Beit For Suckers.
Now that the cherry tree cases
are disposed of, it is fair to ask the
question : How many of you sym¬
pathized with the people who were
defrauded? Through newspapers,
and by the experience of other peo¬
ple, they have been warned against
such schemes. They wished to
get something for nothing —or
practically no effort — and they
placed blind faith in an absurd
proposition. So they lost. Another
cherry tree concern, under a diff¬
erent name, can start business in
this country to-morrow and make
quick money until the law inter¬
venes. There is always a surplus
amount of wealth that folks are
anxious to get rid of. Everybody
in a community may be complain¬
ing ol hard times, but Buffalo Bill
can come along, pick up $10,000
and the amount isn’t missed. Such
restless money is always ready to
feed the tricksters, too. Last year
at the square a man declared that
the soap he offered for sale would
cure anytheng from ingrowing
nails to leprosy, and was worth
twenty times the price he named.
That night, when his pockets were
full ot money, he laughed and
admited that his marvelous cure-all
vras made by pouring cheap Ger¬
man extract on large bars of soap,
which were sliced into small bars
And coverd with tinfoil.He and
ihaif the world play the cheriy tree
game while the other half gladly
purchases—just foolish experience.

Have Yon Gold Dollars?
If any of the readers of The
Record have gold dollars they can
get a premium on them.
The United States gold dollar is
so scarce that dealers in gold and
rsre coins are advertising every¬
where for them offering from $1.00
to $3.00 apiece for as many as they
can get.
Since 1886 the United States
mints have not coined any gold
dollars. Since then their value has
increased steadily.
In the mint in Philabelphia,
where the dies for all United States
currency are kept, the present value
of the gold dollar of 1886 is us fol¬
lows :
Those marked C. ( Carson City)
are worth from $1.70 to $2.50.
Those marked D. (Denver) are
worth from $2.00 to $2.50; ihose
marked S (Sanfrancisco)are worth
from $2.00 to 3.00 and those with¬
out any mark, indicating they were
minted in Philadelphia, are worth
from $1.50 to $1.7p.

WHAT A MriN LiKES.
Some Suggestions That Wives May or
May Not Adopt.
A writer gives the following idea
of the qualities a man likes in a
wife, presumably his own wife.
However, do not make an attempt
to follow the rules too closely.
There seems to be an undercurrent
of satire in the words.
“A man likes his wife to be cheer-
ful. He does not always concern
himself very particularly about the
means to make and keep her so, but
he disapproves utterly of a sad or
pensive face.
“He may have cut her to the
quick with some bitter word before
he leaves home in the morning, but
he is extremely annoyed if he per¬
ceives on returning any signs of the
wound he has inflicted.
“A man hits hard, but he never
expects to see a bruise. He has for¬
given himself for administering the
blow. Why should not the recipient
be equally quick about forgetting
it
“A man likes his wife to be intel¬
ligent, quite sufficiently so to be
able to conduct the concerns of life
and to appreciate his own intellec¬
tual parts and enjoy stray ebulli¬
tions of his wit and humor.
“She must applaud these with dis¬
crimination and in that delicate
manner which infers no surprise at
his possessing brilliancy.
“But he is exasperated should she
be too intelligent. His depths are
to be inviolate, but he likes to sound
her shallows, and so well does she
know this that she often assumes a
shallowness when she has it not.”—
Pittsburg Press.
Did Not Seem Reasonable.
A woman from some rural dis¬
trict of New England was taken to
visit an art museum. In one of the
rooms the attendant pointed out a
collection of beautiful old vases dug
up at Herculaneum.
“What ?” exclaimed the woman.
“Dug up ?”
“Yes, ma’am.”
“What? Out of the ground?”
“Yes, ma’am.”
“Just as they are now ?”
“Oh, they’ve been cleaned up a
bit, but they were fou ".d about as
you see them.”
With an incredulous shake of the
head, the woman turned to her com¬
panion and said in a whisper that
was loud enough for the bystanders
to hear:
“He may say what he likes. I
don’t believe the} r ever dug up ready
made pots out of the ground.”
Invention of Horseshoe*
Iron horseshoes permanently fix¬
ed to the hoofs were introduced in
the fourth century of the Christian
era. On the grassy plains of Asia
and on the open ground elsewhere
shoes were not needed, but the Ro¬
mans soon found that their paved
roads wore the hoof away and often
lamed an animal when his services
were the most needed. They could
devise no better remedy, however,
than leather soles and bags to pro¬
tect the hoof, though there is rea¬
son to believe that they had an iron
shoe which they put on and took
off at pleasure. Some writers are
of the opinion that the later Ro¬
mans had learned to nail the shoe
under the hoof, but it seems possi¬
ble that the crescent shaped horse¬
shoe of modern times was first in¬
vented in some part of Asia.
Gentlemanly Traits.
It was President Arthur who, en¬
tertaining two former New York
chums, was shocked to hear one say
to the other: “Hello, Jim! I hear
you were drunk last night.” As¬
suming his most deprecating look,
“Our Chet” said reprovingly, “A
gentleman never hears that his
friend was drunk.” The rebuke
went home.
A day or two ago a piebe, after
listening to a most excellent story
capitally told, remarked: “Oh, that’s
old. I heard that fifteen years ago.”
A quiet member of the party gently
protested: “Impossible. A gentle¬
man never heard a story.”—New
York Press.
No. 27
THE CRESCENT CITY.
Enormous Cost of the Mississippi
Levees to New Orleans.
“If you picture in your mind an
enormous sickle having a handle
also at the hooked end you will have
the Mississippi river as it flows in
yellow swiftness past the city of
New Orleans,” say^ W. S. Harwood
in Ainslee’s. “A hundred miles to
the southward it pours out through
its many mouths into the broad blue
gulf. In the crescent of ibis sickle,
which gives to the city its name,
lies New Orleans, ami no sharp
blade in the hand of the husband¬
man thrust into the ripening grain
was ever surer of its destructiveness
than would be this vast crescent of
the Mississippi when once it should
be given sway.
“Sometimes when the river is at
flood its surface will rise twenty feet
above the level of t \ j city’s streets.
In the center of the stream it will
then he nearly 200 feet deep, with a
powerful current, which, were it
not for the protecting levee about
the city, must sweep everything be¬
fore it. This giant river which has
made this city possible drains an
enormous basin, its watershed being
greater in area than that of any
river on the globe. The volume of
water which flows past this city is
equal to 150,000,000 cubic yayds.
“There are now nearly 1,500
miles of levees on the lower Missis¬
sippi, and Louisiana alone has spent
since the civil war $30,000,000 on
the river, while it costs the 6tate
$1,000,000 annually to maintain its
levees. Strange as it may seem, the
deadliest enemies of these great
earthen embankments are the insig¬
nificant crawfish and the muskrats.
For, once the slightest hole is made
in the levee by either of them, the
relentless river finds its way through
and vast loss ensues.”
He Almost Won.
An oid story which has lately
been revived owes its new lease of
life to a touch of human nature and
a genuine humor that are as fresh
in one age as in another. Here it is:
Mike had made a bet with Larry
that Larry could not carry him with
his hod up the ladder to the top
of the house without letting him
fall. Larry took the bet. Mike sat
in the hod, and Larry swung him to
his shoulder and started up the lad¬
der.
Rung after rung was passed until
near the top Larry’s foot slipped,
and if the stick of the hod had not
caught in the ladder Mike would
have fallen to the ground, four sto¬
ries below.
But Larry with an effort forced
his burden back into place, went the
short remaining distance and dump¬
ed Mike on the roof.
“Well, ye’ve won,” panted Mike,
“but I thought I had ye when yer
foot slipped.”
More Important.
A certain peer of days gone by
was called out for some offense by
another noble lord .and promptly- re¬
sponded to the challenge. On ar¬
riving home again after the duel
his lordship gave a guinea to the
coachman who had driven him to
and from the ground.
The driver appears to have been
an exceptionally honest, simple
man. lie was surprised by the
largeness of the sum presented and
said:
“My lord, I only took you to”—
“Yes, yes, I know that,” was the
reply, “but the guinea is for bring¬
ing me back.”
