Odd Jobs ! Speciality.

The latest thing devised to lessen the
hbor of living and the cares of house
Keeper is a corporation known as the
Odd Job and Tinkering company,
limited. The parent Office of the con.
Germ is naturally enough in New York
but according to it's prospectus it has, OF
will have, subsidiary companies in all
the large cities.
1t is a charming idea-this odd job
company-and the man who originated
the scheme deserves vote of thanks for
his ingenuity. Though limited in its
liabilities, its scope of usefulness is not
curtailed, but is as limitless as human
wants may necessitate.
If Mary takes it into her head to visit
her cousin on wash day and remains alb.
sent for week, a postal card to the odd
job company at once brings a substitute
who will perform all the multitudinous
duties of the "down stairs girl" with ex-
petition and dispatch. And so it goes
on through every department of the
household.
"You send postal card" says the al
vertisement calling attention to the COM
pany, land we will do the rest. This
remainder, as further specified, includes
housekeeping, painting, mason and lock-
smithing work, clerical work and mis-
cellaneous work, and other things too
numerous to mention, but all of the
greatest importance in the economy of
living in well appointed house.-New

Jennie's knowledge Of the Scriptures
and of the hymns sung in the mission
and at her home is marvellous. If the
words of hymn whose music attracts
her are read to her several times, she re-
members them forever after. The sing
ing is one of the great attractions to the
little ones.
The members of Jennies class do not
meet at stated hours but run in when
ever they desire
All, what glorious thing it was that
the hospitals turned Jennie from their
inhospitable doors. She would have
been so useless in those warm and cheer
full rooms-a recipient of their aims and
nothing else, whereas she has turned her
tenement into a temple and filed one
of the darkest corners Of the city with
the light and the grace of God.
Hope Mission chapel keeps its eye on
Jennie and her mother and keeps, the
wolf from entering at the door, as it
would do sometimes if they were left
absolutely unaided. The good people,
who are not overrich themselves, help
them out with the rent and the coal man.
A few days ago the missionary went
shopping for Jennie, and this was what
he bought after paying out S. for the
rent: Quilt, $3.50; cot, $1.25; under
clothing. $1.75; pillow, "a cents; sheets,
SO cents: two cups and saucers and two
knives and forks. 81 cents. and wash
board. Is cents.
THE fund from which we drew these
little purchases, said Pastor John B.
Devins to me, twas only $87, but we
found that Jennie absolutely needed
them. and that settled the matter with
u.s."
There was great time when Jennie's
Sunday school celebrated Christmas.
Such songs, such games, such recita-
tions! And then there was collection
taken up to build Presbyterian church
in Pratt, Mimi, and when Jennie count
ed out the largess of her little ones there
was one whole dollar to go to that
worthy fund!

While on His Way Home Last Night
He Was Shot and Robbed-He

and L streets, shot twice, and robbed of
watch and several dollars in money.
a telephone message was received at
the police station, and Officer Dole and
Special Officer Greer were dispatched to
the place of the shooting.
Owing to a difficulty in getting wagon
it was some time after o'clock before the
unfortunate man was delivered at the
Receiving Hospital.
Two bullets were found to have taken
effect-one entering the left breast and
lodging in the right shoulder; the other
passing through his neck.
He was covered with blood and in great
pain when he reached the hospital.
City Physician Nichols was sum-
moned, and after dressing the wounds
said he believed there was chance for
the man to recover.
The victim could give no reliable de-
scription of his assailant, nor say whether
he was shot while attempting to resist
being robbed, or before offering resist
ance.

A Notorious Young Rascal Implicated
In Numerous Thefts.
The notorious boy known as Midget,
was arrested by Officer Ahern at the
police station last night and locked up
pedding investigation.
He had followed a crowd which went
TO the station when the man Ryan was
arrested for fighting Cinnamon ON Front
street. When the lad saw that he was
recognized he tried to evade the officers.
and when arrested he was loud in his
protestations that he hadn't done any
thing.
Midget is said to have been one of a
gang of messenger boys in San Francisco
who committed many burglaries there.
The gang would locate a room which they
desired to pilter and would then put
Midget" in over the transom.
He with three others was with the
young man named Finn, who was killed
while raiding chicken houses here last
winter. The gang were all arrested ex-
cept Midget" who escaped by leaving
the city on a freight train.
The officers think they can get some in
teresting information out of him, al
though he is smooth and strictly onto
himself" as he says.

Danger.

If you have feeling of oppression and
uneasiness little above the diaphragm,
and just below the right ribs, aggravated
by lying on the right side, look out! AS
sure as fate, your liver is disordered.
Perhaps not seriously as yet, but-fatal
hepatlc assesses are not uncommon.
Hostetter' Stomach Bitters is the precise
remedy TO regulate the liver, and prevent
Its congestion and inflammation, and to
dlsperse such minor iadicta OF its de-
rangement as yellowness of the skin and
ball OF the eye, furred tongue, sourness
OF the breath, nausea on rising in the
morning. dizziness, sick headache and
constipation. BY relaxing the bowels
palnlessly, 1t opens a channel OF exit for
the supertiuous bile, checks tendency
to congestion and engagement of the
llver, at the same time giving a gentle
impetus TO its secretive action, and affords
relief to the stomach, which is usually in
active, out of order and oppressed with
wlnd when the bowels are costive. Use
the Bitters also i'll fever and agu rheu-
matism and kidney troubles.
