CAMPAIGN CONTRIBUTIONS. The

says that ''it is q matter ofregret that
money should be used in elections at

q mans vote is something that has a
market value, or that be can make
something out OF, is one Of the most
demoralizing that has crept into our
elective system. Logically it is. in its
development, sure death to govern

DEFECTIVE HEARING,
Some Suggestions Relating to the Better

its leading points and facts.
Children may be partially defective ih

however.
Not long since, Kuf1ler appeared il
the Office of Il wealthy lumber deale'
who owned an immense lumber yard il
the heart of the city. At this time there
was 4 perfect mania for building hoase:
in Vienna, and available lots commanded
fancy prices.
Il want to buy the land You have got
your lumber yard on. | want 10 put az
a big hotel on it, 81 d kuiher.
Il don't care to sell.
''But | have got to have it. 1t is tht
only suitable place in this part of the
city. I'll give you half a million
u don't want to sell. would not
sell for 4 million.
Il viii give you a million"
The lot was not worth a million, hut
as the merchant had his lumber on it.
and was wealthy. he did not care to &C.

and 10 show You that | am i'll earnest,

amount in Thousand mark notes on the
table.
The poor lumber dealer became nerv-
Gus and excited. Great bea1s of per
SEPARATION stood on his brow. He asked
for twenty-foar hours to think about it.
The trade was then concluded. The
lumber was to be cleared away before
two months. The fifty thousand marks
forfeit were to be paid over at the end
of week. The lumber deaie. was sat
isfied on that point. He knew that
Kulller had the money.
The lumber man then proceeded to
hunt for another lumber yard. Suitable
vacant lots were extremely scarce. \
land agent. however. who had heard that
the lumber dealer was lookin" for lot,
offered him one for six hundred thousand
marks, but only gave him the refusal o!
it for twenty-four hours. He sad he
could get that amount from another
party. In his anxiety to sell the place
to Kufller for million and quarter,
the lumber merchant paid down six
hundred thousand francs 10 the agent.
Next day KuIfier notified the lumber
dealer that he would pay over the fifty
thousand marks forfeit as he was unable
to raise the million and quarter, the
purchase money for his lot.
With the ad of a skillful agent, the
Spectator had sold to the lumber mer-
chant for six hundred thousand marks
Il lot only worth tour hundred thousand
marks. thereby proiiting, after paying
the fifty thousand marks, n cool 80, 00J
marks.

lots on his hands. and is also in posses
