Exactly match her brother's;
Her round straw hat Is so like his
You can't tell one from tother's;

themselves with unanxious minds.
Have you ever watched the warfare
OF two women over car fare!
Each aaame with generous feeling,
Depth of heart and purse revealing;
Each inspired with gentle horror
Lest the other should pay for her.
But take note-the more insstent

She whose hand most promptly snatches
AT her pocketbooks stiff catches,
She who murmers: Don't be strange, dearl
It's all right. I've got the change, dear"
She-though am sad to say it
Always let's the other pay it

Urban-From a live model, certainly.

When Jim was dead.
"Jes' killed himself" "Too mean to live."

Of comfort as they lowered near
An gazed on Jim lying there.
THAR amt no use ter talk" they sed,
Hes better dead.'
But suddenly the room growed still,
While Gods white sunshine seemed to fill
The dark place with g!eam of life,
An DER the dead she bent-Jims wife!
An with Der lips close, close to his,
AS tho he knew an felt the kiss,
She sobbed-a touchin' sight to see
"Ah! Jim was always good to me-"

Throwed kindly arms Of love that day
And mingled wi it'll their own they shed

InfOrmers, Testimony.

The 'InfOrmer'' has played an impOr-
the pages of history, we find that we can
trace to him the source from which sprang
many of the great troubles of both ancient
and modern times.
We quite often read in the newspapers of
some crime on the statement of such men,
who under the protection of the govern
ment have sworn away many mans lib
erty.
Says Col IngersOll: "When man com
mits crime and sincerely repents, the mo-
ment repentance comes is holy moment
and the tear OF sincere repentance jewels
the cheek of shame, an honest confession,
born of resolution to do right, eXciteS the
admiration of all noble men. When he
turns his back to the darkness and his face
to the rising sun of truth he has the sincere
respect of ALL" But it is utterly prepos-
ferrous how much credbility is placed in
the testimony of an infOrmer. When we
take into consideration that we never hear
from these individuals till they are caught,
and confronted with evidence of their guilt
and punishment stares them in the face
that it is then they tell their miserable
olotys hwy tuIH OtdtC CNIuCuCC.
They offer to sell what they know in order
to keep themselves out of prison. They
would invent any lie or concoct any diabOl-
ical story that would save themselves. and
would put any one else in the penitentiary.
Such man eXcites the ScOrn of all honest
men. Yet there are many instances re-
corded where the government has been
leagued with lot of self confessed Grimm
ais. and with its promises of immunity it
even makes the law itself criminal. 1t
hires criminals. 1t aids and abets GRIMM
ais.
A striking instance where this is plainly
manifested, is in the case of man who is
now confined in noted prison of this
cOutry. His accuser was an inmate of the
same institution, and as soon as the jury
rendered their verdict an application was
made for his pardon. Sufficient to say, it
was only a matter of few days and he
was given his liberty. But it was only for
a short time, he being detected in some
crime and is now behind the bars.
'There's honor among thieves" is the
old proverb that has been handed down
from generation to generation, but let all
those standing at the threshold ponder wei!
before embarking on the ocean of crime

done, and with Q success that has surprised
all. No other house in Ottawa could do it,
and succeed.
The advantages the house can offer by this
change are obvious to all buyers, and
these advantages multiply when the great
business of this house is considered, enabling
it to purchase at the very lowest figures;
by selling, as the house does, on the
smallest margin, which is only possible with
q cash system, the buyer reaps every possible
advantage which cash in the hands Of both
buyer and seller can give them. This is the
secret of the new system at II. j. Gillens.
