THE AMEPJCUS DAILY TIMES-REOORDER: SUNDAY, MAY 17, 1891.
It isn’t the usual way
—it’s just the reverse—to pay a
patient when yon can’t euro him.
Nevertheless, that’s what’s done by
the proprietors of Dr.' Sage’s Ca
tarrh Remedy. They promise to
pay you 8500 if they can’t euro
yonr catarrh, no matter how bad
the case. It isn’t mere talk—it’s
business. You can satisfy yourself
of it, if you’re interested. And you
ought to be, if you have catarrh.
It’s faith in their medieino that’s
behind the offer. It has cured
thousands of the worst cases, where
everything else failed. You can bo
cured, too. If you can’t, you get
the money. They’re willing to take
the risk—you ought to be glad to
take the medicine.
It’s the cheapest medicine you
can buy, because it’s guaranteed to
give satisfaction, or your money is
returned.
You only pay for the good you
get. Can you ask more ?
That’s the peculiar plan all Dr.
Pierce’s medicines aro sold on.

A PET AND A NUISANCE
JOCKO IN DISREPUTE WITH THE
NEW YORK HEALTH BOARD.
Uotanaun'. Et.tatlc Monkey Make.
.Tightrope «r Mr*. Kaufman’, Clothes
line. Pick. Putty Out of a Sky tight and
Strata Pennies and Milk.
For two years now Jocko has been
having things pretty much his own way
in a back yard in East Fourth street
But at last ho has run np against a snag.
Doubtless if Jocko had been content
with liis own back yard and had not
gone about prowling for new buck yards
to conquer, his mime todr.y would not
be on the blotter of the health board's
big liook. At the weekly meeting of the
board it will be decided whether he may
keep up his nomadic proclivities un
molested or whether in the future he is
to be chained to a ring in the area steps.
Jocko is the pet monkey <jf Josef Hoff
mann, who does a brisk business in the
basement at 37 East Fourth street. A
sea captain, who had come home from a
voyage to South America for cocoanuts,
brought back Jocko with him, and gave
the animal to Mr. Hoffmann, if Jocko
had stnek his long, sharp claws into Mr.
Hoffman's heart he couldn't have secured
a deeper hold on that portion of the lat
ter's anatomy than he did on the first
day of liis installment in the basement
in East Fourtli street.
Every twenty-four hours which have
passed siuco then have only soldered
inoro firmly the ties between the monkey
and his master. So fond, indeed, lias
his owner become of tho curious little
animal that lie has never had the heart
to correct him in any way. The result
was the usual one. Jocko was spoiled.
JOCKO AND THE CI-OTHESLINB.
So one day. as Jocko was sitting rumi
nating in ttio back yard, with a leg
swung about tho trellis ami liis tail
wound around the grape vine, he spied
Mrs. Kaufman, of the third floor, hack,
banging her washing out to dry.
Mrs. Kaufinun closed the window,
leaving her linen, which she hud got up
at 6 o’clock to wash, hanging in the sun.
Jocko waited a whole minnto after lie
heard thesasli bang. Then, with a cat
like movement, he gained the top of the
high back fence, scampered np the fire
escape of an adjoining building, made a
well calculated leap of three feet and
landed on tho nearest point of vantage
of the taut ropes of Mrs. Kaufman’s
clothesline.
Like a tightrope walker, Jocko tripped
along tho line. He put up one paw to
his whisker, just as the real performer
does tyhen he smirks and throws the in
imitable kiss to the audience. Then
Jocko began his aerial feats in earnest.
When Mrs. Kuufman went to hanl in
her lines that evening sho stood as one
amazed. Her stockings strewed the
ground below like the fallen leaves of
Vallambrosa. Her tablecloths and sheets,
where they were not torn in places, were
tracked in a pattern in which the chief
figure was tho imprint of a muddy paw.
Some of her linen wss actually missing.
Mrs. Kaufman had to get np early the
next morning again, pull out her thread
and needle, and, after mending for al
most an hour, do her whole wash over.
Bat Jocko never ran amnek among
Mrs. Knnfinan's wash any inoro. He
had experienced a new sensation, and
having once satisfied him9elf with that
he began to cast ubout for fresh fields
and jiastares new. Of course, if lie
wanted to make use of Mrs. Kaufman's
or any other person's convenient line*.
Jocko never hesitated to use them as a
public thoroughfare. But ns n diversion,
clotheslines had lost their seductive
charms for the monkey.
TDK 11ATTER PROTESTS.
So while looking about another morn
ing for something "new und strange’’ he
clambered up on to tile roof of tho ex
tension built ont from a hat store on the
Bowery. The skylight was open und
Jocko began dropping odd bits which be
picked np off the roof down into the
room below. His Simian Majesty was
■cared uway.
Then Jocko's instinctive feeling of dis
like for the Hyman family assarted itself.
The next day and the next Jocko quietly
perched himself on the rim of the sky
light oyer the extension of the hatter
and began picking away the pntty about
the panes. But Jocko had not progressed
Car in liis operations before he was found
oat Then Mr. Hyman's patience gave
out, for lie saw ills living apartments
threatened, with a leak. He was not os
complacent ns bis neighbor, Mrs. Kauf
man, who satisfied her grievance by
•hooting out vengeance from her hack
windows upon the monkey. The latter
went right down to the board of health
and lodged a complaint against Mr.
Hoffmann's pet
One of Jocko's tricks is to go ont early
in the morning and steal the penniee
which are placed in milk pitchers, and
■noth** ts to gather np tatters Vbieh the
postman leaves under the basement gates
hear the' monkey’s hotn*. Whether be
▼lews tho Italian at tho comer with in
stinctive hatred or aeVBAtoral friend it
if impossible to say, bnt surf it is that
when Jocko wants a peanut or a fig he
makes no scruple of bagging one from
the stand. Another one of Jocko's cun
ning ways is to stick his snout into any
Inviting bottle of milk or dish of pud
ding that is set out of a back window to
cocL and then make his escape with his
stomach full of the delicacy.
Pending the result of the inquiry Mr.
Hoffmann is a little anxious for fear the
health board may oompel him to im
prison his dear Jocko. But Jocko runs
about as usual with no fear for conse
quences at all. One shake of his right
paw against his left whisker ‘‘fixed” the
sanitary inspector. And if that was not
sufficient Jocko knows enough to ques
tion the right of the health board to in
terfere in his case at alL—New York
World.

How u «)rrht Steelyards Suit Haded.
Two Peuobecot county fanners had
bought ;ri old fashioned pair of steel
yards, ea«;b paying part of tiie cost, and
both used them for weighing their
produce for market. After a time a dis
pute arose and both claimed to own
them. The matter wus carried into
court. A trial was held before a jury,
and the jury disagreed. Then the case,
on some technicality, was sent to the
law court, and was uguin sent back for
trial. The costs up to this point had
reached about $500, about a hundred
times the original cost of the steelyards.
When it came np again Judge Peters
was the presiding justice. He told the
counsel that, if continued, the costs
would lie increased to snch an extent
that one or the other of the parties
would lose his fanu in order to pay, and
advised them to enter it “neither party,”
and divide the cost as it was. After a
consultation the parties said that they
were willing to do that, and it looked as
though the case would be settled.
All at once one of the contestants went
over to his counsel in the court room
and asked: “But who is going to get the
steelyards? I’ll be hanged if he shall
have them.” The other contestant made
fcfcp same declaration.' Then the counsel
rose and said the case was just where it
was before any talk of settlement had
been made. They were willing to stop
litigation ami divide the cost, but “what
could Ik* done with the steelyards?”
“I'll ti* tliat,” said Judge Peters. “Let
the sheriff of the county take the steel
yards at night and go down and throw
them into the middle of the river, let
ting nobody know the exact spot, so they
never can !>e recovered by any one.”
The contestants agreed to that proposi
tion, each paid his projwrtionab* part of
the cost, and the case was dropped.—

function called a “tea." “Mv dear,*
says one girl to another. “I'm invited to

Wednesday.” “Oh. are you? Well,

thought, what is thfl meaning of "pour”
and "turn?" it was some tinio byfore
the verjM and their implied noun made
a connection in my brain, and then the
desire to stand these young women in a
comer was so intense I retired to avoid a
demonstration.
The century has indeed grown old and
lazy where the tongue finds so small a
word iS “tea” difficult of utterance. To
pour tea is about as simple a phrase ua
can lie s}>oken, and to drop the final
word tea is to render it intolerably vul

itnx>osed on servants in well appointed
houses in London, is thoroughly Amer
ican, and so, too, is the abominable fault
which has grown ont of it.—Boston

He glanced at tho bride; it was the
