Drawing out the Mean Man.
Robert Carrick, one of the rich
est bankers of Scotland a few gen
erations ago, was as mean as
wealthy. Being one day visited
by a deputation collecting sub
scriptions toward anew hospital,
lie signed lor t wo guineas, and one
of the gentlemen expressing disap
pointment at the smallness of the
amount, he said: “Really, I can
not afford more.”
The deputation next visited
Wilson, one of the largest manu
facturers in the city, who, on see
ing the list, cried: “What, Cur
rick only two guineas?”
When informed of what the
banker had said, Wilson replied:
“Wait, 1 will give him a les
son.”
Taking his check book, lie filled
in a check for CU),(XX), the full
amount of his deposit at Garrick’s
bank, and sent it for immediate
payment.
Five minutes later the banker
appeared, breathless, and asked,
“What is the matter, Wilson?”
“Nothing the matter with me,”
replied Wilson ; “but these gentle
men inform that you couldn't
afford more than two guineas for
the hospital. Halloa! thinks 1,
if that's the case there must be
something wrong, and I'll get my
money out as soon as possible.”
Garrick took the subscription
list, erased the two guineas, and
substituted fifty, ou which Wilson
immediately tore up his check.
NOT OTHER-WISE.
There is an old allegorical picture of
a girl scared at a grass-hopper, but in
the act of heedlessly treading on a
snake. This is paralleled by the man
who spends a large sum of money
building a cyclone cellar, but neglects
to provide his family with a bottle of
Chamberlain’s Colic, Cholera and
Diarrhoea Remedy as a safeguard
against bowels complaints, whose vic
tims outnumber those of the cyclone a
hundred to one. This remedy is every
where recognized as the most prompt
and reliable medicine in use for these
diseases. For sale by

that he may return to Germany
and obtain a fortune of $50,000 to
which he recently fell heir, and to
which his right has been fully es
tablished, Richard Bassler has
been pardoned by the New York
court of pardons. Bassler was
sentenced to two years in state
prison last fall on a charge of bur
glary. The story of the crime, as
he related it to the court of par
dons, was that, while intoxicated,
he fell through a store window
with no intention of stealing.
Another prisoner, sentenced for
ten years in 189fi on a charge of
breaking into a postoffice, was pa
roled in order that he might take
up the manufacture of a sewing
machine invented by him while
behind the bars. A company with
an authorized capitalization of
$1,000,000 has been chartered to
manufacture the machine. § The
pardoned prisoner is said to have
received $50,000 cash and a block
of stock in the new company.

A traveling dime museum went
to pieces in Sioux City two weeks
ago. The manager and freaks
boarded at the Park Hotel, and
owed a bill of SB2. They had no
money, but told the landlord that
ho could keep the fat woman, a
negro girl weighing (115 pounds,
as a hostage, while they went out
and hustled for the money. They
must still be hustling, for the
landlord has heard nothing from
them. Meanwhile he is feeding
the fat negro, who, he says, eats
as much as two day laborers. lie
is beginning to fear he has been
tricked.

Fence 700 Miles Long.
Helena, Mont., Aug. 24.—1 tis
proposed to build a wire fence
seven hundred miles long on the
boundary line between Montana
and Canada, the necessity for this
huge undertaking arising from the
fact that several weeks ago a large
number of cattle that had strayed
to Canada from this state were
seized by the dominion officials
on the ground that they had
been smuggled. The fence will
probably be built jointly by the
Canadian and American govern
ments and the cost will be several
hundred thousand dollars.
Falling In Love With Mother.
Of all Hie love affairs in the
world, none can surpass the true
love of the big boy for his mother.
It is pure and noble, honorable in
the highest degree to both. We
do not mean merely a dutiful af
fection. We mean a love which
makes a boy gallant and courteous
to his mother, saying to every
body plainly that he is fairly in
love with her. Next to the love
of a husband, nothing so crowns
a woman’s life with honor as this
second love, this devotion of a son
to her. And we never knew a boy
to “turn out” badly who began
by falling in love with his mother.
Any man may fall in love with a
fresh faced girl, and the man who
is gallant with the girl may cruel
ly neglect the worn and weary
wife. But the boy who is a lover
of his mother in her middle age is
a true knight who will love his
wife as much in the sereleaved
autumn as he did in the
daisied springtime.
What Children Should be Taught.
The least part of children’s ed
ucation is that which they get
from books.
They should be taught a thous
and things at home in early life
to make them good members of
society.
They should be taught to wipe
their boots when they come in on
wet days.
They should be taught to speak
softly and answer when spoken to
and not contradict.
They should be made to sit still
on occasions when they are in the
drawing-room with grow-up peo
ple.
They should be taught to use
their forks and spoons judiciously
not to spill their food or make un
pleasant noise in eating.
They should be taught not to
expect to hear their own voices on
every occasion, and not to inter
rupt older people’s conversation.
They should be taught to shake
hands with people in meeting or
parting, and to bow to people
they know in the streets.
They should be taught not to
stare rudely or to make audible
remarks upon persons and things
about them.—Southwestern Pres
byterian.
Daniel Smith died the other day
in Orville, Saginaw county, Mich
igan at the age of lit years and 4
months. He “never touched li
quor and did not smoke,” but this
beautiful record is marred by the
further statement that he “chewed
tobacco day and night.” Per
haps if he had followed the advice
of all the reformers, denying him
self liquor, tobacco in all forms,
meat, sweet foods, etc., this tough
old man might have lived to the
age of 200—that is, if he could
manage to keep from starving
while his appetite was young and
vigorous.
DYSENTERY CUBED WITHOUT
THE AID OF A DOCTOR.
"I am just up from a hard spell of
the flux” (dysentery) says Mr. T. A.
Pinner, a well known merchant of
Drummond. Tenn. "I used one small
bottle of Chamberlains Colic, Cholera
and Diarrhoea Remedy and was cured
without having a doctor. I consider it
the best cholera medicine in the world.”
There is no need of employing a doctor
when this remedy is used, for no doctor
cat; prescribe a better medicine for
bowel complaint in any form either for
children or adults. It never fails and
is pleasant to take. For sale by
