SPOILED A GOOD SCHEME.
~ Pete Had Only Had His Own Way II
Miuht Have Won.

Grand Central Pete was a noted
bunko steerer Of the old days, but he
could neither read nor write. Once
he fell upon hard times, and he and a
younger but equally luckless conf
dence man undertook to beat their
way on a freight train to Washington.
"A brakeman kicked them off at Tren-
ton.
1t was getting late, and neither Of
them had a cent. Across the tracks
from where they had landed was a
good looking hotel. and right next
door was an express Office. Grand
Central Pete had an idea. He went
OF the large manila envelopes such as
are used for transporting currency,
filed the envelope with pieces of
newspaper cut to the size Of bank.
notes and sealed II carefully.
Now. them" be said TO his partner,
'.you take your fountain pen and write
on the back Of that envelope $4,000.
Then We'll go over TO that hotel and
explain that we've lost our baggage.
and I'll hand this envelope to the
clerk and ask him to lock It In the
safe. He'll look at the figures on the
guys and give us room and grub un
til we can raise a stake"
The scheme sounded good TO the
younger man. He got out his pen and
obeyed orders. Grand Central Pete
took the envelope back in his hands
and examined it carefully.
Does that say $9.0O0?" he demand.
ed.
yep" said his partner.
well, 1t don't look big enough to
me-" said Pete. you'd better add on
some more of them naughts."
The younger con man protested, but
Pete would have his way and kept
after him until the educated one had
tackled on three more naughts, making
the grand total $4,000
Then Pete marched grandly over to
the hotel, registered for himself and
his friend. passed the stuffed envelope
across the desk to the clerk and called
for the bridal suit.
The clerk took one look at the en-
velope, another look at the soiled faces
and shabby apparel Of the newcomers
and rang the bell for the house
bouncer. A minute later the discom-
fitted pair were sitting on the side
walk.
Grand Central Pete raised himself
painfully and eyed his companion with
a s%cornful. angry glance.
"There, now" he shouted. II told
you you hadn't wrote enough of them
naughts!" Philadelphia Saturday

Additional State News
Livery Barn Burns

Fire broke out in a big stone barn,
owned by S. R. Thompson at Sturgis
Saturday morning shortly before one
o'clock, but was not put out until nine
livery horses were suffocated or burned
to death in their stalls. Firemen
responded promptly and worked hard,
but were unable to save anything. The
fire had burned some time before it
was discovered, giving it a big start.
The origin of the fire is supposed to
be incendiary. Thompson estimates
his loss on horses, vehicles, ETC., at
81, 200, with no insurance. About $500
damage was done to the interior of the
building. Two men who slept in the
Office barely escaped with their lives
being woke up by friends who knew
they were there.

CERTAIN RESULTS
Many. Webster Citizen Knows
How Sure They Are

Nothing uncertain about the work
of Doan's Kidney Pills in Webster.
There is plenty of positive proof of this
in the testimony of citizens. Such
evidence should convince the most
skeptical doubter. Read the following
statement:
John Sjoberg. Webster s. d., says:
-Four years ago ! had a severe attack
of kidney complaint and suffered
intensely from pains in my kidneys and
loins. The kidney secretions became
scant and painful in passage and l was
alarmed, for my condition grew 50
bad that / had to give up work. After
trying many remedies without getting
relief, Doan's Kidney Pills were
highly recommended to me and I pro-
cured a supply from the Irwin Phar-
macy. Their use brought the best of
results. The kidney disorders were
corrected and after / had used three
boxes of this remedy / was completely
cured. What is more gratifying, L
have eve had the slightest reoccur-
ance of kidney complaint"
