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.

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.

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.— Lewiston Journal. ■\ U ItM-M'.l l.llllgl.'Jlgfl, r It is carious to note wtiat vulgarisms creep into the American language, even the language •■•poken by well educated, not to say cult ,:red. jieople. .1 usfbit pres ent the car i,- harrowed by a plirSt*-, or rather a word, much used l»y c ur lielles who a.-sisj afternoon hostesses at that function called a “tea." “Mv dear,* says one girl to another. “I'm invited to pour fur .Mrs. Commonwealth next Wednesday.” “Oh. are you?
