 Arnold drew a very long breath and then got up. Boys" he said as the eounellmen trooped down stairs, T need something to steady my nerves. I never knew I had any until to- night"
 Some of the other gentlemen thought they'd take some, too, whether they needed it or not.
 It was two days after the council meeting that Arnold had a call. It resulted in a firm offer of $20o0 for bis franchise. Arnold told the visitor not to bother him again unless he was ready to talk in five figures.
 That same day another gentleman representing an independent company visited him. He offered S3000. Between November 27 and December 1 Arnold s popularity seemed to increase steadily. On December ], late in the evening he became impatient.

mold promised-12 free telephones for the city government, 3S 1-3 per cent reduction in rates, the most improved of telephone devices, etc.-they could see no reason why the franchise should not be granted at once.
 Arnold favored speed. He was most decidedly in favor of it, but there were some regulations that had to be observed. The franchise had to be read at one meeting before 1t could be voted on at the next.
 The reading of the franchise evidently did not pass unnoticed, because a day or two later a gentleman arrived in Stoner from Chicago, and, after consultation with the local telephone manager, went to interview the various councilmen. He was a clever gentlemen, was that visitor from Chicago. He could not quite size town many hours before some of the councilmen were asking embarrassing questions of MT. Arnold. They wished to know more about the wonderful au- tomatic phones he proposed to introduce, and the extent to which the big company he represented was going to spread it's system.
 MT. Arnold asked the fourteen coun- cilmen to do him the honor to be his guests on a trip to Chicago. They were delighted. It meant an excursion, with plenty to eat and drink and not a cent to fa h; and Arnold put through as clever a bluff as he ever worked in his life. He took them through big Chicago exchange and told them that was the automatic system he proposed to install. He made the councilmen think this was part of his system he was showing and he made the telephone people think the visitors were investors studying the Chicago sys- tenn in order to introduce it elsewhere.
 Arnold had to draw rather literally on his skinflint friend to meet the expenses of that Chicago trip. It is wonderful how much perfectly normal men can eat and drink and smoke and find to enter tain them when some one else is paying the freight. That butchers appetite was remarkable, and considering that he could not hear a word of what was being said on the stage 1t was surprising how much that wheelwright enjoyed the the atres.
 That Chicago trip was so gloriously successful that Arnold wrote a highly enthusiastic letter to the money shark. Ducey, too, felt perfectly at ease He was proud of Arnold, and rather proud of himself. They went 10 the council meet ing with the knowledge that they had done their work well, but when the fran

 Arnold did not enjoy life the next few days. If at the next meeting Of
 the council the franchise was not ve- toed it became effective. The council chamber was over the engine house. It was on a cold night that the coun- ell met, but Arnold did not notice it. In fact he perspred freely. He had a premonition that the whole thing
 was going to fail that the mayor was going to veto.
 Half way up the stairs he got tired and sat down. There he remained throughout the session. A councilman
 whose sincere regard he had won bad been prompted to move to adjourn inn mediately after the meeting convened and to renew the motion as often as feasible.
 The councilman did so at the first opportunity and the motion was de- feated 13 to 1.
 Time after time when some business had been disposed of the motion was renewed, only to be defeated by the same shocking vote. Arnold's sufferings increased. Then a councilman asked, 'Is there any message from the mayor?" "Yes," replied the city clerk. Arnold gasped.

CHEAP TOBACCO IN MEXICO
No Internal Revenue and Leaf Grown
 Very Freely

From the New York Sun.
 'The cheapness of tobacco in Mexico" said the man who had been there lis almost the first thing upon which the vis- itor remarks. He canont understand how it is possible to get an excellent cigar for , cents 'Mex.,' which is 21h cents in our money, but when he decides to try one at that price he finds that it is every bit as good as the average 10 cents straight smoke in New York.
 "The explanation lies in the fact that the Mexican government does not collect internal revenue domestic tobacco. | Production is free as far as any tax is concerned, and the leaf grows so abfnd- antly that prices on the manufactured article are kept down to an inconsiderable figure.
 The cigarette is, of course, the favor- ite form in which the Mexican uses to- bacco. The very best brands cost only 10 cents American for a box of ten, while an excellent cigarette can be obtained at , cents. The boxes are gorgeous affairs, usually bearing a picture in glaring col ors of the bull ring or of some stage fa- vorite. The florid Latin taste in such things extends even to the paper in which the cigarettes are rolled. It is seldom white or plain brown but it is of a mar bled pattern in gray, brown or lavender. 'The peons smoke a very cheap brand, which retails at cents Mex for two packs, containing ten each. These are very crude. In the first place, the to- bacco that goes to make them Is not put through any curing process. It is sun dried, and is offered to the consumer in the form of brittle and somewhat flavor less sections of leaf. The cigarettes are rolled in coarse paper, which is not even Cummed down, twist at each end being sufficient to keep the tobacco together.
 Tn order to protect the domestic prod uet, the government places an altogether prohibitive duty on foreign tobacco. A 5-cent bag of cheap American smoking mixture costs the equivalent of 15 cents in Mexico. The duty is cents an ounce, as evidenced by revenue stamp that has 10 be affixed to each package. Foreign cigars run so high that no one thinks of using them.

The Treatment for Frostbites

From the Youths Companion.
 Although intended primarily for ex- irene cases, the treatment of frostbites as practiced in the United States life saving service will be found. with the exception of the fifth rue as effective for frosted ear as for apparent death from cold. Below is the treatment as rec commended by the surgeon general of the marine hospital service:
 l. Do not bring the patient to the fire or bathe the parts in warm water
 2. If snow be on the ground, or acces- sible, take wooden cloth in the hand, place a handful of snow upon it, and gently rub the frozen part until the nat ural color is restored In case snow is not at hand, bathe the part gently with wooden cloth in the coldest fresh water obtainable-ice water if practicable.
 }. In case the frostbte is old, and tEe skin has turned black or begun to scale off, do not attempt to restore it's vitality by friction, but apply carron oil on u little cotton, after which wrap the part loosely in flannel.
 Tn all cases, as soon as the vitality has been restored, apply the carron oil, prepared according to service formula. As it contains opium, do not administer morphia or other opiate.
 D. In the case of a person apparently dead from exposure to cold, friction should be applied to the body and The lower extremities, and artificial respira- tion practiced as in cases of the appar- ently drowned. As soon as the circula- tion appears to be restored administer a stmuant at intervals of 15 or 20 min utes, until the flesh feels natural Even if no signs of life appear, friction should be kept up for q long period. as in stances are on record of recovery after several hours of suspended animation
 Carron oil is thus prepared: Olive oil or linseed oil (raw), 12 parts; limewater 12 parts; tincture of opium, 1 part. Mix.

 The visitor considered a half min ute and then accepted
 Arnold got his S12,000 and proceeded to Chicago. There he paid S6000 to the old skinflint. My boy" said the old fellow as he took the bills, you've kept your word. It's a month to the day.

 Cant you postpone it?" asked the money lender.

remember an amusing illustration of the difference in prices that a custom house can impose. At Nogales, a border town, there is an international street, one side of which is in Arizona and the other in sonora. On the Mexican side there is a tobacco store, where one can obtain an excellent brand of cigar at cents apiece. Immediately opposite is an American store, which displays few boxes of the identical cigar at b cents. It is done to attract attention, as no one would dream of buying his Mexican smokes in Arizona, but the fact remains that in order to make a profit the American dealer has to charge 10 cents for an article that can be obtained for one-third the price not 20 yards away"

Cure For ConStipati0n--Trial Free

Constipation is not an imaginary ailment. You know whether you have 1t or not. No one can argue you into 1t or out of 1t. By the same token, if you take a remedy and 1t cures you. you must be con- vinced that 1t was the remedy that did 1t. Here are some people who give pr. Caldwelps Syrup Pepsin the credit of curing their constipa- tion-a credit that Is important when you consider how many pre- vious attempts they had made with other remedies. Syrup Pepsin IS the recognized peer of all laxatives It Is not only a substitute for salts and purgatlves, but, by It's milder. more scientific action. has done much to lessen their use. It Is the best remedy you can buy for your self and family for any stomach, liver or bowel trouble. All drug- of them at fifty cents and one. dollar large bottle. If you want 10 test 1t first send your address to pr. Caldwell and he will furnish you a free sample bottle for home trial. Between these testimonials and tho offer of free sample bot tie you ought to begin the use of Syrup Pepsir without delay.
