Girls, said one, as they linked arms
and started back toward the hospital ''oh,

any reason for being afraid of them. Yet I

the party passed out of sight.

mans bearing being a palpable effort to
appear at ease. They made the round and
spoke in whispers, the custom of most Of
the visitors. Suddenly the red checked girl
looked at her escort with glstening eyes,
and with an audible litter said in a shock
ed tone, "Why, George!" George made
some other remark, and the girls started
hastily for the door and refused to return.
George did not insist very enormously.
They were succeeded by a sturdy man of
some 80 years, bearing little girl scarcely
more than an infant. His wife obediently
trudged behind, marshaling a couple of
faxen haired and pigtailed sisters The
man walked up to the first cage, gazed in
moment, pushed that baby's face over
the glass cover asked if the child saw, and
then putting the little one on the floor
lifted the two other children in turn that
they might not miss the sight The baby
took her mothers hand and turned pair
of pretty, innocent eyes upward and said,
II saw it, mamma.
Mamma smiled inGulgently and turned
away from the boxes long enough to indi-
cate to the child that she heard, and then
she resumed her pursuit She finally took
up the baby again and permitted it to re-

family made the rounds of the room and

A Western Man Wants to Succeed His

About four years ago a republican in
a western town, who kept a general
store, helped his wife, who is a strong
democrat, to get the appointment as
postmaster. The office was in his store,
of course, and naturally stimulated
trade, says the New York Tribune. But
as a republican is now likely to be APP
pointed in her place, the husband thinks
he might as we'll be that republican, and
so he has written letter to his congress
man in which he says: II suppose
there will be several applicants for the
postofice here | think that a change
here should be made at once. | have
nothing to say against the character of
the present incumbent and no charges to
make against her. But, George, as you
we'll know, she is one of the mos. bitter
democrats in this country. She talked
and worked for Bryan so persstently
that think it would be well to have her
fired at once, and | want the place. ]

ARE THEY DEGENERATES?
The Greeks Are Disappointing the world
in Their Battles

The Cheeks are disappointing the
world. 1t was to be expected that they
would be beaten. But it was hoped they
would prove magnificent in defeat.
Their var against Turkey and the six
powers OF Europe was madness. 1t was
the tiny terrier against the ponderOus
maStltt-Seven mastitfS, in fact. But
from the strain If blood in the little fell
low, it was expected that he would make
fight that would thrill civilization for
its daring and endurance. SO far, there
has been nothing but disappointment
for the friends of the terrier.
The best fighting that has vet been
done by the Greek troops was that of ir-
regular troops at the beginning of the
hOstilites. The army has made a ter
rible record. Its retreats have been more
disastrous than its engagements. In
one mad retreat of scarcely more than
ten miles, IN which pandemonium reign.
ed Notwithstanding there was not
Turk in sight, six hundred women and
children were trampled, Drained or 9th
erwise killed, and the majority of their
bodies left by the roadside. The defense
Of MilOuna pass by the modern Greeks
did not in the least suggest the defense
Of Thermopylae by the ancients. There
vas nothing about Larissa to suggest
Marathon. There has been no parallel
to Salamis, but on the other hand there
have Oeen numerous striking contrasts.
Not solitary great leader has been de-
veloped, Notwithstanding the extremity
of the country. The troops have been
thrown into panic by shadows. Their
courage seems to have been more on tile
order of that of Bob Acres than that of
the Spartans--it oozed out of the tips of
their fingers upon the approach OF the
enemy.

WAS WORTH THOUSANDS.
A Poor Man Fritters Away a Coin That
Would Have Made Him Rich.

John Tremley Of Lewis street, Rah-
way, N. j., is bemoaning his ignorance
of the value of old coins. For years I'M
til recently he carried an ancient French
silver piece in his pocket. A few weeks
ago he sold it to John Marbacher for %
cents. Marbacher was as ignorant as
Tremley of its value.
Happening into John Metzinger's sa-
loon few evenings later, he jokingly
rendered it in payment for a round of
drinks, The saloon keeper, noticing that
the coin purpOrted to be $50 years old,
offered 81 for it and became its possess
Or. A man named Claude GOrisse then
purchased it from Metzinger for So.
Gorisse lost no time i'll communicate
ing with a New York coin collector
Negotiations leading to a purchase of
the coin were Immediately made The
collector went to Railway, and when he
returned to New York the coin was
safely slowed away in his wallet The
price paid by the purchaser was So, O00
When Gorisse told his good luck to
Metzinger, the latter fumed and bumped
his head for being a dolt. Marbacher
was told, and he informed Tremley.
Tremley's surprise and chagrin could
not be disguised. He is a poor man and
works at his trade as carriage painter.
GOrisse refuses to divulge the name Of
the purchaser, but says the delight that
the collector showed when he secured
possession of the piece satisfied him that
the New York man struck a bargain.
Gorisse is poor Frenchman, about rs
years old. He will use the money tc
buy home for his declining years. The
coin was a franc piece. Exchange

GREW SONE DIVERSION.
A Sunday Afternoon at the Chi
cago Morgue.
CROWDS OF CURIOUS VISITORS.

Throngs of Men, Women and Children
Drawn TO the Deadhouse by Motives of
Morbid Curiosity-Many of Them Are
Regular Callers.
Four long. desklike boxes are in the
room. They are glass covered and have
,lanting tops, Two extend along the north
and south walls of the room, and two back
to back down the center, leaving two al
leys for the passage Of the people who have
business there or are drawn by that NOR

lures Of the dead 1t is the Chicago morgue
The room is lighted only by dim sky
light, and the atmosphere is chilly and
impregnated with the indefnable odors
which belong to the charnel house. In
those boxes were a dozen white, sheeted
figures with drawn and emaciated fea-
lures, exposed to the curious gaze of all
who wished to see them.
Outside the sun was shining bravely in
thecalm afternoon. Inside a constant pro-
eession of people, old, young, male and fe-
male, passed in review before that silent
group. Babies too young to walk were
borne in the arms of parents, and their
childish faces held over the boxes that the
little ones, too young to realize the signifl-
canoe Of death, might look on the bideOus
figures, the most cruel and depressing
form of death known to civilization.
Young men jauntily attired attended their
best girls and made the journey from cage
to cage gazing flippantly at the corpses,
while the men made equally joCular re-
marks about them, and the girls Uttered
atfrghtedly, gazing meanwhile in admira-
ton at the man with nerve enough to joke
of the dead.
Women with costly fur garments-for
the day was chill, despite the warmth of
the sun-trod about with an air of impor-
lance, dragging weary and unwilling chill
dren with them. They, too, looked into those
CHASTITY boxes and with unmoved features,

animal being seen in their eyes, passed out

solutely dangerous to use outward appllca-
tons, for if the skin alone is cleared, the
real disease is likely to attack some internal
organ Of the body, where it may prove fatal
to life itself
In the majority of cases these unsightly
skin diseases are due to two things, weak
ness and disorders of the distinctly femi-
nine organism, and impurities of the blood
caused by them The woman who suffers
from disease in womanly way will soon
suffer in her general health. Her stomach,
liver and other organs will fail to perform
their proper functions, with the result that
the blood becomes impure. Left to her
self, she will probably resort to cosmetics
and ointments. If she consults a physician
he will tell her that the stomach or liver
only is at fault Her distinctly womanly
ailn Mt is really the first and only cause.
For this she should resort at once to DR..

rectly and only on the delicate and important

Few people know that all plants con-
tain digestive principles. They cannot
absorb their food until it is digested
any more than animals. The Mount
Lebanon Shakers have learned the art
of extracting and utilizing these digest
i've principles, and it is for this reason
that their Shaker Digestive Cordial is
meeting with such phenomenal success
in the treatment of dyspepsia. The
Shaker Digestive Cordial not only
contains food already digested but it also
contains digestive principles which aid
the digestion Of other foods that may be
eaten with it. A single 10-cent sample
bottle will be sufficient to demonstrate
its value, and we suggest that every suf-
fering dyspeptic make a trial of it Any
