A LITTLE NONSENSE
ft Was Time to Hedge, So Advised the
Bookmaker.
Several turfmen were discussing
the sharp methods of a certain book
maker who adds to his income by
money lending. lie was conceded
to be a hard man to deal with.
"But I'll bet $500 that I can bor
row $i,U00 from him jon my per
sonal recognizance," said one.
"Done!" answered the crowd si
multaneously, and as he could onh
stake one bet they pooled against
him. Thinking he had a sure thing,
he went off with an accompanying
committee of two to see the nionc\
lender.
"Mr. Cash" (that wasn't hi?
name), he said, "these gentlemen
have bet me $500 that I cannot bor
row $1,000 from you. I don't need
the money, but you let me have it
for a day, and I'll divide the bet
with you."
The committee gasped, but the ef
fect of the cool proposition was un
looked for. Instead of jumping at
the chance Mr. Cash buttonholed
his interlocutor and said:
? "Did you make that bet P'
"I did."
"You bet $500 that you could
borrow money from me ?"
"That's what I did."
"Then" ? in a whisper ? "go and
hedge." ? New York Press.

Local Strike
A strike of the pumpers on the
the Buckeye lease in the employ of
the South Penn Oil company oc
curred last Friday morning, about
35 men leaving their places.
There was no trouble between the
men and the company regarding
wages or honrs, and both sides
were apparently satisfied in this re
spect; but the bone of contention
was the union to which the men
belonged. It is stited by the men
that they received orders from the
company that they mast relioquish
either the union or their jobs, and
they chose to sacrifice the latter.
Before the men struck, two or
three of their members had been
removed by the company, for the
reason, the men state, that they
were Uulon men, and this brought
about a suspension of work.
A number of men, we learn, have
been brought here from other
places to fill the vacancies. Some
returned as soon as they learned of
the situation, whiie others went to
work.
There has been no excitement
over the trouble, and the men have
conducted the strike in a peaceable
manner. The best of feeling has
heretofore existed between the men
and their superiors, and it is to be
hoped some amicable agreement
may be arrived at and pleasant re
lations resumed. ?Salem Leader.
This Parrot Damned the Yarrt ees
A parrot with a history, which
belonged to Samuel H. Miller near
Shepherdstown, died last Monday.
The bird was 58 years old. Messrs.
Morgan and Rentch Miller went to
California from Maryland in 1849,
hunting gold, and when they re
turned they came back by the Isth
mus of Panama. Here they bought
a couple of parrots, which they
carried home. One of them died
some years later, but the other was
a tough old bird and lived to en
dorse the adage that the good die
young. He was well cared for and
highly regarded by the Miller fam
ily. During the battle of Antietam,
in the Civil War, a bullet struck
the strap by which Polly's cage was
suspended, and the bird was
shocked and angered. "'Damn the ,
Yankees" it exclaimed, and was|
ruffled for quite a while. The par
rot was given to Thomas Miller, j
and when he died he left it to Sam
uel H. Miller. When it died a few
days ago it was buried on the Mil- ;
ler lot in the graveyard, in compli- I
ance with a request of Thomas Mil- |
ler.
It Saved My Hand.
Two years ago last August I cut
my finger with a broken jug. It
was very hot weather and I was
working in the bark woods. My
arm clear to my body swelled badly
and blood poison set in. I never
suffered so in my life. For twelve
days and nights I did not sleep.
My friends said there was no hope
for me unless my arm was taken off.
I used San Cura Ointment as thick
as a dollar three "times a day. It<|
stopped the pain and drew out
water, blood and dark pus, reducing
all swelling. The skin came off
my hand and arm, but thanks to
San Cura, I have a sound hand and
arm, to the great surprise of all my
friends. You do not claim enough
for San Cura Ointment,

Saw Reflection of Fire
Residents of Shepherdstown saw
a distinct reflection in the sky of
the Baltimore conflagration, though
the distance between the two plac

W&naondJcer's
Beginning
The number of men who fall
on account of lack of courage
Is enormous. Tbe number who
would refuse to let go of a dol
lar if tbey knew positively that
it would bring back two is as
tonishing. Such men merely ex
ist They don't live. They never
really amount to anything.
The men who win are the men
who think out the right course
to pursue and then back up their
convictions with their last penny
and their last ounce of energy.
The first goods John Wana
maker ever sold brought him
$35. He delivered his goods
In a wheelbarrow. He col
lected the $35 and went di
rectly to a newspaper office
and planked It down for ad

Some men would have spent
$1.50 for some cheap dodgers and
"saved" the rest. They would

"I was troubled several years
with cronic Indigestion and
nervous debility, ''writes F J.Green,
of Lancaster, N. H. ' No remedy
helped me until I began using Elec
tric Bitters, which did me more
good than all the medicine I ever
used. They have also kept my wife
in excellent health for years. She
says Electric Bitters are jnst splen
did for female troubles; that they
are a grand tonic and invigorator
for weak, run down women. No
other medicine can take its place in
onr family." Try them. Only 50c.

It is Impossible to down the
Kansas oil promoter. A Chanute
man went to Kansas City to under
go a surgical operation, a-H to
while away the time while < '?nva
lesclng, organized an oil co- j' ny
among the sargeons. Whereupon
an exchange remarks that if a
Chanute man were to meet death
in the briny deep, he would un
doubtedly "bob up serenely" a few
weeks later with a glowing pros
pectus of the "Mermaids Develop
ment Company," offering to sell a
few shares only, of treasury stock,
at 10 cents a share for the next 30
days. The Kansas promoter has
driven his predecessors in Texas
out of business.
Nearly Forfelta Hla Life.
A runaway almost ending fatally,
started a horrible ulcer on the leg
of J. B. Orner, Franklin Grove, 111.
For four years it defied all doctors
and all remedies. But Bucklen's
Arnica Salve had no trouble to
cure him. Equally good for burns,
bruises, skin eruptions and piles.
