PATE N rs
NOTICE TO INVENTORS

There was never time in the
history of our country when the
demand for inventios and improve
ments in the art and sciences gem
orally was so great as now. The
conveniences of mankind in the
factory and workshop, the house
hold, on the farm, and in official
life, require continual accessions to
the appurtenances and implements
of each in order to save labor, time
and expense. The political change
in the administration of govern
ment does not affect the progress of
the American inventor, who being
on the alert, and ready to perceive
the existing deficiencies, does not
permit the affairs of government to
deter him from quickly conceiving
the remedy to overcome existing
discrepancies. Too great care can
not be exercised in choosing a COM
petent and skillful attorney to pre-
pare and prosecute an application
for patent. Valuable interests have
been lost and destroyed in innum-
cradle instance by the employment
of incompetent counsel, and espec-
tally is this advice applicable to
those who adopt the "No patent, no
pay" system. Inventors who intrust
their business to this class of at
torneys do so at imminent risk, as
the breadth and strength of the
patent is never considered in view
Of quick endeavor to get an al
lowance and obtain the fee then due.

THE most d;soraceful frauds Nv

THE most disgraceful frauds by
the Democratic returning boards in
Virginia are coming to light. The
fact is clearly shown that the Pop
ulist Governor was really elected
but counted out. In the second
district (known as the black betty
in 1890, on congressman, it stood
Democratic 1912, Republican, 49,
III with 700 votes scattering. This
vote shows a Democratic majority
of only 755, yet the returns from
that district in the recent election
is made to give Mr.. OFFER rail- over
1900 majority or nearly one fourth
of its total majority in the State.
1t is as bold a piece of robbery as
was committed in Alabama last
pear.

the views of its subscribers on the
silver question by coupon ballot
The total vote was 20,392, and OF
that number POOP voted for the
free coinage OF silver. The voters
were nearly all farmers and the re-
turns show that they are revolving
against the goldbugs in the East as
in the West.

full reward for it's exercise of the

touches of unexpected kindness always
produce in sensitive natures, but the
voice made a great effort to be as brave
and CHEEKY us ever when it replied be-
tween shivers:

"Put it there said Tommy, as he
stepped under gas lamp and held his
hand to the little great soul by his side.
The cool little hand snuggled confident
ly in his and the eyes looked back into
his own and the bond of intimacy and
warm friendship was complete
Thereafter Tommy held Chips hand
as they tramped along west, and when
they reached the side street in which
he lived, Tommy lifted the thin little
figure in his arms and with Chips hands
clasped round his neck walked into the
presence of kind old Mrs Bloomer. 1t
was meager fare they had that night,
considered from the standard of high
livers. but Tommy was used to it and it
was simply luxurious to Chip.
But the next day, after Tommy had
chummed with Chip all forenoon and
got friendly and learned all about him
which wasn't much, he hadn't q

agant admiration of Tommy! And when
dinner was over and Chip was happy as
he could be Tommy got out his har-
monica and played dead marches till
Chip was mighty nigh to Dustin" as
he himself expressed it.
In the evening Tommy took Chip to
the thcater and sat up in the twenty
five cent gallery, and they had the best
time in the world, and wouldn't have
changed places with the swell people In
the frst-hoor boxes, not on any ac-
count. And when they had gone home
and to bed and Chip had snuggled
down by his side, Tommy asked:
'What are you thinking about. Chip,
old man?"
A small, thin arm stole up over Tom
my's breast and Rugged his shoulder
warmly.

poor old mother and helpless invalid
sister in little Wisconsin town. The
load had been made infinitely heavier
by sad accident to his mother, which
had resulted in broken limb and
which had necessitated nurses and in
creased doctors bills and no end of ex-
pense during the fall, and Tommy had
been obliged to borrow money from a
private Shylock in the bank and pay a
NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS. interest per month for
the same. He had hadto send home the big
end of his small salary, too, each month,
and. what between this and the Dor
rowed money he had run behind in his
board, and was in about as desperate q
financial fix as a hard-working, honest
and faithful employee ever was. Only
the extreme kindness of the little old
lady with whom Tommy boarded IN a
little old cottage on little by-street on
the West side enabled him to keep his
head above water at all. But he was one
of those stout-hearted fellows of whom
the great world rarely hears. and
wouldn't let himself get sour or cross.
When at last he had Strengthened
everything up and had packed away
the bundles of bills. and the. bags OF
gold. and the paper rolls with the silver
dollars inside, and had run over in his
mind all the good he might do if only

scrubbed him up and fitted him into a
back-number jacket and trousers which
her own boy had worn years and years
ago, before he ran off on lake schoon-
er and got drowned-then it came din
ner time, and oh, dear what feast
that dinner was to Chip. There wasn't
any turkey, but there was the tenderest
and best stewed chicken that ever Mrs.
Bloomer had cooked, and the gravy was
simply delicious. Then there were
nice, warm biscuit to split in half and
smother with this gravy; and mashed
potatoes and homemade bread and but
ter: and to top off with there was the
thickest, and juicest, and sweetest ap-
pie pie that ever was baked. And Chip
had two glasses of real milk.
And how his big brown eyes sparkled
and his pale cheeks frightened! What
merry little fellow he proved to be,
with his quaint sayings and his extrav-

Tommy stopped short, so did the boy.
'.Hello!" said Tommy, cheerily.
sWhere did you come from?"
sBeen a-waitin' fer ye," piped the
small voice, with equal cheeriness.
Thought mebbe you might want a
errun' run som'ers."
.What's your name?" asked Tommy,
in an admiring tone, his face beaming.

Anything else?"
Mop. Nothin' but Chip. Ye see,
I'm hustlin' fer myself, an I hain't
had no time to think up names. a lit
tie teller like me don't ketch on very
easy, you know"
Tommy had started on and this last
speech had come from the small figure
as it trotted along. He looked down
and saw the big brown eyes looking up
at him. They were beautiful to look
into, and the voice was such CHEEKY
little voice, without a trace of whine in
it, that Tommy felt immensely re-
freshed.
"And what made you pick me out?'
asked Tommy.
well, liked your looks, and
wy, you own the bank. don't you, an
all that money. an ever'thing?"
Tommy looked down again and
laughed. Chip looked up and laughed.

own, he took down his shabby overcoat
from its peg, shook himself into it, put
on his hat, and went out of the bank.
He noticed that the streets were full of
happy, hurrying throngs of people,
most of whom had some package or
bundle, but he wasn't envious, though
he wished for a moment that he might
have been able to send to his mother
and sister some of the many pretty
things he had seen through the shop
windows as he walked homeward each
evening.
He started west at brisk wall. for
he couldn't afford to ride, and it was
crisply cold. He hadn't gone far when
he noticed a small figure trotting along
by his side. He looked at it and
caught two big brown eyes glancing up
into his own.
1t was the boy who had wanted to

fustered Tommy that he could do moth
ing for moment but stare at the big
brown eyes and grow red in the face.
Finally he said:
why. you see-ahem-it's-it's-n
And here the Waterman came along
and, seeing the ragged little owner of
the face, hustled him out with some
scornful remarks about beggars As
the little fellow disappeared through
the door and down the outside steps
Tommy saw slight figure tattered and
shivering. And then the doors swung
shut and Tommy turned to his work,
with all of his own troubles crowded
out of mind and only sympathy for the
poor little waif occupying his thoughts
He forgot all about the load of obi
cation that was on him and his hope
less struggles to extricate himself from
the quicksand of debt into which he had
fouhdered in his efforts to care for his

Then Tommy said:
'.Well. don't exactly oaen the bank.
I've only got an interest in it. Say!
To-morrow,s Christmas! Know that?''
''Bet dol" said Chip; that's wy I'm

Here the wan little face looked up
bravely and the big brown eyes stead
led themselves bit till Tommy had
finished.

you like, and you can share my Christ

heaps of packages of bills counted and

of these packages were of one-dollar
