OVER THE WAY.

\ am called queer old woman,
Eccentric. ought to say,
As the gold and gems in my Golfers pilod,
Form halo around my way.
Here in the heart of the city
The populous, busy place
love TO watch the stream OF life
Between my curtains Of lace.
Away from the hard worlds GOODNESS,
eIn the midst of perfume and song,
sit and watch, unaffected they say,
The hurrying, jostling throng-
Ny home is a marble mansion,
But over across the street.
As tho hand too full had dropped
1t down at my very feet,
Stands a tiny, one story dwelling,
Poor, but coZy and neat,
And at one Of the windows, small and cleAn-
Blooms biush-rOse tall and sweet
Every morning a shy sweet maiden
With face that rivals the rose,
Leans tenderly over the blossoms fair
While her check like a rosebud giowE
Three merry mischievous children
Climb round her and nod and smile
At the passers BY in the street below.
Tho | know who she looks for the while.
a tall. broad -shouldered young fellow,
With a face both honest and true,
And smile revealing the loyal heart
Tho in cities one finds so few.
And the eyes Of my rosebud maiden
A half-Open bud she is
Show the secret she tries 40 hard to conceal
From eVery-One's eyes but his.
Thro' the day she sings at her housework, =
Or laughs with the babies three
For my neighbors are orphans over the way,
Though very dear 10 me.
Then at night-can tell you the rapture
That shines i'm my neiEhbOrs face.
As she looks for her lover, and so do 1,
Behind my satin and lace?
His face, grown weary with striving
Against the rough tide OF fate.
Lights up as tho sunheOnS had fallen there
When he sees the rOse-buds that wait.
No doubt I'm n queer Old woman,
Weary and lonely and old.
But just for one day OF a rapture Ike tn eirs
would give my lands and gold.
So. unaffected" they tell me,
Worn and weary and gray,
1 watch-whilc my heart grows young
again
My ncighbors ovcrthe way.

Being aware of the annoyance,
and sometimes loss to borrowers,
by having to wait weeks and
sometimes months for money, we
have organized a company with
sufficient cash capital to enable
us to cash mortgages as soon as
the papers are executed, and as
We pass upon all loans here in
stead of having to send them
East to be approved, We can COM
plete a loan and pay over the
money i'm less than half the time
usually taken.

The courts have decided that refusing to
take newspapers from the post-office, or re-

FABLES FOR THE TIMES.
THE CAMEL AND THE GOAT.

A Goat one day met a Camel, and
said: Hello, old fellow, you seem to
have your back up this morning."
"Oh! you arc too low-lung for my
use," retorted the Camel, rs he kicked
the Goat forty yards down n steep hill.
MORAL: This Fable teaches the bad
policy of laughing at the affections OF
deformed people; and hints that polite
ness is never thrown away.
II GIANT AND THE PILL.
A Giant once engaged n Pill in con-
versation, and becoming suddenly an
CRY, abused it in the most violent man
ncr and made the most sarcastic and
insulting remarks about its size and
seeming weakness. The Pill did not
reply to the insults, but on the follow
ing morning 1t secrctod itself in the
food that had been prepared for the
Giant and thus obtained m entrance
into his inner temple, where it straight
way wrcakcd a direful Vengeance.
MORAL: This Fable teaches that
science is often q match for superior
muscle in n pugilistic encounter.
II TERRAPIN AMI III TAILOR.
A Terrapin had for n long time avoid
cd the payment of II %tailor's bill BY
shutting up his shell whenever the
Tailor came about him. But one
morning, when the Tailor had been
thus baillcd for the hundredth time, he
pasted the bill on the Terrapin's back,
leaving the animal in ignorance of what
had been done. The Tcrrapin was not
worried BY the Tailor any more, but by
crawling through the town with the
bill on his back, he lowered his credit
to such an extent that h. had to leave
the community.
MORAL: This Fable teaches that
VIII lie II man may avoid his creditors
BY adopting q zig-zag route in walking
down town, the fact Of outstanding
debts cannot be kept a profound secret.

Some have spent the summer months
IN recreation at various resorts OF wealth

Oilers have found their rest and spent
tieir vacations at their own pleasant

study and school tasks. During this va
cation they have become hardy, rugged
and strong, with the glow of health on
thcir countenances, and the sparkle and
brightness of q rested, clear brain in their
eyes. In previous years you have seen
the strong full muscles grow weak and
ilaci1, the glow Of health replaced by
pnllid and sunlien cheeks, Il dull, heavy
iis%,,cssness, IN unwclcome substitute for
the bright, active animal spirits, the
eyes dimmcl By dull sullen headaches,
instead Of bright with perfect health ;
accompanying ibis yon have seen c0ast-
p0tion and dyspepsia eapping the health,
weakening the body, and injuring the
brains Of your children. You know the

BUSINESS FRAUDS.
How . Countryman Invested Ills Cash In
in Chicago.
lChicago Trisuns.l

in Chicago.
lChicago Trisuns.l
An almost incredible story was told o
! few years ago in the city papers. A MAJ
from an interior town had sod ort a thirty
ing business, allured by the rapidly grow
ING greatness of Chicago, and with his
imagination fired by hopes of suddel
wealth, had come TO this city with a cash
capital of 5000. Upon his arrival he
| found that a profitable investment was not
so easy a matter as he had imagined;
| strangers were brusque; business men
were too busy to talk; and he felt strange
and out of place in a great city. Finally
he inserted an advertisement in a daily
paper, stating the amount he desired t.
invest, and his own business qualifications
This brought a number Of replies. One OF
them was particularly to his taste. II
offered an interest in a successful iron
manufacturing establishment, a line OF
business to which the advertiser had
always taken a great fancy. An inter-
view was arranged, and after a half
hours talk the two started out to inspect
the works" These were found in full
blast in the manufacturing district of the
West Side. The Tuan from the country,
with his newly-found friend, passed
through the office, which was unoCcupied,
and entered the mandatory, where the
buzz and hum of machinery made a cheer
full rattle. Everything looked in tirst-class
shape, and the various processes were ex-
planned by the manufacturer to his com
--:- HAo,- %h,r, ,,,--nI N,,r FL rOY, rb thn
office, and the absence of the b~Cok-keeper
was explained as due to his being absent
at ''the bank" The two then adjourned
TO a good hotel. where, after a good dim
ner, the man from the country signed an
agreement to enter into a partnership with
the manufacturer, and paid over his money
in cold cash on the spot. The next day the
couutryman proceeded to the factory pre-
pared to take his place as the financial
partner and ofice-man, when he was thun-
derstruCk tolcarn that no man of the de-
scription OF his late cOmpan on was known
about the place. Further investigation
only made it plain that the guileless MAJ
had been made the victim of a bold and in
geniOus confidence game. But his money
was gone, and though the detectives were
notified the swindler was never captured
This is but a sample OF the frauds daily
committed in similar ways. A similar at
tribute of these frauls is that although
the swindler is sometimes captured and
punished the money is never recovered.
This fact is so well recognized that often
a sufferer Will refuse to prosecute, know
ing that it will only entail upon him addi-
tional annoyances, and that his hard
earned wealth is surely gone past recov-
cry.
The case cited above is doubtless an ex-
IRENE one, both in the gullibility of the
sucker" and the daring of the swindler;
but there are hundreds of similar cases
happening every day where the parties
are brought together by the arts of the
man or by newspaper adver-
