An Imeident of His Departure Which Was Subsequently Explained. From Lippincott’s. The whistle tooted a warning note, the bell rang, and the colonel cordially shook hands all around. Steppmg on the rear platform of the train, he turned about ence more and waved his good-byes to persons in the distance. Just at the moment that the wheels began to turn Hank McDougall, his marshals star gleaming on his vest—he wore no coat—came running down Wyo- ming avenue from the post office, a yellow paper im his hand, which he waved dra- matically over his head. “Stop that train!’ yelled the town mar- shal; but the conductor and engineer did not hear, and the train moved on. “Jursp,you scoundrel, jump!”” again yelled Hank, at the same time drawing his gun. The colonel’s only answer was a polite wave of the hand. Then Hank took a snap shot at the fast departing train, and—would you believe !t?—that little old man whipped out two pistols from somewhere, quick as a wink, and for a few moments the way the bullets whistled about the heads of the crowd along the track was something won- derful. And as the train grew smaller and smaller in fts straightway course over the prairie, the last act of the lone passenger on the rear platform was to wave a white handkerchtef toward the little city of Lariat and disappear within the car. The town marshal replaced his gun in his hip pocket and turned sadly away. Deaf to repeated inquiries 2s to the meaning of it all, he disappeared within the editorial sanctum; for in the midst of all excitement he still remembered that, ex-officio, he was an editor, and—he was both thrifty and a cautious man. An hour later another edition of the Ex- ponent appeared. double leaded, as if in mourning, and the copies sold for a dollar apiece. The editorial was brief and to the point: “From a telegram received only too late by our town marshal, because of the ne- cessity of forwarding it by mail from Crouch’s, it appears that our late distin- guished visitor, Stemble, was none other than the well-known desperado and confi- dence man, Ike Rogers, lately a fugitive from the Black Hills. It Is painful to be forced to state that the greenbacks which Rogers so generously distributed while in Lariat are clever counterfeits, in exchange for which he carried away thousands of dollars of our citizens’ earnings. “The editor of the Exponent bids farewell to his many friends, and announces his in- tention of pulling up stakes and moving immediately to the Big Horn country.” Frem the Chicago Tribune. “If you have a mcment to spare,” sald the canvasser, “I would like to show you the prospectus of a new dictionary. It con- tains about 200,000 more words than Web- ster’s or Worcegter’s, including all the latest additions to the language—” “Has it the word electrocution?” Mr. Hardedde, without looking up. “Has it? I should remark! Also ‘electro- cute’ and ‘electrccutioner.’ It’s up to date. There's no other dictionary tn {t with this one when It comes to—” joes it contain the word ‘trolleyed?” “Let me see. Yes. Here it 1s.

Thin people are thin because the food they eat 1s not absorbed. Reasons—elther wrong food, or right food undiges Fats, oils and greas S This is because they are indigestible. Thin people find it hard to digest their food, Fatty foods make it still harder. Have you ever noticed thet almost without ex- ception thin, pale, dyspeptic, angemle people have an aversion to fat? This is of itself proof enough that such foods are bad for them. Let your pulate tell you what to eat. Nature makes very few mistakes, and we should listen to what she says. "sin people may become fatter and dyspeptics more comfortable by taking the Shaker Digestive Cordial. It agrees with the weakest stoma-h. It helps the weak stomach digest other food.

Theré are very few days remaining in which one may do Christmas shopping, and those who havemet made out lists of what they still need are pretty sure to find The Star’s suggestions of a good deal of value. It would be impossible to sum up all the bargains and“attractions offered by Washington's stores,for never have they presented such a fascinating appearance as thay do this yeaty:but a careful reading of The Star’s advertising columns and of its Christmas hints will help many a be- wildered shopper to reach a conclusion as to what to buy, and Where to buy it. There is no Christmas present more at- tractive, and at the’Same time more ser- viceable, than a good overcoat or a serge water-proof mackintoshes, and no one has them in any better Style or quality than Parker, Bridget & Co., 315 7th street. They carry a magnificent stock of men’s and boys’ clothing at prices that make it an object to shoppers to make a visit of in- spection to this popular headquarters. In the athletic goods department there is fine picking in the way of holiday presents for men and boys. They carry a fine line of ice skates, boxing gloves, punching bags, sweaters, skating, golf and bicycle suits, ard it Is a curtous boy that would not be pleased with something from that sort of a display. From the first Parker, Bridget & Co.have been hammering away at prices, and thelr advertisements have always made attractive reading for sensible buy- ers, but never before have they offered so many bargains and “good things” as they are doing at the present time. It would seem foolish to let such a good opportunity slip by without taking advantage of It. There are very few things needed by a good housekeeper, that cannot be found, and at reasonable prices, at the Universai House Furn\shing Store, 9th street. In the big stock there displayed are plenty of articles that are splendidly suited for holi- day gifts, and one will. find himself well repaid by a visit to the store. There are lots of things necessary for a complete Christmas celebration, beside the toys and the decorations for the tree. There are all sorts of staple groceries and dainties for the Christmas table, and every one knows there is no place to get them better than at N. W. Burcheli’s, 1325 F street. One_of his specialties is a fine quality of Springleaf tea that is just as nice as tea can be. Everything else for Christmas can be found there from soup to plum puddings, candies and_ preserves, fruit. in jars, chocolates and chovolate creams, while the staple articles in the grocery line cannot be excelled anywhere. It is getting to be quite the thing uowa- days to drop in at Fritz Reuter’s restau- rant at the corner of Pennsylvania avenue and 4% street for one of his nice table @hote dinners. The ladies’ restaurant up- stairs is a very popular place, especially in the evening, for those who know the de- lights of the dainty German dishes that Reuter knows so well how to serve, with the best of imported or domesut beer. He will serve an extra fine meal on Christmas day, but it is almost as good other days, and a specialty is made of oysters in every style. Substantial Christmas gifts with all the credit desired is what the majority of peo- ple are seeking just about this time. If it is desired to make presents that will be lasting monuments to the generosity of the giver nothing could be hit upon more sult- able thar furniture. At Rudden’s, ith street, a specialty is made of selling on eredit, and the proprietor advertises an ex- quisite display of beautiful noveity and banquet lamps, with silk and porcelain shades, which he dectares to be the pret- tiest and tastiest of all gifts. Then there are an army of néw 'nuvelty rockers, a Christmas special cbiffonter, a line of bed room suites, specially selected fer the holt day trade, and said to be the prettiest goods in the city, as well as carpets of every description. It is set forth that the lowest prices prevail at Rudden’s, notwith- standing that credit on the easiest terms is allowed. It would-be wise to at least visit this establishment whea looking for Presents. The joyful Christmas season fs close at hand, says C. D. Kenny, the proprietor of six well-known stores fn this city, and he adds that he proposes to commemorate it in a substantial manner Saturday, Decem- ber 21, by presenting ‘customers and art critics with a richly colored lithograph, en- titled “Friends,” an original work painted especially for the occasion. In addition 10 the picture, buyers may secure at Kenny's @ superior line of teas, coffees, sugars and other supplies necessary for the holiday season. The stores are located at 7th and I streets northwest, 429 7th street south- west, Pennsylvania avenue and 3d street geutheast, 7th and O streets northwest, 14th and Q streets northwest and 32d and Dumbarton avenue. Cakes cannot be baked properly nor can Christmas dinner be made appetizing with- out a hot fire. The Washington Gas Light Company, 413 10th street northwest, de- clares that coke makes a hot fire, and adds that ft is an economical fuel, for it lasts longer than coal, it is very quick to ignite and contains neither dirt nor clinkers. It will be delivered to any part of the city by leaving orders with the company or with William J. Zeh, 926 N street. Now is the time to buy your Christmas supplies, says the M. Metzger Company, 417 7th street northwest, and it offers a large assortment of new nuts, raisins, citron, candles, figs, mince meat, preserves, Burbank potatoes, oats, starch and the like at attractive prices. It is urged that or- ders be giver now, in order that proper service may be assured. If there is anything that will make Christ- mas enjoyable in common with the rest of the year it is good butter—grass butter, whole-grain butter.colored a rich yellow,not by annotto or any other coloring mixture, but by the clean, rich, julcy feed that the good farmer gives his cow. You can find this kind of butter at D. William Oyster’s,340 Center market. For distant friends, who must be remem- bered at Christmas time, do not forget pho- tographs. A new picture of the baby, of your wife, even of your mother-in-law, at Christmas time ts a nice gift for some far- away relative or friend. You can get them at Rice's. In real Christmasland, where the day with all its associations includes snow, and frost, and Ice, and a grand, good time out- doors in the bracing air of winter, many a boy does not get his winter boots until he finds them by the fireside Christmas morn- ing. To him they are a priceless gift, as enjcyable as almost any other Santa Claus may bring. To thousands of boys in Wash- ington this year new boots and shoes will come as Christmas gifts, and wise buyers will find them of the best quality at the low- est prices in Edmonston’s Popular Shoe Store, 1334 F street northwest. In no pursuit does character tell so well as in selling good butter and eggs. The busi- ness of James F. Oyster, 9) Pennsylvania avenue, shows this. Quality and prompt- ness have steadily increased his trade year after year, until it leads in the front rank. It is well Known that one can be absolutely -sure of getting nothing but pure butter by purchasing of James F. Oyster. Christmas wines and. liquors should be se- lected with great care. ‘A large and uns: passed assortment can be found at Selig. s. 124) Pennsylvania avenue, the agency of the Passadena Wine Company, und at prices that defy competition. You can sample any you wish before purchasing. ‘The are few things that Christmas shop- uld seek that cannot be found at s Enterprise, 12%)-41 11th street south- Raff's Enterprise has given to the east. southeastern portion of the city a mam- demand, moth store to supply- the local though it has been sought by people 18 For the children there s, doll carriages and a variety There are sl hg and drums fo: prything for h@usehold use, men’s ig and furnishings, ladies’ c ks and goods of all kinds, j yk etc. Raff's En- » is open ev night until after the 's. The store ee beautifully lighted, so that shopping at night is accomplished as satisfactorily as it could be in the day- time. Ch seo time to provide a new for the coachman. Schutz of 805 mont avenue, site the Arlington, has a fine line of tailo material, and just now he ts making a specialty of a line suit- able for coachmen. All sorts of tailoring rk of the highest class at moderate prices is attended Lo. Frank Libbey & €o. are making an offer that will he of interest to truck farmers. They offer hotbed sashes for 58 cents e: and they are made of the finest white They have all kinds of sashes with zrooves for slipping glass in, as well as the regular ald-fashioned kind for putty. Libbey & Co. also offer 100 feet of boards for $1 of even thickness and of any lergth. Weather str.vs can also be secured at 1% cents per foot. These strips are made of cherry and with rubber or felt facing. For keeping a house warm, and to prevent the shaking of old ° window sashes these strips are indispen- sable. Libbey & Co. are located at their old staid, 6th street and New York ave- nue. It 1s not difficult to please lovers of out-of- Goor sports if the list of articles submitted by Cline Bros., 999 Pennsylvania avenue, is studied. All sorts of athletic goods are «lis- played there. Skates, sleds, ladies’ and '$ sweaters, foot balts, dumb bells and Ss, etc., are offered at reasonable prices. Dull razors, knives or scissors are abomi- nations which no one should endure for @ moment, when facilities are at hand for put- ting edges on them. Take them to Alfred A. Smith & Co., 1108 F street, and be bothered no longer. ‘The holidays cannot be enjoyed by any one suffering from bunions, ingrowing or club nails, or like ills, amd no one need suffer a moment longer than is required to visit Prof. J. J. Georges & Son, the well-known and successful chiropodists, 1115 Pennsyl- vania avenue. Their office hours are 8 a.m. to 5<%) p.m., and 9 a.m. to 12 noon Sundays. Next to pure water there is nothing so necessary, perhaps, as pure milk, and pev- ple cannot too closely scrutinize the mile furnished them. Indeed, none should he pur- chaged where there is the slightest doubt as absolute purity. Manager Everett Scott of the Joba B, Scott farm, Maryland, assures his patrons, through sworn aifi- davits of examining physicians, of the purity of the milk furnished by him. It is delivered in sealed glass bottles at eight cents per quart. Send a postal to Mr. Scott, 1405 Lith street. One of the most potent blood purifiers and liver regulators known to seience is “Our Native Herbs.” By taking it many persons have had their heaith restored, and their rigor renewed. The price is but $1, and for that amount 200 days’ treatment is secured. The holidays cannot be enjoyed without health, and this medicine is highly +. mended to those in search of it. A tri it will convince even the skeptical of a is claimed for it. When things go right in the kitchen they are pretty liable to be pleasant all over the house. [t behooves sensible people, there- fore, to see that everything below siairs ts in apple-pie order, so the cook and the servants have no excuses for meals badly prepared and poorly served. There is no treuble with the bread and meats and vegetables that are cooked by means of a Majestic range such as is sold by B. F. Guy & Co., the sole agents, at No. 1005 Pennsylvania avenue. These ranges are made of malleable iron and steel and are equipped with every requisite for (horough and rapid cooking. The married man who sees his wife bend- ing over her sewing day after day, tortur- ing her back and pricking her fingers mak- ing his shirts and the children’s clothes could fill her soul with joy by going to C. Auerbach’s, at 800 7th street, where it joins H street, and buying a Domestic Sewing machine for her. He might also in- crease his own ccmfort and escape winter colds and rheumatic aches by getting him- self one of the fainous Saxony wool Ger- man hand-knit jackets, for which Mr. Auerbach is the agent. The young man who is uncertain just what to send to a young lady for a Christ- mas gift can easily find his way out of the dilemma by going straightway to Huyler’s, at 12th and F streets, and buying ner a box of the delicicus candy that has made the name of Huyler world famous. Their chocolate and coeoa for eating and drink- Ing are none the less pure and delightful than their creations in the candy lue, and those anticipating receiving on day will add to the pleasure of serving them a cup of ‘‘Huyler’s. If a plano is under consideration as a Christmas gift, H. Eherbach of 915 F street northwest would call attention to the Emerson, sold at his establishment. You will be glad after purchasing an Em- erson, he says, because you will have an instrument that will be always a pride and a pleasure to you. Dictionaries and cyclopaedias come with- in the category of sensible Christmas gifts. R. A. Dinsmore of 628 G street northwest offers for sale the “Standard Dictionary” and the “People’s Cyclopaedia” and at the same time calls attention to the fact that they are both up to date in the body of the work and not by means of a new date on the title page. ——_=___ THE CURATIVE SAND BATH. & It ln Reported to Be Used With Good Results in Various Diseases. The Mohammedans, in their ablutions, re- Place water by sand when needful. This religous practice has, it appears, become an element of modern therapeutics. At the reunion of Swiss physicians held this year at Ouchy, Dr. Suchard read a paper on the sand bath. Invalids have been completely or partially cured by sand heated to a tem- perature varying, according to the case, from 45 degrees to 65 degrees C. The sand, containing air between Its particles and be- ing a bad conductor of heat, transmits it in a gentle and almost insensible manner. Perspiration Is favored up to the point where a patient may lose two quarts of liquid in one sand bath. Thanks to this evaporation, the invalid may support con- tinued high temperature without the actual temperature of the body rising more than a few degrees, and this without fear of heart affectrors, if care be taken to put hot sand on the feet at the outset. The number of ailments that may be treated by this powerful curative agent is consider- able. In the first place, it is especially beneficial to chronic rheumatism and to gout. Neu- ralgia and sotatica are cured or benefited ty local or general baths. The various organic troubles of the nervous system, cardiac or digestive affections, have been treated by this method, sometimes with re- markable success. The same ts true of tuberculous affections of the bones and joints. The account given by Dr. Suchara contains statistical tables relating to more than 100 patients annually. ~—_—__+e+_____ MIXED DRINKS THESE. Startling Results of Analysis of Li- quors Sold Over Boston Bars. From the Boston Herald. J An effort has been made*by the state beard of health to determine the quality of Hquor sold over the bar in the ordinary city saloons. The results are somewhat startling. Ac- cording to analysis made of samples col- lected, a devotee of the cup might call for whisky and drink brandy; he might order rum and get whisky; in fact, the combina- tions evolved by the board are as numerous as those in a political struggle. In the soft drinks, so-called, ale and beer, a common custom seems to to preserve them by the addition of salicylic acid. This drog is everywhere recognized as harmful. In the analysis of samples of whisky one, with 2.70 per cent of alcohol, had for the re- mainder of its ingredients an excess of taunic acid and the balance brandy. In another case the whisky was chiefly brandy. Under the head “rum,” two cases were “practically aleohol and water,” another “chiefly whisky flavored with acetic ether,” and a fourth “chiefly brandy.” ‘The “beer’* was designated in several in- stances as aalicylic acid and fusel oil,” and In other cases by one of the two above named poisons. “Coriander flavor,” “whisky,” ‘alcohol’ and “anise” masqueraded as “gin,” while the disguises of brandy were “‘largely whis- ky," “‘chiefty alcohol,” “fusel ofl” and other things. ‘The “preservatives” in sweet cider were absent In each case. In ‘‘soda water” five tests were made and in four “lead,” “tar- taric acid,” “fron” and “very hard’ water™ were discovered. <> 4, ( WA 4 q v ‘ ¥ i ay ( NM 4 iN De I 2 x Nr i 4 ie PN we Nr What Society Really Is ¥ BY MRS.

JONAS & CO., 1323 F STREET, Distributing Agents. Some ef the Peeulinr Things London Pe © Want. From the Westminster Gaz-* Curiously worded advertisements, which are funny without intent, are common in the London papers, it would seem. An English periodical offered a prize the other day for the best collection of such an- nouncements and the following is the re- ‘Annual sale now on. Don’t go elsewhere to be cheated—come in here.* “A lady wants to sell her piano, as she is going abroad in a strong iron frame.” “Wanted, experienced nurse for bottled baby.” “Fur- nished apartments suitable for gentlemen with folding doors.” “Wanted, a room by two gentiemen about thirty feet long and twenty yeet broad.” “Lost, a collie dog by @ man on Saturday answering to Jim with @ brass collar round his neck and a muz- ale.” “Wanted, by a respectable girl, her pass- age to New York; willing to take care of children and a good sailor.” “Respectable widow wants washing for Tuesday.” “For sale—A pianoforte, the property of a musti- in with carved legs.” “Mr. Brown, fur- rier, begs to announce that he will make up gowns, capes, etc., for ladies out of their own skin.” “A boy wanted who can open oysters with reference.” ‘Bulldog for sale; will eat anything; very fond of children.” ““Wanted—An organist, and # boy to blow the same.” “Wanted—A boy to be partly outside and partly behind the counter.” “Wanted—For the summer, a cottage for @ small family with good @rainage.” “Lost —Near Highgate archway, am umbrella be- longing to a gentleman with a bent rib and a bone handle.” “Widow in comfortable circumstances, wishes to marry two sons.” “Wanted—Good boys for punching.” “To be disposed of, 2 mail phaeton,the property of a gentleman with a movable headpiece as good as new.” The last is the copy of an inscription painted on a board which adorned a fence in Kent: “Notis: If any man’s or woman's cows get into these here otes, his or her taf! will be cut off as the case may be.” ——___- e+ —___ DRINK HABIT DYING OUT. Some Facts Which Point te Such a Conclusion. From the Philadelphia Bulletin. Tt ts only a natural deduction from other facts that the drink habit fs falling off. One of these is the common practice of railroads — and other corporations to require not merely | temperance, but total abstinence, on the | part of their employes. This at once with- draws from the saloons the patronage of a | large body of men, most of them young men, who are the best patrons of such places when they patronize thom at all. The Chris- tion Endeavor movement, which has had such wonderful success in gathering young men to its banner, is another potent enemy of drink, and withholds from the saloons many thousands yearly. Still another adverse influence is that of society. There is pienty of @ginking done in seciety, and society smiles on !t, but, all the same, when a man's character is under dis- cussion in society, the admission that “he drinks a little now and then” always counts against him. That is really the meaning ef the screened doors and frosted windows of the saloons; it is not reputable for a man to be seen drinking, and this consideration has its influence in restraining the habit. It is tolerably plain, then, that the use of intoxicating liquor is on the wane.
