JEFF
