hazel salve" writes J. l.. Tucker, of Cen
tire, Ala. Ihave used it in my family for
piles, cuts and burns for years and recon-

His Bad Break.

Talking about fright and gray hairs, u
said travelling man; "my hair never
came so near turning white in a single
night as it did a couple of weeks ago when
I was in town in one ofethe widest
patches of country in the West. I enter
ed cafe and started in to ingratiate my
self with the boys, and was getting along
fine.
"There was one old fellow who hung
around the bar a great deal and seemed
to have everybody scared. I made up
my mind that he was the chap wanted
to have'on my side, so I started in and
made up to him the best I knew how. ]
told him all the funny stories l knew.
Every time he laughed everybody else
laughed, and when he didn't seem to like
it there was a general attack of the blues.
After awhile he told story himself. I
laughed as hard as I could and slapped
him on the shoulder and said:
"trve heard of you before
"'You have?" said he, looking suspi-
cious all of a sudden.
"Yes,' said I, and you're all right.
You're bird"
81 never saw such swift change Of
scenery in my life. The floor was cleared
all of sudden and the occupants of the
place except the old man and myself were
looking up from behind tables. He had
q six-shooter pointed at me, and if his
fingers had trembled I'd have been the
subject for "a dearest Willy, thou hast left
u.s. piece of poetry then and there. Just
then a young girl rushed into the place
and threw herself between u.s."
"Ofcourse," commented listener, 'this
is about chapter III. She exclaimed:
Spare him! Spare him for my sake p"
"No. She didn't say anything of the
kind. She merely said: Don't be fool,
dad. He didn't mean anything. He amt
heard word about it,
"Then she turned to me and said:

you talk about anything in the fowl line

Going to Fire In China.

81 was in Pekin," said an American
tourist, "when a fire broke out few doors
below the house in which I was lodging,
and at the first alarm I rushed out and
into the burning structure to see what
could be saved. I was at once arrested,
and later on discovered the Chinese way
of fighting fire.
"a policeman first required an affidavit
of the head of the household to the effect
that he did not deliberately set the blaze,
and for this purpose took him before an
official half a mile away. A second was
stationed to see that no one removed any
furniture until the papers had been made
out.
"After lapse of forty minutes the fire.
men arrived. They looked at the burn
ing house and decided that it was on fire.
After much argument it was further
agreed that it would be a waste of water
to try to put out the flames. Two mem
bers, who erected ladder and climbed
part of the way mp, were duly reproyed
for too much zeal, and after the name
age, and habits of the owner had been
taken the fire department retired in good
order.
GAS the flames were unhindered the
house burned to the ground, and when
the owner returned he was beaten by hiE
neighbors for endangering their property
was held in durance vile for two hours
and then fined 40 cents" Chicago News
