the child's artless chatter, gathered her

The meal was over. Susie had talked
till it seemed as if her little tongue
must ache again. At last, dilnpled
knuckles were rubbing at the corners
Of sleepy eyes, and she announced:

tranquil assurance "to be harfcd and

Her slippers expedition had made her

mounted the stairway to the bedroom.
Granger followed. True, he was unac-
customed to children, but he felt it in
cumbent on him to prepare this child
for rest, and he was just going to do it
somehow.
Susie herself retired her doll-fully
clothed, shoed and hatted--in the center
of the big bed; Higgins assumed pos

WORDS BORN IN NEW YORK.
Originated in Burling Slip
-"Boss" from the Dutch.

BOSS" from the Dutch.
New York city is the birthplace of
several expressions that have been for
many years current all over the world.
These expressions are not the outcome
Of scholarly thought and culture. AL
though our professional men have du-
tifully and generously aided in the cir
.ulation and ennoblement of neolo-
gisms foreign born, the apt yet I'M
studied offerings of the untutored
workman have held their own in lit
.rature as we'll as in everyday speech,
while many labored results of learned
mind workers and would-be mind mas
ters of words have lived but long
enough to be named.
The word "boss," which came into
common use during the regime of Will
lam NJ. Tweed, is Dutch baas-master.
IN the language to which it belongs
it is much used in composition. Thus,
zimmerman baas is master carpen-
ter, and a preacher is in Dutch merely
church boss.
Only few years ago attention began
TO be called to the prevalence of the va
rious forms of vice in what was then
considered the choicest residential part
of the city. A newspaper reporter
named the region the "Tenderloin dis
!rict," and as such it is destined to be
known for long time to come, while
The name tenderloin will do duty sin
rularly in other towns as they grow
more like the city in their notable char
lcteristics.
Porter is the name given in London
more than a century ago to very dark
and heavy beer much fancied by porters
and other outdoor workmen. The word
and the thing came to New York in due
time, and porter was soon in demand as
beverage among the wharfmen, truck
men and 'longshoremen engaged on the.
river Fronts on the east and west sides
IF the city. One taverner in Burling
slip became famous for the porter he

Only One Sale,

There is pleasant little story about
n party of drummers sitting in the
smolling-room of sleeper talking
about trade. One after another had
told about what sort of trade he'd been
having, and they'd all been doing we'll;
but the last man. of all, when it came his
turn, said he'd made only one sale in
six weeks. The rest started in to sym
pathize with him a little on this, but
when they came to ask him what bust
ness he was in and learned that he trav-
eled for a bridge-building establish
ment, and that his last sale was a steel
bridge something less than mile long
for about s5Oo,oCO, they agreed that he
wasn't doinr so poorly after ell.

DR.. Greene's Nervura blood and nerve
remedy is the best medicine and surest
restorer of health the world has ever
known.
All who are nervous, weak, tired. ex-
hausted in nerve power and physical
strength; who are sleepless, wake tired
and unrefreshed, without strength and
energy for the days work; who have
poor blood, neuralgia, rheumatism,
backache, dyspepsia, indigestion, gas.

Greenes Ncrvura blood and nerve
remedy. 1t will make you well. 1t
gives a splendid complexion, making
the cheeks glow and the eyes sparkle
with health. No remedy was ever SO
successful in causing people. to gain
flesh. BY strengthening the digestive
functions, promoting assimilation and
enriching the blood, it causes the per-
son to gradually increase in weight
until the thin and slender parts assume
rounded and beautiful contour.
DR.. Greene's Nervnra is the prescrip'
ton OF the most successful physician
in curing nervous and chronic diseases,
hence it must of necessity be perfectly
adapted to cure just these complaints.
It's discoverer, DR.. Greene, of IS West

suited free, personally or by letter. =

Representative women of our land
are enthusiastic in praise of the mar
velous power to cure of DR.. Greene's
Nervura blood and nerve remedy,
among them being one of the most
widely known women in America, Mrs.
Henry Ward Beecher, OF 40 Orange ST.,
Brooklyn, N. Y, who is loved and
honored by everybody, and who speaks
to the people out of her deep regard
for humanity and her earnest desire to
sec the weak, tired, feeble, nervous
and suffering restored again to health
and strength.
She has personally witnessed the
really wonderful effects of DR.. Greene's
Nervura in curing several of her
friends, and for the good of others, for
those who are out of health, she writes
to the people what she knows and has
herself witnessed of the remarkable
beneficial and health-giving effects of
DR.. Greene's Nervura blood and nerve
remedy.
Mrs. Beecher says have given
some of DR.. Greene's Nervura to several
friends who 1 thought would be bene.
flied by it. They speak highly of it,
and feel they have been much bene-
flied by It's use.

BANNER BUSINESS MONTH.

Actual figures show that August, 1897, was the banner business month of recent years. Reports concerning trade conditions throughout the coun- try were fattering, showing that the volume of business was large and that the general improvement was maintained. The banks of the coun- try share the general prosperity. There were few failures, and liabili- ties were 70.8 per cent smaller than in August, 1896. There was an in crease in bank clearings in the en- tire country of 36.3 per cent. In ac- tllal figures failures in August. 1897. were IT per cent less than in the cor responding month of 1896, and the amount of liabilities 7OS per cent smaller. Manufacturers and mer- chants are preparing for an extensive business the coming season.

FINANCIAL INI 1ENCE.

George M. Coffin, actl comptroller
 of the currency, speaking of the great accumulation of surplus funds in the
 national banks, said: Sooner or la l ter, if it is not already so, this coun- I try will be financially independent of | Great Britain or any other nation.' The Kansas City Star declares that 1 there is ample foundation for this statement. The pessimists who have 1 persuaded themselves that there is absolutely no hope for this country except through their particular pro ject of financial reform ,are fond of re-
 beating the baseless fiction that the United States owes 4,O00 million dol lars to Europe, upon which there is
 an annual interest amounting to 200
 millions, which must be paid with the ! surplus of American products. Even if that were true there would be noth-
 ing in it particularly diseouraging to American enterprises, or discreditable to American industry for every dol lars worth of property owned in this country by foreigners was bought and paid for, and the equivalent in value was received by the person who sold. But, as a matter of fact, this estimate of foreign possessions fin America is absurd1y high. It is doubtful if the Europeans hold as much as a thou sand millions in American property, and there is no reason to believe that Europe is drawing over fifty millions annually from this country on foreign investments here
 For seven years, with only slight
 intermissions, Europeans have been
 selling their holdings in America and
 there is not the slightest doubt that
 they are less now than at any time
 in the past twenty years. The "finan-
 ci,al independence" of England, so
 glibIy talked of by a certain class of
 politicians, has already been achieved.
 The London banks at the present time
 probably hold much more money be-
 longing to Americans than American
 banks hold of balances owned abroad.
 During the recent great advance in
 the stock market, EngIishmen have
 been steadily selling out, and Ameri
 can investors, in their haste to get
 securities, sent buying orders to Lon
 don to sell in New York. The result
 is that England is almost bare of American securities, except some
 special classes of stocks and bonds permanently held abroad.
 When the Englishmen turn to
 America again to seeH investments they will find the people nere ready to resell stocks and bonds to them, at greatly enhanced prices, and there will be nothing in the transaction to suggest financial subservieney to Eng land, either. The Americans will longer carry the securities, nor be- cause they need money, but for the simple reason that the foreigners will offer to buy on terms which mean a very profitable deal for the Ameri- cans.
 The United States mas passed the era of hard times and has entered a i period of constantly increasing pros
 perity, with ample capital for the rapid development of the country and l with foreigners holding a compara- lively small interest in the industries of the nation.
