Nobody Can Work a "Con Game" on Him. ACCUSES MAN OF SWINDLING. Takes Him to Station House For Selling Mrs. Bowser Breastpin Ho Thought Brass���������Told to Go Home and Lose Sharpness. ' By M. QUAD. [Copyright, 1903, by Associated Literary Press. J 'RS. BOVVSWOK laid just got ready 10 yo downtown und do some shopping when there was n ring ;ii the bell anil she opened Uie duui*. to lind u strange man ou the steps. tie was a workiiigmaii, and he held in his hand a little bos which he opened, showing a breastpin, and said: "Lady, I am out of work and my wil'e is ill, and I want to sell you tin's article to raise a little money." "But you should go lo a pawnbroker," was tlie reply. "lie will only loan on It, and that not half its \-alue. I want money for medicines and food." "'The pin may be brass for all I know," said Mrs. Bowser after lookin*. at it. "J.ndy, I pledge you my word that it's solid gold. Il was a wedding present to my wife. It's worth ^ 10, but you may have II for three." "It may have been stolen." "I nsU you If I look like a thief? I'll give you my name and address and you cau find out that things are as 1 tell you. Take it for S"-\ for 1 must have moii'jy. The doctor has left a prescription that I must have tilled." Mrs. Bowser had heard so much about fakers that slio was afraid, a.ud yet she had lo admit that the mau looked what he claimed to be. After a brief mental struggle she handed over the money aud said she would keep the pin simply as security. When the man iiad departed it struck her to take the pin along aud ask a jewel- dial wouldn't fool a baby, nnd yet you hah* lo admit it," he laughed. "Why, woman. I was ou to that game before I was out of knickerbockers. It's oue of a dozen well known con games." "And weren't you ever fooled?" "Me taken in-inc, Bowser? Not on your life. I have never come within forty rods of it. Gold? Why a child could smell the brass. And he said he had a sick wife��������� tin: ha! ha.'" '"If a jeweler says it's brass"��������� "How can he say anything else? Why don't you own up that you've been played? Ves, I'll lake it' over, and I'll also tell him what a keenwitted wife I have. Gold: A sick wife!" Makes an Arrest. Mr. (Bowser had headed for a jewelry store when a pedestrian stopped and accosted him with: ' ���������"Mister, here's a diamond ring belonging to my wife. There's two small diamonds, and the ring cost $-10. I'll take Srju for it." "Uui, urn. Maybe you are the man that sold my wife a breastpin lor $2 today." '"1 sold one to a lady somewhere around here. She was very kind to ' help me out, but 1 must have more money." "Vou are just tlie chap I want to see. Take a walk with me." "I will." '"It was a gold breastpin, was it?" "For sure." "And this is a diamond ring?" "it is. sir." Mr. Bowser walked the man into a poli'-e station and up to the desk and said to the sergeant: "Ollicer, here is a man I want to give in charge, 'lie's a swindler." "Aren't you mistaken?" asked the ollicer. "I have kuown the man two or three years. He's a hard worker aud out of luck. He was asking me to buy a breastpin this forenoon." "But he sold it to my wife, and it's brass. The diamouds in his ring are only glass." The sergeant sent for a jeweler across the street, and when the man had made his examination and report. Mr. Bowser stood with open mouth and might have remained an hour longer had he not been told: "Belter run borne, now. and try to lose some of your sharpness on the way." "Well?" asked Mrs. Bowser, as he arrivi'd. "Fools and jackasses, the whole pack of 'em," he replied as he sat down with a grunt. And that's all she got out of him. THE EASIEST WAY.

"This suu 'II peel.you, stranger, if you don't get out of it." "1 hope so," crossing his arms complacently over his breast. The native studied Mr. (jIIberry for a moment. "If It ain't pryiii' into your affairs too much I'd like to know what you are paradin' around In this killin' sun dressed like that for?" "To save time," answered Mr. (Ill- berry, critically examining a red arm. The native regarded Mr. (J il berry profoundly, sadly shook his head, lapped his forehead significantly and clucked to his horse.

He wandered down to the stationmaster's office one evening and complained of the lack of amusement to be had. "Have you no concerts, or anything of that kind here in summer to help to pass the time away?" "No. was the response, naething o' that kind, but if ye come back aboot eight o'clock ye'll see the goods train shuntin'!"���������X.Y.Z. Sir Mackenzie Bowell Has Been Work For Seventy-Five Years. The oldest working journalist in Canada is Sir Mackenzie- Bowell. of The Belleville Intelligencer. Away back in 1834 he walked into that office and asked for a job. He got it. He was then only twelve years old. For seventy-five years Sir Mackenzie has been actively identified with The Intelligencer, and to-day, when Parliament is not in session, you can always find him at his desk in his home city. Pie is never idle and can pen as able and argumentative an editorial to-day as he could half a century ago. From "devil" he climbed not only to the editorship and ownership of The Intelligencer, out also to the Premiership of Canada. The veteran knight even yet, sets type occasionally by way of diversion. I When on a western trip in 1895, I during the time that he was Premier, he called at the office of The Calgary Herald to see tho plant and observe the working of the Mergenthaler typecasting machines, The Herald being the first office on the prairies to install them. He got talking of the improvements in printing trade as compared with half a century ago. In answer to a bantering inquiry as to whether he could stick type as well as ho did when a boy, he picked up a stick and set several lines of brevier. The incident was referred to at considerable length in the columns of Tho Herald that evening under the heading "The Premier of Canada sets type in The Herald office." Another good story, which Sir Mackenzie loves to tell, is that, when Minister of Customs in the administration of Sir John A. Macdonald, he was on a horseback lour through the West visiting the Crow's Nest Pass country. Roughly attired for the long journey, when ho got to Revelstoke he sauntered leisurely into a printing office and asked for a job, telling the proprietor, who did not recognize him, that be was a tramp printer and wanted to get a little money to go east. The boss sized him up and said rather regretfully that he had no position vacant. The Cabinet Minister thanked him and left. It was only a few hours after that the newspaper man learned of the identity of his caller. He hunted him up, and the two had a hearty laugh over the episode. CA.NTOH'S FLOATING SLUMS.

Stand beside the imperial custom house in Canton, China, and let the eye range clown the river toward Hong Kong. As far as the sight can reach lie boats, boats and again boats, writes a correspondent. These are no ordinary craft, mere vessels of transport plying hither and thither, but the countless homes of myriad Chinese, in which millions have been born, havo lived and died. They aro the dwellings of the very poor, whe live in them practically free frorr- rent, taxes and the other burdens oi the ordinary citizen. The tankia (which means boat dwellers), as the denizens of theua floating houses are called, form a sett of caste apart from the rest of the Cantonese. The shore dwellvrs regard them as belonging to a lower social order, and indeed they have many customs-peculiar to themselves which mark them as a separate community. How the swarming masses of them contrive to support existence is a mystery, but their chief mode of employment is in carrying merchandise and passengers from place to place. In some cases the daughters of the family go ashore to work in factories, as do the girls of other countries; but the year's earnings of a Chinese factory girl would scare suffice to buy a single hat for her western sister. Of course as against this low rate of pay the standard of living is correspondingly different. The houses which make up these vast floating slums are of all sizes. Some are but 15 feet long. From these cramped dmensions, however, they range up to a length of 50 or 60 feet. A boat large enough to accommodate a family of moderate size can be obtained for $20, and since the anchorage is free it is obvious that the tankia effect many savings impossible to the shore dweller. Saskatchewan's Premier. The Premier of Saskatchewan, Hon. Walter Scott, began life as a printer's "devil" in the early days of Regina when it was a small town and its only claim to note lay in being the headquarters of the Territorial Government.. Young Scott applied for a- job one day and got it. He swept the floor, pulled proofs, washed rollers and lighted fires in the office of a country weekly. He did the work faithfully and had ambition. No one in that early period, however, dreamed that one day he would be the chief adviser of His Majesty in a great Canadian province. To find the secret of his success one must know the man. If asked to name the qualities that have led to his ach'anceinent, his friends would say that courage and stick-to- it-iveness, along with an affable disposition, are his predominant characteristics. He is a vigorous campaign speaker, and never hits below the belt. He is not a man to trifle with on the platform as many an interrupter knows to his sorrow. During the last provincial campaign he was speaking at Lumsden, where some opposition was in evidence. As Mr. Scott was talking a heckler yelled, "Eats." Quick as a flash came the retort: . / "Has my young friend over there got them in/his pocket or in his head?" / No further interjections were heard after the laughter had subsided, and tlie* meeting went on peacefully until a late hour. to 20 years ago, most everyono considered that all Underwear���������no matter how well cut and made���������- would shrink and harden. In those.days, the makers were working on the wrong idea. They were trying to find n way .to finish Underwear so that it would not shrink,-instead of trying to find a way to get the shrink out the wool before the . yarn went to the knittinp- machines. The late C. E: Stanfield���������who knew wool as only a man'can know it who studies'it from the sheep's back to the wearer's" back���������gave his attention to the problem for years. Living in Nova Scotia, he soon realized that woolen underwear, and the best- of pure woolen underwear, was tlie only kind that would and could protect the Canadian against the rigorous Canadian Winter. He found that as underwear was then made, he could not make woolen underwear that would not shrink, mat and harden. ��������� He devoted himself to this problem and after many years of experimenting, he finally discovered a method by which he could take the shrink out of the wool before the garments- were knitted. 4 c c ThjS ���������eth������c1, .imProved and perfected, has made possible the immense business or btanfield s Limited, with a larger output of their special classes of Underwear ��������� than any other factory in Canada.

"Train robbers, burglars, safe blowers, holdup men and, in fact, nearly all that class of professional criminals who resort to deeds of violence are greatly addicted to the use of iodoform," said a former California sheriff. "These follows after committing some crime besprinkle tlieir clothing liberally with the loud smelling fluid. They also pour it on their guns and knives and the tools of their trade. The reason is that they often make hurried flights in which they are not infrequently trailed with bloodhounds. There is nothing 11 bloodhound hates worse than the scent of iodoform, and it has been repeatedly the cause of the clog abandoning pursuit of a fugitive malefactor. Knowing this, the crooks are liberal buyers of an article that may tend to cause their freedom from capture." Father Lacombe. On September 8, Rev. Father La- combe for the twenty thousandth time celebrated High Mass in the cathedral of St. Albert, near Edmonton, Alberta. The occasion was also the fiftieth anniversary of the establishment of the Gray nuns in the place. The town, the convent, schools, cathedral, and the palace of Bishop Legal were all beautifully decorated. The cathedral was crowded at the services, and Father Lacombe took charge. After the celebration of the Mass, Rev! Father Leduc, himself a pioneer priest of the west, preached, and in the course of his remarks referred to the work of Father Lacombe in his early pioneer days. At the luncheon which followed the services. Bishop Legal presided, and on his left were Lieutenant-Governor Bulyca, on his right Hon. C. W. Cross, Attorney-General of the province. Among the other guests were Rev. Father Lacombe, Senator Roy, several members of the local Legislature, and others. Rev. Father Lacombe, who is now- over eighty years of age, was ordained on June 13, 1849, by the then Bishop of Montreal, and almost immediately thereafter he went to the west, where he has labored ever since. He mastered the Cree language and published a dictionary and grammar of that language, as well as traveling thousands of miles each year, and establishing several new churches.

The signs are plain. The sufferer cannot keep his mind on work, passes restless nights, turns against food and cannot digest it, feels exhausted after exertion, while headaches and fits of dizziness often adds to the misery." These symp. toms denote that the nervous system' is weakened and insufficiently nourished. Dr. Williams' Pink Pills will promptly cure because they enrich the impure weak blood and thus give new strength and tone to the exhausted nerves. No other medicine can"do this so promptly and so surely. ��������� Mr. W. H. Hipson, East Pubnico, N.S., says: "For a number of years I was troubled with violent headaches. When these spells came on the pain ���������'���������as so severe that I feared I would lose my'senses. At the outset these headaches would come on about onee a week I doctored for the trouble and did evtrythihg possible, to get relief, but without avail, and as time went on-the attacks grew both in frequency and severity. . The, pain was terrible and with each attack seemed to grow worse. The only relief 1 could get was from a hot mustard foot bath, and the application of hot water and ammonia to iay head. I would then have to be led to bod where I had to remain until the attack passed away. At this time Dr. Williams' Pink Pills were brought to my notice, and while I scarcely hoped they would cure me, I decided to try them. After taking a few boxes I found that the attacks were not so severe, and I joyfully continued taking the Pills until I had used ten boxes when every symptom of the trouble had passed away, and I was in better health than I had ever enjoyed before.

Ryrie Bros., Limited 134-138 Yonge Street TORONTO Canada Seems to Have an Excellent Market In Vladivostock. In a recent issue of The Journal of the Canadian Bankers' Association, there appeared an article by Mr. Allen Lothbridge on the market which Siberia offers for Canadian manufactured goods. With regard to the possibilities for trade, Mr. Lethbridge has tnis to say: "Vladivostock, the harbor of Siberia, is, situated approximately at the same distance from Vancouver as is Yokohama, and is open to navigation at all times of the year. Canada should therefore be in a position to supply, easily and economically, a great proportion of imported goods, as at present these must either travel from Moscow by a single line of railway G,5C0 miles long, obviously at times causing terrible Congestion of traffic; or must make the long sea voyage via the Suez Canal and Singapore, occupying over two months. "Alreary Canadian agricultural implements are favorably known in Western Siberia, where they arc in successful competition with, both the German and American makes. The International Harvester Co. of Chicago are opening a branch at Vladivostock, thus showing that they are alive to the possibilities of the situation, and intend making a bid to capture the market. Owing to the fact that this corporation arc willing to grant more extensive credit, facilities than the Canadian firms, it is probable [ that they may succeed. Canadian j companies would do well to carefully consider this question of credit, as it must prove" the keynote of success. The demand for agricultural machinery of all kinds must be a growing one to keep pace with the increase of population caused by the influx of immigrants." -A number of English papers have taken up this matter to some extent, and The Canadian Gazette of London, says: "Siberia will outlive its ill fame as an icy wilderness as the Canadian West has djne, and there is no limit to its expansive capacities. Canadian industrialism has here a great opportunity.*'. .. Warts are unsightly blemishes, and corns are painful growths. Holloway's Corn Cure will remove them.
