A Tonjgh Rawhide Story.
A Hopkins man in an early day, re
lates that most voracious of all Missou
ri newspapers, the Hopkins Journal,
hauled lots of eonl wood and used raw
hide harness on liis teams. Uuwhitle,
we all know, expands when wet and
contracts on drying out. Well, this man
was hauling an exceptionally big load
one day wheii a thunderstorm overtook
him Just as be reached a long hill lead
ing to his home. He was walking be
side his team that he might pay close
attention to them and did not notice
what the rain was doing for his raw
hide harness until the top of the long
bill was reached, when to his utter
amazement the wagon stood at the bot
tom of the hill, the rawhide tugs being
fairly stretched into fiddle strings. He
Was puzzled for a moment, but Just
then the sun came out, and a happy
Idea found lodgment in his fertile
brain. He unhitched the team, fas
tened the tugs securely around a big
tree and went into dinner. When lie
returned the sun had caused the raw
hide to contract sufficiently to bring the
wagon up that steep hill with a mo
mentum that smashed both front
wheels when it came in contact with
the tree around which the tugs had
been fastened.

"This may be it good cigar," said a
man as lie puffed at it, standing for a
moment in the shop, "but I don't seein
to relish it. Guess my stomach's a tri
fle off."
"That's Just the way it is," remarked
the philosophic tobacconist. "About 200
persons come into this store every day.
Some of them spend $lO a week with
me for cigars, and others don't spend
$2. I lose a certain amount of this
trade every week not because I keep
Inferior goods, but when smokers get
a bit out of condition and the cigars
don't taste as good as usual they will
blame the clgurs, and off they goto an
other shop.
"But It works about the same way
with all. My dissatisfied customers go
to some other man's store, and other
men's dissatisfied customers come to
me. So It evens up in the end. Out of
every ten strangers who drop In here
for the first time to buy a cigar I know
by experience that I can count on one
or two of them becoming regulars."—

To I.uMe Fli'Mh.
To reduce the flesh one must have
the fortitude to give up a number of
the pleasant things of life, for a time
at least, and many of them for good
and all. One must, first of all, become
an early riser and not sleep longer than
seven hours. Before finishing the
morning toilet exercise for twenty min
utes with Indian clubs, dumbbells or
wands. For breakfast take no cereal,
coffee or milk, but tea, not too strong,
fruit and toast. Sugar is a fat pro
ducer; so also arc bread and sill fari
naceous dishes. Not more than half a
glass of liquid should be taken at any
meal. For luncheon partake of stewed
or raw l'ruit, a salad dressed with vine
gar and oil, green vegetables and a
chop. For dinner the bill of fare can
comprise fish, mutton, lamb, lean beef,
vegetables, especially tomatoes and
beans, stale bread and a light dessert.

A recent example of London fog was
the cause of some queer blunders. A
Bayswater bus got nearly as far as
Camden Town when the driver thought
he was headed for Portland Station.
Horses knew their way better.
A wagon drawn by two horses be
longing to a firm of grocers in Coventry
was left by the man in charge just out
side Itugby, ten miles from their des
tination. The animals started off and
were quickly lost to sight in the fog.
They reached home without mishap,
although the fog was so thick that ob
jects could not be distinguished a few
yards away. The driver, who had to
find his way oti foot, did not arrive un
til five hours later.
That Terrible Child.
The small son of a certain university
professor, whose parents are deserved
ly popular for their tact and courteous
speech, appeared at the home of a fel
low professor and hesitatingly asked
Mrs. if he might look at the parlor
rug. Permission was of course grant
ed, and Mrs. felt some surprise to
see the little fellow stoop over the rug
and stare silently for some half min
ute. He straightened himself up and,
meeting her wondering expression, said
triumphantly:
"It doesn't make me sick!"— Life.

For the average healthy man I think
there is something to lie said in favor
of a good meal even if a trifle heavy
now and then. I believe it is a fact
that the human stomach, although it
is not a gizzard, like that of a goose,
still does its work better when slightly
stretched, Just as the lungs work bet
ter with deep inhalations induced by
bodily exorcise in the open air.—Lon

Good spirits don't all come from Ken

and all the fine spirits ever made in the
Blue Grass State could not remedy a bad
liver or the hundred-and- one ill effects it
produces. You can't have good spirits
and a bad liver at the same time. Your
liver must be in fine condition if you
would feel buoyant, happy and hopeful,
bright of eye, light of step, vigorous and
successful in your pursuits. You can put
your liver in fine condition by using

His manservant entered the studio.
"Well?" said Whistler. "Lady Some
body, sir," said the servant (she was
one of the great ladies of the British
peerage). "Where is she?" "In her
carriage at the door, sir." Whistler
took no further notice of his servitor,
but resumed the reading of his proof
Bheets to me, and the puzzled footman,
who was standing behind his master's
back and facing me, shook his head
slowly up and down and, like Longfel
low's Arabs, "silently stole away."
Thus the reading went on for quite ten
minutes longer, and the reader's sole
auditor fidgeted more and more till, re
alizing how deadly cold it was on that
March day, I called out to him, "I beg
four pardon, Mr. Whistler, but I think
I overheard your servant telling you
that a lady was waiting to see you."
"Oh," said lie, "let her wait; let her
wait! I'm mobbed with these people!"
Then he went on reading for fully fif
teen minutes more, and after that (his
voice was getting tired, I dare say) lie
condescended togo downstairs and re
ceive her shivering ladyship.—F. Kep

"There used to be a cigar store round
the corner of Fifth avenue and Wood
street," said an old timer, "where they
had a wooden Indian which stood on a
platform during the day, but was al
ways taken in at night to save it from
mutilation by the boys about the neigh
borhood. Shorty Long was one of the
well known characters of the town, an
all round good fellow, who was always
out for fun. On one occasion he started
a hurrah on Fifth avenue near Smith
field street and was pursued by the po
lice, who gave him a hot chase down
the avenue and were in a fair way to
overhaul him when lie rounded the cor
ner and sprang on the box where the
Indian was to be found during the day.
There he took a position as much like
that of the wooden chief as possible,
and as he posed with outstretched arm
the bluecoated guardian of the peace
galloped past and disappeared down
Diamond alley, while the cause of all
the trouble left bis pedestal and started
out for some fresh amusement."—
