Looking for a Name.

The scene is a drug store, in a
busy part of Broadway. When
the action OPENS a pretty woman
is demurely turning over the
leaves of the city directory, re-
lates the New York Tribune.
Enter an irascible old man,
who wants to find out the address
of a fellow who owes him money.
He stands and waits impatiently
filling in the time by coughing
suggestively.
A business man in a hurry fol-
lows. He wants to know where
John Brown lives. 1t is in the
next street, but he has forgotten
the number. He falls in line.
Then q man who seeks some
city, official, but knows nothing
of his office, except that it closes
within few minutes, joins the
ranks of the walters.
Half a dozen others who wish
to consult the directory gather
around. Still the woman placid
ly turns leaf after leaf over, with
out evident intention to decide
whether the name she seeks is
Brown, Jones or Walker.
When there are fully half a
scorce Tuning. inpatient people
in line, enter a newspapers re-
porter. His mission will posi-
lively admit of no delay, so he
politely offers to asst the wo-
man, suggesting that his expert
ences may tend to save time and
lesson her labors. When he asks
her what she seeks, with sweet
smile of thankful appreciation,
she says:
ooh! Thank you. You are
very kind. | am trying to find a

Wounds, Bruises and Burns.

By applying an antiseptic
dressing to wounds, bruises burns
and like injuries before infam-
nation sets in, they may be heal
ed without maturation and in
about one-third the time requir-
ed by the old treatment. This
is the greatest discovery and
triumph of modern surgery.
Chamberlain's Pain Balm acts
on this same principle. 1t is an
antiseptic and when applied to
such injuries, causes them to
heal very quickly. 1t also allays
the pain and soreness and pre-.
vents any danger of blood poison
ing. Keep a bottle of Pain
Balm in your home and it will
save you time and money, not tc
mention the inconvenience and
suffering such injuries entail.

Locomotive as Fielder.

In the baseball annals of Tex
as, Baltimore County, is an incl
dent which, whether an actual
occurrence or not, has been re-
peated so often that it is invest
ed with the force of fact, says
the Baltimore Sun.
On a hot Fourth of July, back
in the eighties, when the catcher
held his position behind the bat
without mask, and the pitcher
knew no curve or toe plate, there
was a game Of ball between the
Texas Sluggers and the Timonium
Little Potatoes, But hard to Peel.
The Sluggers had got in some
good stick work early in the
game, and the visitors were just
feeling the big Texans pitcher.
1t was the. fifth inning and the
Little Potatoes had two men on
bases, one on second and the
other on first, when one of their
home run hitters, who hak been
asleep up until the moment,
struck the ball.
1t cleared the entire field, and
would have fallen on the rail
road track but just at that mo-
ment train came along and the
ball disappeared in the smoke
stack of the engine.
The train was going at a lively
speed up grade, and the force of
the puffs elected the ball. The
momentum of the train carried
it until it fell in the third base
mans hands, and a double play
was the result.
After much kicking from the
Little Potatoes as to whether the
play was fair, the side was re-
tired, as the double play made
three hands out.

Story of Three Boys.

Three boys were told to so and
take the exact time by the town
clock. The first came back and
said: "It is II o'clock" He
became in after life a bookseller.
The second was more exact. He
became a doctor. The third
looked at the clock, found out
how long it took him to walk
back to the house, returned to
the clock, then added the time
of his walk to the time shown,
and reported the result thus
"It is at this moment II hours,
10 minutes and Is seconds. p"
That boy came to distinction as
Helmholtz, the scientist.

AClose Bargain.

A Southern Congressman tells
a story of an old negro in Ala
bama, who in his bargaining, is
always afraid that he may get
"the worst of it," On one occa-
sion, it appears, this aged darkey
went after a calf that he had
pastured all summer and asked
what he owed for the pasturing.
~ have bill of $40 against
you," said the farmer who had
undertaken the care of the ami
NAL, "but, if you are willing, I'll
take the calf and call it settled"
"No, sahn' promptly exclaim-
ed the negro, III do nothing like
dat. But" he added, after a
pause, "I'll tell you what | will
do-yon keep the calf two weeks
longer and you can have it. -

Heartlessness.

A certain merchant of Balti-
more, who is we'll known fer
his philanthropic spirit, was ap-
preached one day by an Irish
man, formerly in his employ,
who made touching appeal for
financial assistance. Said he:
81 trust, sor, that yen find
it convenient to help poor man
whose house an everything in
it was burned down last week,
sor."
The merchant, although he
gives with a free hand, exercises
considerable caution in his phil
anthrophy, so he asked:
"Have you any papers or Ger.
tifcates to show that you have
lost everything by fire, as you
say?"
The Irishman scratched his
head as if bewildered. Finally
he replied:
81 did have a certificate to
that effect, sor, signed before a
notary; but unfortunately, sor,
it was burned up with the rest

Ingenuity Extraordinary.

"Yes," said the narrator of the
story, according to the Chicago
Tribune, "we got into the boat
and road out to the island, eight
miles away, and then we climbed
up the hill to get the view.
Along about noon we went back
to the beach and to our conster-
nation discovered that the boat
had become loose from its moor
ings and had drifted across the
bay to the other side"
"Wasn't that awful !" exclaim-
ed the girl with the sympathetic
eyes.
"Yes. There we were, eight
miles from the mainland, with
no means of communicating with
our friends.''
"Terrible!" said the girl with
the despotic waist.
"What were we to do?"
"What, indeed?" echoed the
girl with the fluffy psyche knot.

How were we to get that boat

An Associated Press dispatch
under date of Washington, Sep
TENDER q, follows: "Mr.
Quesada, the Cuban minister,
this morning personally handed
to the secretary of state copy
of the following cable message
received from Senator Ofarrill,
secretary of state of Cuba: This
morning the coat of arms of the
United States consulate at Glen
fuegos appeared defled. Ex-
press to the secretary of state
how deeply the government de-
plores this occurrence, which
must not be interpreted as a
demonstration of hostility on the
part of the Cuban people towards
the American people, but as an
isolated act due to a criminal
hand to the end of creating diff
culties for the government. An
immediate investigation has
been ordered to punish the au'
thor of such repugnant action
The Cuban government also has
apologized to Charge d'Affair'

Information for Subscribers.

Some newspaper subscribers
wonder, no doubt, why a publish
err will keep sending the paper
when the subscription has ex-
PRED. The reason is this: When
the subscription is paid to q GER
tain time, the time expires and
the paper is stopped, it looks as
if the publisher doubted the in
tegrity of the subscriber, and
nine times out of ten the sub
scriber will give the publisher u
calling down for insinuating
that his credit is not good. Rath-
er than cast any reflection
against neighbours honesty to
pay small debt, it has become
necessary for country newspa-
per to continue sending the pa
per after the time has expired.
The city papers do not generally
follow this rule, as their sub
scribers live at a distance, and
besides, they are not acquainted
and do not know their financial
standing. One should deem it
an honor to know that his credit
is not doubted, when the publish
ers continues to send the paper.
Should the subscriber desire to
have his paper discontinued he
| should remit to date.

A Bright, Successful Boy.

A resident of Madison, Ind,
said of the boyhood of David
Graham Phillips, the novelist,
phillips was a quick, bright
boy, eminently a successful boy.
What he wanted he got always,
and he only wanted sane things,
things that were good for him.
Zone day having one cent and
being hungry, he decided to buy
with it-not foolish, frivolous
candy-but a piece of cheese.
Accordingly, he walked into
grocery, threw down his coin
and said:
A cents worth of cheese,
please
"The grocer smiled.
sWe cannot make a cents
worth, sonny he said.
" what's the smallest you can
maker" asked little David Ora
ham Phillips.
"'Two cents worth, said the
grocer, and he cut off that guam.
tity.
" Now I'll show you,' said the
boy, how in future you may
make a CENTS WORTH
"And he took the cheese knife
cut the 2-cent piece in half
pointed to his copper, and walk,
ed out, munching calmly. "-Ex

Mother Love of Loon.

Graham West, in Recreation.
