year work will begin in earnest.

Wichita Eagle: Speaking of fruit, a
lady of Hartford, Conn, gives the
following information regarding prices
there: plums, twenty-five cents a
quart, and apples very hard to get at
any price. And yet, here in Wichita,
we can go on the streets and buy fine
apples at fair prices, and peaches, of all
grades, from seedlings up to the finest
grown; some picked from baskets in
show windows averaging ten and
half inches in circumference. A Mich

farmers are better off than ours and
have more money. The Kansas farmer
has no reason to complain, compared
with Others" Many of us know this,

We've heard of a woman

We've heard of a woman
who said she'd walk FIVE miles
to get a bottle of DR.. Pierce's
Favorite Prescription if she
couldn't get it without. That
woman had tried it. And it's
a medicine which makes itself
felt in toning up the system
and correcting irregularities as
soon as its use is begun.
Go to your drug store, pay
a dollar, get a bottle and try
it-try a second, a third if
necessary. Before the third
ones been taken you'll know
that there's a remedy to help
you. Then you'll keep on
and a cure II come.
But if you shouldn't feel the
help, should be disappointed
in the results you'll find a

How many women are there

than health? And "Favorite

of the bill, especially the paragraph propos-
ing reciprocity, and providing for bounty
on beet sugar, which he declared illegal and
unconstitutional.
Senator Allison responded to Carlisle aud
denied the accuracy of many of his state
ments.
Senator Aldrich then closed the discussion
and voting commenced. Paddock, Pettl-
grew and Plumb voted no. with the demo-
Gratis; Senator Plumb's vote being the last
one recorded. This left the final result, yeas

claims the claims of Charles P. Chouteau
and of the Portland company, of Portland,
Me-, and the third one, the bill to prohibit
bookmaking and pool selling in the District
of Columbia for purposes of gambling. The
presidents objection to the latter bill is that
but on the contrary permits it in the case of
the Washington Jockey club and of other clubs
owning race tracks. If that form of gam
bling was to be prohibited las the president
thinks it should be) prohibition should apply

Charles Lamb, in one Of his dainty
essays, lamentcd the decay of heggars
in the metropolis. What he termed the
"all-sweeping bosom of socictarian ref
ormation" was driving their picuur-
esque tatters and lineamcnts trained to
supplication from accustomed hooks
and corners. A pathetic and graceful
plea he put in to save the beloved va
grants. His sympathetic pen set out a
rather seamy subject in soft and pleas
ing lights; it's crude colors were shaded
down with the conceptions of gentle
fancy; and the effect was charming,
even to those irasciblc persons who re-
garded beggars as a nuisance, and VOL
coined their proposed cxtirpation. Ella
declared the vagrant TO be ''tho only
man in the universe who was not
obliged to study Appearances that the
ups and downs of tho world concerned
him not; that nobody expected him to
go bail or surety; and that in short, he
was the only free man among us. In

many vcrnacular struggle he drew
from the Oldest Savoyard the story of
the band. They had come over in the
steerage of an Italian steamer from
Genoa, bringing the bears with them.
Previously they had heard dazzling tales
of the fortunes to be made in America
by exhibitions of performing bears, and
how the natives, having more money
than they knew what to do with,
showered gold upon those who amused
them. The Savoyards had no sooner
landed than they prepared to gather the
first fruits of their harvest. Tho three
bears, after standing on their heads in
row, had just begun to dance clumsy
jig to the wild shouts of the natives,
when man in a blue coat and waving q
heavy stick gave the party to under
stand, bears and all, that they must
come with him. The tin cups had not
even been passed round for the money.
Are the bears in court?" asked the
magistrate, with mock solemnity.
At this there was a general roar Of
laughter, and when it subsidized tho Off
Ger said tho bears had been put into a
stable on Barrow street, pending dispo-
sition of tho case. The old Savoyard, in
his grating patois, began to exclaim
against the outrage of taking away his
bears and locking the party up in cold
cells all night. lie thought it was
FREQ country, where tho foreigner met
with kindness. AS it wasn't, they would
all go elsewhere if the Judge would give
them the bears. His honor said that I'M
less the Savoyartls had money sufficient
for their present wants he would DO
obliged to ship them back to Italy, to-
gcthcr with their animals. One of the
prisoners produced bundle. 1t was n
knottcd bandanna, and when he united
it n store OF silver coins was disclosed.
The magistrate thereupon decided that
they must pay for the first experience
in free country the sum of five dollars,
and he directed the policeman to sec the
men, women, children and bears over
the Harlem river, at which the officer
made very wry face. Five dollars to
these Old World Migrants sounded like
a fine of cruel proportions, and there
were fearful and cxcruciating lamenta-
lions before they paid it.
The bear which these people exhibit
for bread is usually the cinnamon varie-
ty, found in the Pyrcnces or Vosges
mountains. Not being essentially car
nivcrous animal-that is to say, feeding
on fruit, honey, vegetables and smaller
animals-hc is easily managed, and il

intellectual animal, and it is only by &
great expenditure of patience and con
slant prodding with an iron-shod staff
that he acquires the tricks which sc
amuse the children. Old bears arc not
in demand for show purposes. In Their
natural state they serve to guido tho
