Kittr Coco Is Chnrch.

II was bright Sunday morning but
Kitty was not happy Auntie Nell
wouldn't play with her because she was
writing letter. and Bridget was stuff
fng a turkey for dinner. and said to
her Run away, now!" and mamma
was gone far away on the choo-choo
cars. so she went to Uncle Biilie's
room
Cas1e, 9,uls would play with his
"pard,' she thought. S4t, ma. Uncle
Billie was going to church. He was
even then putting on the beautiful blue
tie that Miss Mary Sweet gave him.
"Unkie Bill, amt | your drip" she
Iisped.
Right you are, Kitty-wee.' said
uncle,
But, Unkie Bill, Bridget sayth that
NTH Mary it'll. but itsh me. amt it?'
Bridget knows lot" muttered I'm
Gle Bill. with conscious blush.
IF I'm your dirl, won't you play
'tum to see with me, unkie?" pleaded
the sweet voice. and Kitty clasped him
fondly around the knees.
"Unkie's going to church. Kitty-wee
He'll play some other time"
Me 60 too! Me go. tool Unkie
take Kitty-weer' she shouted and
danced.
No, kitten" he began, but was
stopped by wall
Me warrants to go! Kitty wa-a-
ants to go-o." And she threw her doll
Betsey down hard and roared.
Well. uncle's soft heart gave in, and
so Auntie Nell tied on the new blue
sash and big white bonnet and Betsy
Blowsy wore her green dress with the
( yellow ribbon. For Kitty would not be
I bribed to leave her doll at home.
So uncle took them both, and they
| went with much dignity. When they
/ reached the pew Kitty put Betsy in
4 the middle and told her to keep still
I During the long prayer Kitty-wet
/ grew so restless that uncle was worried
30 pretty soon, when she wanted to &c
home, he started her off, for home was
| only two blocks distant and Kitty knew
| the way.
In about ten minutes, when the min.
lister was reading the text and there
was deep hush over the house, there
| came a little tap at the baize door
I and then another. People looked un
easy. The tapping became repeated
blows, SO the deacon slipped to thu
door-and there was Miss Kitty.
Uncle Bill was about three seat
from the front. and OF course he had
mt looked around. because that's bar
manners, you know, in church. But h
saw others smile, and heard a giggl,
from a boy behind him. Even the min
ister's eyes twinkled and everybod,
glanced at Uncle Billy.
SO, with start, he turned-and be
held forlorn Kitty coming toward him
Her hat on one ear. her curls flying
her sash dragging, Betsy Blowsy hang
Ing sadly by one red leg. as in sorrow
for her mamina'g sobs and tears.
Uncle took the grief-stricken pair II
his arms and Kitty wept aloud--ver.
loud: "Unkie Bill. the co-ow wouldn'
let me do ho-ho-o-omel!"
Uncle. with red face, carried tn
sobbing Kitty down the aisle, an
from the church, and she pointed to al
old brindle COW that peacefully at
the grass by the roadside. She locke,

Speaking Of youthful offenders, Q
Kansas City justice says: II have had
nine boys publicly whipped with a
rawhide by their lawful guardians.
Not one Of them has ever been back
in court for an offense. and every one
OF the nine, is now leading an exem-
pIary life. On the other hand, boys
whom | sent to Jail six years ago for
petit larceny are now men serving
terms in the penitentiary for serious
crimes" The justice concludes that a
Jail sentence transforms a hoodlum
into a heroic other hoodlums, OF
course and in jail he acquires new
knowledge Of vice, so that he is better
prepared and more determined, when
he comes out. to follow criminal
courses. But the boy who is whipped
is ridicuIed and disowned by his
"gang," and there is nothing for him
TO do but to be good and 90 to work

BIG DEAL IN STEEL PROPERTIES.
Wire Trust Absorbed by the Federal
Steel Com y,fi ny.

The Chicago Record of today says:
Federal Steel Company interests have
bought outright or secured options and
stock issue of the American Steel and Wire
Company. Arrangements have been made
for the underwriting Of federal steel bond
issue large enough to pay for the stock
much of it subscribed In Chicago, but most
of it taken by the great Wall street inter-
ests-Morgan, Porter, Flower, Gary, Mills,
Spencer. Rogers and others of similar
Field represent the Chicago interest, and
Boston is in 1t in the person of Nathaniel
Thayer.
The enormous deal has been brought to
completion, nothing now remaining but the
routine of casting ballots and proxies for
the federal bond issue. By the day of the
annual meeting Of the American Steel and
Wire Company it will be found that some of
the present all-pOwerful men Of that cor
poration have railway interests which will
compel them to abandon executive positions
III the wire company. Their places will be
taken by the nominees of the Morgan-Mils
Gary-Porter company. In other words. the
Gates party will virtually disappear from
the wire company, or will fall into a hope
less minority, and the Federal Steel Com
pany will rule it.
John w. Gates, John Lambert, Colonel
Drake and other directors Of the American
Steel and Wire Company will start for New
York tomorrow. The regular meeting OF
the board is scheduled for January %.

Scandal of the Recent Dead Letter
Sale.
KNEW WHAT Was In THE PACKAGES
VigiIant Detectives Watched the
Auction.
DISMISSAL OF EMPLOY

A daring and successful system of beating
the government has just been unearthed
in the dead letter office of the Post Office
Department, and the investigation which
has been in progress over month has re-
suited today In the dismissal of clerks r.
c. Walton. Mrs Lillian E. Browne, Mr.
Charles Albert and Charles Hardin, all
clerks of the dead letter office, the last
named being the head of the property d.
vision.
Briefly the offeDse charged against these
persons. which has resulted in their dis
missal was the purchase of packages at
the dead letter sale, knowing in advance
their contents and falsely representing the
ccntents of them in the catalogue.
The scheme was daring, in that 1t was
planned before all the clerks in the prop
erty division. The campaign of investiga-
ton was planned by the Postmaster Cen
eral himself, who first discovered the meth
DDS. and was executed with marked abil-
ity by Chief Post Office Inspector w. f.
CorCOran and his assistants. In order not
to give the slightest intmation of the in
vestigation, and to disarm suspicion, sew
eral out-of-toWn inspectors We're hurried
to Washington for work on the case. They
had never been here, and the clerks were
unfamiliar with their faces. How we'll
they succeeded is told in the report which
lays bare the entire scheme.
Saturday, December 10. Postmaster Cen
eral Smith called into consultation the
first assistant postmaster general, Mr..
Johnson; the fourth assistant postmaster
general, Mr.. Bristow, and Chief Inspector
COrcoran. The dead letter office is one of
the departments under the direct super
vision of the first assistant postmaster
general and all post office inspectors are
under the fourth assistant. At this con-
ference the Postmaster General told Of his
suspicious and asked his assistants to COM
bine in bringing the guilty to justice 1t
was at once recognized as a difficult case,
for the clerks in the dead letter office were
more or less familiar with the post office
inspectors, and the presence of any one of
them at the sale would mean the covering
up of tracks. 1t was suggested by the
first assistant that out-of-town inspectors
be called in. but the time was so brief be-
fore the opening of the sale that 1t was not
thought possible to get one of the inspec-
tors unknown to the clerks here in time.
Chief Corcoran. however, examined the
time tables and found he could get an in
spector from Boston here in time for the
opening Of the sale, and ii was agreed then
to wire him to report Immediately. This
was done, and early Monday morning the
inspector arrived. He found two other in

WHAT ARE
YOU USING
To Cure Yourself and
Family of
CATARRH And CONSUMPTION
A Remedy that Relieves the
Symptoms or one which
Cures the Disease
Itself?
CATARRH AND CONSUMPTION

That there IL hut one trcRtmen {
which will permanently cure such dis
eases OF the air passages ns Catarrh'
Bronchitis and Consumption. Is well
known to all who are posted in the
physiology of the respiratory organs
or who read the United States Health
Reports.
why then do sufferers from these
diseases continue to eNpeEd their
money on stomach medicines which
can only relieve the symptoms. or on
limitations of this new treatment
which nature herself will not permit
to enter the bronchial tubes and
lungs.
No doubt there are many remedies
on the market, which, taken through
the stomach will relieve the cough
and give strength and flesh to the
sufferer, thus terrifying the body to
longer Withstand the rayaGes of the
disease itself, but Consumption Is
caused by germs embedded In the
lungs and all the stomach medicines
in the world cannot reach and de-
strOy them.
How many thousands of men and
women there are today. who, having
gained flesh and strength. and re-
Iieved their cough by such remedies,
have given their testimony as cured
of Consumption, only to find when too
late, that the disease itself has been
constantly gaining ground while they
rested In fancied security. The same
cnn be said of those who have OBJ
tanned relief by the use of sprays.
yapOrs and atOmizers, the benefits re-
ceived are only temporary In both
cases, for reports published by the
Bureau of Vital Statistics at Washing
ton. show that up to the time Hh -
OMEI, the new Dry-Air Germlcide, was
discovered. deaths from diseases of
the respiratory organs increased
ffty-One per cent per year, while the
reports of the same bureau since Hf-
OMEI introduced. show II rcduc-
fion I'm the death rate of over 81 per
cent. due to the use of HYOMEI alone.
Such evidence, coming as 1T does
from the highest authority in the
land, which only gives facts and hg-
ures they are found, ought TO carry
more weight with an Intelligent per-
son than all other testimony, and
when these facts arc backed up by the
Endorsement of the whole medical
profession, there Is certainly no eN-
CSse for the afflicted being misled.
HNOMEI Cures Coughs, tatRrrh.
Bronchitis. Asthma, Group and Con-
sumption because 1T destroys the
germs which cause the disease.
HN0HEI destroys the germs, because
it can he inhaled in the air we

HNOMEI Is the only cure. because it
Is the only dry-air germicide known
and nature herself will not permit

chiaI tubes and lungs.
