CINCINNATI PEOPLE EXCITED.
The Great Cooper, as he is Called, has Stirred up that City to
a Remarkable Degree. '
Cincinnati, O.March 27. This city
iB'st present In the midst of an excite
ment beyond anything that it ex
perienced In recent years.
. O.d and young, rich and poor, all
soero to have become beside themselves
over An Individual who was a stranger
to Clnolnnati up to two weeks ago.
Tub man who has created all this
turmoil is ' L. T. Cooper, president of
TV Cooper Medicine Co., of Dayton,
Ohl . who is at present Introducing his
preparation in this city for the first
tlm '
Cjnper is a man about thirty years of
age nnd has acquired a fortune within
the past two years by the sale of some
preparations of which he is the owner.
Reports from eastern cities that pro
ceeded the young man here were of the
most startling nature.' Many of the
leading dailies going so far as to state
tha he bad nightly cured In public
placs deafness of years standing with
one of his preparations. The physicans
Of thfl East contradicted this statement,
elaiming the thing to be impossible, but
the facts seemed to bear out this state
ment that Cooper actually did so.
In consequence people flocked to bim
by thousands ana his preparations sold
lik. wildfire.
Many of these stories were regarded
as fictions in Cincinnati and until
Cooper actually reached this city little
att- ntlon was paid to them. Hardly
had the young man arrivea, however,
wh- n he began giving demonstrations,
as he calls them, in public, and daily
Sykesvllle.

RHEUMATISM BEYOND
CONTROL .
Uric-O Treatment Advised
Very few people nowadays are free
from some form of Rheumatism. In
fart, it looks as though the disease was
fast crippling our nation. People of
means are trying the great specialists,
and they go from Bast to West and to
all part of the earh in search of med
ical help and relief.
The greatest boon to mankind has re
cently been brought abont, especially
to those who suffer with Rheomatio
Acid Poisoning. It ia a hanaieM rem
edy called URIC-O. A treatment for
the blood, bladder and kidneys. This
snarvelona remedy, taken internally,
eta In a thorough manner on the
Mood, relieving those terrible paint
that nearly erasa the mind. URIC-O k
made for Rheumatism only, and it Is a
positive cure for the dlaeaae in alllU
forma. It Is harmless Mi pleasant to
lake, eontalnlng no poison, alcohol or
whiskey, and, if taken as directed, will
eure each and every form of Rheum
tism, no matter how bad. ; . , .

met people afflioted with deafness and
with a single application of one of his
preparations actually made deaf people
hear again.
in addition to. this work Cooper ad
vanced the theory that stomach trouble
is the foundation of . nine out of ten
diseases and claimed to have a prepara
tion that would restore the stomach to
working order and thus get rid of such
troubles as rheumatism and affections
of the kidneys and liver, in about two
weeks time,
Tbis statement seems to have been
borne out by the remarkable results
obtained through the use of bis prep
aration, and now all ' Cincinnati is ap
parently mad over the young man.
His headquarters resemble a veri
table stampede. Thousands of people
are vUltlng him each day, and the
druggists are selling bis medicines In
enormous quantities.
What seems to make Cooper still
more popular is the fact that be prao
tlces extensive charitable work and has
already dispensed a small fortune among
the poor of the city.
How long the tremendous Interest
in Cooper will last is bard to estimate
At present there seems to be no sign of
a let-up. Reputable physloians claim it
to be a fad that will die out as soon as
Cooper leaves.
In jus'tice to him, however, it must
be said that he seemes to have accom
plished a great deal for the sick of this
city with his preparations.

The Crab Eating Raccoon and Pecul
iar Cruxtacean Tasts.
Wlint made the crnl eatlntr raccoon
first tnke to his queer diet? The
question Is suggested by a specimen of
this strange animal which has arrived
nt the meungerio nnd will be happy to
oblige any generous visitor with an
illustration of the quickest way to kill,
unsiiell nnd swallow u crustacean with
out nrtlflcliil nsslstnnce. of nny kind.
Doubtless the peculiarity originated in
the shore frequenting habits of the
species, nnd,' le!ng a delicate feeder,
the succulence of the crab, once crack
ed, was an obvious inducement to re
new his acquaintance on every possi
ble occasion. Originally probably a
fruit enter, the raccoon is Inquisitive
and dainty, both strong Incentives to
experiments in diet. When an Indi
vidual sees n small object be does not
understand, his actions fall under
three hemlines. He first puts the
article to clone scrutiny, both with his
eyes and. that supercilious upturned
nose of his; then he tukes it nwoy and
washes It a very characteristic action
of this water loving animal and flnnl
ly puts it to the grand test of eatable
ncss or otherwise. If It uppenrs un
palatable, he gives It to his wife. In
tills way It Is easy to Imagine how the
creek loving coon, wearying of too
much fruit, made his first crab supper
nnd, though be has never been able to
add n squeeze of lemon or brown
bread and butter to the repast, has be
come n confirmed lover of crustneea
ever since. All creatures make experi
ments of the sort and occasionally car
ry them on until they become a fixed
habit, and their whole structure Is
modified In accordance. Nntnre, for
Instance, never Intended the osprey to
live on fish. It was the temptation of
an old world trout in difficulties In
the shallows "that first led the great
hawk astray. Some small Brazilian
monkeys, again, live almost exclusive
ly on birds' eggs, nn Australian parrot
has given up a proper vegetarian diet
for nn exclusive regimen of mutton,
and many other Instances of the same
unorthodox appetites might be cited.

' A Nice Legal Distinction.
A lawyer In the Indian Territory
named McUuuu was the uttorney for a
farmer who had killed a neighbor.
McGiinn got the man out on ball on the
plea of Justifiable homicide or some
thing of the kind, ami the farmer liu
nieJIatelv took bis gun and killed the
chl'.'f witness ngnlnst him.
Naturally this nettled the sheriff and
the Judges, and they offered $300 re
ward for the murderous farmer. "Say."
said McUflnu to the sheriff, "will you
give me that reward if I get lilmT
"Yes," the sheriff replied, and McOanu
rode out to the biding place of bis
client.
The farmer came up, 'and Mc(!ann
shot him, took the body back to town
and demanded the reward. "How
about this, McGann?" asked another
lawyer. "Do you think It Is in accord
ance with the ethics of tho legnl pro
fession to take advantage of your cli
ent In that manner?" "Ethics be blow
ed!" snorted McGnnu. "I killed him In
another case." Exchange.
8gcity of Blind Horses.
The way in which blind horses can
go about without getting Into more
difficulties than they ordinarily do la
very remarkable. They rarely, If ever,
hit their heads against a fence or stone
wnll. They will slide off when tbey
come near one. It appears from care
ful observation that it Is neither shade
nor phelter which warns them of the
danger. On an absolutely sunless and
windless day their behavior Is the
same. Their olfactory nerves doubt
less become very sensitive, for. when
driving tbem, they will poke their
heads downward In search of water
fifty yards before they come to a
stream crossing the rondwny. It can
not be an abnormally developed sense
of hearing which leads them to do this,
for they will net nllke though the wa
ter be a stagnant pool. Men who have
been blind for nny great length of time
develop somewhat similar instincts to
blind horses.
French Similes For "Drunk."
The French have some Interesting
similes of their own corresponding to
the English "drunk as a lord" or
"drunk as a .wheelbarrow," says a
London writer. The most generally
recognized one In the case of "lvre,"
the Jess extreme nnd less vulgar word
for drunk,". Is "lvre comuie une soupe"
"eoupe" meaning the piece of bread
eaten with soup as well as the soup it
self, and a bouillon soaked piece of
bread offering a natural simile for sat
uration. When the less delicate "soul"
Is used Instead of "lvre," the French'
man may speak of being as drunk as
an ass, a cow, a Swiss or a thrush.
The allusion In the last case Is to the
fondness of thrushes for grapes, which
are said at vintage time to make tbem
unsteady in their flight.
Worse Inside Than Out
"If you should visit a 'Japanese
house," sntd nn oriental, "you would be
obliged to remove your shoes at the
doorway. Japanese floors are very
beautifully kept. I know of some
houses where thirty or forty servants
have no other duty than the polishing
of the floors. A young Japanese stu
dent, studying in London, bad the mis
fortune to live In an apartment house
where the Janitor did not keep the hall
in very good condition. It was a
great change to htm, and he felt it
keenly. On the approach of winter the
Janitor put up In the entrance the no
tice, 'Please wipe your feet.' The
young Japanese, the first night he ob
served this notice, took out a pencil
and added to It, 'On going out"'

Qrim Joke In a Blue Book.
A grim piece of humor appears in
the British blue book dealing with the
taxation of unimproved land values in
the colonies. The tax commissioner of
Adelaide, after referring to the inac
curate returns, says: .
"Hide by side with these Inaccurate
returns it has been pleasing to note
the completeness with which others
linve been prepared in the minutest
particulars, and we cannot fall to rec
ognlze the thoroughness of the tax
payer who returned that piece of land
of his, measuring nine feet by six feet,
in the cemetery, and under the
column 'Name of Occupier' gave that
of his departed wife."
