A SILVER TAPPING AEROLITE-
THE LAR01EST EVER SEEN IN MEXICO,
WEIOIIINO 40,000 rol'NDS.
The largest and most remarkable
aerolite ever seen in Mexico has been
brought to City of Mexico from
Jeminez in the State of Chihuahua.
The stone or metal weighs 40,000
pounds and is owned by Miguel
Andisco. the aeorehte tell about
four months ago forty miles from
Jimiez. It struck a cliS in its descent
and in its course down the mountain
side plowed a deep furrow in the
earth and rock revealing a rich vein of
silver at one point in its wake. The
claim was immediately taken up by a
practical mining man and is being
worked with great profit. The cost of
transporting the aerolite to this city
was $900. It has awakened great in
terest in scientific circles throughout
the Republic.
Leal Merit.
In the characteristic of Hood's
Sarsaparilla, and it is manifested every
day in the remarkable cures this
medicine accomplishes. Druggists
say: When we sell a bottle of Hood's
Sarsaparilla to a new customer we are
sure to see him back in a few weeks
after more, proving that the good re
sults from a trial bottle warrants con
tinuing its use. This positive merit
Hood'H Sarsaparilla possesses by virtue
of the Peculiar Combination, Pro
portion and Process used in its prepa
ration, and by which all the remedial
value of the ingredients used is re
tained. Hood's Sarsaparilla is thus
Peculiar to Itself and absolutely un
equalled in it3 power as a blood
purifier, and as a tonic for building up
the weak and weary, and giving nerve
strength.
Burdette on Christmas.
;t seems to me and it lsn t my
fault that the sunset is fairer and
lovelier than the sunrise that there
was something more Christmasy about
Christmas when I was a boy, writes
Robert J. Burdette in the Christmas
number of The Ladies' Home
Journal, in an article on "Christmas
When I Was a Boy." Its pleasures
were simpler, its gifts were heartier.
At least, I cannot remember to have
read, save in these latter years, articles
in family journals and magazines be
wailing the burdens of toil and worry
and expense in the planning and
making, or purchasing of Christmas
presents. "Krismus gifs', we called
them when I was a boy. It didn't
and doesn't have much refinement of
culture in the spelling and the sound
thereof. But the people who made
them dic'n t rush into the papers to
tell how much it cost them, and how
tired to death it made them, and how
glad they were that it was all over for
another year. But last year and the
year before I read such articles in
print. So d d you. Wherefore it
seems to me that we killed Kris
Kringle a full century too soon. We
have more currants in our Christmas
cake under the reign of Santa Claus,
it is true. But we have also more
(lies in it.
Nothing has its tips and downs like
an umbrella or monkey on a stick.

is to preach it three times a day to his

Fleering a. Maglclaa.
nermann, tho magician, once met hid
match and thus pleasantly tells how an
iuuocent-looking young man cleverly
outwitted him :
Wo were nt a private room in a hotel
one evening, and there I met some
friends, and was introduced to a simple
looking youth of the dude persuasion,
whose face was as vacant in expression
os a pound of putty. This youth had
been bragging of his powers as a poker
player, aud had made the others so
tired that they whispered me to tako
the conceit out of him for the fun there
was in it. I was ready, and we sat
down. Well, when we began the games
I allowed the yonugster to win, in or
der to get him interested, and, the bet
ter to enjoy the circus, the other
dropped out, and my victim and I had
the table to ourselves. Of course I
was to give him back whatever I won
from him, that was understood. We
made- the game a quarter ante and a
dollar limit, so that we could use
money without making any awkward
change. Every time my callow friend
won a pot, he put the silver and bills in
his pocket, nnd would chip in the money
as he needed it. After he had wou a
respectable pile, I began to get my
work in, and, by handling and dealing
the cards in my own peculiar way, I
soon had his pile considerably dimin
ished. Occasionally I would let him
win, just to keep the fun up ; and I
don't know but what I enjoyed my op
ponent's innocence as much as did my
friends. But all things must have aa
end. Finally I cleaned him out, much
to bis surprise ; and then my friends
could not keep it in any longer.
" I say, old man," said one, " do yon
know with whom you've been playiu'?"
"Yes," replied my victim, calmly
" Hermann, tho magician ; and he's a
good player."
This was somewhat of a surprise all
around. But I laughed nnd handed
him back tho money 1 had won. He
wouldn't take it. Ko, sir. Said I had
won it ; had he won mine, ho would
have kept it, and under no considera
tion would ho take it back. That was
not his way of plnyiug poker. It was
of no use for mo to protest, to tell him
I had deliberately robbed him. He
was sorry that he had got in with a man
who didn't pluy a square gumo, but
said it was his lookout. Ho ought to
have seen that ho was being fleocod,
and with his eyes wide open, too, but
ho was not tho man to sque al.
I tell you, I felt moan. I didn't
think it half ho funny then as I did be
fore. But all I could do or say wade
no impression ou my victim, and, with
a dignirled bow, he left us.
" All I can do," I said to ono of my
friends, "will be to give this money to
some charitable institution." Then I
gave the waiter one of tho bills I had
won to pay for some wine. He cam J
back with it nnd the information that
it was u counterfeit. Yes, sir ; that
guileless youth had won my good
money, and ruug in ovor a hundred
dollars' worth of pnpor on me that
wasn't worth a cent a pound. I'm
pretty good at handling cards, but
poker is n very uncertuiu game very
uucortain."
