Speaking Of w. n. c'Coin'D Harvey,
a Chicago man said:
'An amusing incident took place
while Harvey was editor Of Coin, pa
per which he published In Chicago.
Harvey, In talking to one of his part
ners, took exception to the want OF
punctuation in the paper. There isn't
enough punctuation he complained,
and Coin doesn't look right without 1T.
There ought to be comma once In so
often, then so often colon, and all
the rest. Don't you think so?' he wound
up appealingly.
ct do, indeed heartily replied the
partner, who was not wholly devoid of
humor. That's a great idea of yours,
Harvey. If l were you,' he suggested,
I'D draw up rule to that effect
Harvey thought it over, and the
thought commended itself. The next
day, therefore, a rule reading some
what as follows was posted in the Of
fee of Coin: Hereafter 1t is the rule of

a FaiIure Tn Cooperinx.

A certain man who was once a
prominent Kentucky politician was
more demagogue than statesman.
He was, according to Short Stories, in
the habit of boasting that his father
was a cooper in an obscure town In
the state-that he was lone of the
people" and didn't belong to the "kid
gloved aristocracy."
The generals" great failing being
his fondness for liquor, it will surprise
no one to be told that the more he drank
the more loudly he detained his
political sentiments and the prouder
of being the son of cooper he became.
During political campaign, where his
opponent was the southern orator. Tom
Marshall, he had been unusually noisy
and offensive in his boasting regarding
his obscure origin. In replying, Mar
shall said, looking hard at the general:

father may have been very good
cooper. / don't deny that; but do say,
gentlemen, that he put a mighty poor
head into that whisky barrel"

"Why are gentlemen requested not to

WHAT'S IN A NAME
(BsnsonS Plaster Is Pains Master

In the days of wild cat money in the
West, the Ames shovels were used as cur
rency. They were as stable as gold; their
price did not vary cent in twenty years.
The very name of Oliver Ames & Son, was
a synonym for honesty. 1t was current all
over the world.
On the same principle Benson's Porous
Plaster is the universal standard external
remedy. To say it is 'tgood" plaster does
not describe it it is the best possible plaster.
For every disease in which an external rem
edy is available, Benson's Plaster is used
almost as a matter of course.
Benson's Plaster quickly relieves and
cures where other modes of treatment are
either exasperatingly slow or have no good
effect whatever. Coughs, colds. lumbago,
kidney trouble, rheumatism, lame back,
etc., are at once benefited and soon cured
Capsicum, Strengthening and Belladonna
pIasters have none of the curative virtues
of Benson's. More than 5000 physicians
and druggists have commended Benson's
Plaster as a remedy in which the public
may have implicit confidence; while, in 8
comparative test with other plasters, Ben
sons has received .Jtty.tiOe highest aaoG1ds.

When Mr.. Gallup sat down for the
evening, he had his newspaper on his
knee and Mrs. Gallup was singing
"Rock of Ages" and clearing away the
supper table. He had been reading for
a quarter Of an hour when she quietly
entered and sat down and said:
Samuel, don't want to disturb you
nor make you feel bad, but feel obiig-
ed to ask you few questions. Last
night at midnight Mrs. Watkins saw a
light moving around In our back yard.
1t was a light which bobbed up and
bobbed down and lodged this way and
that, and when it finally went out it
gave q great wink and a splutter. 1t
was what they call ghost lantern,
Samuel, and it meant that there would
be death In this house within week.
It'll be my death, of course. I've got
81 different ailments, with heart dis
ease throwed in, while you are as
healthy as a cornfield. Yes; it'll be me,
but I'm not weepin over it. I'm sittin
right here as calm as catnip, but l
want to know some few things"
Mr.. Gallup must have known OF her
presence, but he was too deeply inter-
ested in his paper to recognize 1t. He
had found an article which said that a
bedbug could be boiled in water for
four hours and then come out with his
ambition undaunted.

voice broke little. 81 orter go there.

The disgruntled man, the man who is

everywhere. Even at the sea side where
he has gone for rest and recreation
you'll find him surly and sulky, grum-
bling at the weather, the people, the
hotel accommodations, the board, and
everything else. His scowling, sullen
yisape checks the flow of talk at the
table, and bushes the prattle of playing
children. Now and again one gossip
saws to another vThe old chaps liver

SAYS, vPerhaps he's suffering from kid

the opinion that it's ~just dyspepsia"
