An old army surgeon who was fond OF
a joke, if not perpetrated at his own ex-
penSe, was one day at a mess when

"Why, he spells it cat" replied the
wag with the utmost gravity, amid the

How often on returning home late on
lreary winters night has our sympathy
zone out 10 the poor Old night Waterman
is he sat huddled up over his cage hre'
overlooking the excavations which our
City Council in their wisdom, or otherwise,
lllow the different water companies to
make SO frequently in our congested
streets. In all weathers, and under AL Gil
matte conditions, the poor old night watch
nan is obliged to keep watch over the
companies property, and to see that the
red lights are kept burning What lite,
20 be sure; what privations and hardshps;
they have aches and pains, which nothing
but st. Jacobs Oil can alleviate.
"Old Joe" is in the employ of the Lam
beth Water Works, and is we'll and favour
blv known. He has been a night watch
man for many years, in the course OF
which he has undergone many eXpe-
riences. What with wet and cold, he con-
tracted rheumatism and scatica, which fair
" doubled him up, and it began to look
serious matter for old Joe whether he
would much longer be able to perform his
duties, on which his good wife and himself
depended for a livelihood but as it hap
pened a passer-by, who had for some
nights noticed Old Joe's painful condition,
presented him with bottle of st. Jacobs
Oil, and tod him to use it. Old Joe
followed the ADVICE given; he crawled
home the next morning and babe his wife
rub his aching back with the st. Jacobs
Oil "a gentleman gave him." and undoubt-
edly his wife did rub, for when Old Joe
went on duty at night he met his friend
and benefactor, to whom he remarked:
"Them oils you gave me, Guv'nor, did
give me doing; they wuz like pins and
needles for a time, but look at me now"
and Old Joe began to run and jump about
like young colt. All pain, stiffness and
soreness had gone; he had been telling
everybody he met what st. Jacobs Oh
had done for him. Old Joe says now he
has but one ambition in life, and that is
to always to be able to keep bottle OF
St. Jacobs Oil by him, for he says there is
noting like it in the world.
st. Jacobs Oil serves the rich and the
poor, high and low, the same way. 1t has
conquered pain for fifty years, and it will
do the same to the end of time. 1t has no
equal, consequently no competitor; it has
many cheap limitations, bat simple facts
like the above tell an honest tale with
which nothing on earth can compete.

Counterfeitins.

Chicago, Nov. 13.--"I never thought

was safe--he was no careful"
Pale and fearful, Mrs. Walter L.
Grafton stood by last night and
watched two detectives uncover evil
dence that her husband was a counter
feiter. Not till they found bar after
bar Of metal hidden In trunk did she
say a word. AS the detectives ended
their search she exclaimed: II have a
son in Dayton, Ohio. This will kill
him"
Grafton and his wife occupied rooms
at 18th st. and Michigan ave. His s'ar-
rest was due to the sharpness of a
newsboy to whom Grafton gave coun-
terfeit money in buying papers.
According tc the story, the told the
police it was his desire to own home
that induced him to make bad money.
At one time, he said, he owned livery
barn in Dayton. He lost 1t and came
to Chicago to start anew. He secured
Job in the Pullman Car shops and
his wife also worked. but the money
came in too slowly. Then he took up
the counterfeiting.

Of Mrs. J. Pierpont
Morgan
And Mrs. Morgan VIII Try to
Save His Life.

Milwaukee. Wis, Nov. 13--Louis
Gardner, of Milwaukee, whose mother
lives at 1O1 Seventh ST.. will undergo
an operation in London, England, next
week at the expense Of Mrs. J. Pier
pont Morgan. The operation is to he
performed to relieve an injury to his
spine, which he received from a fall
while assisting in horizontal bar act
in the Empire theatre, in London
about year ago. Mrs. Morgan's in
terest in the young man is explained
by the fact that young Gardner about
two years ago, stopped a runaway.
thus probably saving the life Of Mrs.
Morgan's youngest son.
In New York one day, while Gard
ner was strolling along Broadway, a
team of horses came dashing down
the street, with a carriage containing
little boy not more than six years
old. Gardner ran out into the street
as the runaway came by and, grab
bling at the reins, caught firm hold
and in less than a block he had
brought the team to a standstill. One
of the first to arrive upon the scene
was Mrs. j. Pierpont Morgan, whose
carriage it was. When Mario and
Durham left for Europe he went with
them, and was appearing at the En-
pire theatre in London, when he slip
ped from the grasp Of Durham one
night and fell upon his head. The en-
tire upper part of his body was par
alyzed. Mrs. Morgan took the first
steamer for London and ordered the
young man taken to private apart
ments. After a year under the care of
physicians he began to recover from
the paralysis. Now it is proposed that
he shall undergo an operation.
