m |W It Was His First. There lives in one of the finest counties of Kentucky an aristocratic old gentleman, who, though brave at a W time of physical trouble, has never succeeded in summoning sufficient W courage to shove himself into the recklessness of paying a debt. Like fj most men who are loose in money M matters, he is of exceedingly cheerful disposition, and has been known to invite a bill collector into the room which he termed the "holy of holies" (derived from the fact that the colo? nel kept his liquors there), and regale him with bourbon that had attained a great age. But he would not pay the bllL Once the colonel was In debt to a grocer that lived in a neighboring village. He must have been a newcomer, for none of the "old-timers" would trust the old gentleman. One morning, just after the colonel had taken his third Julep and sat down on the gallery to smoke, the giocer came to the gate and shouted "halloa!" -1-V.i l? .|,K " J"uei aown ana come ngm n?, the colonel called, getting up and cordially advancing to meet the visitor. "I am delighted to see you this bright morning." said the host, when he had shown the grocer Into the house. "You don't know me, I reckon." the grocer responded, giving the old man a peculiar look out of his keen eyes of trade. "Oh, most assuredly. You are the grocer." "You bet. Did you get that bill?or. rather them twenty bills?I sent you?" "I presume so. but I cannot say positively who sent them. I get so many favors of the kind that I hardly know whence they come. Let us go Into the holy of holies." "No, I reckon not. I have heard of ' that llcker room an' about you gittln' folks drunk that go in thar, but I've never hearn that a man what did go In thar ever got the money comln' to him. I'm a man of business and I want my money without any palaver'in\ Do you understandV "Perfectly, suh, and I cannot blame you. Business cannot be operated without money." "But are you goln' to pay?" "I can't pay you now?" "When can you?" "Let's see; this is the tenth of the month, ain't It?" "That's what it Is." "Ah, ha, and tomorrow will be the eleventh." "That's the size of It." "Well, you come round between the eleventh *nd first of next month." "Will you pay me then?" "No. I don't think I shall." "Then what's the use of my comlnf?" "None that I can see. Didn't know but you might be more willing to go Into the holy of holies by that time." "Vnt mnoh what I want is my money and I'm going to have It or know the reason why." "I don't mind giving you the reason. The reason appears to be that you'll not get the moneF. Now, look here: I have always made it a point to look with favor on the methods of life established by other men. You have your rules and I have nine, but because our rules dlger It Is no reason for us to fall out. One of your rules is to collect every cent that Is due you. All right. One of my rules is not to pay a cent. All right." "No, It's not all right?you bet your life It ain't. You've simply got to pony up." "No, I thank you. By the way, how much do I owe you?" ( "Ten dollars." ( "A beggarly sum." "Why don't you pay It, then?" ( "Because I don't pay beggarly sums." "You'll pay this one." "Possibly. By the way again, let me give you a piece of advice with regard to that bill. Shall I?" "Yes." "Well, then, sue me." "I'll do It; you bet your life on that." ( The grocer brought suit. The colonel promptly appeared. The case went to trial and the grocer got Judgment for seven dollars. "I want my money now," said the grocer." "And I want mine," the colonel replied. "Yours? I don't owe you anything." "Oh, yes. You see," the old man added, "the courts many years ago granted me a license as a lawyer, and I'll be hanged if you navent given me my first case. Here is the license." "Why, I haven't given you a case." "Oh! yes; I advised you to sue me and you did so. My fee is ten dollars." "Mr. Billings," said the judge (who also owed the grocer), "you will have to pay the amount." He did so, closed his store, shot the Judge's cow and ran away. The Ceremony Interrupted. Bishop Candler of Georgia recently told one of the national lawmakers from that state an experience he had when he first began to preach the gospel and tie nuptial knots, says the Washington Times. "One day I was callsd on and engaged to marry a couple in one of the out-of-the-way districts. I found the house a rudely constructed log affair, with but one room and a loft above, which was entered by a ladder and a trap door. A big table was in the center of the room, and It was loaded with good things to eat, everything having bggr cooked on an open fire-place which took up nearly all of one side of the room. The bride and groom lined up and I was proceeding with the ceremony, and while in the most impressive part of it. the old lady poxec ner nead oui of the trap door In the loft and called: " 'Sally, turn them chickens and jag 'em with a fork.' ? "The command was obeyed by the daughter, she leaving the trembling bridegroom while she Jagged 'em with a fork. I could not help laughing at the ludicrousness of the whole affair, and I have never witnessed a marriage ceremony since without remembering this experience." Keep to the Right a_vd Go Ahead. ?The story is told that on a certain occasion when a company of persons were discussing in a crowded room sacred subjects and certain prominent men one suddenly exclaimed: "I should like to meet that bishop of Litchfield. I'd put a question to him that would puxzle . "Very well." ??ld a Toice out of another fcorner, "riow is your time, fori ? am the bishop." The man was somewhat startled and taken aback, but presently recovered himself and said, "Well, my lord, can you tell me the way to heaven?" "Nothing easier," answered the bishop; "you have only to turn to the right and go straight ahead." I iHiscfllaurous fading. IN COUNTIES ADJOINING. New* and Comment Clipped From Neighboring Exchange*.

Now and then science confirms some of the old-wife medical superstitions of the backwoods. For instance, the "yarb" doctor and old women of rattlesnake regions say that when a man gets over a rattlesnake bite he has trouble in the wound every year afterward. Pathologists and toxicologists who have studied snake poisons agree that this is true, only the trouble doesn't occur every year. It happens whenever the system gets out of order. The explanation is simple. Snake poison has the effect of destroying tissue. Of course it has the strongest effect in and about the wound where the poison, in its course through the veins, has not yet beeh diluted by the blood. ? J *1?? ?_ ? ,0lr nnint Eiver aiierwuiu men u a in the system. Any little disturbance In the blood tends to break out at that point of the wound. When this happens the old wives say that it is the poison working1. It is not, of course. It is only the excess poison of t}ie body working in the weak spot. There was a case of this kind with a rather unusual history in the Colorado hospital a few years ago. The patient was a scout who had helped the army make way for civilization in the Rockies. The Utes, Arapahoes and other Indians of that region were mostly u?supplied with guns in those days, but they had a most effective kind of poisoned arrow. They would catch a bunch of rattlesnakes and taking a fresh buffalo liver would make the serpents strike in it until the poison glands were exhausted and the meat reked with venom. After that they would leave" the liver in the sun until it became putrid. Into this mess they would dip their war arrows. It made a nasty poison. ' With such an arrow the scout was struck in the leg. It carried, of course, not only snake venom, but all kinds of possibilities of blood poisoning. By good luck a first rate army surgeon was at hand. He saved the scout's life. This happened in the spring. Every spring after that the man's leg would break out with sores and bolls and sundry other afflictions. It looked as though the case were proved for the witch doctors. The physicians went Into the life history of the patient and fornd that long before he stopped the poisoned arrow he had been afflicted with a breaking out every spring. He was one of those people who load up on the animal diet all winter and need a cleaning out when the season breaks. It had merely settled in the weak spot. Next year he attended to his liver earlier and had no further trouble. In the treatment of rattlesnake bites the rough and ready physicians of the backwoods scored again on the modern scientist. In spite of analysis and" laborious experiments and government prizes, the treatment discovered by ths pioneers when New York was a wilderness Is still standard. Cut the wound, suck It out, burn or cauterize the spot and keep the patient drunk on whisky until the danger Is past. Medical men have tried all manner of substitutes, but come back to the original method. The sucking, of course, Is to get out as much poison as possible; the cauterization prevents local infection, and the whisky keeps the heart going in its task of clearing up the blood. Strychnine, which is a powerful heart stimulant, has been tried as a substitute, but with rather unsatisfactory results. There Is the danger of overdoing it and adding strychnine poison to the patient's troubles. Then, again, whisky, while It stimulates the heart, also deadens the brain. That helps the patient to bear the terrible pain of snake bite at a time when ordinary anaesthetics would be dangerous. So the old, untutored doctor of the backwoods has beaten modern science In two counts.?New York Sun. A Squash That Weighs 403 Pounds. ?What is said to be the greatest squash ever grown is on exhibition in Canada's section of the Palace of Agriculture. It weighs 403 pounds, measures three feet in height, five and one-half in length and four feet In width. The squash was grown by William Warnock, of Godrlch, Ontario. Mr. Warnock Is a market gardener and fruit grower. He makes a specialty of growing fancy squashes, and In former years has raised some that weighed more than 300 pounds. He declares that this is the largest that was ever produced in any country. It Is of the variety known as the "Mammoth." The squash was shipped to M. F. Goddard, superintendent of the Canadian agricultural exhibit, and It has been on view for several days. It has attracted much attention, especially among farmers who have visited the Palace of Agriculture. No one has been found who claims to have seen a larger product of the vine. After the world's fair a guessing contest as to the number of seeds the squash contains may be started. ?St. Louis Republic. GREATEST CATARACT. In the World Is Concsalsd In South American Jungle. The greatest natural phenomenon, the subllmest cataract in the world, has been discovered In South America. It Is the Falls of Iguazu, Infinitely greater than Niagara Falls or Victoria Falls on the Zambesi river. The existence of the stupendous Falls of Iguazu was intimated at the recent congress of Geographers, held at the World's Fair. The finding of the falls will mark forever the early years of the twentieth century. Nor Is It remarkable that geographers have not known before of the splendid cataract For it is concealed In a forest, almost impenetrable, 1,000 miles by boat from the nearest town of size. Horacio Anasagastl, commissioner of Mines and Liberal Arts?from the Republic of Argentine?to the World's Fair, enthusiastically and fully confirms the statement that the Iguazu Is the greatest waterfall In the world. He says: "I have recently Deen in a position to corroborate with my own eyes the marvelous character of the Falls of Iguazu. I have seen them. I have measured them. I have seen and studied the Niagara and the Zambesi Falls, and of my own knowledge I assert. without fear of contradiction, that It Is the greatest cataract In the world. It throws Niagara and Zambesi Into the shade. "I expect that many people will refuse to believe these assertions, which seem so Incredible, but nevertheless, I confidently predict that within a year the Falls of Iguazu will well have taken their place before the world as the greatest natural wonder yet discovered." In the last 70 miles of Its course the Iguazu river Is the boundary between Brazil and Argentine, Just as Is the Niagara between the United States and Canada The Iguazu's channel twists and winds through a lofty, hilly and broken country. Twelve miles above Its Junction with the Parana river the Iguazu, flowing with Incredible swiftness, abruptly turns at right angles, and at this bend are the falls. The precipice over which the cataract plunges is 210 feet high; that of Niagara 167 feet. The falls of Iguazu are 13,123 feet wide, about two and a half times as wide as Niagara. It Is estimated that 100,000,000 tons of water per hour roars and foams over Niagara; a like estimate gives the Falls of Iguazu 140,000,000 tons. At any time of the year the Iguazu Is the greatest cataract In the world, but the sight of It In the rainy season is said to far surpass in sublimity and grandeur its appearance during the rest of the year. During1 the rains I the river above the falls rises from j six to ten feet over a width of 30,000 feet, when the islands in the river disappear and the falls assume an inde- j scribable magnitude.?St. Louis Cor.

An old doctor from one of the southern states, a gentleman now well advanced in the scale of years, during a visit to friends in Washington, a week or so ago, entertaining a small party of friends with various reminiscences In his career as a medical man and otherwise, spoke of the days when the code duello had wide championship in parts of the country where he lived, and practiced his profession. "Doctor," said one of the party, "we all know that in your earlier days when you were young and handsome, so to speak, you were recognized as a strong advocate of duelling. Did you ever engage as a principal in one yourself?" "No," said the old gentleman, somewhat mournfully. "I did on one or two occasions invite persons to the held but the requests were not compile.with, and, though I have been present at a few hostile meetings, I was there In my humble capacity as a surgeon, and, of course, to heal rather than to hurt any one." Another member of the small company inquired of the doctor concerning his Dresence at any fatal encounter. "Did you ever see a man killed In a regular old-fashioned duel?' was the question. "I am very happy to answer that In the negative," was the reply. "I'll tell you of one Incident that I am personally cognizant of," said the doctor, "and that Is seasoned both with pathos and some little amusement. This was before the war, when two young men, both lawyers, became Involved In a dispute In court and one of them accused the other of prevarication. He had no stronger language, but that was enough. The dispute occurred in the forenoon and before the afternoon was on the decline a challenge had been sent and accepted. The men were to fight at twenty paces with muskets loaded with buckshot at daylight on the next morning. I was surgeon for the challenger and I everything was arranged all right. The I offended man had a friend who was to remain with him all night, and his leading second, with myself, were to call for him at 3 o'clock on the morning of the meeting and go with him and others to the ground. "Well, we did call, but couldn't get ? TOW a A# o Hnol cnt our IIIUJl. XI1C i cjA/ik Wi U. v.-,.. O - out and the young: fellow's wife heard of It and captured him. She cried and threatened and fainted, and went Into hysterics about a dozen times. The result of it was that so far as he was concerned the affair was off. He couldn't get away. The second, however, went to the field to take his place and I went along, of course. "We got there in full time, but to our amazement there was no enemy. The other man's wife had also been apprised of the intended meeting and began screaming and kicking and fainting, and he, like the other, could not get away. His second came in the course of a few minutes, but, after conferring with my man's second (they were good friends, too), the two agreed that it was not their funeral and there was no duel. "Later on an arbitration committee decided that there was no call for extreme measures anyhow and, with honors easy, the quarrel was settled. These two fellows became good friends afterward, as they were before the dispute in court. Both of them were killed in Hie southwest during the civil war." tv The number of cigarettes manufactured and sold in Canada increased from 34.000,000 in 1890 to 83,000,000 in 1895.

J?.K^ j Babcock Buggy Worth $85 i Club and a Yorkville fi Maker of the Second L EVERY CLUBMAKER TO I IN pursuance of the liberal policy It has always pursued along this line, THE ENQUIRER begs leave to make announcement of its annual premium proposition to clubmakers, beginning OCTOBER 15, 1904, and coming to a close on MARCH 15. 1905, at 6 o'clock p. m. WHAT A CLUB IS. The price of THE ENQUIRER to a single subscriber is $2.00 per annum. That Is the charge except where the name comes in through a clubmaker. From clubmakers, acting as agents of the subscribers, names are received at $1.75 PER ANNUM. Two or more names sent in by the same individual will be regarded as a club and the subscription price will be accepted at the reduced rate. TO CLUBMAKERS. Our proposition Involves a competitive contest, in which the makers of the two largest clubs receive rewards far out of proportion to the work they are likely to do, and the rewards to all other clubmakers will be as heretofore, extremely liberal. It is our desire to see to it that all who are kind enough to help extend the subscription list of THE ENQUIRER receive substantial tokens of appreciation and consequently there are no blanks. NEW SUBSCRIBERS. In order to afford the clubmakers greater facility in introducing the paper to new subscribers, we agree to send such subscribers the paper from the date of such entry of their names until January 1, 1906, at the price of one year's subscription, namely, $1.75. Under this offer the new subscriber gets so much of his subscription as may be due before January 1, 1906, without cost. In all such cases however, the price of the subscription is due and payable at the date of the entry of the name on our books. Where such subscriptions are not paid at the date of entry, they are subject to the same conditions that apply to other subscriptions. No %name Ohqlt was on our Hat on July 1, i?u?, la 10 i be considered NEW. THE FIRST PREMIUM.
