Nature as an Armorer.

There are few departments Of hui
man life where man has been so en-
tirely anticipated and at the same time
surpassed by the lower animals as in
the invention of armor.
His cunningest devices of the mailed
fist order were none of them original.
If you examine a fine and fully devel-
oped suit of plate armor in the form
which it assumed at its highest zenith
in the fifteenth century, you will find
that the trunk and limbs were COM
pletely inclosed in a splendid fitting.
iointed case of iron plates, all eXQui-
sitely polished. The suit as a whole
was a triumphant product of the ar
morer's art
Yet if you look at a Holsters tail you
will see at a glance that all these clev-
er devices of mans imagining had
been invented and patented long be-
fore by nature and that the elaborate
workmanship of the Plantagenet
craftsmen who cased knight and horse
for the battlefield or the tournament in
glistening metal was but a poor imita-
ton of the ineffable skill with which
the unheeded cruStaceans of the time
protected every vulnerable portion Of
their bodies from the assaults and at
tacks of their submarine enemies

notorious for her ugliness. She wrote:
'From early youth 1 knew how ugly

Man Was on the Track and Did Not
Heed the Whistle.
The old engineer had finished groom
ing his engine for the nights run and
was Willing away the half hour before
train time in swapping yarns with his
fireman. 1t was his turn at a story.
After putting refectively on his pipe
for a moment or two, he said, half
questioningly: 81 don't believe we've
ever run over anybody, Bill, since
you've been in the cab.
But it isn't the running over that
bcares you," he continued, Though that
IS bad enough. It's the coming so all
fired close to it and missing that takes
the tuck out of a man. After you once
ait anything the worst you can do in to
plow right along, but when you see
nan on the track and blow your whistle
and shut off steam and put on brakes
and then the man turns out to be deaf

you know you can't help striking him,
then's the time you wish you were run

Ing better than a mile a minute when
l saw a man walking down the track

tie, but the man never budged from

down and paying no attention to what
was going on. l shut off steam, JAM
med on the brakes and reversed her,

He never stirred until just as the en-
CINE was going to hit him. Then he
jumped out of the way, grinning up at
me and put his fingers to his nose.

the fireman could climb down from the
cab the man was running down the
track for all he was worth-and that
wasn't more than 80 cents. We didn't
have any time to spare, so we hustled
on again, and I've been trying ever
since to decide whether our friend was
drunk or crazy, or had darned pecu-
liar idea of humor. Anyway, 1 wish I'd
had a little more time. I'd like to have

HUNTINGTON, HORSE SELLER.
An Anecdote illustrating the Million
aires Business Method.

aires Business Method.
Anecdotes regarding G. p. Hunting
ton were freely circulated in Wall
of his death had passed away. A sale
of horses to Henry Clews, the banker,
illustrated the magnate's method OF
doing business. Mr.. Clews said to a
friend that he wanted pair of cobs.
''Mr. Huntington has a pair that will
just suit you. I'll tell him to see you,"
said the friend.
The Huntington and Clews offices are
both in the Mills building, the former
on the seventh floor, the latter on the
ground. Mr.. Huntington stopped in the
next morning on his way to his office.
Il understand you want pair of
ponies l have for sale,' he said.
Not that know" was the retort of
the banker. 81 want a team, but
don't care where get it. I'll take yours
if the animals and the price are all
right"
"Oh, that's all right. These ponies
are too small and it's not right to make
them haul me and my wife about-we
are both big and heavy"
Whats your price?"
whats your idea of what you want
to give?'
Eight hundred dollars"
well, my price is $1,5OO-not a cent
less"
Mr.. Clews told him there was no pos
sibility of getting together, and they
parted.
Mr.. Huntington called again the next
morning.
Ready to give $1,000 for those po-
nies? he asked.
mo; I'll give $780, was the response.
Never" exclaimed Mr.. Huntington,
as he went out.
He called at the Clews office every
morning for two weeks to ask about
the horses. On the eighth day he said:
well, I'll take $1,000, but 1 won't
leave the option long at that"
you can close it right now if you
like" was the retort, "for I'll pay $500.
Not cent more"
On the tenth day he exclaimed:
Nov, I'll tell you. Take the ponies
at $1,000 and we'll call it square"
Eight hundred" said Mr.. Clews.
The same was offered on the elev-
enth, twelfth and thirteenth days, re-
lates the New York Mail and Express.
On the fourteenth Gay Mr. Huntington
said:
what is your price for the ponies
;to-day?"
Eight hundred"
''Well, you are the hardest man ever
dealt with" said he, land I'm going to
let you have them on one condition.
You must give $50 to my coachman."
Il don't know your coachman," OBJ
jected Mr.. Clews, land it would be
bribery to give any money to him."
"Well, he ought to have $685." unused
Mr.. Huntington.
Il suppose you pay his wages regu-
larly?" retorted the banker.
Eyes, but he ought to get $25 out Of
this deal"
''Then you give it to him." said Mr..
Clews. "That will leave $775 for the
horses"
With that he gave in, and thus, after
fourteen days of haggling the horses
were sold for $500 less than he started
out to get for them. Mr.. Clews smiled
as he told reporter of the deal, and
added:
HE enjoyed that horse deal as much
as 1 did. The horses proved to be
splendid animals, and 1 drove them for
twelve years."

GREAT VICTORY AT PARIS.
John Weiland Brewery Takes the Prize.

The John Wieland Brewery of San
Francisco, brewers of the well-known
Wieland's extra pale lager, have just
received advice under date of August
%, 1900, from Varney W. Gaskill,
secretary of the California Paris Elk
position commission of 1900, that the
international jury of awards have
awarded them certificate and medal
for the exhibit they made at the Paris
Exposition of their Extra Pale Lager
Beer"
This announcement is one that not
only the brewery, but the State of Cal
ifornia as well, can be justly proud of,
for it gives an international reputa-
ton to the largest brewery west of the
Rocky Mountains and to very popu-
lar California industry.
The award was based on purity and
flavor, and when it is considered that
the John Wieland Brewery was en-
tered in this exposition with compet-
itors of the whole world, Europe as
we'll as America, this success is ex-
tremely gratifying.

That in addressing Mrs. Pinkham
you are communicating with a woman
"a woman whose experience in treat
ing woman's ills is greater thai that
of any living person-male or female.
A woman can talk freely to wo-
man when it is revolving to relate her
private troubles to a man.
Many women suffer in silence and
drift along from bad to worse, know
ing full well that they should have
immediate assistance, but natural
modesty impels them to shrink from
exposing themselves to the questions
and probable examination of even
their family physician. 1t is unneces-
sary. Without money or price you can
consult a woman, whose knowledge
from actual experience is unequaled.
Women suffering from any form of
female weakness are invited to freely
communicate with Mrs. Pinkham at
Lynn, Mass.
All letters are received, opened,
read and answered by women only.
This is positive fact-not a mere
statement. 1t is certified to by the
mayor and postmaster of Lynn and
others whose letters, all in little book,
Mrs. Pinkham has just published.
Write for copy, it is free. Thus
has been established the eternal con-
fidence between Mrs. Pinkham and the
women of America which has never
been broken and has induced more
than 100, 900 sufferers to write her for
advice during the last few months.
Out of the vast volume of experience
which she has to draw from, it is
more than possible that she has gained
the very knowledge that will help
your case. She asks nothing in re-
turn except your goodwill, and her
advice has relieved thousands. Here
are some of the cases we refer to:

ECZEMA IS
ITCH IS TORTURE.

Eczema is caused by an acid hunor in
the blood coming in contact with the
skin and producing great redness and in
hammation little pustular eruptions form
and discharge thin, sticky fluid, which
dries and scales off sometimes the skin is
hard, dry and assured. Eczema in any
form is tormenting, stubborn disease,
and the itching and burning at times are
almost unbearable; the acid burning
humor seems to ooze out and set the skin
on fire. Salves, washes nor other exte--
nal applications do any real good, for
long as the poison remains in the bloc,
it will keep the skin irritated.
