were financially embarrassed. We are
holding one or two claims against them
and he rushod out and slapped on an
attachment just fifteen minutes before
they closed theii doors."
"Got in ahead of everyone, did ho?"
Beat every other creditor," said the
manager.
The great lawyer looked pleased.
"It was a good piece of work," he
said. "I like to see a young man with
some enterprise and brains. What did
you do?"
"I told him it was a good piece of
work."
"What!" The great lawyer looked
startled.
"Why, I complimented him for his
promptness and business sense."

asking lor more salary. Go out and tell
him that if he hadn't been here the

WISE WORDS.
Some family trees are very shady.
Opinions change and men change with
them.
Beautiful thoughts are the flowere of
the mind,
! Kind words are the yeast that raise am'
lighten home.
! One trouble sometimes makes us for
get a thousand mercies.
The effect of cruel words lost longer
than do the effect of cruel blows.
Never strike a horse that is pulling his
best, even if the progress be slow.
Resisting temptations is like banking
up your house to keep out the cold.
Any fool can attempt to tear down,
but idiocy is no help in building up.
It pleases a man more to call himself a
fool than to have another do it for him.
He who thinks he can't win is sure to
bo right about it, for he has already lost.
The love of glory can only create a
hero—the contempt of it creates a great
man.
It generally happens that insane men
at large have good guns and know how
to use them.
When a man can't make a fool of you
in any other way he can do it by repeat
ing in earnest the things you said in fun.
Never expect a man to pin his faith to
a friend; he should nail it. It is only
women who can pin things so they will
stay.
It is too often the case that a man with
one talent can marry any woman he will,
I and a woman with two talents will marry
any man she can.
The pretty attentions a young woman
shows men are really intended to catch
a prince for a husband; but, poor girl,
j she usually finds i', .necessary to com
| promise on a pauj/er.
There is nothing rjiirer than honesty,
: nothing sweeter than charity, nothing

and nothing more stendfast than faith.
Grasshopper's Lo?s in His Eye.
Doctor Baldwin says: "One day a
railroad engineer came into my office in
great pain. lie had a bandage over his
right eye. 'I am suffering frightfully,
doctor,' he said, 'with my eye. There
is something in it. I was running my
engine at a high rate of speed, with my
head out of the cab window, looking
down the track to see that there was no
obstruction. I passed through a lot of
grasshoppers, and one of them struck me
in the eye.' I examined the man's eye,
and sure enough the legs of the hopper
had penetrated the poor fellow's eye aud
were giving him great pain. The saw
like legs had almost completely filled up
the eye. I placed him under the influ
ence of ether and began the operation of
extracting the grasshopper's legs. After
a tediou3 job I succeeded in removing
the impediment, and the man got well
without his sight being affected."—

Americans' (Juiet Dinners.
"There is one peculiarity of Ameri
can life," said a famous Frenchman in
the hotel lobby, "that challenges the
attention of the Continental, and that is
the funeral aspect of the American dining
room at meal time. Your people are
decidedly English in this respect. It is
apparently regarded a3 a Lreach of de
corum for people to talk at dinner.
Perhaps it is the legitimate outgrowth
of centuries of tahje d'hote. Your pub
lic dining rooms are as oppressive as the
funeral services over the .body of one *
best friend.''— Nem York Herald.

Rainfall and Population.
The distribution of population relatir*
to mean annual rainfall indicates not
only the tendency of people to seek arable
lands, but their condition as to general
healthfulness. The average annual rain
fall in this country is 29.6 inches, but
the variatious range from zero to perhaps
one hundred and twenty-fivo inches.
Gauging the distribution of the popula
tion in accordauce with the annual aver
age rainfall in different localities, some
interesting points are observable, not
only as to the number of inhabitants in
the areas calculated, but as to the density
of population. The greater proportion
of the people of the United States are
living in the regions in which the annual
rainfall is between thirty and fifty inches;
Mr. Gannett calculates that about three
fourths of the inhabitants of the country
are found under theso conditions; and,
further, that as the rainlall increases or
diminishes, the population diminishes
rapidly. The density of population in
regions where the average rainfall is be
tween thirty and forty inches is 43.1 per
square mile; in regions where it is from
forty to fifty inches annually, the density
is si) per square milej in regions where
the rainfall is from fifty to si sty inches
annually, the density is 25.1, and in the
arid regions of the West, where the rain
fall is less than twenty inches, being two
fifths of the entire area of the country,
less than three per cent, of the popula
tion finds its home. The population
lias increased rapidly in the regions
having from thirty to forty inches aver
age rainfall.— Popular Science Monthly.

—the ordinary pill. Trouble when
you take it, and trouble wlieo you've
got it down. Plenty of unpleasant
ness, but mighty little good.
With Dr. Pierce's Pleasant Pellets,
there's no trouble. They're made
to prevent it. They're tlic origi
nal little Liver Pills, tiny, sugar
coated, aHt»-I»ilious granules, purely
vegetable, perfectly harmless, the
smallest, easiest and best to take.
They cleanse and regulate the whole
system, in a natural and easy way—
mildly and gently, but thoroughly
and effectively. One little Pellet
for tt laxative three for a cathar
tic. Sick Headache, Bilious Head
ache, Constipation, Indigestion, Bil
ious Attacks, and all derangements
of the liver, stomach and bowels are
prevented, relieved and cured.
They're the cheapest pill you can
buy, for they're guaranteed to give
satisfaction, or your money is re
turned.
You pay only for the value re
ceived. Can you ask more?
