OLD JOE, The alalr v.AToHvAN

OLD JoE, The Nl1ir vATCHrAH
From the Pail Mall Gazette. London)
How often on returning home late
on a dreary winters night has our
sympathy gone out to the poor old
night-watchman as he sat huddled up
over his cage fire, overlooking the ex-
cavations which our city council In
their wisdom or otherwise, allow the
different water companies to make 30
frequently in our congested streets.
In all weathers and under all climatic
conditions, the poor old night-watch-
man is Obliged to keep watch over the
companies property, and to see that
the red lights are kept burning. What
life. to be sure; what privations and
hardships; no wonder they have aches
and pains, which nothing but st. ia
cobs Oil can alleviate.
"Old Joe" is in the employ OF the
Lambeth Water Works, and is well
and favorably known. He has been a
night-watchman for many years, In
the course of which he has undergone
many experiences. What with wet and
cold, he contracted rheumatism and sci
atica, which fairly doubled him up, and

Joe whether he would much longer be

his good wife and himself depended

sented him with bottle OF st. Jacobs
OIL, and told him to use It, Old Joe
followed the advice given; he crawled
home the next morning and babe his
wife rub his aching back with the St.
Jacobs Oil "a gentleman gave him."
and undoubtedly his wife did rub, for
when old Joe went on duty at night he
met his friend and benefactor, to
whom he remarked Them Oils you
gave me, Guv'nor did give me doing;
they was like pins and needles for a
time, but look at me now" and old
Joe began to run and jump about like

soreness had gone; he had been tell

OIL had done for him. Old Joe says
now he has but one ambition in life.
and that is to always to be able to

for he says there is nothing like 1t in
the world.
St. Jacobs Oil serves the rich and
the poor, high and low the same way.
1t has conquered pain for fifty years.
and 1t will do the same to the end Of
time. II has no equal. consequently

Rubber Forest. of y.n.ruel..

Along the River Orinoco the caout-

about in families, in forests composed
OF many other valuable woods. The
men engaged In the collection of raw
rubber make entrances into the thick
forest on the banks Of the stream and
then open tracks penetrating the leafy
wilderness. They find from 100 to 200
rubber trees along the course Of each
OF these tracks, although the distance
seldom exceeds two-thirds of mile.
The milk, which is white when it issues
from the tree, is coagulated with
smoke into dark balls, weighing about

No Carpet Beating In New York.

The health board has sent out or
ders to all citizens Of this and other

reason therefor is that germs and mi

OF beating much to the detriment Of
the general health. There are vacant
lots in the city, wherein rugs and car
pets may be beaten until they weep
It must be far more detrimental to tho
general health to beat them in vacant
