found that instead of a nickel his small
customer had given a $5 gold piece.

Thrifty ConvlcU.
Recently a convict , a short term man ,
left the state prison In Nashville the
happy possessor of ? l.r > 0 which ho had
earned and wived during his sentence.
There are several ways by which such
BiiniH may be laid aside by the un
fortunates who nre compelled to labor
n certain amount of the time for others
whether they will or no.
The various factories operating pris
oners frequently pay out an aggregate
of $400 or $500 a month to convicts for
extra work done after the prescribed
amount has been performed. Other
convicts devote their superfluous tlmo
to the manufacture of canes. Still oth
ers during the time when the men are
nt liberty In the wings turn storekeep
ers , keeping In their cells small stocks
of cukes and plea which are sold to
their fellow prisoners.
In the mines n favored occupation

One of these carvings came to the gov
ernor's office In the shape of a paper
weight. It Is fashioned to represent a
pocket Bible and IH an excellent Imita
tion. By the sale of these curios to
visitors as souvcnlru some of the more

"All well all happy lots
of fun" . That is the regular
report from the monkey cage
ff Bnrnum's Circus ever since
'he keepers began dosing the
monkeys with Scott's Emul-
? .ion. Consumption was carry
ing off two thirds of them
every year and the circus had
to buy new ones.
One day a keeper accident
ally broke a bottle of Scott's
Emulsion near the monkey
-age and the monkeys eagerly
appcd it up from the floor.
This suggested the idea that it
r'rht do them good. Since
ien the monkeys have received
pillar doses and the keepers
port very few deaths from
> : -.sumption. Of course it's
Reaper to buy Scott's Emul-
ion than new monkeys and
hat suits the circus men.
Consumption in monkeys
\nd in man is the same disease.
f you have it or are threaten
ed with it can you
take the hint ? |
This picture represents
the 1 rade Mark of Scott's
Emulsion and is on the
wrapper of every bottle.
