Subscription $1 Per Tear. Vol. XXIX. 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.

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.” Tact. Mrs. Hansom—I understand, sir, that vou have secretly been making iove to my daughter, and I must forbid an acquaintance begun in that way. l"ou should have seen me first. Shrewd Suitor—Madam, had I seen you first I should have-forgot¬ ten your daughter and fallen in love with you. Mrs. Hansom—Um! The infor¬ mality of the proceeding was all I objected to. Come with me, and I will introduce you. — New York Weekly.
