FORTABLE TAILOR SHOP.
Proprittor Moves It From Place to Place
by the Aid of a Trolley Car.
Belleville, N. J., is about to lose its
most unique, place cf business, which
was one of the Elraugest in the state
About six mentis ago Otto Neck, a
German tailor, had, a clircussion vrith
his landlord. The discussion ended, tho
landlord says, at least as far as ho was
concerned, when Nack chased him out
of his place by trying to stab him witb
a pair of big tailor's shears.
Hack jwas as sick of landlords as this
particular landlord was sick of him and
invented a place of business which
earned him -free advertising and good
business for a time. From the traction
company he purchased two old hcrse
cars. These were run off tha tracks to a
vacant lot, and Hack hung out his sign
and began bnsiuess.
Business has been slack of late, and
the tailor took down his signs and
Elammed the doors shot with a bang
more vicious than any old time con
ductor on a recent hot day. He set off
on a tour of the railroad lines in search
cf fields and pastures new. He found
them somewhere, for the two old cars
are to be dragged on the tracks and
hitched to a trolley and will again spin
aloug4 the rails "to their new location,
where they will be shunted off on an
other vacant lot, and their owner will
resume business.
When the new field is worked out,
the store and residence will "have an
other flying trip, their owner proposing
to keep up this mode of life until he
finds a town whose people are 60 poorly
clad that they will need his services
permanently. Theu the wheels will le
taken from the old cars, and they will
be allowed to rest for good. New York

Preacher Alexander Williamson -was
delivering an impassioned exhortation
at the colored camp meeting at Quarry
ville, Pa., the other night, when San
ders Richardson, a well known character
of that rcgiou, who had been to Lan
caster during the day and had bought a
jugful of whisky, started to take up a
collection on his own account.
The Rev. Mr. Williamson stopped
short in his sermon and asked Richard
son to desist. Sanders ignored the re
quest and declared he had come to camp
meeting locking for trouble. The Rev.
Mr. Williamson closed the Bible, walk
ed down fiom the pulpit, and undertook
to coudnct Richardson from the place.
Tho brethren and sisters kept up an
almost continual shouting while the
parson made his way toward Richard
con. "Just you keep quiet," said the
preacher. Then he grabbed Richardson
and administered to him a most thor
ough and artistic thrashing. When the
thrashing was over, Richardson was
unconscious. Tho leader of the choir, a
man weighing 250 pounds, picked up
Richardson aud handed him over to a
constable, who had been attracted by
tho noise. Then the Rev. Mr. William
son fiuifhed his seiuicn as if nothing
had happened to interrupt the service.

They are all Mohammedans, and there
is just a chance that all the other trihes
will become involved. If they do, there
will be a long and bitter struggle. The
Mohammedans stick together with re

revolt spreads any farther England will
have to send her entire military force

Mr. William Walpole, of Val-htown,
South Dakota, writes; "About
three years ago, there came under
my left eye a little blotch about the
size of a small pea.
It grew rapid iy, and
shooting pains ran
in every direction.
I became alarmed
and consulted a
good docto, who
pronounced it can
cer, and said that it
must be cut out.
This I would not
consent to, having
little faith in the
indiscriminate use of the knife. Read
ing of the many cures made by S. S.
S., I determined to give that medicine
a trial, and after I had taken it a few
days, the cancer became irritated and
began to discharge. This after awhile
ceased, leaving a small bo.' which
finaUy dropped off, and only u. healthy
little scar remained to mark place
where the destroyer had held f " II s'way.
