The new place was three blocks up
the avenue, but the departure OF the
Bevers was made a cause for as much
deep and profound gloom to settle over
the boarding house as though they were
going to st. Petersburg thence to lrk-
utsk. thence to an isolated point in the
Siberian country. The chief cause Of
grief was the baby-nOt that the baby
howled: that was just where the secret
lay. He was a good baby, and much
given to seeing the merry side OF the
world. excepting when he gathered that
he was being compassionate, wnen'
as is the duty of all self-respecting ba-
bies. he made dole. The little girl
from upstairs came down, and. Tpre-
senting that she would never aSam see
Victor in the course Of her Ire, she
went increasingly and gave him mos
dvsDeptic looking goldfish in a very
large glass aquarium. His cheerful
and speculative acceptance was cause
for a further carousal Of tears, and the
little visitor was hailed presently 10
school bv her mother. a short time
aPterward. and while the Bcvers were
discussing the whereabouts OF the 0tnef
straD belonging to the telescope grip,
the cook knocked at the door and came
in to bid farewell to the child. Mrs.
Bever had once promised 10 teach the

WHY THE BEVERS MOVED.
A Writ of Attachment and the Attachment OF
Divers Small Folks for Little BeYer
Figured Among The Reasons.

There are 473 causes which may be
assigned for regarding that boarding
house which last considered as being
in the same postal delivery district as
Paradise as habitation no
longer TO be tolerated and one
from which removal must be
immediate, forthwith and sudden.
Beyer in one night had become the
place of accretion CT siXty-seyen Of these
reasons and he woke in the morning
with the determination that the rising
OF the sun and the setting thereof
should be solely in celebration OF his
hegira hiatus-moylng cut. in short.
Mrs. Bever protested meakly, but her
husband was stout in his purpose. He
would have a wagon around in the af-
ternoon and they would flock to the
place up the street where the steam
heat was and the cutglass chandeliers.
That designation was eXplicilness itself
to Mrs. Beyer, though it may be hazy

He looked about him and saw the
sandy spots in Eden. The Bevers had
never before felt the need Of a bolt
to their door, the lock being all-sufIi-
cient. Bever. however, discovered that
there had once been Dol, 10 the door,
but it had been taken off That was
infuriating and plain swindle. Then
it seemed to him that the apartment
house across the way had sprouted and
grown four or five inches since he had
moved into quarters and he felt OPP
pressed by the sight Of the great, high
brick walls which he had once admired
as a sign of Chicago prosperity. And,
like a snowfall, the repleyined piano
gathered evils. One day a new boarder
came in. After dinner he retired to his
room and Unbiased violin and pro-

next day Bever announced that the ex-

MISTAKE

Many people make mistake when packing away their winter clothing by exposing them 10 the open air on some warm, sunny day in spring. This of fers a premium to the moths which are sure to be flying around seeking q suitable depository. and when the egg is once laid no amount of camDhor can prevent the damage from the hatch ing Of the larvae. When you get ready to pack the goods away just come down to the Anderson Meyer Drug J0. They are the best and will prevent the moth from coming around. Don twait until too late or the moths will be ahead of you.

Merry Christmas-Happy New Year.

1t is an old established custom with
country newspapers to skip an issue
during the holidays, and as we have no
desire to get away from the ''old land
mark" the readers of THE STAR will
have to exist one week without its visit,
and that will be next week. When the
next issue of THE STAR reaches your
home the old year, 1896, will have been
stored in the archives Of time and the
new year, 1897, with its supply of joys,
pleasures, disappointments and sor-
rows for all, will be six days old,
therefore, we take this oppor-
tunity of wishing our readers and
friends merry Christmas and joy, pros
perity and plenty in the new and untried
year soon 10 be ushered in.

an entertainment in Centennial hall
Friday evening, Dec. 18th. The hall
was illuminated, Prof. and his brother,
Harry, were on hands ready to give the
entertainment, but they didn't give it
because sufficient audience failed to
materlalize. Those holding compli-
mentary tickets were most all there.
Nothing daunted, the Prof. engaged
the hall for Tuesday evening, Dec. 2lst,
and advertised his entertainment the
second time. but there were only two or
three present and the entertainment
was not given.

Let the Dollars Fly.

There is nothing quite so essential to
happiness at this season as the possess
sion Of little spare pocket money
There is no way so effectual to supply
this particular craving as to pay small
bills. The debtor who shall fail before
Christmas day to discharge his small
debts will fail most lamentably in his
duty to his kind. Every dollar put in
to circulation this kindly season gets
fairly hot in the swiftness with which
it passes from hand to hand, on its
errend of Christmas liquidation.
There fore we say let the dollar fly
Pay the butcher, the baker, the printer
and all other bread-earners who
minister in one way or another tC
private and public comfort! A clearing
up Of small Indebtedness would bring
JOY as unconfned as when the hungry
children OF Israel found unexpected
mama in the wilderness.
