CANCELLED HIS vow.
How the sYaIIer" Wbiskered Man
Was Induced TO Take
Hand at Poker.

NO, gentlemen" replied the man

was asked TO take a hand in a game
Of poker, Il beg you to excuse me.
I'm not against eard-playing on prin.
ciple, but five years ago l made q
vow never to play again."
For your mothers sake?" queried
the glue factory traveller, relates the
Denver News.
"oh, no. My mother died many
years age. was on a train one dav.
and we made up a game Of poker.
There were five of us, and | had
never had suca luck in my life. One

row strip of high mountain, and not
worth cent. 1t was an old mining

II will tell you. After holding
that land for three years | sold it
to a Chicago stone syndicate, and
men were put 10 work quarryinp

and not only ten workmen lost their
lives, but party Of % emigrants we're

was thus indirectly responsible for the
death of 3j of my fellow creatures.
Had not won that land it would not
have been sold for qIarry."
"Yes, we see" said the glue man.
"The other fellow would probably
have used it for a toboggan slide?"
II believe that was his plan, SIR"
And if he had, the slide might have
busted some day and so people beer
hurled into eternity"
DO you think it possible?"
Not only possible, but extremely
probable. Yes, a hundred people nigh, |
have been involved in the awful dis |

the lives of about so people, and are
entitled to great credit"
DO you really assure me?"

Catarrh has already become a na-

ocean TO ocean.
More than one-half Of the people are
affected by It. II has become such a
serious matter that il has passed the
boundaries Of the medical profession
and become a national question Sen

They are not only considering the
extent and chronic nature Of the dis
ease, but the possibility Of finding ma.

THE GOLDEN RULE.

The Golden Rule is worldwide and is
variously voiced as follows:
DO as you would be done by.-Per-
sian.
DO not that to q neighbor which you
would take i'll from him.-Grecian.
What you would not wish done to
yourself do not unto others.-Chinese.
One should seek for others the happi-
ness one desires for oneself.-Buddhist
He sought for others the good he de-
sired for himself. Let him pass on
Egyptian.
All things whatsoever We would that
men should do to you. do We even SO to
them.-Christian.
Let none of you treat his brother in
n way he himself would dislike to be
d.-MOhammedan.
The true rule in business is to guard
and DO by the things of others as they
do by their own.-Hindoo.
The law imprinted on the hearts of
all men is to love the members of So
ciety as themSelves.-Roman.
Whatsoever you do not wish your
neighbor to do to you do not unto him.
This is the whole law. The rest is n
mere exposition of it.-Jewish.

The TOUCH DOES IT

Benson's Plasters are like your other
friends-they hate to see you in pain or
in weakness and are dog-tired hearing you
complain about it. They want to cure you
and send you along to your business-whole
and happy. They can do it and ,oiU do it.
Try them on. What for2 Why for any
cough or cold you may be troubled with, or
any bothering pain or ache, or worry with
kidneys or liver. Possibly some old clutch
of muscular rheumatism renders an arm or
a leg worth only half price just now. For
anything that makes the machine work slow
and stiff, with pain maybe in the motion of
it, clapa Benson's Porous Plaster squarely on
the bad spot. They are the get-Ottt- t0-aorro,o
plasters-not the sort that go to sleep on
your skin like cat on cushion. There
is comfort and speedy relief in the touch of
them. No other external remedy, no mat
ter how made or how called, is worthy
to live in the same street with Ben
sons Plasters. Pains and ailments melt
away under them as a sheet of ice does I'M
der the Spring sun. You cannot foretell
the weather but you can always foretell
the effect of Benson's Plasters; it is as
sure as the effect of hot breakfast in
hungry mans stomach. But look out for
substitutes, Get the genuine. All drug
gists, or we will prepay postage on any
number ordered in the United States on
receipt of 25c. each.

The scorpion,s Wonderful Ear.

have studied the habits Of the scor-
pion for many years and have often
noticed how very sensitive scorpions
are to the most delicate sound, musical
or otherwise. Under the thorax the
scorpion has two comblike append
ages, which are the antennn pect-
nate). 1t is pretty well settled by
PSYCHOLOGISTS and entomologists that in
insects the antennR represent the Or
gans Of hearing. These delicate struc-
lures are easily affected by the vibra-
lions of sound. and there can be no
doubt whatever that they are also at
fected by sounds quite inaudible to the
human ear.
The slightest vibration Of the atmos-
phere from any cause whatever at once
puts in motion the delicate structures
which compose the antenna, to which
organs insects owe the power Of pro-
tecting themselves against danger as
well as the means Of recognizing the
approach of one another.-London

what excuse he had for not serving, he
replied:

that the jury is the sole Judge Of the
facts and the court Of the law-that
the juror should only weigh the facts
as presented by the evidence, not TAX

all lawyers are exempt from jury

81 am afraid that I cannot excuse
you If you are not a lawyer" said the
court, smiling.
But" continued the young man,
with great earnestness, the color
mounting to his temples, Il am sure If
your honor knew as much law as l do
your conscience would not allow you to
serve on jury"
After the bench and bar had recov-
cred from this naive outburst the
Judge told the young man that If it
was a matter which affected his con-
science so deeply he would excuse him.
