Sand Cure for Dyspepsia

A number of persons in Westehester, Pa, who are sufferers from stomach troubles are trying the sand cure. The sand, so dispatch tells us, comes from Mississippi in bags of two quarts each It is taken in doses of a teaspoonful and as often as the patient feels trou- ble coming.
 "When any animal has an attack of stomach trouble, ' argues one of the be lieyers in the cure, "it goes at once to the ground for some clay or sand, and why should not a mani"
 Why not indeedi There is no reason under the sun for mans going else where than to the ground for cure when he has stomach trouble, unless it be that when man has stomach trouble he is more unreasonable than at any other time.
 The sand cure will appeal strongly to the great majority of people whose stomachs are all right, and in time those people, when their stomaehs go wrong, may, by the exercise of will power, con vince themselves that duty to them selves and to their families, to say nothing of friends and country, de mands that they shall go to the ground for cure.-Chicago erOcean.

century Englishman of Robert Wal poles time had made the same point in exactly the same way concerning the house of lords it would not be surpris- ing.
 Lincoln undoubtedly appropriated all the stories he could acquaint himself with, regardless of their antiquity; and often, no doubt, he adapted their point to the conditions of the people he lived among. His own explanation of his extraordinary propensity to aneedote in speech or conversation is excellenuy given in the current Century magazine by Colonel Silas ". Burt, who relates a remarkable incident, hitherto unpub. lished of the Civil war history. It is not necessary in this connection to more than quote the words that fell from Mir. Lincoln 's lips:
 "I believe l have the popular repu- tation of being story-teller, but l do not deserve the name in it's general sense; for it is not the story itself, but its purpose, or effect, that interests me. 1 often avoid a long or useless discus sion by others or q laborious explana- tion on my own part by short story that illustrates my point of view. So, too, the sharpness of q refusal or the edge of a rebuke may be blunted by an appropriate story, so as to save wounded feeling and yet serve the purpose. No, am not simply story teller, but story telling as an emollient saves me much friction and distress.
 It may be added that this aecords with the view which most students of Lincoln 's character had reached. Coi- onel Burt s authoritative report of the president remarks is, however, none the less interesting and valuable.--The Springfield Republican.

The Price of Silence

A we'll known business man in town not far from Cincinnati discovered one morning recently on entering his office that his safe was out of order. He i'm mediately telegraphed to Philadelphia for an expert.
 Whes the latter arrived he found that the safe, an old-fashioned affair locked with q key, could not be opened After a nasty examination the expert, taking a piece of wire, dug out from the key a mass of dust and lint. He then opened the safe in the twinkling of an eye. The business man wore siekly smile as he asked meekly:
 How muchin
 Twenty dollars.
 "Do any of your firm patrons here know of your visitl"
 '' Not soul but yourself. y
 "'Then,' added the business man, "here's s $40. I'll take it to be great favor if you II hustle out by the first train. If anyone in this town knew that I had paid man s20 to dig dirt out of key for me, I'd never do am other dollars worth of business in the whole state. ''-New York Times

A Troublesome Comma

One more instance of the power of punctuation. Even comma may play the very deuce. Not many years ago q distinguished graduate of Oxford de. cided to enter the Non-conformist min istry and to wear no sacerdotal garb. And he announced this intention in a manifesto containing the words, ''l shall wear no clothes, to distinguish me from my fellow Christians. ' That de. lightful comma made him the laughing stock of the university and the joy of the picture shops, whose windows were flooded with illustrations of the Rev. X. Y /. distinguishing himself from his fellow Christians. ''--London Chronicle.

Bryan Didn't Look Good"

When a stranger places his name in the hotel register it behooves the clerk to show him every difference, just as much as if he were a known celebrity. No matter what town the guest puts down after his name, the clerk, if he is wise, will bear in mind that the stranger may at any moment get con trol of some delegation and become prominent while others sleep.
 ',I I'll never forget the first time l met William Jennings Bryan" said Cashier Field at the Euclid yesterday, ponder ing over his thought. Possibly Bryan would not remember me, as I didn t have my mustaehe then, but I remem- Der that he came to the Planters, in St. Louis-AI was clerk at that hotel then at the time of the Republican conven- tion that nominated Mckinley in '96. l didn t know him from load of wood, and he didn t know me any better. The place was chock full of people, guests sleeping seven and eight in room. Well, the fellow who registered as w. J. Bryan didn't look extra good to me, and told him he would have to pay in advance. Of course, they all had to, the way things were then. l gave him $250 room and he occupied it along with seven Republicans.
 Ut was only two months after that when Bryan came to the Planters again, but this time there was 'Wel- come over the door in electric lights in his honor. .,,--Cleyeland Plain Dealer.

THE STORY TELLING LINCOLN
Accredited to the Dead Presi-
 dent Without Foundation

If one is in doubt as to the original teller of a good story whose percentage must needs be fairly old, it has become customary to father it upon Abraham Lincoln. This is, perhaps, not a penalty of Mr. Lincoln s remarkable story-tell- ing gift, since there is nothing punitive or discreditable to his fame in such a tendency of posterity. All the good sto- ries are credited to him, for the same reason that all the infamies of the French revolution are shouldered large ly upon Robespierre. In neither case, perhaps, does it much matter where the truth ends and fiction begins.
 That the storytelling Lisncoln of tra- dition is telling great many more sto- ries than he really told in the flesh is proved by current magazine writer, unwittingy, for he inserts in his article the following;
 During critical time in the Civil war, when the senate had been particu- larly obstructive, one of his ardent sym pathizers burst in upon him and hotly ucHuuhtcu bhc SVudtcy dhu hhlSucu HIS tirade by asking
 What s the use of the senate, any way2"
 Mir. Lincoln was drinking cup of tea. In his homely fashion he poured the tea from his cup to the saucer and back again to cool it off, undisturbed by the caller s vehemence.
 "Well, said the man, impatiently, "what s the use of the senate3'
 "I have just shown you,' was Lin eoln 's answer, and once moro the tea was poured.
 The man looked puzzled. Then a great light broke upon him. You mean it enables public passion to cool off. v
 The greatest of American presidents nodded and drank his tea.
 Years ago the sam epoint was illus trated in story told of Washington and Jefferson. Jefferson asked, accord ing to the older version: "Of what use is the senatel" He had just poured 8 cup of hot tea into a saucer and Wash ington said; "You have just answered 1t yourself; the senate is the saucer into which we pour our legislation to cool it oifl' If someone should come along and show that some eighteenth

New York, Dec. 31.-In spite Of the
financial furries and hard times, New
York will tonight celebrate the in
coming New Year as it has never been
celebrated here before For months
all the tables in fashionable restau-
rants and hotels have been engaged.
and the man who has not arranged for
seat for himself will have hard work
finding place to dine tonight. Spe-
cial preparations have to be made at
the great restaurants to entertain
guests, and in most of them the an
nouncement has been made that noth-
ing in the drink line except cham-
pagne will be served during the even-
Ing.
The management Of the Cafe Mar
tin has announced an innovation for
the evening, as an experiment. The
rule against women smoking will be
abrogated for the night at least. New
York has never adopted the European
style SO far as women smoking in pub
lie is concerned, and no first -class res
taurant in town allows it. Tonight's
experiment at the Martin may change
the rule.
