As it happened, on a previous occasion the king had “treated” him, and it had come to the royal ears that, the courtier had not yet finished grum bling at having been “bilked.” Full of desire to repair the past, the king rushed up to bis subject. “Now, m^ dear count, I am really going to stand treqt on this occa sion,” I19 .said. Then, lo and behold, as usual, on searching for money the king found none! Luckily at that- moment ho saw through the open door the crown prince and his equerry rid ing by. The king rushed out and called to his son: “For goodness’ sake, lend me some cash. I’ve stood treat to Count So- and-so again, and if he finds himself done' for the second time he will raise a rebellion.” The situation was saved, but the court has not yet finished its laugh. —Candid Friend. Looked the Part. Senator Bard of California is said to be rather careless about his dress and is rarely seen in the frock coat and shining silk hat generally supjjosed to constitute the garb of a senator. His brother, who somewhat resembles him, is, on the contrary, very particular about his apparel. A story is going the rounds to the ef fect that the brothel’s were travel ing together through the interior last summer when they met many of the senator’s constituents. At a little station that lay on their route a rough old miner board ed the.train ^nd, holding his hand out to Mr. Bard, said: “How d’ye do, senator? Glad to see yer in these diggin’s.” “I’m not the senator,” explained Mr. - Bard. “It’s >my brother here that you are looking for.” The miner gave one withering glance at Senator Bard. “Waal,” he remarked slowly, “ef yer ain’t the senator yer ought to be, fur yer look the part an’he don’t.” * Trampe’ New Scheme. The hoboes who wander up and down the highways in Kansas have invented a plan th° J ’ furnishes them the best li- e.‘ One of the promote'- .-.chcme went to a hotel u ?he western part of the state* .<»ng since and repre sented that he was an employee of a railway company and was working on the .section near the town. He made arrangements to board at the hotel until lie had received his first check. He was given a good room and plenty to eat. Every day his dinner pail, which the landlord‘had bought for him, was filled in the morning, and he went down the track to work, as it was supposed. He board ed at the hotel for two weeks and one morning left and did not re turn. He took the dinner' pail along. Investigation proved that he had never worked on the section and the only work which ho per formed which left any visible re sults was on the credulity of the hotel keeper. for THc little qmes. py • iVaiit Anything ' . V \- Japan’s Peerage. Japan has been very busy lately creating peers. No fewer than 275 have been added to the number since the system ^was inaugurated. In 1884, when peers were first created, patents were granted to 11 princes, excluding princes of the blood; 24 marquises, 73 counts, 321 viscounts, and 74 barons. Now the numbers stand: Eleven princes, 34 marquises, 89 counts, 363 viscounts and 281 barons. *The total in 1884-was 503; today it. is 778.

How would you like’to sail sky ward for 1,500 fdet or more hanging I with your feet entangled iu a rope : find your head down ? Such was the ‘ experience of Carlton E. Myers, a < twelve-year-old West Liberty (la.) 1 boy on July 6 last. Carl was help- I ing hold a; big balloon down when suddenly it sprang into the air. His feet were caught in the ropes, and to the amazement of every one he was carried upward in the "wake of the big airship. The boy bravely clung to the line and finally caught one of the dangling parachute ropes. Twisting himself about this, lie. Saved His Lite. “I wish to say that I feel I owe my life to Kodol ’ Dyspepsia Cure,” writes H. C. Chrestenson of Hayfield, Minn. ‘‘For three years I was troubled with dyspep sia so that I could- hold nothing on my stomach. Many, times I would be unable to retain a mor sel of food. Finally I was con fined to my bed. Doctors said I could s not live. I read one of your advertisements on Kodol Dyspep sia‘cure and thought , it fit my and commenced its - use. I -.ran to improve from the first bottle. Now I am cured and rec ommend it to all.” Digests your food.’ Cure* all stomach troub les Holtsclaw’s Drugstore. CARLTON XL 14YEKB. gradually worked his way up to tho balloon. When his strange convey ance had reached the height of about 1,500 feet, a current of air struck it, and it drifted away. There was a novel and exciting chase for tin the balloon on the part of the crowd, some in wagons, somo on horseback, others on foot. After a chase of three miles the balloon was £een slowly to descend. It final ly came to earth in a field of grain, where it gently dropped the young aeronaut. A triumphal procession was formed, and the boy was car ried back home, and there a purse of a hundred dollars was raised to show to the boy how much his pluck was appreciated.—American Boy. The Siberian Tiger. While the keepers in the various zoological gardens exercise great care in protecting their charges from chilling winds, there is one member of the cat tribe who stays in an exterior cage of the lion house even on the coldest days. He is the Siberian tiger in New York’s me nagerie. Such is the climate of his native land that he need not fear anything in the way of cold that that city can produce. The Siberian tiger is probably the largest member of the cat faiqily, and some claim for him the added distinction of be ing the most ferocious. In tho win ter the exile is one of the most at tractive features of the menagerie. The colder the weather the more animated he becomes. lie paces the cage all day long with eyes glowing and head erect, longing, no doubt, to feast on the rosy children who gather in crowds before his prison. It is in hot weather that the other members of the oat fam ily have the laugh on their hand some cousin, as the saying is. The Siberian tiger has no winters of dis content; lie has summers. It is piti able to see his suffering when the sun begins to warm things up. . At such times the poor boast lies on the floor of his cage from morning to night wHh his tongue hanging from his mouth. SiV.IA. KitAJUjR CURE OF CROUP A Little Roy’s Life Saved. I have a few words to say regard ing Chamberlain’s Cough Remedy. It saved my little boy’s life and I feel that I cannot praise it enough. I bought a bottle of it from A. E. Steere of Goodwin, S. D., and when I got home with it the poor baby could hardly breathe. D’gave the medicine as directed every ten minutes until he “threw up” amd then I thought Bure he was going to choke to death. We had to pull the phlegm out of his mouth in great long strings. I am posi tive that if I had not got that bot tle of cough medicine, my boy would not be on earth to-day.— Joel Demont, Inwood, Iowa. For sale by all druggists in Perry and Warren & Lowe, Byron, Ga.
