Jenks had a queer dream the other night.
He thought be saw a prize-fighters' ring and
in the middle of it stood a doughty little
champion who met and deliberately knocked
over, one by one, a score or more of big
burly -looking fellows, as they advanced to
the attack. Giants as they were in size, the
valiant pigmy proved more than a match for
them. It was all so funny that Jenks woke
up laughing. He accounts for the dream by
the fact that be bad just come to the conclu-
sion, after trying nearly every trig drastic
pill on the market, that Pierce's Pleasant
Purgative Pellets. or tiny Sugar-coated
Granules, easily " knock out " and heat all
the big pills hollow 1 They are the original

A bulletin dealing with frauds on in her markets, has nofoUndati)n
farmers in Ontario has been issued ,by iu tact. \.I British statesman of
the Ontario department of agriculture.
It is based upon information supplied any ,,,,te would bare to advocate
by 3.20 regular correspondents of the �u ,h a rchcme, for he knows W.V..
bureau. The answers received lead to
the conclusion that while the rural pop- Wetly well that it would he re-
ulation is still reckoned good prey by _
unscrupulous fellows the farmers are ceived with derision hy, the pco-
becoming well informed regarding the ]tt, I't•otection in to fw nl is
operations of these (swindlers, though 1 ' any
the knowledge has generally been bought 11,,t popular with the people of
j by bitter experience. There seems,
, however, to have been a marked falling
! off in the number of frauds on farmers
during the past two years. Neverthe•
less, a ss stem of deception and roguery
. has been brought to light which it is the
purpose of the bulletin briefly to dos•
tribe.
The ltumpc fraud, for instance, is
worked by a travelling agent persuading
1 a farmer to become a luted anent, offer-
ing as an inducement to give hint one
pump free. The farmer signs what he
believes to be an agreement on these
terms, which afterwards turns out to be
a promissory tote. Another fraud is
inducing a number of farmers to sign a
joint note for a patent roller. The note
is discounted but the Machine never
turns up. Pianos and organs have betel
fully paid for in cash by farmer., w11;t
then signed what they fancied, was as
acknowledgment of the receipt of the
instrument, but which afterwards was
fotmel-to-be-alien-onetha article wail . .
-seeend--payment was made. Ohl sew:..
ins machines polished up have been
sold as new, and various tricks'practised
by repairers of machinery. Shoddy
peddlers claiming to represent business
houses who are anxious to deal directly
with the purchasers are reported all
over. The goods are of the poorest tex-
ture and often will not stand sewingto-
gether. -
'rug GREEN OOJDS SCHEME
has been worked for all that it is worth
and any maxi who is rogue enough to
try and purchase counterfeit money gets
• deservedly_ i6amized..,.. One for= Obi.
promissory note trick is to talk the
farmer into becoming an agent for
washing machines, sickle g,h•inders, etc.,
and then induce hint to sign an agree-
ment in triplicate, one of which always
turns out to be a promissory note. It
is difficult to procure copies of deceptive
contracts, as the victims in many cases
are ashamed to show them, and the
swindlers are too shrewd to permit cop-
ies of the forms to get into other 'hands
than those intended. Some of the doc-
uments, however, are most ingeniously
arranged, a conditional order or even a
receipt for storage being easily trans-
formed into a negotiable note. An im-
prudent fraud was perpetrated by a Glee.
ical looking man, accompanied by a
young couple who desired to be -married
in a farmer's house, as they said they
had taken a whimsical notion to that
effect. After the marriage the bride-
. grcom pressed 540 upon the farmer,
l taking his receipt for the amount which

• 5400. A number of other sim-
ilar frauds are reported -tending to show
that of late a heavier loss has been sus-
tained in the eastern than in the west-
ern counties. As a remedial measure
it has been suggested that in, every
county agents be required to obtain a
permit or license, to be issued at the di-
rection of the inspector of licenses, "or"
some duly authorizes individual, after
proving that their business is of'a bona
ticde character; a0 that .such license
shall be shown to any ratepayer on de-
mand ; failing to do this that.they may
be summarily dealt with.
GREATER PCBLICITY BY TILE PRESS
appeals perhaps to be the Most conyen-
ieut means that could be taken at the
present time without special legislation,
the only, steps that have been taken be-
sides exposure in the press appear to
have been by the distribution of hand
bills and posters. These latter suggest
that the farmer should stick to his legi•
timate employment and not be in a
hurry to get rich. They advise him to
deal with none but well•established
firms and properly authorized agents;
to never sign anything for a stranger
and in all cases to read carefully before
signing ; to read the newspapers and
pay for them, and lastly to attend the
Farmers' Institute. The bulletin next
touches on
NOTES GIVEN FOR PATEN•, ttIOHTS
and says that the act provides that any
person who knowingly issues, sells or
transfers by endorsement or delivery
any such bill of exchange or promissory
note not having the words "given for a
patent right" printed or written across
its face is guilty of a misdemeanor and
liable to imprisonment. When Mr
Muldock introduced the bill in the
House in lk84, he said that for a long
time frauds have been perpetrated in
the rural districts, in connection with
patent rights, whereby many irmocent
and trusting people have been losers.
The patent laws were ever intended to
provide an instrument by which fraud
might be perpetrated ; but the -patents
themselves, although in many cases
most useful, open the way to fraud and.
often they have no practical value,. but
are only useful in the hands of design•
ing agents. Artful men are able, fre-
quently, by the use of cunning argu-
ments, to make use of the rights they
have acquired from the department to
receive valuable securities from people
not sufficiently skilled in law or in fact
to determine whether these patents
have in themselves any legal or practi•
cal value. The bulletin then gives 'a
summary of two cases recently tried in
the courts in which the rights of parties
have been deterrnined. In one case a
farmer was induced to purchase thirty
bushels of oats, at 515 per bushel, for
which he gave his note, and signed a
document attested by all parties, set•
1 ting forth that the company agreed to
sell to responsible parties, within one
year from date, the proceeds of the de-
fendant's crop when harvested, to the
amount of CO bushels, • and to pay the
defendant at the rate of $15 per bushel
(or I000) for which he agreed to take
his pay in notes. The farmer sowed 30
bushels of oats, and realized IAO bushels
but the other party failed to sell the GO
bushels, and negotiated the note which
the farmer was subsequently obliged to
pay,together with the interest and costs
of a law suit.
Hundreds of instances of1fraud are
reported by correspondents of which
the following is a fair sample of the
whole : — William Doyle, Osgoode,
Carleton ; Among others we have had
the linen fraud, a wonderful talker who
was selling tine linens for lees than
half price. Ho said in no case did his
firm allow him to take money, and
ordere for two or three dollars worth
turned out to be for so many hundred.

that his policy was to •restore the

the same period of time. We feel con-
fident that our patrons will appreciate
the work and lie glad to avlti+P1 themselves

paper in sending for the " Treatise."

Man wants but little here below,
But wants that little strong.
This is especially true of a
purge. The average man or
woman does not precisely hanker
for it, as a rule, but when taken,
wishes it to bo prompt, sure and
effective. Dr. Pierce's Pleasant
Purgative Pellets leave nothing
to be desired in point of efficacy,
and yet their action is totally free
from any unpleasant symptoms,
or disagreeable after-effects.
Purely vegetable, perfectly harm-
less.
New York World:—The opinion
.has been .expressed that before
many years the horse will have
become an extinct' species of
animal. The Offeet of the Walker
street car motor lawn will probab•
ly be to strengthen what little
belief there may bern this Ino
phesy. Stearal has already done
much to supplant the horse as the
e ei-vant of man and 'is on the road
to.doing much more in that direc-
tion: Electricity is also being
made a substitute 111 500113 re-
spects. Should all the street car
lines in the city under the opera-
tions of the new law gradually
dispense with the use of horses it
would diminish the number of those
animals here by more than fifty
per cent. The day of road wag-
gon, di iven by stored power is
not far off in all probability, and
even on farms. steam has begun
to replace horse power.
