One Cause OF Poverty.

In order to learn some definite facts
which would bear upon the question
as to what causes poverty, one of the
agents of Municipal Reform League
Of New York was stationed to watch
an entrance of tenement on lower
Broadway on the evening of dune 2
from seven to eleven o'clock. He saw
nineteen men 60 in with buckets of
beer, and seven girls from ten to
twelve years Of age with buckets Of
beer; three women also carried bottles
Of whiskey. Forty buckets Of beer
and three bottles Of whiskey in one
evening carried into o building in
which the average weekly earnings
per family will not exceed three dol
lars seems TO furnish suggestion Of
the cause Of poverty. On the evening
Of the 10th the same agent took OBJ
servation on tenement Of better
class. Between ha.e-pss. seven end
ten o'clock he saw ten boys from
eight to fourteen years old carry in
buckets Of beer: The better class
tenement had fewer buckets Of beer.
The more beer the worse home

A Shocking Story.

From New York comes the shocking
story of the arrest, conviction, and
sentence for the crime Of drunkenness
Of woman who, at one time, was.quite
prominent member Of fashionable
society She is the daughter of we'll
known general who died of broken
heart because of her pitiful, shameful
life. Divorced from her husband some
years ago, her life, during these latter
years, has been a swift, downward
rush to the drunkard s inevitable end.
What an example Of the power of evil
habit! What a lesson to those who
idly pratc Of the harmlessness Of
strong drink, when taken in modcra-
ton! Can we suppose that this
pctted child of fashion and wealth
started in her awful downward course
in any other way than as moderate
drnkcr Of the lightest and least in
toxicating wines? In the mad whirl
of balls, parties, and midnight din
ncrs, her strength was taxed to the
utmost. How easy to renew her fail
ing energies; to revive her dropping
spirits by indulging in a moderate
drink Of wine! Others Of her set
found it helpful and harmless; why
should not she have the same expert
cnce? She conformcd to the habits
Of society; became its slave, and the
result is shown in the newspaper re-
ports of her awful degradation. Her
oncc comely features bruised in her
fall on the pitilcss pavement; her
trembling fern scarcely covered by
tho tattered garments that have taken
tho place Of the splendid raiment with
which she was wont to adorn herself;
the woman who once was member Of
the inner circle Of society at the
nations capitol. goes, in all probabil-
ity, to end her days in prison cell.
But the wine flows on, and the tread
mill Of fashion still finds thousands Of
willing slsves.-Ran,'s Horn.

It is just as easy to drift into danger
as to drive into it. The progress is slower
but the end is equally sure. It is the
gradual progress of drifting which blinds
to the danger. Men and women drift into
I1-health in such way. There is n
little feeling of oppression after eating.
After time It passes away. Some day
1t returns and brings another symptom
headache, perhaps. Something Is done
to relieve the headache, but nothing TO
relieve the cause. so one more victim
goes drifting on to the rocks of disease.
Young women who are teaching or
studying are very apt to become victims
OF disease Of the stomach. They eat In
Judiciously, in some cases, and In geu.
era1 the brain Ia too occupied to allow
the stomach the blood necessary to carry
on its functions. Hence in time the
Ssgssis % digestion and nutrition are
totally deranged, and the young gradu-
ate goes home chronic invalid.
The timely use Of Or. Pierce'a Golden
Medical Discovery will avert such COM
diticn; the faithful use Of 1t In chronic
cases will eject q complete cure.

COurtship Of Forty Years.

After an engagement that lasted for
thirty nine years and never wanel
John Smith, Of CuIpepcr County, Vir-
ginia, and Miss Lucy Howard, liv-
ing near Frcdricktown, O., have been
married. He is 81 years of age aud
she is 81.
When the civil war began Smith
was in the North on business per.
taing to large tannery operated on
ris fathers plantation. While in
this country be was taken i'll and was
cared for at the home Of Thomas How
ard, near Frcdricktown.
For six months he was desperately
i'll, and during all this time was faith
fully watched over and nursed by
Miss Lucy, the young daughter of the
household. Their friendship so rip
ened that when young Smith returned
to his Southern homo he carried the
promise of Miss Howard to be his
wife.
Smith entered the Confederate SER
vice and became conspicuous and
daring subaltern. He was captured,
and was taken to Missouri, where he
remained until the close Of the war.
He then returned to his old home,
which had been devastated. His for
tunes were ruined, but together with
his father he set about to recover them.
In a few years his father died and
made last request that the son remain
on the old plantation and care for his
mother.
Smith wrote to his Ohio sweetheart
and Informed her of the barrier that
his fsther had raised to their probable
marriage, but promised that should
she be unmarried after his mothers
death he would claim her as his bride.
Miss Howard promised to remain un-
married till Smith should be liz a po-
sition to marry her.
About a year ago Smiths mother
died, and the arrangements for the
marriage were made. During all the
thirty-nine years that the lovers had
waited their love never waned. They
kept up aoonstant correspondence, and
often visited each others homes.
During these years Smith has pros
pered, and is now considered wealthy
man.

A Wonderful Offer 70 Women.

We have received word of a most remark.
able offer which is to be made to women by
The Delineator, of New York.
Taking the fact that next year begins o
new century, The Dellneator offers to distri-
butte $4,000 among 1901 women. The plan
is so cleverly arranged that woman living in
small town or village, has just as good
chance to win one of these 1901 prizes as
woman living in a city-because the prizes
are given for the number of subscriptions
secured in town in proportion to the popu-
lation of that town. instead of being given
simply to those who send the largest list of
subscribers-which, of course, are most easily
obtained in big cities. Another clever feature
OF the plan is, that all the cities and towns of
the United States and Canada have been ar
ranged in seven classes The cities of the
greatest population are grouped in Glass !,
and as these cities are not very many, the
prizes offered are twenty eight; the high
est prize being $500, and the lowest $500.
The total amount of prizes given away in this
class is 81 900. The remaining smaller towns
and villages fall into six other classes, and as
the number of towns in class increases, be.
cause, OF course, there are more small towr q
than large ones, the amount of prizes given
away to class increases, so that in Ca IS y.
there will be $4,000 distributed amonfs col
winners
furthermore, to everyone who fails, to win
one OF the 1901 prizes there will be paid an
extra commission on subscriptions, provided
they equal one out of every two h lndred in
habltants OF the town from which the con.
testant sends them.
Ihls IS altogether a very libfsr al offer, and
one which the famous old De kz lentor is well
able to make good. From our r,oint Of view,
we 40 not see why such an offe needs to DO
mace by the Publishers of THE Del5neator, for
we believe it already has early half million
SUBSCRIBERS. Its strong hold upon the affec-
lions OF American womer has come in the
past generation, from its practical advice
