FOR A naREEN" BELLBoY.

Nervous Hotel Guest, I'm Her VIII,
Rewards Satisfactory Service.
That Dame Fortune has not ceased
to bestow her gifts on those who de-
serve them is shown by the expert
ence of Michael Dunphy, who until a
lev weeks ago was bellbcy ct the
Argonaut In this city, San Francisco
dispatch to the New York World says.
Last February Mrs. NJ. M. Potter. Of
Salem, Mass, arrived at the Argonuat,
and being Ill and nervous, was the
bane OF the "bellhops" of the hotel.
Soon after her arrivel Mike" Dun
ply, a green lad. was given Job on
the bench, and his apparent greenness
invited all of the difficult tasks Of the
bell boys routine. Among other tasks
that of waiting upon the querulous
guest was shifted to Mike"
He accepted the work gracefully and
performed his duties In an exception
al manner, and when the guest left
in the early part of June he was the
recipient Of many covert jibes from
the rest of the boys on account Of his
willingness to oblige a non-tipping
guest. He had his chance to laugh,
however, when early in July he re-
ceived check for S10O from Mrs. Pot
ter.
About two weeks ago Assistant Man
ager George Dixon of the Argonaut re-
ceived letter from Brown & Car.
lysle, firm of lawyers in Boston, say.
ing that Mrs. Potter had died. leaving
a bequest of $500 for the faithful
bellboy. A check for that amount was
inclosed. cashed by Dixon and the
money given to the lad. who imme
diately made arrangements for the
purchase of lot in the Richmond dis
trict and contracted for the construc
ton of home on It, With what hs
had left over he took his aged parents
on pleasure trip to Denver, where ht
now is.
| His good luck did not end there
Yesterday Dixon received another let
ter from the law firm, stating that, OF
receiving his report Of the lads dis
position Of the $4,000 they were read.
to carry out further provision o.
Mrs. Potter's will, to the effect that i
the boy disposed of his check wisel,
he was to have balance of $47,5OO
making the total amount $4,000. Th'
letter further declares that the la(

up to that sum, and asks that an in
closed letter to that effect be forward

Government Investigating Plant
That Makes Animals In
duIge in Antics.
EATING PLANT is A HABIT.
Operation of the Poison Causes
Four-Footed Victims to Become
Dangerous for Mans Use.

No longer are the mustang and the
cayuse of the plains to become plumb
locoed' II the bureau of plant industry
of the department of agriculture has
Its way. The term plumb locoed" has
been sort of stock phrase in the
range literature ever since the cow
boy first noted the peculiar actions of
horse, cow or sheep resulting from
an overindulgence In the loco weed,
which abounds in the range country
from Texas to Montana. The word
loco" is of Spanish origin, meaning
crazy. and has been popularly applied
to the disease which robs an animal
Of its muscular coordination, causing
- IN do oil sorts Of fancy antics, and
finally results In the animal starving
itself to death.
The bureau of plant industry has
been investigating the purple and
white loco weed, says correspondent
of the Chicago Daily News. One of
the peculiar characteristics of 1t is
tho~ tho pouo, Whcu uIy duu lui VI
seeds, rattle as a person passes
through patch, making a sound that
resembles the warning Of rattle
snake. Ordinarily neither horse. COW
nor sheep will eat the weed If 1t can
find any other food.
Loco-weed eating becomes q sort Of
habit with an animal once 1t has tast-
ed Of It. The operation of the weed
on the system Of an animal scien-
tifically bears out the fiction which
ascribes to plumb locoed" animal
all kinds of fool antics.
The first symptom of loco poisoning
In horses is often change In the
general condition of the animal. II
high-lived the animal becomes some
what dull. Following this, irregular
tiles In its gait and in its mode of eat
ing appear. The irregularities in the
gait may be due partly to weakness
and simulate paralytic affection.
The horse drags Its feet more or less.
this being particularly noticeable In
the hind legs. Associated with this
paralytic condition is an apparent loss
Of muscular coordination.
II locoed horse is used either in
riding or driving. this lack of mus
cular coordination may make 1t ex-
tremely dangerous, as such a horse
shies violently at imaginary objects,
cannot readily be led or backed, and
II started In motion Is inclined to go
in an automatic fashion at the same
gait until stopped by some obstruc.
tion. In the later stages of the dis
ease the animal loses flesh, its coat be-
comes rough, and eventually it ceases
to eat, and dies.

THE WHITE FLAG.

I sent my love two roses-ons
AS white as driven snow
And one blushing royal red.
A flaming Jacqueminot.

That night l should divine
The moment should meet my love,
If her true heart were mine.
For If she holds me dear. I said.
She'll wear my blushing rose,
If not she'll wear my cold Lamarque
AS white as winters SHOWS.
My heart sank when / met her; sure

For on her breast my pale rose lay
In virgin whiteness cold.
Yet with low words she greeted me,
With smiles divinely tender;
upon her cheek the red rose dawned-
The white rose meant surrender.

FACTS ABOUT ARSENIC.
Poisoning of Cows Leads to Founda-

Poisoning of Cows Leads to Founda-
tion Of Prosperous Mine.
Arsenic is mined in Japan, Italy,
Portugal. Spain, Germany, England
and within limited area in the Unit
ed States. Its uses are many. AS a
poison 1t has been known from very
early times. The peasant women Of
Austria consume large quantities of 1t,
having faith in Its virtues as beauti-
fier, and the men of the same region
are addicted to its use in the mistaken
belief that IT. increases their bodily
strength and endurance.
Arsenic is useful mineral 1t is
used In the manufacture OF glass,
white metal, Paris green and a great
variety of paints, In printing calico,
in making toilet soaps. cosmetics and
complexion powders; in the manufac-
ture Of fireworks and as constituent
of many alloys. For these and simi-
lar purposes between 5000 and 5000
tons are imported into the United
States every year. The average value
of white arsenic may be placed at
about sS5 per ton.
II was only few days ago that ar
senic ore was discovered In Virginia;

Brownlow, managing director of the

The manager considered thought
fully.
There is Miss Gordon" he said hesi-
tatingly.
"Gordon" queried the director.
Yes You remember Gordon. the
merchant? He failed about two years
ago, and caused sensation by putting
an end to his life"
How long has she been with the
frm?"
Nearly two years. Perhaps you
would like to see her?'
Right! Show her up!"
Brownlow scrutinized the girl as she
nervously entered the private office.

that without the probability of starv-

I'VE will not discuss my position,

eyes, but she spoke determinedly, and
indicated the empty frame. "I have
left that for-for your wife's photo

when my services will be no longer
necessary"
"Ah! Who told you had married?"
"Mr. Brownlow said you were bring

For moment there was tense ST.

vainly endeavoring to conceal her emo

letter-case the photo of girl.

instructions now your position with

stopped. The room appeared to whirl

whirl. Brownlow, for once. found him
self contradicted, and his suggestions
politely, but none the less decidedly,
refused. Miss Gordon objected to be
guided.
Before the stipulated time all was
In readiness, and she would have re-
turned to the shop. But Brownlow re-
fused the permission, and. though she
was terrified at meeting her old lover,
she was forced to remain.
One morning the bell rang. Crewson
had arrived She started forward to
obey the summons, and stopped,
clutching the table for support The
bell rang again. and the little maid-of-
all-work seized the opportunity OF
showing herself at the door.
Crewson entered with Brownlow,
and made a tour Of the principal
rooms.
Yes, l am very pleased with the
house-very," she heard him say.
Everything has been done beautiful.
Iy, and reflects great credit upon the
person you put in to superintend mat.
ters. Only. unfortunately, 1t will have
to remain unoccupied for little
time"
"Indeed?"
"Yes. Things haven't turned out
quite as expected. and II you could
arrange for one of your people to act
as caretaker for few weeks, 1t would
relieve me immensely
"And"-he approached the door
you might instruct her to arrange
the few photographs and or
naments / have picked up-as she
thinks best"
The next moment he had gone, and
she sat down with mingled feelings Of
pride-Aproud satisfaction that she had
pleased him-and hopeless despair.
Two days later box arrived and
unpacking 1t, she found his photo
With stifed sob she arranged 1t con
spicuously upon cabinet. and gave
her attention to the remaining arti
| cles.
The next morning the little maid
was cleaning outside when Crewsor
appeared.
"Is the caretaker in?" he question
ed. and. receiving an Affirmative re
ply, he entered unannounced. At the
drawing room door he stopped. Tht
caretaker had her back toward him
but in her outstretched hand she was
holding his photo, and 1t seemed t
him she was scrutinizing his pictured
features with more than idle curiosity
Presently she took a silver fran,
and fixed the photograph in 1t; then
placing 1t upon the cabinet again. sh,
set beside 1t similar frame withou
a photograph.
For his wife!" she muttered sadly
and turning, she found his eyes fixet
upon her. She uttered little scream
and recovered her composure.
"Nell-you?" he questioned bewilder
ingly.
Yes" She bowed to hide her flush
ed face, and leaned heavily agains
the mantel to hide the fact that sh,
was trembling.

that surprised him. See this thing

She thanked him In broken velce
and staggered through the doorway.
At last she reached the little room
she rented. On the mantelpiece was
a photograph Of young man. whose
smiling, handsome face had cheered
her through long months of bitter
struggle. But now the smile was Q

DOORS AS AIDS TO DIGESTION.
Orientals Inhale Sweet Perfumes
After Each Meal.
From the chicaro Tribune.


Sweet scents to aid digestion are an
importation from the orient. The infiu-
snce Of odors Ii exceedingly marked. Some
people cannot remain where lilacs are IN
full bloom or bear the odor OF Jasmine.
Some are given q headache by heliotrope
or tuberose. Some are given the vertigo
or a sinking sensation by cantharides.
some are nauseated even by roses. At
tacks of real illness with long trains OF
digestive disorders following in their wake
may be brought on by odors.
The fact can be explained only as q
pathological phenomenon. says DR.. George
NJ. Niles, exerting its influence on the
most vulnerable point In the human econ
omy. the gastro-intestinal tract. AS Of
Tending scents may set in motion q train
of morbid digestive symptoms, SO. on the
contrary, those that are sweet and agree
able may exercise q highly beneficial eff
feet. The orientals have developed to a
notable degree the faculty of deriving the
most enjoyment from inhaling fragrant
odors.
The most beautiful creations pictured
in the imagination OF Mohammedans are
the hours represented In the Koran as
nymphs Of paradise, formed OF musk. who
exhale from their lovely bodies entranc-
ing perfumes 1t is the custom Of many
eastern peoples to spend after each meal
