A ROASTED RAT.
IL Appears In Many Guises, According
to a Japanese Legend.

Ie appears IN MANY GubeesV According
to a Japanese Legend.
In olden time, runs Japanese leg
end, a Buddhist priest became ac-
Huainted with a daimio's courier who
on his journeys to and from Tokyo
would often stop and spend the night
at the temple. He seemed to be man
of remarkable intelligence, with whom
it was a great pleasure to converse up
on all sorts of subjects. One night, as
the two were talking together, the cou-
rier said:
II thank you for the many favors
friends, but tomorrow morning I must
bid you farewell and never see you
again."
"Why must that. be7" asked the
priest.
81 will tell you the whole TRUTH" an
swered the courier. II am not a man,
but a fox For the purpose Of deceiv-
ing the daimio assumed human form.
One Of his retainers, however, became
suspicious and learned my secret. He
has made a trap and baited 1t with a
roasted rat in order that he may cap
ture me on my return journey and put
me to death. Alas, it will be impossi-
BILE for me to escapew
The priest exclaimed in astonish-
ment: "Can it be true that you are a
fox? This is a strange story. Since
you know all about the trap, why do
you not leave the bait untouchedT
Because 1t is impossible for fox.
when once it smells roast rat, to keep
from tasting it"
"Why, how is it," asked the priest,
''that you, whose wisdom Is more than
that possessed by most men, can throw
away your life for the sake Of eating a
roast rat? Among men, even a fool
would know too much for that"
The fox answered, with a bitter
laugh: "Ah, it is only a roast rat that
can lead fox astray. But men, though
we'll aware of the danger, are caught
by their love of pleasure, Of strong
drink or Of gold. To obtain these they
not only throw away their own lives,
but they bring ruin upon their families
and their country.
these temptations are only other
forms of roasted rat."-Youth's Com
panion.

The Mail Order Folly.

The following incident is pub
.lished for perusal by those who de-
light in porting over the pages of an
immense catalogue in search for
rare bargains and then sending to
Shears. Sawbuck, & Co. for some
article which they could have pur-
chased at home. They think that
they have saved money and tell
their neighbors to quit dealing with
the home merchants who charge
two prices for everything:
A rather amusing story is told
on a man who went into a hard
ware store of a neighboring town
and wished to purchase an axe,
says an Ohio paper. Being shown
the article and informed that the
price was S1.15 he said: "Why, /
can get that same kind of an axe
from a mail order house for 80
cents"
Every WELL" said the hardware
man, 81 will give it to you for the
same price provided that you will
do the same with me as you would
with them.'
y"All right" replied the customer
as he handed over dollar bill, the
merchant giving him back ten
cents in change.
"Now," said the hardware man,
81 want 25 cents more to pay the
express charges" which the pur-
chaser gave him. elbow much
does your axe cost you?"
"One dollar and fifteen CENTS"
the man answered.
every good; now give me the
five cents more for money order fees
and POSTAGE" which the purchaser
had to hand over. 'Now how
much did your axe cost you?"
"One dollar and twenty cents, !"
said the customer.
"Not so cheap after all,'' said
the merchant, whereupon he pick
ed up the axe, tossed it back on
the shelf and told the customer to
call for it in ten days, as that
would be as soon as. he could get it
if he had ordered it from the mail
order house.

Pale People Made Ruddy By RydaIe's
Tonic,

Pale people are pale because the blood is de-
fcient in quantity or poor in quality, or both.
This impoverished condition of the blood is
almost invariably caused by some wasting disease
This cause may be a chronic disease such as
dyspepsia, consumption, malaria, &C., or it may
be the result of acute disease such as fever &C.
1t matters not what cause produces this i'm.
poverished condition of the blood. Rydale's
Tonic will restore it to its normal state and bring
back the hue of health to the pale cheek.

ebrated pianos such as the Steinway,
Weber, Krakauer. lIazelton, Washburn

been traded in for other instruments.
In many cases these uprights have been
exchanged for grand pianos, Ordinari-
ly such pianos arc sold in the condition
received, but i'll Lyon & lIealy's the
little things one does not like about a
piano which stamp it as several years
old, are changed in their own factor
les. So these pianos are brought right
down to date in tone. action and gen
eral appearance. Every trace of use
is removed from their eases, aud alto
gether they are made substantially as
perfect as the day they left their
makers hands These rebuilt pianos
give great satisfaction.
If you'would like "a good piano at
about half the price, write to Lyon q
Healy for list of instruments in this
class. They will be glad to go intofull
particulars, and you may depend upon
every statement that they make. Tell
