A Few Facts.

Aremedy has been found which
cures chronic diseases: not in every
case, but in a large percentage OF
them. And in cases too far gone
for cure, it affords relief and often
prolongs life. Many who have
been given over by physicians have
been prevailed upon by friends to
try this remedy, the Compound
Oxygen Treatment of Drs. StarkeY
& Palen, Of Philadelphia, and are
now living to testify to its curative
powers. 1t has been successful IN
curing many cases of catarrh' ma
larial fever, hay fever, asthma
bronchitis, neuralgia, nervous pros
tration, and other chronic diseases.
In these diseases physicians have
had little success, as the name they
have given to this class OF disorders
indicates, but Compound Oxygen
has worked wonders.
There is only one genuine COM
pound Oxygen, and any substance
made elsewhere or by others than
Drs. Starkey and Palen, is spurious.
Avoid limitations.
Ifyou wish to learn more OF this
wonderful remedy, send for our
book Of 200 pages, sent free, with
numerous testimonials and records
Of surprising cures.

The Ola Years Flight.

With his tattcred hood drawn over his face And his thrcad-bare garments flying, The Old Year softly steals away,
 Through the pines so sadly signing. He casts one glance on his kingdom fair, And thinks with a tender sorrow That his reign is OCT and he comes no more, For new king rules tomorrow. " Full many gift have brought to you, o world, that your hearts are scorning Yet the Crown of Thorns may prove at last More dear than kings adorning. will the gay young prince to his people
 bring
 More joy than I've been givingY Will they all forget, as the days go by, The dead king for the living2 Nay; whatsoever the New Year brings, Some hearts will still be yearning For joys gone by and with sorrow deep To the Old Year will be turning. So fare thee well, both friends and foes, May all your burdens lightenl And day by day, along your way,
 The path forever brighten"
 Dora Annls Chase, in Boston Budget

enough to get into your clothes and wash up. You and are going to have talk after a bit. Had no idea where the boys tucked me away this morn ing, but l guess this is hotel, and I'll order up a bite to eat"
 Half an hour later the high-roller sat down to his cigar, and, as he smoked, he said;
 What want to know is how much longer you are going to continue this sort of business. You've had six or seven years of it, and it seems to me that you ought to be through When young man gets to that point where he realizes that he is an ass he's ready for change. Suppose we swear off? Suppose we surprise the old folks by dropping this high-roller business and living a halfway decent life. Cham pagnc, cards, songs, cigars, and all that last night till you were drunk as an old bum. That reminds me. Seems to me l had streak of luck. Let's see"
 He had money in every pocket twos, lives and tens. The bills were crumpled and rolled, but he smoothed them out on his knee and counted them over and snd:
 "A fool for luck Here's an even three hundred dollars, and I must have had luck, just about enough to pay for wine supper, and just about a hundredth part of what I've lost at cards. We'll, what are you going to do about the other matter-swearing off? Strikes you as about the correct thing, does it? All right. Hold up your right hand and repeat after me.
 ."I, James Forbush, being in my right mind for the first time in several years. and fully realizing that am the biggest idiot in North America, do hereby affirm and declare that am no longer n high-roller on wheels In other words. pledge myself to eschev cards.

Granted an Appeal.

LITTLE RocK, Dec. 24-The supreme court has granted an appeal in the ease of George McNamara, recently com victed in the Pulaski county circuit court of the murder of Henry Gnliiuaa. and sentenced to twenty-one years in the penitentiary. The chief ground on which the appeal is granted is the ad- mission of the testimony of Guilferl and Waite, taken by the coroner in writing, when the defendant was not represented by counsel. The appeal will be argued the second week in Jan- uary McNamara has been confined in the penitentiary since his conviction,

came forward rubbing his hands, to take the shawl and fill the prescrip- tion.
 Very sorry, you know, but we couldn't do it" he replied. Medicines are cash, and the shawl is old and thin and not worth anything"
 But my Tom is threatened with pneumonia, sir"
 "Y-e-s. Just the sort of weather for pneumonia, and most of the cases seem to prove fatal"
 And must he die for the want of this medicine?"
 Good day, ma'am-good day, I no- tice the thermometer is down to zero, and shouldn't wonder if it would go lower before night"
 She had assured Tom that there was only one God, and that He watched over the poor as we'll as the rich, but as she wended her way homewards she had to combat her doubts His fever was worse, and he was out of his mind, and all day long he moaned and tossed about, and she could do no more than hold cup of water to his lips now and then. When night began to fall she made bundle of Tom s clothes. They were old, but of more value than her shawl. If he died she would not redeem them; If he got we'll well, she had said that the Lord sometimes raised up a friend for the poor and distressed.
 "flumph! Four o'clock D. m, and New Years day and you not out of bed yet9'
 It was young man of twenty-five, who had gone to bed at 2 o'clock that morning. His face was pinehed and pale, his eyes hollow and bloodshot, and one looking at him might have taken him for an old man.
 "Made fool of yourself again last night, didn't you?" he growlcd, talking to himself as he lay looking around. "Old man, do you know that I'm about ready to cut your acquaintance? A young man of decent family-plenty of money-good prospects, and yet how ar3 you using yourself9 Cham pagne, cards, dissipation. Going right to the uoSs ol IIlc Rallop. ht twenty five you feel like man of fifty. Health, prospects and the whole outfit going to the devil, and what are you getting in exchange You are the son of your father and high-roller-that is alt When you come to figure it down you are champion fool-noth- ing less"
 He lazily turned over, sat up on the side of the bed, and continued:
 Head as big as house and your stomach full of vitriol. Nice chap you are. A decent mule ought to be ashamed to kick you. No sand-no energy = hardly strength

When he awol<e he found himself in flames, and before he could cxtin- guish the fire his hands, arms and back were so badly burned as to leave the flesh badly blistered.

ORIGIN OF THE CONVENTION.
The Mayor of Little Rock Issued the Call, and the Mayors and Other Onicials of AriSansas Cities rromptIy Responded

and the Mayors and Other Officials of Arkansas Cities Promptly Responded. Mayor Hall of Little Rock, before is suing the call for the convention, wrote to every mayor in the state asking for an opinion as to the advisability of the step All promptly responded. urging | him to call the convention to meet iii Little Rock before the legislature convened. The mayor was also notified that other officials of cities and towns would attend the convention. Mayor Hall, in an interview defining the objects of the convention, said the restrictions placed upon cities by the constitution tie the hands of municipal officers and virtual ly forbid all kinds of substantial inn proyement. All concede that these restrictions have not only kept millions of foreign capital out of the state, but have also retarded the growth and progress of every city in Arkansas. The only remedy is q new constitution or an amendment permit ting cities to issue bonds for public improvements. The legislature, he argued, should call convention to frame an entirely new organic law
 Among the important questions which he believed should be solved, and brought forward in the eonstitu- tion, were: How best to punish inve- niles to prevent contamination by as sociation with hardened criminals; how best to utilize labor of city prison CTS; change in the constitution so as to permit cities to issue bonds for local improvement; whether or not mayors should have executive appointing pow CT on the police, street, electric, fire, sewer and other departments
