Catarrh
IB a blood disease. Until tno poison (a
expelled from tlio system, there onu
be no euro for this loathsome ami
dangerous malady. Therefore, the only'
effective treatment is a thorough courso
of Oyer's Snrsnparllla the best of all
blood purifiers. The sooner you begin
tho better ; delay is dangerous.
" I was troubled with catarrh for over
two years. I tried various remedial,
and was treated by a number of physi
cians, but received no benefit until I
began to take Ayer's Sarsoparllln. A
few bottles of this medicine cured me of
this troublesomo complaint and com-
Eletcly restored my health." Jesso SI.
;ogga, Holman's Jlills, N. 0.
s "When Ayer's Barsaparilla was rec
ommended to mo for cotarrfi, I was in
clined to doubt its efficacy. Having
tried so many remedies, with little ben
efit, I had no faith that anything would
euro me. I becamo emaciated from loss
of appetlto and impaired digestion. I
had nenrly lost the senso of smell, and
my system was badly deranged. I was
about discouraged, when a friend urged
me to try Ayer's Barsaparilla, and re
ferred me to persons whom it had cured
of catarrh. After taking half a dozen
bottles of tills medicine, I am convinced--that
tho only sure way of treating this
obstinate disease is through the blood."

A GREAT DIVOECE CASE.
There wns a man called , Bronclthorst
a three cornered, middle, aged tnan In
the army gray ns a badger, nml dome
people mid with n touch of country
blood in hiin. That, however, cannot bo
proved. Mrs. Bronckhorst was not ex
actly yontiK. though lifteen years young
er than her husband. She was a large,
pale, iruiet woman, with heavy eyelids
over weak eyes, nnd hair that turned
red or yellow as the lights fell on it.
Bronckhorst was not nico in any waj
He had no respect for the pretty public
and private lies that make life a littlo
lens nasty than it is. His manner tow
ard his wifo was coarse. There are
many things, including actual assault
with" the clinched fist, that u-wifo will
endure; but seldom a wife can bear, as
Mrs. Bronckhorst hove, with n long
course of brutal, hard chaff, making
light of her weaknesses, her headaches,
her small lits of gayety, her dresses, her
queer little nttempts to mnko herself at
tractive to Iter husband when Bho knows
that she is not what she has been, and,
worst of all, tho love that she sjiends
on her children. That particular sort of
heavy handed jest was specially dear to
Bronckhorst. 1 suppose that he had first
Slipped into it, meaning no harm, in the
honeymoon, when folk find their ordi
nary stock of endearments ran, short,
and so go to the other extreme to express
their feelings. A similar impulse makes
n man say, "Hutt, you old beastl" when
a favorite horse nuzzles his coat front.
Unluckily, when the reaction of mar
riage sets in, the form of speech remains, '
and, the tenderness .having died out,
hurts tho wife more than sho cares to
say. But Mrs. Bronckhorst was de
voted to her "Teddy," as she called him.
Perhaps that was why ho objected to
her. Perhaps this is only a theory Cp
account for his infamous behavior later
on he gave away to the queer, &avago
feeling that sometimes takes by tho
throat a husband twenty years married
when ho st'es across the table tho same
face of his wedded wife, and knows
that, as ho has sat facing it, so must ho
continue to sit until tho day of its death
or his own. Most men and all women
know the spasm. It only lasts for three
breaths as a rule, must be a ."throw
back" to times when men and women
were rather worse than they ure now, nnd
is too unpleasant to be discussed.
Dinner r.t the Bronckhorsts was. an
infliction fetv men cared to undergo.
Bronckhorst took a pleasure in saying
tilings that mado Jiis wifo wince. When
their littlo boy came in at dessert
Bronckhorht used to give him half a glass
of wine, and naturally enough the poor
little mito ut first riotous, next miser.
able and was removed screaming..
Bronckhon.t asked if that was the way
Teddy usually behaved, and whether
Mrs. Bronckhorst could not spare some
of her time to teach the "littlo beggar
decency," Mrs, Bronckhorst, who loved
the boy more than her own life, mod
not to cry her spirit seemed to have
been broken by her marriage. Lastly,
Bronckhom used to say: "There! that U
dq, that'll do. For God's sake try to
behave like a rational womau. Go in
to the drawing rooni." Mrs, Bronck
horst would go, trying to carry it all off
with a smile, nml the guest of the even
ing would feel angry and uncomfortable.
Alter three years of this cheerful life
for Mrs. Bronckhorst had no women
friends to talk to the station was atari
tied by the news that Bronckhorst had
instituted proceedings on the criminal
court against a man named Biel, who
oertalnly had lieeu rather attentive to
Mrs. Bronckhorst whenever she hart up.
peareel in publio. The utter want of re
serve with which Bronckhorst .treated
his own dishonor helped ns to know that
the evident- ugainst Biel would be en.
tirely circumstantial and native. There
were no letters, but Bronckhorst said
openly that he would raok heaven and
earth until he saw Biel superintending
the manufacture of carpets m the Uen
trul jail. Mr. Bronckhorst kept entire
ly to her house. aiA let charitable folks
gay wttat they plewsed. Qfrinion were
divided. Some two-thirds of (he sta
tion jumptitl at once to tha conclusion
that Biel wm guilty, Irat a doten men
who knew nnd liked him held by him.
Biel wm furious and surprised. He de
nied the w'tole thing, and vowed that
he would thrash Bronckhorit within an
inch Of his life.
No jury, we knew, could convict a nuiu
on the criminal count on native evidence
in a land where you con buy a murder
charge, including the corpse, all com
plete for fifty-four rupees; but Biel did
not care to scrape through by the benefit
of u doubt. He wanted the whole tiling
cleared: but as he said oue night: "He
can urovu anything with servants' evi'
llence and 1'ye only my bare word." This
was about a mouth before the owe came
on, and beyoud agreeing with Biel we
could do little. All that we could be
sue of w.ih that the native evidence
would le bad enough to blast Biel's char-
outer for tlv rent of his service; for when
n,n:itie 1m ;iiw perjury he perjure him
etilf thoimulily. Ho does not lioggle
over tlelnil.

Biel said: ''Ilownroyou gping to prove
UP You can't say that j-ou've been tres
passing on Bronckhnrst's compound in
disguise!"
No," said Strickland. "Tell vour
lawyer fool, whoever ho is, to rret un
something strong about 'inherent im
probabilities' and 'discrepancies of evi.
dence.' He won't have to sponk. bnt it
will miike him happy, I'm going to run
tms business. '
Biel hold his tongue, and the other
men waited to tseo what would happen.
They trusted Strickland as men trust
quiet men. When tho casocamo off the
court was crowded. Strickland hung
about in tho veranda of the court till he
met tho Mohammedan khitmatorar.
Then ho murmured a faquir's blessing in
his ear, and asked him how his second
wife did. Tho man spun around, and as
lie looked into tho eyes of "Estreeken
Saliib"-his jaw dropped. You must re
member that before Strickland wns mar
ried he was, ns I have told you already,
a power among the natives. Strickland
whispered a rather coarse vernacular
proverb to the effect that he was abreast
of all that was going on, and went into
the court armed with a gut trainer's
whip.
Ihe Mohammedan was the first wit
ness, and Strickland beamed upon him
trom tho Uncle of the court. The man
moistened his litis with his tontrue. and
in his abject fear of "Estreeken Sahib,"
the faquir, went back on every detail oi
his evidence said he was a poor man
and God was his witness that ho hadfor
gotten every thing that Bronckhorst Sahib
had told him to say. Between his terrot
of Strickland, the juClgo nnd Bronck
horst he collapsed, weeping.
'liien began tuo panic among tho wit
nesses, .lanki, tho ayah, leennir chastelv
behind.; her vejl, turned grojv amV the
bearer lelt tho. court. Ho said that liis
mamma wns dying, and that it wa3 not
wholesome for any man to lio nnthnftily
in the presence of "Estreeken Sahib."
Biel said politely to Bronckhorst:
"Your witnesses don't seem to work.
Haven't you any forged letters to pro
duco?" , But Bronckhorst was swaying
to and fro in his chair, and there was n
dead pause after Biel had been called to
order.
Bronckhonst's counsel saw the look on
his client's face, and withont more ode
pitched his papers on the llltlo green
baize table, nnd mumbled something
about having been misinformed. The
whole court applauded wildly, like sol
diers at a theatre, and the judge began
to say what he thought.
Biel came out of tho place and Strick
land dropped a gut trainer's whip on the
veranda. Ten minutes later Beil was
cutting Bronckhorst into ribbons bohind
the old court cells, quietly nnd without
scandal. What was left of Bronckhorst
was sent homo in a carriage and his wife
wept ovpr it nnd nursed it into iv man
again.
Later on, after Biel had managed tc
hush up the counter charge against
Bronckhurnt of fabricating false evi
dence, Mrs. Bronckhurst, with her faint,
watery smile, said that thoro had boon a
mistake, but it wasn't her Teddy's fault
altogether. Sho would wait till hoi
Teddy came back to her. Perhaps he
had grown tired of her or she had tried
liis patience, and perhaps wo wouldn't
cut her any more, and perhaps the
mothers would let their children play
with "littlo Teddy" again. He was so
lonely. Then the station invited Mrs.
Bronckhorst everywhere until Bronck
horst was lit to appear in publio, whou
he went home and took his wifo with
him. According to tho latest advices
her Tetldy did "come back to her" and
they are moderately liappy, though of
course lie can never forgive her the
thrtwhiug that sue was the indirect
means of getting for him.
"What Biel wants to know is: "Whv

What Mrs. Strickland wants to know
is: "How did my husband bring auoh a

A CLEVER WOMAN'S WAY OF SELL
INQ SEWING MACHINES.
Curious riiftue- or Ure Seen by n Girl
Who Wont About TenrhliiB Women to
Sew on Marhlnes Customer Kept In
Cood Humor by Taet nnd PHtlcnee.
Women play a big part in selling sow
ing machines. Besides giving instruc
tions, most sewing machine companies
engage them to draw up contracts when
machines aro sold on the installment
plan. No matter how bright tho ngont's
prospects may seem, a machine is not
considered sold until the lease is in, and
in order to accomplish that much dopends
on the skill, efficiency and personality of
tho teacher. One teacher writes of her
oxperienco among New York down town
people iu this way:
"I shall never forget my first oxperi
enco. If any woman is anxious to get a
practical knowledge of human nature
my advice is to tako a situation ns
teacher on the sewing-maehlrrB itl 'an in
stallment district. Because 1 resented
one customer's impertinent nnd irrele
vant questions she called me n crank and
an old maid nil in one afternoon. A
colleague informed me that tho customer
had it 'in for tne,' and that she wouldn't
keep the machine if tho company made
her a present of it. 'All right: we'll
see,' I'said. When 1 went to tho woman's
house the next day she was crosser than
two sticks, and sho concluded her vitu
peration by ordering me nnd the machine
out of the houso.
AN IK.QOISrnVE CUSTOMKIt.
"And this was tho reason. Whon I
called on her tho first time, after asking
mo my ago, my residence, tho amount of
salary 1 reoeived, sho wanted to know
why I didn't get married. I told her in
words moro emphatic than polite that a
twelve-dollar-a-week girl would never,
never marry a niue-dollav-a-week man.
Tho woman's husband was a porter in a
storo, and earned $9 a week. No won
der she nover forgave me. '. This one ex
perience taught me a lesson, however,
and over afterward when I had a custo
mer liko her on hand 1 supplied myself
with tho patienco of Job, the wisdom of
Solomon, tho oloquence of Webster and
the suavity of n Chinese diplomat.
"The tough customer also comes in
for n sharo of my criticism. She is a
woman who permits an agent to send her
a machine on trial, and down deep in her
heart never intends to keep it. This
customer always manages to get her
spring or fall sewing done up in this
way, and to manage her I had to use my
very best verbal and thinking abilities.
Women who indulge in the petty arti
fices nro as easy to sound as an empty
barrel. Thoy nro always commonplace
and very talkative. When I came across
a woman of this .class I made it o point
to study her and her surroundings and
then I would act. If she doted on her
children 1 usually began the campaign
by kissing the baby. While o teacher for
the company I kissed babies of every
nationality, to say nothing of creeds. By
constant application I would get the
tough customer to sign tho lease in a
Week or ten days, and wheu that docu
ment really was in my possession no one
was moro surprised than myself.
DEl'INlTIOK OF SEVERAL TERMS.
" "Afraid of being cheated' is the
thought uppermost in the 'queer' cus
tomer's mind. Sho invariably proves to
bo a.good little woman who has been im
posed upon by human sharks of every de
scription. Once get her confidence and
the case is O. K.
"The 'thick' customer is the ono who
tried my patienco and made mo feel cross
after leaving her house. Dense stupid
ity is the definition of 'thick' in the sew
ing machine vocabulary. I was with tha
company 6ix months before I could ac
enstom myself to tha use of that word.
The 'thick' woman could never learn the
attachments. Her nwkwardness is sim
ply inborn, and all tho manual training
in Christendom would never make an
operator out of her.
"The 'particular customer is another
who tried me a groat deal. She is one of
those women who go through this lifo
making other people miserable.
"Tho 'easy' customer has a mania for
buying everything on the installment
plan. She would buy tho earth that way
if it wore for sale and, if ono would give
her plenty of time to pay for it. She
would 'close this week,' only alio has to
meet tho payments on some silverware,
Whon tha next week camo her exenso
was that she had to make u payment on
o bronze clock. Her husband was the
one person who didn't know anything
about the debts she contracted. I onco
leased a machine to a woman who told
me after 1 gave her tho second lesson
that she was coming up to tho office to
pay the full cath for it. Hor husband,
she said, gavo her the money. Like most
men he objected to the installment plan
The next time I called to instruct her
she astonished me by paying jJie had
changed her mind about payingoaah for
tlie machine,
" ') wanted a laoe dreaa, so 1 bought
it with the money he gave me for tho ma-
ohfne. He won't find it -out.' Tho ho
referred to was her husband, of course,
and he was employed an n Ixirtender iu
an uptown saloon. She arranged with
tlie collector to pay the installments
from tlie money she could save from the
house.
"Tlie installment plan lias its dark
side, but it haa been a real benefaction to
the poor. The discount alio veil for cash
is so small that it is not tnuoh ot an in
duoement to customers." New York

REAL ESTATE FAKIRS.
lt-ow a Young Western Man Dee' o
' Nothing- to Make Money.
"While fakirs aro numerous in all
classes of business," said a 'prominent
real estato dealer, "I think that there are
more of them in our business than in al
most any other. The real estate fakir is
usually an ambitious young man whoso
imagination has been fired by tho daring
exploits of such men as Napoleon Ives.
He thinks that in nothing elso can ho so
quickly attain riches, at the same time
avoiding the fall that blighted Ives ca
reer. "Tlieso fakirs, 'dressed in their best
suits of clothes,' call nt a broker's office,
talk of their property, of largo deals on
hand and of options held by them, ns
though they possessed tho wealth of a
Gould. The unsuspicious broker re
ceives them with open arms, bnt soon
discovers that is all talk. Thoso ad
venturers go from one offico to another,
and it is always the same story dreams,
empty dreams. Once in a while o bright
young fellow succeeds on nothing but
nerve, as did n young ncqunintanco ol
mino. Tho fellow I speak of lived by
working on a salary of $50 a month, and
decided to open a real estate office. With
a capital of flOO he rented an office, had
handsome cards engraved, and fearlessly
embarked upon the real estato market.
Ho succeeded beyond his wildost expec
tations, and is today worth $30,000, and
all iu ono year."
"What wan his method of operation?'
queried tho reporter.
"It wns simply this," responded the
broker. "The young man discovered a
vacant lot iu a desirable location for
which tho owner paid itO,CK)0 about two
years previous. He called on the ownoi
and agreed to pay him 515,000 for tho lot.
His offer was promptly accepted.
" 'Hold on,' said the- young man, '1
haven't a cent, but this is what I propose
to do: convoy the lot to mo and put th
consideration at 20,000. I will execute
a trust deed to you for $15,000, which J
want you to withhold from record for s
few weeks.'
"This was agreed to, and tho young
financier had plans and specification!
drawn, advertised for bids and received
bids running from $15,000 to $70,000,
Ho concluded to let the contract to the
lowest bidder. Now came tho vital
question of obtaining the money. The
young man was equal to the emergency.
Ho called on n well known capitalist,
showed him his deed for the lot, assured
him ho had paid $20,000 cash for it, and
stated that ho had contracted for the
erection of a $70,000 building. This,
added to tho valno of the lot, would
make $00,000. After an examination oi
tho situation tho capitalist agreed to loan
him $00,000, secured by mortgago on the
lot and the building to be erected.
"My young friond paid the $16,00C
duo on the lot, and a handsome building
now stands there. He also ref nsod $25,
000 a few days ago for a half interest in
his equity in tho property. The building
yields o good income, and in a fow yean
will pay for itself. I can say that while
this young fellow deceived in tho flrsi
instance, lie has lived up to his prom
ises and is now doing a good business.'
Another broker relates an amusing en
counter with a crank.
"Wo meet with plenty of cranks in
our business," said this broker. "Thoj
all havo some wild scheme with mlllloni
in it. One came into my office today
with a. great scheme. He assured me In
seriousness that ho would make ray for.
tuno. As I was not busy I listened to
him. His plan was to buy the space
above buildings of moderate height. 'Oi
course,' said this crank, 'we won't tell
tho projierty owners what we propose tc
do with this space, and they will think
they havo struck a snap and that we are
fools whon we offer them a fow hundred
dollars for the air above their buildings.
When we have obtained this space w
can bnilil on as high as we please. Donl
you see?"
"I failed to see, and ho left, muttering
how many fools thoro are left." Chi
