BOUGHT MAGIC N

Florida Negroes Seeking 1nvieibfrity
Realized that They We're Seen.
"For a good many years." said q
Florida man, who was up this way
recently, 1--WE have been familiar in the
far South with the schemes which de-
signing negroes with the money-mak-
ing instinct have been working upon.
their ignorant fellows to coax the coin
from their clothes. I'd hate to- q
how many thousands Of dollars the
more ignorant negroes of Florida alone
give up every year for concoctiens,
manufactured out Of nothing worth
while by the crafty negroes, for whit
ening their SKINS Then there are the
multitudinous lotions or ointments or
whatever you call them on sale by
foxy negroes down u way for taking
the kink out of woody hair on negroes
heads. Colored women, especitlly the
younger ones, fall victims to this kind
Of stuff for all Of their spare change,
and there are plenty Of young black
bloods who eagerly give up IS and even
SO for fake c~ontraptions that are al
legged to be designed to make their
noses aquiline instead Of fat.
But an ancient black schemer was
put away down in Florida not long
ago for springing and successfully
working an entirely. new one. The
foxy old darby made literally thou
sands of dollars out Of his dodge be-
fore he was nailed. He passed the
word around among the ignorant me-
gro men that he had a CONSIGNMENT Of
charms, in the shape Of small pieces of
bone, that would come pretty near
making their purchasers bosses Of ev-
erything in sight. The owner ond
wearer of one of his bone charms. no
announced, would be rendered COM
pletely invisible to human eyes. Well.
you can readily imagine how a charm
ike that would take down in a co,1n-
try where yeller-legged chickens are
th1cker'n bees, and where waterme,-
n just pop out of the soil out of
their own volition. The ignorant blacks
fell to those little bone charms all in
a bunch, and they dug up from IS to
SIS apiece for the things at that.
'They absolutely and implicitly be-
lieved that the wearing Of the charms
would render them invisible. and for
months the darkies down our wav
provided with these charms have been
attempting to help themselves to ali
sorts Of things that didn't belong Is

Railway Company's Logic.

A woman In Belgium whose husband
had lost his life in a railway accident
received from the company 10000
francs by way Of compensation Short
" after she heard Of q traveller who
had lost a leg and had been paid 10000
francs. The widow at once put on her
bonnet and shawl and went to the Of
fee Of the company.
Gentlemen, how Is this p she asked.
1You give 10000 francs for a leg and
you allowed ME only 1O,oo0 francs for
the loss Of my husband"
Madam" was the reply, according
to the New York Mail and Express.
the reason is plain. Twenty thousand
francs won't provide him with a lee.
but for 10000 francs you can get a hus-

A NEW ALCOHOL DANGER
TO WOMEN AND CHILDREN
A WARNING ABOUT PAT
ENT MEDICINES

In the manufacture of well known.
patent medicine $50 barrels of alcohol
are used weekly. The bottles contain7
ing this so-called medicine hold little
less than a pint. If the mixture was
made up of one-half alcohol, it would
renire 16S,UJ0 bottles a week to dis
pose of this weekly consumption of al
cohol. These are facts which make it
easy to understand to what proportion
alcohol is used to produce an intoxicating
compound sold under false pretence as
medicine
Dangerous as such preparation is
to the health and morals of the people,
it is made many times more so by the
addition of nerve-deadening and poisoh-
Gus drugs-narcetics and opiates-used
because they produce an immediate eff
feet, regardless OF. the fact that they are
injurious in the extreme.
Preparations of this kind find their
way into homes where temperance Is
preached, and where intemperance is
looked upon with horror. 1t is not diff
cult to understand how under these cir
cumstances home influence and wise
teaching is undermined, and the appetite
for alcohol and strong drink created,
Then, too, the opium, morphine, cocaine
and other opiates fused in these prepara-
tions because they temporarily paralyze
the functions of the nerves.. destroy the

sible for creating the deadly drug habit,
which has enslaved as mental and physi-
cal wrecks, thousands Of unfertunates.
Nearly all patent medicines and so-
called cough cures depend for their effect
upon some form Of these drugs. That is
one reason why doctors are opposed to
patent medicines. 1t is<a good reason,
too, when victims of the deadly drug
habit are crowding the sanitariums and
insane asylums<

called Immediate relief remedies, stim-

No festive 'turk"--or next to none, for
