m m 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 my icebox!”. >-o-i 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.

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.
