A CRANKY SORT OF AN OLD MAN.

A couple of years ago cranky sort
of an old man came into this Office
and stopped his paper because some
thing in it did not suit his fancy.
We have frequently met him Jon the
streets since that time and it is anus
ing to note the look of surprise on
the fellows face that we are still ex-
isting regardless of the fact that he
stopped his paper. Some day, and
it won't be long either, that old gen
tleman will turn up his toes. His
heart will be stilled forever. The
neighbors and friends will follow his
lifeIess clay to the silent city and lay
them to rest among the flowers. An
obituary will be published in these
columns, telling what kind father,
good husband and neighbor he was.

Big SHOW COMING.

The capacity of the big tents is
always tested during the John Rob-
inson Shows engagement, and if
Uucle Alvin and Aunt Mary desire
much comfort and more peace of
mind, it would be best to allow the
children to bring them to the after
noon exhibitions, where the new
menagerie can be seen to much
better advantage and more time
given to absorb the descriptive know
ledge SO pleasantly unfolded by the
sentlemanly lecturers.
The white city is beautiful pic
ture on the green, and thousands of
sight-seers will take advantage to
inspect this monster moving caravan.
The horse stables alone are worth
visiting to all lovers of the gentle
equine, for the Robinson horse
show" is the talk of all America;
then the ponies, they should be seen,
also the culinary department, where
over six hundred people are served
three times day. The blacksmith
shops, the electric. light plant and
hundred places will be found of in

Only work of an absolutely neces-
sary character is done on Sundays. If
the weather is fine and the water is
not too cold, the elephants will be
given bath in a large pond near the
grounds.
Every one win see the vast i'm

Each department is so completely

Ths Trick shrewd Dealer played o.
an Astuts Banker.
A story told IN the Memories Of
an Old Collector" makes clear the
tricks in trade to which an unscru-
pulous dealer in antiquities will re-
sort in order to get large sum for
his wares. The two parties were
Alessandro Castellani, the clever
dealer, and Baron Adolph Roth
sct1ild of Paris
Castellani had managed to get
hold Of superb enameled ever, to-
gether with the dish on which it
stood. He knew that Baron Adolph
had fancy for objects of this kind,
but he also knew that Rothschild
was never so carried away by his
fancy as to pay more than was rea-
sonable for anything that pleased
him. Castellani devised bit of
strategy.
The baron on arriving in Rome
visited Castellani's shop and was
shown the best things the dealer
had except the enameled dish and
ever. When everything else had
been inspected Castellani drew from
q hidden cupboard the dish. but not
the ever. The baron was so pleased
with the dish that he agreed to buy
the lot OF which it was part, for
one of the customs of the shop was
not to sell rare specimen apart
from the group OF which it formed
the principal object. The baron paid
heavily for the whole, lamenting
that there was no ever to stand on
the dish, and departed for Florence.
There he was visited by an agent
who told him of an old lady who
wished to sell several beautiful ma
5olica pieces. BE visited her house
IN the country and was disappointed.
As the majoEca lady, seemingly cha
grined, left the room to order re-
freshments the baron saw through
the open door of a bedroom ever
covered by a glass shade on which
rested wreath of immortelles.
When the lady returned the baron
asked permission to examine the
ever: 1t was brought out, and the
baron saw that the enamel was of
the same work as that of the dish
he had bought, but he wished to be
certain that the foot of the ever
would fit into the hollow of tb
dish. He inquired the price of tt
ever and was told by the lady thai
it was not for sale, as it was the
only souvenir she possessed of her
husband.
The baron went back to his
rooms, had the dish unpacked and
found that the foot of the ever fit
Leo u per1ectIy- Inc next Gay the
baron sent the agent to offer the
old lady princely sum for the
ever. He brought back refusal to
sell. But at last the widows scru-
pies were overcome.
Castellari, with his italian cum
ming, had planned the whole affair.
The agent who called and the old
lady who was sentimental were his
aids in making the baron pay
much larger sum than he would
have given had ever and dish been
sold together. The Italian shop
mans scheme had taken in one Of
the most astute of business men.

Eat What
You want of the food you need
Kodol will digest It.

You need a sufficient amount of
good wholesome food and more than
this you need to fully digest 1t.
Else you can't gain strength, nor
can you strengthen your stomach II
It is weak.
You must eat in order to liveand
maintain strength.
You must not diet, because the
body requires that you eat a sufHc-
lent amount of food regularly.
But this food must be dIgested,
and 1t must be digested thoroughly.
When the stomach can't do 1t,
you must take something that will
help the stomach.
The proper way to do is to eat
what you want, and let Kodol d.
gest the food.
Nothing else can do this. When
the stomach is weak it needs help;
you must help it by giving it rest,
and KodOl win do that.
