Mn. DOOLEY ON THE CHASTIS-
EMENT OF MILES.

Mr.. Dooley is often amusing and not
~infreauently shows himself to be phil
o.opher and statesman. OF course all
know that the creator of MIR. Dooley
and sayings, is Mr.. F. P. Dunno. OF
Chicago. He made a happy discovery
when he became acquainted with MI
DooIey and his talks with Mr.. Hen
messy. The last re port from him we
have seen is concerning the discipline
from the White house"-the awful ad-
ministration of insult and punishment
to General Miles. head of the army. He
told how other disappointed visitors TO
the White House came way with tears
and were all broken up. But it is diff
ferent now as MI. DooleT shows. Hear
him tell of it:
But. Hinnissy. tn p~risint occupant
iv tn White House is a heartier per
son. reproof firm him is tn same thing
as a compound fracture. A Wurrud w
caution will lay a man I'D Fl a week.
an a severe reprimand will sind him
through life with a wooden leg"
After INDUCING some reflections just
here as to Miles. he then accompanies
HIM To the White House and tells of the
entertainment that awaits him:
"As he wint up tn hall. he noticed

ON IT'S OWN MERITS.
The Second Pie Was One That Would
EGO Down" without the
Makers Praise.

A young man who spent his summer vaca-
ton on a. Maine farm says that new in
stances of the thrift and shrewdness OF his
landlady are constantly thrusting them
selves upon his attention, relates Youths
Companion.
One day a wagon load OF unexpected rela-
tives descended on the farm, and the mis-
tress was, as she afterward frankly said,
put to it" to provide enough food for din
ner. She brought forward among other
things an apple pie, which seemed to the
boarder far inferior to the pies she usually
made. But when she served it she spoke OF
hey-reputation as a piemaker.
"They do say at the sociables that no
body's pies quite come up to mine" she re-
marked, with beaming smile; and apple
pies are what you might call my specially:
I've often been asked for the receipt, but l
tell 'em it's knack and judgment does it,
not rule"
The pie disappeared and then, when her
guests were not as hungry as they had been,
she brought forth second pie, faky of
crust and luscious to the taste;
why, Aunt Mary" said the youngest
OF the party, boy of IL, IL think this pie
ever SO much better than the other, and

His aunt looked at him without so much
as a twinkle in her eyes.
"This one will go down without praising,

terposition of humble German.
Chicago, Nov. 10.
Some weeks ago DR.. c., a very reput-
able and wrdely-known physician, living on
c. Street, was called to attend very
complicated case Of Rheumatism. Upon
arriving at the house he found man about
forty years Of age, lying in Frustrated and
serious condition, with his whole. frame
dangerously affected with the painful dis
ease. He prescribed for the patient, but
the man continued to grow worse, and on
Sunday evening he was found to be in a
very alarming condition. The knees and ell
bows and larger joints were greatly in
famed, and could not be moved. 1t was
only with extreme difficulty that the pa.
tient could be turned in bed, with the aid
of three or four persons. The weight OF
the clothing was SO painful that means had
to be adopted to keep it from the patients
body.
The doctor saw that his assistance would
be of no avail, and left the house, the MEM
bers of the family following him to the
door, weeping. Almost Immediately the
grief-stricken ones were addressed by an
humble German. He had heard of the
despair of the family, and now asked them
to try his remedy, and accordingly brought
forth a bottle of st. Jacobs Oil. The poor
wife applied this remedy. The first appli-
cation eased the patient very much; after
few hours they used it again, and, won
der of wonders, the pain vanished entirely!
Every subsequent application improved the
patient, and in two days he was well and
out. When the doctor called a few days
after, he was indeed surprised.
