A FRIEND IN NEED.
Despite Reports There Are Still a Few
Good llIen Left in the Country,
The conversation aro'nd the stove
in. a small New York hotel had gen-
eralized into a discussion on the ex-
istence ,of confidence among men in
their fellow men, and the side issue
of a desire to help a fellow out of the
hole, confidence or no confidence.
“All reports to the contrary not-
withstanding,” said a stock raiser
from a Southern state, “there are still
a few good men left.”
“I was out with a lot of fine stock,
horses and cattle, doing the various
country fairs, and as I had a fine
string I was doing right well in the .
matter of picking up the premiums in
sight. I got into Lebanon about time
for banks to be closing, and as soon
as I could I put out for the nearest
one I could get to. And this time
when I'struck it I had, when I got
my stock off the cars and housed, the
large sum of 15 cents. It was neces-
sary, therefore, that I have money, not
only to meet current expenses, but to
have it quick so I could pay my en-
trance money and get my stock on ex-
hibition, and that had to be done at
once, as the fair opened next morn-
ing. I had plenty of money in my
bank at home, so when I walked into
the Lebanon bank I felt quite confl-
dent, and without any preliminaries
I stepped to a desk, wrote a check on
my bank for $250, and handed it over
to the cashier, who was also presi—
dent, and most everything else, as I
learned later. He looked'at the check
a minute, then he looked straight at
me.
“How,” he said, “do I know whether
you’ve got any money in that bank or
not?”
I got red in the face, and might
have got mad. but I knew that
wouldn’t help matters any, and, be-
sides, the manner of the man was
such that I couldn’t have felt any ill-
will to save 'me. He could see that I
was worried.
“lVait a minute,” said my banker,
as he picked up my dishonored check
and turned away, at the same time
reaching under the counter to one side
of him and bringing out some bills.
“Here’s $50. If you have any luck,
pay me; if you don’t, pay me when
you do.”
“I took the money, for I knew I
could pay him, and I wrote him a
check for the amount.
“‘No,’ he said, shoving it back to
me, ‘if I thought your check was any
good I would have cashed the other
one. That’s all right,’ and he waved
me out of the place.
“The fifty was all I wanted, and
I hurried away and paid my entry
fee and had everything in shape for
the next day’s exhibit. It was a big
‘day, for it was a big fair in a rich
country, and I got over $500 in premi-
ums and sales, all in checks, and all
on the bank of the man who had
staked me for fifty. I walked in with
my checks, feeling a little brisker than
I did the day before, and laying them
down on the counter, I asked that
they be deposited to my credit, giv-
ing my name. My friend was on
deck, as he had been previously, but
he did not recognize me till I spoke.
Then he caught on.
“ ‘Well, I’ll be d—d,’ he exclaimed.
“Why didn’t you tell me you owned
them cattle, and you could have had
the whole bank?’
“Then he invited me to take a seat,
as they do in country banks, and he
told me he just thought the day be-
fore that I was a young fellow who
had been playing in hard luck, and
needed a stake,.and he was willing to
go fifty on me just to be doing it, and
knowing thatit would come back to
him some way, and if it didn't he had
enough, anyhow.”

The Hams “Vere Stufl‘ed Witl. .' nwdust and

.The San Francisco Ex. ‘iner says
that buying bolognas s fed with
wind instead of sausage n tat is not a
profitable investment, as ohn Daly
of 43-1 Jessie street, that c ', can tes-
tify. A few days ago Ir. Daly
bought a half interest in .. delicates-
sen store at 304 Fourth street from
Mrs. Martha Evarett, paying $200 for
his share of the stock and good will.
He saw her advertisement in a daily
paper, and thought the store would
be desirable for a gentleman who
wanted to embark in business.
Before purchasing John went down
and looked at the place, which fairly
reeked with good things. Along the
walls hung rows of nice fat sausages
and hams and smoked fish, while the
shelves held dozens of cans of corned
beef. There were kegs of ostensible
tripe and pigs’ feet, dried beef,
cheese and tins of pickled goods. Mrs.
Evarett showed her partner a large
consignment of eggs in cases and bar.-
rels of butter, and pointed ”with pride
to a. robust porcelain pig rooting in a
plate of uncooked beans in the win-
dow, after the manner of pigs in del-
icatessen stores. Thinking that the
place contained at least $800 worth
of stock, Mr. Daly bought it and took
charge of the store. His partner
wanted to go to the country for a few
daysg" and was perfectly willing to
trust him.
The first morning John opened up

damp cheese cloth. The 400 bottles
wrapped in pink tissue paper and sup
posed to contain wine and beer proved
to be nothing but unfiltered Spring
Valley water.
But the cruelest sham of all was
the sausage. The sleek brown skins
were filled with wind, and each one
was ballasted with a bullet to pre-
vent the sausage from floating up
against the ceiling like a toy balloon.
It was the same way with everything
else. The cans were all empty, and
the pickled tripe department was a
delusion and a- snare.
retired from business, and will sell

FRANK JAMES’S NEW JOB.
Will Guard Bullion Cars Against Western
Train Robbers. .
It would be odd if Frank James,
Jesse‘s brother, were to‘die at the
hand of train robbers who followed in
his early footsteps! It may come to
pass, too.
For now that oft quoted bit of ad
vice, “Set a thief to catch a thief,”
has been heeded by the express com-
panies who carry fortunes through
the Southwestern States in their
strong boxes, and who lose them
sometimes at the hands of despera-
docs.
Frank James, whose career of
crime is, perhaps, second only to that
of his notorious brother Jesse, is to
accept a position as special express
messenger, his duty being no other
than that of meeting train robbers at
their own game.
Frank James is no longer young,
but he can shoot with both hands,
and shoot straight. But it is not on
that account alone that his services
are in demand. The men who have.
made him an offer have decided that
the reputation which the man won as
a desperado, when the band which
he and his brother led was the dread-
ed scourge of several states, will
prove a better safeguard for their bul-
lion than even his ready revolver.
Indecd, it has been said, and with
some foundation, that if Jesse James
had heeded his brother’s warning, he
would never have been shot down by
Ford, whom be trusted so fully that
he removed his pistol belt and turned
his back to him, only to receive his
death wound. 'Frank James had said:
“Trust no one when the price on
your head is enough to make a man
rich.”
He is willing to become a watchdog
and guard bullion for a living provid-
ed the men who wish to employ him
will agree to his terms.
“I’ll take the job,” he told them,
“and any one .who gets the money
from any car I’m riding on will get it
over my dead body. But I’ve been
supporting my family and little more,
and if I go under I want to be sure
that they’ll be provided for.
“Now, I’ll tell you what I’ll do.
You sign an agreement by which they
are to get $20,000 in case I’m killed,
and I’m your man. I know enough
about some of them to be sure that
they can still shoot a little, even if
the business isn’t what it used to be.”
So the man whose name was once
feared throughout several states is
now waiting to see if the expressmen
will pay $20,000 against his stake,
indeed, if the former desperado, the
brains of the most bloodthirsty set of
outlaws this country has knOWn,
stands on the side of the law against
men who regard him and his brother
as patterns to be followed.

‘ tions forIts Suppression.
The New York State Board of Health
has tested a circular from which we
exuact: . .
The disease known as tuberculosis-
and, when affecting the lungs. as pair
monary tuberculosis or consumption.
is very common in human beings and
in certain domestic animals, especially
cattle. More than one—seventh of all
deaths occurring in human beings
throughout the civilized world is.
caused by tuberculosis, and—"it; is esti~
mated that more than one-fourth of all
deaths occurring during adult life is
due to it, and that nearly one-half of
, the entire population at some time in
life acquire it. It attacks people in all
conditions of life, of all ages and not»
The disease is essentially
the same in animals and in man, and
has the same cause. Among herds of
high bred cattle not infrequently more
than fifty per cent are found to be
suffering from this disease.
Tuberculosis may affect any organ
of the body, but most frequently tinse—
attacks the lungs. ‘thn the living
germs find their way into the body, if
favorable conditions for their growth
exist, they multiply wherever they
may lodge and produce small new
growths, or nodules (tubercles), which
tend to soften. In animals, in ad-
dition to the tubercles, large. white
hard 11133308 or soft cheesy material
containing: gritty particles may be pro-
duced. The discharges from the sof£~
cued tulzcrclcs or tubercular masses.
containing the living germs in enor-
niOUs numbers are thrown off from the
body in various ways. thcn once the
disease becomes established, it as a
rule extends. and tho tubercle bacilli
multiply and produce a poison which is
absorbed by the body. The poison
causes fever attended with wasting
and great focbleness, and ultimately
the disease ends in death. On the
other hand. recovery from the dis-
ease may occur. or it may exist for
long periods of time, and in cattle
often extends widelynnd produces
grave changes in the body without
rendering the victim apparently very
sick or attesting its milk producing
powers. Cattle may be seriously af-
fected with tuberculosis and yet not
cough, out well. be fat and appear
healthy, and the most careful physical
examination by a skilled veterinarian
may fail to reveal the presence and
nature of the malady.
The germs which are thrown off in
the discharges from diseased portions
of the body do not grow outside the
living human or animal body, except
under artificial conditions, although
they may retain their vitality and vir-
ulence for long periods of time, even
when thoroughly dried. As it has
been» definitely proven that tubercu-
losis can only result from the recep~
tion of these germ-s into the body and
their multiplication there, it follows
from what has just been said that
when the .disease is acquired it musr
be through the reception into the body
of the living germs that have come
more or less directly from some other
human being or animal affected with
the disease. In man, these germs are
cast off in enormous numbers in the
expectoration and in the evacuations
from the bowels. In cattle, also.
whether there be cough or not, the
slobber or spittle or discharge from
the nose and the discharges from the
bowels contain these germs when the
lungs or the intestines are diseased.
These discharges fall upon the ground
or mangers or floors or fences,and are
often either licked up by other ani—
mals or taken with their food, or dry
and become pulverized and are then
breathed into the lungs in the form of
dust. As the disease is communicable
it will be readily seen that the pres-
ence of one tubercular animal in a
herd may ultimately cause the disease
in many others with which it comes
in contact.
It has also been fully established
that the milk of
tuberculous, whether the udder is af—
fected or not,'may contain these living
and virulent tubercle bacilli, and that
the milk from such a tuberculous
cow, no matter how healthy the ani-
mal may appear, may cause the (lis-
ease in human beings who use it. It
makes no difference how far such milk
may be carried or how much it may be
mixed with milk from healthy cows, it
is always dangerous and its distribu-
tion for human consumption, if done
lzrou'inwly, is criminal. Among stall-
t‘ed dairy cows, from five to fifty per
cent are sometimes found to be af-
fected wih the disease. Tuberculous
animals are also frequently killed for
food.’ Their flesh sometimes contains
the germs, and if not thorour'. r
cooked is capable of transmitting the
disease. Boiling the milk and ther-
oughly cooking the meat destroys the
germs. In cattle, the only efficient
means to prevent its extension to
other
human beings is by the prompt de-
struction of all diseased animals.
If the payment by the State for the
tuberculous cattle destroyed be as-
sured, as it can be by an act of the
Legislature appropriating a suitable
amount for this purpose, a way will
be open for the gradual extinction of
bovine tuberculosis.
This matter is brought to the atten-
tion of farmers and dairymen and
cattle owners in the hope that they will
cooperate in the attempt to free this
State from a dangerous and costly
pest, and thus promote their own pri-
vate welfare, as wellas the interest
of the public health.
