Shrewd Trick by Which a Got His $75,000 hrifty German Across One Hundred and Twenty Miles of Wild and Lonely Road In Nevada to a Railroad, “When I was attending to business in Pioche, Nev., a good many years ago,” said a veteran miner, “the town was 120 miles from a railroad and lacked a good many of the ornaments of a real high civilization. But the money part of it was well represented, and among the lucky chaps was Fred Schuster, a thrifty German from Frisco, who wandered out there and coppered the brewing busi- ness. He had a brewery which, however good it might have been as a producer of beer, showed promise enough for him to get $75,000 in cash out of it, not td meb- tion a note or two, and Fred concluded at once to get ovt with his money and go back to the luxury of San Francisco. “It was easy enough to talk about, but there was that 120 miles over a wild and jonely road, and Pioche just at that time held 25 road agents who needed about $75,000 in their business and were hang- ing around waiting for the Dutchman. to start for the railroad with his stuff. They didn't care for the notes especially, but they did want that cash, anc’ wanted it bad enough to have spilled blood for it. Schuster knew all this as well ad they did, and at the same time he did not let up on his proposition to get out of town. “The boss agaloon keeper and politician of the town was named.Ly -and he was a good friend of Schu .) So was the livery “stable keeper, Travers, and Travers had a pair of fine horses that could go the distance better than any- thing in that country. The three friends | rain coat as I ever saw, and his fashiona- talked the matter over, and ‘next day Schuster announced that he would cele- berate his departure, which was to oceur on Tuesday of the following week, by a wide open banquet the Friday night be- fore at the hall over Lynch's saloon. In the meantime Lynch came to me and told me to hold myself in readiness to go at a minute’s notice to a mine of his a dozen or so miles down the road to put up a pump. “The banquet came off according to announcement and was the biggest social function that Pioche had ever known. All the town was out, incinding every road agent in the place, and the cham- pagne flowed like water. Schuster was there in a dress suit—think of that, will you, in Pioche, over 25 years ago, and nobody offered to shoot holes in it! The host forced the festivities, so to speak, which began at 7 in the evening, and by 10 o'clock most everybody was drunk, including Schuster, who seemed to be drunker than anybody. About this time I was called out, being duly sober, as I don’t drink to excess, and, going down stairs, found Lynch at the side door with Travers’ team of bays hitehed to a bug- gy. There was nobody around the streets, and I wondered what Lynch was doing there instead of being at the ban- quet, where I had seen him not half an hour before. He wanted to know if I! was ready to start at once for the mine, and, although it was entirely unexpected, I promptly told him I was. I didn’t have on my working clothes, but that didn't count for much there. He got out, and I got in, and before I had got myself fixed Schuster, in his dress suit and as sober as I thought before he was drunk, joined us hurriedly and got into the bug- gy with me. He had a light overcoat around his shoulders that he put on be- fore he sat down. I didn’t quite under- stand what Schuster had to do with the pump, but before I could ask any ques- tions Lynch told me he would explain after we got started and said it was time for us to be off. “We drove away slowly and quietly, as Schuster said he didn’t want to wake up the police, and as soon as we got beyond the town he told me we were to drive to the railroad and that he had his traps and his $75,000 in gold in the buggy. This was more than my contract called for, but I wasn’t going to Lack out then, and hitting the horses a lick we flew along the road like a cyclone. I had always want- ed $75,000, it seemed such a nice poetical kind of a sum of money to have, but now that I did have it I never was more uncomfortable. I knew that if those road agents discovered Schuster’s absence or guessed that he had skipped they would. be after us on horses, and I did not like the idea of being chased for a few dozen miles and being shot out of a buggy. I would have much preferred not to have the $75,000. It was a fine night for driving, just warm enough, and as we kept the horses up to the best the road if have Backache yon have Kidney Disease.

We gave our team a good rest, with an eye on our buggy all the time, and at nvon we started again, making 40 miles by dark, and the next day we reached the railroad in time to catch the train for Salt Lake City. I went there with Schuster, and as we pulled out of the station and knew we avd the $75,000 were safe, Schuster 1% %-d himself om the head with a peculiar German smile and said: ‘Meppe I vas a Dutchmen vat don’d know somedings; aber nicht.’ Then he waved his hand toward Pioche in farewell. He waated me to go to Frisco and stay a year with him, but I had oth- er business to attend to. When I got back to my team four days later, they were as good as ever, and I went into Pioche as though I had not driven more than a dozen miles, but everybody knew where I had been. The road agents had very little to say, but one of them told me, in speaking incidentally of Schuster, that he hated a liar.”” EXPOSING A HOTEL BEAT. The Elevator, or, Rather, His Red Un@erwear, Did It. “T’ve had a variegated experience with hotel beats in my time,” said a veteran Ddoniface who was in town on a visit the ether day, “but I believe the funniest in- cident in that line that ever came under my observation occurred some years ago when I had charge of a house at a sister city not a thousand miles from New Or leans “One rainy evening shortly after the arrival of the eastern trains a tall, good looking chap walked into the office Swathed from neck to heels in a long cape mackintosh. It was as handsome a ble hat and the expensive alligator skin valise he carried in his hand completed the outward picture of a man of means. He wrote hig name on the register and, remarking that he was thoroughly fa- tigued and not feeling very well, asked to be shown at once to his room. The clerk assignéd him to quarters on the third floor, and one of the bellboys pick- ed up his valise and led the way to the elevator. “When they got out, the elevator man slammed the door rather suddenly and kept on going up to answer a call in the next story. It so happened that the long skirt of the stranger’s mackintosh caught on a slight projection on the ironwork of the door, and as the car shot upward it stripped the garment off his back, very much after the fashion of skinning an eel, leaving him, to the blank amazement of the bellboy, clad in nothing but a suit of red flannel underwear. “I was coming down the hall just as the accident happened, and I took ia the situation at a glance. The fellow had expected to gain his room without detec- tion and in the morning would have claimed that somebody had stolen his clothes with heaven only knows how much money in the trousers pockets and probably a gold watch in the vest. “Anyhow, he was caught ‘dead to rights,’ as the saying goes, and he was taken so completely by surprise that he couldn’t invent any story to account for his condition. He begged piteously not to be arrested, and I finally told him to get out, but before he could leave the house he had to have some clothes, and he swapped his elegant valise for a pair of greasy overalls and a blue cotton jumper belonging to the engineer. I heard afterward that he had caught sev- eral big houses on the same game.”— New Orleans Times-Democrat. Sympathetie, Miss Readem—There is a world of sen- timent in Tennyson’s line—‘And may there be no moaning at the bar when I put out to sea.” Mr. Wuddenhead—Yes, I see; didn’t want the lawyer to feel bad.—Baltimore American. Insult Added to Injury, “That woman editor hurt my feelings terribly.” “Did she say she had thrown your poetry in her wastebasket?” “No; she said she had thrown i¢ in her’ trash basket.” WIND AND SEA. The sea is a jovial comrade; He laughs wherever he goes; His merriment shines in the dimpling lines That wrinkle his hale repose; fle lays himself down at the feet of the sun And shakes all over with glee, And the broad backed billows fall faint om the shore In the mirth of the mighty sea! But the wind is sad and restless And cursed with an inward pain; You may hark at will, by valley or hill, But you hear him still complain. He wails on the barren mountains And shrieks on the wintry sea; He soba in the cedar and moans in the pine Aad shudders all over the aspen tree. Welcome are both their voices, And I know not which is best— The laughter that slips from the ocean’s Hips Or the comfortless wind’s unrest. There’s a pang in all rejoicing, A joy in the heart of pain, And the wind that saddens, the sea that gladdena, Are singing the selfsame strain. —Bayard Tayler. HER STORY.

False modesty and fear of the sur- gcon’s knife prevent most people from anpealing to their physicians for a cure for pitts. Many people suffer on year after year, robbed of their rest and sleep by the terrible itching, when they could be entirely cured by a single box of Dr. Chase's Ointment. Mr. O. P. St. John, Dominion inspece- tor of steamboats, living at 246 Shaw street, ‘Toronto, sitates:—‘‘I suffered for nine years from itching piles, at times being unable to rest on account of the annoyance caused by thera, After trying almost all remedies in vain I pegan the use of Dr. Chases Ointment, which entirely cured ine. I cannot speak too highly of it. I have recommended it to several friends, all of whom have been cured by its use.” Dr. Chase's Ointment: is recognized by physicians, druggists, and the pub- lic in general as the only absolute cure for piles; 60 cents a box, at all dealera, er Edmanson, Bates and Co., Toronta knows there is one sure way to reach a man’s heart, and that is by always having a nicely spread table. To do this you must have choice groceries, canned goods and provisions. We Can Help You.
