The eve nil';/ of the Waggener ju-
bilee in Atchison a Htroet faker stowi
on th«? Corner and sold watch chain
for 30 cents each, hate that night
on the depot platform lie «lid to n
Globe reporter: "I didn't ^>'1 in
town until 4 o'clock in tin* «iter-
noon, but I succeeded in «oiling IS
latins at 50 cents each. I actually
•¡cured more than $15 and didn't,
tret here until the crowd was goiinr,
away. If I hod arrived hen- early
I would have made at least or
$100. I can buy all the chain* I
want for lesa than '10 cent a each. Did
you hear the s-pal I made? 1 toid
the crowd that the chains were made
of metal we call ('uhnuola. I told a
long story about how a party of ex-
plorer. fount! this strange metal in
the wilds of Cuba and how they f.r.-t
thought it was jjold. They bad it
examined and found that while it
was not gold it looked the same and
.•oa!d not be told apart except by
an expert. Then explaining that
ni\ a few of these would be sold in
ach town rimply as an advertise-
ment I proceeded to sell them almost
is fast as 1 trouid hand them out of
ny satchel. Often J take out my
own chains to look at them and to
wmider why people buy them. I ven-
ture you can find better chains at
vorr .*> and 10 cent stcre. A good
■>tn et faker makes good money. I
vvdi average between S?.ui and $1<>0 a
v.<-<-k and don't work very hard,
either."' The faker own - a '¿40-acr.

GOT TOO FRIVOLOUS FOR HIM
Oeneral Weaver** Story of the Farmer
Who Did Net Read News-
paper* Any Mere.
"The lato Gen. James B. Weaver,"
Raid a Des Mo inca Populist, "had a
just faith in the American farmer.
He believed that from the farmer
the republic's regeneration would
come.
"He once condemned the carica-
turist's farmer—a type purely imag-
inary, that he hit off vividly with an
anecdote.
fartper of this type, said
General Weaver, was seated on a
barrel, whittling a stick, when «
traveler stopped and .said:
" 'Well, sir, what do you think of
Christian Science?'
*' fHain't heard nothin' on it,' the
farmer answered. >.
'"Well, well!' said the traveler,
and he resumed:
'"With which side do your sym-
pathies lio in the Turko-Italian
warF
" 'Didn't know there wuz no war/
muttered the farmer.
"The traveler then tried him on
another tack:
"Do you consider the Wright bi-
plane inferior to the foreign mono-
plane for Bwift, safe flying?'
" 'Sfur^ I know,' said the farmer,
'the world hain't seen no flyin' yit.'
"'Why, man,' exclaimed the trav-
eler, 'don't you ever read the news-
papers ?'
"'I useter,' said the farmer, with-
out lifting his eyes from his whit-
tling. 'I useter; hut ten or 'leven
years ago 1 stopped ii. They got
too frivolous fur me. Since then I
been readin' a l ook.' "—Detroit Free

WIRELESS IN THE DESERT.
One of the chief difficulties in
living by aeroplane over the desert,
tiiat of guidance, bills fair to be
Tei.tly U'ssened, if not entirely obvi-
ated, by a recent discovery of Sig.
.Marconi. The inventor, upon his re-
turn front a professional \ isit of ob-
servation to Tripoli, announced that
in sending wireless messages across
i he desert no poles or masts are
needed. It is only necessary to lay
the wires along the sand for a short
distance in the direction in which
the message is to be sent, and the
apparatus performs its functions as
perfectly as usual, if not better than
before. This is due to the complete
dryness and nonconductivity of the
sand.

Pains All Over!
"You are welcome," says Mrs. Nora Ouffey, of Broken
Arrow, Okla., "to use my letter in any way you want to,
if it will induce some suffering woman to try Cardui. I had
pains all over, and suffered with an abscess. Three phy-
sicians failed to relieve me. Since taking Cardui, 1 am in
better health than ever before, and that means much to me,
because I suffered many years with womanly troubles, of
different kinds. What other treatments I tried, helped me
for a few days only."
Cardui wom^bnic
Don't wait, until you are taken down sick, before tak-
ing care of yourself. The small aches and pains, and other
symptoms of womanly weakness and disease, always mean
worse to follow, unless given quick treatment
You would always keep Cardui handy, if you knew
what quick and permanent relief It gives, where weakness
and disease of the womanly system makes life seem hard
to bear. Cardui has helped over a million women. Try it
