MEXICAN SALVc. Defined by ClirU Ilallcr for I.lngen felter'n Irnrflt. "What Is this Mexican salvo I hear M much about lately T asked Jesse Llngenfelter, the veteran officer. "What is it?" repeated Chili liallor, the wit of the local police department. "Why, the greatest tiling In niateria medlca." I "I told my lieutenant the other day that ho was looking better than I had Been him for some time," said Jesse, "and he told me to cut out the Mexi can salve." "He was wrong," said Christian; "you wen- limply pumping hot air Into him. There nre different kinds of Mexican salve, Jesse, nnd as the pro cession seems to have skipped by you I will endeavor to enlighten you. A book agent calls at a house and an old maid about .r>s comes to the door. 'Howde do, Miss; Is your ma In?' spiels the agent. • She smiles and her chest expands, and he Is given entree to the house. Then he sells a book because the old muld plugs his game along. That, Jessie, Is the salve. When a man grabs you with both hands and tells you how glad he Is to see you, and then trios to make a touch, that also Is the salve. When your barber tells you _that three applications of his famous pold brick tonic Is bringing the hair back to your bald nut he Is trying to salve you." "Well, well, well," muttered Jesse, aa a prln overspread his face. "Yes, Jesse, you don't have to go to the apothecary any more for salve," continued Chris. "Nearly every guy you meet has chunks of It concealed about his person. You even get It at home. For Instance, the old lady tells you that your step Is more springy than it was before the war and asks you for a new dress In the same breath. Before the chesty feeling disappears you consent to cough up for the dress. When you begin to dig for the coin then you realize that you have been Halved. Oh. I tell you, Jesse, It Is great medicine. Some people call the appli cation of salve Jollying."—Cincinnati Enquirer. Cavalry on the Wane.
