a remedy that succeeds where every
thing else has failed. Thousands of
such cases can be pointed out. That's
the reason its makers back their faith in

and thoroughly. The apparatus, says 7
Sun, is run 10y little electric motor a

brown paper, about four inches wide al
fifteen inches long, is fastened in cont

kept revolving at a slow rate by the mott
The band is slightly smeared with swe
substance Two-thirds of the length
the band is freely exposed, but at the 9th

as was Jewell, another of his predecessors
yet he suggests kindness and sympathy
and above all the determination of abso
lutte good faith in all his relations with
men.
II is believed by those who have seen anc
chatted with him ut the headquarters that
when Che campaign begins Mr.. Carter will
as absolutely dominate it as any chairman
of either party ever did. Moreover it il
the impression that he will, like Grant
call no council Of war, but will fight the
battle Oh his own plans, betraying no more
of them to any one than is necessary foi
the carrying of them out Such is the
present opinion at least of the local poll
ticians in New York.
Mr.. Carter has an advisory committe,
who will be with him much of the time
but the other members of the national
committee are not expected to be often at
headquarters. Chief among these lieuten
ants is Mr. Clarkson. With him Mr.. Car
ter has been spending much of the time at
headquarters, and also at Mr.. Clarkson's
summer place at Long Branch. Clarkson's
knowledge of the details of national com
mittee work is perhaps greater than that
committee. 1t is greater than Mr.. Quay's,
although Quay has been esteemed greater
political strategist than Clarkson. Thi
knowledge Mr.. Carter is absorbing. The|
detail, the minutie, he had all to Learnt
after he became chairman.
Another member of this inner council OF
advisors is Cornelius n. Bliss, who is the|
treasurer of the national committee. Mr.|
Bliss is one Of the most conspicuous of the|
local Republicans. He is of the Union|
League set. His acquaintance with the|
great merchants of New York is very great, Il
for he is one of them. Upon him rests the|
obligation of raising the money necessary
to carry on the campaign, and the impor1
tant and rather complicated financial
affairs of the committee will be absolutely
in his control. He will work harder than
any bank president and he will get nothing
but thanks. Sometimes treasurers do nod
always receive such acknowledgment, but
only duns from creditors of the commit
tee That was the case with one of tho
treasurers few years ago.
Secretary McComas is another membe

has been fishing in Maine, so that he might
get vigor for the campaign. He is aeer

consultation. Other members of the ad |
visory committee, like Mr. Manley,
Maine, or Mr.. Sutherland, of New York
will be in occasional attendance, but tn
burden Of the canvass is likely to be born
by those just mentioned. Yet it is plair
that the master is to be the chairman, MrN
Carter, and his method is to blow rathey
than to fire skyrockets.

his wife-if possible, would the muir
derer find him.
The man in the corner of the car
laughed aloud. One or two passengers
near turned and looked at him, but
quickly withdrew their eyes. There
was no contagious mirth in that laugh,
and the smile on the cruel face was the
smile of fiend.
That night he crawled into slovenly
bed in cheap lodging house on the east
side. He missed the lonely cell to which
he had become accustomed, and found
himself wondering if they would give
him his old quarters when he went back.
Next day he prowled about the muddy
streets seeking work. 1t was Christmas
week, and everybody was too busy to
listen to him. He ate sparingly and
boarded his little roll Of bills, counting
them over and over. A strange attrac-
ton lured him to the neighborhood of
the bank where he used to work. At
the close of the somber day he stood
and watched the we'll dressed, well
groomed men emerge from the build
ing. "That is the way used to look, ;"
he said to himself, and then glanced
down at his plain clothes and coarse
shoes.
At night the Bowery glittered with
rows of lights that twinkled like evil
eyes. johnson tramped for many
blocks, pausing now and then to gaze in
the windows at the Christmas decora-
tions. There was one display which
fascinated him. In a cutters window
were stars, crosses and other emblems
formed of smooth, shining, sharp edged
knives. johnson looked steadily ct
them for long time. Then he went in,
and selecting one particularly wicked
blade paid for 1t from the little roll of
bills, thrust it in the breast pocket of
his coat and resumed his tramp.
christmas, Christmas" he muttered
as he plodded on. "What is Christmas
to mef I'd like to give John Raymond
Christmas present, curse him." and
then suddenly he thought what fine
thing it would be to drive that knife
home in Raymond's heart and attach a
piece of paper to the handle bearing the
inscription, IA Christmas present from
q loving friend"
"l'll do i'll! he exclaimed. Eyes, I'll do
it on the night before Christmas. What
q merry Christmas it will be for mel'
People brushed against him in the
throng. Children shrank at sight of his
scowling face. On, on he went, un-
mindful Of his surroundings.

and close behind came her pursuer. She
opened the door on the third landing
and went in. He crouched outside,
holding his breath.
The door remained ajar.

room, with its wretched belongings. He
saw the bed and the sick man bolstered
up by flabby pillows.

SOMETHING ROLLED DOWN THE CHEEK
OF THE EX-CoNvICT.
Suddenly he paused before great
building into which crowds were pour
ing. He joined the throng and drifted
in. There were lights and music. Some
body-a man with clear baritone voice
was singing something. To the ears of
the Ishmaelite stole these words:
I've found friend in Jesus;
He's everything to me;
He's the fairest of ten thousand to my soul,
The Lily of the Valley.
In him alone SET
All need to cleanse and make me fully whole
Then suddenly the great audience rose
to its feet and responded:
He's the Lily of the Valley,
The Bright and Morning Star;
He's the fairest of ten thousand to my soul.
