THE GASTONIA DAILY GAZETTE mr-ty vhit XX SURE CURES 4i( LD JINGLESON says he can care any disease by drinking hot water," announced the bald board er. "He has had every disease that a officially recognized by the Royal College of Physicians and Surgeons and has banished them all by that simple means. "Anything be comes a curative agent If a man be lieves in it hard enough," said the star boarder. "Jasper Jones says he was tor mented with rheu matism for ten years, and tried everything of which we read In the almanacs, and nothing did him any good until he got a horse chestnut and carried it around In his pocket. Then the rheumatism disappeared, and hasn't played a re turn engagement since. I have talked with Jasper often, trying to point out the folly of his claim, but he refuses to yield an Inch. 'I used to have all kinds of rheumatics before I got that horse chestnut,' he says, 'and now I haven't a single one. Who would ask better proof than that? "And echo answers who, my dear Mrs. Jiggers. It may be that a horse chestnut In the hip pocket Is a specific for rheumatism. It Isn't safe to de nounce any theory as a false alarm. "Ira Grlfway used to be always groaning about his diseases, until It became unpleasant to meet him. He couldn't talk about anything else. He Ignored the crops and regarded the weather with contempt, and devoted all his great energy and talents to a discussion of the things that were hurting him. Then all of a sudden he began boasting of how hale and hearty he was. He explained that the road to health was absurdly easy, and there was no excuse for sickness any where. All a man had to do, he said, was to get up early In the morning, before sunrise, and draw In a hundred long breaths of the crisp morning air. " "He made the discovery himself, and It was more important than any mod ern Invention. His sincerity is shown by the fact that there was no possible graft connected with It. A man can't sell the morning atmosphere at so much per breath. Ira's great discov ery was free to everybody. If I were going to invent a cure for anything rd compound something that could be put up in bottles and sold at a dollar throw. The man who Invents a fresh air cure la running benevolence Into the ground. "His cure was so cheap that I de cided to try it, as I was suffering from a broken heart and a sluggish liver at that, period. I set ray alarm dock for an hour before sunrise, and got up in the pale, bleak dawn, and put my head out of the window to In hale the prescribed hundred breaths. I had reached the twenty-seventh breath when a dissipated bee or wasp, on its way home from a night of rev elry, stung me on the nose, and I was In such haste to put a porous plas ter on that organ that I didn't finish the treatment, and never tried It again. "But I knew many people who claimed they were cured of everything from the mumps, hoof and mouth dis ease, by the hundred-brentlis treat ment "There was a spring on my father's farm, and I doped It with sulphuric acid and a few other wholesome in gredients, and then began selling the water to the afflicted for ten cents a Jug. Some marvelous cures were ef fected. Men hobbled there- on crutches to buy the healing fluid, and when they left they threw thcfr crutches awny. "For a brief session I had more small change than any boy In the county, but my father returned home from a visit, and when he found out what I had been doing, he Inter viewed mo with a hickory pole, and foi a year or two I was busy paying back the money I had collected from suf ferers. The people who had been healed suffered a relapse as soon as they heard the water was faked; which goes to show, Mrs. Jiggers, that we are entitled to a better quality ol butter on this tal.le." Way of Escape. FMtbush "That's a funny thin; bout a bowlegged man. Bensonhurst What's that? "Why, when he meets a mad dog ii narrow alley he's more bow-leggec than ever." Just Like the Old Home. Mr. Scraplelgli Can you give mj daughter a home such as she has beet accustomed to? The Suitor Well, I've got a bull ter rler and a fighting cat and a parro and If that won't do It I know when I can get a chimpanzee. The Dear Girls. Dora Did you see the way that mat smiled at me?

PARADISE FOR THE INDOLENT tress of Modern Life Unknowa Among the Inhabitants of the Marquesas Islands. Persons possessing $1,000 who like the indolent life of the tropics where winter is unknown can spend the re mainder of their Lives In the Marque sas Islands in the Pacific ocean, where they need only work two hours a day to catch fish and pick bananas and spend the remainder of the day watch ing the skyblue sea wash lazily over the golden sands. The money would be required to pay a second-class passage from one of the Pacific coast ports, with outfit, and the balance to purchase fertile land at $2 an acre. The Marquesas are situated In 8 to 11 south latitude and 140 west longitude and are of volcanic origin and moun talnous. They are under the French re public and the commissioner lives at Talohai, the chief town, which Is on the Island of Nukawa. There were 4.800 inhabitants In the Islands when the census was taken In 1900, but the natives, who are Christians, have dwindled away since then. There are 8,800 square miles In the thirteen Is lands, which compose the Marquesas group. The chief products are tropical fruit, copra and mother of pearl. The landing Is difficult, as the shore goes up like a wall from the sea. Passengers arriving from the Pacific say that the climate of the Marquesas Is Ideal and that life there Is one long day dream, with no disturbing element beyond the silver-tongued notes of the bulbul at sunset from Its lofty perch on the ancient baobabs by the sea shore. New York Times. RELIC OF MEDIEVAL TIMES Sacred City of Mongolia Has But Thin Veneer of the Civiliza tion of Today. Crga, sacred city of the Living Rud dha, lying far to the north of Mon golia, Is a relic of medieval times over laid with a veneer of twentieth- cen tury civilization, and Is a city of vio lent contrasts and glaring anachron isms. It was used as a base ot sup plies by Roy Chapman Andrews, lead er of the second Asiatic zoological ex pedition of the American Museum of Natural History. Motor cars pass camel caravans fresh from the Gobi desert; holy la mas In bright robes walk side by side with black-gowned priests and swarthy Mongol women in the fantastic head dress of their race stare wonderingly at the latest fashions of their Rus sian sisters, relates a correspondent of the Detroit News. Three great races have met In Drga, and each carries on Its Own customs and way of llfe. 'i.ne Mongol's reit-coverea nome aay.( remained unchanged ; the Chinese shopJT with its wooden counter and blue gowned Inmates Is still pure Chinese, and the ornate cottages proclaim themselves to be Russian. Men from all races and corners of the earth gamble together. All Mon golia lives on horseback, and a Mongol will never walk even a hundred yards if he can help it Summer in Mon golia Is short at best, and in the win ter the temperature drops to 60 and 60 degrees below zero, and the great plateau Is swept by biting winds from the Siberian steppes. Leaders Must Pay Pries. There's satisfaction In being able to do hard things. Weaklings have to be exceptionally insignificant If they can't do something. Then there Is a large class that can do many things Indiffer ently. Those who can curry big loads and curry them well are few. To be In this select class appeals to most folks, but only the few really deserve place In It. And they do not land there without effort. Such honors are mat ters of growth. Time and toil are the price paid for the advance. Beginning with what comes-easy the worthy ones become experts nui then add to their sphere of achieving sii 'Ii things ns na tnrally fall In line with their endeav or. Then they grow without being really conscious of added strength. That comes as a glad surprise when some oue calls attention to It Asparagus Has a Pedigree. Asparagus was cultivated In Rome 200 years B. C, and i'liny, in his "His tory Naturalls," mentions that near Ravenna there grew u kind of which three heads weighed a pound. Aspar agus flourished also In Greece. It Is a native of several places uear the sea In Britain. At Kynanci- cove, In Cornwall, a rocky Island Is called "As paragus island." because at one time the plant was cultivated there. In an cient duys all sprouts of young vege tables were called asparagus; and In comparatively modern times the arti choke, cardoon, seakale and alisander were included. Nowadays only the one Is so called. Most probably all are wild sea-coast plants, and culti vated asparagus of an unpalatable or der may still be found on British shores. Korean Women Nameless. The Korean woman has not even a name. In childhood she receives a nickname, by which she Is known In the family and by her friends, but, when she arrives at maturity, it is employed only by "the sister of" or "the daugh ter of" such a person. After her marriage her name Is bur led; she Is absolutely nameless. If it happens that a woman has to appear in a law rourt the Judge gives her a peciul name for use while the case lasts, in order to save time and to simplify matters. "' KNOW - MONEY BY PICTURES Hew. These . Who Handle Many Bills Find It Comparatively Easy to Tell Bad Ones. ' ft Is a comparatively easy matter to become an expert In the quick han dling of money and also to detect bills that have been raised, according to those who have tried. A large pro portion of the bills now In circulation are federal reserve notes. Those In common use have Identification char acteristics. In addition to the numer als, easy to memorize. Cashiers who handle large and small bills rapidly usually memorize the por trait on the bills, which are large enough to be unmistakable s the ma jor mark of Identification, with the numerals as the minor aid. The two combined are well-nigh Infallible, save In the case of clever counterfeits. As the raising of bills Is accomplish ed with the numerals, familiarity with the portraits, and comparison, will ver ify the proper denomination of the bills. The portralrs on the federal reserve bills in everyday use are as follows : One-dollar notes, portrait of George Washington. Two-dollar notes, portrait of Thomas Jefferson. Five-dollar notes, portrait of Abra ham Lincoln. Ten-dollar notes, portrait of Andrew Jackson. Twenty-dollar notes, portrait of Gro- ver Cleveland. Fifty-dollar notes, portrait of U. 8. Grant. Hundred-dollar notes, portrait of Benjamin Franklin. HAD HAZY IDEA OF FINANCE Queer Notion Held by Old Wash White Common to Many Inves tors, According to Lawyer. At a dinner in New York the other day a prominent lawyer noted for his activities In rounding up invest ment swindlers told the following good story: "It's pitiful to see how foolish a great many people are when It comes to a question of finance. Old Wash White Is a good exam ple of financial foolishness. When Wash's boss got back to the Delta from the North one day, he found the old man driving a fine young mule hitched to a handsome wagon. "Now, Wash was a notoriously shiftless customer, and so his boss said to him: '"Where did you get that splendid turnout, Washington T "'Ah done boughten it at Magnolia, sah,' said Wash. "'now much did it cost you T" "'Ah done give mah note fo' $200 or it, sah.' 14 'Good gracious,' said the boss, 'where do you expect to get $200 to meet your note when It falls due?" "Wash looked astonished and of fended. " 'Fo' de Lawd's sake, boss man,' he said, 'you sho'ly don' expeck me ter give mah note an' pay, too?" Wasn't Addressing Tramp. On her way downtown the other morning the woman stopped to see a sick friend, who lives on the first floor of a remodeled private house with a bedroom overlooking a nice old-fashioned back yard. The window was open and suddenly a loud voice broke the calm of the sick-room. "You dirty bum. that's what you are," said the voice. "Of course you'll be comin' home now fop your break fast and look at you, covered with dirt. It's a bum you are and not a drop of blue blood in you. Quit your whlnin,' you hungry stayout. Me look In' and waitln' for you last night and worrying about you : And now I sup pose you want to sleep nil day and rest up for another night. You're just like the rest of your kind. It's a bum you are and nothin' else." The woman leaned out of the open window that she might see the wreck of humanity the tirade had visualized. And there was the comfortably built. Immaculately clean janitress letting in her prize winning Angora cat. Dough boy liiil come home for breakfast New York 8un. Japan's Sulphur Baths. At the foot of the volcano Asamaya ma in Japan there is a combination of hot suphiir and cold mineral springs. The' hathlng house consists of three or four substantial wooden bathing tanks, Into which the hot water flows, and a wooden platform running around the room with cupboards and shelves where the people dress. Beams laid across the bathing tanks divide them into little squares, a square for each person. The duration of the time bath is regulated with great precision by the head attendant, and during the bath from 150 to 200 half litre scoops of hot sulphur water are poured over the head of the bather. Emergency Call. "We've get lizards in our basement, and I Just killed a snake in the front yard. Can't you send some one out right away to kill them V walled a voice over the telephone to William F. Cleary, clerk of the board of public works. It was a womea's voice, or Mr. Cleary would have sent .a request to the board of public safety that one of the morals squads be sent out with suggestion thnt they might find what ever It was that made people "see snakes" However, be asked the board to send out an ordinary policeman to kill the reptiles.
