anan's stomach is weak and his digestion
is impaired, the life-giving elements of the
food he takes are not assimilated into the
blood. The blood gets thin and weak, and
the body slowlystarves. III the meantime
the disordered liver and the sluggish bow-
els have forced into the blood all inaneer
of impurities. The body is hungry and
eagerly consumes anything that the blood-
stream carries to it. In place of healthy
nutriment, it receives for food foul poisons
that should have been excreted by the
bowels. Continued, this system of starva-

weakest organ will give way first. If a

STRANGER THAN FICTION.
HOW IIONEST MEN ARE TRICKED BY ROGUES.
We published last week an item in the
Perth notes mentioning the fact that Mr.
John D. Moore, the well-known egg dealer
of St. Marys, had been swindled out - of
$9,000 by a couple of brick sharps, at
Sarnia. The Sarnia Observer gives the fol-
lowing detailed account of the affair. It
says e
Mr. Moine was called upon at ,St. Marys
by a man;who gave his name as David
Brown. Brown was aged about 46 years,
had a short beard ; wore a dark overcoat
and a grey flannel shirt and was short and
stout and very bald.
Mr, Brown fetid he bad come to St. Marys
to see a, man by the name of J. D. Moore,
and explained to Mr. Moore that he had
been directed to come to him. He further
explained to Mr. Moore that he and his
partner, who was a Mexican, had a gold
mine in Arizona, and that there was some
doubt about their being able to get papers
out idr the mine as a man named J.D.M.00re
had a claim against the property. Mr.
Moore denied all knowledge of the mine
property in Arizona and convinced the
stranger that he had no claim on any gold
mine.
' The professed miner expressed his sorrow
at having travelled so far, all the way trom
Arizona, to find that Mr. Moore was the
wrong gentleman, and finally wound
up .by asking him if he would
not go into the deal and take the
place of hia namesake who had a claim on
the mine property. He further explained
to Mr. Moore that neither he nor Orio
Dongolas, his Mexican partner,could neither
read or write, and as a result of this de-
ficiency in theft; education they had been
swindled by sharpers on two or three oc-
casions. , He claimed to have heard much of
Mr. Moore and he could trust hiin, and if
he woad agree ta go into the deal they
would give him a one-third interest in the
mine, and also a share ofathe gold that they
had already taken out of iti. Brown
said that his Mexican pai tner was
at Sarnia, and he proposed a trip
to that town to see the EMT! plea
of gtild brioks that he had in his possession.
He told Moore that he need not brier; any
money with him as there was no money ree
quired and he could not lose anything by
the trip to the tunnel town.
loore agreed to take the trip to Bernie
and accordingly set out for that town, ac-
companied by Brown. Upon arrival there
Taesday, both Moore and Brown put up at
the Belchamber House, where Moore regis-
tered his own name and also pertormed a
like service. for Brown, beeause tha latter
could not write.
-After a abort conversation, Brown ex-
plained to Moore that because his partner
was ceMexican he was not used to stopping
at hotels or boarding houses and preferred
to live out of doors. Lately he had taken
an aversion to being in other men's com-
pany, especially when he had eo much valu-
able property in his possession as the gold
bricks he now had with him. His doubt
of all men had a firmer hold o him now
than ever before, because he had been
swindled by a couple of sharpers and had
lost a lot o gold. For this re on Orio
Dongolas, th Mexican, was stop mg in a
thicket on the Indian reserve, whe -6 he had
the gold samples with him. A rig was pro-
cured and Brown drove Moore dow on the
reserve, about two miles from tow, where
they stopped, and, true to - the at ry, the
Mexican appeared. He was a man f about
seventy years of age and was attiretie true
Mexican style, having long hair engin
down his shoulders. Upon being re ueste
to do ao, he pa sed over two large br cks of
I
supposed gold, rapped up in oil clot
Brown and Maori] examined the
and it was finally agreed to bring th m up
town and have them assayed to see what
they were worth. After endeavori g to
have the bricks assayed in the jewelry totes
withouV avail, Mr. Moore agreed to r turn
to the hotel and see a supposed IT ited
States government essayist, whose iame
was given as J. C. Giffin. Moore and
Brown stated their business, but Mr. Giffin
was very curt and refused to have anyt ing
to do with the work. He said he w s a
Government aesayist and did not profess to
do any private work whatever. Afte a
time, however, when it was explained to
him that they could not get an assay nea er
than Tpronto, he finally agreed to make 4he
test for a fee of $3. The money was paid
over, aed incidentally before the test Was ,
made, Giffin produced his papers and c r-
tifieettes signed, sealed, etc., by the auth r-
ities at Washington, as a proof that he w s
a genuine government essayist for t e
United States of America.
Mr. Moore was perfectly satiefied and the
teat was made with theresult that Giffi
pronounced the metal to be the purest gold
24 carat fine. ‘
Brovin then proposed that Moore pay hi
and his Mexican partner $9,000 for an in-
terest in the gold mine, and that he take
the two gold bricks as security for the
money.' Mr. Moore considered this a ,the
proposition, but before the details were
agreed upon it was arranged that Brown
and the Mexican were to meet Moore at St.
'Marys next week, when they would bring
the rest of the gold bricks that they got
'out of the Arizona mine'and together with
Mr. Moore would go to Washington, where
they would sell the gold and receive gov-
ernment specie for the same.

Bank and drew therefrom 119,000

The next move was to return to

At this stage of the proceed ngs Mr.
Moore became somewhat suspiciou and re-
fused bidellvet up his coin. Whereupon
Brown suggested drilling the bricks and
having the metals tested. This' was done
and the drillings were pronounced by two
jewelers to be genuine. This done the
Mexican again came forth from his hiding
place, and in exohange for the twe bricks
received $9,000 in cash from Mr.', Moore.
The suppoeed gold bricks each weighabout
forty-two pounds, and were very carefully
wrapped with oil cloth and paper When they
were given to Mr. Moore and placed in his
satchel. •
After the deal had been completed, Mr.
Mqor� wanted his new tound friends to ac-
ooflipsny him to the tunnel station and see
h off on the train for his home, but they
fa led to put in an appearance.
After waiting for some time for hie
riends," kir. Moore became anaptcious,
and telephoned to the Belohamber hotel and
asked the clerk to detain Brown ,untia he
arrived. In the meantime Mr. Afoore se-
cured theaervicee of Detective Yorrell, and
the two went fa" the hotel, but Brown had
not put in an appearance since the deal was
transacted. . It then dawned upon, Mr.
Moore that he had been buncoed, and he
told the whole story to the detective.
The bricks were in the shape of a two by
four scantling itnd are about sevepteen
inches long. They are copper and are
covered with a thin plating of gold. No
doubt the brink drilled by Mr. Moore was
doctored ; at any rate the two he got are
copper and worth about $4.50 each. .

The Stratford Bearson says: A number of
gentlemen were sitting in tbe Windsor
Hotel the other evening when the St. Marys
gold brick case camp up for discussion.
Somebody remarked thathe would be a dull-
witted man who coutd be caught by such a
tt
game when a gentl ' an who lives . in a
neighboring town, said, "Not so, it is gen-
erally keen business men who are the vic-
tims of web sharppraotices." He referred to
the case of the bank manager in Manitoba
who was caught in the same way about a
year ago, and then surprised the company
by asking if they had ever heard of the.
game that was worked in Stratford. They
all replied in the negative and urged him to
tell them about it. -
"Well,' said their friend, "the story
was told me by one of the intended victims,
but I do not feel free to mention his name.
He resides in Guelph, however, and belongs
to a well-to-do family, all of whiMi are

THE GIIELPHITE'S STORY. *
One day in November of 1896 I was stand-
ing in front of my house in Guelph, when a
telt young man, dressed in the garb of a
Westerner, and having the swagger of a
cowboy, come up to the gate and asked me
if I could tell him where Mr. George R
lived. I replied that I wis George R ' .
,The fellow's face immediately showed signs
of disappointment. He said that I was not
tlie man he wanted and he was sorry, as he
had come a great distance to find George
R-, who should be a man of about 55
years of age. He was about to turn away
when I remarked that I:had an uncle of my
name who died a short time before, and
probably he was the man wanted. The
fellow brightened up at this, and said he
possibly might be,but he would tell hia.
story and I could judge myself. He then
sat down and told me how his mother,
whose name was R-, left New York
many years ago and went out to the far
west, where she married. Her husband
died, he being the only child. When he
was old enough to work he went ranching,
while his mother went to live in Mexico
city. While there she became possessed of
a Alert or plan of one of the richest, gold
mines in Mexico. It was in an out-of-the-
way district, and she could not get tp it
herself even if she tried, but anyway she
could not get out of the city as the author-
ities knew of her possession and would not
let her leave. She wrote to her son about
the matter, who was by this time on .the
ranch of an old Mexican. lie interested
the Mexican in the matter and the two in-
duced a civil engineer they ran acmes to
join them in an expedition to find the mine,
ea they were both unable to read or write.
Then followed a long story of how the en-
gineer, after he had got a copy of the plan
made for himself, deserted them leaving
them to their own resources ; liow they
afterwards got his mother out of Mexico
city, and of her leading them to the mine
which they found "rich beyond the dreams
of avarice."
This story was told in the most elaborate
detail' and it impressed me considerably.
My father had a sister go away from New
York when they lived there and she had
never been heard of afterwards. I was sus-
picious, hoNtever,,,isnd asked him wby he
did not stay and work the mine.
"We had," he said, "only a email quan-
tity of provieions, so we duly took what
gold we could carry and decided to come
out and try to get assistance to work the
mine. As we had been deceived by the
engineer, my mother advised us to come to
Canada and see if I could find her relatives.
whom she understood had located there, and
get them to join in working the mine, as
they would be honest. I. started and finally
traced them to Guelph."
This was the substance of the 'cowboy's
story and it so impressed me that I *sent
over for my cousin, Dr. R-, who heard it
over again. Tohe fellow by thia time . had
come to the conclueion that we were his
cousins, and urged us to join him, offering
to give ue one-third interest if, we would go
back with him and give him the benefit of
our education and honesty. Neither he nor
the Mexican could read, he said, but he had
a paper with him that told the story of the
finding of the mine, which he produced. It
was a copy of the San Francisco Examiner, -
and it did tell the same story he had told
us and also contained portraits of himself
and the Mexican.
The story looked so plausible ,we asked

him where the Mexi an and the gold was,
He said they were in Stratford, and if we
would come up he uld sOtisfy us as te

one raw November n n and after having
dinner at the Albion hotel, earning "found"
°own told us that t e Mexican had been so
long accustomed to li e on A ranch- that he
would not live in a hotel, but insisted on
camping out near th town. So we got a
rig from slivery ata In across the way, and
drove out east a con • le of mike from the
city. When et% got a point on the road
where there was a w •d; our companion got
out and went into th busy. Shortly after-
wards he • reappear d with an old 'man
dressed in Mexican garb, and seemingly
very timid. He ap ared to be, afraid of
somebody seeing him and kept dodgibg be-
hind the treas. He carried with him a
bundle wrapped in oilskin, -which was
thrown on the side. Our guide /un-
wrapped the parcel i d disclosed four gold
bricks,*,ighing in 11 about 50 pounds.
To satisfy us that th y were the gennhie
article, he produced brace and bit and
asked us to point to any one we wished
tested. The doctor ointed to one, and the
fellow tbored a hole c ean through it. While
doing so a small chip flew out which fell at
the doctor's feet. Neitiher the Mexican nor
the cowboy seemed to notice it and the doc-
tor picked it up and put it in ,hisi pocket.
We then drove back to the city, at our
companion's request to have them tested.
We went to a leadin jeweler. He !said he
had not the applian es for making an assay,
but told us that a 1 an from, Philadelphia
had called at the et're that itiornieg who
said he was an assa ist on his way to the
gold mines at Mara ore. He was stopping
at tho Albion. W decided to try this
than.
He was found at he hotel all right, a
most gentlemanly lo king and well dressed
man, and on our mi sion being made known,
he expressed regret hat he could not aid as,
as all his appliances had gone with his bag-
gage.to the station. This seemed quite a
disappointment to t e cowboy, and the es-
sayist finally asked to see mar samples.
When he saw the filings, he Oaid, "Oh, I
thought it was qua tz you wanted me to
test. This I can o quite easily. They
apnear to be low grade gold, but will tell
you very soon." He went into his room
and returned shortly afterwards with the
filings,' telling us they were, contrary to his
expect tions, pure golcl, and he would give
us 520 per oz. for a 1 we could send him to
Philadelphia.
Both myself and iihe doctor were by this
time quite eatisfied that the bricks were
genuine gold, but ei e still had a suspicion
that something was wrong. The fellow had
not mentioned mon:y to us up to this time,
only talked about e'ying us the third inter-
est, bait we expect :d some such request and
we were prepared t. go into the deal if we
thought everything was fetraight. The doc-
tor was the more s spicious of the two of
us, and he finally d cided to go down to the
police station to ge *a policeman to go out
after us as a prot ction against foul play.
We therefore made an appointment to see the
cowboy in half an our and went out. We
walked down to th city hall but found the
chief of police was cut, and after waiting
some time for bilk!. turn, went back to the
hotel, decided ' o it alone. When we
got there we foud that the birds had
flown. The cow,b y and the aeso.yist, who
was, of course, an ocomplice, had taken the
rig and driven eas
We returned to -Itielph and had the fil-
ings and the little chip tested. They were
pronounced the p rest of gold. We there-
fore concluded tha there must have been
four bricks oftbatj kind of metal somewhere
in the woods eas of Stratford, and we
made a trip in sea oh of them. We , found
them wrapped up in a lot of blankets;which
the Mexican had 'sed for a sort of tent to
sleep in. His cal had evidently been so
urgent that he le t without taking them

highly elated. I deed, we were so excited
that in piling thee into the Hg one struck

day that thobtic a were 'pure brass. Ta lk

as you would fin -anywhere, We thought
wewere smart e ough to detect disception,

which was pure oil. We then eet about
solving the dece 'Hon. We concluded that
the Chip was flip s :d otit' of the cowboy's
hand just to dec ive us. The 'borings were
brass, but were e changed by the aseayist,
when making th r test, for genuine gold fil-
ings. The ream" why they skipped was
they thought we were on to their scheme
and had gone to uotify the poline. It was
that little preca tion that saved us a few
thousand dollar:. But we got enough of
filings to pay ou expenses.
"Now, that
I
i a perfectly true story,"
said the man in he Windsor hotel, "and
the bricks are i Guelph; but probably you
won't get the o ners to acknowledge the
corn by showin them to you. ,They are
none too proud f the sagacity they showed
in the case."
It will be notM that the story is much
the same as tha told of the- Ste Marys op-
erators, and th y possibly inay have been
the same gang. ,
Girls' Clubhouse.
There is to be: a new clubhouse for girls in
Avenue Bard batten, A five -story building
has been bough and is tole fitted at once.
There are in t e district 25,000 girls who
support thorns Ives, and a few of them have
worthlees pare ta on their hands. These
girls have no pace to which they can resort
except the tezjiment, the cheap theaters,
the saloons and the streets. They are sup-
posed to slay sit home if they are virtuous
and to abstain from exercise and -air, as
well as from recreation and instruction,
since these bit er cost money end they have
no money to a are. Christadora House, as
the new reser is called, is to have rooms
where they m y gossip, play, read, sing,and
possibly eat. .11 it is to be like other houses
of its kind tilt girls will be allowed to dance
and have little parties. If not, the enter.
prise might as well be given up. The at-
tempt to convert suchplaces into mission
schools *0 which the visitors will be under
the constent direction and interference of
well-rneaning,..but not inconsiderate, clergy-
men is a warrant of failure. There are
'ahurohes aplenty, and each girl will go to
that whose creed she believes iu. Her
leisure is her own, and the managers of the
clubhouse should aid her in employing it to
her mental and physical and social advant-
age. The supposition that working gide
will go wrong unless they are watched and
prayed with is insulting. They want only
a chance like this to prove it so.

about the townships in this county:

dotte Indians on'aceofint of the manner in

known that one of thein, Mrs. W. Rowe,
was suffering, and hal--suffered for twelve
Years, with that curse of womanhood --Fe-
male Weaknesses -aggravated by Kidney

The female population of Woodstock are
now overjoyed over Mrs. Rowe's recovery.
Dodd's Kidn y Pills did it.
The doctor told Mrs. Rowe she could
never be cured.
Different " remedies " failed to help her.
A few boxes of Dodd's Kidney Pills cured
her completely. •

i Can Children Judge Character.
Most people will tell you the children are
the best judges of character, but this not
really the case, for instinct goeset very little
way without experience. As a rule children
are wholly unreassonable in their likes and
dislikes. Their minds are easily deceived,
their judgments, such as they are, based
naturally on insufficient grounds. Putting
the question of intuition, howeVer, on one
side altogether, it ia obivious that children

often have special opportunities for making
their observations. Growtr-up people do
not have the same openinge for gaining an
insight into a stranger's true character. A
great deal is revealed in the treatment of
children that is concealed in intercourse with
older people. A man or a woman's nature
is then shown in its true lightewhile it need
hardly be pointed out that even the most
cautious people are sometimes betrayed in-
to being unguarded in the presence of the
young. The little ones' minds are ready
enough to embrace a new impression. Noth-
ing escapes them. Even then, however,
their conolueions are as likely as not incor-
rect. Sometimes they are nob deceived.
Oaly on thew °cessions they say what other
people only think. It may have been pat-
ent enough to everyone that Mr. Brown or
Jones or Robinson was, shall we say, a
coward? But everyone will have kept their
opinions to themselves-- a common reticence
which makes people call the children 'cute
who happen to blunt out the fact.

Beauty in Age. .
A dear old lady of 83 is she who is de-
scribed by Kate Sanborn, in "A Truthful
Woman in Southern California," as "Grand-
ma Wade." She Says:
"I have known several interesting oc-
togenarians, but never one that surpassed
her in loveliness, wit and positive jolity.
She still has her ardent admirers among
men as well as women, and now and then
recefves afi earnest proposal from sone lone-
ly old fellow. The last of these aged lovers,
when refused and relegated to the posi-
tion of a brother, urged her to reconsider
the matter,and make it a subject of prayer.
But she quietly said:
". I'm not going to bother the Lord with
questions I can answer myself.'
"One day when she was chocked by a
bread crumb at the table, she said to the
frightened waiter, as soon es she could re-
gain her breath:
Never mind if that did go down the
wrong way. A great many good things
have gone down the right way this winter.'
"She is invariably cheerful, and when
she is parting with her son for the winter,
she said:
Well, John, I want to know before
you go just what you have left me in your
will."
"This little joke turned a tear into a
smile.
" Even when ill, she is so bright and hope -
1 that a friend once exclaimed:
"Grandma, I do believe yam would laugh
if yo were dying a
"Well,' said she, 'so many folks go to
the Lord with a long face, I guess He will
be glad to see me come to him willing !"
