Drugs Is Drugs"

From JuuSe.
 The writer took a doctors prescription to the drug store to have 1t filed. In some way this piece of paper became torn in half, so that when the patron handed the druggist the first piece, that public servant at once measured out the ammonia salt it called for and placed the small vial before his customer.
 How much?'
 Ten cents.'
 "Oh, beg pardon.'' said the purchaser, at this juncture finding the remainder of the prescription in hisSpocket. This piece says to add epough water to the other to make four Sunces."
 Very we'll" rejoined the apothecary. dumping the contents of the small vial into a four-ounce bottle and adding the required water There you are, sir; 40 cents more, please
 What ten cents for the ammonia and 40 cents for the water?"
 Exactly. The doctors name written after tho water makes 1t prescription, and we put up no prescriptions under 5o cents"

"The Servant in the House."

P ToHl JudBe.
 A young couple had taken a house in an exclusive neighborhood and wished to make good impression at the very be- ginning of their social career. They were handicapped, however, by the difficulty of securing good servants.
 They finally secured one Norah, a very recen. arrival from County Killarney, but the best they could find. This maid s duty was to answer the front door bell and cary the cards of any visitors to her mistress. She was rehearsed repeatedly in her role, her mistress telling her ex- actly what to say and how to cary her silver salver
 But in spite of her training, Norah' s mistress awaited the hour of her first dinner party with trepidation, and at the first sound of the door bell she could not resist the impulse to listen at the head of the stairs
 Norah rushed to the door excitedly, without her salver; but as she opened 1t and saw visitors standing there, she recollected her instructions, and, throw ing up her hands. exclaimed, in a voice of heartbroken dismay:
 "B' the howly St. Patrick, Oi forgot me pani"

From Success Magazine
 Three Irishmen were stopping at a sec- ond-rate hotel and one of them imbibed so freely at the bar that he had to be carried to his room, in which also slept a negro in separate bed. His comrades, as practical joke on him, proceeded to paint the Irishmans face black Tn the morning, when awakened by the propri- etor, he got up, and happened to catch sight of himself in the mirror "Oh, be- jabers,' he exclaimed, If the blamed idiots haven't gone and woke the nigger by mistake"
 And he crawled back into bed.

Protest On Paper Rates.

Washington, June 5.-Protesting against the action of the Senate finance commit tee in deciding to recommend an increase on the rates of pulp and paper as fixed by the House bill, without giving the pub fishers of the country a hearing or ac- cepting as evidence certain detailed cost reports from American mills, John Norris, chairman of the committee on paper of the American Newspaper Publishers as- sociation, has written a letter to Senator Aldrich formally renewing his applica- ton for a hearing. Mir Norris points out that the House committee devoted ten months to an Inquiry into the paper in- dustry and that the ~committee's investi- eation revealed the fact that the Ameri- can mills can make paper cheaper than Canadian mills.

Complied With the Law.

A certain we'll knnHn Mobile lawyer,
who was lame and had something Of
reputation as fighter, was at one
time attorney in q suit that caused
much i'll feeling. He won the suit for
his client, and the loser vowed venge-
ance. ''In pursuance of that same" In
the language Of Truthful James, he
one day went into the lawyers Office
and subjected him to TRADE Of abuse
that would have caused salt water
captain to die from pure envy, such
was his talent in vituperation.
The lawyer answered him nothing,
to the surprise of two or three men
who were present, but, getting out Of
his chair, began to hobble backward.
His enemy, thinking he was retreat
ing, followed him up, with more abuse
and threatening gestures. The law
yer's foot finally struck against the
wall, when he suddenly Strengthened
up and, saying Gentlemen. I call on
you to witness that on account of this
wall have retreated as far as posi-
ble' the general law Of homicide),
drew out Derringer and shot his op-
ponent.
At the trial he was acquitted, his
witnesses being the men present at
the time Of the killing, who testified to
the lawyers having retreated as far
as possible.

COMFORTING WORDS.
Many a Leon Household will Find
Them So.

To have the pains and aches of
bad back removed; to be entirely
free from annoying, dangerous urin-
airy disorders is enough to make
any kidney sufferer grateful. To
tell how this great change can be
brought about will prove comfort
ing words to hundreds of Leon
readers.
Geo. Roe, living in Leroy, Iowa
says: II suffered from kidney trou.
Bile for about three years. The secre.
tions were very frequent in action
and there was considerable pain in
passing them. My back felt weak
and tired all the time, l had no am.
bition and was easily fatigued. AL
during this time my health slowly
ran down, l became nervous anc
irritable and my life was miserable
took all kinds of remedies but
nothing did me any good. / was

about Doan's Kidney Pills and pro

surprised at the quick improvement
which had taken place in my case

shaRer's Addition.

An infatuated resident of Gospel
Ridge, in recent communication
to The Reporter, refers to "The
justice to Uriah Shaffer, who laid
north of the original town site, and
thus created "Shaffer's Addition to
the town of Leon"
Uriah was quiet, unobtrusive
old gentleman, and had few init
mates. He lived for many years in
a little wood house, for all the
world like an exaggerated cigar box,
and which stood some where near
where Jerry Pickering now lives. He
was reputed to be wealthy and he
certainly was possessed of means.
1t was generally believed by the
town folks that he concealed his
money about his modest home. And
at least one attempt was made by
robbers to loot his cash box, but
they came away empty handed,
bearing marks of Uncle Uriah's
prowess, for the old gentleman ran
them off the forty with knotty
club and smote them enroute.
Mr.. Shaffer went to California
many years ago, and lived on a big
fruit farm, his peach orchards
springing from seeds gathered by
him in the streets and alleys of
Leon. We had plenty of peaches in
those days, so the old gentleman had
small trouble in gathering bushels
of the seeds, which he shipped to
California, and which warmed by
the sun, and wet by the dew
grew into vast orchards, which
added yearly to their owners
The frugal character of it's found
er seems to have left little i'm
press on the people of the neighbor-
hood he founded. They have
covered the hills and slopes up
there with pretty homes, many of
them artistic, and they spend their
money freely in beautifying them.
They are progressive and up-to-date
and the tendency of the men folks
IN Skaters addition to scratch for a
living may be regarded as a dis
tinctive trait, or rather a poor Joke,
depending on where you live. A
small influx of foreigners in recent
years has modified but slightly the
characteristics of this part of our
town. The women folks of Shat
fer's addition regard their male pro-
tectors as infinitely superior in
every way to the ordinary mess OF
mankind, and the husbands and
fathers are idolized by their wives
and children. All this has made the
Shaffers Addition man somewhat
"toppy,' and inclined to look down
in pity on the balance of the male
sex. He affects to feel his superi.
GRITTY, and has an unusual store OF
that commodity known as decent
PRIDE" which fringes out about
him, as he mingles with his fellows
like the spines on a buckeye, an6
repels familiarity. Beneath this
"spiney" exterior, however, you will
find a loyal heart. Loyal to his
family-to his friends-and tt
Skaters addition.
