went inside and through the station tc
the platform. The exit gates were
thrown open and the usual stream
surged through.
The little man dropped down into a
seat by the doorway and began to sob.
He clutched his papers frantically to his
breast and cried and cried as though his
heart were breaking.
Two or three women noticed him and
one started over to speak a word of kind
ness, but she was drawn back by two OF
her friends who said, "We must hurry,
Sadie"
1t looked as though no one would take
the trouble to soothe the heart of the
child. Then there came the old lady.
Her eyes were kind and motherly and
her hands were soft. She stopped a lit
tie and carried a black leather reticule.
Her bonnet and cloak told of her homo,
away out in the country somewhere, far
from the din and clatter of the city.
She noticed the crying child. Her
heart was touched. She went to him.
He told her why he cried, that he had
not sold his papers and that one man, a
sailor, out of the kindness Of his heart
had given him a little piece of wood
that he thought he might dispose of to
ONE periodically inclined person.
~ know the man what guv it to me-"
sobbed the child. He's a sailor on a
ship that went away from here to Cuby
and the piece of wood is a part of the
Merrimac what Hobson sunk"
"Let me see it," said the kind old
lady.
The youngster drew from his pocket
a plain thin chunk Of pine about an
inch square.
Are you sure it's a piece of the
Merrimac?" asked the old lady, her eyes
brighter than at first.
Eyes, ma'am. The man wouldn't "a
tole mt if it hadn't "a BEEN"
"And do you want to sell it?" asked
the kindly old lady as she thought how
Toms eyes would sparkle if she should
give him such a memento on her return
home.
"Yes'm," replied the child, who had
dried his eyes.
"How much do you want for it,"
"The man said somebody what want.

The kindly eyed old lady went down
in her r%etioule and taking out her purse
extracted half a dollar, which she hand
cd over to the curly headed youngster in
exchange for the bit Of wood. !.
"Thank you kindly" he said, TAX
ing off his cap. And she walked on
smiling.
With his 50 cents in his pocket and
his bundle Of three days old papers I'M
der his arm, the crying cherub went
over behind a freight car, and taking a
single from inside the front of his
shirt waist proceeded to whittle out
half a dozen more Merrimac souvenirs
with a dull jackknife. -Detroit Free

How to Prevent Pneumonia.

You are perhaps aware that pneumo-
mia always results from a cold or from
an attack of la grippe. During the cpl
demic Of la grippe a few years ago,
when so many cases resulted in pneu-
monia, it was observed that the attack
was never followed by that disease
when Chamberlain's Cough Remedy
was used. It counteracts any tendency
of a cold or la grippe to result in that
dangerous disease. 1t is the best rem
edy in the world for bad colds and la
grippe. Every bottle warranted. For

La Grippe Successfully Treated.

says Mr.. Jas. A. Jones, publisher Of the
Leader, Mexia, Texas. "In the latter
case | used Chamberlain's Cough Rem
edy, and I think with considerable sue
cess, only being in bed a little over two
days against ten days for the former
attack. The second attack I am salts
fled would have been equally. as bad as
the first but for the use Of this remedy
as I had to go to bed in about six hours

first case I was able to attend to bust

Many women live where there is no skill

example of Mrs. Anna Willy, of Worthwhile,
Sphinx Co., S. Oak, who writes as follows
to DR.. R. V. Pierce, Buffalo, N. Y:
q am enjoying good health, thanks to your
kind advice and valuable remedies. 1 suffered

DR.. Pierce has probably treated and cured
more cases of female weakness, pains in
the back, side and abdomen, nervousness,
headache, irregularities, alterations, tu-
mors and other female troubles, than any
other living physician. His wide expert
ence peculiarly fits him to bring about cures
when every one else fails. He charges no
fee whatever to those who write him for
advice, and he invites all to consult him
free by mail. His wonderful remedy,
DR.. Pierce's Favorite Prescription, can
be depended upon to overcome nearly ev-
cry kind of disease that afaicts girls and
women. 1t contains no alcohol, opium, or
other narcotics, and does not create craving
for injurious stirnulants, as is so often the
case with other medicines advertised for
wornan's ailments.
An honest medicine dealer will give you
DR.. Pierce's Favorite Prescription, and not
try to persuade o to take some inferior
substitute for the little added profit he may
make thereon.
Those who wish may enclose 81 one-cent
stamps in their letters, and DR.. Pierce will

The "Near Side" Rule.

To the Editor Of The Evening Star:
The fatal accident TO Capt. Ayres, and
likewise many a narrow escape each day
is directly traceable to the rule stopping
the street cars on the near side of the cross
street. The same accident might have oc-
CURED had Capt. Ayres and the horse
drawn vehicle been in exchanged positions
while it would have been impossible had
the car not CHANGED to stop, or had 1t
stopped on the far side of the cross street.
1 emphasize the word CHANGED" for any
rule of the road which involves an uncer-
tainty is bad. If a teamster Is about to
cross the street he cannot foretell whether
the approaching car will stop. and he must
wait to find out. After it has practically
stopped he cannot with safety proceed for
he cannot predict whether the stop is being
made for nimble passenger. who will ad-
init of the car going ahead before it is
fairly stopped, or whether it must wait
while ladies bid adieu. Meantime he has
probably blocked the street parallel to the
track. SO that everything is at a standstill
until the uncertainty as to the movement
of the car is eliminated. ALI this involves
Inconvenience and danger-danger because
of the Impotence of those inconvenienced.
At twilight wheeman was riding slightly
ahead of a car. A driver contemplating
the approaching car. slackened up to allow
the teamster, proceeded. Unexpectedly the
car stopped on the near side. and the driver

the car started, whipped his horses onto

for repairs.
cannot understand how any one, except
1t be one of our Commissioners, could view
the situation at, say, 10th and F streets
without seeing that great inconvenience
and much danger results from this method,
which prevails nowhere else except in Bal

Most Liberal In the World.
The United States army ration is the
most liberal ration in the world. 1t is the
best ration for the far northwest of this
continent, whence come the subzero cold
waves to sweep over the country from the
upper strata of the atmosphere, and it is
the best for the tropics when intelligeutly
utilized. 1t is the product of the expert
ence of several generations of army off
GERS, and it is the part of wisdom to be
slow in urging alterations at the sugges
ton of people who know that an excess of
fatty food is not suitable for a dietary in
the tropics and who have Just discovered
that there are twelve ounces of bacon in
the soldiers ration.
But the best dietary for the tropics is a
wholly different subject from the ration,
and we will await with interest the publ
cation of the observations of. our officers,
line and medical, on the notifications
which appear to them to be judicious for
Cuba, Porto Rico and the Philippines.
