HERE AND THERE.
LI'
lP in Omaha Sunday the police
gathered in a fly young man and a
giddy younc girl who were enjoying a
ride down Farnam street behind a real
racy nag. That is, the police pot the
boy, but the cirl escaped. She was
too fast for Michael Angelo. the cup
per, and went from him like water
f rom a duck. Why do younc men and
sweet thir.es like this girl seems to be,
do these kinds of acts 'i It takes much
pood hard coin of the realm to indulge
in this kind of sport, and. in addition.
it does not improve the reputation of
either the man or the woman, especi
ally the latter. A cirl can ticket her
self straight through to sheol quicker
than she ever thought lor, by making
a tew breaks of this kind, no matter
how respectable she may be, and the
sooner the cirls discover this the bet
ter it is for them. If they w.int to
buggy-ride, let m ride, bul iLt don t
want to swell up and think they are
sports unless they mean to be. When
they get once started upon the crooked
road there is very seldom a turn. It
is a long lane, dark and terrible, and
its inception i? often found in these
wild rides, began in jest but endiDgin
damnation.

To the afflicted:
Several years ago I discovered a
slight falling and bleeding of the lower
bowel which increased and became
very distressing. I made inquiry as
tothe nature of the disease and learned
that I had a somewhat aggravated case
of Hemorrhoids or Piles. Was told of
several remedies and used them as di
rected, obtaining thereby some tem
porary relief. Not being satisfied with
such slight relief I cast about for a per
manent cure; when a friend directed
the use of tbe famous Magnet Pile
Killer. I used it. Immediate relief
from pain followed, and soon a com
plete cure was affected.

Cab fluw In Euro i.
1 found cab hire cheapest, by nranlo
ipal regulation, in Naples, where 70
centimes, or 14 cents, transports yon be
tween two city points. Foartcen cents
acquit?, but 14 cents does net satisfy. It
is not easy in Italy to give pecuniary
Fatisf action to both parties to a bargain.
The Neapolitan cab, like the Parisian,
liie others that I remember cn the con
tinent, is four wheeled, and in the case
of Naples high and uncomfortable. In
Rcme the tariff for a single run is 80
centimes, cr 1G cents, none too high, it
eeems to me. Berlin differentiates its
cash, assorting them in classes, first and
second, and distinguishing them by the
color of their drivers' coats and collars
and also in the cabs' outfits. So the
minimum charge in Berlin for a first
class cab is 1 mark, or 24 cents, and for
a second class GO pfennigs, or about 15
ctmts.
In Germany only did I find a peram
bulating court of appeals as an organia

Has Blacklisted Insanity
The following story is told cf John
Brennan of Stevens Point as u criminal
lawyer. Tbo story goe3 that a farmer
who had killed his wife in the northern
part of the state sent for Mr. Brennan
to defend him, offering to deed him his
farm if ho would take the case. Bren
nan wanted his pay in advance, and so
the farmer made over the property to
him. The murder was a most brutal and
cold blooded one, and Brennan knew
that there was but one plea that might
save his client from a life sentence, and
that was insanity. Tha trial was one of
the fiercest ever fought in a Wisconsin
court. The attorney for the defense oc
cupied a whole day in his closing ad
dress to the jury, and the effort was a
masterly one. The jury found the man
insane, and ho was sent to Oshkosh.
Once there he improved rapidly and in
a few weeks was discharged. His first
ect was to sue Brennan for the recovery
of his prcprcty, on the ground that he
was insane at the time he deeded it. In
the fact of his own argument that the
xnan was insane Brennan could do
nothing, and the farmer won his case.
Brennan has blacklisted insanity as a
defense fcr murderers. Milwaukee

A "Remedy For a Cold.
At the beginning of a cold it is very
good to put the feet in a capsicum foot
bath, wetting the head and face well
with cold water. At the end of ten min
utes rub the knees down with cold wa
ter and dry thoroughly. A housekeeper
can easily prepare this tincture of cap
sicum herself. To one quart of vinegar
add one quarter of a pound cf red pep
per, boil slowly for 15 minutes and bot
tle for use. Add two teaspoonf uls to one
bath.
When there is danger of a cold Eet
tling on the lungs, make a lotion of on
part peppermint oil and two parts of
kerosene oil. Paint the parts where the
pain is located with this lotion. Lay a
fold of flannel over and apply a hot wa
ter bag fcr 10 or 15 minutes. This rem
edy is especially good for pain in the
back of the head and neck, soreness and
tightness of the chest between the shoul
ders. St. Louis Post-Dispatch.
