STREET GAMIN IN REAL LIFE.

Not So Noble in Character as the Story

Il have read good many stories,
said the city man, about the honest
newsboy who chases man three

the sympathetic bootblack who protect

gamin who gets run over by a dray
while rescuing another boy, and MUIR
murs, is Jimmy all rightY and then
dies. l have come to the conclusion
that these stories are written by girls
fresh from school or refined old maids
who live in village, and they are read
by men who thoughtfully stick the
tongue into the cheek while reading.
Yet there are men who read and be-
lieve.
II saw one of this class the other day
who went to the rescue of bootblack
who was trying to fix his broken box.

while about thirty street boys gathered
around. One slipped piece of old iron
into his pocket, the grateful bootblack
with bit of chalk decorated his back
with hideous caricature, his hat was
knocked into the gutter as he arose, and
one of the boys accused him of stealing
'dabber.'

whoop of derision, and as he strobe

When preparation has an advertised

that preparation is meritorlous. If you
so into store to buy an article that
has achieved universal popularity like
CASCARETS CANDY CATHARTIC
for example, you feel it has the in
dorsement of the world. The judgment
of the people is infallible because it is
impersonal. The retailer who wants to
sell you something else" in place of
the article you ask for, has an ak to
grind. Don't it stand to reason? He's
trying to sell something that is not
what he represents it to be. Why? Be-
cause he expects to derive an extra
profit out Of your credulity. Are you
easy? Don't you see through his little
game? The man who will try and sell
you a substitute for CASCARETS is a
fraud. Beware of him! He is trying
to steal the honestly earned benefits Of
a reputation which another bustp ess
man has paid for, and if his conscience
will allow him to go so far, he will go
farther. If he cheats his customer in
one way, he will in another and 1t is
not safe to do business with him. Be

There is a broad smile on the face of
nearly every farmer in Nebraska, because
of the satisfactory crop conditions in that
remarkable State. In the Northwest,
drouth has seriously injured the wheat
yield. In the South again there has been
more or less damage, Jut in Nebraska
they have had seasonable, heavy rains,
and not too much of them.
A full crop of oats and wheat will,
from present indications, be followed by
bumper crop of corn. During the past
week heavy rains all over the State have
put this crop in fine condition, and it
may break the record.
The expectation is that. great numbers
of people will go to Nebraska this fall,
when the cheap harvest excursion rates
are in effect, to investigate the country
and confirm by actual experience the
stories of prosperity so often heard. The
tendency is on the part of renters, every
where in the East, to seek homes beyond
the Missouri River, where land is cheap
and so very productive.
