TRYING A NEW PLAN. A Canvasser Whose Originality Met an Unexpected Reception. Buffalo Express. A man wearing a short-cropped beard and a striped cutaway coal strolled into an office in the Erie I county Savings Bank ' building in 1 Buffalo, and looked around carelessly. “Howdy?” he inquired of the office boy. “Fair,” replied the boy. “Whadju want?” “Where’s the boss?” “That’s him,” said the boy, pointing to an inner room where a man was at work at a desk. The bewhiskered man walked in. He pulled a chair up beside the desk and sat down. The man at the desk looked up in surprise. “What do you want?” he asked coldly. “Oh,” said the bewhiskered man, “I just dropped in to talk to you a few minutes. Quite an office you’ve got here.” “Yes,” replied the man at the desk, “but —” “Kinder sloppy-lookin’ furniture, ■ though.” “I’m sorry you don’t like it.” “Oh, it don’t bother me none. That’s as bum a desk as I’ve seen for some time.” “Now, see here—” “Pretty rocky suit of clothes you’re wearin’.” The man at the desk got red in the face and jumped from his chair. “Dod blast you!” he shouted. “What do you mean by coming in here and talking like that?” “Don’t get excited,” replied the man with the short-cropped beard, calmly. “Sit down.” The man at the desk sat down. “Wearin’ a dirty eollai’, ain’t ye?” asked the visitor. The man at the desk got rod in the face again. Before he had time to say anything the bewhiskered man continued: “I should think you’d black your shoes. It don’t cost much, and them you’re wearin’ is disreputable.” The man at the desk pranced around the room. “Get out of here!” he shouted. “Get out or I’ll call a policeman.” “Don’t get excited,” urged the m in with the beard. “It’s bad for the nerves. That’s the worst fittin’ coat I ever see. ” The man at the desk was du infounded. He was so mad that he could not talk. “An’,” continued his visitor deliberately, “I notice that hat of yourn is last sea- \ son’s style, and that you hain’t had 1 a shave to-day, an’ that your hair needs cuttin’ an’ that it wouldn’t hurt anythin’ if you had this floor swop’ onest or twicst a month. The air is durn bad here, too.” By this time the man at the desk had gathered his dazed faculties. He picked up a heavy ruler and walked j over to the man with the shortcropped whiskers “Now,” he said, as calmly as possible, “what in Heaven’s name do voumean by coming and talking like that? Tell me before I batter the life out of you.” “Well,” said the man with the whisl ers deliberately, “I called in to see if 1 could insure you in the Early Bird Mutual Endowment Society, which offers the best insurance on the globe at the lowest rates.” The other fell back in his chair in blank amazement. “You—want—to insure me?’ he gasped. “And talk like that?” “Cert,” said the man with the whiskers. “I’m dead tired jollying people, and I thought I’d try another lay. What do you think of it? Little idea of my own.” The man at the desk arose from his chair. He reached over and grasped his visitor by the collar and pulled him to his feet. Then he hit him over the head with the ruler and knocked him down. He then proceeded to wipe the floor with him. After he had jumped all over his visitor he dragged him to the door and threw him out into the hall. . Ten minutes later the man with the short beard stuck his head in. The man at the desk jumped up and grabbed his ruler, “Hold on, boss,” said Jhe insurance man. “I want to ask you a question.” “What is it?” “Hain’t to be no more sluggin’, is there?” “No; I’ll let up on you.” “Well, on the dead, an’ lay in’ all business aside, that coat of your’n is a bum fittin’ thing, ain’t it?” The man who occupied the office forgot his pi-omise and fired a law book at the insurance man. The latter immediately picked it up and bolted down stairs. A Way They Have. Texas Siftings. Mrs. Peterby—I read the .other day that the scientists have discovered that the moon is one solid lump of ice. Mr. Peterby—I’ll bet that if there are any ice companies there they declare the ice crop is short, just the same. ” The wages of sin is death, but the wages of Ah Sin is 10 cents a shirt.

A New Food Product. A new vegetable is about to be introduced to the people of the United States, through the Department of Agriculture. It is the root of the calla lily, which resembles somewhat in appearance the ordinary Irish tuber, with the addition of a few fibrous roots, that have nothing to do with the qualities of the article as an esculent. It is more elongated, and when cut the interior is a trifle more viscid. But a section of it is so po-tato-like one would not be likely to distinguish any difference. In cooking, it has first to be boiled in order to destroy certain acrid properties, after which it may be fried, roasted, baked or ■ what not, according to taste. Farmers in Florida have begun to raise these calla roots for market. The plants grow readily in swamps, and so thickly that the yield of a single flooded acre is enormous. They reproduce themselves by the multiplication of their bulbs under ground, so that the grower has simply to dig up the offshoots and leave the parents to propagate anew. For centuries the Egyptians have cultivated a similar crop during the seasons of the Nile overflow, and at the present time calla lily bulbs are a common vegetable in Japanese m-'rkets. So prolific and palatable are they that their propagation in many parts of the United States, where conditions are favorable, may reasonably be looked forward to as an agricultural industry of the future. ODD FELLOWS GOING TO THE FAIR. Indiana Members of the Order Will Go Into Camp Near the Gates in September. Arrangements have been completed for the Odd Fellows of Indiana, Lodges, Encampments, Patri-. archs Militant, for a ten days camp at Chicago, from Sept. 20 to 30. A lovely grove, three blocks fi’om the south entrance of the World’s Pair, situated on the Lake Shore, has been granted them by the Hotel Fraternity, a hotel owned and run by the Masonic and I. O. O. F. orders. Odd Fellow trains will be run upon all the leading railroads, and it is expected that, with this arrangement for the members and their friends, a large number that would not otherwise be able to go, or at least take their families, will now make an outing of it, and include wife and children. Those not caring to go inta** tents can secure rooms at the hotel, Rates will be very reasonable. J. E. Bodine, of Indianapolis, will give personal attention to passengers upon I. O. O.

Progressive Pork Packing. St. Louis Globe-Democrat. The modern pork house is an entirely differently constructed building from the one of half a score of years or so ago. The appliances for the handling of the hog and the meat are now almost perfect for the work intended. That is what wrought the change in the structure itself. A deep and well-ventilated basdment and two stories thereon is all that is necessary. The towering six story affair is a thing of the past. Mechanical refrigeration also cuts an important figure in pork packing, so that this industry is not now confined to the winter season as formerly, but continued from one .end of the year to the other. Sanitary Item, Texas Siftings. “How about the drinking water at Chicago?” asked Mr. McAmsterdam of a friend who had just returned from Chicago. “It is so dirty that it can be used instead of ink.” “Great Heavens! Some of the English aristocracy visiting the World’s Fair must have been bathing in it.” Many a bankrupt business man can testify to the impossibility of keeping one’s head above water and above whisky at the same time. HOT SPRINGS, SOUTH DAKOTA. What Hon. Samuel W, Allerton Thinks of Thera. Hot Springs, S D,, Star. The Hon. Samuel VV. Allerton, the noted capitalist, of Chicago, arrived over the Burlington Route a few days since, and during an interview with a Star reporter, said: “You people do not begin to realize what you have here in these waters. I have had the opportunity of traveling some over the United States, and have visited a great number of health resorts with springs which are claimed to have medicinal properties, but in my opinion you have water here that is superior to anything in the whole country, if not in the world, for the cure of rheumatic afflictions and diseases of .he skin. My attention was first called to these springs by an intimate friend, Mr. Spencer, who owns a large cattle ranch west of here. He had a man on his ranch that was so badly afflicted with rheumatism that he was hauled here in a helpless condition. He was bathed in the old Indian bath for several weeks, and he went homo entirely cured up, and I resolved that If ever I Had rheumatism in my family I would try Hot Springs, S. D. We brought Mrs. Allerton here as soon as she was able to come at all, and I have found that all Mr. Spencer said in reference to the curative, properties of the waters has been realized in my wife’s case. She. said she feels as though she had just been turned loose from a prison where she had been called upon to endure excruciating torture—every joint and muscle racked with pain so that life was a burden, No, I think Hot Springs’ future is a grand one. It’s air is pure and wholesome, its scenery lively and inspiring; sleep comes without any effort and it is just the place for rest and building up a shattered constitution. You do not talk enough about the value of your waters for skin troubles. I. myself, received great benefit from them last year in a short visit there. Your climate makes vou infinitely superior to the Arkansas' Hot Springs, and in a country where so many thousands are afflicted with rheumatism and other kindred ailments, if your advantages are made known, there is no quesiton but that you will become the foremost health resort in the United States. Wo. are delighted with our trip here and what your waters have done for us and will make frequent visits to your pleasant little city.” Tourist Tickets to Cool Retreats in the Lake Regions via the Pennsylvania Lines.

The Approaching Dinner Hour Is fraught with no pleasant anticipations for the unhappy mortal plagued with dyspepsia. Appetite seldom, discomfort after and between meals, always is his portion Heartburn and flatulence subsequent to eat’ng, a gnawing at the pit of the stomach before it, are only a few among the woes arising from this truly impish complaint. Sick headache, nervousness, constipation and biliousness arc its diabolical offspring. Each and all of them are annihilated by Hostetter’s Stomach Hitters, which tones the gastric organs and regulates the liver and the. bowels with certainty and promptitude. Chills and fever, kidney trouble, rheumatism and neuralgia arc also remedied by this medicine of rare purity and comprehensive uses Invalids of all kinds are greatly and swiftly benefited by it, “Pay as you go” and save enough to come back on.
