SCOTCH BROKER MADE
RELIGION PROFITABLE

LONDON, Feb. lS.-Advertising by
members of the stock exchange is pro-
hibited, and the exchange now spends
about $4,000 a year to prevent the
practice. Apropos of the embargo on
advertising good story is told of A
Scotch broker, who, in order to bring
his house to the front, combined re-
lgion and business proftably. Many
of his customers were women, and on
Sunday when acting as usher in his
kirk he was always sure, in handing the
ladies to their pews, to provide each
with copy of the hymn book, sup
piled by himself. Inside the book,
little frontispiece, a mere card, bore
the brokers' name and address with
the significant information: Foreign
stock and share broker"

A BOTTLE Of TROUBLE

the streets in thing like the band
chariot of a travelling circus"
ut is necessary" said Fakrash
Must 1 again recall to thee the pen
atty of disobedience?"
ooh. very WELL" said Horace, ir-
ritably. "If you insist on my making
a fool of myself. I suppose 1 must.
But where am TO drive, and why?"
THAT" replied Fakrash, thou
shalt discover at the fitting moment"
And so. amid the shouts of the spec
tators. Ventimore climbed up into the
strengthening vehicle, while the
Jinnee took his seat by his side.
Horace said no more, though he
could not but think that this parade
would be thrown away.
They turned into Victoria street
and seemed to be heading straight for
the abbey.
How they're cheering us!" said
Horace. why. they couldn't make
more row for the lord mayor him
self"
Fakrash remained silent till just
as they were driving underneath
Charing Cross railway bridge. when
he started perceptibly at the thur
der OF the trains overhead and the
piercing whistles of the engines. 'Teh
me-" he said, clutching Horace by tht
arm. what meaneth this?'
"You don't mean to say" said HorS
ace. that you have been about Ion
don all these days and never noticed
things like these before?"
The Spokane press. [volume] (Spokane, Wash.) 1902-1939, 1904-02-18

It'll now" said the Jinnee, Il have
had no leisure to observe them and
discover their nature"
WELL" said Horace, anxious to let
the Jinnee see that he had not the
monopoly of miracles, "since your day
we have discovered how to tame or
chain the great forces of Nature and
compel them to do our will. We
control the spirits of earth, air, fire
and water. and make them give us
light and heat. carry our messages,
fight our quarrels for us, transport us
wherever we wish to go-all with
certainty and precision that throw
even your performances, my dear sir,
entirely into the shade"
The Jinneee seemed engrossed in
his own thoughts, for he said no
more just then.
They were now nearing st. Paul's
cathedral. and Horace's first sus-
pioion returned with double force.
perhaps you can tell me why we're
going through Victoria street. and
what all this crowd has come out
for?" asked Ventimore. For the
throng was denser than ever; the
people gazed with a wonder and awe
that for once seemed to have entirely
silenced the cockney instinct of per-
sifage.
For what else but to do thee
honor" answered Fakrash.
What bosh!" said Horace "rhey
mistake me for the shah or some
body--and no wonder in this getup!"
The Spokane press. [volume] (Spokane, Wash.) 1902-1939, 1904-02-18

mot So" said the Jinnee "Thy
names are familiar to them"
Horace glanced up at the hastily
improvised decorations; on one large
strip of bunting which spanned the
street read: Welcome to the Citys
Most Distinguished Guestw ."They
can't mean me-" he thought; and then
another legend caught his eye: well
Done. Ventimore!" And an enthusi-
astic householder next door had burst
into poetry and displayed the couplet
Would We had twenty more
Like Horace Ventimore"
''They DO mean met" ne exclaimed.
Now. Mr.. Fakrash. will you kindly
explain what tomfoolery you've been
up to now? I know you are at the
bottom of this business"
ut struck him that the Jinnee was
slightly embarrassed. 'Didst thou not
say" he replied, that he who should
receive the freedom of the city from
his feilowmen would be worthy of
Bedeea-el-Jemal?"
II may have said something of the
sort. But, good heavens, you
don't mean that you have contrived
that I should receive the freedom of
the city?'
ut was the easiest affair possible"
said the Jinnee. but hc did not at
tempt to meet Horace's eye.
WAS 1t. thought" said Horace, in
white rage. II don't want to be in
quisitive. but should like to know
what I've done to deserve it."
why trouble thyself with the rea-
son? Let it suffice thee that such
honor is bestowed upon thee"
AS he spoke. they drove through
some temporary wooden gates into
the courtyard. where the Honorable
Artillery company presented arms to
them. and the carriage drew up be-
fore large marquee decorated with
shields and clustered banners.
Their entrance was greeted by a
buzz Of applause and admiration. and
an official who introduced himself as
the Prime Warden of the Candle
stickers' company advanced to meet
them. 'The lord mayor will receive
you in the library" he said. 1T you
will have the kindness to follow me-"
Horace followed with an unpleasant
sensation Of weakness at the knees,
and no sort Of idea what he was ex-
pected to do or say when he arrived.
And. in his perplexity, he turned
for support and guidance to his self
constituted mentor. only to discover

BILL SHANNON
HAS new BEAT

Bill Shannon, the terror of hobos,
the rough rider of the police force, has
been assigned to beat on the North
side of the river. If he had been
directed to teach a Sunday school
class in the city Jail Shannon could
have borne up under the detail, but
to be sent to patrol beat on North
Monroe street, and that, too, on day
shift seems to Bill like punishment
for liWHe
ShanAr. has the reputation of being
the greatest hobo-catcher in the north
west and is feared by evil doors and
recognized as the terror of the Grim
inal He knows every haunt and every
nook and corner of the burnt district
of Spokane, which the preachers, the
city officials and some of the news
papers are advertising to the world
He knows more about alleys in one
minute than DR.. Wallace could learn
on 300 Summing trips. He can keep
order, too, in an alley, or anywhere
else.
Cheerful Occupation.
But now Shannon is placed where
he can divide his time between answer
ing questions of sightseers, warning
boys to keep off the Great Northern
bridges and holding horses for nervous
women when the trains are passing.
Bill does not intend to resign. He
lives in hope that some day he will
be permitted to return life of real
duty He takes his present employ
mnt as penanoe for something which
he may have done, and is doing his
duty in his own meek way.
If there is any reason for Shannon's
new detail it is not known. He was
active under the late Woydt admin
iStration in arresting certain offender
who are not now so vigorously watch
ed. But no one says this had anything
to do with the present assignment Of
the veteran officer.

CHAPTER XIV.
Blushing Honors.

1t was rather late the next morn
ing when Ventimore opened his eyes,
to discover the Jinnee standing by
the foot of his bed. "Oh, it's you.
is it?' he said. sleepily How did
you-a-get on last night?"
Il gained such information as /
desired" said Fakrash guardedly.
But the sun is already high. Arise,
my son, put on these robes''-and
with this he flung on the bed the mag
nificent raiment which Ventimore had
last worn on the night of his disas-
trous entertainment-"and when thou
hast broken thy fast prepare to &C.
company me-"
Horace, after hastily disposing of
a cold poached egg and a cup of
coffee, happened to go to the win
dows.
"Good heavens" he cried. "What
does all this mean?"
He might we'll ask. On the oppo-
site side of the road. by the ratings
of the square, a large crowd had col
lected. all staring at the house in
eager expectation. AS they caught
sight of him they raised a cheer
which caused him to retreat in con-
fusion, but not before he had seen a
great golden chariot with six mag
niGcent coal-black horses and a suite
of swarthy attendants in barbaric
liveries standing by the pavement be-
low. Whose carriage is that?" he
asked.
1T belongs to thee" said the jim
nee. Descend. then. and make thy
progress in 1t through the city,"
II will not" said Horace, even to
oblige you. / simply can't drive along

A NIGHT ALARM

Worse than an alarm of fire at
night is the brassy cough of Group,
which sounds like the children's death
knoll and II means death unless some
thing is done quickly. Foley's Honey
and Tar never falls to give instant
relief and quickly cures the worst
forms of Group. Mrs. p. l.. Cordier
of Warrington. KY, writes: my
3-year-old girl had a severe case Of
Group; the doctor said she could not
live. I got a bottle of Foley's Honey
and Tar; the first dose gave quick re-
lief and saved her life" Refuse sub

A THOUSAND DOLLARS THROWN

Mr.. w. w. Baker Of Plainview.
Neb., writes: MY wife had lung
trouble for over II years. We tried
number of doctors and spent over
a thousand dollars without any re-
lief. She was very low and I lost
all hope. when a friend suggested
trying Foley's Honey and Tar. which
did; and thanks be to this great
remedy. it saved her life. She Is
stronger and enjoys better health
than she has ever known in 10 years.
We shall never be without Foley's
Honey and Tar and would ask those
afflicted to try it." Chas. McNab. 402

tell you that the inside nerves have
failed And it will appear to you as
clearly as the light of day.
Not the nerves you know about.
that you feel with. that you command

the vital organ nerves. The nerves
that mean either strength or weak
ness to the stomach, the liver, the
kidneys-to all the organs that are
essential to health, to life and happi-
ness -g
This was my greatest discovery.
Then the way to health was clear
I must vitalize these weakened inside
nerves. In hospitals and at bedsides
my work was to that end.
At last my prescription was per-
fected. called that prescription a

WHO IS CHIEF?

Who is who in the police department
will be considered by the city fathers
this evening but it will be a week
before they make their decision. May
or Boyd and Chief Woydt will meet in
combat, both with witnesses. Two
charges are preferred against the chief.
First that he withheld from Prosecu-
ting Attorney Kimball the evidence
in the gambling case of Harry Green,
and secondly that since Woydt has
been at the head of the department
the force has become demoralized and
the decipline has been poor.

The building was built in 1868 and
it was the oldest college hall in

Kidney complaint kills more people
