There Was Nothing So Good for

as Mustard

But the old-fashoned mustard-plastcr

can now get the relief and help that
mustard plasters gave, without the plas-

MUSTEROLE does it. 1t is a clean,

that it works wonders, and yet does not
blister the tenderest skin.
Just massage MUSTEROLE in with

it brings relief-how speedily the pain
disappears.

SARATOGA TRUNK is
DISAPPOINTMENT TO
AUCTION PURCHASER
"UnCle Jim" Tells of Cruel Joke
on High Bidder on Unclaimed
Baggage; Crowd Thought VIC
tim Had Drawn Prize Package

J. A. Finney, popularity known as
Uncle jim" conducted a sale Of I'M
claimed baggage, last Saturday, at the
Ell Paso q Southwestern depot Under
the capable auctioneering Of Uncle
Jim" the baggage was disposed of at
a much larger aggregate figure than
had been hoped for by the railroad
people. Packages commanded prices
ranging from % cents to "a and
trunks were sold at anywhere from IS
to So. In connection with the sale
of these latter Uncle Jim" reports
an incident which had it's humorous
aspect for everybody but the person
most directly involved
1t seems that as the sale was draw
ing TO "a close, everything had been
disposed of with exception of the Sar-
atoga trunk, rather impressive in ap-
pearance ON account of its large size
In inspecting the trunk, Uncle Jim"
noticed that the lock had been tam
pered with and the contents removed.
However, he did not consider that il
was up to him" to comment on that
fact Accordingly he proceeded with
the sale. The crowd thought the
trunk was a real prize package" and
the bidding waXed fast and furious
but, at length, the trunk and its sup
posed contents were knocked down"
to man at the price Of $3.50
AS the fortunate CD buyer stepped
forward to examine his purchase and,
incidentally survey its contents, the
crowd which was as curious as crowds
usually are, surged forward and clus-
tered about the Saratoga to see what
rich booty might await the successful
bidder With due ceremony that
gentleman pulled open the lid of the
trunk, his eager gaze to be confronted
only-by vacuity To the lasting
shame of the crowd, yet i'm respect to
truth, it must be chronicled that the
onlookers broke into loud outlaws.
AS for the successful" bidder, so
great was his chagrin that he went
away, leaving the trunk to whomever
might care enough for it to carry it
away. The trunk is still there.
