 The correct change was given him, but in the manipulations that followed, wherein he asked for a ten-dollar bill in exchange for five dollars in silver which belonged to him and five dollars in cur rency which belonged to the proprietor of the store, the clerk agreed to make him the required change. but when the latter got possession of the money he immediately asked his brother to call up the police.
 The stranger argued for a minute on a suggested compromise, which being intellectual, he darted out of the door and has not been seen since. The drug store is. five dollars to the good and has had the benefit of the experience.

AN ACCOMPLISHED PARROT.
Cuban Bird in an Indiana Town Has Vocabulary of Three
 Hundred Words.

D. c. Pence, conductor on the Gas City interurban line for nearly eight years, has pet parrot which came into his possession a few months ago. She came from Cuba, and is bird of unusual beauty. MT. and Mrs. Pence at once undertook to teach the bird to talk and Polly now has a abulary of over 300 words, says Gas City dis patch in the Indianapolis News.
 When Polly sneezes she at once in forms the household that "Polly's caught &cold." When the shades of night come on. the parrot makes it known that she is tired and wants to go to bed.
 The birds chief accomplishment is her ability to hear and talk over the telephone. Mr. Pence says that when ever the bell rings Polly shouts Hello with as much clearness as an an experienced operator.
 When Mrs. Pence holds the bird to the telephone when her husband is talking at the other end of the line, the bird recognizes Fences voice, and cries:
 Hello, kid; come home to dinner!"
 The parrot has the freedom of the Pence house, and goes from room to room at will. When Polly is scolded, she retires to her perch and there assumes an air of injured innocence.

 Hapless Everyman next calls for Kindred and Cousin, and in come, with all speed ill response to the command of the rich and prosperous man. They. too, make protestations. but when they learn of Everyman's sore need they run with much haste from such trouble as his. Then Ev- eryman thinks of Riches, the one he has loved best of all all his life; surely he will stay by him. But Riches is too busy counting his gold, too absorbed in his glittering treas ures, to give heed to Everyman's ag- onized pleading. And he not only re- fuses to give him aid, but ne moclls him, laughs at him, and tells how the love of Riches only helps q man on his way to Hell.

TENDENCY OF THE TIMEs

The tendency of medical science is toward preventive measures The best thought of the world is being giv en to the subject. It is easier and better to prevent than to cure. It has been fully demonstrated that pneu- monia, one of the most dangerous dis eases that medical men have to con tend with, can be prevented by the use Of Chamberlain's Cough Remedy. Pneumonia always results from a cold or from an attack of influenza (grip), and it has been observed that this rem edy counteracts any tendency of these diseases toward pneumonia. This has been fully proven in many thousands of cases in which this remedy has been used during the great prevalence of colds and grip in recent years, and can be relied upon with implicit conf dence. Pneumonia often results from a slight cold when no danger is apprehended until it is suddenly dis covered that there is fever and difi- culty ill breathing and pains in the chest. then it is announced that the patient has pneumonia. Be on the safn side and take Chamborlain's Cough Remedy as soon as the cold is contracted. It always cures For sale by all druggists.

WATCH SMALL AS A NICKEL,
Triumph Scored by American W0M V. men in ProducinE the Tiny
 Timepiece.

The smallest watch yet turned out. in this country has just been put on the market, although few are on sale yet. The new watch is the size of fve-cent piece, says a Chicago report.
 The smallest watch which American watch factories had hitherto succeed- ed in making had been as big as quar- ter, so the new watch is looked upon as marking a distinct advance in the in- dustry in this country, where watches have only been made for a little more than half century. Watchmakers also regard it as indicating that the time is not far distant when Ameri- cans will soon overtake the old worlds watchmakers, the Swiss, in turning out watches of minute size.
 The Swiss still make watch small CT than the Americans, but the watch just put on the market here by both the Waltham and the Elgin coppa- nies, the two largest watchmaking concerns in this country, will have the advantage over the Swiss watches that all the other watches made here have possessed, namely, that of being luIASu out II quaHtity.f onAS M Ns ican methods the daily output in one factory is 2,5o0 a day.
 The new watch is the result of months of patient endea&br by the watchmakers and machinists. For every new sized watch designed new machines have to be made, and as the size of the watch is reduced, by so much more must these machines be made more delicate.

 l pray you all give your. audynce, And hear this mater with reverence,
 By fygure a morall play:
 The somonynge of Everyman, called
 it is,
 That of our 1yves and endynge
 shewes,
 How transytory we be all dave:
 As he ceases, the scene before us is suddenly frightened, and we hear q Voice speaking, inexpressibly sad and solemn. It is the voice of God. call ing His Mighty Messenger Death to appear and summon Everyman to give his account, make his reckoning.
 Into view glides, or shuffies, gris- ly figure, clad in grisly gray, the de- sign of skull painted upon his face. Tn even, relentless tones It, Dethe, promises to seek out Everyman.
 In contrast to the dreadful form, now appears. heralded by the gay re- frain of drinking song, a beautiful, blooming youth, decked out in all the pride and po1np of life, a musical instrument in his hand, from which he lightly, carelessly, gayly, brings forth melody. Death speaks to him, and this blooming youngster laughs and needs not. but would pass on. Again Death calls, and the youth listens now He is told that this day God will ask of him his reckoning A chill creeps over Everyman; he begs for little more time, a little period in which to set right his Book of Reckoning: but Death afirms there is to be no delay, advises that with all haste he make ready. Death then withdraws, advising Evervman to seek out his friends and see what help they will now prove to him. The stricken Everyman sinks upon the steps of raised platform (that on which yawns the open gravel, and mourns his sudden fate. Presently, 1 however. hope springs up, and he be- thinks him of calling for help. To whom shall he turn? Why, to Good Fellowship, of course, and so he asks for him. In comes sprightly, bright garbed Good Fellowship, who swears he is the most faithful, closest friend Everyman has. and VOWS he will fol- l low wherever the former may lead. 1 Poor Everyman tells of the long Journey he is to take, and from

He was cowboy of the old sort and he was weather-beaten, but my, how tough he was, and even now at the age of AZ, how capable and ready either for rough riding or heavy drinking!
 This man, says the Denver Post, was Robert Leffingwell, of San Ant onio, if the Brown hotel register told the truth, and it's veracity could hardly be doubted, as Mr. Leftingwell made the entry himself. He was very quiet while being assigned to a room, and beyond pulling at his crimpled gray mustache a bit he made no motion till he had been duly quartered in a high up but comfortab be room.

THE BOOSTERS KNOCKED"
An Optimistic Chicago OrEa nixation ThNt Found Ont It Was Useless
 and Disbanded.

Is it better to knock or to boost? The oft-discussed subject has been called up again by the demise of an orzaniza- tion whose purpose was set forth in it's name, '.The Booster club" The Boost CT club was to boost, it's motto was Every knock is a boost" That motto is now torn from the walls of the room the boosters occupied, and in it's stead some member of the Press club, which has annexed the booster room, has scrawled on the wall in pencil:
 Knock, and the world knocks with
 you,
 Boost, and you boost alone"
 The Booster club was society of optimism, says the Chicago Tribune. It was devoted to discovering the good that may be i'll our fellow man. The boosters spoke no ill, thought no evil, decried no honest endeavor. It boost ed. 1t boosted all day long and oft times far into the night. 1t was the beginning of a new cult. One booster went farther than this. He said it was the commencement of new re- ligion.
 The Booster club is no more. Two or three members the, othernight arose and made addresses as to the advis- ability of keeping the clubrooms open and of continuing the active organiza- tion of the club. The burden of their plaints. was: Whats the use?" After these speeches had been delivered a member with white face arose and in hushed whispers said: Gentlemen, do you know what you are doing? We are boosters, and yet, gentlemen, you have been knocking. More than that, you have committed the crime of crimes, You have knocked the Booster club. This takes from us all that we have claimed. We must disband." And it was so ordered

 Everyman's flesh is tender, his life has not had in it much of pain. and he shrinks as Knowledge comes to di- vest him of his soft apparel and make him ready for the cruel scourage. But Good Decides and knowledge both sustain him, and he takes the scour- age in his naked hand.

 than to-day it is hard to say, but surely the wickedness at that time, when the king was able to make way with spouse after spouse, by murder if it seemed to him best, was somewhat more fragrant. And those grim morality plays were writ ten and played to people that were supposed to need sharp reminders of life's short day, rather than conso- lation and comfort.
 As we enter the theatre, we see an interior very unlike the usual playhouse interior. The curtain is raised from the beginning, the scene left unchanged. There is nc, orches- tra, but the solemn music of viols and organ greets our ears. Before us on the stage is shown the chancel of cathedral, and for the most part the people in the audience comport themselves as though indeed they were in holy church.

 ''I was down to Lehi. That's little place that had just sprung up. l was with a small Bar-Tee-Cross outfit roundin' up. But we put in Sunday there and there was some sort of young mems prayer meetin' and, we bein' camped so clost, we went toit.
 Well, kind of set there and let 'em talk and pray and go on, but didn't t take much interest. 1 was pretty dry and knowed I had q jug of good flicker up at the camp, and wanted to git at it. One of the loudest of, these here young whoopers come around and be- gin to talk religion to me. told him that was all right, but it wasn't my game told him that what hankered for more'n anything else was about three inches of old rye.

He said that he didn't see nothing wrong in taking lick CT in moderation for the stomach's sake, and when l got up to go to camp he said he'd like to go along with me and talk me up lot more if l didn't mind

 Well, sir, don't know how much we drunk that night, me and him, for l couldn't say exactly how much was in l the jug at the start.
