grandmothers never thought Of
using anything else for indigestion

scarce and seldom heard Of appen.

Flower to clean out the system and

lily hone in Warren county. Her brother
was called Beau" after BrImmen, wacse
style he initiated. and his life resemhled
in many points that OF Beau Brummell.
Hickman, after splendid and brilliant
appearance in society, found himself with
out money, and from that time he be-
came one of the most famous dead
beats ever known. But he still obtained
means to live; in fact one of his sayings
was, let the dull work; l live by my
wits" remarkable instance of his in
genuity occurred while Hickman was in
New York city. After spending several
weeks at a fashionable hotel there, the
proprietor one day asked Hickman to set
tie his bill. In answer to Hickmans eX
cuses the prop ietor said, mo, it must be
settled at once Asking if there were wit
nesses present, Beau said, with fearful
eyes, Would you take the last cent
man has?' Yes, sir" said the proprie-
tor. Il call you to witness, gentlemen"
said Beau, and reaching into his pocket
he produced one cent. That's my last
cent" said he. please give me my bill
receipted." The proprietor saw the joke
and laughed with the rest, but said 10
Hickman: IF you will 90 on er to the AS

prietor, III give you so"
Why" replied Beau, he gave me 500
