Clerk at Gun Counter Had Sized His
Customer Up.
A seedy looking customer, with an
Arkansas mustache, a Wild West
beard of three days’ growth and an
Indian Territory look in his eye was
buying a six-shooter, in an uptown
firearm store, says the New York
Press.
“This one is $4.75,” said the clerk,
“and it’s a good gun for the money.”
“Can’t you come down a little on
that?” queried the buyer, looking up
under his shaggy eyebrows and rusty
sombrero. Being answered in the' neg-
ative, he paid the price, thrust the
gun loosely into trousers pocket, got
a supply of cartridges and went out.
“I don’t care what he does with that
gun,” carelessly remarked the clerk,
“but I know very well he has no in-
tention of suicide. He wouldn’t have
cared anything about the price, if he
had. He says he boards on the Bow-
ery; place is tough looking, but the
best he can afford, and he wants the
gun to protect himself. I’m quite sure
anyway, there’s no idea of suicide run-
ning through his head. Folk of that
sort are easy to pick out. They have
an eager, excited manner that gives
them away, and they are mostly wo-
men, too. I refused to sell a gun to
one only the other day. Oh, there’s
not so very many of them, but it’s
dead easy to know them when one
has a little experience.”

Immense Sums Paid for Tracts in De-
sirable Localities.
Leaving aside the vast valuations
added to it by consolidation, the accu-
mulations of property on Manhattan
Island alone have been astounding.
Once sold in bulk for $24, the island
now has a tax valuation, real and per-
sonal, of $2,908,755,146. Its real estate
values have risen
the initial
prodigiously from
market quotation. Im-
mense sums have now to be paid for
tracts in desirable localities, as high
as $400 per square foot having been
asked for sites in business sections,
making a price of $1,000,000 for a lot
25 by 100. Enormous fortunes have
been built up by the increment of real
estate values, the most striking ex-
ample of these being the Astor es-
tate founded on extensive purchases
of land when the latter could be had
for trifling sums. Like attracts like,
and so Manhattan is attracting to it
makers of fortunes from all parts of
the country. No other city possesses
so many millionaires as does New
York, and their presence here is no
slight factor in the running up of
property rights.—Leslie’s Weekly.
His Explanation.
“I find you are an attractive fellow,
Dickie, you know,” she had just re-
marked, brushing his hair with the
lace of her sunshade, “but, really, such
a splendidly built young man ought to
be ashamed to lie abed till all hours
instead of being out taking exercise.”
“Oh, I say,” he answered, “don’t be
hard on a chap. Fact is, it’s the gov-
ernor who’s responsible for my lazi-
ness.”
"How’s that?” queried she.
“Why, you see, it’s this way. The old
boy got an idea into his noddle some
time ago that I was drinking too much,
and wanted me to swear off. Couldn’t
do that, you know, so we compromised
on the basis of my not drinking till
dinner time.”
"Really, Dickie,” she laughed, "I
don’t see what that has to do with it.”
“You don’t?” he asked, sitting bol(
upright. “If a man can’t drink until
dinner, what’s the use of getting up
until dinner time?”
Repartee in Church.
The friendly and familiar atmos
phere of the average small rural West-
ern church some times gives rise to
embarrassments. Dr. David is a prom-
inent man in a little far Western
church, and he generally takes a quiet
little doze during the sermon. Sister
Sarah is an elderly, long-winded wo-
man, who likes to “exhort” after the
preacher has concluded his remarks.
Not long ago, at a night service, Sis-
ter Sarah arose and discoursed at
great length. The listeners became
visibly restive. Dr. David also arose
and said, bluntly:
“Sister Sarah, it would be an im-
position to detain this congregation
any longer.”
With flashing eyes Sister Sarah re-
torted:
“ ’Taint no impersition on you, doc-
tor; you’ve tuck your nap.”
Then the clergyman, with uplifted
hands, said benignly: “Let us be dis-
missed.”—Indianapolis Journal.
A Song of the Weeds.
Here s a cheer to the weeds up-sprinsing
And a song for deeds they do: P 48025,
With their flags to the world out-flinging
They stand ready to fight it through- s‘
And their dare is as pert and stinging ’
As their courage is proven true.
They are builded for war and trouble
And will neither lead nor drive;
Mow them down to a field or stubble
And it makes them but more alive-
Gut in twain, and their numbers double
And double, and double, and thrive. ’
They laugh at plowshare gleaming
And they tauntingly smile at the hoe:
They lie down, it seems, past redeeming
But in truth so both ends may grow:"
It takes doing of deeds, not dreaming.
Not to win, but keep up with this foe.
Yes, a foe are the weeds worth singing.
And a foe for the strongest arms,
And for hearts whereto hope is clinging
And for love that cheers on and charma
So a song to the weeds up-springing,
On a thousand battle farms.

suffer with sick headache frequently resort to the use of headache

dulling the sensations of the sympathetic nerves, but such medicines
never remove the cause, and to be candid, are really dangerous, death
having been known to occur directly from their use.

Doing Her Best.
A very small Philadelphia girl, im-
mediate family circle for obedience,
but her reverence, was playing in the
garden one hot summer day, when a
thunder storm arose suddenly. The
little one’s mother called to her from
the window to gather up her toys and
come in. Just then, without warning
there was a heavy peal of thunder.
Then the child, very much frightened,
paused for a moment, then looking up
to the sky said: “Oh, Dod, don’t scold
so hard; I’m hurrying all I tan.”—

The readers of this paper will be pleased to learn
that there is at least one dreaded disease that
science has been able to cure in all its stages, and
that is Catarrh. Hall’s Catarrh Cure is the only
positive cure now known to the medical fraternity.
Catarrh being a constitutional disease, requires a -
constitutional treatment. Hall’s Catarrh Cure is
taken internally, acting directly upon the blood and
mucous surfaces of the system, thereby destroying
the foundation of the disease, and giving the
patient strength by building up the constitution
and assisting nature in doing its work. The pro-
prietors have so much faith in its curative powers
that they offer One Hundred Dollars for any case
that it fails to cure. Send for list of Testimonials.
