    THK BAD BOY.
"Go away from here now." said
the groceryman to the bad boy, as
he came into the etore and was go
ing to draw some cider out of a bar
rel into a quart measure that had
flies in it. Get right out of this
place, and dontlet me see you
around here until the health officer
says that your pa has got over the
small-pox. I saw bim this morning
and his face is all covered with pus
tules and they will have him in the
pest house before night You get,
and he picked up a butter tryer and
went for the boy, who took ufe
behind a barrel of onions, and held
up his hands as though Jesse James
had drawn a bead on him.
0 you go and chance yourself on.
That is not small pox pa has got.
He had a right .with a nest of hor
net?," said the boy.
"Hornets! Well, IH be cussed,"
remarked the grocery man as he put
up the butter tryer, and gave the
boy a slice of rotten mushmelon.
"How in the world did he get into a
nest of hornets? I hope you did
not have anything to do with it
The boy buried his face in the
melon until he looked as though a
yellow gash had been cut from hie
mouth to bis ears, and after swal
lowing the melon, be said : "Well,
pa says I was responsible, and he
nays that settles it, and I can go my
wav and he will go his. He says
he "is willing to overlook everything
that I had done to make his lite
unbearable, but steering him on to
aneetof hornets and then getting
drunk, is too much, and I can go."
uO, I guefs it won't kill him very
much. He has been getting drunk
for twenty years, and he says he is
healthier than he ever was, since
his liver has got working again.
You see, Monday was a regular In
dian summer day, and pa said he
would take me and my fihum out in
the woods to gather hickory nuts il
we would be good. I said I would
and my chum said he would, and
we got a couple of bags and went
away out to Wanwatosa, in the
woods. We clubbed the trees and
got more nuts than anybody, and
had a lunch, and pa was enjoying
his religon first rate. While pa was
taking a nap under a tree, my chum
and me looked around and found a
hornets' nest on the lower limb of a
tree we were sitting under, and my
chum said it would be a good joke to
get a pole and run it into the hor
net's nest and then run. Honest, I
didn't think about pa being under i
the tree, and I went into a held and
got a hay pole and put the small
end up to the nest, and gouged the
rest a couple of times, and then the
boss hornet came out of the hole
and whistled to the other hornets to
come out and have a circus, and
they began to come out, my. chum
and me ran and climbed over a
fence, and got behind a pile of hoop
poles that was stacked up. I guess
the hornets saw my pa jnst as they
got out of the nest cause pretty soon
we heard pa call to "Helen Damna
tion," or some other woman, we did
n't know, and he took his coat, that
he had been using for a pillow, and
whipped around, and he slapped
hisself on the shoulders, and then
took the lunch basket and pounded
around like he was crazy; and birae
by he started on a run towards town,
holding his pants up cause his sus
penders were hanging down on his
hipV and I never saw a fat man run
so and fan hisself with a basket
We could hear him yell, "come on,
boys. Hell is out for noon," and he
went over a hill and we didn't see
him any more. ' We waited till near
dark because we were afraid to go
after the bag of nuts till the hornets
had gone to bed, and then we come
home. The bags were awful heavy,
and I think it real mean in pa to go
off and leave us, and not help carry
the bags." . t
"I swan," said the groceryman.
"You are too mean to live. But
what about you getting drunk?"
"O, I was going to tell you. Pa
had a buttle of liver medicine in his
coat pocket, and while he was whip
ping his hornets the bottle dropped
out, and I picked it up and carried it
home to him. My chum wanted to
smell of the liver medicine, so he
took out the cork and it studied
just like in front of a liquor store on
East Water street and my. chum
said his liver was bad, too, and he
took a swoller, and he said he should
think it was enough to cut a feller's
liver up in slices, but it was good,
and then I had a peculiar feelinz in
my liver, and my chum said his
liver felt better after he took a s wal
ler, and so I tojk a swoller. and it
was the offulest liver remedy I ever
tasted. It scorched mv throat just
... ..... . . . . .
like dipnlneria,but it beat diphtheria
or sore throat, all to pieces, and my
cnum ana me lased, we were so
tickled. Did you ever take anv
liver medicine ? You know it makes
you feel as if your liver had got on
top ot your lignta, and like you
wanted to jump and holler. Well,
sir, honest, that liver medicine made
me dance a jig on a viaduct bridge,
and an soldier from the soldiers s
home come along and asked us what
was the matter, and we told him
about our livers, and the liver med
icine, and showed him the bottle,
and he s'posed he had the worst liver
in the world, and said that the doc
tors at the iiome couldn't cure bim
It's a mean boy that would not help
an old veteran cure his liver, so I
told him to try pa's liver remedy,
and be took a regular cow swallow.
and said "here's to your livers, boys."
ne musi nave a liver bigger nor
cow's, and I guess it is better. Then
my liver began to feel euros, and my
chum said his liver was getting tor
pid for some more, and we eot ten
eroua, and give our nuts all awav to
some boys. Say does liver medicine
make a feller give away all he has
goi t we kept Ukine medicine everv
five blocks, and we locked arms and
went down a back street and sang.

. Dirut kinz." and when w
my head felt bigger nor was a wash
tub, and I thought peraps my liver
bad gone to my head, and pa came

and I slapped him on the shoulder
and shouted. "Hello. Gov. hou
your liver," and eive him the bottle.
and it was empty, and be asked sae
, u we bad been drinking that medi
' cine, and he said be was ruined, and
I told bim he could get some more
: . down to the saloon, and he took
hold of my collar and. lammed me
on the ear, and he bounced me pp
stairs, and then I turned pale, and
had cramps, and I didnt remember
any more until 1 woke up and the
doctor was over me, and pa and ma
looked scared, and the doc had
tin thing like you draw water out of
a country cistern, only smaller, and
ma said if it hadnt been for the
stomach - pump she wouldn have
any little boy, and I looked at the
knobs oa pa's face and laffed and
asksdj il be jot into the hornets,
loo.' The doc laffed, and ma cmi,
and pa swore, and I groaned and got
sick again, and this morning I had
the awlullest headache and pa's face
looks as if he had fell on a picket
fence. When I got out I went to
my chum's house to see if they had
him pumped out, and his ma drova
me out with the broom, and she says
I will ruin every boy in the neigh
borhood. Pa says I was drunk and
kicked him in the groin when he
fired me up stairs, and I asked him
how I could be drunk just taking
medicine form liver, and he said
go to the devil, and I come over here.
Say, give me a lemon to settle my
stomach." The groceryman gave
the boy a little dried up lemon,
about as big as a prune, and told
him he was a terror, and the boy
started home whistling, "There is
no place like home." Pa' Sun.
A doable Headed 'Woman.
Shortly before noon this morning
the City Hotel parlor was the scene ;
of a somewhat unusual but equally
interesting event Millie Christine,
the double-headed lady en exhibition
in the Inter-Ocean circus of J. B.
Doris, entertained a number of prom
inent physicians. This remarkable
young lady is a mulatto and says she
was born in 1S61 in North Carolina
She is below medium height, and has
two perfect formed busts and heads,
the bodies being back to back. Below
the waist she has the organism of a
single individual, with the exception
of the fact that she poe esses four
limbs. Her carriage is extremely
graceful, and she uses two or four
limbs at will in walking. Mentally,
it is a difficulty to understand the
phenomenon. She speaks of herself
and is addressed in the singular
number, and while she talks with
one head or the other, it is under
stood that mentally she is but one
person, a fact which doubtless con
tributes to the peace and happiness
of this singular being, as it precludes
the possibility of a wordy war be
tween herself, the terrible conse
quences of which can scarcely be
fancied. The lady is well educated,
speaking several languages fluently,
and singing soprano with one bead
and contralto with the other. She
sang several selections to the infinite
satisfaction of her guests. Her
weight is 205 pounds. Among the
doctors in Attendance were Messrs.
B. H. Detwiller, Thomas Lyon, Ed
ward Lyon, T. Craig Detwiller, E. B.
Campbell, G. Alyin Hill, and J. H.
De Wolf, and they were completely
mystified at the physical and men
tal phenomenon. Mr. B. II. Detwil
ler, conversed with one of the heads
in German, while Mr. I. Samson
conversed with the other in French.
This, undoubtedly, is the greatest
livinz curio6itv in the world. Go

Filial Lore.
Is it asking too much to ask
vounz men to remember that tbev
can never grow too old to cherish
and express a reverence and love for
their mothers. This may not be
fashionable, but it is a mark of gen
uine manhood. The boy who seeks
to 6how his independence, and refers
to his father and mother as "the old
man and old woman," strikes the
zait of the lowest order of manhood,
and is unworthy of all the tender
solicitude which has followed him
during childhood. The love of Gen.
Grant for his mother, and the con
siderate kindness of the great soldier
for his old father in the childishness
of his old age, is a beautiful illustra
tion of the principle referred to.
A few days ago . General Grant
brought the dead body of bis moth
er from his Eastern home to rest by
the side of his old fatner in a West
ern cemetery. It gives opportunity
to the paragrapher to mark the
event for there is no mistaking the
fact that American youth need a les-
son in reierence to nnai love ana
veneration for age.
When Grant was a student at
West Point he wrote as follows to
his mother : "Your kind words of
admonition are ever present with
me. How well do they strengthen
me in every good word and work.
Should I become a soldier for my
country, I look forward with hope
to have you spared to share with me
in any advancement I may gain,
and I trust my future conduct will
prove me worth v of the patriotic in
struction you and my father have
given me."
We commend the sentiment to
our young readers. . Don't be afraid
because you bave grown to mature
years to honor father and mother,
and to assure them ot your continu
ed love. What a blessed influence
it would exert if a multitude of the
? oung men of our cities would pause
ong enough in their excitement and
dissipation to hear the prayers and
the loved voices that go up for them
at the now silent firesides where they
were once romping boys. The old
command, "Honor thv father and
mother that thy days may be long
on the earth," is as binding to-day
as ever, and especially so to this
busy-in-a-hurrv-to-get-rich age in
wnicn we live. imer-ucean.

A Robber Rat.
About two years ago. a Mrs.
Schultz, residing on Ellis streetnear
Leavenworth, lost from her iewel
case an unset diamond of consider
able value. ' A Chinese domestic in
her employ was arrested on susoi
cion of having stolen the jewel. The
pagan strongly protested his inno
cence, and for lack of evidence he
was discharged from custody. Mrs
Schulti abondoned all hope of ever
seeing the stone again, and the mat
ter was forgotten. The strange part
of the story ocurred a few nights ago.
The family had retired for the night
wnen tney were disturbed by a loud,
scratching noise in the bathroom, as
it-some one were at work cutting
through the. windows. The male
portion of the household were arous
ed, and, armed to the teeth, thev
prepared to march on what they
supposed to be burglars. The bath
room door, was cautiously opened
and a sickly glare of light passed
over tne apartment It was strong
enough, however, to disclose to the
searchers, not a robber, but a hope
rat, which' had in some manner got
into the bath-tub and vainly endeav
oring to climb out ever the slippery
uno-hned sides.1 The scratching of '
nis ciaws against the metal made
the noise that had awakened the
family. The house doe. a Scotch
terrier, was called in to dispatch the
rodent and made short work of him
In killing the rat the dog mangled
iu ooay ingnuuiiy, cutting it open
so that tbt entrails protruded. . The
faucet was turned on to clean out
the tub and a salating spark in the
debris of the dead rat attracted at
tention, it was picked up and
proved to be the diamond which
lira. Schulti had lost two years ago.

A Slight Mistake.
A lady in West Somerville has
been much annoyed of late by a
book agent, of whom, in some un
guarded moment heretofore, she pur
chased a book, and for which reason
he has considered it his right and
privilege to call at all hours and
take up much of her time dilating
on the advantages of other books,
most of which would be dear at any
price. Having borne the infliction
for some time, she at last told him
that he need not trouble himself to
call again, as she didnt want any
book and had no time to waste look
ing at them. The very next day he
was there again, and then, entirely
losing her patience, she told him
that if he came there again he would
wish he had not A day or two af
ter,, while she was cleaning lamps,
there came a rinz at the bell, and
looking out of the window she be
held her enemy standing upon tne
steps, book in hand, gazing about
the neighborhood, nasuiy caicning
ud the pail of lamp-water, she open
ed the door, and when the roan turn
ed, with mouth open, ready to speak,
she gave him the contents of the pail
square in the mouth. The sudden
ness of this unexpected reception
staggered the gentleman, and losing
his balance be tell on tne steps Dacx
ward into a drift of snow, which
completely buried all of him but his
lees, which uselul appendages wavea
wildly in the air, while sounds of
coughing and sputtering issued from
the drift, and the thoroughly-lingered
woman stood upon the steps and
shouted : "Now, you just get out of
this, and if 1 ever catch you around
here again, IH give you another
dose." The man in the drift finally
got upon his feet and displayed to
the angry lady not the smiling and
familiar features of the book agent,
but the astonished and besmeared
countenance of a minister from an
adjoining town, whose church she
once attended and who performed
the marriage ceremony at her wed
ding. We kindly draw a veil over
the scene that followed. It is suffi
cient to say that the minister made
no more calls that forenoon, and he
complains that his food has been
flavored with a combination of soap
and kerosene oil ever since, and the
ladv is anzry because the book

The Editorial IJfe.
At the funeral of Col. I I Tate at
Williamsport, Rev. S. E. Webster
made some appropriate remarks,
among them being the following :
"A long and laborious life has
been brought to a close. The pro
fession of a journalist is no sinecure.
To have walked in the editorial
ranks for fifty years, was not to
traverse a path of roses nor to have
been borne along in indolent ease.
The life of an editor is one of many
vicissitudes, much rivalry, strong
antagonisms. o greater battles
have been - fought on tented field
with the edge of a sword, like those
battles which have been fougght
with the pen. There has been war
to the very hilt in many editorial
sanctums. To have been a journal
ist during the past fifty years of our
national existence means hard work,
heated brain, midnight oil, the suf
fering of bitter innuendo and gross
misrepresentation. And yet journal
ism is a profession of high distinc
tion, one of the most honorable and
when conducted aright, one of the
most needed. No agency, snve the
pulpit nas so educated the Benti-
ment of the public, so directed the
mind of the people, so moulded leg
islation. The press must not only
direct the thought of the people, but
do the thinking for the people.
This has been pre-eminently true
d Bring the past fifty years of our
nation s life, rso country, perhaps,
has had such a varied history, has
undergone so many changes, has
encountered so many vicissitudes.
Our changeful political complexion,
our wars, our financial cricis, our un
precedented growth, our gigantic
enterprises, and our influential
status among the nations, have all
contributed to and made necessary
the most" vigorous application of
journalistic energy. During all these
changes Col. late has wielded
strong pen, has consecrated his me
with singleness ot purpose and with
unswerving decision. 'During all
his life he has stood by the one
party, has adhered to its principles,
has fought its battles; whatever
may be men's political predictions,
however they may differ in relation
to any interest of life, they will re
spect a man of strong conviction.
A man who, believing he is right,
will standby his principles,-commands
the respect of thoughtful
men, is indeed every inch a man, is
a king .among men bv divine
ordination."
What the Perplexed Physicians do in
Cases of Kmergncy.
' I'll tell you the honest truth,"
answered the doctor. "Blight's Dis
ease bothers the medical men almost
as badlly as cancer does. Having
passed a certain stage, both point
straight to eternity. It may be un
professional to let out the secret, but
whenever a patient comes to me
with Bright's Disease, or any kidney
trouble acting like it, I tell him to
put on Benson's Capcixe Porous
Plaster, without delay."
The doctor spoke by the card.
The Capcine goes right to the spot

. "Only a Cent."
A very bashful old gentleman was
elected elder in a congregation, and
it became his duty under the regu
lations of the society to take up the
collections. , Mustering up courage
he faced the people with the basket,
and succeeded with tolerable com
fort until he came to a man whose
contribution had become so mixed
with other things that it was hard
to get from his pocket He waited
and waited, the other man hurrying
and struggling, and feeling that
the eyes of the , entire congrega
tion were . fixed on him in his em
barrassment, he naturally grew full
of suppressed excitement" In' bis
inexperience, too, be thought that
so much effort indicated a generous
contribution, and when at last it was
dropped into the basket his disap
pointment was so great that he call
ed out, "Why, it is only a centl"
"Only a cent!" . If that were always
announced it would .keep oar con
gregations in a continual uproar.

butions larger?.. t

Bank. Not Paper.
The fibered bank-note paper on
which American legal tender, na
tional bank note currency and gov
ernment bonds are printed is made
at Dalton, Mass., in an old mill,
whose existence dates back to cobn
ial times. If you should stop at the
old paper mill, with proper creden
tials, yon may perhaps be allowed
to handle a sheet of tne crisp paper,
where, as the wet, grayish pulp is
pressed between heavy iron cylin
ders, bits of blue and red . silk are
scattered over its face and silken ribs
laid on its surface. You may go be
yond, into the counting room, where
each sheet, as it comes from the
drying room, is carefully examined
and counted and then returned to
the paper cutter to be divided into
smaller sheets. If you will trace this
Eaper still further, you will find that
om the cutler's 'hands it passes
again into the counting room, and
is separated into little packages con
taining 1,000 sheets each.the amount
recorded in a regieterer, and then
packed in bundles and stored in fire
and burglar proof vaults to await
shipment to the United States treas
ury. From the palp room to the
vault the precious paper is watched
and guarded as carefully as though
each sheet were an ounce of gold.
Its manufacture is one of the great
est secrets connected with the gov
ernment's money making. From the
vaults of the paper mill at Dalton,
to the guarded store rooms of the
treasury at Washington, is a journey
of several hundred miles. In the
capacious vaults of the treasury
building, among gold, silver, copper
and nickel coins, bullion, paper cur
rency and official records, you will
find thousands of packages of the
bank note paper made at Dalton. It
comes in little iron safes, such as are
used by the Adam's Express Com
pany, and each package and every
sheet is carefully counted before the
manufacturer and express company
are relieved of further responsibility.
The paper that arrives to-day may
lie in the treasury storeroom for
years, or it may be sent to the Bu
reau of Engraving and Printing to
morrow, to return in the course of a
month's time, a legal tender or bank
note.
The Truly Honest Juror.
Some difficulty was experienced
in obtaining a jury, and the court
was getting tired of the tedious pro
ceedings.
"Call the next juror, Clerk," said
the solicitor for the hundreth time.
The clerk called out the man, and
an old man with an honest face and
a Buit of blue jean clothing rose up
in his place, and the solicitor asked
the following questions :
Have you, from having seen the
crime committed, or having heard
any of the evidence delivered under
oath, formed or expressed an opin
ion as to the emit or innocence of
the prisoner at the bar?"
io. sir.
"Is there any bias or prejudice
resting on your mind for or against
the prisoner at the bar c
"JSone.sir."
"Is your mind perfectly impartial
between the State and the accused?"
"It is."
"Are you opposed to capital pun
ishment?"
"I'm not"
All the questions had been an
swered and the court had been con
gratulating itself on having another
luror. and the solicitor in solemn
tones, said :
"Juror, look upon th6 prisoner
prisoner, look upon the juror."
Iheoldman adjusted his specta
cles, and peeringly looked at the
prisoner for full half a minute, when
he turned his eyes toward the court
and earnestly said :
"Judge, 1 11 be condemned if
don't believe he is guiltv."
It is useless to add that the court
was considerably exasperated at htv
inz lost a juror, but the more humor
ously inclined had a good laugh out
fo the old man s premature candor,
Rescued From Agonizing Death.
New YoBK-Mr. James White, 1552
Broadway, formerly chief instructor
in Dickels Riding School, in this
citv. said to a newspaper reporter.
"I broke my shoulder, arm and elbow
splitting the socket in four
parts. Rheumatism set in and I
employed the best physician. He
tried everything, but I grew worse,
and at last he said: 'I have one more
thing to try and if that fails nothing
I can give relief, and that is St Jacobs
Oil.' I used this great pain-reliever,
and am able to use mv arm, free
from all rheumatic trouble. I have
also recommended the remedy to a
number ef people, and in every case
they have been speedily and effect
ually cured." ,
The Bad and Worthless
are never imitated or counterfeit. This
is especially true of a family med
icine, and it is positively proof that
the remedy imitated is of the highest
value. As soon as it had been tested
and proved by the world that Hop
Bitters was the purest best and most
valuable family medicine on earth,
manv imitations sprung up and be
gan to steal the notices in which the
press and people or the country had
expressed the merits of H. B., and in
everyway trying to induce suffering
invalids to use their stuff in stead,
expecting to make money on the
credit and good name of H. B. Many
others started nostrums put up in
similar style to H. B., with variously
devised names in which the word
Hop" or "Hope" were used in a way
to indnce people to believe they were
the same as Hop Bitters. All such
pretended remedies or cures, no mat
ter what their style or name is, and
especially those with the word "Hop"
or Hops in their name or in any
way connected with them or their
name, are imitations or counterfeits.
Beware of them. Touch none of
them. Use nothing but genuine
Hop Bitters, with a bunch or cluster
of green Hops on the white label
Trust nothing else. Druggists and
dealers are warned against dealing
in imitations or counterfeits.
