It was a bsoiling hot day in Au
gust, says the New York Sun, and
a St. Louis clothier was mopping
bis brow at the door when an ac
quaintance observed:
‘You seem to be taking it hard.”
“My soul! but Ivhas oaferpow-
ered und dun for! I vbas proke
in two in der middle!”
“Heat affectryou that way?”
“Heat! Who said heat? I can
sthand fifty degrees more of dot.
No, it was something else. I find
a man who keeps his word mid
me.”
“How was it?”
“Yhell, dis morning de mate of
a shleamboat come in here to bay
.clothing. fee vhas a werry honest
looking man, and he says he can
pring forty deck-hands to my place.
I said if dot vhas so, I like to gif
him a suit of clothes.”
“Bather risky, Moses.”
“O, no. I fix him like dis: I
bundle up dot suit und leaf him
next door. If forty mens come
und inquire for clothing der suit
vhas his. If not, he doan’ get him.
He has shust gone avhay mid der
suit.”
“But you'are a long way ahead
if you sold to forty men.”
“I doan’ sell nothings to a sin
gle man. How you suppose I vhas
tooken in? It vhas a great game.
Ash dot 818 suit he took avhay on
ly cost me $4.25, I can almost
laugh aboudt it myself. Here is
how she vhas. One man after an
other comes in, looks aboudt, und
says: "
“ ‘Good day, Moses. Say, Moses,
I vhas going down to Florida dis
week, und I .like to take a fur-
trimmed oafercoat along. Show me
soffietings for aboubt 820.’.
| “Eafery man said dot same
thing, und vhen der last one vhas
gone oudt, und I vhas lyihg on der
floor in a dead faint, dot mate
comes in und says:
■“ ‘Vhell, Moses, I take dot suit
along. If you doan’ have some
fur-trimmed oafercoats for my
boys I haf to go somewhere else.fi
vhas a man who always keeps my
work.’
“Und dot’s vhot ails me,” gasped
Moses, as he fell upon a stool at
the door. “Fur-trimmed oafer
coats vhen it vhas 105 degreess in

The Power of Money.
What an influence for . good or
evil is exerted by the proper or
improper use of money. It seems
* to be the first essential of modern
i
IS '
-
life. Sad indeed is the lot of that
man or that woman without money
or without friands. - Especially in
cases of sickness is the need of
money felt most pressingly, and
yet even the rtch, with all their
money, fall into a state of poor
health and die, whereas, if their
money was rightly expended, and
the proper remedies applied, they
might regain health and strength.
Z. A. Clark, Atlanta, Ga., says:
“I spent four hundred aud eighty
dollars in gold to cure me of a ter
rible blood poison that affected my
limbs and nose and body, with
running ulcers. One-month’s
treatment of B B B cured the ul
cers, restoredmy appetite, strength
ened my kidneys, and added 21
pounds to my weight.”
Still, in spite of this and much
other testimony, there are many
who refuse to try the z-emedy,seem
ing to prefer to pay large fees to
physicians, or to visit distant
springs in vain hopes of recovery.
The ■ great truth, however, ever
shines brightly, and that is, that
no one who ever gave B BB (Bo
tanic Blond Balm) a trial ever
found disappointment therein.
0. H. Eudolph, Talladega, Fla.,
•writes: “I had blood poison for
six years, but nothing benefiitted
me, although I paid two hundred
aud fifty dollars for treatment. At
last I tried BBB and found • it
a quick aud cheap blood purifier.”
Philadelphia Press.
“Did you ever hear how ‘Suwa-
nee Rivei-’ was written?”
“Don’t think I ever did.”
“WellSteph Foster—Stephen C.
Foster was his full name—was in
the zenith of his,popularity when
he wrote the words,” said my
friend to me. “He had written
the song in the frame house on
Sandusky street, in Alleghany, but
he couldn’t find the name of a riv
er that suited him. Finally he
went over to the office of his broth
er, Morrison Foster, sat down
his desk, and said: ‘Morrison, I’ve
got a new darkey song .here, and
it’s complete, except the name of
the river. I want a southern river
with only two or three syllables.
Give me one, won’t you?’
“Morrison suggested several, but
they didn’t suit. Then he took
down an atlas, ran his eye over a
map of the southern states for a
few minutes, and finally said:
‘Here’s a river in Florida by the
name of Suwanee, ho'tftwill that
do?’ -
“‘That’s it, that’s it,’ exclaimed
the song writer, jumping from the
desk.' ‘It’s just what I want,’ and
picking up a pen he inserted the
name of the river that has since
become the title of one of the
sweetest and- most pathetic of mel
odies. 1 believe that Stephen C.
Foster never thought very much of
the piece himself, until after it had
taken its place among the popular
songs of the century.”
What Sarah Said to Mary..
It was on a Madison Avenue car
at 6 o’clock. Among those who
had seats were eight men. Among
those standing up were two shop
girls. After waiting for a reason
able time for some one to offer
them seats, one of the girls said:
“Mary, it’s too bad, isn’t it?”
“What, Sarah ?” asked the other.
“That they are all bow-legged:”
“Who?”
“These eight gentlemen. I have
patronized this line for five years,
and I never sow a bow-legged man
give himself away by standing up
in a car. It wouldn’t be reasona
ble to expect it.”
“Of course not.”
In jnst five seconds ;eight men
were on their feet, says the New
York Sun, bowing and smiling,
and asking Sarah and Mary if they
wouldn’t be so everjastingly kind
aud obliging as to take seats—take
half the car, in fact, and they took
it.

Tobacco is grown, successfully in
Decatur county,Ga. Mi\ J. M. Dar-
cey, of the Calvary district of De
catur county, planted two acres in
tobacco, on pine land, this year. It
yielded 1,207 pounds, which he
sold for 8427.10. Some of the same
kind of pine. land was planted in
cotton.- If the seasons had been
favorable, he would have' gotten
one-third of a bale per acre. Mr.
J. F. Darcey planted only one-six
teenth of an acre in tobacco. He
got over 840 for it. In that district
are several farmers by the namd of
Shelfer. They cultivated from
three to five acres each. They re
alized upward of 81,000 each for
their crops. Mr. William Lott had
two acres in cultivation. He sold
his tobacco for 8500 cash. Major
George W. Haynes, of Attapulgus,
and his partner, Miv Elton Smith,
had five acres in tobacco which
produced 3,000 pounds. They sold
at 35 cents, realizing 81,050 in hard
money.—Exchange..

General Debility.
eg :
One by one the generals of the
day have passed away, but there is
one general who is ever with ns—
General Debility is his name. .He
is no respecter of persons of age
or of sex. He imposes on the
young, and in an unfair fight with
old age, comes off victor. He
constantly battling against good
health, and his delight is to make
mankind miserable. His weapons
are a lame back, an aching side,
weak kidneys, inactive liver, poor
digestion, non-assimilation of food,
extre&e nervousness, universal las
situde, short breath, unnatural fa
tigue, etc. However, he is not to
be feared. He is easily disarmed
by a use of Dr. John Bull’s Sarsa
parilla. When this remedy is used
to counteract the attacks of Gener
al Debility, he is made to retreat
every time. In fact, General De
bility and Dr. Bull’s Sarsaparilla
cannot be in the same system a'
the same time. . Try it, and yo
will soon get strong.
