TWO POINTED QUESTIONS AN
SEVERED.

What is the use of making n better
article than your competitor If you can
not get better price for it?
Ans.-As there is no difference in the
price the public will buy only the bette
so that while our profits may be small
er on a single sale they will be much
greater in the aggregate.
How can you get the public to know
your make is the best?
If both articles are brought prominent
~ before the, public both are certain TO
be tried and the public will very quick
ly pass judgment on them and use only
the better one.

WOMAN'S SENTIMENTS.
They are Little Understood by Men, but They Cause Her Untold
Happiness or Misery.

The girl of to-day is the mother of flu
ture generations. Humanity is absolute
~ dependent for it's continuance and
preservation on the knowledge and
stamina and health of women. Wo-
mans lot and her relations to the world
are such as to deserve a great deal
more attention and consideration from
science than she has yet received.
The American race Of women in par
ticular has questions to settle that are
much more important than the extension
of the suffrage to women or the enact
ment of national divorce law.
Why is it that there are so many
feeble and eickly women all over the
land? Why is it that not an average
of over one child is born to American
women? Why is it that hundreds Of
thousands of American men will not
marry at all?
have you ever thought of these
things?
1t is because disease is striking at the
very root of the American race. 1t rs
because most diseases can trace their
cause to one source; viz: trouble of
the kidneys and adjacent organs.
The kidneys are the great organs of
the body. but this is little realized or
understood. A healthy, happy woman,
with good complexion, good appetite

much about the man. 1t is needless
for me to tell you he is one whose heart

Renaissance.

When the bell called us to chapel
this morning [ was engaged in reading
an article on music, and while we wait
ed Unused on the following lines which
impressed and pleased me, little dream
ing we were about to receive as gift
rich and rare, at the hands of one of
natures nOblemen, such glorious
demonstration of their truthfulness:
"It is human instinct to be touched
by the mystic power of music. Music
wakens chords in the being and life of
the soul which otherwise would slum-
ber. The consciousness of such wax
ened life and emotion is profoundly
agreeable. Especially pleasant is it
| because it awakens feeling of SYM
pathy. Under this spell of music one
seems to be less alone in the world.
Somehow and somewhere the subtle
impression is made by music that cer-
tain sensitive chords in others being
are in unison with and answer to those
in our own being"
The emotions so exquisitIy described
in these lines were not only most
thoroughly wakened in every being
who sat under the enhancing spell of
the rapturous strains of the music so
artistically rendered by Prof. Rooney's
wonderful company, but the infuence,of
his own magnetic personality and
peculiarly sympathetic voice instantly
brought our souls into communion with
his.
AS is we'll known, Prof. Rooney was
for years the choirmaster and organist
of the Grace Church of Chicago, and
the writer, through attendance at serv-

Chinatown.

Lying just off Chatham Square and
extending from the Bowery to Eliza
beth st., are three narrow crooked
streets or rather what we of the West
would call alleyways. These three little
streets comprise the famous China
town of New York City. To the un-
initiated, Chinatown fancy, holds forth
visions-silk, tea, and opium; and
where everything takes on an oriental
aspect. Though these commodities
may be purchased here, the buyer in
variably finds to his sorrow that an
article of much better quality could
have been purchased in the home mar
ket at half the price, AS for the scene
nothing of an oriental hue can be
found, unless it be squalor and stencil.
The "Chink" population of the metrop-
oils numbers about twelve thousand,
and when it is remembered that fully
five sixths of that number reside in
three small alleyways, one block in
length: their condition can readily be
imagined.

tial "dope joints does fancy paint to

SALTWATER, MINNESOTA THURSDAY SEPTEMBER ID 1900
Let us enter restaurant. Aft

LOU us enCer restaurant. After
stumbling up dark stairway we enter
a long low room, filled with small
tables. The "Chink" waiter shambles
up and says, "what you likee?" "Well
what have you got, John?" He says,
"gotee licee, chop suey, Yokeeman,
shinglee." Not an extensive bill of
fare, but sufficient for a "Chink." We
order 'chop suey" and "Yokeeman." !"
He shuf1les off and returns with a small
teapot and eggshell cups. Good tea p
we'll [ should say nit! Tastes like what
L should imagine concoction of dan
delions and nettles would: has the
sting and smell of both. Don't 90 to
Chinatown for good tea. Presently
our waiter returns with two bowls
which contain our "Yokeeman" and
"chop suey." The former consis is of a
greasy yellow fluid upon which floats a
piece of halfboiled chicken, ditto ham,
and half boiled egg. On digging into
the mess we extract what appears to
be macaroni, but on attempt to masti-
cate the stuff we conclude it to be
boiled rubber. Tasto ?-well it tastes
like the oder of punky socks. "Chop
suey" consists of a mass of stringy
fibrous stuff, resembling no vegetable
we know unless it be celery which has
withered and dried. 1t is never to- be-
forgotten sight to see "Chink" dig in
with chop-sticks, keeping a continual
stream of food from his bowl to his
mouth.
But what startles one most in China
town is the number of white women
one sees residing there. Almost every
window contains three or four. These
are the unfortunates who from their
own desire or through the peridy and
deceit of that king of brutes-man,
have been forced into life of shame;
and they congregate here to be free
from that most brutal and loathsome
parasite commonly called pander.
Sinking, cOwardly vipers all; but a
visit to the Joss must close this article.
The Joss is situated on Mott St. and
is the only building resembling a
padOga in New York. It is a narrow
high building with several sets of slop-
ing caves, such as we see in the picture
of Chinese temple. The interior is
very gloomy, being hung with heavy
curtains. At the extreme end are sew
eral hideous images before which small
fires are kept continually burning in
cense, but which smells more like a
burning straw stack than any thing we
know of, and at all times "Chink" may
be seen before these images, humping
their heads on the floor. But to really
know Chinatown one must explore for
days under an efficient guide, and an
article like this can describe but little
that is to be seen BONES.

citizen who wished to be nominated to
the State assembly. The shrewd old
judge had certain doubts about him,
which he expressed somewhat freely,
and yet he was willing to afford him a
trial. He therefore addressed the aspir-
ant in this way: "Young man, if you

CAPTAIN TEDDY'S WIFE.

When spring came Ted got ship in
Buffalo, went as a wheelsman on one
of the N. Y. G. boats. When laying up
time came, Ted went back to Cleveland
with all his money, and though the
widow refused to take pay for what
she had done for him, he made her
take part of it. He went to Chicago
that spring, and for three years the
widow neither saw nor heard from him.
She often thought something must
have happened to him; and she grieved
because she could find out nothing
about him, for Ted had a warm place
in her esteem. One fine June day of
that year, there was seen the fine pas
senger steamer City of Athens coming
into Cleveland. She was on her maiden
trip, and her regular run was to be
between Cleveland and Buffalo. A
large number of people were on the
docks to see her come in, and among
them was Mrs. O'Connor. AS the boat
was coming into the dock, Mrs. O'Con-
nor looked up to the bridge of the boat
to see who the captain was, (for she
knew almost all the captains on the
lakes) and to her utmost surprise she
recognized in the fine looking man that
stood there, Teddy. He recognized her
and raised his hat. She was surprised,
but before she got over it, someone was
shaking her hand and thanking her
again and again for her goodness to
him when he was sick. Teddy drew
her arm within his, and walked off
with her. They soon got to the old
boarding house, and there he told her
how he had rose to such a position.
He SAID that he had loved her ever
since she bestowed such kind care on
him, and he had resolved to be some
one before he asked her to be his wife.
At first she did not like to say yes,
"because" she said, "you have gotten
up so high in the world, and ] am
nothing but poor uneducated
woman" But Teddy took her in his
arms and told her she had heart of
gold.
So though they were no longer
young, they were wed; and happier
couple never lived. The sailors all
miss the old boarding house, but if one
of them is out of ship and money, he
has only to 60 to Capt. 1'ed's wife and
she will help him out. And so they do!
When they get nearly broke, one will
say to the other, eff we don't get ship
soon We'll have to 60 and see Capt.
Ted's wife" MEMO.
