A shadow on the Tile.

When the west side was farms the country
roads ran every which way acrcss them. and
many wero really private lanes, although
open for public use. In some cases the origi-
nal owners gave deeds leaving these roads
out on the supposition that some dav thew
would be streets. When the city came along
and laid the farms out into rectangular city
blocks, the old danes reverted to their owners.

These heirs have multiplied and scattered
over the country in some instances. and in
other cases the families have died out COM

The ''AIoney to Loan,i sbarI,s.

DO you know what manner of sharks ad-
vertise under the department Of Money to
loan and Financial in some New York
papers~ asked a prominent business man on
Thursday. ''Nol Well, do. One of nv
employees, whose wife had been sick and who
needed a loan, fell into the hands Of one of
these men who loans money on personal
property, furniture and so on. He was going,
to squeeze the poor fellow out Of everything
he had, when 1 stepped in and stopred
it. The majority of these bloodsuckers
are without souls or heart or con-
science. They refuse to loan over
800 to any person, no matter how
great the security offered. They let you have
800 for sixty days on your signing a note
for $40, payable at the end of that period
They evade the usury law by legally loaninc
you $40 and charging you $40 discount,
Just think what a skin that is, with millions
lying idle in Wall street which would be
gladly invested at 4 per cent. or even 8 DER
cent. per annum. With this note nv man
gave chattel mortgage on household furni-
ture worth $1,000 to 81, 200. When his note
came due he couldn't quite payup The shark
who held it refused to renew it, but offered
to take new note for $500 at thirty days in
place Of it.
"Aiy man foolishly consented. In fact, he
was given no chance to do anything else
The money loaner was in the house and
threatening to foreclose on the furniture
Just before the thirty days were up was
told Of the transaction. When Mr.. Shark
found he had somebody to bump up against
that could fight him he became as abject and |
seryile as a cornered confidence man. None
of those fellows wants to fight, because that
means exposure, loss Of reputation and dam |
age to their business l settled that claim |
forsl25. And the money grabber was glad |
to get that. If poor people who get hard up |
falls into such hands as these don't wonder
they curse the rich, knowing no other tvpe
than these ugly usurers. New York Tri-

Az of q smokInr an.

"Here is a curious thing, said doctor,
as he walked through an Erie railroad
train the other day. "This smoking car
seats fifty persons, and yet there is sell
dom a chance for seat after the train
starts out of New York The men in this
car have gone into the country at consfd-
cradle expense and disadvantage for the
sake Of their healths The only time they
spend at home is at night, and most Of it
in their bedrooms in heated houses where
the air is very little different from that
in a city bedroom. They spend from two
to four hours of the only leisure they
have in this car, where the air is so
vitiated with tobacco that though am an
old smoker it makes me as sick in fifteen
minutes as did my first cigar It is safe
to say that the health of these men would
have been better guarded had they stayed
in town. New York Sun.
