A man talks about owing his busi-
ness. But, as matter of fact his bust.
ness owns him. His whole life is re-
gulated by the demands of the business.
The time at which he rises, his break
fast hour, the time given to meals, are
all determined by business obligations.
He rushes through lunch because he
cant spare the time from business
to eat leisurely. He won't take rest
because he is needed at the store or
Office. He is in fact an absolute slave
to business. The results which follow
this slavery are to be seen on every
hand. Men dyspeptic, irritable. ner-
vous, with drawn faces, and hollow
eyes, sit at the desk or stand behind
the counter until they collapse in a fit of
sickness, or are taken away by heart
failure. Those who cannot escape the
exactions of business will find friend

increases the action of the blood-mak-

downs which so often terminate fatal

deceased, and that others be sent to

Whereas this club desires to place

Resolved, That regarding this ar

Robbers Read Society Notes.

1t has long been matter of wonder
how thieves learn of the women whose
jewels are most valuable, enabling them
to make profitable raids either by
climbing porches or by midnight burg
laries. The secret, however, is out, for
1t has been discovered that by far the
most studious readers of the society
columns of the daily newspapers are
the professional burglars.
"All the man who wants to rob a
house has got to do said member
ofi the fraternity. recently, "is to turn
to the personal columns of the news
papers, peruse the notices of the de-
partures for summer outings, and then
mark out his route. He is then per-
fectly sure in most instances that he
will find no one at home, or only SER
want, at most.
'"There are dozen tricks he could
work to get the servant to admit him
to the house during the absence of the
family on their summer outing. Many
servants, unfortunately, are sufficient
ly gullible to swallow any old kind Of
fairy tale. Your smooth thief will
express great surprise at not finding
the family at home; he will ask per-
mission to step inside and leave note,
and will discover that he hasn't so
much as a card to pen few lines on.
Then he will ask the servant to kindly |
get him a piece of paper, and the SER
want will do it to oblige such pleas |
ant gentleman. Meantime, the pleas
ant gentleman will lquietly slide sever
al pieces of valuable bric-a-brac into
his pockets or into his valise, if he is
foxy enough to carry one with him to
carry out his pretense that be is an old |
friend of the family just arrived in the |
city unexpectedly.''- y.''-San Francisco

from the Philippines to their homes In
WhitestOne. L. L., report that while in
an engagement with the Filipinos at
Albany Sergeant Fowler, also OF
Whitestone shot and killed handsome
Filipino lieutenant named Marcus and
captured his sword. Lieut.. Marcus
was a son of Marcellus Marcus, a
wealthy Filipino, who is known all
over the island, and who had hitherto
been friendly to the Americans.
though his son was not.
The death of his son aroused the
father to pitch of the greatest fury,
and he swore he would spend every:
dollar be owned To avenge his death !.
despite the fact that young Marcus
was killed in fair fight, Barton and
Zimmerman say that since then Marcus
has raised troop of 5000, and offered
a reward of 800 for every left ear of
every member of the Forty.seventh
Regiment.
This offer is said to have brought
fruit, for every American killed was
found to have his left ear missing, and
many Chinese and light colored Filipi
nos were found to have theirs missing
also, which shows that the Filipinos
are not above making money out of |
