RARE BARGAINS.

Goods Sacrificed at all Kinds of Prices
at Appraisers Sale.
Uncle Sam had a bargain sale yes
terday says the Philadelphia North
American.
1t was his annual housekeeping
time at the appraisers stores, 1874
South Second street, and things were
sacrificed at all kinds of prices to
make room for another years garner
ing of unclaimed and seized merchan-
disc by the government.
There were 103 lots in the sales list,
ranging in variety and price from a
small bag of corn, which brought one
cent under the hammer, to a large
invoice O. cotton and paper frogs and
paper lanterns, which was knocked
down for $175, this being the highest
price of the sale.
1t was a day of bargains, and about
500 people gathered in the warehouse
to participate in the feast. Some of
these were curio buyers, some second
hand clothing and furniture dealers
and others agents for larger stores,
while the private relic hunter was
prominently in evidence.
Bidding was spirited, particularly
over lots which held a speculative in

THE DUTY OF MOTHERS.

What suffering frequently results
from a mothers ignorance; or more
frequently from mothers neglect to
properly instruct her daughter
Tradition says woman must sIt-
fer" and young women are so taught.
There is a little truth and great deal
of exaggeration in this. If young
woman suffers severely she needs
treatment, and her mother should see
that she gets it.
Many mothers hesit9 c to tolyc their
daughters to physician for examine
ton but no mother need hesitate to
write freely about her daughter or
herself to Mrs. Pinkham and secure
the most efficient advice without
charge. Mrs. Pinkham's address is
Lynn, Mass.

Times TRAGEDIES.

They'd been parted half year
BY the force of circumstances
And the will of those austere
Jewelers. of young romances.
Il allude to parents here.)
Now they were again to meet
At party, large and stately,
And their hearts together beat
Beat as one. but separately.
(Which was surely more discreet.)
She had dressed herself with care,
Though her fingers were a-tremb
ling,
And three times she'd done her hair
He-to speak without assembling
Gave up shaving in despair.
To the ball, while early yet,
Just to see how each one bore it,
Went these two. with souls a-fret,
But they did mott deplore it
Know each other when they met,

was one of the most successful in
many years.
Even his professional composure
was staggered, however, when lot No.
lS12, consisting of 3,139 pounds of
Sumatra wrapper tobacco, appraised at
SS,6S2.25, was contumeliously greeted
with high-water bid of $40. This
was returned TO the stores, but every
other lot was sold
There were two packages bearing
Philadelphia addresses. One was a
gold brooch, valued at S11.20, directed
to Mrs. H. Carpenter, Commercial
Museums, Philadelphia" 1t brought
81. The other was a parcel contain
ing two silver-mounted briarwood
pipes, appraised at So, and addressed
to Mrs. Kate Coleman, Falls of
Schuklkill, Philadelphia" Some one
evidently thought better of them than
Uncle Sans price-markers, for $3.50
was unhesitatingly bid.
More than one pathetic tale was
limited at in the makeup of lots that
had been forfeited for non-payment of
charges.
On the Belgenland, when sailed
from Liverpool October &c. 1899 for
instance, there was chest which
contained some family's all. This lot
was sold yesterday for $14, though its
original cost probably represented
$3.50. A feather bed, wooden clothes,
shawls, table covers of wool, towing
and other household necessities were
in the lot
And about the unclaimed or the for
feited trunks from abroad, too, there
was certain sort of pathos. There
was one from the Pennland, and an
other from the Belgenland, each con-
tanning the sort of apparel that people
of modest circumstances might wear,
with pride, as their Sunday best"
Handkerchiefs, worked by loving
hands, and crudely embroidered with
Sister" or Brother" fell into the
hands of strangers, and there was one
little Bible, on the fly leaf of which
was written, ITO Papa; from his low
ing daughter"
But Uncle Sans bargain day has its
lighter side, too. Squire James S.
Gray of Delaware county exhibited his
native shrewdness by Overlooking
man with pink shirt and green vest,
and another with long, black whiskers
in fierce financial fight for lot No
II, comprising such sartorial luxuries
IS one silk hat, one lot of medicated
cotton wearing apparel, four pairs Of
cuffs, l. co. Is, one-half dozen en-
broidered h&adl erclliefs,. two vests
and other things, including $50 kronen
in money"
Nobody knew just what "kronen"
was, but the squire thought it sound
ed pretty good, and won the whole
thing for So. Then he hustled around
to a brokers' Office and got $3.50 for
the "kronen," so that he will shine in
elegant garb in Delaware county at a
total cost of 20 cents.
Also, there was a man in the crowd
who had desire to preserve his
hirsute splendor He bought SO bot
ties of hair tonic and pair of trous-
ers for $3.50, and went away happy.
A head-whirling lot, comprising 20
cases of gin-4O1A gallons
with several pieces of cloth and a
box of chicory, appraised at $24711,
brought $155. Lot No. rs, IL pounds
of crude opium, was knocked down FOL
$40; an oil painting brought 80 cents;
142-pound steel billet was sold for
$3.50. Some one picked up 426 pounds
of grease for So, and the persuasive
auctioneer made Uncle Sam two cents
richer by disposing of broken bicycle
crank for that sum.

Mrs. Pinkham in January, 1898, saying

her side, feet swell, and was generally
miserable. Mrs. Pinkham promptly

WHAT We HEAR FROM ASSlNI-
BOIA, WESTERN CANADA.

"Don't Think of Coming, but Come"
To the Editor-The above is the EN-
phatic manner in which a friend in
Yorkton writes to friend near st.
Paul, Minnesota, and 1t is pretty near
ly right, too, when the advantages that
Western Canada offers to those seek
ing homes are considered. The Assiui-
boia district Is one of the best. The
writer from whose letter we quote goes
on to say:
John, if you miss this chance you
are foolish, for you can set out cheaper
when there are so many coming, and l
would not tell you to come Il thought
you could not 20 well, and if you don't
come in the spring you will have 10 go
away back. for you do not want to
think that there is no one living out
here bu; rs. | saw nicer buildings out
here than | ever saw before, and if the
/ country was no good what would they
want them for? John, if you sold ey-
erything you have and came out here
you would be worth more than ever
you we're before. and if you can bring
your team. you can get anything you
want on tick and when they do that
with strangers they are not afraid they
cam make enough TO pay for it. | saw
as nice wheat as ever saw in my life,
and if they could not grow grain what
would the flour mill be for? And it
cost $20.O00.'>
Now, this was what Mr.. Thomas
Fitzpatrick of Yorkton, Assiniboia.
Western Canada, wrote to friend.

Innocence.

Now the colt is gayly skipping
Where the happy zephyrs zip,
And his accomplishing mother
Stands aside to let him skip;
With blissful satisfaction
Now and then he hoists his heels,
And dozen times an hour
Stops while to take his meals.
Oh, he doesn't know that men are ~
ing bleeding in the bitches,
And he isn't causing trouble by his
greed for worldly riches;
Not care is on his mind
AS he rises up behind
And permits his lengthy legs to lightly
dangle in the wind.
Oh. the spotted calf is Juggling
At it's rope, behind the shed,
And displaying wild Impotence
And imploring to be fed;
Now the farmers wife approaches
And she bears a trimming pail.
There's frisk of satisfaction
In the baby bossy's tail;
With his nose he bumps the bottom
and he sends the bubbles flying
And he skins the ladys knuckles and
she cuffs him, sadly signing,
But the bossy bumps away,
Knowing not that men today
For little shining metal steal and
strive and scheme and Stay.
oh, the lambkins gayly frolic
In the seven-acre lot,
With their lunches always ready
To be taken on the spot,
And the pig that went exploring
Sadly runs along the fence
And is sending up protest
That is mournful and immense.
While his brothers and his sisters,
with unbounded satisfaction,
Turn and line up in their places AMI
forthwith get into action.
Caring nothing for the old
Worldly struggles after gold
In the markets where mems honor and
their lives are bought and sold.
