A Fatal Mistake.
Physicians make no more fatal
mistake than when they inform pa
tients that nervous heart troubles

be had free of F. G. Fricke & Co.,
who guarantee and recommend Dr,
Miles' unequalled new Heart Cure,

and as hoou as my sister and I saw
Napoleon enter tlie dra wiu;-ruoiu we
could not restraiu our lutiuter.
At that early ae, as well an in after
life. Napoleon could not relish a joke,
and when he found himself the oljet
of merriment be was certain to become
anirry.
ily sister, who was some yearn old
er than I. said that since he worn a
sword he ou;lit to he gallant to ladies,
and, instead of leinr angry, should be
happy that thev joked with him.
"Yon are nothin;? but a child a
little pensionnaire!' said Napoleon, in
a tone of contempt.
Cecile. who was then 12 or 13 years
of age. was highly indignant at boing
called a child, and she hastily resent
ed the alTroiit by replying to Bona
parte. 'And you are uothiug hut a puss
in boots!'
This excited a general laugh among
all present, exceot Napoleon, whose
rage I will not attempt to describe.
Though not mueli accustomed to
society, he had too much tact not to
perceive that he ougiit to be iient
when personalities were introduced
aud his adversary was a child.
Though deeply inortiiied at the un
fortunate nickname which my sister
had given him, yet he affected to for
get it. and to prove that he cherished
uo malice on the subject he had a little
toy made and irave it to me. This toy
consisted of a cat iu boots, and in the
character of a footman running lefore
a carriage. It was well made, and
must have beeu rather expensive to
hiui considering his straitened circum
stances. He brought along with it a pretty
little edition of the popular tale. -Puss
iu Boots,' which he presented to my
sister, begging her to keep it as a tok'Mi
of his reuiembrauce." Youth's Com
panion. A POINTER'S GREAT LEAP.
Ha Jumped from Flying Train Artrr a
lilrri.
August Osthoff of Frankfort road
has a pointer dor that two- weeks ago
he valued at $200 at least, says the
Philadelphia Record. To-day it would
take $1,000 and more to win the aui
mal. And the reason for this jump in
value is not far to seek."
A few days ago Mr. Osthoff was
bound out of the city on the North
Pennsylvania railroad" for a gunning
trip, accompanied, as usual, by his
dog. He was sittiug by an open win
dow in the smoking car. while Count
Beaufort crouched calmly at his feet
against the side of the car. As the
train started away from Edgehill sta
tion the sportsman leaned forward to
talk to some friends in the seat ahead.
The speed of the cars was increasing
fast, when some boys that were shoot
ing blackbirds in a field near by dis
charged a gun. Count started up and
put his paws upon the window-sill.
Mr. OsthofTs friends saw the dog's in
tent eye aud ear and one of them for
fun said: "Go fetch it."
Count knew what that meant. In
an instant, before his master or friend
could move a muscle, he gave a
spring, and while the train whistled
along at a twentv-fiTe-mile-an-hour
gait went flying out of the window.
Mr. Ustnoil drew a quick breath as
he saw bis splendid hunter jump to
certain death. He leaped to bis feet
and seized the bell-rope to stop the
train. His hand was dislodged bv tbe
conductor, who said no dog would be
allowed to interfere with "schedule."
Osthoff stormed and fumed and said it
was worth $100 to him to get to his
dog at once. But argument availed
nothing, ami he was told to wait till
the next station was reached, when he
could telegraph back for tbe animal.
It was a mile and a half before tbe
next stop was made, and the sports
man alighted, expecting to walk back
and find his dog's scattered remains.
He started alonr the rails and then
stood amazed. Three hundred yards
down tbe track, like a snooting ray of
sunshine, something was scudding
toward him. The stretch was covered
in a few instants, and there at his feet
panted Count, bis tail wagging, and in
his mouth the blackbird that was
brought down by the boy sportsman's
gun. Count knew nis business, ami so
does his master now. That dog can't
be bought for love or money.
Not in Stock.
Fair Customer: "I live in tbe
suburbs, and I want a watchdog."
Dealer: Yes, mum." ' But of course
1 don't want one that wiil keep us
awake all night barking at nothing."
No, mum." "He must be big, and
strong, and tierce, you know." "Yes,
mum." "Yet as gentle as a lamb with
us, you know." "Yes, mum." "And
he roust pounce on every brutal tramp
that comes along, and drive him off."
"Yes. mum." "But he musn't inter
fere with any poor but honest man
looking for work." "No. muni." "If
a burglar comes prowliug around at
night, the dog should make mincemeat
of him in an instant." "Yes. mum."
But he mustu't attack a neighbor who
drops in for an evening call." "No.
D;nm." "And of course he mustn't
molest people who come hurrying iu
at all hours of the uight to call my
husband. He's a doctor, you know."
"No, mum. I see what you want. You
want a mind-reader dog." "Yes, I
suppose so. Can you send me one?"
"Very sorry, mum, but I'm just out of

BUYING A NAG.
Wonli of fanilnn ti that Uninitiated la

In cr"o you have fully and lirmly

' fn.fi. It may shock you to lm
to. d that there are many leasoim why
j 011 should try a hito hote. but wail
and cce. In the lirst place, the boy
who takes cure of him bus lo put in
more work for his wage, and thul'an
rebate for you. lu the next, you can
tee him out driving on a dark night,
wi.ereas you couldn't tell whether 11
black horse was iu front or behind
you. Thirdly, if you happen lo go out
to the burn of a night your white horse
ib-liiies his position, whereas you are
quite liable to blunder up against the
h els of a black one and gel hurt. If
you are driving around town your
white horse can be Keen a mile nwny,
ami the ambulance. lire engines, brick,
and ice wagons can get ready lo turn
into the side Htreets and avoid being
run down. Lastly, you can wear any
colored socks ami hiispeiidern whila
driving a white horse and always com
bine harmony and effect. Whenever
you see a man with a blue m et i driv
ing a sorrel pacer you may be sure
that he knows uotbiug about harmouy
of dress.
Do not advertise your wants, but
casually mention to some fr'u-nd that if
he hears of something extra good and
cheap he might mention it though you
are iu no hurry to buy. It will sur
prise you to lind out bow many good
things your friend knows of in the way
of horseflesh, and how anxious he is to
do you a kindness. Tin) lirst horse will
be around lo your bouse iu exactly
twenty-live minutes.
Don't get the idea that everybody in
town wants to sell his nag. No more
than one-half of the horses will be sent
around to you.
The lirst. point to settle is the price.
You are willing to pav 200. Kvery
man with a horse is willing to sell for
$250, which is of course a sacrifice of
at least $50 011 his part. It is a sad
thing to see a man have to knock off
$50 from the actual value of the best
family horse in the world, but you are
not advised to shed any tears over it.
In the course of an hour, if you ex
hibit proper lirmuess and indifference,
you can beat him down to your figure
Yon feel that you are robbing bint and
that it is a mean action on your part,
but feelings don't count in buying a
horse.
Now, first examine the animal's
mouth. If there are any tenpenny
nails between his teeth or ho has a
piece of bootleg laid away alongside of
his cheek for a quid he's a hearty feeder
and all right. The black spots on the
teeth indicate the horse's age. If there
are only three then he is a 3-year-old.
If there are sixty then be is a CO-year-old.
The eyes come next. Be sure that
his sight is all right and that be .won't
take a dancing bear or a minstrel
parade for a load of ew hay coming
to town from Taylor township. The
best way to test a horse's visio.i is to
stand oil' with a piece of board and
make as if you would hit bim across
the nose.
The feet have considerable to do with
a horse, as he is popularly supposed to
walk around on them. Look out for
quarter-cracks, half-cracks, and whole
cracks. Don't pay as much for a
quarter-crack as a whole one. The
frog of the foot should be located
somen here uear Ihe center iu a good
Lor su.
Then U-. k f r ivu-jbotie and spavins.
Take the chances thiil the other fel
low doesn't know any more than you
do about it. and look around the leg"
instead of the head sind neck. It will
be best to lirid some, or something to
make bun beiieve that you are not a
grceuhorn. lticn a-k the 1 olio wing
cues! iouf-:
"Has he ever been pick?"
No."
"Docs be crib?"
"No."
"Does he kick?"
Never."
"Has he ever run away?"
"You couldn't scare him into such
thing."
"Will be stand?"'
"Like a rock."
"Afraid of anything?"
"Nothing on earth."
"What's his best record?"
"2:21."
"Can my wife drive him?"
'Right up to an elephant if she
wants to."
"How is he on shoes?"
"Say! 1 was going to speak to you
about that. He only needs shoeing
twite a year. Never saw a horse bo
easy on shoes."
"Looks bke a heavy feeder."
But be isn't. Six quarts of oat
and a pinch of hay will keep bim roll
ing fat." 1
"Then you guarantee bim all
around?"
"I do. If there's one single thing
wrong with that horse I don't know
it."
"Well. I guess I'll take him."
And he turns out to be just as good
a horse as if you had gone out to a
pasture some night, shut your eyea.
and flung a stone, and cried out that
you'd take the nag the missile fell
nearest to.
Lake Palmyra is a part of the Miss
issippi River at high water, but at
present its bottom is dry. with a thin
upper crust of dry earth and a deep
lower layer of soft mud. A half-witted
negro who tried to walk across to au
island broke through tbe crust. In
one day be 6ank to the waist, and ia
two days to the neck. Ou the night
of the second day he was pulled out.
Farmers on tbe Pacific coast are in
terested in a discussion of tbe useless
ness or usefulness of a pig's tail. One
side argues that it is as useless as the
letter p in pneumonia. The other side
asserts that tbe tail indicates the exact
physical condition of the animal. If
it hang loose, it indicates that the pig
is not in condition and that its feed
should be changed. If it bo coiled
tightly, it indicates contentment and
cood health.
