how a short time ago some poor girl
was going around from piano to piano
asking you to just tell them that you
saw her? don't know when my SYM
pathies have been so aroused, although
l must say I admired her ingenious
way of advertising. When she desired
to have somebody told something, she
did not content herself with putting a
personal in the paper, saying that a GER
tain party would learn something to his
advantage by communicating with X.
Y. T., this office. No, sir. She sat down
and sang it. She put it into the piano
wagons and had it announced from the
bargain counters in all music stores.
What's the result? Somebody's told
EN- that they saw her, and now she's
satisfied. Nobody's heard a word from
her for six months. Then there was an
other one who kept saying take back
your gold She persisted until finally,
l suppose, some one took the gold back
and set her mind easy. 1t didn't take
nearly SO long as in the former instance,
which goes to show what a sordid world
this is. Just telling somebody that they
saw her was a trifling favor, such as
one might ask from a total stranger.
But there was no money in it, and it
seemed to be neglected, while a request
to take back gold was attended to with
the utmost promptness. But there's one
thing that puzzles me-" he went on in

Still More Counterfeiting

The secret service has unearthed an
other band of countcrfeiters and secured
a large quantity of bogus bills, which
are so cleverly executed that the aver
age person would never suspect them of
being spurious. Things of great value
are always selected by counterfeiters
for imitation, notably the celebrated
Hostetter's Stomach Bitters, which has
many imitators, but no equal for in
digestion. dyspepsia, constipation, ner-
vousncss and general debility. The
Bitters sets things right in the shom-
ach, and when the stomach is in good
order it makes good blood and plenty of
it. In this manner the Bitters get at
the seat of strength and vitality, and
restore vigor to the weak and debili-
tated. Beware of ceunterfeits when

NO FRIEND LIKE THE OLD FRIEND.

There is 10 friend like the old friend to make
the fond heart bleed
When he meets you with a supercilious air
And his glancing eye assures you that he
knows you're gone to seed
And It's no more use for him to treat you
fair.
Oh, his fine affected tone
AS he talks with you alone
And the patronizing cadence of his voice.
For the fool can scarce construe
The subjective strength in you
Or he would not so pretentiously rejoice.
There is no friend like the old friend to make
the fond heart sad
AS he turns away his head to see you not,
Forgetting all the favors from your hands that
he has had
IT'S so rich to cut you dead upon the spot.
Oh, his blank and stony glare,
Shot straight up into the air
And the dignified demeanor Of his backl
All, fool, beyond the days
OF his hypocritic praise,
Now dark Nemesis to call upon his trackl
There is no friend like the old friend to make
the heart rejoice
When he grabs your toll hard hand and hugs
it tight,
The old ring and the true ring in his we'll re.
membered voice,
While his eyes are filled with manifest de-
light,
For he greets you with a shout,
Stimulation all left out,
A hearty friend. a lifelong friend, pure
gold,
And he holds you long and late
With q force as strong as fate
The bond OF faithful friendship grand and
old.
There is no friend like the old friend to drive
dull care away,
To lift the laden breast and make 1t stout.
Like a burst OF summer sunshine his presence
glads the day
And puts the DEVILS blue to utter rout,
For what's the odds to him
If your prospects yet are dim
And the binding Of your vest is worn and
frayedP
Like a rock he stands by you
With a friendship warm and true
And a faithful sense of honor unbetrayed.
