A girl who wishes to expand her chest can do so if each morning she will stand erect, feet together and shoulders back, arms straight down and take 20 full, deep breaths. It is, perhaps better to begin with 15 for the first week and gradually increase to 20 or more. This is excellent for developing the chest.

Voters in the first and third yards, remember you have an important duty to perform on Monday. You have the best opportunity you ever had to elect a democratic board of aldermen. and the fight must be won in. the first and third wards. The fourth and fifth will back you up with a rousing ma jority. You have good solid candl- dates in each of those wards and here is your opportunity. You democrats also in those two wards have been in- suited and reviled by the republican organs. You have been called mur- derers and rioters and yet you were as innocent as any innocent person in the city. There were more republican striking trolleymen than there were democrats, and yet the democrats were held responsible and their party was insulted and dragged in the mud by those republican organs. Your fami- lies have been insulted as well. The republican party was not blamed for one bit of the disorder. and why not? Because it suited the purpose of the republicans to besmirch the good name of democracy. Many of you have lived here all your lives. Many of you have lived under democratic rule. Will you stand idly by and let you and your families be called murderers. thugs, rioters and every other insulting cpl thet and title? A blush of shame should come to the faces of your mothers. wives. daughters and sisters if you allow yourselves to be led by those republican organs who have so consistently insulted, indirectly, per haps. those same mothers, wives, daughters and sisters. At the polls is where those insults should be resent ed, and if you are men you will do 1t, and do it thoroughly.

ALL ALONE.

sat and watched the sun go down, And watched the world go dark; Then round about me, up and down, Small lights flashed outsto mark, Like stars, wee spots amidst the gloam, Each that to some one dear had grown; Not one but marked place called home ; I sat and watched the lights flash out,
 But was all alone. sat and watched the moon come up, And heard the nightbird call: And round me moonf1owers ope'd their cup To catch the night dew's fall: And one by one the lights went dead, The night birds grooming tone Was hushed, the whole world seemed abed :; Man, bird and beast, each had their mate; {;
 But I was all alone! And midnight darkness held the world Like huge thing enthrailed; Days ev'ry banner had Been furled; Nor wind, nor nibhtbird called Across the heavy lying dark,
 Nor cen the pillows moan; The worlds grisly thing and stark At nidnight's heavy voioeless hour
 When one is all alone. ---J. M. Lewis, in Houston Post.

 NEW YORK, Oct 3.-A week of fa- vorable weather for the maturity and harvesting of crops has done much to re- lieve 8 somewhat complicated situation, and it is also encouraging to And that another collapse in the stock market produced no disturbance in financial or commercial circles. Early in the week the average of the sixty leading rail- way stocks was $34 share below the high point a year ago. Such a shrink age in market values would have caus- ed general demoralization had not the business of the country been establish ed on remarkably sound foundation. These losses restrict industrial expan- sion to certain extent, especially as funds cannot be secured at less than the legal maximum limit. The short interest in the cotton market and the slow movement of late crop made it possible for the controlling interest to advance prices S10 bale until the close of September, when return to normal prices occurred.
 Narrow fluctuations marked the course of grain, wheat showing no weakness in response to the idle mills at Minneapolis, while the movement of corn indicated that farmers were not eager to sell at current prices. In- terior receipts of corn were 4,7T8,811 bushels for the week against 1, 1,TS5, ,0T2 last year and Atlantic coast exports of S66, 13O bushels compared with 249, ,836 year ago. Arrivals of wheat were only 7,126,431 bushels against 8,843,- 749 last year and exports from the United States, four included, were 8,017,752 bushels compared with 7,302,- 479 in 1902. %

That's disorderly conduct. arrest you!"
 Then the man would display badge and prey on the young woman's fears by describing the horrors of the station house and picturing the shame of the publication of her name in the newspa- pers. Always the fellow demanded money to release those whom he pre- tended to arrest, and usually he got 1t.
 The other night several young men banded together to punish the pseudo policeman. John Ring, disguised in his sisters dress. basked in the sunlight of Peter Sheenhan's smiles, while the pair strolled along Hudson boulevard. Suddenly in their path appeared man who proved to be John Carney.
 "Spooning! Hugging! Actually hug ging!" exclaimed Carney. T arrest you!"
 "Oh, my! What will mommer say 9" cried Ring, as shrilly as he could
 This was the signal to two husky com panions close at hand. The four fell on Carney and thrashed him within an inch of his life. Nor did Rings dress hamper his blows. Carney had his assaiIants arrested. Their punishment will be light.

Put all your combined efforts into electing board of aldermen together with your mayor on Monday, was the slogan sent out last night by the dem ocrats. Carry the fight into the wards where there is possible chance to secure democratic members of the board The fourth and fifth wards should turn out the biggest majority for the democratic ticket that has ever been attained in those wards. It is up to every democrat to come out and vote and refute, the vile, slander- ous and insulting statements that have been made about you and your party by the republican organs for the last few weeks. Fathers should bring their sons to the polls, sons should bring their fathers, and the mothers and daughters should see to it that they come out, and vote and vote for the democratic ticket You have not only been insulted, but your families have been insulted and slandered. You have been called murderers and riot CTS and this reflects not alone oil you but on your families. Let every dem ocrat resent all this abuse. Pay the republicans back in their own eoin put nOD III sIu6lF OWH way. oucn campaign of abuse has never been per- petrated in any city in the country and who have been the abused people! Every democrat in the city who be- lieves in democratic principles and who believes in fair and honest deal- ing with his fellow men. Ever since the strike of the trolleymen began the republican organ has vilifed at every opportunity the people of the fourth and fifth wards. And who are those vilifers and where did they come from? They landed here, it is said from Paterson, New Jersey. Pater- son, New Jersey, one of the worst cit ies 50 reported. in the United States Filled with anarchists and the scene of riots of every description. Water bury was peaceful city until rabid and vilifying journalism turned it into or helped to turn it into the disturbed city it is to-day. Perhaps some of the air of Paterson was brought here when the republican organ took on it's 2ew coat. The voteSs in the fourth and fifth wards want to bear this in mind that parties who came to this city only couple of years ago cannot insAlt them and their families without receiving a rebuke. and that rebuke must come at the polls

Freezing Fish Alive.

A remarkable project is to be put into operation at Tacoma, Ore. The scheme is to freeze fish alive, to ship them to eastern markets and then, by thaWing them, to restore them to life The chiet care to be observed is that the cold shall not exceed IA degrees below freezing point, and that when in a frozen condi- tion the fish shall not be exposed to the sun. The idea Is based upon an act oi nature in some of the rivers and lakes in Alaska. These bodies of water freeze solid from surface to bottom during the winter The ice is filled with fish, which return to life in the summer.
