Then the: doctor got int circulars
nnd published advertisements about
"Smiler'a Patent Health Life," and
ho secured testimonials from 1,000 or
so people, who agreed that the health
lift was the only hope for tho physi
cal salvation "of tho human race.
Pretty soon peop'o began to call to

them out to the ."Sanitarium" nnd set
them to jerking the handles. And
when a customer had pumped up oO
gallons or so Smiler would ' charge
a quarter, and tell him that three
month? of that kind of things would
give him muscles liky- a pri.e-figh'.t r.
And he weuld push the project

alil:cted with -rheumatism, or croup,
or measles, or yellow fever, or cholera

that he had to enlarge hi3 tank nud

"Whv. to keen tho nir moist. It's
healthier than dry, sir."
"It ookeJ to me as it there was
some kind. of n pump under thero."
"Oh no." stud Smiler. "those are
onlv the levers of the lift."
"Mighty qucir," said Mngmnis,
thoughtfully. "If that isn't a pump,
then I don't know one when I seo it."
So a few days later Mag'mnis came
around, with a lot of other, patients,
nnd found the doctor out They de

up a couplo of boards and ascertained
the facts iibout the pump. Then The
cross examined Smiler's tcrvaut girl,
nnd learned about tin truth, and then
went home mad. A consultation was
held, nt' which every bilious auJ rheu

language, and talked about murder
unci sudden death. Finally they 10-
solveel to prosecute Smiler for dama

pretenses. It is thought by good judges

Have you enemies? Go straight
on, nud mind thtmnnt. If they block
up your path, walk around them, and
'do your duty regardless of their epilc.
A man who has no enemies is scionm
good for anything; ho is made of thai
kind of material which ia to easily
worked, that every one ha3 a hand in
it. A sterling character one who
thinks for Inn self, and speaks what he
thinks is always sure to have ene
.mies. Thev are ns necessary to him
as fresh air ; tlu-y keep him alive and
active. A celebrated character, win
was snrrounJvd with enemies, used t
remark- "Thry are sparks which, if
you do not h!nw, will go out of them
selves." Let this le your teeling
while e-ndcavonng to live down the
scandal of those who are bittfi
against you. If you stop to dispute,
you do but ns they desire,, and open
tho way for more abuse. Let th"
poor follow talk; there will be 11 re
action if you preform but yuur duty
nud hundreds who are oneo . alienate
from you will flock to you and ut
knowledge their error.
