And Wnsn't "a Bft Afraid of Dyspepsia
or of Having Bad Dreams.
From the San Francisco Post.
Little Algy was invited over to the neigh
bor's fer his Christmas dinner. and the first
thing that caught his eye was a big cream
cake He declined soup. fish and turkey
and his hosts feared he was so bashful he
would not eat.
Now, Algy, what are you going 10
have?' he was asked.
Cake"
He was given a generous slice, and in an
incredibly short space of time il had dis

what will you have now, Algy?" he was
asked.

Another piece went the way of the first.
Would you like something else, Algy?"

Yep. cake"
Well, you can have one more piece, but

There are now made shoe eyelets that are
covered with celluloid which keep their
color. but these arc much more expensive
than the kinds commonly used.
Shoe eyelets are packed in boxes contain
ing 1000. 10000, 100000. 250,000 and j00.9l6
each. Eyelets of the kinds most commonly
used are sold, according to sizes and styles,
at prices ranging from 81 to $135 a million.
Some of the celluoid-covered eyeiets sell
for as much as $500 million.
The sale of shoe eyelets depends. of
course, somewhat upon the prevailing style
of shoe. When button shoes are more gerf-
crafty worn, not so many shoe eyelets are
sold. but the number sold is always very
large.
Eyelets are made for a wide variety of
uses. up to the great eyelets that are sewed
into the corners of sails, through which
the sail is lashed to the end of the boom or
yard. Taking them all together, the num-
ber is enormous. OF shoe styles alone there
are sold in this country some thousands of
millions annually.

DOCTOR Mccoy
TEACHES A LESSON
The Renewal of the Rate of $3 a Month to All
Patients and for All Diseases.
Given as the Illustration to Garry the Lesson Home-What
he Considers the Proper Use of the Word Free.

Doctor Mccoy had something to say
about Offers of free treatment. The
essence of II WAS simply, that IL is
not honest to lead people to a medical
office en- free Offers and take their
money.
When Doctor Mccoy established his
time he trented everyone free. He
would as soon thought of cutting his
arm Of az of ncceptiD. "a cent from
anyone who responded to his free
offer. When following this for "a
stated period he advertised So a
month. he stated that the - was to
cover the cost of medicines: that his
own services and those of his col
.eague were free. He wOuld as soon
thought of cutting his arm OF rs of
taking more than 81, from any pa
ticnt.
Doctor Mccoy made the word "Frce"
popular because his use of IL WAS
honest. His oficr to treat patients foe
S:s n month. the average cost of medi-
ctaes, WAS believed and accepted by
thousands because they knew Doctor
Mccoy told the truth. because they
knew his superb skill rs "a ply stefan
had never been furnished by deceit

1t Is not enough that this he once
stated I'm public print. The lesson
needs to be brought home 80 hard IL
will never be forgotten. The public
must be protected from any methods

teaches this lesson, giving the people
again his offer of 81 a month and
promising to maintain this offer just
as long as the resources Of his Office
Will permit of IL. that is, until the
number of patients under treatment
becomes NO great to prevent the
possibility of his personal care and
attention. THIS Is the offer:
UNTIL FURTHER NOTICE ALL pa

Ford's Grand Opera House, Baltimore.

Beginning September 18th, Eugenia Blair
will appear In brilliant repertoire Of emo.
tional drama-East Lynne, Jane Eyre, New
hagdalen and Camille.
Eugenia Blair, who comes 10 Fords week
OF September 18th, is 8 very beautiful wo-
man and an actress who has won the high
est praise for her always artistic work. Miss
Blair has been successful in placing before
the public such sterling old favorites as East
Lynne, Jane Eyre, The New Nagdalen and
Camille with such charm and power as 70
be almost unrecogDiZable as the hackneyed
versions that have Of late represented these
grand old emotional plays some years ago
30 popular.
Miss Blair has met with pronounced sue.
cess through the South and elsewhere-her
performances have been almost q revolution
Of the emotional school-in New Orleans
she appeared eight weeks TO the capacity Of
the theatre, and her entire season was con.
spicuous for just such triumphs throughout.
The Washington Times, in it's criticism,
has the following notice Of this attractive
star Eugena Blair has proven that plays
with past are full Of great opportunities
and by her superior rendition Of Lady
Isabel made US almost think EAST Lynne"
had been written to-day. Miss Blair is Of
the natural school and completely embodies
the character she liz acting, she has power
of expression, there is no display OF elocu-
ton, no wild despair, she simply is the part
Of Lady Isabel.
This charming actress has the advantage
OF an excellent supporting company, her
repertoire at Ford's will be presented in the
following order: Monday, Tuesday, Wed.
nesday nights and Saturday matinee, East
Lynne; Thursday night, The New Magda-
len; Friday night, Camille; Saturday night,
Jane Eyre. Only matinee Saturday. Ad

NsAs MORTGAGES.

It reioices the Topeka (Kan. Journal 70
learn from government estimates that Kan
sas liz placed ahead Of every other State In
IA. Union in the value Of her wheat and
corn crops this year The value OF these
two crops, based on the closing price last
week, Is estimated at $l32, 243,125 This
amount equally distributed would give To
every man, woman and child In the State
about $40.
When 10 this Ia added the value of the
live stock, the hay, oats, fax and other ag.
ricultural products, the fruit and dairy pro.
ducts running well up into the millions, II
will be realized that Kansas is in position
to take fairly good care Of herself.
Twenty years ago ii was no unusual thing
for settler In the Golden Belt Of Kansas To
pay tor farm with the proceeds OF the first
years wheat crop. This year many OF these
same people will be enabled TO pay of the
mortgages on these same farms with the
proceeds OF the crop already harvested. =
Having done this, the Topeka paper says, il
is fair to presume that they will hesitate q
long time before again burdening themselves
with debt of the class which has beer
draining the State Of money TO pay the In
terest charges for so many years. And iti'
asserted that If Kansas once gets In posi-
ton to keep at home the money she earn'
she will soon become the wealthiest State II

TWO UNHAPPY MEN

We regret to learn that these distinguished
students and philosophers, Mr.. Sovereign
and Mr. Debs, are losing faith in our social
and political conditions. 1t is always q
source Of despair TO us TO see such self
deprecating souls weighted down with the
burdens OF their iellow.men. We have
watched them with growing interest, which
at times has bordered upon excitement, and
now that they find themselves no longer
able To push the heavy black cloud away
we fear lest they be led To something harsh
aud hot.
The former of the two advises that we
"hod up the flag and tear down the courts"
This Ia what he advised OF the recent labor
convention In session at 81. Louis. We do
not see how the flag, which is the symbol of
government, Ia to float with the strong arm
of the law paralyzed, but We presume Mr..
Sovereign considers this supplementary Ms.
serlIon as clearing the mystery 1--WE stand
on our dignity. and will have liberty from
this time out" Mr.. Debs evidently thinks the
courts are busted away, 30 there Is no use
tearing them 10 pieces. He says: "Cvil
liberty is dead In America have appealed
To the courts for justice and shall appeal to
them TO more" This Is serious for the
courts, but in their idleness they will find
entertainment In "the extraordinary specta.
Gle OF enslaved labor rafting It's chains and
dancing To the music" u sight which he
promised for Labor Day.
II is clear from these quotations that some.
thing should he done for Sovereign and
Debs. They are sick at heart and weary
with well-doing. II Is useless TO provide
them with labor, and our federal finances
are in no condition to offer them a pension
They certainly should not be silenced, fol
they add to the gayety Of nations. Nothing
but popular subscription will do. DebE
says that the people are ripe for grea
change which is so far q state ment Of fac
that the change should be sent him. W,
shall not, in word, be happy until thes,
two distinguished citizens experience at
hour of unadulterated fun, 1t Is useless Il
try make the human family happy wheI
they are miserable.

should not have acquired that country for a

have profted enormously by the disclosures
