Interest tlio Pulrilc ,
Salem Call.
Whllo tlio journalist WAS looking ere
an assortment of brushes , a sickly look
ing and rather shabbily clad woman cami
Into the drug store nnd handed a pro
sorlptlon to the man In charge. Afto
glancing at the paper a moment , the proprietor
priotor handed it back , saying : " 1'ha
proscription Is a humbug , madam , anc
the man who sent It to you is a swindler ,
Ho knows you cannot havu it put up ir
any drug store , but will supply it hlmsoll
on the receipt from yon of so many del
lars. If you take my advice you will save
your money , for you will got nothing bul
some colored slops In return , "
"Oh , you are mistaken , sir , " replied
the woman , ' 'for 1 got this receipt from n
clergyman.1 '
"very well , madam , yon can do as
you choose , but I assure you your money
will bo thrown away. "
"Thank you , sir , but I know yon must

loft the establishment.
SCANDALOUS DECEPTIONS.
Turning to the newspaper man the
chomlst said ! * 'Tho chances are more
than even that that poor woman will
send for the stud. It is really too bad
that there seems no way to stop such
swindling. The man who wrote that so-
called proscription belongs to a class of
scoundrels who cheat the public under
the cloak of religion. It is done in this
way : An advertisement appears , gener
ally in n religious or weekly paper , to
the effect that llor. somebody or other ,
whllo prosecuting his labors as & mission
ary , discovered that a certain herb , pecu
liar to the country , was successfully em
ployed by the natives for the euro of such
n complaint. Having proved its virtues
by oxporimontlng in his own family , the
holy man is anxious to bonollt the rest of
humanity , and will Bond a proacrlption
frco of charge to nuy sufferer who applies
for it , The gudgeon bites , and in res
ponse to letters tots ; a document similar to
the ono that woman had. In it there
will bo several Ingredients correctly
given , and then ono or two Items of gib
berish , which represents the name of the
unknown herbs. In a postscript the ap
plicant is Informed that if the druggist in
his town have not yet supplied them
selves with the newly discovered herb , ho
can obtain the medicine from the writer
by forwarding $3 which is the exact cost
of making it up. In return for his coin
the sick person gets sonic powders or a
bottle of stuff that did nut coat 10 cents
to prepare. It would astonish you to
know how much money has boon wasted
In this way. If a patient rallies for a time
3r goto well through natural causes , the
praises of the missionary medicine are
mng , and fresh dupes are caught. "
"That is pretty bad , " replied the
bruBh-huntoa , "but you must acknowl
edge that the public are pretty badly
ihonsod oven when they buy their mod
el nes from the regular druggists. Why
s it that yon people charge such onor-
nous prices for things that cost yon so
ittle ? "
IEASOX KOK HIGH PRICED PHESCRHTIONS.
"For the simple reason , so far as many
) f us are concerned , that wo can't help
t. In the first place , there is no law
> rohibiting an incompetent person from
itarting a drug store , and the result is
hat many people adopt this trade where
> ro entirely ignorant of its scientific
irlnciples. They employ clerks who may
ir may n6t understand the business , so-
uro the patronage of certain physicians ,
nd are thereby assured a certain amount
if trade , which they help out by the sale
if nicknacks that have grown to bo a
egltimato branch of a druggist's stock.
t is a shame that these ignoramuses
hould bo allowed to gull the public ; and ,
specially ao , as it is done with the con-
livanco of the doctors. Wo should have
system similar to the one in Germany
nd other European countries , where
nly so many druggists are allowed to a
ivon population , where the prices are
ixed by law so as to permit of a reason-
bio profit , where the drugs are subject
o constant scrutiny by official
xports , and where no ono
an make out n proscription until
10 has paused a rigid examination as to
iis qualification for chemical work. If it
rould bo contrary to republican prlnci-
ilos to limit the number of shops and the
calo of prices , wo might at all events
tave a law that would guarantee the
[ nality of the drugs and prevent impost-
> rs from handling them. Medicine
, t best is an inexact science , and the
ruggiat is the last court of appeal to
rhich a sick man may apply. Fhyal-
ians are but human , and oven the ablest
if them are given to errors now and
hen , while the half-educated mass of
hem blunder through Ignorance instead
if accident Many times proscriptions
tro brought in which a competent chem-
st will at once recognize as incorrect , or
irobably so , and ho will quietly send
iround to the doctor to have the nocos-
lary corrections made , or , If the doctor
san't bo found in time , will lesson the
lose on his own responsibility , and no-
, ify the physician of the fact as soon as
possible , so that ho can take prompt ac-
lon in the matter If necessary. The
ivorago clerk of the present day , how-
jvor , is unequal to such an exercise of
judgment , and slaps the prescription to
gether without a thought of the conio
ponces ; indeed , many of the clerks are
anablo to put up a complicated proscrip
tion properly , whjch does not prevent
; heir making the attempt , however , and
landing the mixture over as the genuine
irtlclo.
irtlclo.THE PIUCTICKS OK SOME POCTOlH.
"The principal reason for the high
price of drugs is the extraordinary per
centage demanded by a largo proportion
of the medical facnlty. I am putting it
mildly when I say that many of the doc
tors , men of good repute , make an ar
rangement by which they guarantee the
custom of their patients to a given drug
store , and get in return a certain amount
of the money charged for medicine. This
percentage varies according to the amount
of the doctors' practice , these having the
greatest number of patients getting more
than the physicians of minor note. It
may surprise you to hear , but on my word
It'is a fact , that it is not at all unusual
for a physician to got 0 per cent , of all
the money paid on his proscriptions ,
while I know of cases where the doctor's
share runs as high as GO per cent. Can
you expect to got medicine at a reasona
ble rate under such an arrangement ? In
many instances the physician la content
himself with advising his patient to p&t-
ronlza such a drug store , because It
is the best , etc. , but in others
ho actually writes out his pro
scriptions In hieroglyphics that cai
only bo deciphered at the stoto in qucs
tlon. You can sciwcely blame us drug
gists for conniving at this form of swindl
ing , for nnless wo do so our bnsinosi
would amount to nothing. The phyiclan
would comblno against a man who offeree
them nothing , and in time ho would un
questionably bo ruined. As it Is wltl
the percentages that are paid to the doc
tors , wo have to limit our own share to i
reasonable profit in order not to dlsgus
our customers too thoroughly , and there
by drlvo them away. 1 do not hcsltat
to say that the retail drug business is it
a miserable and fraudulent condition , anc
that the lack of proper laws and the ac
tion of a majority of the physicians an
causes of this state of alVilra. The doct
ors are cutting thotr own throats as wol
an ours , however , for they are Btoadlj |
driviug the public from the patronage o :
thn regular school , to channels when
they can obtain attend anco and modi
cln os more cheaply. This fact is boln ;
proven day by day , but the physician !
seem blind to it. "
' Origin of ClirlHttiiBS Gins ,
To the editor of tlio Globe :
What was the origin of Christmas glfta ?
n. r. it ,
The custom grow out of a very old ro-
llglous rite. When It was the rule to
have shrines in almost every house , and
at glvon points along the highways , it
was customary on Christmas morning to
lay upon the shrines sums of money for
the poor , bouquets and written benedic
tions. Trovolors prized the latter , and
the poor were crateful for the first. The
bouquets and trifles were greatly prized
In those days by those to whom they were
given after having served as votive offer
ings to some saint. Then , there was
something BO sacred about them that they
were not given carelessly and unmeaning
ly , and they were prized accordingly. In
trinsic value was scarcely regarded at all.
A faded rose , a leaf or trifling trinket was
prized just as highly ns a gem. It was
not the thing itself but that which it sug
gested that was prized.
A Dlnlno Liquor Xrivp *
Boston Herald.
The deputy sheriff lately found in Lewiston -
iston , Mo. , an artificially-concealed liquor
trap , which has defied the police for a
long time. A search was made by Deputy -
ty Sheriff Hinkloy on this house a num
ber of weeks pgo , but nothing was found.
A pair of stairs comes down to the floor.
Under there is a clothes press , and a lit
tle ways furthsr on is a bodroom. A portion
tion of the space under the stairway is
unoccupied by either clothes press or bedroom -
room , but the side of the stairs is lathed
and plastered to the floor. There is no
door or lock or keyhole. The search hero
was given up and a hunt was made in the
cellar. Looking up at the coiling of the
collar a keyhole to the trapdoor was dis
covered by the ray of light penetrating
it. An ax was used to burst ln-the
trapdoor. About five gallons of liquor
was found in the trap.

Correspondence to the Miles City ( Montani
Jonroal. ,
Beyond Miles City northward to th
British lines lies a region which may b
properly called an unknown region. Sav
from buffalo hunter ? , treppors , wol ;
poisoners , soldiers who followed Slttin
Bull's ' trail , and government toamston
but little information nas boon given c
this valuable and interesting country.
During this summer , alike fearless c
rustlers and stray bands of roving Indian
Mr. G. W. L ng drove 6,000 youugToxa
cattle on the Big Dry , about 100 mile
north of Miles City. The llunniog Wato
Land and Cattle company , followed will
several thousand head of Dakota cattle
which they turned loose upon the Llttl
Dry about 125 miles north of Miles City
Major T. II. Logan , of Fort Koogb , am
MoBrldo have also located ranchc
and several thousand head of cattle en tin
Llttlo Dry. Throe old buffalo hunters
moro venturesome still , have located i
ranch , and about three hundred gradet
eastern cattle at Round Bntto , botwoot
Bell crook and Squaw crook , on the Mis
sourl river , nearly two hundred miloi
northwest of Mtlos City. A great man )
parties have boon prospecting on the Bi
Missouri and Dry late this season , and
probably the next year will witness at
Influx of cattle to all available ranges
north of the Yellowstone.
There is an abundance of grass and
whlto sago In all this region , bat a scarci
ty of water , and it is hoped that it will
not bo overstocked , necessitating , per
haps , a drive during dry seasons to bet
tor-watered ranges. As it is already , the
cattle which will bo driven to thu Big
Dry and adjacent country next season
will need all the available water thoro.
The Big Dry and tributary crooks are
well timbered with cottouwood. On the
south , till near the Yellowstone , the land
is rolling and not rough enough for per
fect she ! tor , Near the Dry and Yellowstone -
stone are rough , bad lands and abundant
Eeod aud shelter.
North from the Dry the country grows
rougher aud rougher until on the
Missouri itself bad lands pile up inoun-
trins high , and are almost impassable ,
DVOU to pack outfits. At Hell trook no
misnomer Yankee Din , domiciled there
with Van Buron , says a rider may start
[ rom Nan Burou's to leave Holt crook
ralloy , and , after several hours of zig-
jag hill-climbing , may still bo able to
spit down from badlands cliffs on the roof
3t Yanshack.
The Missouri bottoms are generally
; ; oed soil but overgrown with brush aud
greenwood , affording scant hay grass.
The cpttonwood growth along the Mis
souri is something to bo wondered at by
these who never saw full-grown cotton-
woods. The crests of the higher bad
lands are crowned with pines , and at
distant internals along the river a few
parties maintain wood-yards _ to supply
the occasional steamers running up the
Missouri as far as Fort Bouton. Beyond
these an occasional band of halfrbroeds
3t Indians , the south bank of the Mis-
lourl is uninhabited.
Several weeks since Messrs. G. W.
Lang and John Lang , with several of
ihelr cowboys of whom the writer is
) ue having occasion to ride oyer a largo
icopo of country north of the Missouri ,
lomo account of that region In ay interest
parties looking for rango.
Swimming their saddle ponies and pack
mimals across the Missouri near the
nouthof Hell crook , and crossing thorn-
iclvos In"a"ikifl' , the party followed up a
Iry creek for a time , and turning almost
lortheast entered a bad lands country ,
'oiling but very rough , scantily grassed ,
pith little pools -bitter water. Noarlng
kfIlk river , after two days' ride , this al-
cost desert region changed abruptly into
ho finest grasses of all Montana kinds ,
rlth abundant shelter for cattle. Along
rlilk river are long stretches of fertile
oam , covered with a growth of sun-
lowers , always an indtcaoion of warm ,
ich soil. Milk river Is well timbered
rith oottonwood for building and fencing ,
ts water is abundant and pjure , but near
ts lower-end its banks for several days'
ido are too stoop and miry for cattle to
rater at all. Several days' ride up-rivor
he banks became sandy and firm. It ro-
elves hero a number of tributary creeks ,
rhose pure , clear water ripples over pob-
ly , firm bottoms. The further up-river
no rides the bettor becomes the country
jr grazing. This season thousands of
ons of hay coald have boon cut there in
very direction. .
Nuaring the Indian reservation of Bel-
nap the party discovered ( ? ) a lake about
wolvo miles long , seeming deep and well
booked with fish. Around this lake was
bo best summer range the writer ever
w. Before reaching Belknap a nuin-
er of Assiniboino Indian villages were
assod. The inhabitants manifested a
voly interest In our party. At a dia-
inco they evidently mistook us for rust-
jrs , but nearer they recognized our call-
ig and cried out : "Mo know cow-
oy. " They certainly had heard of cow-
oya , but our party was evidently the
rst cowboys ever soon by them. The
ucka admired our leather chaps , ao
early shaped like their own buckskin
3ggins , and pointing to a pair of Texas
haps , with a broad seam flap , ejaculated ,
'Cheyenne Injprt. "
At Belknap , in charge of Maj. Lincoln ,
ho Indians this season raised an abund-
nt crop of qorcnls , hay and roots ; corn ,
bout fifty bushels per aero ; saw there
wonty-six potatoes weighing sixty
ounds. The Indians have a surplus of
oven thousand bushels moro than they
rill need for winter usn. They will have
nug shacks built. Their ponies are in-
roasing are hog fat and they seem to
10 content under Maj. Lincoln's ru o.
"urthor on the Gros Venires occupy a
erfect paradise of a stock region. At
be time our party passed ( October 14 18) )
ho bunch grass was green and luxuriant ,
At Fort Assiniboino , reputed to bo the
nest , best-built garrison in the north-
rest , wo learned that cattle and horses
Iways wintered well there , and both
amu out fat iu the spring. Contractor
iroadwater's wcrk steora and mules run-
ling near the post were grass-fat at the
ime of pur visit. At this point we wore
inly thirty-five miles from the British
ino , but. although In October , the nights
roro only frosty and the days dollctoiialy
ileasant.
Turning southward wo passed along
ho eastern base of Bear Paw mountains ,
imong creeks aud lakes and beautiful
neadows without number , the great foa-
ures being abundant food , fine iheltor ,
ma-pure , running water.
But in the basin botweenBoarPawand
.he Little Rockies wt far as the eye could
each lay the finest grazing region seen.
Cho weather was getting sharp , but flow-
> rs were In bloom by tbo roadside , snd
.his In tbo latter part of October , If any
reader thlnku we exaggerate the worth of
the Little Rockies as a grazing place let
turn see it himself. He'll be converted.
Turning eastward from the Llttlo Rock-
lei we rode extensively over another per *
tlon of splendid grazing region , well wa
tered by what wo believed to bo the Con
chotto , the Fourchotto and Beaver crock
though wo are not certain of those name *
none of us having bacn in that countr
before. Further southeast wo traveloi
the greater part of ono day ever a loin
raoadow which contained at least -lO.Oci
acres of good liny land. Then turiiin )
into the bad lands and broad bottom ] o
the Missouri wo sought our origiual cros
slog place at Van Huron's , near thi
mouth of IIoll orcok. Rlqht glad won
wo to bo safe on the south sldo of thi
river ouco moro. Being so late in thi
season the river might have got to run
nlng slush ice and prevented swiminiu ;
pur horses and ferrying ourselves acrosi
in the skiff. Had this occurred you maj
imagine our Interesting condition ; on thi
north sldo of the Missouri , short of grub
no tent , and hundreds of miles from nnj
settlement or garrison , in a country when
gamn is now very scarce. Of such delights
lights is a cowboy's lifo sweetened occa
siomlly. In the event of our being frozen
on in wo would have had to make the
best of the situation on fresh moni
straight until the Missouri froz9 solid
enough for us to cross ever on the ice ,
In concluding this article it is nocotsi *
ry to state that all the fine gracing region
north of the Missouri to the British line
is Indian reservation at presenton which
no cattle except contractors' are allowed
to grnze. But it is believed that the res-
orvatlon will bo thrown open to settle
ment early this winter. If so , and any
person needs a homo or a stock range ,
take our word for it and see the country
north of the Missouri before locating else-
whoro.
She KlBBi'd to Conquer.
A girl who works in a paper box fac
tory somewhere became engaged to
marry a young workman in the same
factory. Both were young aud rosy
she luscious nineteen nnd very pretty
and pleasant to look upon , For some
reason that doesn't ' matter she broke oil
the engagement and told htm to go his
way and lot her go hers. Then she had
him arrested aud taken before a justice ,
charged wsth annoying hor. She told
the judge her grievance was that whenever -
over she young man mot her ho put his
arms around her and kissed her , although
she kept tolling him that it was all ever
between them now and she didn't want
his kisses any moro. The young man
said in defense that ho had
kissed her a thousand times a
dny for two i jr three years , and that
ho had got in such n habit ot it that ho
couldn't help It. Ho had tried to re
strain himself but ho couldn't. The
judge said ; "Voung man , you must
stop it. " Ho replied , " 1 can't judgo. I
would If I could. I will try again. " The
kindly judge , full of follow-fcollng for
young and ardent humanity , discharged
the likely-looking young man from cus
tody , and the pretty pair of thorn left the
court-room and strolled down the street
together In a few minutes the girl
came back , pooped In and said demurely :
"Judgo'ho has kissed mo again right out
in the street. " The amused man of jus
tice said : "Woll , I can't stop it. The
best thing you can do is td marry him ,
and that'll euro him. " And the couple
stopped into the court room and the judge
married thorn then and thoro. It waa a
case of kissing to conquor.
Tlio Responsibility Ho Incurred.
Detroit Free Press.
"I I wanted to ask your opinion about
a little matter , and also secure your ad
vice , " ho said , as ho cornered a member
of the city council on ono of the city hall
porches yesterday.
"Well , sir , what can I do for you ? "
"Is it your opinion that we shall have
in open winter ? "
"Why , air , I I can't really say. I do
not pretend to bo a weather prophet. "
"Sorry very sorry , " continued the
sthor ; "I have got to go to Chicago on
foot. If you could guarantee mo fine
weather , I wouldn't need to ask you to
lend me moro than half a dollar. As you
can't do that , aud as I am liable to be
mowed in somewhere for a week , I shall
be compelled to request the loan of at
least 80 cents. Do you advise mo to lay
in a stock of crackers and chepso at this
point , or would you buy as you wont
ilong and from day today ? "
The alderman sought to crawl out of
my responsibility in the matter , but the
nan hung to him until he got 30 cents as
t compromise. The man who won t pro-
lict an open winter ought to be bled.
