The Poor Little Fellow.

The street Arab lives by his wits, If
he lives at all well. Two youngsters
who peddle cough drops on Chestnut
street have learned this thoroughly.
One Of these boys is much larger than
the other, and crowd was attracted
to the corner Of Ninth and Chestnut
streets the other day to see the big
boy pummeling the little boy. At the
proper time the big one disappeared,
leaving the little one surrounded by
sympathetic onlookers. Several per-
sons, plying the poor little fellow"
gave him nickels and pennies.
The sequel showed that the poor lit
tie fellow was in league with his sup
posed tormentor. No sooner had the
crowd dispersed than the big boy came
along for his divvy. The scene was re-
peated several times, always with the
same result.-Philadelphi Times.

DIAMOND BACK TERRAPIN.
Formerly Despfsed. They Are Now
Considered a DeIicncN.


Considered n DeIicacy.
Half century or so ago diamond
back terrapin were fed to slaves and
hogs. Today they are the rarest deli
cacy known to the epicurian world,
says the Philadelphia North American.
Then they sold for 81 barrel, and
laborers, when hiring out, specified
that they must not be compelled to eat
terrapin more than twice week. To
day barrel Is cheap at $500, and mil
honaires travel hundreds of miles for
cious of all meats.
OF course this means genuine dia-
mond backs. There are many imita-
lions.
Every first class restaurant in the
country features ''terrapin a la Mary
land on its menu, but in not one case
out Of a hundred is the real terrapn
served. The diner regales himself on
what he believes to be Maryland's
choicest dish. Instead he is merely
eating fresh water turtles, "sliders" or
North Carolina goldens."
The reason is simple. Restaurateurs
don't serve real diamond backs be-
cause they can't get them. The worlds
total terrapin population does not ex-
coed $4,000 of legal size, and these are
confined to the shores of the Chesa-
peake bay, the only place that produces
them.
Baltimore, Philadelphia and New
York enjoy a monopoly. These three
cities get practically the entire output,
but few ever find their way across the
Blue Ridge. The epicure unfortunate
enough to be born in Chicago or st.
Louis must either come east or forego
the joys of terrapin.
To select real diamond back anna
teurs should be guided by these distin-
gushing and characteristic markings:
1t Is Of a greenish, dark olive color,
sometimes running to spotted gray,
yellow on the plate which surrounds
the shell and has concentric dark
stripes along the plate on both shells.
The sides OF the head are dirty white,
sprinkled with small black spots. The
bottom shell is Of whitish yellow.
The males are much larger than the
females and have the concentric streaks
much better defined. The female has
the more delicate flesh. The male can
be distinguished by his toe nails, which
are much longer than those of the fe-
male.

Scientific treatment and much skill are
required to remove smallpox pittings
successfully. This treatment is given
by a masseuse, but massage is not
used, as it would never remove the
pittings The process requires a care
full removing, little by little, of old Gu
ticle. The new, which takes the place,
is smoother than its predecessor and
requires about ten days for treatment.
Thus, after a couple or more treat
ments and in comparatively short
time the deepest scars are replaced by
perfectly smooth skin.

Kidney trouble causes quick or unsteady
heart beats, and makes one feel as though
they had heart trouble, because the heart is
over-working in pumping thick, kidney
poisoned blood through veins and arteries.

troubles were to be traced to the kidneys,
but now modern science proves that nearly
all constitutional diseases have their begin

Q
OWAS even the dewy fields were green,
On every blade the pearls do hang;
The Zephyrs wantond round the bean,
And bore its fragrant sweets alang:
In every glen the mavis sang,
All nature listening seemd the while,
Except where greenwood echoes rang,
Amang the braes O. BaloChmyle.
With careless step onward stray'd,
My heart rejoic'd in natures JOY,
When musng in lonely glade,
A maiden fair | chanc'd to spy;
Her look was like the mornings eye,
Her hair like natures vernal smile,
Perfection whispered passing by,
Behold the lass O. Ballochmyle
Fair is the morn in howery May,
And sweet is night in Autumn mild,
When rowing thro' the garden gay,
Or wandering in a lonely wild:
But Woman, Natures darling child
There all her charms she does compile;
Ev'n there her other works are fold
By the bonnie lass O. Ballochmyle.
O, had she been a country maid,
And the happy country swain,
Tho SHELTERED in the lowest shed
That ever rose on SCotland's plain
Thro' weary winters wind and rain,
With JOY, with rapture, | would toll;
And nightly to my bosom strain
The bonnie lass O Ballochmyle.
Then pride might climb the slipp'ry steep,
Where fame and honors lofty shine;
And thirst of gold might tempt the deep,
Or downward seek the Indian mine;
Give me the cot below the pine,
To tend the hocks or till the soil,
And every day have joys divine,
With the bonnie lass O Ballochmyle.

THEY ARE WORRIED
sUBCONTRACTORs FIGURING ON
DEMAND OF UNIONS.
1T MAY MEAN TROUBLE.
UNION MEN NOT TO GO WHERE NOM
UNION MEN HAVE BEEN.

sub-ContractOrs Are Called Upon to
Much to Them-If They Recognize
the Union Their Men Must Not
work on buildings where Nom
Union Help Was Used-If They Do
Not They Cannot Work for Con-
tractors Who stand by Organized
Labor.
IT appears certain that after Jan. i
the lines between organized labor and
that which is not will be drawn close
ly, and that it must be one thing or
the other with contractors.
Word to this effect has gone around,
and the subcontractors are somewhat
annoyed. They are between the devil
and the deep blue sea, as it were, and
are called upon to determine which of
two propositions they will accept They
have been given to understand by the
labor unions that there will be 40
hair-splitting, and that it must be one
thing or the other.
The subcontractors say it is much
easier for the contractors proper to de-
eide the question that they will be
called upon to answer. They can either
agree or not agree to use only union
labor on all contracts. The decision
of each contractor will end the mat
ter so far as he is concerned, but the
sub-contractor is called upon to do
some deeper thinking. He cannot
recognize the union and at the same
time do work for a man who does not.
Subcontractors Are Worried.
Although the subcontractors may
employ nothing but union help, they
will not be permitted to touch a build
ing that has had a non-union man at
work on it. Thus if a subcontractor
either recognizes or refuses to recog-
nize the union he is bound to lose busi-
ness, unless the contractors to a man
agree to employ only union help. Some
of the subcontractors expect that trou-
BILE will result when the demand is
made and that not all of the contrac-
tors will agree to use nothing but UNI
ion labor
The labor union will insist that a
building that has been constructed. or
even partly constructed, by non-union
men cannot be fitted out with electric
fixtures by union men. In such a case
the electrical contractor who has
agreed to stand by the union will lose
a contract. On the other hand. if he
has refused to recognize the union his
men will not be permitted to fit up and
wire a building that has been put up
by a contractor who uses only union
men.
Unions Have Their Say.
Members of the union have an
nounced that the issue will be clear
cut and that 1t must be one thing or
the other. 1t is not new rule of the
labor organizations. but it is one that
has not been strictly adhered in the
past. While union carpenters and
bricklayers have refused to work with
non-union men in the same trade the
point has neverabeen so finely drawn
before. and 1t has been possible for
subcontractors to put their union men
to work on buildings upon which have
been employed non-union help. The
question is one that is agitating the
subcontractors not little.
