At the suggestion of the Medical aatocia'ion
a bill has been introduced in
the South Carolina legislature which
seeks to prevent the sale of itateul
mediclues in country stores It is a
bad bill. Home proprietary medicine*
are an good as doctor'* prescriptions
and mnch cheaper. If the doctors ate
forced to seek "protection" from the

is getting in a bad way. This medical
society has already secured a statute
which allows them to ex|>erimeut ssl

The Ambition of the Kaufman j
Family. ?
'

"Speaking of police ntupidity and )
queer crimen," .said the captain, muK- i
iugJy, "reniimlM lue of uy flr?rt big t
ea*e, bow cut?ly I worked it and what \
a failure it led out to be from the c
public poin of view. I wait a green i
baud, but i fi:iu ri;- ?n io me degree 01 r
'plain cloth i*,' nr- i was beginning to f
Ket u reputation *'ith the department fc
and tbe newspapers wheu the Kauf- h
uian case came up and put me to the d
bad for kee|m, especially with the L
police reporter*.
"Old man K'.ufman was cashier of o
the Dexter Nat onai Bunk and lived u
in Cedar Grove, a Nubr.d chiefly noted e
for "exclusive aociei/." Half the pop- b
ulatlou kept poor trying to cut a wide o
*ocial swath, und the other half lived <t
in misery from envying their neigh- it
bors. Nobody was very rich, and no- j
body was very poor, aud it was one of f<
those places where the people are al- h
ways talking about 'our first families,' r<
[>uillng olF 'function**' and pitying the p
plain people.' Of course I didn't class w
jp very well, being a detective, out old n
inau Kaufman overlooked that, and b
-vaa the i-eet, perhaps the only friend I o
lad among the swells. a]
"Ht> hail aliiv family, about seven f<
:hildren?all grown young women of hi
he 'high-eociety* kind?and they
lidu't do a thing to the.old man's lin- gi
met*. What with summer tours and tl
vinter gayetles, pink teaa, soirees, it
heatre parties and all that sort of 8|
lolngs, they kept the old fellow's hi
lose to the griuu*t>>iie for true. He ic
lidu'l have a thiug n the world but tt
lis home and his salary, und 1 don't ol
hink that was over three or four p
housand. I used to sit with him in fa
he train very ofteu, and a* he was e<
tuck on talking and!I waen't, I came w
o know a good deal about his affairs, f
don't think he was very strong at pj
he society game himself, but he was 0i
il wrapped up iu bU family aud let si
hem work him to the limit. tt
-rue 'DiaeK sneep' 01 uetiar urove 01
wued the house next door to Kuuf- Ht
ami's, and the chief ambition of the gi
ashier was to buy out his objection- w
>ble ueigbbor. His name was Heck- n<
?urg; he was a professional gambler, kl
,nd hi* wife was what the suburban!ies
call "vulgar." Once about every tc
onth the Heckbur^s would have
vbat they called a 'house party,' but it
tobody ever came to it except a lot of w
lash-looking guys frum town. That
oade the Kaufman ladies wild, and, ec
s Heckburg's was a dingy wort ofa
ottage, built right up agninst Kuuf- tfc
dan's lot, the old fellow, his wife, and m
tis high-toned daughters had their
tearts set on guying it. nj
"'Itain't worth more than ?1000,' ^
"anfin?n witiliiiiiMl In iriM mm mi/lit. it
tud I could have bod it for $2500 lane a}
ummer when Hecuburg went broke bt
in the races. I'll get him in the name z\
Ix again, I ho|>e. He won't sell no*'. j,i
(ever will Bel' ho long asbe'afluHb, R
tut the first time lie goe* broke I'll tret <?1
be place. .a?t time I didn't have fa
he cash, aut, gamb'er-like, he wantd
it right oil?w.,uldu't wait a day. m
'm teady for mini now though.'
"And Kaufman tapped hiit brea-t tu
nd whlapertd : "I cot $3u00 in my inide
pocket. Carry it there all the r,,
line, ready for Heckburg to go broke"
told tne old man that he wan foolish m
0 carry bo much cash around with
dm, but he . ] i vkburg wa* one of
b&*3 men il a couli n't be induced to
et go for an. thing I ut ready money.
1 carry it i my !unide vent |>ocket. ?
,nd nobody km it but you and me,'
le said. 1 was a little surprised to ?
tnow that he had ho much ca?h of his
iwn, but J didn't think much ubout it
ill a few days later, wheu, aa I said I .
;ot my first big cam).
"Ofcourse I didn't live *u the ttwell *
mrl of Cedar Orove, but at that ray "
oom wasn't m?re lhau nix or seven IM
tlocks from Kaufmau's. It was aliout .
bree o'clock oue w;uter morning, just *
tefore Cbrlsttuw when 1 was routed
iut of bed by 1 aufmat.'s coachman. *
lit the gas and lut him iu, aud while m
: was dressing he tola me that the old
uan bad just been murdered. "Taint -%j'
uore'u three days ago he told me if ^
tuylhing ever happened to call you, f*
nut ho I came here first.' I thanked l(n
uy stars that I was to have the first
hance, and in live minutes we were
nidging through the snow to the Hl
Kaufman house. From the coach- ^
nan's talk I learned that the first in- cl
iication of trouble had coiue about a
ialf-hour before, when he aud the
ramily were awakened by the report of
i shotgun, followed almost lmmedi- ?
itely by a pistol shot.
"He slept in a room over the barn, 81
out had run over to the house and
reached the side porch before anyone al
iu the house had appeared. He found 4,1
jld Kaui'man lying facte down, dying, !"
on the |s>rch fioor. His shotgun lay ,
beside him, aud, further away, a pis- {*
tol, which he supped uiunt have j!
been dropped by the burglar. When
I got to the house it was all lighted up,
the women were upstairs screaming
mid goiug on, aud two or three neighbor*,
attracted by the shots, were just
arriving. The poor old hanker was el
yet where lie had fallen, and nobody d;
seemed to have the uerve to take even s<
a second look at him. I made everybody
stay in the house, got a .lantern, w
aud stationed the coachman at' the a<
front gate to keep newcomers from
tracking up the suow. si
"Oue of the first things I did after u
making sure that Kaufman was dead
was to exauiiue his (sx-kets IIin a
watch, a good gold one, w?m iu his vest h
which was unbuttoned, ss if he might
have hurriedly thrown it aud the coat b
on. He was fully dressed, even to the u
lacing of his shoes, 1 remembered h
about the &i,000 which he was in the f<
habit of carrying iu his inside vent s
pocket, aud !<>oked for it. It was gone, a
The pistol ball had entered his forehead,
was powder-burned. 1 looked
for tracks iu the snow and fouud only
the hinj{le truil or the coachman ?i? he ji
cuioe, from the ntahle and thofeeofu'u
I fox terrier,{Kaufman'*, which wan now v
following iue about ill the yard. An i
must of the tmowfall had come aitice
midnight, I be^au to be my*lit1ed
about the burglar?bow he hud come
and bow he had gone. Then I looked .
about for Hignti of the tdugle discharge
of theahotguti, and found the idiot had
imbedded ! ?e!f in the Hide of Heekburg's
houai ju-t u< ro?8 the lawn from *
; Kaufman's j?or<*h.
"Well, the tow n authorities*itoon ar- I
rived, and the or >uer and all of them j
made a thor n.gh examination of the i
whole premises. They decided that
Kaufman had frightened the burglar
iway before the latter had a chance to
oh him. The neighbors began to tell
>'ariiM about 'suspicious-looking tramps
laving l?t?en ween, and of course the
lext day's papers played it for a rayn- i
erous murder, which was 'baffling the
rbole police department.' I got i
diarge or the case and wax still workup
on it when the Kaufman family I
noved away to ;town. All I found i
rom them was (hat 'poor papa had i
lad been late that night searching the i
muxe for Home paper he had lost two <
lays before,' and that since his loss he i
tad been much worried.
The next day I weut to the President <
f the Dexter Natioual Bank, aud, af- 1
t?r swearing to keep the secret, leana- I
d that the semi-aunual count of the i
ank'tt money made by the directors j

low waa gone, and raked over every /

ie money. I found nearly a hatful /
! faded, tattered shred*. You can /
lem the rest. I took the old pistol A
iund beside poor Kaufman and showi
it to every pawnbroker in towu. I n
anted to tiud out who bought it, for e
knew that Kaufman never kept a y
latol in the house and never carried tj
le. At last I landed in an old junk- p
top on the West Side and showAl j
te pistol. The owner recognized it at 0

Important Facts and Figures.
The Hubjoined statement*, showing
in a variety of forms the rapid increase
arising from interest (rent or usury being
very nearly synonymous terms)
charged for the u?te of accumulated
wealth?which we take from a lecture
delivered in Association Hall, New
York, by Wallace P. Groom, on
the "Currency Needs of Commerce"?
i-ontaiu much "food for thought" for
til classes, old or young, man or wouan,
employer or employeb; for intersit
affects the price of every commodity
in the most vital mauner.
Many carlecsly Infer that the In:rease
of money at six percent, is just
:wiceas rapid as at three per cent.;
>ut in reality the increase is vastly
sore rapid than this. Iu one hundred
jrears, at six per cent., the increase on
my given sum is about eighteen (iiiiea
is much as at three per cent.
If one dollar be invested and the inerest
added to the principal annually,
it the rates named, we shall have the
ollowing result as the accumulation

There are probably few, however faliliar
with the subject or the rapid inreaMe
of capital put at interest, who
rould not be startled at the statement
bat tbe cost of the outfit of Cbrislo- 1
her Columbus iu his first voyage of
iaoovery, put at Interest at 8ix per
ant., would by this time amounted to
aore than the entire money value of
bis contineut, together with tbe accululations
from the industry of all
rlio have lived upon it. If any doubt
bis, let tbem reckou the amount, estijatinjr
the entire outfit to have cost
nly the small amount of five tbousnd
dollars, and remembering that ,
loney doubles at six per cent., lu a '
ittle less than twelve year* -or acculately,
in eleven years, ten months, <
ud twenty-one days. Allowing It to
ouble every twelve years, this five
housand dollars at interest at six per
ent. nince 1492, it will be found,
rould have amounted to $17,895.700, i
DO,000; which, estimating the |>opulaIon
of the entire continent of America 1
North and South) to be eighty-five
Billions, or seventeen million families i
averaging five members each), would
ive more than a million dollars as
lie possession of every one of these,
'be interest upon a million dollars at
ix per cent, is sixty thousand dollars, i
rhicb would be the priuoely annual |
3come of each of these seventeen <
lilllon families from the accumula- (
ons up to (his time upou so small a
iini us that uamed for the outfit of the
ifrcoverer. '
In Hildreth's "History of the j
Tatted States," it is dialed that Mauattan
Island?afterward called New 1
LinNtenlani, now the city of New
rork?wa* bought by tbe Dutch from
be ludiaoa for sixty guilder*, or tweo- '
y-four dollar* ($24), and thin only
bout two hundred ?nd fifty years ago.
llid yet, if the purchase!* could have
ecurelv placed that $24 where it
rouldnave added to the principal
nuuaily interna at the rate of 7 per
ent? the accumulation would exceed
be present market value of all tbe
pal eatate of the city and county of
few York.
Again, if a man at tbe age of tweny-flve
itbouid commence buHlnesM
ritb a capital of oue thousand dollars,
nd could by any possibility add thered
iutereHt at our legal rate of 7 per
cut. annually, the result would be
in rouud numbers) as follow*:

Sow, the grouth of national wealth
tily is about 3d percent, per annum,
lotwithstanding the assertion of those
k'lio have placed it much higher,
hrough comparing the old valuations
nth the new (which have been greaty
increased), instead of taking as the
?iinen of their calculation, at* they
hould have done, the actual number
if horse*, cat lie, hogs, sheep, etc.,
tc., at the different periods. It in
lain therefore, that the great mistake
uost men make to in attempting to
ise borrowed capital at an immensely
ligh rent, ordinarily termed interest.
Vhile the growth of the national
health remains at the present rate,
he average man who attempt* to jwy
per cent, for all the capital he can
;et, should not expect to avoid baukuptcy
as the result.

If you are the kind of a boy?we '
know tome who are?who foolishly alI
lows auother boy to use him an a tool j
for fathering schemes he is afraid to
lay his own hand upon, read the fol- c
lowing told by the Australian Record :
One day a well-fed aud sagacious rat
came acros* an object made of stout
wires, whose sole occupation xeemed to c
be to take care of a liberal piece of >
cheese. Having had several years' ex- r
perience with men and their machina- t
lions, the rat looked the ground overja
with great care, and he was still en- i
gaged in this occupation when a mouse a
appeared and wanted to know what t
was up. i
"Well, the fact is," replied the rat. t
"I have more cheese here than I can t
possibly cat at one meal, and. as cheese c
quickly spoils in this climate, I was t
waiting for someone to coma along and e
accept a portion."
"You are very, very generous," said J
the mouse. a
"Don't mention it. Just step inside c
and pass the cheese out, will you ?" e
The mouse no sooner nibbled at the u
bait than there was a crash, aud he p
found bimnelf trapped. p
"Ah, thai'* tb* way it works, is it? li
queried the rat *'I couldn't just make v
it out. Um ! I see. Spring there g
home where. Very good idea.'' p
"But I'm caught!" exclaimed the a
mouse, in great agitation. n
"80 I observe." ?
"And what's to be done?" s<
"Well, I leave that for youtode- n
cide. I let you in on the ground floor, ci
and my responsibilities cease there, w
Fine day. Hope we shall have a large 8
harvest." * cl
Then* ia a good moral in this ance- t<
dote. Think it out. al
