know It happened, for a friend of mine
saw it nnd told me of it nt the supper

when a man ran out of tho clothing

fast as he could go. Two seconds later
the proprietor of the store ran out bare
headed nnd followed him, yelling at
the top of his voice: 'Stop thief!'
'Stop thief!' A policeman caught sight
of the fugitive und drew his revolver to
shoot him, when the bareheaded man
bawled out: 'Shoot him in te legs! Te

"And your friend said he saw all that,

Xew York, Nov. 10.
While the political light just closed
In New York was the must eurnest ever
fought, there were side lights of humor
thrown upon it that livened up the sit
uation and mude it more beurable to
leaders and people. The humors of the
campaign were many and varied, and
the stories told by the orators were from
stale to side-splitting, but were usually
well adapted to the crowds to whom
they were told. Will Oulklns, In the
Cincinnati Commercial Gazette tells
some of thetn. He Bays that Chauncey
11. Depew was, of course, the prime
story-teller of the campaign, though
not a few others tried themselves at
funny business. At one stution atw'hich
l)ipew's special train stopped, he dis
played his ready repartee, when some
one in the crowd Interrupted hint by
shouting, "What about the New York
Central railroad?" "I'm president of
It." responded lK-pew, "but 1 can't help
that. When 1 came here 1 didn't have
a penny, and if 1 hud spent my time
loafing around, interrupting speakers
and voting the Democratic ticket I Btlp
pose I wouldn't be any better off today
than you are."
"Speuklng of railroads," said Mr. De
pew, "they are not making as much
money this year ns they did during the
World's Fair, and thut reminds me that
I was in Chicago last year and met
Christopher Columbus. 'You ilnd things
pretty much changed in the last four
hundred years, Jlr. Columbus,' I re
marked. 'Yes, was the sorrowful an
swer. 'The only thing thut Is familiar
to me is tho Democratic party.' "
Dr. Dcpew ulso gave vent to the fol
lowing jokelet:
".Some of my Democratic friends say
,1 am not going so swiftly on lny special
as Hill and Flower ure on theirs that
their trains run eighty miles un hour to
keep appointments. Well, the hound,
you kimw, was told that he didn't equal
the hare In speed. 'Of course not,' sui(t
the hound; 'I'm only, running for my
dinner und the linre Is running for his
life' That's the difference between
Hill and me."
C. C. Shayno was another of the cam
paign story-tellers, nnd gave vent to
the following as Illustrative of the fac
tiuniil light in the state and county
Democracy:
"The Democratic, party of today," he
says, "reminds me of the widow and
widower who got married. Each had
two children, and, in the course of th'elr
married life, two more children came to
bless them. One morning a terrible
racket emanated from the kitchen. The
old man went below, and presently he
was heard calling to his wife:
"Sarah! Sarah!' said he, 'come down
quick: my children and your children
are lighting with our children.' "
Senator Hill found but little In his
campaign to Inspire mirth, and he told
but. one sbu-y during the entire strug
gle, and even that wus not new. It was
something like this:
Urldget (loudly, to Pat. In the yard)
Put, Pat, come to dinner! Come In and
get your ham und eggs.

Congressman Cuniinlngs told a story
relutlve to the repeal of tho Sherman
bill by a Republican congress:
"John Allen was a country lawyer and
wus engaged to defend u' man charged
with mayhem with having bitten off
another man's ear In a rough-and- tum
ble light. The father of the defendant,
afraid that a common country practi
tioner might not be able to put on the
necessary flourishes to impress the
Jury, nssoclated with Allen a young
lawyer fresh from the Ilavard Law
school.
"John conducted the cross-examination
of u negrj witness, whom he got to
admit that tho place where the fight
occurred was a 'new ground,' full of
short stumps about six inches high,
which were very sharp at top as sharp
as a knife. In fact, some of them were
and that in rolling about on the ground
the plaintiff's head might have fallen
against the sharp point of a stump and
his eur have been cut off.
" 'Yasser,' the witness said, 'hit
nioughtter been dnt way.'
'"That will do,' said Allen.
'Hold on,' Interrupted the young
lawyer from Hurvnrd, who thought
thut Allen hadn't gone far enough.
'You say that this man's ear might have
been cut off in that way. Are you sat
isfied, sir, beyond a doubt that this is
Jhe way In which this gentleman had
the misfortune of losing his ear?'
" 'Well, boss,' suld the darkey, 'I
moughter been shure ef It ef I hadn'er
seen de yuther man spit de year outer

A TROLLEY CHAIR.
Chicago Man rind a New Applicutlou for
, . Mectrlclty. ,
A late electric! device is a chair to run
on a trolley wire. A mun can sit In this
Chair nnd fly through the air at the rate
of thirty miles per hour, provided ho
does not slip his trolley; In which event
he would be likely to come to grief.
The trolley chair was originally invent
ed for the purpose of enabling Judges
to follow a horse race around the track.
Klcliard K. Sherman, of Chicago, Is the
Inventor. 1 .
j The intention Is to suspend the car
itpon wire thre:fourths of an inch in
dlumeter. No. it) copper wire being
used to carry the tho current of 110
volts, and the supporting wire being
suspended from wooden pole at the
side of the' track. The car is made of
wood, nnd Is of sufficient size to accom
inodutc two persons. The motor i3
placed under the seat and is controlled
by a braking device operated by the
feet. The armature carries upon its
shaft n wheel belted to another wheel
mounted upon the shaft, which also
carries trie wheel by which the car lg

s u s p 1 cl o n is
strengthened by
the fact that the
untruthful reports
as to the compo
sition of Paskola
have been widely
circulated through
the malls and
otherwise. Among
the things, the so
called "chemists"
have stated, Is
that Puskola was
nothing but glu
cose and hydro
chloric, add, the
ridiculousness of
which assertion
will be inada clear
by the following i-yperlmc.it :
. Take two pint lottles and in one place
a tablenpoonful of glucose and In the
other a like quantity of Paskola; fill
them with water, shake thoroughly and
add to each forty drops of muriatic or
hydrochloric acid, in order to imitate
the acidity of the natural gastric Juice.
Having previously finely minced a quan
tity of rare or raw lean beef, chicken,
the white of hard boiled eggs or similar
foods; put into each bottle one onuce.
Immerse the bottles In warm water nnd
carefully maintain the contents at a
temperature of 100 to 150 degrees Fahr
enheit, frequently shaking In order to
thoroughly expose the food to the action
of the solution.
In the course of a very short time, the
contents of the bottle containing Pas
kola will be seen to undergo a change,
and In two or three hours the food will
will have become entirely dissolved or
digested; whereas the contents of the
other bottle containing the glucose and
acid will show no change beyond a
slight difference in appearance.
If you have neither the faculties nor
the inclination to make the test for
yourself, we have no doubt that your
druggist will be glad to try the experi
ment. The tubes herewith show the re
sults of a test made In our own labora
tory, the cuts being from a photograph.
No. 1 contained glucose, and No. 2
Paskola. What are we to conclude?
One of two things: either thut the so
culled "chemists" are Ignorant or dis
honest.' Olucosrt tins no digestive properties.
This Is a well known fact, whereas Pas
kola Is giving relief to thousands of dys
peptics, a truth attested by the unsoli
cited testimonials that pour In upon us.
The presence of digestive ferments In
Paskola cannot be determined by chem
ical test. No one has ever seen digest
ive ferments In a pur form, and the
only way to determine their presence Is
by observing the effects which they pro
duce upon food. This Is a fact recog
nized by every authority, and will be
found stated in Foster's Physiology and
other standard works.
Another thing which these Ignorant
and jealous rivals huve suld about Pas
kolu, Is that Inasmuch as its busts is
pre-dlgested slureh. It is calculated to
encourage diabetes.
We cannot better answer this charge
than by quoting a paragraph from a re
port made to Mayor Ullroy, of New
York, by Dr. Cyrus Kdson, commis
sioner of health for the city of New
York, nnd for the state of New York.
"Pre-digested starch is starch In the
exact condition that we And It prepared
by the digestive organs for assimilation.
It Is pre-eminently a fat-forming, heat-producing-
food. Under a diet of pre
dlgeated starch or glucose, a man can
perform more muscular work than un
der any other single article of foood,
without which In some form, man can
not enjoy life."
This letter from Dr. Kdson was writ
ten in answer to an Inquiry from the
mayor as to whether or not pre-digested
starch was healthful.
Paskola contains a special form of
pre-dlge,sted starch as well as digestive
ferments, and Is not alone a fattening
food but it aids the digestion of other
foods in the stomach, Just as you may
see in the above' experiment. The tired,
feeble stomach of the dyspeptic Is too
weak to do Its duty. It needs a little
