Among the passengers on the st Louis
express on the Erie Raiwlsy, between Port
Jervis and Jersey City yesterday morn
ing was a very much oyer-dressed woman.
accompanied by q bright-looking nurse
girl, who had charge of self willed, tyran-
nical two-year old boy, of whom the over
dressed woman was plainly the mother.
The mother occupied seat by herself
The nurse and child were in = seat inn
mediately in front of her. The child gave
sucIgfrequent exhibitions of temper and
kept the car filled with such vicious wells
and shrieks that there was general feel
ing VI savage indignation among the pas
sengers. Although he time and again spat
IN his nurses face, scratched her hands until
the blood came, and tore at her hair and
bonnet, she bore with him patiently. The
Indignation OF the passengers was made
the greater because the child's mother
made no effort to correct or quiet him,
out on the contrary, sharply chided the
nurse whenever she manifested any firm
ness. Whatever the boy yelled for, the
mother 8 cry was uniformly:
"Let him have it, Mary"
by the time the train passed Turner's
the feelings OF the passengers had been
wrought up to the highest point. The
remark was made audibly here and there
that " 1t would be worth paying for to
have The young one chucked out of the
window. The hopeful mother was not
moved by the very evident annoyance the
passengers felt, and at last fixed herself
down in her seat for comfortable nap.
The Chi had just slapped the nurse in the
face for the hundredth time, and was pre-
pairing for fresh attack, when wasp
came from somewhere in the Car and fiew
against the window of the nurses seat.
The boy at once made . dive for the wasp
him coaxingly:
Harry mustn't touchi Bug will bite
Harry"
Harry gave savage yell aud began to
kick and slap the nurse:
"Why will you tease the child so, Mary?
Let him have it at once p
Mary let go of Harry. She settled back
i'll her seat with an air of resignation, but
there was sparkle in her eye. The boy
clutched at the wasp aud finally caught it.
The yell that followed caused JOY to the
entire car, for every eye was on the boy.
The mother awoke again.
MARY" she cried, ''let him have it!"
Mary turped calmly in her seat and,
with a wicked twinkle in her eye, said:
"Sure, he's got it mum!"
This brought the car down. Evrey one
in it roared. The child's mother rose up
in her seat with jerk. When she learned
what the matter was she pulled her boy
over the back of the seat and awoke some

A MAN WHO SUFFERED MENTAL AND
PHYSICAL AGONY EIGHT YEARS PRO-
CLAIMS HIS HAPPINESS.
Mental agony is dreadful, but when that
and physical ailment combine, it is simply
terrible. Such was the condition of Geo.

was infamed and mortified, which caused
running sores. He says: Z" Pieces OF bone

out of the sores on my leg. The discharge
from the sores was almost continual, and
was unable to walk. For eight years l

the treatment OF physician at Newport,

FRIDAY EVENING, OCTOBER 9.

NEWSPAPER OBSERVATION-DISCLOSURES
man have often asked themselves ques'
t;on. but ND to the present no one has been
found who could answer it. A paper sets
off a certain number of its columns for ad-
vertisements, and to that space the business
manager looks for the revenue which Is 10
Keen the wheels in motion. That space has
a specified value, and as many people con-
stantly take advantage of it, it's worth IS
thereby proven without argument. Yet,
Notwithstanding this, eight out of every ten
nersons who insert an advertisement ask
that notice in the reading columns I've
giyen-thrown in, 80 to speak-Witn Tue
other. There is only one man out OF all Inc
subscribers who takes any particular dellght
in that paragraph known as the notice, and
that ia the man whose name it contains,
and he smiles in sort of deliSium OF oilss.
Now. when the editor goes out to buy ne
does not, after making his purchases, ask
that two dollars worth of articles be thrown
in The grocer would kick the man out OF
his store who habitually asked to nave
pound of sugar thrown in for every quarter
of q pound Of pepper he purchased: Inc
hardware man would be aghast II ne was
compelled to throw in pound OF nails Iof
every ten cents worth of putty he sold.
The dry goods man would go out of bust,
ness if he put in yard of cloth or parcel
for every bit of calico Maria Abigail Slmp'
kins:: happened to purchase. ,,
The funniest thing about The "notice'
business is that the large advertisers DO not
ask for the extra, the complimentary para,
graph being merely given a. an act OF
. courtesy for their large trade IN printers,
ink, while the man who spends 81 montn
has his feelings wounded if he does not re-
ceive a notice worth $3.50 in hard cash,
