HIS MISTAKE.
Refusal to Give a Nickel to a Poor Boy
Causes a Man Sorrow.
“Yes, lie may he a fraud—probably is
one,” replied the man under the
white plug hat as lie replaced his
change and glanced at a Detroit 7' rce
Press skeptic, “but I made a mistake
on the wrong side of the ledger once,
and I don’t want to get caught that
way again.”
“flow was it?”
“Well, I’m neither a Christian nor a
philanthropist. Fact is, I’m a pretty
hard-hearted man on the average, but
I used to be a little worse than I am
now. One evening, five or six years
ago, right in front of this very store, a
boy about 12 years of age hit me for a
dime. lie had tears in his eyes, a
drawl to his voice, and I spotted him at
once for an imposter. He went on to
say that his father was sick and unable
to work, and that he himself had been
down with a fever and had no strength
to look for a job, and I laughed in de
rision and told him to clear out or J d
give him in charge.”
“It’s an old dodge,” observed the man
who was smoking a corn-cob pipe.
“Exactly, but it may not be a dodge.
I had a pocketfull of silver, and I was
too ocery mean to hand over a dime.
Suppose the boy was lying? Suppose he
wanted the money for himself? How
contemptible in me to begrudge that
trifling sum to a little chap who was
certainly all skin and bone, and evi
dently needed a square meal.”
“But it would have been encourag
ing vice,” said the man with the check
shirt-front.
“Bosh ! There are men in this city
who are looked upon as shining exam
ples, who cheat and swindle the people
out of a thousand dollars where vice
gets a shilling. This little incident
which T have been relating went out of
my mind in an hour, but next day, as T
was looking over an old tenement with
the owner, who wanted me to figure on
repairs, who should I come across but
the boy of the night before. He was
in bed and raving with fever. In bed !
Well, be was tossing around on a heap
of rags. In the same room was the
mother, trying to earn a few cents at
the washtub, but not having the
strength to work for more than five
minutes at a*time. Also, the father—
just alive with consumption, and occu
pying a bed no better than the boy’s.”
“Same boy, eh?” queried t he corn-cob-
pipe man, as the hard lines in his face
began to melt.
“The very same. There was a quiv
er in his voice no one could forget in a
day. He was raving away about this or
that, but the father was quiet and in
clined to be cheerful. As I sat down
beside him for a moment, after leav
ing a $5 bill in his skeleton hand, he
said:
“ 'Clod bless you for a good man !
When little Ben started out last night,
we hadn’t either light, fuel, or food in
the house. He met some kind-hearted
man who gave him a dollar. It might
have been you. But for that money
God knows how we must have suffer

membered how I had repulsed 1 hat boy
the thought stabbed me like a knife.
I was trying to say something to cheer
the dying man, when that fever-strick

my voice, and cried out:
“ ‘Please, mister, don’t have me ar
rested ! Don’t let’em lock me up ! I’m
telling the truth—I ain’t lying.
"lie came right over and got hold of
me, and I toll you if ever a man was
broken down it was this very individ
ual. 1 left $25 there when I went
away, and I sent a doctor around, but
inside of a week father and son were
both dead. One died blessing me, and
the last words of the other wore an en
treaty tome not to call him a fraud
and have him locked up. That’s why
my hand goes dow n for the chink when

rather give a thousand dollars to fraud
than have another honest boy die

monstrosity worth seeing.
“The most of these noisy follows are
amateur infidels. They take Ingersoll,
in fair weather and pray themselves
hoarse every time it thunders.
“A well-developed ease of cholera
morbus would knock their infidelity out
of them and leave them in a cold sweat

look around you when you invest an

You know when the first steamer cross

Queer Taxation.
Chambers’ Journal.
Many strange methods of taxation
have been adopted in this country. A
review of some of these is interesting.
The first taxed ever imposed was that
levied by Julius Ctesar, who ordered
the chiefs cf the various clans to send
annually to Home a given number of
men and wild animals—the former, he
said, would be retained as hostages,
and the latter would be used for the
great fights in the Coliseum. But very
often the men and the wild animals
were put on an equal footing and forc
ed to fight each other in sight of the
bloodthirsty and applauding Romans..
But of all the taxes ever imposed upon
a people Hie “birth tax” was the most
odious. It lasted thirteen years, dating
from 1695. Every person not in re
ceipt of alms was required to pay 2s.
for every “little stranger” that came
into existence. The tax was a great
burden to the lower orders; but the
nobility and gentry were subject to
still heavier payments than their poor-

“I
never dreamed of such a wonderful
thing as that. But the flea—I wonder
where lie comes from; he must be a
rag-weed blossom.”
But the book agent was wrong. There
was no poetry about the flea’s origin.
He comes, according to the professor,
from sawdust; yes, sawdust is the moth
er of fleas.
“Pinedust,” said the philosopher, “is
the most productive of the nimble lit
tle flea, and the knottier the pine the
further lie can jump and the deeper
bore his bill.”
There were many more other marvel
ous things that the philosopher taught,
but the telling of them would require
many books.

ITS USE FOR KIDNEYS.
Jesup, Ga., May, 25,1387.
I have been suffering from kidney disease
fora month past., and the pain in my back
was very severe. My occupation requires a
good deal of writing at night, and I suffered
all the time. I saw one mail who said he was
cured by.nsing Botanic Blood Balm, (B. B. B)

and I believe it will effect a cure by the use-

Devastation of Our Forests.
The extent to which the railroad
companies of the country are consum
ers of forest products may be suggested
by the fact that last year the Chicago,
Burlington and Quincy purchased 34,-
000,000 feet of pine, and 23,000,000 feet
of oak. Other lumber was consumed in
car building, etc., to a large extent,
3,000,000 feet of ash alone having been
required. Not only was the company
a direct purchaser of lumber, ties and
timber for the maintenance of its old
roadbed and equipment of several hun
dred miles of new line, but it opened
up a vast extent of new Western terri
tory for settlemnt, and thus greatly ex
tended the area of demand. One item
pointing to this result, is the fact that
800 new stations were, or are to be
built, as a result of new construction of
lines. Each of these stations will be a
nucleus for settlement, and around
many of them will grow up large and
small towns and villages. The con
struction of a large extent of new road
necessitates the provision of new Neighbor who has tried our great remedy. Here are the certificates

2 BOTTLES CURE RHEUMATISM.

I cheerfully state the following facts in re

My little son, 14 years of age, suffered from an
acute attack of rheumatism,caused by undue
exposure and chilling of the blood. I heard
your remedy highly recommended, and pur
chased a bottle from Moncrief & Bro., Pres

tliis bottle he became so much better that I
got the second bottle, which is now being us

removing him to a cooler summer climate
(which 1 will do) and continuing its use, a
perfect cure will be effected. I consider B.B.

THE WORLD CHALLENGED.
To pi-otluce anything like an approach to our now justly celebrated Blood Remedy, B. B. B., we make bold to
claim the following special points of value and advantage over any other remedy on the market: 1. That it consists
of the most valuable remedies known to the medical profession. 2. That the combination of the remet lies has never
been equaled;in any medicine that has ever been known. 3. Its beneficial results can be felt sooner than by the use of
any other remedy. 4. It takes less quantity and less money to produce a cure than any other remedy. We are

Down Two Years With Rheumatism
and New Entirely Well.
I have been troubled with rheumatism for
two years; liad> gotten so I could scarcely
walk, and was in pain nearly all the tin e. At
night could not sleep for ,the excruciating
pain. The bone-in one of my legs was very
much enlarged, and I feared that amputation
would be necessary. After trying many dii-
ferent patent medicines claiming to cur%
rheumatism and other complaints, I was al
most discouraged until about two weeks ago,
when I had to give up business, Mr. W. J.
Willingham, of your city, hearing of my com
plaint, advised the use of your medicine, and
assured me of his confidence in it as a cure
for rheumatism. I at once purchased a bot
tle, hoping it might relieve me, but not having
much faith in it r or in anything else; but,
thank God, I am very muen relieved, and I
firmly believe 1 will get entirely well, fhe

whatever. Am at work again, and have been

I had my case treated by several prominent
physicians, and red ved but little, if any relief.
I resorted to all! sorts of patent medicines,
spendinga large a mount of money but getting
no better. My attention was attracted by the
cures said to have been effected by B. B. B.,
and I began taking it merely as a experiment,
having tut little faith in the ultimate results.
To ruy utter surprise I soon commenced to
