To take the place
of a corset-if you won’t wear
one-try the Ball waist.
That’s, just what you can
do. You can try it, and even
wear it for two or three
weeks, if you wish. Then, if
you’re not satisfied, you can
return it, and get your money.
For-Ur. by GEO. D. WHEATLEY,
A PROSPECTOR'S STOLEN FORTUNE,
lliuirilt* Coin pH n “Forty-niner” to Re. j
veal tlie IIMine Flare of 8100.000. j
“The good old days are gone.” sighed j
the Forty-niner, “and they'll never cotuo j
again When youth's pulse beats high
with pleasure, when the sky is clear
and there are no black and lowerin,
clouds on the horizon, when, in short, a
man feels that all he has to do to acquire
a controlling interest in the earth is to
apply at the office and hand in his name,
then—why. then life is worth living."
“What's the matter?" 1 inquired.
•I've been thinking again I tell you,
mv boy. it doesn't pay an old tnan to
think If he can remember without
thinking he's all right, hat when he gets
to comparing the present with the past
lie’s in a bad way. ami he’s sure to get
downhearted."
"California?"
•Yes. Can't help it. I will lie think
ing of the days of *•!!>. spite of all I' car
do. Here 1 am. getting on toward three
score years and ten. and I've only got
enough money to procure the necessities
of life. And who is thankful for that
Who is grateful for roast beef and )>ota-
toes when he has an appetite for terrapin
ami champagne? And yet once I had
more money than I could have spent d
ing tny whole life.’*
“Ilow was that?"
“In 1851 1 was prospect ing in Califor
nia. and struck it rich. My partner and
I located a claim that had millions in it
apparently. We didn't have capital
enough to work it. and so we went up to
Frisco to find a purchaser We found
him too His name wa* Moore, and he
was a well known character on the
coast. He had umde a couple of mill
ions working a mine he had bought for
$.’>00 Well, we convinced him we had
a good thing, and he gave us $ , )()0,000 in
gold coin for it. I was afraid to deposit
my share anywhere, so 1 loaded it in
flour bags on a cart and drove down to
San Jose. In the hills back of the town
was a cave 1 had discovered a year l>e-
fore. It was so situated that it couldn'
be discovered except by accident
"I buried the money in a comer of the
cave and went gleefully back to San
Jose. As soon ns I got in to town a party
of Mexican bandits captured me and in
formed mo that if I didn’t conduct them
to my buried treasure 1 was a dead man.
Life was sweet to me at that time, and 1
didn’t hesitate. They dug up tny $100-
000, gave me $200 to keep me from want
and rode off to the southward. I never
saw any of them again for ten yet
when 1 met one of the band in Los An
geles We had a friendly conversation,
in the course of which I asked him how
he and his companions knew that I i>es-
sensed the treasure.
” ‘You couldn’t have seen me carry it
to the cave,’ I said, ‘for if you ha/1 there
would have been no need of taking me
prisoner.
•* ‘No.’ he replied. *it was yonr hands.
•* ‘My hands?’
” ‘Yes. 1 was in a saloon where yon
were taking a drink, and 1 saw yonr
hands were tarnished.' "—Chicago Post.

Women Lobbyists.
Women lobbyists? They are few and
far between. The imaginative observer
nbout the Capitol will tell you that ex-
Speaker Reed moved the ladies' reception
room from its old quarters next tliewuys
and means committee to a corner of stat
uary hall, because in the former place—
a dark corridor inclosed for the purpose
—the female lobbyists were so thick ami
bold as to bring scandal upon congress.
Bnt this is not true. Women of all sorts
congregated in the old room, as they do
now when congress is in session, in stat
uary hall, it is true, bnt they are not
lobbyists.
They are women of ull sorts—innocent
young girls, mature matrons, coquettes,
designing dowugers.congressmen's wives,
daughters, friends, sweethearts. A ma
jority of them ore poor creatures with
claims on other poor creatures, looking
for congressional help in their search for
government situations. Probably there
ore not more than two or three profes
sional women lobbyists in town. The
woman as a lobbyist is a failure in Wash
ington in this day and generation.—
Washington Cor. Augusta Chroniclo.
Origin of the Clearing House.
A correspondent asks: “When and
where did she 'clearing house' originate?"
In 1775 the bankers of London rented
n bouse in Lombard street and fitted it
with tables and desks for the use of their
clerks, as a place where bills, notes,
drafts and other commercial paper might
be exchanged withont the trouble of per
sonal visits of employes to all the metro-
politun banks. Transfer tickets were
used, and by means of this simple plan
transactions involving many millions
were settled without a penny changing
bauds. The Bank of England and every
tour :rc;>?rtacd bank in London’are
members of the Clearing tlouije associ
ation. The first cleariug house in the
United States was established by the as
sociated banks of New York in 1833.—

A Certain Cure for Dyspepsia.
There is perhaps no disease so prevalent ss
Dyspepsia and indigestion, and one too, that up
to the present time nas battled the skill of the
most eminent physicians. Two-thirds of the
chronic diseases have their origin in Dyspepsia.
The symptoms aro loss of appetite, loss of flesh,
a feeling of fulnesa or weight in the stomach,
occasionally nausea and vomiting, acidity, flatu
lence, dull pain in the head, with a sensation of
heaviness or giddiness, irregularity of bo "
low spirits, sleeplessness, sallow skin, den
ment of kidneys, and not unfnnuently nal
Mon of the heart. If you are suffering with any
of these symptoms Dr. Holt’s Dyspeptic Elixir
will cure you. Prepared only by

The Treatment of Dandruff.
Dr. Edward Clarke states that he has
taut ;food results in persistent dandruff
from the following treatment: Tbescalp
should first be thoroughly washed with
senp and hot water, and then thnroughly
dried with a warm and soft cloth. There
should then bo rubbed into the scalp a
glycerine of tannin, of the strength of
ten to tiiirty grains to the ounce. Wry
obstinate ease, will require the higher
strength of tannin. This process should
be re|>eated twice a week at first, once a
week afterward. If tannin fails, as it
will in some cases, then resort is turd to
resorcin. After the formation of dand
ruff has ceased the head shonld he nibbed
daily with olive oil. containing to the
ounce ten grains of carbolic acid and a
dram of oil of cinnamon.—Lancet.
