he ase it ravenously, gathering up eveh the crumbs.
 Policeman GankIe, of the West One Hundred and Twenty-six street sta- tion telephoned for a patrol wagon. It was % minutes in coming In the mean while the entire neighborhood became interested in the unfortunate, who was obviously starving. A saloonkeeper ran out with a glass of beer and some sandwiches. The starving man snatched the beer from his hand, spill ing some oft on the sidewalk. He drank the contents of the glass, with single gulp and tried to lick up what had been spilled upon the sidewalk, The sand wiches he tore to pieces and devoured like hungry dog. Other neighbors brought him food, When the patrol wagon arrived he gathered up all the morsels that remained and took them with him as he was lifted from the sidewalk.
 At the police station his condition was seen to be critical. An ambulance was promtly summoned from the Har- lem hospital. The-ambulance surgeon, after a slight examination, said the man had had nothing to eat for days, and that he wou1dpr obab1y die.

 Tn the first opening of Oklahoma to settlers i'm 1880, the editor of this pa per was among the many seekers af- ter fortune who made the big race one fine day in April. During his travel ing about and afterwards his camping upon his claim, he encountered much bad water, which, together with the severe heat, gave him very8 severe diarrhoea which it seemed almost inn possible to check, and along in June the case became so bad he expected to die. One day one of his neighbors brought him one small bottle of Cham berlain's Colic, Cholera and DIarrhoea Remedy as a last hope. A big dose was given him while he was rolling about on the ground in great agony. and in few minutes the dose was re- peated. The good effect of the medi- cine was soon noticed and within an hour the patient was taking his first sound sleep for fortnight. That one little bottle worked a complete cure, and he cannot help but feel grateful The season, for bowel disorders being at hand suggests this item. For sale by all druggists.

SHE DID IT HERSELF.
But Later the Amateur Contortion-
 ist Couldn't Undo It.
Old Doctor Had to He Called to Re- A 1ieve Miss Greenough from am Undigniied and yncomfor-
 table Position.

Pretty Laura Greenough, of Roches- ter, is visiting her cousin Nellie, of Elm wood, in Buffalo. Young MT. Finlay, of Cleveland, and his sister, Minnie, are likewise visiting there.
 The circus exhibited at Buffalo few days ago. Young Mir. Finlay took the girls to see the show. In discussing the performance afterward, the young man expressed his amazement at the feats of female contortionist.
 He was particularly amazed, says the New York Sun, at the highly accom- plished manner in which she twisted her foot around the back of her neck and made a cushion rest for her head out of her heel. The warmth with which he expressed his admiration for this act of the lady contortionist seemed to nettle pretty Miss Green ough little, and she turned up her nose and said:
 "Pshaw! That isn't anything to brag about! I can do it myself!"
 Cousin Nellie and Miss Finlay screamed and assured Miss Laura that she was perfectly awful; and young Mir. .Finlay laughed at her and pooh- poohed. But her Flour City sporting blood was up, and she turned to MT. Finlay and said, in decided tones:
 'I'll just bet you the price of 8 box of kid gloves can do it!"
 Young MT. Finlay promptly took the bet. Then the delicate question as to how Miss Greenough's ability to per- form the acrobatic feat could be proved to the satisfaction of the young gentleman came up. It was finally de cided that Cousin Nellie should be present as referee for Miss Greenough while the act was on, and that young MT. Finlay's sister should also be there in the interest of her brother.
 The three girls retired to Miss Green, ough's room and young MT. Finlay waited on the piazza for an official re, l port of the result of the feat. Spasmod- l ic bursts of nairth from the room

EATS FROM SIDEWALK.
5tarving Man Falls to the Ground in New York and Ravenously De-
 yours Stray Crumbs.

A middle-aged man, so emaciated that he was little more than a living skeleton, fell to the ground at One Hundred and Twenty-fourth street and Fifth avenue, New York, the other night and began crawling on hands and knees. His mind was wandering and he called incoherently for food and water.
 It was about nine o'clock and the street was thronged with stylish dressed men and women. Many passed by, believeing he was intoxicated. One woman, hearing his piteous means. stopped, leaned over and spoke to him.
 "Water! water!" said the man.
 The woman caught sight of a police- man and called him to the sufferer.
 ''He isn't drunk" she said. Do something for him quickly"
 At sight of the policeman crowd gathered. A little child came running up with slice of buttered bread in her hand. It was given to the stranger and
