the grand schemer A STROKE OF GENIUS THAT PUTS MILLIONS BEHIND HIM. Major Crofnof Striker » r> I a Grnnine Oood Thins and Divides, or Pro teal. Tha. He I. Willi., , o • With HU Chiropodist. (Copyright, 1900, by £. B . Lewis.] It was the chiropodist from the floor above the major’s office, and lie passed the door two or three times before knocking, as if to get up his courage ‘Come in!” called the major In a blond and cheery voice. “Come right ln. By George, but what a coincidence -what a coincidence: Not a minute ago I sat down to write you a note asking you to step down here. There is surely such a thing as mental telegraphy.” b “You have owed me $1 for the last | four months,” stiffly replied the chiropodist as lie lugged out a bill. “Just so—exactly—just so!” smiled the major as he rubbed his hands together. Yes, sir, about four mouths UlJWlk J r 0 “I WANT THAT DOLLAR!" ago you removed two coms from my right foot The circumstance is perfectly fresh in my memory.” "And you said you’d pay me next day.” “I presume I did. Yes, I know I did. and I humbly apologize that it slipped my mind. My dear man, permit me to pay you s2—s3, sl. $5. I have a check here for $250. You may band me $245 balance, and I shall be perfectly satisfied.” “1 haven’t got nc $245,” replied the man, "and 1 only want what is due me. I’ll go to the bank with you.” “Don’t! Don’t do it! I’d never forgive myself for putting you to that trouble. Yes; 1 was about to write you a note. It was surely a curious thing—your coming down as you did. Doctor, do you know where 1 stood financially four months ago?” "Mighty hard up, I guess," was the sullen reply. "You’ve hit IL Yes. sir. I was so hard up that I didn’t own the shoes to ■ my feet. It was the hardest kind of I work for me to raise a dollar. The cold, cruel world sneered at me and called me a deadbeat, but there were a few exceptions. You were one. In my darkest hour you bad confidence in me. When 1 wanted those corns removed, you didn’t demand payment in advance.” “I wish I had!” “No. sir. You trusted in my word, and you didn t seek to humiliate me, and you aroused my deepest gratitude. I have offered to pay you five for one. but I shall not stop there. It shall be 5.000 and more for one. Can you sell out your business or give it away today or tomorrow?” "Are you going to pay me the dollar?” sternly demanded the chiropodist ' If you can’t sell out, give it away, lock It up. throw it out of the window!” continued the major as he walked about the room. "My dear man. listen to me. Four months ago I was hard up for a quarter; today I have mil- | lions behind me—millions and millions. I may be said to swim in gold.” “I’ll be hanged if you look it!" “And how has the change been brought about? By my indefatigable genius, coupled witli ambition. I look■ed around for a ten strike. It was a ■ little slow in coming, but I hit it at last What do you think of the Veal I Cutlet Tablet company; capital, $5.000,000? There are the papers on my desk to perf<>ct the organization and apportion the stock —over $2,000,000 j of the stock subscribed for in advance at 70 cents ou the dollar, and capitalists tumbling over each other to take the remainder. Ductor, let me congratulate you. Shake hands!” "Over what? I’m after my dollar.” "Over your appointment as secretary I of the company, at a salary of SIO,OOO a year, and you can begin work tomor- ! row. As an official you also have first i choice of $20,000 worth of stock. You I trusted Major Crofoot, and this Is the I result; this is your reward. Shake I bands again!” "Not by a durn sight! You might ns well give up trying to work any cold deck in on me. I want that dollar. ’ "And It was my genius and my financiering which brought it about." said the major ns he rubbed his hands and patted the eblropodift on the shuulder. “The thought came to me while I was eating a veal cutlet at my boarding bouse. Our veal tablets are exact--Ily what the name Implies. We prepare a cutlet for the table and then compress It and divide it Into tablets. Every box contains 25, and the price la 15 cents. Two weeks hence they will be on sale nt every drug store in the United States, and all doctors will recommend 'em.’ Yuai don't have to wait for breakfast or dinner to get your cutlet Just drop a tablet Into your mouth and let it dissolve, and there you are. Can be taken with you to church, lecturps, balls, camp meetings or horse races; should be In the bands of a travelers, hunters, sailors nnd baseball mem In less than three months they will drive every other tablet out of

Mj dear - man”— "Look bore now!” exclaimed the chiropodist as he pounded «. the table. ! ‘1 ve come tor my dollar! Don’t try to stuff me, but com-: down with the ’ cash!" . ’ | “ A nd the company had only been j named when I thought of you for the position of secretary,” mused the mar 1 jor without seeming to have heard the 1 indignant protest. “You were n man } uho had trusted me. When others demanded cash down, you gave me a i show. My heart swelled as I thought t of this, and 1 set the salary at SIO,OOO i a year, payable quarterly in advance. - Shall I draw you a check for the first 3 quarter?” 3 The chiropodist looked at the major - as if wondering if he had met a crazy man. t "I said SIO,OOO a year, but if that is - not enough—ls you feel that you ought to have s2o.ooo—speak right up. I 1 want you to be perfectly satisfied, you - know. Will $20,000 a year be enough?” 3 “What about my dollar?” “The tablets will be a go. They can't help but be. Let us walk out in the hall while I tell you that the public can't get enough of veal cutlets in their present form. They are always eager for more. They want the taste of cutlets in their months as they go about their dally routine. Fifteen cents a I box in order to compete with potas'h I lozenges, but a profit of 10 cents on every box! Take the sales at 10.000,000 boxes- a year, and what do you get’’ You want stock. You want at least”— "Not a blamed cent's worth! I want my dollar!" —“at least $20,000 worth of stock’. You shall have it. You have paid mo $1 to secure it. and don't you worry. It will be made in your name, and later on— Excuse me.” The major stepped into his office and shut the door. r "Here, what’s this?” called the chi- - ropodist. The major locked the door. t "Look here, you old deadbeat! 1 want that dollar!” , The major sat down at his desk and 1 lighted the stub end of a cigar. > “You come out of that and pay this bill, or I'll bust the door down!” shoutj ed the creditor as he gave two or three . kicks. The major calmly puffed away and » gazed out of the window, and the look > on his face would have reminded a beholder of buckwheat cakes and molasses. : "Then I'll lay for you out here nnd i . punch your old head! Do you bear ■ me?” . j The major did not hear. He was per- • : fecting the organization of the Veal | Cutlet Tablet company and wondering . ' whether the Canadian general agency should be placed in Toronto or Quebec. ' M. Quad. i SUCCESS AND FAILURE. The llivlier the Pnrpone the Rarer the Achievement. If by success we mean the full accomplishment of an end. the actual reaping of a harvest of results, then it i is undoubtedly true that the higher j and nobler the purpose the rarer will ibe the success. If we aim to relieve a I man's hunger, we can quickly succeed I in the easy task, but if we aim to in- ! spire him with a desire to earn his own bread the work is more difficult and the success far more problematical. If we would restrain a thief from robbery. the prison bars and locks insure success, but if we would make an honest man of him our task is a complex one. and success may be afar off. We undertake to teach a child to read. If with requisite effort we follow up our task, we are successful, but if we aspire to raise the educational standard of our community how arduous the task, how uncertain the result, how : questionable the success! The low man sees a little thing to do, Sees it and does it; The high man, with a great thing to pursue. Dips ere he knows it. Is his life, then, a failure? No; let us never imagine that any high purpose. any noble thought, any generous emotion, any earnest effort, is ever lost. We may never witness its growth, we may not live to gather its fruit or even to see its blossoms, but we may safely trust that somewhere and at some time the harvest will be abundant, and success, long hidden, shall become apparent.—Philadelphia Ledger. The Wickedest Hit of Sea. Nine out of ten travelers would tell inquirers that the roughest piece of water is that cruel stretch In the English channel, and nine out of ten travelers would say what was not true. As a matter of fact, “the wickedest bit of sea” is not In the Dover strait, or In yachting, for example, from St. Jean de Luiz up to Paulllac, or across the Mediterranean “race” from Cadiz to Tangier, nor Is It In rounding Cape Horn, where there is what sailors call a “true” sea. The “wickedest sea” is encountered in rounding the Cape of Good Hope for the eastern ports of Cape Colony.—Shipping World. Fllarht of Time. Old Med—Well, old man, bow’d you sleep Inst night?

BLOOD POISON. In some cases the external signs of Contagious Blood Poison are so slight that the victim is firmly within the grasp of the monster before the true nature of the disease is known. In other cases the blood is quickly filled with this poisonous virus and the swollen glands, mucus patches in the mouth, sores on scalp, ulcers on tongue, sore

a v . / . throat, eruptions on skin, copper colored splotches, and falling hair and eyebrows leave no room for doubt, as these are all unmistakable signs of Contagious Blood Poison Doctors still prescribe mercury and potash as the only cure for Blood Poison.

A Swindling* Scheme. For some years past the treasury department has received from time to time letters from all parts of the country asking for information regarding eertain large sums of money which, it is alleged, are on deposit in the treasury department awaiting distribution to heirs or persons of great wealth In I Europe nnd America. Aiming these noted claims is one of : the heirs of a man of the name of De j Haven, who is alleged to have bellied i the government of the United States large sums of money during the Revolutionary war. Another well known case is that of the Robert Morris estate, tlie heirs of which, it is said, are entitled to receive from the government several millions of dollars. The Durkee claim also is well known in the department ami involves several millions of dollars. The latest one is that of the heirs of Anneke Jans, who are said to lie entitled to receive from the United States something like S'.hi.imhi.. jOO, which sum, it is said, has been received from Holland and now awaits proof of relationship. It is stated at the treasury depart ment that nil of these claims are spurious and that they are made the basis of confidence games by agents who | work upon the credulity of the uninformed. Agents, it is said, are selling bonds to raise money to prosecute these claims against the government, realizing something like $lO per JI.OOO promised in case of success. The treasi ury department is powerless to proceed i against these impostors.—Washington Post. A Joke on Offenbach. Offenbach, the famous opera bouffe composer, had an Insatiable thirst for success and fame combined with a vanity that occasionally played him a sorry trick. Once lie was going down the Rhine on a steamer, among whose passengers was the Duke of Nassau, a fact of w hich tlie composer was in blissful ignorance. As the steamer approached Its last stopping place tlie bank of tlie river was seen to be covered by a dense throng of people who were shouting and waving tbelr hats. A band on the pier was playing a march from one cf Offenbach's operas. As tlie boat touched the pier Offenbach stepped to the rail ami bowed and waved his hat to the people in acknowledgment of this flattering ovation. "It is glorious to be received in a foreign land like thte!” he remarked to his companions. But his self complacency received a rude shock the next instant when the duke’s adjutant appeared and said, in a rough and unfeeling manner: “Get out of the way, will you, and let his highness show bimself!” Beauty aiiel I*xlu<*«itl«»n. Why is it that woman has always been mow beautiful than man? In human beings tlie attractive qualities have always been on tlie side of the female. Why is ft? Without wishing to cast any aspersion on the members of the superior sex, we may fairly answer that It Is because they have hitherto been tlie less educated. But woman's Ideas are changing. She lias Ilstemsi to the voice of the tempter, whispering In her ear nil sorts of sweet fallacies about equality of the sexes. Intellectual development and Its necessity, and the like, and she lias yielded to tlie temptation. And tlie result of this will be that she will lose her beauty. She will suffer In appearance as man Inis done nnd Is doing, nnd In the course of time the extremely civilized races of mankind will tie ugly— Irretrievably and lamentably ugly.— Pearson's Magazine. A Fmnona Prnrl. The beautiful penrl known as the Great Southern Cross was found in Western Australia in tlie year 1884. It consists of nine pearls joined together In the form of a cross. In w hleh shape It was found by n man named Clarke. It Is said that the finder nnd the first purchaser of it burled It for some time, s igh rstltiously regarding it as a heavenly miracle. It was, howt-ver, ultimately taken up from its burial place and sold for SI4XIO, since which time it has fnipiently changed liands and Is now valued nt SBO,OOO. At tlie Colonial ami Indian exhibition in England it attracted a good deal of notice and is probably the only natural cross ever found.

| Weight of Women's Brnlnt. The woman’s brain Is always less than the man's. From Boyd's figures we can pick out 102 men and 113 women between 04 inches and 66 Inches high, averaging close on 65 inches, for each group. But the brains of the men average 46.9 ounces, while those of tlu; women are only 41.9 ounces, which gives the men an lulvantage of 12 per i cent.
