People of That City BY
His Work

81. Louis. Jan. Il.
This city is at present In the midst
OF an excitement beyond anything
that II has experienced In recent

old and young. rich and poor, all
seem to have become beside them

The man who has created all this
turmoil is l.. r. Cooper. president of
tho Cooper Medicine Co.. OF Dayton.
Ohio, who is at present introducing
his preparation In this city for the
FIRST time.
Cooper Is man about thirty years
OF age who has acquired a fortune
within the past two years by the sale
OF some preparations OF which he is
the owner.
Reports from Eastern cities that
preceded the young man here were OF

the thing TO be impossible. but the
facts seemed 10 bear out the state.

lp consequence people blocked 10
him by thousands and his propara-
lions sold like wildhre.
Many OF these stories were regard
"a as fictitious In 81. Louis. and until
Cooper actually reached this city 1T

An interesting case at law, whlch

recently. A merchant, says the Ameri-

count of neglect OF duty. Among the
charges against him was that he came

cause he attended service at the syna-
gogue in order to say kaddish-tne

chant, who was also a religious mar,
maintained that If Moses had known
that a man had to pay 5000 gulden
year rent he would have made diner

such an argument, but decided In Ia
vor of the merchant, because the
daily attendance at the synagogue
could not be considered the right o

A Fish Story.

"Trout protection! Nonsense" saio
a gunner of local eminenoe. Trout
are amply able to protect themselves
Look at their depredations among
ducks, for example, and you will agree
with me that it's the birds that need
protection. It's a common thing for
trout to Jump from the water, seize
duck by The neck, drag the unfortunate
fowl into the depths sufficiently 10
leave its feet sticking in the asr, where
il can get no purchase upon the uni
verse. and thus drown 1t. Then the
trout picks the feathers from the bird
eats II at it's leisure and swims away
out of the jurisdiction of the courts
Are there any fishermen? None? Too
bad. This would be match for ont
of their fish stories.
