Stocking Put to the Test.

With the assistance of an Obiiging
bank cashier who happened to be-
working after banking hours and an
embarrassed saleswoman in the
hosiery department of a State street
store, it was figured out Saturday just
how much coin of the realm a wo-
mans stocking would hold
The Tribune offers it's Information
gratis to Judge Burlington, of the
United States district court, Pittsburg,
Pa, who has been spending sleepless
nights over the question. A witness
in a bankruptcy suit declared that she
carried S1,747 in her stocking. OF this
sum STAT was in gold, silver and small
coin. OF course, she didn't wear the
stocking while the money was in it.
Now" said the bank cashier, knit
ting his brOWs, we first must get at
a woman stocking We have a pri-|
Vate room for woman depositors, but,
unfortunately, 1t is after banking
hours. There is some limit. however,

open work. It would have to be
strong, or it would break"
The cashier then sought a hosiery
department, where a girl with touched
up hair parted coquetushly on the left
side stood waiting.
Pardon me. ma'am," said the
cashier, but we would like to see
some ladies' hosiery.

A piece of scarlet hosiery was laid
out on the counter. After a brief sur
vey the cashier announced:
Length thirty inches5 average

'NoW," he continued jotting some
figures down upon the blank side of a
check, $50, 600 in $40 gold pieces
would occupy d five inch section of the
stocking. 1t would hold just $50 000
in gold coin. but it would be rather
hard to walk away with. 1t would
weigh a trif1e more than III pounds"
The saleswoman's eyes began to
dilate as she listened to the golden
flow of language.
Now, if it was silver dollars that
the hosiery was to be filled with" the
cashier went on, 1.-The stocking would
hold five bags of $1,000 each. If a

have used it in tonsilitis, ulcers. old

I cheerfully take pleasure in recon-

do I must say this preparation

Having first tried the Golden Chem

in recommending it as a never failing
remedy for diphtheria if taken in
time. 1t is perfectly harmless and can
be applied by anyone. I must say that
is 90 per cent. better than antitoxine
and surpasses anything I have ever
heard of for this loathsome disease,
and I shall ever continue to use it in
my practice. This is the first time
in my life that I ever allowed my
name to be used in public print advo-

now to allay the fears of mothers for
their children. I have no interest in
the sale of this medicine personally.
1t is the duty of every person who has
a family to keep a bottle of this rem
edy on hand to apply Immediately on
appearance of ulcers in the throat. I
would also advise every doctor to use
it in his practice.
