IN THE POWER OF FOOTBALLS.

Kansas City, Mo, Dec. 29.-That
the police are totally unable to cope
with the present reign of the foot
pad is shown by the increased bold
ness with which crime is committed
ia Kansas City. Hold ups, roberies
and burglaries are nightly occur
ances, and the present police force
seems to be able only to suppress
the news Of them. They have clews
without number, sometimes they
have descriptions of the nalefactors
bat it is the exception rather than
the rule il one Of them is captured.
Last night the young wife of
Clyde Cleland was held up and

worth of goods. There are several
other instances OF open outlawry in

In both cases perception of light
was first tested by holding . lamp
before the children in dark room,
aud il was found that the light was
visible by the children following it's
movements. 1t was also found on
examination of both cases that the
lens of the eyes had failed t. develop,
and that the N 4mbraneoua sack
which surrounds the normal lens
had gathered in white film over
the eye.
In the operation this film was
entirely removed, aud although the
eyes are without lens, as soon as
the children grow older and their
eyes stronger the lens will be sup
piled artifcially by glasses, aud in
this manner perfect sight given
them. The operation admits light
to the eyes, and the artificial lens
gives them power to see.

statement Dir. Bland emphasized
with a broad sweep of the hand;
the gold standard is too narrow
for this magnificent country" MIR.
Bland continued in answer to fur
Their question. The Gage bill is

policy and with Major McKinley's
administration They ought to

As is his custom, Mr.. Bland is

regular in his attendance on the

generally from his desk, near the

CHAMP CLARK HIGHLY PLEASED.
Congressman Champ Clark is no
less enthusiastic over the democratic
outlook than his colleague from Leb
anon. He says:
The prospects are that the demo-
Gratis will capture the congressman
in every district next year that did
not have at least 5000 republican
majority last time. That would
give US anywhere from so to 100
majority in the next house. Mis-
souri, will send at least fourteen dem
ocrats to congress next time.
The silver sentiment, instead of
dying out, is increasing everywhere.
We will not only reaffirm but re.
adopt the Chicago platform, word
for word, and renominate Bryan in
1900. With him we will put some
man like Joseph G. Sibley, of Penn
sylvania, whose fealty to the cause
cannot be questioned and whose
ability will be Of service in the cam

Walking Erect.

Very few persons walk well. The
little girl of six summers, with her
pretty new dress on, walks as straight
and elegantly as ever she will. Her
little feet are thrown forward with an
elasticity peculiar to that age. The
little girl of thirteen begins to be
careless, bends her back forward, and
goes diving into the school room as If
she were going to swim. At sixteen
she steps along with short steps, strik
ing her heels hard on the floor, with
a don't-care-for-anybody sort of walk.
At eighteen she thinks more of gait,
and tries to recall that of her earlier
childhood. The boy of eleven, with
his new thick boots, plants his foot
like a soldier, and never knows that
his boots disturb anybody. Many
children are taught at home and at
school to walk on their toes. This
will do in a sick room, when one has
squeaking shoes, but it is not natural
or elegant. Put the heels down light
ly at first, and the toes last; this
keeps the body erect instead of bend
ing the body forward as a person
must bend who walks on his toes.

Sisters, Yet No Kin.

New York Mail and Express: A
little girl with a large mathematical
bump recently startled her mother,
who is patron of the Children of the
American Revolution, with the ques-
ton: "Can two girls be sisters who
have different parents?" When the
mother said mo, of course not" the
youngster proceeded: 'If girl mar
rles man who has a sister, the two
become sisters-in-law or half sisters,
don't they?" Yes" Then, IL her
brother marries that girl they become
half sisters a second time, don't they?"
The parent acquiesced and the little
one replied, VIGOROUSLY: We'll, twice
one-half is one, therefore they become
whole sisters"

A GREAT REMEDY.
Greatly Tested.
Greatly Recommended.

The loss of the hair is one of the most
serious losses woman can undergo.
Beautiful hair gives many a woman a
claim to beauty which would be utterly
wanting If the locks were short and
scanty. II is almost as serious a loss when
the natural hue of the hair begins to fade,
aud the shining tresses of chestnut and
auburn are changed to gray or to faded
shadow of their former brightness. Such
loss is no longer a necessity. There is
one remedy which may we'll be called a
great remedy by reason of its great sue
cess in stopping the falling of the hair,
cleansing the scalp of dandruff, aud re-
storing the lost color to gray or faded
tresses. DR.. Ayers Hair Vigor is a stand
ard and reliable preparation, in use in
thousands of homes, aud recon- mended by
everyone who has tested il and expert
enced the remarkable results that follow
its use. 1t makes hair grow II restores
the original color to hair that has turned
gray or faded out. It stops hair from fall
ing, cleanses the scalp Of dandruf, and
gives the hair a thickness and gloss that
no other preparation can produce.
