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."

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.'

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.

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.

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.
