himself.
Palette is waiter and lives with his
family in two small rooms on the top
floor Of the tenement at No. 235 West
Twenty-fourth street. He was brought
into Jefferson Market Court

he was almost too weak to stand, was
pitiful. He had worked hard for years,
and had accumulated a small bank ac-
count. He did not drink nor smoke, and
and had accumulated a small bank ac-
count. He did not drink nor smoke, and
his great desire was to bring up his little
ones properly and give them a good edu-
cation. Three months ago he was
thrown out of employment through no
fault of his. Then fate turned against
him. Try as he would, he could not get
work. The little bank account began to
vanish, and they moved to cheaper quar-
tiers. Then his wife was confined, and
there was another little one to look after

every article of value had been pawned
and there was not a morsel of food in the

this city and up to his house He knew
sued against him and that his family
would be thrown into the street in the
morning. When, bout 10 o'clock yester-
day morning, gaunt and famished, he
walked into his home, he was desperate.
His wife sat silently crying and trying
to nourish the famished baby that chung

were wailing for food. The sight was
too much for him. Without saying word
he went into the back room and with his
razor tried to cut his throat, but was too
weak to cut deeply.

he gave him letters to some charitable
organizations and individuals, and, slip

There is more Catarrh in this section
of the country than all other diseases put
togther and until the last few years
was supposed to be incurable. For great
many years doctors pronounced it local
disease, and prescribed local remedies,
and by constantly failing to cure with
local treatment, pronounced it incurable.
Science has proven catarrh to be consti-
tutional disease, and therefore requires
constitutional treatment. Halls Catarrh
Cure, manufactured by F. ]. Cheney &
Co., Toledo, Ohio, is the only constitu
tiOnal cure on the market. 1t is taken in
ternally in doses of ten drops to a tea
spoonful. 1t acts directly on the blood
and mucous system. They offer one

cure. Send for circulars and testimon
