In the dismal tenement, life often
becomes as gray and blank as the
grimy walls. There the simplest orna-
ment, the commonest reminder of the
commandment that WI must not live
by bread alone, often gives more CO.
fort to the very poor than the food or
money which charity supplies. The
author OF "A Ten Years War" gives
this picture of one Of his battles in the
Sums: The stuffy rooms OF some OF
the tenements seem as II they were
made for dwarfs. Most decidedly there
is not room to swing the proverbial cat
in any one OF them. In one, | helped
the children last holiday to set up a
Christmas tree, so that a glimpse Of
something not utterly sordid and mean
might for once enter their lives. Three
weeks later l found the tree standing
yet in the corner. 1t was very cold,
and there was no fire in the room I'VE
were going to burn t." said the little
woman, whose husband was in the in
sane asylum, land then couldn't. 1t
looked so kind O. CHEEKY like there in
the corner" My tree had borne the
fruit I wished.

A month later | was comfortably, al
most elegantly, established on the first
floor of a handsome north side apart

woman to act as my housekeeper and
cook.
Pretty well fixed, old man, eh?'
said Jack Winters, my college class
mate and chum, who had come over
that evening from the west side to
make a housewarming for me. "All
you need to complete your happiness
is to get acquainted with the pretty
widow on the floor above you She's
John Redmond's cousin, you know, and
a sweeter little woman never"
Thank you" | said, checking Jacks
enthusiasm-Jack always goes off on

One day last winter a lady came to
my drug store and asked for a brand
of cough medicine hat l did not have
in stock" says Mr.. c. r. Grandin, the
popular druggist Of Ontario, N. Y.
"She was disappointed and wanted to
know what cough preparation l could
recommend. l said to her that I could
freely recommend Chamberlain's
Cough Remedy and that she could take
a bottle Of the remedy and after CIV
ing it a fair trial If she did not find
it worth the money to bring back the
bottle and l would refund the price
paid. In the course of a day or two
the lady came back in company with
a friend in need of a cough medicine
and advised her to buy a bottle Of

port discloses that the tax levy in AL
bany county for the year 1894 was
1925, a little more than a mill great
er than the levy of 1900. In 1894.
however. the levy was a political one.
The democratic central committee
urged a low levy in order thai the peo-
pie might be fooled into returning
democrats to power. AS proof of this
statement it is only necessary to point
to the fact hat the democrats spent
during the year 1894 at least SIS, 900
more than their tax levy brought in
to the treasury. Since that time it
has been necessary for the republic
cans to meet the expenses of current
years and at the same time levy an
additional SUI to apply on the old
floating debt.
The levy of 1900 is an honest one.
Although the lowest in the history of
the country for many years, it will
meet all the expenses of the current
year. This, too, in spite of the large
ly increased expense entailed by the
criminal class that has infested our
country during the past two years.

OF course, l was installed as attend

morning and evening. When the pa
tient was able to sit up l sometimes
read aloud to her as An excuse to re-

some household task.
One evening | stayed for tea Mrs.
Traine wore a dainty gown OF white
and blue, with a great deal Of lace.
There is no sight so welcome to a
bachelor as a pretty woman at the
head Of a tea table. The next morning
I pictured the pretty widow sitting OPP
posite me at my own breakfast table,
wearing the pretty house Jacket I had
seen on my morning calls.
That afternoon l took Mrs. Traine
and her mother for a drive, and was
rewarded by another invitation to tea.
A reason for such close attention to
my patient was no longer apparent. I
was hunting about in my mind for an
other excuse to prolong the delightful
calls when Mrs. Traine knocked at my
door me evening.
Il have come to o on business"
she said, taking the sea- offered her.
You have been kind to mother" she
went on. "Of course, we want to pay
you for your trouble. Would you mind
telling me, please, how much the
amount is?"
| saw the anxious look growing
deeper in the sweet face opposite me.
How much denial and %privation paying
a doctors bill meant to that little wom-
an, already burdened with responsible
ity!
ut must be a large BILL she said at
last, as remained silent, watching her.
"You-you've made so many calls"
Yes, it is a large BILL" I said, slow
~.
There was a quick uplifting OF the
blue eyes. Il hope" she said, softly.

settled for at once"
My heart smote me for the alarm in
the face that was lifted to mine.
leaned forward and took her hand.
DO you know how much my bill will
be? Well, it's a great deal. Nothing
less than the giving of your own self
to me, my darling, will satisfy my
claim against you"
You mean-" said Mrs. Traine,
the bushes diffusing her pale face.
