LENT AND ECONOMY.
A Butchers Lamenf-HOW Folks Cut
Down on Their Bills In This Season.


A butcher was standing in his stall on Friday
morning looking gloomily over a column of
profits and losses, when a STAR man passed
through the market. The choicest cuts Of
steaks and roasts hung upon the hooks and no
customers stood near. The butcher and the
STAR man were the only ones there.
"How is meat selling?" asked the reporter.
The man looked up with a start. Then, with
a look of disgust as if he thought he was being
trided with, he turned back to his profits and
losses, condescending merely to mutter some
thing about Friday in Lent But he was q
good-natured and affable fellow, after all, and
he turned In minute from his figures, and, on
finding that the reporter was seeking tnfOrma-
ton, gave him all he wanted.
"Lent," he said, sis hard on US butchers. Our

week there is a falling off in the sales, and on

Whenever folks want to economic they start

If flush its maybe twice a day. That's the way
1t goes. When folks have been very extrava-

Ex.Prcsfdent Arthur,s Health.

HE Is SAID TO BE VERY MUCH BROKEN DOWN.
New York Special TO the Philadelphia Times.
It is sad but stubborn fact that ex-President
Arthur is in very critical condition. His
closest friends are now for the first time forced
to admit that 1t is doubtful whether he again
leaves his bed. He has not been q we'll man at
any time since he returned from Washington
and his bodily ailments have finally had their
effect upon his usually strong nerve centers
This need not necessarily mean that death is
approaching. General Arthur is only about
ftty-seven years old, and under usual condi
lions would have the constitutional strength to
overcome almost any ordinary disease. A few
days will doubtless tOreshadow what is good OF
said to be in just that condition in which time
alone can decide his fate Everything that
medical skill can do for him is being done Two
of the best physicians in the city have been
called to take charge of the case.
