"1)M you ever try a cayeuno pepper samhvk-h?" This question was nsked a lady to whom s'.ecpless ulghts were growing to be an almost unciulurablc burden. "Not that, but 1 have tried about everything else," was the discouraged answer. "I don't suppose, however, that It would do mo auy more good than the thousand aud one things I have tried." "I have suggested the remedy to a preat many people similarly atillcted, and in every instance good results have followed. I wish you would let me make you one." The haggard face of tho sleepless woman told its. own story. She lan guidly nssented to her friend's request, with little or no faith in Its efficacy, yet willing, like the proverbial drown ing man, to "catch at a straw" that promised any relief. A cracker was forthwith produced and quite generously buttered. A lib eral sprinkling of cayenne pepper was then added, the two halves put togctlr cr and the patient requested to par take of the spicy concoction. Strange as it may. seem, but little inconvenience was experienced. The slight smarting sensation In the mouth was soon over, and no unpleasantness was felt in the stomach. The cracker was eaten just before retiring, and very soon after the patient was sleep ing peacefully. Vir, A. W. GLEASON, [SEAL] Notary Public.

Clever SchcxucH Tliat Aid In the Per petration of Crime. "Thieves resort to clever methods to order to get away with tho goods," said an old police oiiiecr, "nud I am firmly convinced that if tlic criminals of the world would devote tho same amount of time, talent uml putience to think ing out uplifting aud advantageous schemes for humankind they would In a short while revolutionize the world In manj' useful ways. But somehow the mind of the criminal seems to he sharper. If I may say tt, and bright er and quicker than tho mlud of tho honest man. The fact may be ex plained in any number of ways. In the first place, the crlminul has noth ing to do but think out some plan of getting something, that doesn't be long to him. That is\ Ills special bust- «r ii/ t.. B.

Who would have thought of the wire saw. a thing so small that it can be slipped iu betweeirthe layers of tho shoe sole, but the criminal who l'ound in it a ready, convenient and unfailing means of escape'/ He is constantly thinking up some new scheme. Here we iind a man and woman iu a jewelry store. The womau carries a parrot with lier. The bird suddenly gets away and begius to iiutter around in the store. The jeweler is afraid the parrot will break something. He tries to catch it and succeeds after a short while. A small purchase is made. The man aud the woman leave.
