Mr. Depew‘s reputation as a good story-teller is so well known that it is unnecessary to comment upon it. Prob- ably one of the best stories with which he delights his audiences is the one involving the qiiestiof. of supply and .iemand, and the regulating of prices solely by these two factors. In dis- pute of this Mr. Depew says that one day he was walking along a street and ' passed :1 German butcher-shop. Out of curiosity he entered the place and inquired the price of sausages. "Dwenty cents a bount,” replied the huh-her. "But," said Mr. Depew, “it seems to me I saw your sign this morning, and it read ‘Fresh Sausages. 25 cents a pound.’ Why did you reduce your price?” * "0h, dot was all right. I don’t got none now und I can’t sell any. Dot .nakes me a reputation for selling sheap. und I don’t lose noddings.” According to this, as Mr. Depew says, “There was no demand, as I did- n’t want any, and there was no sup- ply, as the butch-er hadn’t any, and yet ~ the price of sausages went down.” _———'1_‘_‘.fi— The Beacon Pia}, ed the Wrong (Yard. The passengers on a Chester trolley ' car were very much amused by a con- versation between two colored men, one of whom was a deacon in a down- town church. He introduced the sub- iect of a new fence around a grave- yard, and asked his companion, who find more worldly inclinations, for a contribution for that purpose. His re- ply was: “What yo’ want a fence, Iround dat graveyahd fo’? Live pus- sons doan’ want to get in, and I’m [leg-gone sure de'dead ones ain’t a- gwi-ae to try an’ git out. I ain’t got no money for graveyahd fences.” And 'he argument was clinch-2d right there. ~Phiiadelphla Record. , a— -—-'.y——-—-._—‘\ [Stock and Mutual Management , I. Bran re ’8 ‘ Pills The difference between these pills and all other medicines is told in the following statement of facts: Ist. They have been in active demand in the markets of the world sinCe I770, or for nearly one hundred and thirty years. - 2d. They are purely vegetable, and are made of the purest and highest class drugs obtainable. - 3d.‘ They are kept for two years in our storehouses after being made, and no pills are sold until they are TWO YEARS old. This allows them to‘ become thoroughly mellowed and makes of them the very best and safest cathartic medicine that it is possible to procure. ' 4th. They never become inured to the system; that is, the same dose will always produce the same efl'ect. This cannot truthfully be said of any other medicine. There are others who claim it, but . demonstrations show it to be true only of BRANDRETH'S PILLS. 5th. They never produce griping or pain unless the stomach is in a very acid condition, and then only if the dose is a large one. In doses of one or two pills they never cause pain or other inconvenience. 6th. One pill taken after a heavy meal will relieve distress immediately. 7th. BRANDRETH’S PILLS are composed'bne-third of the best extract of sarsa— ‘ parilla that can be made.~ It is highly concentrated and it makes of these pills the best blood purifiers that you can get, one 25-cent box con- taining more of' the active blood-purifying principle of sarsaparilla than a dollar's worth of any liquid preparation in the market. 8th. One or two, taken every night, will cure rheumatism in almost every instance; 9th. They are a pOSItive and effective remedy for constipation and for all the long list of ills that follow in its wake—such as dyspepsia, dizziness, drowsiness, coated tongue, foul breath, headache, pain in the stomach, etc. Take one or two pills every night—one is usually enough—and be certain that a cure will follow. They are the best complexion pills. “After you have taken them for a few nights, your skin will assume a wholesome, healthful color, 'your eye a brilliant lustre, and sallowness and pimples will disappear. BRANDRETH’S PILLS NEVER injure—you are always in better health after taking a' dose—they are the safest medicine to give children and women in delicate health. One pill is usually sufficient. No medicine is made with such infinite care as BRANDRETH’S PILLS -——no medicine but BRANDRETH’S PILLS is kept for TWO YEARS before theyare boxed to be sold. Except in sudden and acute sickness, when the dose should be from four to eight pills. the best results are obtained by taking one or two pills every night for a week or two. They act on the liver and leave that organ in a perfectly healthy state, and when your liver is right your blood is pure, and you are well. Don’t bully your liver with powerful medicine, but coax it with BRANDRETH'S PILLS. BRANDRETH’S PILLS are sold throughout the world, with and without sugar coating. They never fail to do their work. xoth. nth. Izth. 1 3th. 14th. ‘ DIAMOND FRAME iiiiiiT Tiiiiiii, - iii .. COMBINATION .,;~- - "BIANT TANIlIIM j . $7 SECOND-HAND WHEELS ATIl BARGAIN.

MUTUAL. ’IIIE FUTURE of a life insurance company can, and prop- erly should, be judged by its success in the past. No life insurance institution can be continuously suc. cessful unless the management makes the earning quality, as well as the safety of .the investments, the first consideration when selecting securities. THE- ETNA LIFE’S , Success in these particularshas been unparalleled. Not only have the investments been of the best character, but their interest earning qualities have been a great factor in producing the well-known success Cf the Company.
