LAR2YS SONG IN THE RAIN.
It Was Sunshine to the Little Cripple at

World. The sun had not shOne for no
one knew how long and the sky seemed
. be growing heavier, with a surplus
weight Of storm. Tie wind would burst
into the alley and shake the skeleton
tenement houses until i seemed as if
they would cave in at almost any mo-
ment. There was not drearier slop-
pier or windier place to be found that
day thai kelleys alley. But high and
clear above the storm rang voice
flooded with melody. 1t was a mans
voice, such as GOO had given him and
such IS Conservatives wot not of. He
did not seem to nlind the weather,
though the rain drcnched him. the
wind cut through his raegr c,othesand
the dull heavens never daunted him.
1t was Larry the Lark-at least that
is what the alley children called him.
He had been coming every morning
lately and sung such beautiful things
about sunshine girls, poverty rows and
mothers who were ladies that his
breakfast donation in Kelley's alley
would have been equal to a feast day TO
the family on the top floor. rear. The
storm increased, but Larry grinned I'D
at the windows and his CHEEKY voice
mounted higher and higher, until you
would have almost thought the sun
shone. And just then the song ceased.
The big blue-coated, brass buttoned
terror Of helleys alley appeared. He
walked UP to Larry, caught him by the
collar and marched him unceramoni-

Deafness Cannot be Cured

by local applications as they cannot
reach the diseased portion of the
ear. There is only one way to cure
deafness, aud that is caused by con
stitutiOnal remedies. Deafness is
caused by an inHamed condition of
the mucous lining of the eustachian
tube. When this tube is inAamed
you have a rumbliug sound or inn
perfect hearing, and when it is en-
tirely closed, deafness is the result,
and unless the inflammation can be
taken out and this tube restored to
its normal condition, hearing will be
destroyed forever; nine cases out of
ten are caused by catarrh, which is
nothing but an inhamed condition
of the mucous surfaces.

a paradoxical novelty now seeking
favor. Colonel Humbert, Of the

patentee of this new weapon, and
the experiments of the HOtchkiss
Gun Company are said to be most
promising. In some wonderful
manner, not evident to the novice,
the inventor contrives that the
mouth of the gun shall shut auto
matically at the instance the charge
emerges. Thus the flame, cOmbus-
ton and smoke are successfully
bottled up. Thus announces the
London standard, and it may be
true, as we nowadays hesitate to
marvel at new wonders. Doubt
less. if this invention proves to ful-
fill the promises of its inventor, it
will be applied to small arms also.

BELLE STARR
Interesting Experience Of a Promi-
nent Judge with the Noted
Woman Spy.

In Sundays Republic is a graphic
story of Nina Diaz, the famous Gu
ban woman spy and Others Of like
ilk, and the following concerning
the woman so well known to the
people of this section:
The most distinguished spy in
this country was the notorious
Belle Starr, a woman who accom-
plished by daredevil methods what
her European sisters did by meth
ods of fneSse. Belle Star was a
member Of the famous Starr gang
Of outlaws, which for years infested
Southern Texas. Iu the Civil War
she proved her talent for ferreting
out secrets Of the South and was
regularly employed as a spy by the
Union officers. 1t was a life that
lust suited the redoubtable Belle,
and after the war it was not long
before she went into the horse
stealing business on her own ac-
count.
Belle Star was shot off her horse
not so long ago. Spy outlaw and
bandit though she was, many good
stories are told of her. She rode
about the country always in mans
attire. One evening she landed at
Muscogee, 1. T., and went to the
only hotel in the place. Nobody
knew her, but everybody was in awe
of her. The little inn was crowded
and Belle was assigned a room with
prominent legal man, who lives IN
the Territory who has often told
the story. The man had no idea
that his companion was woman
They sat up until way in the night
talking about the depcedations oil
the Starr gang and the intrepidlty
of Belle Starr. The Judge was Bit
ter in his denunciation, declaring
| that he regarded her as the incar-
nation of all that was devilish in q
woman.
NOW, l have a sum of money un'
der my pillow" he said to his COM
panion, "and l am sure that if she
and her accompHces knew anything
about it, they'd be here before
morning for it. And they'd get it,
too. There's no use defending
yourself against any Of them"
In the morning when the Judge
awoke he found his companion al
ready up and stirring.
"Tm off early, Judge, said the
latter, "Now look under your pillow
and see that your money is all right
and then Tn leave. And just please
remember that the notorious Belle
Starr, the terror of the Territory
has been your roommate"
The Judge was dumfOunded, but
he found his money intact and has
often since told the story of his ac'
quaintance with Belle Starr.

If a man has a $2 bull pup, he
would look after it carefully and
not let him be around all over town.
But if he has a boy it is different.
He is turned loose at an early age
to go to the devil, and then the
people wonder where the army of
tramps, buns, loafers, dead beats
and gamblers come from each de-
cade. They are terminated from
the poor seed gathered from our
homes and sowed broadcast on our

your boy is making a growth in that
direction. At all events the boy
