‘'Bought a n«w*p4per for $20?”
“That's wbdt I said,” replied a tall,
lame man with a G. A. U. buttou.
“Young Smidgelj went out to NebraHka
in 1677, about the time BUI Nye started
hit Boomerang in Laramie, Wy., and
bought out the Lone Tree Courier, good
will, office fixtures, plant and everything,
for |S0. He fold the same paper in two
yearn for 18.250.’* 7 ,
rf ~ “Great financier?”
‘•Yes; a judicious combination of
financeand journalistic instinct. Smidge-
ly arrived in Lose Tree with only $25,
mid put np at a hc^el where the two men
;.'^or rather boys—who owned the paper
boarded. One.of them was a printer—
the younger onej tho other was a stock
man np on the Loup river who didn't
know an em quad from a tripenny lath
nail. The price asked for The Courier
waa $1,400. Smidgely looked the office
ever, said he’d take it, paid the boys $20
down, pulled off his coat and went to
work. There was of course a mortgage
on the eetfit. I never saw a ,country pa
per in that state wilhont one. One note
of $700 was due the next week. Smidge
ly got out a rattling good paper—it was
a weekly. Tho first issue showed up
signs of improvement, and then be went
down and introduced himself to the
county trmjfcurer.
Before he left he got that official to
promise to use his influence with the
county commissioners in getting tho tax
list to publish, and finally succeeded in
borrowing $900 on the promise of a good
bonus on tho tax list fat The list came
to $1,100, all clear money by the way,
and then Bmidgely got the county com-
misnomers to publish tho official proceed
ings of the board—something that had
’ peter been done before—and this at 40
•eats an inch, he fatted np to l>e worth
at least $30 a week—all net gain. The
whole town fell dead in love with
Smidgely, advertising rolled in, they
elected him justice of the peace, sent
him to the legislature and boomed him
for all there was in sight. Well, when
the man came along, as 1 said, Smidgely
■old out for $6,250, went to Denver and
sunk the whole in some mining specula
tion. Every word of this story is true,
and it shows the possibilities which are
always looming np in young states for
young, enterprising men. £t. Paul Pio-

M««a Virts* la o«ir Water.
Probabl y you never beard of it before,
but the water of the Gulf stream is con-1
fidratly believed by certain old people <« .
fiUtsa Island to be a sovereign remedy
for disorders of the stomach. They drink
half a glassful after sack msal, sma* k t
their lips, and in about three days they
get well. So they say.* Bo pilots and
other seafaring men who get out to the
Omit stream are frequently Importuned
to bring in jags of the gulf water for
the Invalids. ’ There is n saloon keeper
down there whose faith In this sort of
thing is unlimited, and he has been be
rtegtag for about three yean a certain *
pilot of his acquaintance to bring him la
some of the water. Bat tbs pilot always
forgot.
Tho other day. however, be tickled the
old man almost to death by bringing
him three jugs of the precious liquid.
The saloon keeper began to brace np at ^
oooe. and three days later be chaeed the
pilot half way around the Island to over
whelm him kith gratitude.
•*8o it did you good, did itT say* the
piloV
“Ooodr seys the old man. “Why,
bless you. my boy. it has added ten years
to my life. 1 feel like a yonugster again.
Ell bet I can beat you in a foot race
right hers.’*
And the pilot did not smile nor jibe
Bor jeer. But when the flood tide hail
been running abont an hour that even
ing he went softly down to the end of j
Stapleton pier, drew out a tin bucket
and dipped up about a gallon of the
limpid stream. And the next morning
the saloon keeper was overjoyed to get
two more jug* pf Golf stream water .
from his thoughtful friend.
“It’s kind of a shabby trick.* says the
pilot apologetically, ‘'but as long as
there are buckets handy around Staple- !
ton I guess Uncle Josh needn’t go with
out Gulf stream prater.’*—New York
Herald.

Truth la fttrmfifcr Thun Fiction.
A well known novelist of thin city was
telling how he finds his plots. “1 have
found nearly all of them in real lifo by
interconrsa with people in all sorts of
society. There are no plots ter be drawn
from the imagination tliat are equal in
interest to those that can bo learned by
knowing the actual experiences of many
of our men and women. Here in New’
York you can hear of plenty of lovelorn
damsels and bold swains; you can find
heroes and heroines a-plenty: you can
hear of marvelous adventures; you can
find people whose career lias been ro
mantic; you can hear of intrigues and
th6ir denouement; you can meet charac
ters who would shine on the printed
page; you can easily find in the actual
experience of your acquaintances all the
material needed for tragical tales or i
humorous yarns. Why, the best plot I
ever wrote up was not of my invention,
hut waa in the story of her own life
given me by my cook.’’—New York Sun.

The Value of Cathartic*.
Paradoxical as it may seem cathartics
art remedies for diarrhoea ns well as con-
atipation. That is, in the earliest stage
of duurrhosa the first thing needed is to
wash out the intestinal canal. Caetor oil
has peculiarities which recommend it
tag this purpose. In moft case# if tjj in
testine* are properly freed and the diet
is restricted for a few days to bland
foods the diarrhoea will subside without
further treatment If it does not small
doses of paregoric will generally greatly
favor a curs.—Boston He-.-ald.
