TOO GOOD A SHAVE

One of the anecdotes in Joseph
L. Kings History of the San Fran
cisco Stock Exchange Board" is as
follows:
While stocks were quite low dur
ing spell in 1873 a discovery of
ore was made in Ophir, the stock
advancing in price. 1t was the
policy of those in control of the
Comstock mines to keep secret any
improvement until they could
secure for themselves good
quantity of the stock.
Budd heard of this Ophir dis
covery and bought some stock, and
as the price advanced from SIG to
$85 the profits on his purchases at
low, figures enabled him to buy
more stocks. Beling quite a plunger,
he purchased in all $500 shares.
AS the stock still advanced to
higher figures he sold about 1900
shares, leaving him a balance of
1000 shares when the stock reached
$82, which would have given him;
quite large profit if all were sold
at that figure.
During the recess that day he
determined to sell the remainder,
which would give him quite a
profit. The afternoon session was
devoted to the calling of outside
stocks, occupying half an hour,
after which the members would
call up, through the chairman, any
of the Comstock shares. Budd
thinking, he had time sufficient
during that first half hour to get
shaved, sat down in q BARRIERS chair
and, being quite flush, gave the
barber SIS, directing,him to give him
good shave. 1t turned out to be
too good shave, as Budd went to
sleep, and the barber, being well
paid devoted quite time in making
his customer appear respectable.
Budd woke up, looked at his watch
and made rush for the board.
He ascertained that Ophir had been
called and had broken 10 badly
that when his stock was sold he
only obtained $40 a share for it.
He always claimed that that
shave cost him just $40, 900.

Deafnes. Cannot Be Cured

by local applications as they cannot
reach the diseased portion of tho
ear. There is only one way to cur ,
deafness, and that is by consti.
tutional remedies. Deafness is caused
by an infiamed condition of the
mucous lining of the Eustachian
Tube. When this tube is inflamed,
you have rumbling sound or i'm.
perfect hearing, and when it is
entirely closed, Deafness is ths
result, and unless the infamatio
can be taken out and this tube re-
stored to its normal condition,
hearing will be destroyed forever;
nine cases out of ten are caused BY
Catarrh, which is nothing but an
inflamed condition of the mucous
surfaces. 49,.
We will give One Hundred DOL
lars for any case of Deafness (caused
by catarrh) that cannot be cured

NEXT CONGRESS

A Washington dispatch of the

The new census promises to
precipitate a political and sectional
controversy of vital interest to the
people. Based upon the population
it represents. congress will have to
determine whether the house of
representatives shall be numerically
enlarged, which will make the body
more unwieldy, or whether the ag-
gregate Of persons entitled to
member Of congress shall be in
creased, which will mean that the
house will retain its present men,
ber5hip and possibly may be re-
duced.

PEARY'S FAREWELL TO MARVIN

AS all the world knows, Ross G.
Marvin was the only man of
Peary's successful polar expedition
to sacrifice his life. The pathetic
details of Peary's final goodbye to
Marvin are found in the command
er's narrative in the July issue of
Hampton's Magazine. He says:
THE next morning, Friday,
March 26, l raped the whole
party up at S o'clock, after a good
sleep all round. AS soon as we had
eaten our usual breakfast of
pemmican biscuit and tea, Henson,
Oo-tah and Keshingwah, with three
sledges and twenty-five dogs, got
away on Bartlett's trail. Marvin,
with Kud-look-too and "Harrigan,"
one sledge and seventeen dogs,
started south at $50 o'clock.
mo shadow of apprehension for
the future hung over that parting.
1t was clear, crisp morning and
sunlight glittering on the ice and
snow, the dogs were alert and
active after their long sleep, the
air blew cold and fresh from the
polar void, and Marvin himself,
though reluctant to turn back, was
filled with exultation that with the
exception of Bartlett and myself,
he alone of all white men had en-
tered that exclusive region which
stretches beyond sc degrees 81
minutes north latitude.
81 shall always be glad that
Marvin marched with me during
those last few days. AS we tramp
ed along together we had discussed
the plans for his trip to Cape
Jesup, and his line of soundings
from there northward; and as he
turned back to the land his mind
was alert with hope for the future
the future which he was destined
never to know. My last word to
him were:
BE careful of the leads, my
boy!
"By a strange coincidence, soon
after Marvin left us on his fatal
journey back to land, the sun was
obscured and dull, lead-colored
haze spread over all the sky. The
light was gray and shadowless; it
was impossible to sec for any dis
lance. That shadowless light is not
unusual on the ice.fields of the polar
sea; but this was the first occasion
on which we had encountered
it since leaving the land. A more
ghast'y and corpse-like atmos-
phere could not have been imagined
sky and ice seeming utterly
attenuated and unreal"
