when each shareholder will be paid
in full $3.50 on each share, and all
deeds of trust and other liens and
notes will be cancelled. The Associ-
ation,..in the eight years it has been
running has done much toward Sc
curing homes for people, who could
not have possibly become owners of
their homes, under any other cir
cumstances. 1t has learned people
how to economic and save money,

future. Building Associations are
the working mans friend, and no
man, who wants to secure himself a
home should hesitate moment in
taking stock in these Associations.
The Point Pleasant Building and
Loan Association, is now in its
fourth year, and recently a new Sc

which affords all an opportunity to
become members of the Association
without paying the back dues, ex-

MASSAGE FOR BLACK EYES.
Better Than Paint and Beefsteak for Ob- Hterating Evidence of Fistic Encounter.

Better Than Paint and Beefsteak for Ob
 Iterating Evidence of Fistic Encounter.
 Those who make business of oblit- erating evidence of fistic encounters in the shape of black eyes by painting the damaged optics no longer enjoy a mon opoly of such business. This I was told by a pugilistic acquaintance whose experience entities him to be regarded as an authority on the subject, says a writer in the New York Herald.
 T'Massage treatment of the region af- fected," he said, twill beat paint and raw beefsteak all hollow But it should be applied immediately after the in- jury is received in order to prove thoroughly efficacious. It does not re- quire an expert to do it. All that is necessary is to move the fingers rapidly and firmly over the bruised surface, and to keep it up until the last vestige of discoloration has disappeared. The explanation is easy. Where the blow has been received the blood becomes congested. It is the clots of blood showing through the transparent skin GlldU pIOouCCo ullC DldCh C1ICCG- l 1HS pressure of the fingers gradually loosens the clotted blood, which passes off into the general current of circula- tion, and fresh and properly colored blood takes it's place."
 However, as rule, the professional ''pug" does not bother himself about accelerating the disappearance of a black eye. It is sign which proclaims the fact that it's proprietor has recently filled an engagement, and as such he is an object of envy to his less fortunate brethren. It is the man about town, whose overindulgence occasionally causes him to forget that discretion is the better part of valor, who is apt to profit most by the knowledge that mas sage, promptly applied, will remove the signs of mourning from an eye that has been in violent contact with some other fellows fist, and thus obviate the neces- sity of inventing story to account for it, which, however ingenious, will be sneered at by skeptical and incredulous acquaintances, some of whom may have ''been there themselves"

 In spite of their fears that it would be unavalling when they issued cir cular appeal on Wednesday afternoon to the patrons of the public schools for private assistance in continuing the term to the close os the year, the board of trustees believed yesterday, or hoped with good reason, that the proposition would be favorably received.
 Many of the patrons took pains to call on the trustees and perintendent Wollam and express sympathy in the movement and a willingness to sub scribe the tuition mentioned in the circular.
 But as THE REPUBLICAN announced yesterday. at least 50 per cent of the present attendance must be main- tained. The trustees believe they will be able to give out tomorrow that the necessary figure has been reached
 Undoubtedly many parents will be unable to subscribe on account of ab- solute lack of funds, but none, so far, have been interviewed who oppose the extraordinary proposal on principle.

Rubbers for Dogs.

Rubbers for dogs are the newest products of civilization. The street car companies strew salt to melt the snow and this makes the feet of dogs sore But these canine rubbers are high priced and each dog needs two pair. In the Arctic zone the toes of dogs that are used to pull sleds are protected by a sort of leather toe piece fastened with thongs.
