OlC HATS ON MANY HEADS.
Where the Discarded Headgear of the
Average Citizen Finds Its Fate.


What becomes of the old hats? The
"stovepipes," derbies, fedoras, soft
hats and straw hats of various kinds
where do they go when discarded by
their owners? Every time "A man buys a
new hat he has the old one wrapped up,
and either slowed away in the hat store
for safe keeping or sent to him at his
office or residence. As "A rule he says,
Wrap it up, and I'll call for il in
day or two. -
The halter wraps it up, marks it with
the customers name, puts it away and
waits. On the largest mirror in the hat
store is banner with a strange device
on it informing the public that 1--WE are
not responsible for hats left with us
over 30 days" In the store they keep a
book, and when Smith, Jones, Brown
or Robinson leaves his old cid" a note
is made of it and duly entered on this
book.
After 80 or 60 days have elapsed a
general clearing out of the old hats is
made, and they 90 to the secondhand
stores along South Clark street, TO the
costumers' palaces, to the country stores
sometimes, all to be cleaned, refined
and furnished up the best way possible.
1t is thus possible for a man to be
stopped on some chilly evening and
asked to assist some unfortunate who is
wearing one of his old hats These old
hats are sometimes sent to the theaters
to be used as headgear for "the rabble"
or can angry mob" or ga group of Ro-
man citizens - Drivers Of coal wagons,
transfer wagons and teamsters general
ly who want hat for outdoor use buy
great many of these castaways. The
soft hats can be made over most effec-
tually, but a stiff hat remodeled and
deceive the intelligent.
Country stores sometimes take an in
voice of these veterans, and the result is
weird exhibition of headgear by the
sages of the cracker barrels and hitch
ing blocks.
A stiff hat once broken can with diff
Guilty be patched up acceptably, but a
soft hat may be worked over many times
and still be marketable. Laborers gen.
orally wear soft hats, although a few
sport derbies, and many once proud,
stylish hat may be seen during the usual
Chicago street cleaning days perched on
the Uranium of some stalwart wielder
of the shovel and pick.
The peddlers buy the old hats. The
milkmen, the sailors, rivermen, labor
ers and that most shifting army of hu-
man odds and ends which form such an
item in the city's population-these are
the men to whom the vast bulk of the
old hats go. Hats that have glistened
with newness and glossy nap, once start
ed on the downward path, go lower and
lower till the ash heap in the alley or
the oblivion of an empty lot marks their
final degradation. Chicago Chronicle

The Picture Hat.

Some time ago a noted writer an
nounced that scientific physicians had
utterly condemned the large, round hats
weighed down with excessive garni-
lures, pronouncing them "a serious and
undeniable means of producing head
ache, wrinkles and gray hair" One
would suppose this threat of trio of ter
rible Affections would have had the in
Simultaneous good effect of banishing the
burdensome cause Of them all; but not
so. We can almost affirm that fashions
power is more potent than health or even
life itself. Gray hairs may appear, the
picture hat headache" may become
chronic and wrinkles deepen, but while
the dominating queen of style DEGREES it
we shall still behold the baneful and
overpowering picture hat.-Exchange.

A Good Sermon,

Rev. Mr.. Belvile preached an impress
sivo sermon in West Presbyterian Church
on Sunday morning, the Rev. DR.. keig.
win not having returned us expected, on ac-
count Of the Illness Of his son Ernest. He
took for his text the 4th and 9TH verses of
the 9th chapter of St. John: II must
work the works of him that sent nc,
no man can work AS long as am in
the world l am the light of the world"
He argued that Christ came to perform q
mission, and he evaded no trial from the
time of his birth to his death on the cross.
All persons, he contendcd, also had a mis-.
sion to perform. and it was their duty to
initiate the conduct of Christ. Duties of
all kinds should be cheerfully performed,
sacrifices made and the word of God
obeyed
Liberality was especially commended
and the duty of all made plain to uphold
the truth. and contribute to spread the
gospel in the different nations of the EARTH
The disputes about doc r nal points were
especially condemned as they werc calcu.
lated to do harm rather than good. He
illustrated his meaning by reference to
the giving Of sight to the blind man, the
disciples instead Of expressing their won.
der at tho miracle performed inquiring
whether the man or his parents had sinned,
when CnrlSt replleu tnht neither hdd dOnp
SO, but he had been born blind, that the
works OF God should DO made manifest
in him.
Tho questions which disturb the minds
of many persons and threaten to divide
the church, he thought, were often as of
little importance, MS the question in regard
to whether the blind man or his parents
had sinned. His admonitions were timely
aud his exhortation to follow tho example
Of Christ that the world may be made
wiser and better

Brave Roscuers Face Death.

Pottsville. Pa. Sept. 6.--Prompt ac-
tion on the part of Michael Mahaney
and Edward Courtney saved many
lives from a fire that swept along a
row of miners houses at Thomaston,
but In arousing the inmates the two
men met with terrible accident, from
which 1t Is believed they cannot re-
cover The fire started early in the
morning, and the men, who were night
workers, started to arouse the sleepers.
Their knocks and shouts being un-
heard, they started to batter down Il
door, The force of their blows wa
such as to ignite keg of powder on
the inside. There was a tremendous
explosion. and the rescuers fell uncon-
scious and bleeding from their wounds.
The noise and shock woke UP the en-
tire community. and everyone man
aged to escape. All the houses were
burned to the ground.

BRYAN ON DOLLAR WHEAT.
Law Of Supply and Demand Regulates
the Price OF All Commod ties.

Law of Supply and Demand Regulates
the Price OF All Commodities.
st. Louis, Sept. 6.-The Post Dispatch
prints letter from William ]. Bryan,
the first utterance after three months
of travel and observation during the
return of prosperity. Among other
things he says:
Wheat has risen because the foreign
crop has been exceedingly short The
fact that silver and wheat have parted
company will cause no dismay to those
who understand that the law of sup
ply and demand regulates the price Of
both. Nothing can better disclose the
weakness of the Republican position
than the joy manifested by the Re-
publicans over events for which their
administration and their politics are in
no wise responsible.
IF the Republicans desire to claim
credit for the price of wheat they must
assume the responsibility for the fam
Inc in India. A great rise in price
should be followed by rise In wages"
Mr. Bryan says that the joy over the
increase of money from wheat Is evil
dence that we have too little money;
that II the farmers are benefited by he
rise in one of their products how much
better It would be If the rise was uni
versal; that the price of wheat will
fall when the foreign demand becomes
normal, and that the present spasmod-
ic rise Will aid rather than injure the
cause of bimetallism.

Pastors are Home.

The first Sunday in September was yes
terday signalized by the return Of many
pastors who have beon spending periods OF
rest at distant points Most of them re.
appeared in their pulpits and their return
was marked by a generally increased con-
gregational attendance. The choirs of
several churches which were granted va
cations were in their customary places,
and the usual services were rendered.
During the summer, several OF tho pas.
tors found recreation at various gather.
ings and conventions where topics of re.
ligous and educational character were
discussed. In some instances sermons
were followed by brief resumes and dis.
courses upon the doings Of these summer
institutions. Services were generally fol-
lowed by expressions Of welcome by the
congregations to their pastors

"pATENT APPLIED FOR"

A ripple will be created In the local
theatrical circles next Friday and Satur.
day nights by the production of the new
sensational comedy drama entitled Pat.
ent Applied For" at the Grand Opera
House.
Tho play was written by Elmer e. Vance
and received its premier in Columbus to a
packed house and unprecedentedly upprt.
ciative audience. Tho story Is one OF love
and horoism and told with an unusual
number Of novel and startling mechanical
effects.
A storm scene said to be one of the most
realistic yet staged, will bo a feature of the
production, The stage is SO constructed
that the ship reels and tosses from wave to
wave while real wind blows tho sails to
tattcrs and is plainly felt throughout tho
entire auditorium.
Another feature is the introduction Of
tho new horseesss carriage, which is q
part of the play and is utilized rs a decid
edly novel advertisement, as Mr.. and Mrs.
Vance usually enjoy daily spin through
tho principal streets.
