Mr. John Peterson , of Patoutville , La ,
was very agreeably surprised not long
ago. For eighteen months he had been
troubled with dysentery and had tried
three of the best doctors in New Orleans ,
besides half a dozen or more patent med
icines , but received very little relief.
Chamberlain's Colic , Cholera and Diar
rhoea ! Remed } ' , having been recom
mended to him , he gave it a trial and to
his great surprise , three doses of that
remedy effected a permanent cure. Mr.
Win. McNauiara , a well known mer
chant of that same place , is well ac
quainted with Mr. Peterson and attests
to the truth of this statement. This rem

Abe Married Him.
"The most amusing nuptial event I
ever officiated at , " said good old Squire
Hiram Gate to a representative of the
Louisville Post , "the marrying magis
trate of the Pennyrile , " now dead ,
"was in the winter of 1871. I was
awakened one cold night about midnight
by vigorous knocking on my front door.
I went to the window and by the light
of the moon could see two forms on my
front porch. I raised the window and
asked what was wanted. A woman of
the backwoods type answered in about
this language : 'Why , hit's us. Jim an
mo wants to git hitched. ' I hurried
down and on opening the door found a
poorly clad , finnicky looking man of
about 40 , led by a deterimnod looking
woman of perhaps 30. I cold see that
the female wus the business part of the
procession and addressed myself to her ,
asking why they bad ohnseu such a late
hour for their'hitching affair. ' This
was the reply , in quick , snappy sen
tences : 'Why , hit's this way. Jim
Owens is bin a-sparkiu uv of me , I
'low , for fo' yeres , an I got fetched tired
uv his mincin wurds , so tuk an ast him
tonite , I him , I did , I 'pected him
'votedly , an ef he wanted me to cum
on an le's git j'iued tonite , er I wuz
gwine to take Fletch Boggess1 boy ,
Hez , an settle down. Jiin 'lowed he did
ho reckiued he'd cum , though it wuz
a long trip. So I took an fetched him
in pap's mill waggiu. Didn't I , Jim ? '
Jim nodded a doleful assent. In answer
ing the questions I put to the groom in
the ceremony the brawny better uiue-
tenths gave the bashful spouse about
the cue , and she paid me a half dollar ,
taking the money from Jim's pocket-
book. It beat any wedding I ever wit
nessed , I think. "
A Ilasty Judgment.
"I hate intoxicated people , " whisper
ed a good looking youug lady to a com
panion on one of the Larimer avenue
cars the other evening. A mun had
boarded the car at Atwood street. Ho
staggered along the aisle and finally
managed to get hold of a strap , to which
he clung in order to steady himself.
"You're right , " answered the one ad
dressed ; "tho conductors ought to keep
them off the cars. "
Meanwhile the man was changing his
hold on the strap from one hand to the
other. He looked down , with his eyes
half closed , and when some of the pas
sengers wanted to leave the car ho seem
ed to pay no attention to them , for he
did not move out of their way. At the
Larimer avenue bridge the car came tea
a stop. The man seemed to realize that
he was at his destination , for while he
had not motioned to the conductor ho
began to go toward the door. The con
ductor helped him out'and after seeing
him safely on the sidewalk returned to
his car. Turning to a passenger who
had been an interested spectator , he
said : "Isn't it a pity to be blind ? Thai
gentleman lives in the house on the cor
ner , and I take him home every even
ing. "
The two young ladies looked at eacl :
other in embarrassment , for the con
ductor had spoken loud enough for ev
erybody in the car to hear him. Pitts-
burg Chronicle-Telegraph.
Human Magiiets.
Experiments made recently by scien
tific men in France , says the London
Standard , have developed a somewhat
curious and unexpected fact namely ,
that certain persons possess a magnetic
polarity that is , they are found to act
after the manner of magnets , having
in fact , north and south poles. In such
a case the individual , on being com
pletely undressed and placed near a sen
sitive galvanometer , will , when turned
on a vertical axis , cause a deflection ,
first in one direction and then in the op
posite , just as a magnet will do. It is
not assumed that all persons possess this
polarity , but in the case of Professor
Murani , an Italian , upon whom the ex
periment was tried , the phenomenon
was unmistakably exhibited , it being
found that his breast corresponded to a
north pole and his back to a south pole.
A Question of Trimming.
Shortly after the war a Confederate
vetern visiting a northern city observed
on a street corner a cripple who was
without legs and arms , which he had
lost , according to the sign , in the "late
war. " The Confederate at once gave
him a quarter and passed on , only to
come back and give him another. A
second , third , fourth and fifth time the
donor returned , giving the cripple a
quarter each time until the latter asked
the reason for this unusual generosity.
"Why , " replied the Confederate ,
"you're the first one of those d d
fellers in blue I have seen trimmed up
to suit my taste. " New York Post.
The Welsh Rabbit.
Those who have accepted the incon
sistent name of Welsh rabbit for toast
ed cheese on the assumption that it is a
corruption of Welsh "rarebit" will
have to revise their view. According to
u writer in Macmillan's Magazine ,
"Welsh rabbit is a genuine slang term
belonging to a large group which de
scribe in the same humorous way the
special dish or product of a peculiar dis
trict. For examples , an Essex lion is a
calf ; a Fieldlaue duck is a baked sheep's
bead ; Glasgow magistrates or Noriolk
capons are red herrings ; Irish apricots
or Munster plums are potatoes ; Graves-
end sweetmeats are shrimps. "
Floating ; I'ogs.
"Floating bogs" are found in the
Lake of the Woods and other waters of
Minnesota. The bogs nourish a large
auraber of plants , shrubs and even small
trees , as well as little animals. They
irif t about with the winds , and some
times get caught in sheltered coves ,
svhere they remain and become fixed to
: he bottom.

HOW SHE DID IT.
Girl Cashier1 * Mind Reading : Methods of
Making Change.
The girl cashier of a Madison street
restaurant was for three weeks believed
by one of tne customers to bo a lineal
descendant of Morgan lo Fay and to
have some of the family traits of Heller ,
the second sight magician , for shp
seemed to know by intuition or instinct
or something else what was the price of
the meal he bad consumed and also just
the amount of money in bis hand when
he approached to pay. He first noticed
that when he presented a 85 cent check
she immediately laid upon the rubber
mat a dime and a nickel which she had
been holding for change.
"How , " this man inquired of him
self , "did she know that 15 cents would
be the correct chungc'r There was no
earthly way for her to tell what money
I was going to offer her either. How
did she come to have the exact change
ready without a second's delay or with
out having to go to the cash register for
it ? * He could not answer to his own
satisfaction.
The next day the bought a 45 cent
meal , and she promptly laid a nickle
before him , the 5 cent piece being the
only coin she held in her hand. It was
the correct amount , as ho gave her a
half dollar. He experimented several
times afterward and at last appealed to
her for information.
"Why , " fihe said , "didn't you ever
notice the tint of your check ? " When I
see you coming 20 feet away , I know
by the slate colored check that you have
eaten 20 cents' worth. If you have a
red ticket , that warns me that you want
to pay for a two bit meal. A blue one
means 30 cents. This yellow one is , of
course , for 40 cents. The amount is
printed upon the check , but the color
is my warning. "
"Yes , " said the other , somewhat re
lieved , "that seems easy. But still my
money is not of different colors. How
do you know what change to have
ready ? That's mind reading , sure. "
"Not at all. When you como with a
quarter ticket , you will usually give mo
the exact change or half a dollar. I
have a quarter ready for you in my left
hand in case you give me a half. Sup
pose your ticket is a 35 cent one ; you'll
either give me the correct amount or a
half dollar or perhaps a dollar. With
15 cents in one hand and 50 cents in
the other I'm ready for any demonstra
tion almost. " Chicago Record.
THE GAME OF HIS LIFE.
Showing : One's Varying View of Golf aS He
Plays Well or 111.
On the links of the Island Golf club
at Garden City , N. Y. , two men were
having a hot game , with success about
even. They were good friends and com
plimeuted each other on their gobri
shots and looked the other way after r
foozle. Just as the younger one stepped
upon the tee to drive off for the sixtl
hole a very swagger cart came spinning
, up the road that crosses the links near
that tee. A stunning young woman was
driving. She pulled up sharply near the
tee and called out to the man about to
drive :
"George , dear , won't you come houio
now and not delay luncheon ? "
The man straightened up with an air
of disgust at the interruption and re
plied :
"Not now. I'm playing the game of
my life. "
"I wish you'd come , " she said.
"No , not now , " ho answered. . "I'm
playing too well. I wouldn't quit this
for 40 luncheons. I'm breaking my rec
ord by ten storkes. "
"Well , I'll drive up and down here
and wait for you , " she said.
As she started off George , dear , turned
to continue the game of his life. He
sliced his drive and lost the ball in the
blackberry bushes in the ravine. He
dropped a new ball and lost one stroke.
Then he topped the ball on the niblick
shot out of the whir and didn't gain
three feet. Finally he got out with
seven and was bunkered in the road
that crosses the field. There ho lost two
more strokes and the rest of his temper.
Finally he got out of the bunker and
with a beautiful lie used his brasseyfor
a three-quarters iron and overshot the
hole by 50 yards into the tall grass.
There the ball was lost.
Ten minutes later the swagger cart
was spinning down the road at the top
speed of the horse , the stunning young
woman sitting very erect and statu
esque and driving with superb skill. In
the back of the cart , with his heels dan
gling and brandishing two golf clubs ,
eat George , dear.
The game of his life was over. New
