“Like hundreds of other men,”
said the man who had been address
ed as juoge, “I had an idea that if I
ever became rich I’d spring a lot of
glad surprises on poor but worthy
men. One day when I had closed
out the last of my stock in a gold
mine and found that I could draw my
check for half a million I determined
to put the idea into-practice. It would
lia\ e been dead easy to send a check
to an orphan asylum or contribute
several thousand dollars to a poor
fund, but I wanted to see more di
rect benefits. On my way home I
stopped off at a little town in Wiscon
sin, and it seemed as if my arrival had
been timed by Piovidence. In a day
or two I had picked up all the cur
rent gossip. I learned that a merchant
who had been in business for 20 years
was or. the point of failure because
he couldn’t raise $2,000; also that a
carpenter had been killed by accident
and left his home mortgaged and his
widow penniless: also that one of the
church congrgations was on the point
of breaking up because of a debt
which couldn’t he paid. Here was my
opportunity to do several nice things
I didn’t propose to have any fuss
made over it, and therefore went to
a lawyer to arrange foi the donations
I wanted to make. He heard me out,
and then plumply said:
“Sir, you will be set down as eith
cr. j-fn Ur kin itiu. KLo|.
money in your pocket.
“But I wanted to carry out my
scheme,” continued the judge, “and
so I went direct to the merchant and
offered him $2,000 in cash. He finally
accepted it, but in a dubious, hesita
ting way. When I called on the car
penter’s widow and offered to <>is
charge the mortgage and leave her
$500 besides, she wouldn’t hear of it
She even got mad and showed me the
door, In the case of the church, the
preacher thought it over and decid
ed a donation might he accepted in
the name of God, hut the deacons
and others were down on the idea.
My philanthropy was growing cold
when something happened to send it
down to zero all of a sudden. As
true as you live, I was arrested as a
suspicious person, and it took me full
two weeks to clear myself! Yes, sir;
they argued that a man who wanted
to give away $4,000 or $5,000 to
help strangers out of a hole was just
ly under the ban; and the mediant
returned me the $2,000 and went
up the spout for the want of it. I
cleared myself after a while and got
considerable fun out of the proceed
ings, hut I discovered that I had
been hugging a delusion. They
wouldn’t credit me with good inten
tions, even when I walked down to
the depot to leave the town the pio
socutmg attorney of the county
walked with me, and he was pleased
to say:
“You have C"me out all right, and
are at liberty to go away, hut I
wouldn’t try it on again if I were
you. You will either be tiken for a
lunatic and sent to an asylum or
people will regard it as a case of con
science and look upon you as a great
criminal.”
He Fooled the Surgeon
All doctors told Heoick Hamilton, of
West Jefferson, O, after suffering 18
months from Rental Fisfiila, lie would
die unless a costly operation was pre
formed; but he cured himself with five
boxes of Bucklen’s Arnica Salve, the
sures pile eure on earth, and the best
sSalve in the World. 25 cents a boox.

“Touching Marriage.”
Under the above head, Miss Edna
Cain, in the Quitman Free Press, says:
“The recent so-called “romantic”
manlage of Miss Brumby, of Marietta
to an Atlanta young man illustrates the
need of stricter marriage 1 tws. The
young people, who were not babies
by any means, and should, haveknown
belter, met at a college commence
ment and married after an acquain
tance of only three days; the young
woman returned to Marietta to tell
her family leaving her husband in
Atlanta. She p.ruiitu*d her father to
persuaded her not to return to her
husband and when he came up to
Marietta with a lawyer to get her she
passed him on the street and cut him
dead. Now her people are trying to
arrange some grounds for divorce
proceedings to release her from a
marriage which she herself sees no
re.'.soii for having contracted. We
repeat, the laws governing marriage
should be stricter, to prevent peoply
who are palpably unfit and irrespon
sible, from entering a contract which
effects not only themselves but oth
ers in an important way. It is muon
better to have strict marriage laws
than it is to have s’rict divorce laws.’
On a line with what The Argus
has previously said on this subject,
it must dissent with Miss Cain in one
thing—it is not the province of the
law t«‘. mnkat jsxopii*. ( ai-« Mot) UAVfK
addition to the marriage laws could
prevent misfit and unhappy matches,
unless it contained a provision re
quiring parents to throw greater re
strictions around the associations of
their children—both boys and girls
for the misfit is often as in j irious to
the male as to the female.
Boys and girls, if they associate
with each other, will love each other
sooner or later, generally sooner, and
when thej' get to loving each other,
marriage is about the first thing they
think of. If the strict proprieties of
etiquette are enforced by tiie parents
in all their children’s conduct, there
will he no need for stricter marriage
laws, and there will he far fewer
misfit marriages and subsequent di
vorces, and unhappy, miserable girls,
and even men and women. Parents,
as a rule, recognize this fact, hut
many of them make the mistake of
reasoning that those rules are all
right for other people, hut “my hoy
wouldn’t do this,” and “my girl
couldn’t do that.” They generally
awake too late.
If tke strict proprieties of cultured
etiquette are followed in regard to
meeting, visiting, etc; their hoys and
girls will not do if, whether they
could or would do it under different
surroundings. An ounce of preven
tion is worth all tne cure in the
world.- -Dalton Argus.

A Mother Tells Ilow She Saved Her
Little Daughter's Life.
I am the mother of eight children
and have Imp a great deal of experi
ence with medicines. Last summer
my little daughter had the dysentery
in its worst form. We thought she
would die. I tried every thing I
could think of, but nothing seemed
to Mo her any good. I saw by an
advertisement in our paper that
Chamberlin’s Colic, Cholera and
Diarrhoea Remedy was highly rec
ommend and sent and got a bottle at
once. Jt p’oved to he one of the
very best medicines wo dad ever had
in)the house. It saved my little
daughter’s life. I -am anxious for
every mother to know what an ex

Now it is time for us men to
look a bit after comfort and lay
off our coats for the summer ex

In our shirt sleeves, every part
of the body is hidden as much as
it would be if our coats are on,

A Fairy Story.
What Happened When “Tim Hoss”
j Played Hurouii-al-ltasi-lihl.
One of the proprietors of big de
partment store decided tin other day
j to find out how customers were
treated in his establishment. Ho is so
seldom seen around the place that
few of the clerks know him by sight,
hence it was not necessary for him to
assume a disguise or formulate an
elaborate plon for the success of his
undertaking.
Going in the shoo department lie
j sat down to be wail lied on. A clerk
who had been in the store only a few
weeks hurried forward and asked:
i “May I show you a pm: ol shoes?
“Yes,” the mei chant said. “I would
like to look at some, hut I don’t
know as I’m readv to luiv a pair to
lay.
“Very well,” said the clerk, “we 11
see w.iat we can find.”
; Then he made some inquiries as to
i I the style his employer preferred and
i die size he wore, and began taking
! down boxes. One shoe after another
was tried on, hut the 'customer could
not , |(; HU ; te(1 . The toes were not
right, or the shape was wrogn, oi it
didn’t lit, or there was something else
about every shoe the clerk prod tied
that was not as it should he.
Three or four timer the proprietor
saul he guessed he would have to
give it up and try again^ at some
future , time, m ,, but “but ___________ 1 can’t
______ wear
1
yours for you, ami I shall not try J to
*
persuade you to bin soni Thing you
don’t want.”
The proprietor went out saving lie
might return at some future time and
try again. Alter he was gone the
head of the shoe department went
over to the new clerk and whisper
ed something to him. The latter
turned a little pale along the sides of
his nose and said:
“Then I suppose I may as well be
gin hunting around for another job.’'
On the following morning the
manager of tlu* store called the sad
dened cleik into the office and said:
“The president of tins company
went to the slice department y ester
day to get a pair of shoes.”
“Yes, I know it,” the clerk replied
“He couldn’t get what he wanted.’
The clerk gave a long sigh and
looked at the floor.
“You fold him you were not anxi
ous to sell goods if people didn’t
show proper eagerness to buy,” the
manager went on.
The clerk nodded that it was so.
“Well, do you think it would pay
i us to keep a man like you 111 our
j 1 s l H(e department?” *
Feeling that it would benefit him
>
j nothing to ... he abject, since he , was to
'■ he discharged anyway, the miserable
clerk replied:
“I suppose not. But if 1 had it to do
again I would do as I did yesterday.

charge of our clothing department,
