"A "deaf and dumb" vender of court
plaster did business in this city the past
few days in order to get money to pay his
car fare to Chicago. One of the gentle
men who took pity on him and pur-
chased, happened in restaurant and
found the "deaf and dumb" man ENJOYING

Marble playing by the small boys as
seen on the public streets of late is rapid
ly degenerating into various forms of
gambling that cannot help but exert an
evil influence on the coming generation,
says an exchange. But we can't agree
with the suggestion. The boy who "gets
there" IN a marble or any other boys
game, may seem little fast or "fresh"
for his years, but as a general rulo he
studies down about the right time and
becomes the hustler of his generation.
The bad boys are not always the bad
men, neither does the good boy always
turn out the good man.

Co., which will be a record breaker in
the display of elegant new spring milli-
merry, and it should be remembered that
this firm not only handles the latest New
York and Paris styles in hats and trim
mings, but their prices are much lower
than the same goods can be bought for
in the cities. 1t
