ON THE VERGE OF SUCCESS
The Easy steward and the Auda-
cious "Grnfter."

The Easy steward and the Auda-
cious "Grafter."
\ man walked into one of the up
town college clubs one morning and sat
down in the smoking room. His air of
assurance was hardly in accord with
his tattered clothes. 1t was early, and
mono of the members was about. He
rang the bell, and the steward re-
spouded.
1T seems good to get back into the
club again." he remarked
Yes, sir said the steward
Il used to be a member here but I've
had hard luck and can't afford it any
longer
Yes, sir; I'm sorry, sir" said the
steward
"Ry the way, I'm little short OF car
fare this morning." said the nervy
stranger. Gould YOU let me have ten
cents until call here AGAIN.
The surprised steward reached into
his pocket and handed out dime.
THANK you." said the man. Now,
I'm also little hungry having had no
breakfast. Do you suppose you could
gather me up little luncheon
The steward was stupehed by such Il
display of nerve.
and little whisky with a dash of
bltters would not 40 badly with the
food
The steward fled as one of the menu
bers entered. The stranger saw the
new arrival and rose hastily.
81 am too early for my friend" he
said as he walked toward the door.
II will return later" Then he added
in an undertone. which the doorboy
heard: TOO bad. too bad, That stew
ard was easy. He'd given me the club
II I'd asked for 1t. Its wonder those
members wouldn't stay away" The
man of nerve walked down the street
with his head bowed In deep thought.
How to get that luncheon without
paying FOR it, was his theme-New

THE WOMAN WHO TAINTED.
A Lesson on Courtesy In n Crowded
London Theater.

LOnuOn IneHter.
Here Is an example of the courtesy
and good feeling Of the twentieth cen
fury. How are we to account for it!
The worst Of it Is that In such a case
the innocentsuffer for the guilty. When
woman does really faint, there will
be some hesitation before she receives
u seat, consolation and brandy.
In an overcrowded pit Of one Of the
London theaters the other night lady,
who was standing, suddenly became
very faint, and another lady sitting
near kindly offered her her seat Not
only this, but, seeing that she did not
recover quickly. she went and fetched
some restoratiYes from the refreshment
room, whereupon the lady quickly re-
covered and began TO thoroughly enter
into the spirit of the play, apparently
quite obliyious of her benefactress.
As time went on she was asked by
her benefactress II she would object to
her sitting down again. But the other
would none of II. Now / have seat
mean to keep IT, she replied Where
upon her benefactress gently reminded
her that she had paid for her seat and
thought that she had every right to re
turn to It. But no amount of talking
would apparently move the former.
\ gentleman sitting near, having
watched the episode, leaned forward
and said, DO you intend to give up
your seat" No" was the reply. Up
lie sprang and gently lifted her out of
1t. An onlooker said to a lady next 10
her, q like that man" Thank you,
was the reply; "he Is my husband"
There seems to be no limit to the re
sources used by some people to secure
what they have not paid for. The lady
was no more faint than any one else ia
the audlence-London Free Lance.

The grip has surprised the doc
tors and health authorities this season
by its rapid spread and by some novel
symptoms. While it spares nobody
it is proving especially dangerous to
middle-aged and elderly persons. In
many cases either fatal onset of
pneumonia, or complete breakdown
of health and strength, is apt to fol-
low an attack of grip.
The wire course for all is proven
ton. BY wearing a Benson's Porous
Plaster on the chest and back you
protect the lungs from cold and chill
and with ordinary care) You are
safe from grip.
For those who are already suffer-
ing from grip, or4rom the usual win
ter coughsand colds, Beason's Plasters
are sure and speedy relief and cure.
Highly medicinal and scientific.
Refuse limitations and substitutes.

WAYCROSS NEWS NOTES.
The Fake Doctor and His Assistants
Have Been Arrested.

Waycross, Ca, Aug. 20.-The fake
doctor and his gang of black-face
comedians have at last come to grief.
They have been working the towns in
this section in great shape. Their
scheme was to strike a place, adver-
tise a grand free exhibition and then
fleece the lambs in the most approved
style. The doctor would give the crowd
a great spiel about his wonderful
remedies, after the people had listened
a while to a few worm-eaten chestnuts.
He would extol the merits of the great
est corn salve on earth, and close by
saying:
Now, gentlemen, 1 know there are
hundreds of you who would willingly
give dollar to have your corns cured,
and this salve is we'll worth dollar
a box, but am going to sell it to you
for only rs cents
After selling a dozen boxes he would
return the quarters to the purchasers.
Then he sold one dozen bottles of med
icine for so cents each, also returning
the purchase money. By this time the
crowd would be in a good humor, ready
to bite at anything. Then the greatest
ood-purifier ever produced by medi-
cal science would be brought up. 1t

worth of salt, and was known as
