Will Never Give Up tho White Dollar.
Silver had done all the business Of the

wemhler Parks Great Tower.

The great tower at Wembley park is
again in active progress and is rapidly
approaching the completion OF the first
stage. which consists Of the construction
of a vast platform 100 or 200 feet from
the ground The gigantic framework
upon which this platform is to be laid
has long been a conspicuous object on
the TOP of the hill in Wembley park.
The cross girders are now to be got into
nosition and the concrete floor formed
This floor will be of enormous area, as
NAV be gathered from the fact that III the
center of it is to be large hall, with
floor space Of 10000 square feet, a
broad promenade running all around 1t.
The original design contemplated also
the building of hotel on this platform,
with 90 bedrooms. Whether this is like
" to be carried out at present we are
not informed. There are to be four lifts
to this first stage and two stalrcases
One of the staircases is sufficiently adj
vanced to permit of the ascent being
made by it, and the lift guides have just
been got into position. The complete
tower-if it ever is completed-ls tc
run ND six times as high as this floor,
or thereabout. But only sufficient capt.
tai has been raised for this first portion,
and what will be done after this re-
mains for the future to determine

Alas, For the Good Old Days.

Mr.. Isaac Fieldheim of Westbourne
Grove is an elderly gentleman well up
in the "good old times, and his feel
ings may therefore be imagined when,
after "chucking" servant girl under
the chin and giving her shilling, he
received in return, not thanks, but a
summons to appear before the West Lon
don magistrate to answer charge OF
assault. How times have changed since
he was youth Then it was the custom
of blushing damsels in service to make
a courtesy of thankfulness when guest
of their employer deigned to chuck
them under the chin, but there was no
school board in those days, and servant
girls were not aware they possessed
rights-rights which they now know
they have and knowing dare maintain
and even enlarge
The "chucks under the chin" epoch
has gone, like the megatherium and the
ichthyosaurus, and Mr.. Fieldhelm was
simply out of date in attempting to re-
vive it. He was dining at the house OF a
friend in Chepstow villas, kensington'
where Mary Ann Dolling was in serv-
ice. After reflection Mr.. Isaac lighted
his cigar and asked the girl to bring
him an ash tray. She returned with the
article, and the guest then slipped a
shilling into her hand and ticked the
rotundity Of her chin with the tips OF
his fingers; hence the summons.-Lon-
don TelegraIi.

Changing Diseases.

In that delightful book, "Rider
Grange" the husband of Pomona
gives as his reasons for not remov-
ING from a malarial neighborhood,
that it don't do for a 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, when
if possible, the way will be point
ed out. The consultation is with
out charge. Address Drs. Stark
ey Dc Palen, 1929 Arch Street,
Philadelphia, or San Francisco,

CURIOUS sEDSTEADS.
One Made OF Gold and Another of Glass.
An Electric Bed

One Made OF Gold and Another of Glsss
An Electric Bed.
Although che majority of mankind is
content with the conventional b5astead,
manufactured either from wood, iron
or brass, there exist certain individuals
whose tastes, as regards this nece5sary
article of domestic furniture, are by no
means so simple
Such, for instance, was the Partisan
gentleman who a Short time ago ordered
from a firm III Paris golden bedstead,
every part Of which, even down TO the
laths. was made of this precious neral.
At first sight this certainly looks like a
niece of unwarra.ltable cxtravaoance,
yet who knows but that the gentleman
looked upon il in the nature Of an in
yestment, which he could at any mo-
ment realize if lie felt so inclined?
Equally uncommon was the bedstead
which an old lady, who certainly had
only tasted the Pierian spring of scien-
tific knowledge. ordered to be construct
ed for her use She had read somewhere
that glass insulators placed under the
casters of ledstead were conducive to
the retention Of electricity i'll the body,
| and so size argued that a bedstead COM
posed entirely Of glass would prove a
still better contrivance. Accordingly
she had such a glass hedstead construct
ed, which on completion proved to be
bv no means al inaGTistic piece OF fur
niture.
Apropos of electricity. early in the
present century q DR.. Grahame, a quack,
who made and lot large fortune over
the "Tempie Of Hygiene" was ii the
habit of selling i,ctric bedsteads at the
price of $500 apiece, the property OF
which beds, he advertised was to re-
| juvenate the persons who slept III them
as we'll as to give them beauty and
| health.
AS a NATTER Of foot, these belsteads
were nothing more than ordinary brass
ones, with battery attached, while all
that could be said ~ their favor was
that they were perfectly harmless.
But by far he most curious kinds OF
bedsteads are 10 h9 found III what VIC
may term mechanIcal hedsteads, which
some people OF eccentric habits have
from time 10 time ord red to be made.
A retired sea captain who, although
not actually mentally deranged, was
what one may call 'on the borderland, .
declared to his friends that he could not
sleep unless he felt the motion OF the
sea. Night after night this unfortunate
gentleman kept awake, thereby causing
considerable damage to his health. AT
last it occurred to his medical adviser
that something might be done in order
to produce, by mechanical means, the
movement which his patient so much
desired. A consultation with practical
engineer resulted in the production Of
a bedstead which, by means of machin'
cry, moved the mattress upon which the
captain was to sleep up and down, pro-
ducing in every way the effect SO much
desired This bedstead proved great
success, and the captain was no longer
troubled with insomnia. New York

from ''The Life of Lincoln" by William IL
Herndon and Jesse W. Weik. Copyright, 1858,
by Jesse W, Weik. Copyright, 1892, by D. APP
pleton & Co.
After serving in the legislature for scv.
eral terms with no great distinction Lin
coin moved to Springfield, and in March,
1887, he was licensed to practice law. His
name appears for the first time as attor-
new for the plaintiff in the case of Haw-
thorne verses Woodbridge. He entered the
office and became the partner of his COM
rade in the Black Hawk war, John L.
Stuart, who had gained rather an extern
sive practice, and who, by the loan of sun
dry textbooks several years before, had en-
couraged Lincoln to continue in the study
of law. Stuart had emigrated from Ken
lucky in 1928, and on account of his ma
tivity, if for no other reason, had great in
fuence with the leading people In Spring
field He used to relate that on the next
morningafter his arrival in Springfield he
was standing in front of the village store,
leaning against post in the sidewalk and
wondering how to introduce himself to
the community, when he was approached
by we'll dressed old gentleman, who, in
teresting himself in the newcomers well
fare, inquired after his history and bust
ness. I'm from Kentucky, answered
Stuart, land my profession is that of a
lawyer, sir. What is the prospect heref''
Throwing his head back and closing his
left eye, the old gentleman reflected mo-
ment. Young man, id slim chance
for that kind of q combination here, " was
the response.
A Modest Law Office.
At the time of Lincoln's entry into the
office Stuart was just recovering from the
effects of a congressional race in which he
had been the loser. He was still deeply alb
sorbed in politics and was preparing for
the next canvass, in which he was finally
successful defeating the willy and ambi-
tious Stephen A. Douglas. In consequence
of the political allurements Stuart did
not give to the law his undivided time or
the full force of his energy and intellect.
Thus more or less responsibility in the
management of business and the conduct
of cases soon devolved on Lincoln. The
entries in the account books of the firm
are all in the handwriting of Lincoln.
Most of the declarations and pleas We're
written by him also. This sort of exercise
