was in her house? OF course not. Why,
Bars. Simpkins, it wasn't week ago
that was grieving over news of your
DEATH
"Who said 1 was deadY
81 was told so by one of your former
eoarders. He said you had had
stroke Of apoplexy and that you had
heen buried for almost two months.
Abe very day he gave me the news 1
was on my way to your house with a
rneck in my pocket. There was a bal
rnce Of $1S due you when I left. Dear
rne, but what surprise this is. and
how heartily glad am that you are
still on earth and looking as handsome
ss ever!"
''It is no use to lie to me, Major Gro
FOOT" grimly replied Mrs. Simpkins.
You cut sticks from my house owing
me $1S. I'm here for my money. I'll
either have it or pull the last hair out
OF your head Save your breath and
hand over"
my dear woman, it pains me to
hear you talk that way" plaintively
announced the major. 81 remember a
thousand acts of kindness on your
part, and 1 only wish my indebted
ness was $1,000. Why do you speak
OF me in such harsh terms? If my
debt to you is unpaid, 1t is because
l heard that you had died and left no
heirs. Only this morning as was per-
fecting my plans for the incorporation
of the G. A. H. r. company 1 thought
of you and wished you were alive"
Soft soap won't do, major. l must
have that money, and won't stir a
step without it."
Just a minute, my dear woman.
Had you rather have $1s than $25o, 600
No. of course not. The G. A. H. r.
company is the Great American Hair
Restorer company, limited with cash
capital of $4,000. 600. Its object is to
restore hair to bald heads. You may
doubt that it can be done, but let me
dispel your doubts. 1t is a simple but
powerful discovery. During the last
three months have operated on 5000
bald heads, and in NO instance has it
failed to produce q luxuriant growth
of hair
"You will need a barrel Of it in about
three minutes" said Mrs. Simpkins as
she glanced at the majors hair.
'It is estimated, my dear woman"
he went en-, with the same bland smile
on his face, that the population of the
world contains 81, S95, 240 bald heads
and that 100000 a year are being
added to this number. Our restorer is
put up in quart bottles at 81 per bottle.
Every baldhead will buy, and the sales
for the first ten years will be 6,OOO.-
900 bottles a year. The clear profit
IS $1.75 on a bottle, or q matter of $1O,-
100000. After ten years the sales will
be only about 100000 bottles year,
but that means over $4,000, 600 profit.
AZ my dear old landlady'-
"Stop right therep' she exclaimed az
she rose up.
CAS- nay dear old landlady, who had
every confidence in my financial integ-
rity when l was hard up and who
used to bring me up little lunches of
chicken and jam after the other board
ers had gone to bed, 1 shall offer you
the secretaryship Of the new company.
The salary will be $4,000 per year,
and you will be voted block of stock
valued at 500, 900. The dividends on
this stock
Three minutes more and then 1 be-
gin businessp cut in Mrs. Simpkins.
The dividends won't be less than
$50 per cent for the first ten years.

Having heard runners that the har-

Grand Secretary and said:

E"Caramba! Thou wouldst make out

'There is hardly enough to feed your

"Say you so3 Then must our loyal

''It can be proclaimed, o ruler, but

Truly that is the CASE" unused the
Caliph, "and, being the law, must be
obeyed. And, being that it is better to
sacrifice one wise man than four Asses,
let this fellow be taken out and made
head shorter"
The Caliph having announced that
on certain day he would give audi

and straighten out affairs to every
body's satisfaction, there came before
him Sarsina the corn merchant and
Tabor the scribe, and Sarsina made
his obeisance and began:

CONNECTS TREATED CRUELTY.
Siberian Prisoners Refuse Food Until
Treated More Humanely.

Ts#.LsE-- .EFEE#r sEErTTT .FEE- #F&WSsGEE.E.
Victoria. B. c.. Nov. 2S.-From the
Siberian convict settlement at AIexan-
drovsk news is received that the con
victs have gone on strike, refusing all
nourishment until they are more hui
namely treated. A Shanghai paper,
the Free Press, gives some horrible
details of the treatment of those un-
fortunates, who are mostly educated
men, sentenced for political ~offenses.
The paper says, on the authority Of
a recent arrival from Siberia, that
they are loaded with chains, herded in
dark, unsanitary cells and not taken
out into the open air for weeks at a
time. Infectious diseases have broken
out among them, but the sick have not
been removed, being left to suffer in
the overcrowded prison. The result is
that others have been contaminated.
Even the corpses of those who sue
cumbed are left to rot among the liv-
ing. The wardens treat all convicts,
healthy and sick alike, with incredible
brutality.
The conVicts carried out the strike
r%esolutely. On the third day many lost
consciousness from fasting, but no
sufferings induced them to accept food.
The condition of convicts in the settle
ment Of Koktschetavsk is still worse.
Desperate revolts there have been
quelled only after much bloodshed.

Chicago Spectators Sell Stock at a
Loss of $50 Per Share.
Chicago, Nov. 2S.-Because Of the
long delay in the beef packers merger
and the belief that the deal cannot be

were figuring up during the day what
have been the losses of small people
who bought near the top. 165, and were
compelled to sell at some point on the
downward slide to 116, a difference of
about $50 a share. For the entire 1885,
600 shares in Swift & Co., the only one
of the big Three" companies incor.
porated, the slump has meant a differ.
ence of S. 900 in value.
7 figure the actual losses by the
slump at $1,000, 000," said a broker who
has handled a large part of the orders
In Swift & Co. stock. This is distinct
from the paper losses" of several
times $1,000, 900. Being paper, they do
not bother the wealthy holders OF
stock whose incomes are not affected
The broker based his calculations
of $1,000 900 actual loss upon the total
number of Swift & Co. shares handled
in Chicago since the high mark was
reached 20 .f.&.. ~
