ALARMING DISCOVERY.

Virginia the other night in demon- strating that imagination plays large part in the life of every man.
 One afternoon, according to the story told by the Congressman, Un- cle Josh and Cousin Hez met at the corner grocery, and after comparing | notes on crops and San Jose scale, the topic turned to personal health.
 "As fer me- said Uncle Josh, Il have been feelin' fair ter mddlin. How have you been yerself?'
 "Purty poorly, Josh" answered Hez, with a prolonged sigh. "1 was feelin' all right day or so ago, but jes' now I seem ter have symptoms of rheumatiz, lumbegger, dyspeepsy, ringworm, bronkeetus an some more things thet I kaint remember"
 "Ye don't mean it, Hez" sympa- thetically responded Josh. "What in their thunderation hev ye been doln' ter yerself?'
 "Nothin', Josh," replied Hez, "cept readin' a new almanac thet the drug gist jes' sent me. Philadelphia Tel egraph.
 q see in the papers that the prince of Wales got a call-down from King George for endorsing note and get ting stung for $2,5O0," said the Head Barber.
 That's nothing" said the Mani- cure Lady. "Lots of princes has got stung for endorsing notes, and they wasn't all princes of royal blood, eith- CT. I seen that same piece in the pa per, but it was quite while ago. Gee' George, I'll bet he felt awful bad when the king of England bawled him out. A kings anger must be ter rible to behold. That's what the his torical novel tells, anyhow
 q don't see how king can be any madder at his son for monkeying with endorsed notes than any dad IS with his boy" said the Head Barber. "A man can only get about so mad without getting apoplexy. A king can't call you down no harder than Paddy the Pig. There is only so many words in the English language, and a roughneck can say them as loud and as often as a king |
 "Yes, there is good deal in that agreed the Manicure Lady. You re- member when I lost my purse last week, George was just as mad as a human being could be when l seen I had lost it. No king could have been madden I could have bit the head off anybody that said l mis- placed it, until I found it and knew I had been carless. Oh, well, what is money, anyhow? Why should the king of England be sore at his son? The kids grandfather was the same sort of a sport. He was more than king, George, that Edward man. He was regular guy. He knew more about the value of money than people thinks he did. He knew so much about the value of money that he knew it didn't have no great value at all. He had friends that was rich and friends that was DOT, and he would stick to friend that was DOT just as surely as he would walk away from pest that was rich.
 "Wilfred says that he would have did the same as the young prince of Wales did, only it wouldn't do the poor kid no good to endorse $2,5O0 note. It makes an awful difference whose name is on the back of piece of paper, George; it ain't the color of the ink or the penmanship or the pen it was wrote with But I didn't have the heart to tell Wilfred that he would never be able to endorse note, and I guess he don't care much for what little money he ever made, ex- cept to be happy with it. He wrote a poem yesterday and sent it to magazine and this is the copy of it: " I do not care for boundless wealth,
 Or anything it brings to me, Just so long as have my good health,
 And every songbird sings to me. The richest brewer in the land
