PROSPERITY CAME IN JUMPS
Good    Story    From    Which    Private
John Allen Drew a Rule to
Guide His Conduct.
Private John Allen, during his long
service as representative of Mississippi in congress, was importuned on
one occasion to make an after-dinner
speech at a banquet at which he was
to be a guest.
"No!" said the "private," "I will
make a before-dinner speech hut none
alter dinner."
When reminded that a before-dinner speech was quite out of the ordinary, and was aBked for his reason for desiring to make his speech
before dinner, he told the following
story:
"There was a ne'er-do-well that
lived near Tupelo, my home town,
some years ago named Bill Jones.
Bill had a hrother Bob, who had gone
to Texas quite a while before, and
reports said that he was enjoying a
fair share of worldly prosperity.
When a Texan, from the town in
which Bob had located, came to
Tupelo, he looked up Bob, who said
to him:
"Tell Bob that I have a large family, and things are against me somehow, and if he can give me a little
assistance it will he greatly appreciated."
He continued on this strain for
some time so that the Texan to relieve the situation proposed that they
have a drink. The drink was disposed of, and Bill was cheered up con-
'siderahly; hegan to tell what a good
crop he would have this year, etc.
Another drink was taken with a like
result, and after about the fourth had
been disposed of, he slapped the Texan on the back and said:
"When you see Boh, you tell him
if he or any of his friends need any
money, just draw on me for it, and
they will get it."
Precaution Led to Disaster.
A marine disaster of curious origin
is recorded hy a recent British Board
of Trade report. Some months ago
the steamship Hardy had in its cargo
a large quantity of metallic sodium
and chlorate of potash—the former, as
is "well known, taking fire and burning
in water, while the latter is so ener-
"getic an oxidizer that it is liable to
explode violently when heated in the
presence of combustible matter. As
an extra precaution against trouhle
these dangerous substances were carried on deck. This proved an unfortunate mistake, however, for a heavy
sea burst open the chests containing
two tons of sodium, which in a few
minutes set fire to the vessel in many
places. As the flames reached th6
chlorate of potash, a violent explosion
broke the ship in two, finishing the
destruction. The misdirected efforts
to ensure safety were blamed for the
loss, and it was concluded that the
cargo would have been quite safe if
the sodium had heen properly packed
and stowed below deck.

Indian Killed On Track.
Near Rochelle, 111., an Indian went
to sleep on a railroad track and was
killed by the fast express. He paid
for his carelessness with his life. Often its that way when people neglect
coughs and colds. Don't risk your
life when prompt use of Dr. King's
New Discovery will cure them and so
prevent a dangerous throat or lung
trouble. "It completely cured me, in
a short time, of a terrible cough that
followed a severe attack of Grip,"
writes J. R. Watts, Floydada, Tex.,
"and I regained 15 pounds in weight
that I had lost." Quick, safe, reliable and guaranteed. 50c and $1.00.

The Wild Man of the Woods and tho
Man Who Won't Give a Tip
Both Here.
Old friends are returning with summer. The wild man, *who now emerges
from a cave in Connecticut and now
prefers the Maine woods with a village near by where he can frighten
school children, is reported as caught
in Tarrytown, N. Y., hut he is probably an imposter,' for he gave his
name and admitted that he *was hungry. The real wild man is nameless,
and in trackless solitudes or visiting
a settlement is cheerfully omnivorous,
and skillful in obtaining food from nature and from man.
And again there is the formation
of a National Anti-Tipping association. We read a few days ago of a
Londoner who in one year traveled
considerably over 100 miles to find
barbers' shops where his "unbending
attitude on the tip question" was unknown and thus spent about ?30 on
bus and cah fares. Ha soon exhausted London and the suburbs, and now,
unable to shave himself, grows a
beard.
These anti-tipping associations labor in vain, for there are always foolish men and women, who, not sure oi!
themselves and wishing to impress
others, tip extravagantly.—Philip Hale
