Faker's Ingenious Device.

There was a man recently who did
a tremendous business at French
fairs, selling a powder that was harm
less to men but deadly to rats. He
would spread some Of the powder on
a slice of bread and eat It; then put
a portion under glass case, in which
was a rat, that died as soon as 1t ate
the bread. Here is the explanation
of the trick. The powder was ordi-
nary sugar. But the glass case was
connected with an electric battery,
and as soon as the rat touched the
bread the current was turned on. and
it was electrocuted..

How MiIlionaires Enjoy Themselves.

Twenty millionaires, impersonating
farmers, have held a curious dinner
in an hotel in Philadelphia. A minia-
ture cornfield had been installed in
the dining hall, and ROSTERS ate wheat
from the floor. The guests used toy
pitchforks, rakes, and hoes, instead of
knives and forks. A stuffed bull stood
behind rail fence, and two live pigs
feasted in a sty. Farming utensils
hung on the walls, and the electric
lights were in pumpkins and melons.
When the company felt thirsty they
went to a cider press, and farmers
wagons took them home.

MASS OF SORES
Awful Suffering Of Little Boy
from an itching HunlOuT
CURED BY CUTICURA
Not One Square Inch Of Skin on
His Whole Body Unaffected

"My little son, g boy Of Eve, broke
out with an itching rash. Three doc
tors prescribed for him, but he kept
getting worse until we could not dress
him any more. They finally advised
me to try a certain medical college,
but its treatment did no good. At the
time was induced to try Cuticura
he was so bad that I had to cut his
hair off and put the cuticura oint-
ment on him on bandages, as II was
impossible TO touch him with the bare
hand. There was not one square inch
of skin on his whole body that was
not affected. He was one mass of sores.
The bandages used to stick to his skin
and In removing them IL used to take
the skin off with them, and the screams
from the poor child were heart-break.
ing. began to think that he would
never get well, but after the second
application of cuticura Ointment I
began to see signs of improvement,
and with the third and fourth appii-
cations the sores commenced TO dry
up. His akin peeled of twenty times,
but II finally yielded to the treatment.
Now / can say that he IL entirely
cured, and a stronger and healthier
boy you never saw than he is to-day"

 A settlement has been made in the suit of McBrearty X Co against tl% Colby Sherwood Shoe Co on South Main street. The basis of this suit was misunderstanding of an order. Before the local militia companies went to Manassas last summer, some of the militiamen went to the Colby- Sherwood Co.'S store for tan color9d shoes. Their size was not in stock and they were telegraphed for to the plaintiffs factory in Philadelphia. The telegrapher got the order twisted and instead of sending so many sizes, eiehts and hines, whatever the order was, the company sent on half doz> en cases. They had filled the order with a vengeance. Of course the lc- cal concern had no use for so many cases and would not accept them. The Philadelphia concern quoted the order and then the mistake was discovered.

And coffee IS tue right kind and only good bracer NOW If you think we are talking through our hat just buy a pound of coffee at our store and pay us the same price gou pay the other fellow and give us one weeks trial and see now much better you'll feel. We also wish 10 say if there are any people who nave not given our tea, coffee and butter a rial they should do so just to see for themselves what a difference there IS In the quality we sell and what others sell. Our butter is 25 cents per pound and it's the quality that's sold else where for 30 cents. Remember, we sell fresh buttermilk by the quart or glass the whole year round.
