been fad with Raymond society, and
this was perhaps the first time that the
two had come together in this way.
The girls felt that, instead Of seeing tho
Rectangle. they were objects of curl
osity. They were frightened and dis
gusted.
Lets go back I've seen enough,
said the girl who was sitting with Vir-
ginia.
They were at that moment Just OPP
posite a notorious saloon and gambling
house The street was narrow and the
sidewalk crowded. Suddenly out of the
door of the saloon n young woman
reeled. She was singing in broken,
drunken sob that seemed to indicate
that she partly realized her awful con-
dition, "Just as | am, without one
plea and as the carriage rolled past
she leered at it, raising her face so that
Virginia saw it very close to her own.
1t was the face of the girl who had
kneclcd sobbing that night. with Vir-
ginia kneeling beside her and praying
for her.
"Stopl" cried Virginia motioning
to the driver, who was looking around.
The carriage stopped, and in moment
she was out and had gone up to the
girl and taken her by the arm.
"Loreen she said, and that was all
The girl looked into her face, and her
own changed with look of utter hor-
ror The girls in the carriage were
smitten into helpless establishment. The
saloon keeper had come to the door Of
the saloon and was standing there look
ing on with his hands on his hips, and
the Rectangle from its windows, its
saloon steps, its filthy sidewalk, gutter
and roadway paused and with undis-
guised wonder stared at the two girls
Over the scene the warm sun of spring
poured its mellow light. A faint breath
of music from the band stand in the
park hoated into the Rectangle. The
concert had begun, and the fashion and
wealth of Raymond were displaying
themselves up town on the boulevards.

never been down TO the Rectangle. I've
heard its an awful wicked place and
lots to see. Virginia will act rs a guide,
and it would be rcal'-''fun, she was
going to say but Virginia s look made
her substitute the word interesting. "
Virginia was angry. At first thought
she said to herself She would never go
under any such circumstances. The
other girls seemed TO be Of the same
mind as the speaker. They chimed in
with earnestness and asked Virginia To
take them down there.
Suddenly she saw in the idle curl
osity of the girls an opportunity. They
had never seen the sin and misery of
Raymond Why should they not see
them, even if their motives in going
down there were simply TO pass away
an afternoon?
Very well; I'll go with you. You
must obey my orders and let me take
you where You can see the most, " she
said as she entered the carriage and
took the seat beside the girl who had
first suggested the trip TO the Rectangle.
"Hadn t we better take a policeman
along, said one of the girls, with a
nervous laugh. 1T really isn't safe

ILLS OF AGE:

In the evening of life-atter the
battles are fought-why shouldn't the

1t is usually the kidneys which first
get out of order, and cause baCkaches,
headaches and urinary troubles. As
filters of the blood the kidneys work
hard to remove from the body the last
trace of poisonous uric acid, but they
do get tired and cause pain in the
back, and unless attended to will leave
foul poisons in the blood which will
cause tie most painful and fatal dis
eases.
DR.. Chase's Kidney Liver Pills strike
at the root OF trouble by making the
Kidneys strong, healthy and vigorous.
They cure Bright's disease, dropsy,
diabetes and all diseases of the kidneys,
liver aud bladder, as we'll as chronic
constipation. They have won the adj
miration of old people in particular, be-
cause they make it possible for them to
enjoy in old age the comfort and rest
they have so well earned.

of General Ergan, the Commissary
General. He also stated that some
purchases of canned beef were
made without his knowledge by the
Commissary General. This bears
out the general belief that Etgan
was IN collision with the big pack
ing houses and bought r~ecklessly
IN immense quantities and without
inspection, taking whatever was
furnished, thus sqnandering large

edge of all this, President McKin-
ley promotes Eagan to full pay Of
5000 per year for the next six
years, and relieves him from all
duty and responsibility and nothing
whatever to do, in connection with
the position, except draw this fat
salary regularly and go where and
when he pleases, while Col. John
Weston discharges all the duties Of
the Office at a less salary. Do the
honest Republicans of this county
endorse this? And can they con

this is no Democratic lie, but from
