WITCH HAZEL OIL
Changing Diseases.

In-that delightful book, "Rider
Grange" the husband of Pomona
gives as his reasons for not remov-
ING from malarial neighborhood,
that it don't"do for man at his
time of life to 90 about changing
his diseases and adding, that there
are diseases incident to almost
every locality. and he likes a dis
ease he is used to.
Now, in case of malarial dis
eases. aside from the unwilling
ness-of patients to "change dis
cases." it is generally not conven-
lent to change their residence. If
this were done in every case, some
of our most thriving communities
would be depopulated.
Nothing is left to do therefore
but to fortify oneself against mala-
rial influences. For this purpose
Drs, Starkey & Palen's Compound
Oxygen has proved itself in the
past 20 years the most efficient
thing in the world.
ANY person desiring to change
diseases for health should write us
a plain statement of the case, wher
Iif possible, the way will be point
ed out. The consultation is with
out charge. Address Drs. Stark

Eagerness of Great Bibliophiles.

Twenty years ago the bookseller Pot
tier was the best known purveyor TO the
book lovers, and every day defiled into
his shop brilliant assembly nf cele-
brated book buyers.
One morning Paulin Paris, the Mar
quis Ganay M. de Lignerolles and M.
Yemeniz met in his shop, but POTTER
was not there. He had left the day be-
fore for Brussels.
What is bookseller to do in Brussels
if not to buy an extraordinary book?
Thus thought the four book lovers,
and at once in their four minds came
the same idea-'What may I do to
meet POTTER before any one else?''
The next morning at 80 Ganay
came to Pottier's shop. None of his ri
walls was there. He rubbed his hands
in glee.
But Paulin Paris had got up earlier
At 80 he was walking on the quays
of the station, waiting for the Brussels
train, proud that none of his rivals had
had the same idea.
He had counted, alas without Yeme-
niz, who had gone to Creil to meet the
train.
The train arrived. Yemeniz rushed
into the compartment occupied by the
bookseller, affected surprise at seeing
him, and after a thousand preliminary
remarks asked him what he had bought
at Brussels.
The noise of the conversation woke a
neighbor in an opposite corner. The
neighbor was 10 other than M. de Lig-
nerolles, who had gone to Brussels to
meet the bookseller.
Nobody has ever known what book
POTTER bought at Brussels.
But the anecdote was soon known,
and POTTER never talked without smil-
ing of his trip to Brussels, where he had
gone to collect an inheritance from an
uncle.-Paris Figaro.

The Cruel Child and the Man.

What warfare the whole life of ma

" she is far from justified of all her
children-of her human children least
of all perhaps. Did not Plato say that
"of all wild beasts boy was the most
savage?" And is it not true? l have a
friend who tells me that at his school
the BOYS used to catch black beetles and
make them run races the length of the
dormitory. If beetle showed remark

simple), they would handicap him by

little innocent; "God made them, but
he can make plenty more. " That is the
way that nature seems to look at 1t.

EVEN CHICAGO WAS SHOCKED.
One of Her Up to Date Girls Wore Bloom
ers of Vivid Hue.


ers of Vivid Hue.
Four Lincoln park policemen mounted
on bicycles chased little scorcher IN
bloomers today, but instead OF catching
her they landed in a promiscuous heap
in Lakeview, while the girl OF the peri
cd laughingly raised her jaunty cap and
was lost in the labyrinth of streets that
wind out of Lake Shore drive at that
point.
All along the line the exciting race
was watched by thousands, who cheered
the pretty girl and jeered her clumsy
pursuers while the contest lasted and
burst their buttons off at it's ludicrous
conclusion.
The girls boomers caused all the
trouble
While Officer Mahaffy leaned against
a tree he was startled by vision OF
green and gold that made his hair stand
on end with horror. Not 100 feet away
rode a girl with the bloomingest bloom
ers he had ever seen.
The boomers proper were OF old gold
satin and fitted almost like gloves They
came to the knees and were finished at
the bottoms with bright ribbon binding.
The leggings were undeniably silk
stockings Just shade darker than the
boomers, while the dainty feet were in
cased in tan oxfords with needle toes
and satin bows.
A green satin zouave jacket embroid-
cred with yellow silk and trimmed with
ribbon bows of the same color but half
concealed tan colored leather belt with
silver buckle and white shirt waist.
She wore a stand up linen collar, a
negligee tie Of yellow silk, which float
ed behind as she flew along, and aboye
all was perched little yachting cap
greener than the tree that supported Of
fcer Mahaffy when he was stunned by
the giddy costume, violative alike Of
fashion edicts and the city ordinance
forbidding either seq to wear the other s
clothing. '4&s~> -
That dignitary quickly recovered and
gave chase on his wheel The crowd
yelled like lunatics. Three other cop
pers ON bikes joined the hunt, but they
were never in it, for the girl held her
distance, and the mob wouldn't have
seen her captured anyway.
The end came in Lakeview when Off
Ger Mahaffy' forward wheel struck an
obstruction, and he went sprawling on
the drive, with his companions fioun-
dering above him. AT this instant the
little sinner whose naughty costume
caused the rumpus raised her cap to her
vanquished pursuers and disappeared.
The boobies brushed themselves off and
modestly sneaked back to Lincoln park

ments of the crowd Chicago Dispatch

1.-TWO vice Presidents"

know of no two lives in all Ameri-
can history which have been ordered in
such sharp and instructive contrast from
beginning to ending as the lives of these
two men. One of them sprang from one
of the proudest and most aristocratio as
we'll as ablest and most powerful of the
ruling families of Kentucky; the other
was of an origin so humble and obscure
that it could hardly be traced. One was
born at the open gate of fortune, influ-
ence and opportunity; the other was
born in the lap of squalid want. Both
set out in life under the influence Of a
controlling ambition One thlrsted for
glory and power and fame; the other TO
be emancipated from poverty and neg
lect.
The career of Breckenridge lay along
an even pathway lighted up from the
outset with the encouraging smiles of
influential friends and overhung with
tempting prizes, which he gathered thick
and fast at every step, while Wilson be-
gan the ascent of a steep and rugged
mountain path alone and toiled upward
without help, beset by discouragements,
confronted all the way with difficulties
and cheered by no light ahead or reward
in sight. The vice presidency came to
Breckinridg, almost by fo-ce Of gravity,
as ripe fruit drops into basket ready to
receive it. Il came to Wilson as tribute
to life of toll spent in the uplifting of
downtroddep humanity. A Just people
has placed the cypress upon the grave Of
one and the laurel on the grave Of the
other. Henry l. Dawes in Century.

that?
"You fancy that the Chinese are ig

must remember that happiness exists in
the idea that one forms of it. In other
words, man is happy when he believes
himself happy, when he confines his de-
sires to the few joys which are within
his reach. The peasant who eats his rice
at the close of his days work is salts
fed with his fate, provided he keeps his
eyes away from the riches OF others and
closes his heart against covetousness.
The evil sentiments Of envy, jealousy
and social hatred have never yet pene-
