"GREEN SICKNESS"

The unhealthy complexion
of green sickness is changed
to the rosy blush of good
health by SCOTS Emulsion.
Green sickness is one of
the forms of blood disease
found in young women. The
change from girlhood to wo-
manhood often upsets the
nervous system, weakens di-
gestion and throws the blood
making organs out of gear.
SCOTS Emulsion puts new
heart into pale girls. 1t tones
up the nervous and digestive
system, and feeds the blood.
1t is a natural tonic.
Remember that 80 per cent.
of these cases go On into con-
sumption unless prevented.
SCOTS Emulsion prevents
consumption.

A south side citizen took great
interest in the clean street movement,
his front lawn being SO situated that
the draft OF the wind down the alley
covered IL with all the waste paper
that happened TO be lying around
Ioose-and there usually happened TO
be plenty
The householder in question knew
that most OF the litter came from
the alley, but although he kept a
careful watch from his back windows
he could never fix the responsibility
on any of the neiehbors; indeed, he
often found the alley far cleaner than
his lawn. But the waste paper still
came. and the citizen grew daily more
furious and his opinion of people who
threw out paper to blow whithersoever
the wind listed was expressed in some
OF the most forcible and unvarnished
Anglo-Saxon that the language affords
Nor did his language exaggerate his
sentiments.
One morning the citizen went out
and found much about the usual thing,
only more Of it. and. picking up a
dusty. sun-yelIowed envelope. he
noted that IL was addressed to a
prominent resident of an adjoining
avenue. There were other envelopes
and these were also without exception
addressed to the same person. a
battered shirt-waist box. half full of
excelsior. lay close at hand This. the
citizen discovered. was addressed to

In due course of time the ci.izen re-
ceived the following reply:

heartily for your favor received this
morning. | presume that you did not

But there was not word about the
waste paper. The citizen would feel
easier in his mind if he knew whether

a brief sketch OF the author is neees-
sary.
The Reverend Ezekil Loudmouth
had been the pastor of a colored
church in Indianapolis but owing to
his inability to recognize the differ
ence between TIE debit and credit side
of the church's collection accounts
was deposed. and drifting to Chicago

the sole remains of his ministerial
life appeared in his costume and the

Not Fair to Women

We have heard overmuch Of late of
the fact that women have never be
come artists or poets or creators OF
the very highest order. judged by the
male standard. The insinuation is
unfair because biased. Women have
never had . real chance to equal men.
and to argue that because they have
never attained the level Of q Shake
speare or q Raphael. therefore they
are inferior to men generally. is to
condemn them because they do not
rise superior to the average man

REPORTERS ERROR.
"KiIled" Nearly Every Undertaken in
New York City.
OILERS Weekly.


A young reporter on the staff of New
three months without attracting the marked
attention of the city editor and then fame
fell upon him like a landslide. He did not
lose his position, but it strained his rela-
limited experience when he was sent one
day to the Harlem office, with instructions
TO help cover" the routine news. This in
cluded a trip to the borough of Bronx for
the purpose of getting the daily list of
deaths for the obituary column. He found
with painstaking industry. 1t happened
that the official form records the name of
the deceased In one column and that of
the officiating undertaken in another.
By some twist of absent-minded vision
the reporter overlooked this distinction
copied the wrong list and did not know of
his mistake until he turned up at the down.
town Office at noon of the next day. The
anteroom of the city editor was filled with
strangers in frock coats and the telephone
boy at the switchboard was busy passing
along connections from Harlem and the
Bronx. The reporter curious, but not
directly interested, until a roar from his
chief at the city EDITORS desk made him
culver in his tracks:
|, Here, you idiot you've killed all the un-
dertakers In the Bronx, and most of 'em are
surging around the shop swearing it amt
go. How in perdition did you do It? Chase
out and talk to a few of them. It's your
funeral"
The dazed reporter faced an angry swarm
OF undertakers, each flouriShing a copy of
the mornings paper, and pointing at his
name among the deaths reported and
prominently displayed. There were clamors
for retraction, for damages to business for
vengeance wide and sweeping The re-
porter grinned, because he could not help
it. even in the presence of his own funeral

The Minnesota Training School has adopt-
ed q spanking device as a substitute for the
old method OF administering corporal pun
isnment 10 unruny boys and girls of the
institution. 1t Is a decided Improvement
upon mothers slipper and fathers strap
Furnishing incorrigible boys is no small
task. The least Of the trouble is In apply
Ing the strap. Then. If he is robust chap,
he may resist his captor; a struggle fol-
lows. one or both are hurt, and IL is easy
TO make charge OF brutality against the
whipper. Applying the lash under these
difficulties the blows are likely TO fall in
discriminatory on the anatomy between the
head and the feet
The device adopted by the training school
while not eliminating the preliminary strug-
gle, is designed to be more scientific and
humane application OF the strap. The exact
spot on the anatomy which ii is proposed to
attack may be marked with chalk and the
caSt1gation Is then administered with exact
precision.
The spanking machine is not an automatic
affair, dealing swift and terrible blows, as
has been depicted, but a long bench upon
which the victim Is placed with a conven-
tent part of his anatomy upward. If very
obstreperous the youth may have his hands
and feet strapped TO the corners of the
bench while the corrective agent applies
the lash.
To the general public the idea of a spank
Ing machine is matter OF considerable
amusement, but IL Is serious matter with
the inmates Of the institution. They have
become convinced that II is a demoniacal
invention, but nevertheless an effective
agent In the discipline OF incorrigibles. 1t
has. in fact. greatly curbed the vicious
propenSities or the many unmanageable
boys
Superintendent F. A. Whittier and the
members OF the State Board Of Control,
who are familiar with the results of the
spanking machine. assert that 1t is far
superior 10 the old hand method. And there

ment by which any given number OF Iashes

PRIVATE WIRE ADVICES.

Meyer G Kiser, Indianapolis

Meyer & Kiser Indianapols.l
NEW YORK, Nov. There very little
feature TO the stock market to-day until the
bank statement out. when 1t became
stronger and a better tone developed. The
course of the market during the early part OF
the session marked by sagging tendency
and weakness was in evidence at various points
The pressure not insistent, but the selling
of stocks in many quarters attracted attention
to the fact that operators on the short side were
feeling somewhat confident of their posi-
ton. The industrial list was the most seriously
disturbed and the steel issues lost substan-
TALLY all their gain made in the late trading
yesterday afternoon. There movement
directed against Rock Island common, but it
failed of any material effect That stock showed
a good undertone, although traders took IL for
granted that there were some weak holders of
that security. The granger stocks generally
showed little feature and marked aggressive
ness although their resistance to pressure was
in evidence
The bank statement proved to be much bet
ter than had been expected. The particularly
gratifying part Of II was a decrease in loans
amounting to 81, $4,000. The market developed
a strong tone Immediately the publication of
this statement and the whole list reflected the
bctterment. The Erie stocks were particularly
strong and the steel issues braced and advanced.
The feeling at the close was much better.
Sterling exchange very weak again to-day
and 1t is not improbable that gold will be i'm

mated loss. as based the traceable movements
OF money during the week. The decrease in this
item was se.277,sO0. as disclosed by the state
ment while the estimate indicated loss OF
So $4,000. Doubtless the decrease last week was
partly due to the bringing from the pre-

was not reported I'm the previous week. and add
