A Handy Cane.

You have often been in some posi-
ton where you would give pretty much
any thing for light; when you have
been obliged to give it up and go on
your way disconsolate. 1t is just this
contingency, says the Chicago Even
ing Journal, that dealer in canes
and umbrellas has been providing
against. This dealer has succeed ed in
inventing cane which has an electric
light. The top of the cane unscrews and
discloses a small incandescent burner.
This latest application of the subtitle
fluid consists of cane with hollow
shank in which is snugly stored fairy
size battery. This is of sufficient pow
er to supply a current for a year with
only occasional use, and when ex-
hausted it can be readily renewed. If
you drop your pocket-book on the
street at night, if you want to consult
your watch, if the key-hole is lodging,
after the frequent manner of keyholes,
all you have to do is to touch button
and the electric cane goes into service,
and there you are, with a light at your
disposal.

Never was there a time when there
were so many defalcal,ons, breaches
Of trust and forgeries as are being re-

stop and ask whether there are now
any honest men. The fast pace that
this American life leads US, the rush
and strain for wealth, the lowering Of
the public tone and the recognition
that mere money wins, all Of these
things have conspired to make men
reckless and to lead them to adopt the
maxim: ANY thing for success" II
IS not worth striving for when one has
to pay such price for it. Better BY
far preserve ones health that is almost
certain to be lost in such an UNEQUAL
contest. When you feel blue and
