George Schaub, well known
German citizen of New Lebanon.
Ohio, is a constant reader of the
Dayton Volkszeitung. He knows
that this paper aims to advertise
only the best in it's columns, and
when he saw Chamberlain's Pain
Balm advertised therein for lame
back, he did not hesitate in buying
a bottle Of it for his wife, who for
eight weeks had suffered with the
most terrible pains in her back and
could get no relief. He says:
CATER using the Pain Balm for a
few days my wife said to me, Il
feel as though born anew and be-
fore using the entire contents Of
the bottle the unbearable pains had
entirely vanished and she could
again take up her household
duties - He was very thankful
and hopes that all suffering likewise
will hear of her wonderful recovery.

WERE TOO INITIATIVE.
MEXICAN PoLITENEsS THAT PUz-
ZLED PARTY OF AMERICANS.
Good Story Told on Col. Wetmore of
St. Louis-His Unfortunate Predioa-
mont at q Reception Given by Prssi-
dent Diax At HIS Palace.

Former Governor William J. Stone
or Gum Shoe BILL as he is familiarly
styled In Missouri. and Col William C.
Wetmore are great friends and never
weary of telling or playing jokes on
each other. The following is one at
the expense OF Col. Wetmore which
the former governor is fond of relat-
ing:
About two years ago party of gen
tlemen from st. Louis, among whom
were the ex-governor and the colonel,
were in the City of Mexico. President
Dlaz, who is very partial to Americans,
invited them to call at the palace one
afternoon and meet some of the Mexi
can dignitaries. All the st. Louisans
wore frock coats with the single excep
tion of Col Wetmore, who, despite the
protest of Gov. Stone, insisted on wear
ing dress suit. While dressing the
colonel's suspenders broke, but he tied
them up with a string, and they pro-
ceeded to the palace in the best of
spirits.
Arriving there they were lined up
on one side of the room. and the gov
ernment officials marched by in single
file and shook hands with them. Hard
ly had this performance begun when
the string gave way and the colonel,
who is very portly. was in imminent
danger of being left in a deplorable
situation. With a look of agony he
grasped the waistband of his trousers
with his left hand, pulled them up as
high as he could. drew his waistcoat
down over his hand and extended his
right to the Mexicans. The people of
Mexico are noted for their politeness.
Noticing the peculiar attitude of the
colonel, the Mexicans thought that it
was an American custom, and placing
their left hands upon their waistcoats,
they extended the other to the visi-
tors. The St. Louisans did not know
what to make Of this at first but final
ly concluded that it was the Mexican
style of handshake, and wishing to
conform as far as possible to all the
customs of the country, they, too,
thrust their left hands under their
waistcoats.
AS soon as the ceremony was over
and they got outside of the palace,
Col. Wetmore gave vent to his feelings
in language which was more express
sive than elegant at what he thought
was the impudence of the Mexicans.
81 never heard of such an outrage,
he said while l was standing there
shaking hands my galluses broke again
and l had to put my hand under my
vest and hold them up as best l could
to keep them from falling off entirely,
and. do you know, every one of those
impudent rascals did the same thing.
A perfect roar of laughter burst sim
ultaneously from the other members
of the party, says the New York Times
Explanations followed, and the COVER

digging Potatoes In Bonts.

For the flrrt time In the history OF
the great potato country, the vege.
tables were yesterday dug In small
skiiYs and will TO day be taken from the
fields 10 small row borts The country
lining the Mississippi between Granite
City and the mouth Of Wood river. jast
opposite the mouth OF the Missouri, is
said to be the finest potato field In the
world. One man remarked few days
ago that no could raise more potatOe In
tho corners OF his fences than some Of
the farmersin the higher grounds could
raise on their acres. Tho lands are
good for many other crops, but on &C.
count OF their fertility the farmers can
make more out of an acre Of the potatoes
than other crops, and they never fail to
plant the potatoes, even though they
believe that they will lose them by the
high water. The present yoar was no
exception. Hundreds Of acres Of tho
unprotected lands were planted In po.
tatocs, and. according TO the prediction
Of tho knowing ones, the high water
came. These lands were overhowed
and the farmers stood by for a time and
awaited the destruction Of the crop.
Some OF them secured skiiYs yesterday
and decided 10 70 out into the fields and
dig the potatoes from the ground,
although they were compelled to follow
the rows by the aid Of tho grappling
hook. Many bushels Of potatoes taken
from beneath the water will be sent To
this market. The potatoes have not
been damaged in the least, as the water
has not lain upon them for more than
an hour at most. The potatoes have
been piled In some places where 1t will
require tho aid Of u skin TO bring them
to tho high lands. ST. Louis Globe
