ROBBING THE MAILS.
THIEVES WHO PLUNDER UNCLE
SAM'S POST.
Three West Virginia Mail Robbers
A Colorado Episode—The Last of
Ed. Reeves—A Year's Record.
At least one picturesque episode
marked the capture of three dcsporuto
mail robbers in Barbour county, West
Virginia. There was in that part of the
country, says the New York Sun, an or
ganization known as the Red Men. At
the beginning it was fairly respectable,
being intended for tho purpose of putting
down tramps, and included many good
citizens. But bad characters got control
of it, and it degonerated into a sort of
White Caps Society, terrorizing that re
gion, whipping prominent persons, and
committing murders occasionally. Mem
bers of tho association, while engaged in
their nocturnal excursions, woro long
robes of red stuff, rod hats and red
masks in the shape of hoods, so that
their appearanco was very awful indeed.
Three desperadoes, named Price, Kittle
and Hoffman, were tho leaders, and they
they took to knocking down postal mes
sengers and stealing letters and pack
ages. They were hunted down in the
mountains, and wero sontencod to long
terms of imprisonment. In court the
most important witness was the secretary
of tho Rod Men, named Brown, whoso
beard, measured by the official tape, was
5 feet 1 inches in length, his moustache
4 feet 2 inches.
11l a remarkable robbery near Grand
Junction, Colorado, in 1886, highwaymen
held up a mail train, having piled tiesoll
the track to stop it. They put tho con
ductor and fireman out on a pile of rocks
alongside tho track and kept them cov
ered with guns while they got tho postal
clerk and the express messenger and put
them under guard likewise. Being con
tent with pillaging the express and mail
cars, they did not interfere with the pas
sengers; but ono Englishman on his
travels insisted 011 leaving the car in or
der to soo what was going on. When
tho porter tried to restrain him, saying
that ho would bo killed if ho went out
side, he replied: "But I want to observe
how the rob a train in this blooming
country, don't you know!" Ho went as
far as the platform, but a bullet through
his hat induced him to retreat precipi
tately. Tho four robbers were pursued
by inspectors and marshals through Col
orado and Utah and woro caught.
A gang of highwaymen, lod by tho
notorious Ed Reeves, hold up a train on
the l'unhandlo road in Texas in 1887.
They robbed tho express car, knocking
the messenger senseless with a six-shoot
er, but tho postal clerk refused to open
the mail car in response to their demand.
They blew open the door with dynamite
and cut open tho pouches. Then they
went through tho sleeping cars and col
lected watches,rings,diamonds and other
vuluablcs from tho passongors. Alto
gether it was very thoroughly done, and,
besides jewelry, they secured $7,000 in
cash. Reeves was captured after a des
perato fight, during which 110 was shot
five times, and, preferring death to im
prisonment, ho offered tho Sheriff SSO to
kill him. Five inspectors and deputy
marshals lay in wait for Whitley, another
desporato member of tho bund, at his
house. When he entered they covered
him with their guns, but ho opened fire
at once and fell, riddled with bullets.
One of tho most remarkable I'ost
Office robberies on record occurred at
Minneapolis in July, 1886. Tho thioves
entored through tho stamp window at
night, closing the shutter liehind them.
Then they broke into tho safe in which
tho stamps wero kept, using a diamond
drill so quietly that men working close
by in the building did not hear them. In
front of the safe was a large plate-glass
window, but tho cold had covered it with
frost, and no one could soo through it.
Tho burglars secured 600,000 two-cent
stamps and '-00,000 ono-cont stamps, be
sides some money, tho whole amounting
to tho value of over $14,000. They tried
to dispose of their booty thro igh other
persons and wero caught in Chicago,
$4,078 worth of tho stamps being re
covered.
During tlio past year 58 Postmasters,
23 Assistant Postmasters, 45 dorks in
Post Offices, and fi(> mail carriers wore
arrested on charges of dishonesty.
Postmasters are exposed to much tempta
tion. Sometimes thoy are in tight places
financially, and it stums to bo a very
simple thing to help themselves out tem
porarily by using some of the Govern
ment cash. Every dishonest Post Office
employee imagines that his method of
stealing is new; that ho does it better
than any ono ever did it before, and that
he can elude detection; but such offenders
are caught invariably. They can never
toll when they aro being watched or how.
All new Post Office buildings are con
structed with poop-holes expressly for
that purposo. Tho rifling of letters is
the most common theft. A clerk was
caught ii the act recently at Wilming
ton, N. C. lie was so export in dis
tinguishing paper money by smell that,
after his capture, ho solooted, although
blindfolded, seven lotters containing
bank notes out of 400 placed before him,
in order to satisfy the curiosity of tho
inspectors. The method of detecting
puper currency by feeling is familiar, as
is also that of drawing a thread with a
knot on the end of it through a letter,
tho knot fetching with it somo of the
fibro from the enclosed note.
In Charlotte,N.C.,an inspector watched
an employee who was stealing from
registered lotters. Over tho post-office
is an opera house, and tho dotoctive
crawled beneath the stage so as to get his
eye at a suitable crack, lie saw the man
open tho lotters by floating thorn on wa
ter, placing thein afterward under a
press for the purpose of sealing them
with the old inuciluge. So engrossed was
the man with his schomo that tho inspec
tor was able to walk in, poop over his
shoulder, and say: "What havo you got
thero, my boy?"
"Good Lord! you've got mo," was his
answer, as his knees gave way.
A clork in tho post-office at Fargo,
North Dukota, in October, 1880, asserted
that he hud been bound and gagged by
two men who entered the building t
night, half smothered him with the bed
clothes, burned his feet with a red hot
poker to compel him to givo the combin
ation of tho safe, and shot him. Tho
trifling nature of tho wound and the fact
that his foot was hardly blistered led to
a suspicion that ho had committed tho
robbery himself, which was proved by
his subsequent confession.
What a Flat Wheel Is.
"Thoro'B a flat whoel on this truck
under this ond of the car," said an Erie
official who sat in tho back seat of tho
rear car of a passenger train to a Brad
ford (Ponn.) Era man. "That must bo
taken out. It might wreck the train."
"What's a flat wheel?" nsked the
scribe. "Listen," said the railroad man.
"You hoar that rapid pat-pat-pat of
the wheel? That's caused by the flat
wheel. On a spot on the surface of the
wheel a flat pluco is worn. It may be
done, and is generally, by setting up u
brake so tight that the wheel slips on the
rail. Let it slip but the least, yet a
small placo no larger than a silver dollar
will be worn on the wheel. The next
time the brake is set up hard the wheel
stops with that same place 011 the rail,
and it is worn larger. By the time it is
a couple of inches in diameter it begins
to pound every time the wheel turns.
Instcud of running a true circle as it re
volves, the wheel strikes flat on the rail
when the flat spot is reachod. The con
sequence is that when the flat spot has
grown to bo threo or four inches across
it is a very dangerous thing. Every
stroke against tho rail by the flat sid6 of
tho wheel is liable to break tho wheel
and ditch the train."
Around the shops and at nearly every
cripple track in tho railroad world these
flat wheels may be seen. As soon as ono
is discovered tho pair of wheels affected
is taken out and sent to tho junk track to
be cast into now machinery. Tho flat
spots are plainly perceptiblo, but they
would hardly be judged by the uniniti
ated to be of sufficient importance to bo
one of the most dangerous elements of
railroading, yet such is the case.
Docs Tea Make Lunatics?
"I never knew of a case where a man
or a woman's insanity could be traced
directly to tho drinking of tea," said Dr.
Brower, of State street, to an Evening
News reporter recently, when his atten
tion was called to the paragraph in the
London Lancet, wherein a woman who
murdered their two children was sup
posed to be insane through drinking tea
to excess.
"I have no doubt as to the injurious
ness of excessive tea-drinking, and be
lieve that with porsons mentally wrong
their case is much aggravated by its
use. Still, take tea-tasters; I never
heard of ono in that business becoming
insane, although I havo known many who
have wrecked their nervous systems in
their calling."
Dr. Lyman, of No. 60 Randolph street,
said: "Undoubtedly tea-drinking is tho
causo of many nervous troubles. It pro
duces a chronic indigestion which is cer
tainly apt to break down one's system.
I believe a porson with a tendency to
wards insanity would have his or her con
dition seriously aggravated by using tea
in large quantities. A wit has made tho
remark that tho pessimism of the Russians
is largely duo to their tea-drinking habits,
and I quite believe it. Still I do notthink
insanity would arise from this habit alone.
Combinod with other abuses of tho system
it certainly would have a disastrous effect
and might undoubtedly undermine the in- '
stitution. I believe, as tho Lancet says,
that many of tho ailments from which
women suffer are at least aggravated by
the excessive use of tea."—[Chicago

Japanese Myths.
No people in the world, civilized or
savage, believe in tho existence of so
many mythical, half-supernatural crea
tures as do tho Japanese. For instance,
they think there is a wondrous tiger, of
more then half-human intelligence, that
lives to bo 1000 years old and turns as
white as a polar bear. They also believe
in a species of fox which, if it lives to be
fifty years old without having been
chased by a dog, transforms himself into
a beatifull women. This same fox, if ho
lives to tho ago of 100 years, gains some
now powers, among which is that of
becoming a wonderful wizard. When
ho reaches the age of 1000 years, he
becomes a celestial fox with nine golden
colored tails, and has the power of going
to heaven whenovor ho chooses. They
also believe in a multitudo of animals
distinguished mainly by their monstrous
' size, or by tho multiplication of their
I membors. Among these are serpents 800
I feet long and large enough to swallow an
elephant, foxes with eight legs, monkeys
! with four eurs, fishes with ton houds ut
( tached to one body tho flesh of which is a
, cure for boils. They also believe in tho
existence of a crane which, after it has
I reached the ago of 600 years, has no need
of any sustenance except water. Their
I mythical dragon has tho head of a camel,
tho horns of a deer, the eyes of a demon,
[ the ears of an ox, tho body of a serpent,
the scales of a fish and claws and wings
of an euglo.—[Picayune.
A Man Saved by a Seabird.
A vessel was plowing through the
waters of tho South Atlantic when a cry
of "Man overboard!" was heard. Tho
man at tho wheel brought the ship up in
the wind and boats were lowered, but by
tho time this was accomplished tho sailor
was a quartet ola mile astern.
110 kept up, however, and as the boat
approached a big albatross was seen to
dart at him, and the next moment to
struggle: then away went the bird, flap
ping violently,towing the sailor along tho
surface.
The men had to pull hard to gain upon
it, and then it was found that the sailor
was uninjured and perhaps had been
saved by tho bird.
lie was almost exhausted when the
albatross flew over him in evident curi
osity: as it passed he seized its feet.
Tho bird, in its fear and terror, was
strong enough to tow him along the sur
face at a rapid rate. —[Boston Globe.
Their Ear Drums Burst.
Tho trial of tho new heavy guns of tho
United States monitor Miuntonomoh at
Gardiner's Bay, Long Island, was at
tended with a most peculiar accident to
threo of the officers of that vessel, all of
whom had their car drums burst by the
concussion following a heavy discharge.
Surgeon Kand refused to discuss the sub
ject beyond saying that had proper care
been exercised the accident would not
have happened.
As ono of tho first precautions taught
in tho navy is to stand on tiptoe with
mouth open when hoavy guns are being
fired, there was considerable surpriso at
tho navy yard upon learning of the acci
dent. Unless the injured men had par
ticularly sensitive eardrums the accident
could not have happened without care

Relics of the Revolution.
Two cannon balls havo beon found at
tho Glen Mills (Pcnn.) stone quarries,
imbedded in rock about twenty l'eot bo

mainder was earth in which trees and un

MODERN NECKLACES.
The modern necklace becomes more
and more resplendent ; still there is a
fancy for tho simplo old necklets that
girls wore fifty years ago, whore a tiny
gold chuin supports a heart or locket.
Tho prottiost of these necklets have an
ennmollod flower, diamond tip pod and
with a diamond heart. Such a pretty

GLOVE REFORM NEEDED.
Undoubtedly the portion of a lady's
apparel which most needs to be reformed
is her glove.
The fingers aro just long enough to
cripple the victim by tying her digits to
gether at tho second joint. The hand,
from tho wrist to tho knuckles, is cruelly
squeezed and distorted out of all shape
or semblance to a human hand.
Attached to tho portion of the wretched
aft'air already describod is a great waste
of muterial long enough to reach half
way to tho elbow and wido enough to
encircle tho neck.
This flabby and useless part, mortally
offensive to the sight, invariably wrinkles
down about the wrist, to complete tho
woful demonstration of the enslavement
of humanity to tyrannical and senseless
fashion.—[Buffalo (N. Y.) Courier.
THE RUSSIAN BLOUSE.
One of tho noveltios of tho winter is J

NEWSPAPERS FOR GIRLS.
Miss Clara Conway, principal of the
Conway Institute, at Memphis, keops in
tho reading-room of her school all the
leading newspapers on file, and half of
the reading lessons in each class are taken
from some ono of theso. At first it was
tho custom of Miss Conway to expurgate
tho papers—aftor Profossor Rolfe's
fashion of treating Shakespoaro—but
lately sho has adopted the moro liberal
method of opening tho paper in class
just as it comes from tho press, and de
ponding upon herself on tho moment to
make selections. It is a pity Miss Con
way's admirable method of teaching the
contemporary history of the day is not
in general use in schools. It is oven a
better plan than requiring children to
read a newspaper at homo. At ono of
tho fine private schools in this citv oacli
class has a bullotin board, and when tho
pupils come in tho morning each ono is
required to write on tho board an item of
news from the morning paper. At ono

tho Weekly Picayune is used as a class
reader, a compliment that is justly ap

WOMEN AS DOCTORS.
The increase of women doctors in Now
\ork lately has been so marked us to
attract tho attention of tho press of that
city to the fact. A great many of them
urc now admitted as staff physiciuns to
tho dillerout hospitals and dispensaries,
and where they aro doing wonderfully
good work. Ouo groat advantage that
they scorn to have over their rivals of
the othor sex is that they can tack out
thoir B'gu and then go as professional
nurses until busines comes to them. The
male doctor often has to starve through
a course of a year or two, and then ho
frequently fails to make enough to keep
tho pot boiling. Women doctors are gen
erally proficient nurses, and they are ;
trained by nature uud study to cure for !
the sick. I hey can tako 11 patient and j
proscribe for him, and then watch by |
the bodsido until all is over. At tho end !
double fees urn demanded -the regular
doctor's foes for prescribing- and then
tho nurse's salary for watching and
nursing tho patient according to the pre
scriptions mado out by herself. There
is, no doubt, but a great advantage is ob
tained in this way, and the nurse and
doctor arc both held responsible for any
mistake. Among babies and women the
female doctor has a ftold which si.o is
gradually making a specialty,and where,
too, it inn}* bo added, she is especially
welcomed by those uhochoesoto employ
her.--[Chicago Post
FASHION NOTES
Most of tho new felt hats have shaggy
brims.
Accordion-pleated skirts aresti!l fush
iouablo.
Pluck gronudine is embroidered with
fine jets.
Striped batisto is among the early
spring goods,
Grenadino having grauuutod stripes of
satin is worn.
Corded crepons aro used for youthful
evening gowns.
Black ground China silks wo suitublo
for tho ourlv scasou.
Thin silk is admirable for lining the
French made dress skirts.
Chilian ruffling is used for fancy work
in place of silk ruffles.
Pine-green and swallow-blu< cloths
trimmed with Astrucbun form some of
I the elegant winter clouks sent from
Paris.
Many of the dressy bodices for slen
der, youthful wearers are sharply
pointed and fasten under the arm or else
in the back.
The Bolero, or Spanish hat of velvel
bearing that name, is the very genera
accompaniment of the long, stately Rus
sian cloaks of cloth trimmed with fur.
The peculiar style of some of the
winter coats —military in effect —consists
in the perfectly trim lit of the shoulders;
consequently they are slightly padded.
Bonnets made of tweed, Bodford cord,
cheviot, cloth or any other wool fubric
matching the tailor costume are still in
high favor with stylish women both here
and abroad.
Pretty round hats of heliotrope, sage
green, old rose, dahliu, and Venetian
brown are made of soft French felt, trim
med prettily but economically with a
clustor of black ostrich tips and satin
ribbon loops.
Ingenuity has apparently reached its
limit in the designing of millinery orna
ments, recourse finally having been had
to a diminutive gridiron, a tiny gold hay
rake and a pearl-studded harpoon where
with to deck bouuets.
In garnitures this season tho real nov
elties and elegances aro in the form of
various kinds of mingled open work and
solid embroideries and cut work in vel
vet. In the production of embroideries
upon cloth and othor fabrics Venetian
designs havo been largely followed.
Some of the new silks aro woven in
raised cord stripes, and also with satin
stripos on silk grounds for young girls'
evening dresses. Lovely tinted satins
strewn with small bouquets of fiowors in
natural colors are used for tho bodice
and train, the sheath potticoat being of
plain satin.
A stylish Bubens lmt of black velvet
has a medium soized crown that is sur
rounderod by a full-pleated rucho of tho
velvet, and is lined with scarlet satin.
Tho pleating is so urranged that only
glimpses of the brilliant color show hero
and there. This is all tho trimming there
is on the hat, except threo black plumes,
short and full, set at tho back among a
I number of satin-lined velvet folds.
| Many fashionablo women in New York
aro for tho moment wearing picturesque
round hats which come well over thofuco
in preforenco to bonnets or toques of
I any sort. Those are really more comfor
table (if not so dignified) than a bonnet,
as they protect the whole of the head and
brow, a mutter of no little importanco
theso damp and gusty winter days.
The princess dress appears in a now i
shape exclusively for tea-gown models. I
Tho princess proper, as everybody knows,
is high-necked and mado with skirt and
bodice in one. Tho new shape, called
tho Turkish kaftan in its novel guise,
will be worn with a straight open robe or
redingoto above, often without sleeves,
those of tho oloso under-dress taking
thoir placo.
India red is tho name given to a now
street shade of that color, which appears
in cloth and in silk and wool fabrics. It
is a beautiful dye, between that of a
crimson rose and a rich plum color. It
is exceedingly becoming to women both
fair and dark, and ono of tho very best
shades that tho neutral toned typo could
possibly select. Tho color is so deep
that it is not in the least conspicuous.
Table centres—by which are meant the
variously shaped ornamental pieces of
needlowork with which it is customary
to adorn tho dinner-table—are 110 longer
confinod to that placo ulone. Tho da
mask cloth removed, tho needlework is
replaced, and forms a bright patch of
color, which is a roliof from the broad ex
panso of the ordinary tablo cover. In
tho sitting-room this urtistic patch is also
seen.

citol by tho publication in English of
Professor Lombroso's work on "Insanity
and Genius." It is a work in which the
author claims that genius is the evidonco
of a degenorativo taint, and is, in fact,
an "epileptoid degenerative psychosis."
Wo trust that our readers will not bo
made to fool a sense of apprehension
concorning their own montal soundness
by Profossor Lombroso's thosis, says
tho Scientific American. It is ono that
has boon worked at befuro by Moreau do
Tours and a good many others, and
neither the world in goneral nor the niodi
cul profession in particular has boon
seriously impressed by it. Men of gonius
havo not, as a rule, been mad, except
with nn insanity of n scientific and schol
astic kind, such as the world really needs
more of. Tho eccentricities, monomanias,
j and emotional exaltations of gonius havo
been incidental, mid wore not the basis of
thoir character and temperament. Insan
ity is essentially u iion-productivo con
dition. No insane man has over made a
great discovery and originated great
thoughts, or, by his own laborious efforts,
changed the tide of human events. In
sanity is a condition in which the power
of adjusting one's golf and ono's conduct
to the environment is lost. Surely there
is no loss of this kind shown in tho work
or genius. Contemporaneous science
has dealt somowhat kindly with LOlll
- lor the valuable work ho lias done
and tho now fields of study ho has opened.
But tho Medical Kocord thinks that when
110 nuikosout Newton and Luther insane,
and Christ a paranoiac, ono must think
that tho professor himself has neither
sanity nor genius.
Traps forPtonkcy Talk*
It soorns odd to think of phonographs
nn<l electric battorios sot up in the midst
wild forests of Africa. Hut these will bo
among the uppurtonunces that Professor
Garner's expedition will carry with it.
Tho object of this expedition is to make
a study of tho grilla language.
The results of this unique tour of in
vestigation will bo uwuited with keou in
terest. Never before have so many of
the appliances of civilization been trans
ported to tho regions of barbarism. If
Professor Garner succeeds in obtaining a
record of gorilla talk on bis phonograph
cylindor, those who havo tho privilege of
hearing it ground out will suroly ox
perioneo strango sensations us they ro
flcct that thoy nctually listened to tho
roarings of a wild beast uttered in his
native lair, whilo they themselves aro
seated amid the comforts of their own
homes. —[Argosy.

One on the Noble Lord.
Lord Harrington, who succeeds to
the Dukedom of Devonshire, visited
this country the war and made
himself rather conspicuous here by
his strong Southern sympathies. He
even went so far as to appear at a
ball in New York wearing the colors
of the Confederacy in his buttonhole.
This fact did not prevent his receiv
ing a cordial reception at the White
House, however. He was presented
to President Lincoln with considera
ble ceremony, and the President
grasping his Lordship by the hand
said: "Glad to see you, Marquis of
Hartington. I shall never forget
your name because itrhynies withone
of our own distinguished characters,
Mis. Partington." The Marquis didn't
talk secesh any more.—Boston Her

All Tlmt la Needed.
In our physical needs wo want the best ot
anything required, and we want all that is
required to be done, to be done promptly and
surely, and those in pain, especially, will find
all that is needed in what is herein recora
monded. Mr. T. J. Murphy, 01 Debevoice pi.
Brooklyn, N. Y„ says: "Having beon afflict
ed with sciatic rheumatism for some time past
and finding no relief, 1 tried St. Jacobs Oil
which I found very efficacious."—Miss Clara
Alcott, Mahwab, N. J., writes: "I bruised my
limb, and it became greatly swollen and stiff.
I used two bottles of a patent liniment which
did not relieve me. A physician was called
who ordered the limb to he poulticed, and he
gave me medicine internally, without benefit.
I then got a boitle of St. Jacobs Oil, which
cured me. It acted like magic."—Mr. Lorenzo
Buck, Bancroft, Shiawassee Co., Mich., says:
"I hod chronic rheumatism for years, con
tracted during the war. After sitting or lying
down, at times, I could not get up, from stiff
ness and pains. At work my strength would
give out, then 1 would pass through a sickness
of several weeks. I had to walk with a cane
and was at one time so ill I could not lie
down without terrible pains in back and
limbs. 1 tried St. Jacobs Oil; next morning
got up out of bed without assistance. To-day
I'm a new man and watk without a cane."-
Mr. A. H. Cunningham. I'erryopolis. Faxette
County, Pa., writes: "My wife was sore:y
afflicted with lame back" for several years
She used innumerable liniments, but exper
ienced little relief until St. Jacob* Oil was
used, i can confidently say we owe her cure
to its wonderful effects and would not keep
house without it."

Catarrh Can't be Cured
With local applications, as they cannot, reach
the seat of the disease. Catarrh is a blood or con
stitutional disease, and in order to cure it you
have to take internal remedies. Hall's Catarrh
Cure is taken internally.and actsdirectly on the
blood and mucous surfaces. Hall's Catarrh
Cure is no quack medicine. It was prescribed
by one of the best physicians in this country
for years, and is a regular prescription. It is
composed of the best tonics known, combined
With the best blood purifiers, acting directly
on the mucous surfaces. The perfect combi
nation of the two ingredients is what produces
such wonderful results m curing catarrh. Send

FOR THE CHILDREN.
My little girl suffered for three years from a large Abscess on her hip, the result of a
fall and dislocation. The Abscess was large, with six openings, all of which discharged
puss. I was induced by friends to give her S. S. S., and by the time the fifth bottle was
finished the Abscess was entirely healed, and the child was well and happy.—Mrs. J.
WLEGNER, Stating ton, Pa.
I had three little girls who were attacked with obstinate or Blood
Trouble, which at first resembled heat, but soon grew to yellow blisters, some of them quite

to the other two, and they soon got well. S. S. S. forced out the poison promptly. The
cure was wonderful.— J. I). RAINS, Martliavillc, La.

The wrong way,
with Catarrh, is to stop it without
curing it. The poisonous, irrita
ting snuffs, strong caustic solutions,
"creams," balms and the like may,
perhaps, palliate for a time. But
they may drive the disease to the
lungs. The wrong way is full of
danger.
The right way is a proved one-
It's with Dr. Sage's Catarrh Rem
edy. It cures, perfectly and per
manently, by its mild, soothing,
cleansing and healing properties,
the worst cases of Chronic Catarrh.
It has proved itself right, thou
sands of times, when everything
else has failed.
And this makes its proprietors
willing to prove that it's the right
thing for you, no matter how bad
your case or of how long standing.
If they can't cure your Catarrh,
they'll pay you SSOO in cash.
They mean it.
They're certain of their medi
cine.
