OUT FOR BIGGER BUSINESS
Street Car Employes Changed Route
and Got the Money, but Superin
tendent Was Not Pleased.
Two young men, having nothing
to worry them, decided that to broad
en their scope they would seek em
/floyment with the street railway
company of New York and find out
what it was like. Accordingly they
visited the superintendent’s office and
told him their story. He sized the
boys up and said he would try’ them
out first on one of the least impor
tant lines. In order to hold its fran
chise the street car company was
compelled to run at least one car a
day on certain lines where there was
practically no traffic. So about mid
night even’ night it was arranged to
run a car the full length of the line
and back —just to have it on record
that a trip was made. The first night
out the boys came in with 40 cents.
The next day they reported a col
lection of 25 cents and four trans
fers. The next day they came in
with $61.85. The superintendent
was thunderstruck. He asked them
how they happened to run on to so
much business. “Ah,” one of the
explained, “that’s easy. You see, we
noticed that business was getting so
dull on that line where you stationed
*ue that we thought we’d take a run
■over on Broadway, and we did.”
BETWEEN CANDIDATES
T zb
■r # I
First Candidate—No man can be
bigger than his party.
Second Candidate—l suppose that
must be true. But it is also impos
sible for a party to be as big as a
man occasionally feels.
QUEER FRIENDSHIP.
An eminent physician of the olden
times had a man servant with the
same given name as his own. This
man William attended to his mas
ter’s office, kept the books, accom
panied him usually on his visits to
patients, and did the bleeding and
so frequently resorted to
by the old-time doctor. When the
Civil war called and William was
free both he and his former owner
began the practice of medicine in
the same town. From doorways on
opposite sides of the same street
swung signs each reading, “Dr. Wil
liam Warren.”
The relation between the two Dr.
Warrens continued, the white phy
sician advising his former servant
in perplexing cases and assisting in
the serious ones, the colored M. D.
rendering, as of old, any aid in his
power to “Old Mastah.”
NOT A BANQUET.
The story is told of a veteran of
the Civil war, who returned to the
home of his boyhood to attend a
banquet given by the old boys. The
diners were all men he had known as
youngsters. He expected them to
talk over old times. Instead, one
talked incessantly about his bad
liver; another discoursed on his weak
heart; a third had a lot to say about
his kidney trouble, and so it went
on. When the veteran returned to
his home he was asked how he en
joyed the banquet.
“'Banquet!” he replied, showing
vexation. “It wasn’t a banquet. It
was an organ recital.”
TRYING TO EXPLAIN.
“Why do so many young men
leave the farm ?”
“Well,” replied Farmer Corntos
sel, “in most of the cases I have
observed it was because they couldn’t
earn their salt as farm hands an'
wasn’t fixed to pay board.”
EXPLAINED.
“Do you think it is an odd idea
to have suspended banks at a city
celebration ?”
“I should think it a very ominous
kind of a proceeding.”
“Even if they were banks of bunt
ing?”
MR. LEWIS A. RIFFLE tell, his
experience with coughs and colds
that lead to nervousness and de
bility.
w i
Colds are often
aggravated dur
ing the Summer
because inactive
bowels and a
stomach out of
order are prime
causes in keep
ing a cold from
getting well.
Pe-ru-na has
very beneficial
laxative quali-
ties that neutral- .
ize such condi- Lewis Riffle,
tions. Its tonic ingredients tone up
the system, and thus invigorate the
stomach’s functions to normal activ
ity.
Mr. Riffle’s experience is especially
interesting at this time of the year be
cause it shows the close relationship
there is between a nervous breakdown
and a neglected cold.
Pe-ru-na should be kept in the home
at all times, that a cold upon its first
appearance may be treated promptly
and successfully. This often saves
money and time, and what is more
important, a great deal of vitality.
Mr. Riffle, of 758 Gautenbein Ave-
Portland, Ore., writes: “I have found
Pe-ru-na a most remarkable medi
cine for building up the system and
for curing coughs and colds.
"I took it for four weeks a few
months ago when I was all run down,
nervous and debilitated, and it quickly
restored my health.
“I always keep it on hand, as a few
doses will cure a cold if taken in time."
People who object to liquid medi
cines can now obtain Pe-ru-na
Tablets.
