WHAT IS YOUR orINIoNs

Should any one ask your opinion about
the Histogenetic system of medicine, just
answer boldly that it is no good. Should
he ask you the reason why it is no good,
tell him-just because. If this answer does
not confound him by its profundity and he
still persists, tell him that it is a new-fan-
gled idea. This will probably prove effect
i've, as it bankrupted the first iron pillow es-
Enlistment. Should you fail in that, too,
don't give up, but insist with the powerful
argument that your grandmother never
heard of it, that you can't see how mer-
curry, arsenic, strychnine, etc, can be inn
proved upon and that the old schools of
medicine must necessarily have exhausted
all the stock of wisdom and that there cam
not possibly be anything left to learn. And
if all your powerful arguments have failed
to convince him of the reasonabeness of
your position-you have still one Parthian
shot-tell him that you are simply aston
ished; that you thought him intelligent
man!
And still there are men-and women, too
upon whom such arguments have no eff
feet, but they are thinking people who are
willing to Investigate before they form an
opinion.

Kent Drinkinc the Ten.

Many years ago a French gentleman
was invited to 5 o'clock tea at Bath,
where the guests sat around the room
in a stiff circle holding their teacups in
their left hands and eating hot buttered
waffles and Clipped smoked venison
with the fingers of their right from
plates in their laps. Walters handed
about tea and coffee, and the French
gentleman, unaware that the position
of the teaspoon in the empty cup re-
turned to the waiter indicated whether
or not it was to be replenished, politely
drank fourteen cups of tea, and then
in despair pocketed the cup and saucer,
until the general rising of the company
enabled him to rid himself of them.-

their heads out of doo ways and win

the walk is a great bloc stain, which
tells of the manner in ~ hich the last
victim was murdered.
There can be no mistake; a fiction
writer could find plenty of material
for a Observation-Disclosures novel if he
would but visit that locality
and, if not frightened at the tales
he heard. go through the house. He
would find cleverly constructed sub
terranean passage leading from the
back yard through under the house and
under the walk to the street. When
close pressed by the police the gang
would dash down the passage and
make good their escape. In the dark
ness it was impossible to see where
the members went and and it has puz-
lied good many policemen to know
why it was that when almost within
reach of the robbers the latter would
escape by apparently jumping off the
sidewalk.
Within the house all is bare and
cheerless, showing no signs of habita-
bation The gang used the large main
room as a watching-place and would
keep an eye out for victims through

presented itself a quick sortie would

Mccarthy boys, one of the worst gangs
of cutthroats the city has ever har-
bored. A forlorn looking frame build
ing with greasy looking window sills,
wretched in all its interior as well as
exterior decorations and appurtenances
and one has a fair idea of the place
which has long been the terror of
neighborhood. Nearly all the denizens
of which are on the outlaw order.
For many weeks now the house has
been unoccupied. The crimes of its
former occupants became too numer-
Gus as well as too fragrant and the
police raided ii. Now solitary police

tempts TO enter Is promptly arrested on
suspicion of being a confederate

Sadly makes a confession.
In this way some important evidence
has been secured against the Me-
Carthys who are now in the Chicago
Jail charged with various murders and
robberies.
The history of the Mccarthy boys is
not without interest An enterprising
Chicago newspaper reporter, who has
discovered in their crimes the ground
work for a thrilling story, is about to
carry his idea into execution.
The downward career of the Nc
earthly boys has been swift and ter
rible. They were the sons of well
known Celtic parents who resided in
the house on Milton avenue-so-called

a tritie better off than their neighbors,
inasmuch as they owned the place
they lived in. But there was faint of
crime in the family and 1T soon broke
out. One night seven years ago Charles
Mccarthy, one of the sons, became en-
ragged at his brother, Dennis, and
in the heat of passion drew re-
volver and tried to kill him. But the
ball missed its mark and struck the
father, killing him. Charles was tried
SAND sentenced to five years at Joliet.
From that time on it seemed as if
curse rested upon the family and the
house. The mother died and when
Charles was liberated from prison he
took to drink and travelled the down
ward course very rapidly. He lost his
reason and died raving maniac.
Jerry, Cornelius and Dennis were
with a speed that was only equaled
by the persistent manner in which they

doned, and taking to a most dissolute
mode of living, these brothers preyed
upon the community whose laws they
continually outraged. From that time
on the Mccarthy house became verit-
able Robbers Roost' and the neigh
bors were nightly terrorzed by the
raids of the gang.
The front of the house was closed up
and the place was made to accommo
date murderous, thieving gang in
stead of serving as an honest dwelling
house. The now notorious Mccarthy
gang held for h there night and way

its auditors away with a better opinion OF
