Wall Street Tradition Broken.

1t is tradition in Wall street that
a broker never voluntarily retires from
the street, but must wait for death or
misfortune to compel his retirement,
but Broker Henry B. Vaughan, who is
credited with having amassed $6,O00,-
600 in the last six years, is the excep-
ton that proves the rule. Despite the
fact that he has put away a million
dollars for each year that he has spent
as a member of the Stock Exchange
he bought seat in 1S96-he has re-
tired. He sold his seat for $50, 900 and
expects to spend the proceeds this
winter in a pleasure trip to Europe
Mr.. Vaughan, who is 60 years old, &C.
cording to his own admission, does
not look within ten years of that age.

Dainty Window Hanqlnqs.

Some of the new curtains displayed
in the stores suggest an idea to the
woman who would like to make for
herself pretty draperies at small cost.
First make your curtain of bobbinet

enciennes lace. Then on the net ap-
plique sprays of roses or other flowers
cut from French cretonne. The eff

kle a curtain lavishly with flowers.

to the spacious room occupied by
Lewis Brooks. From head to foot he
arrayed himself in Lewis Brooks

from his shining shoes, well-brushed
clothes, immaculate linen, modish tie
to his stiff derby.
He packed a dress suit case with
sufficient supplies for night and
day in the city, and then took the
road through the woods to town. He
had enough money to pay his fare
one way. He determined that way
should be the return ticket. What
she had donated would probably COW
er his expenses in the city. To work
his way to Lucy would require some
work of wits and nerve.
He reached the little town lust in
time to board the through express.

pockets.

A WOman's Back.

Dublin, Mich, June 29th.-To the many
women who suffer with weak back and pains
and tired feelings in the small of the back,
the experience of Mrs. Fred Chalker of this
place will be interesting and profitable.
Mrs. Chalker had suffered very great
deal with these back pains and although
she had tried many things, she could find
nothing that would relieve her. The pain
kept on in spite of all she could do.
At last she CHANGED to read the story of
another lady who had suffered with the
backache, and said she had been cured by a
remedy called Dodd's Kidney Pills, and Mrs.
Chalker thought she would try the same
thing.
After the first two boxes had been taken
according to directions, she began to feel
some better, and she kept on till at last she
was cured.
Her pains are all gone, and she is very
grateful. She says: EDodd's Kidney Pills
helped me greatly, and will always recon-
mend them as a cure for Pain in the Back

TIM HARDER was not enjoying life
IL at present. Three men had come
down from the city for a fortnight's
soiourn on the Harder fruit farm.
They were wide-awake, up-to-date
chaps, and they had won their easy
going way into the hearts of the
Harder household, except Jim. Even
Pa Harder relaxed his grim features
at their jokes, while Ma. Harder sim
ply revealed in the delight of their
merry company.
But Jim institnctively resented
their presence and their condescend-
ing familiarity. He felt awkward and
I'll at ease, and was grudging of re-
Spouse to their addresses. His atti-
tude aroused all their teasing pro-
pensities, and they made him the
butt of many a joke, clubbing him
"Slow Jim" and Easy Mark"
Their chatting, however, was the
least of Jim's troubles. The real
heartache lay in the fact that Lucy
Buskirk had gone to the city for a
visit. He had always known and
loved Lucy. A fashionable school and
fashionable friends had not turned
her heart from him. She had asked
him to come to the city and return
with her, but that would mean Mt
least SIS, and Pa Harder was not
generous. Then, too, he was ashamed
of his SUNDAY clothes" He had al
ways felt countrifed in them. but
since he had observed the attire of
their summer boarders, the garments
were simply impossible, and he chung

This morning, while moodily mus

passed him. They were in tourists
costumes, and informed him they
were going down the river on a fish
ing excursion, and would not return
until the day after tomorrow.
Jim continued gazing after them as
they passed him, and it occurred to
him that one of them, Lewis Brooks,
a reporter on the Times, was just his
own size and build. Then there was

There seems to exist a difficulty Of

to appoint and the council TO confirm

means the power on the part of the

in the exercise Of that power, the only
thing that should count is tho unfit
ness Of the individual for the Office
to which the appointment is made, aud
in calculating unftncss from the
American standpoint neither religion
nor politics. should be considered a
factor. The case is parallel to that of
the president and the us senate.
And If the standing Of the individ-

good, it would show up the senate in
a bad light to reject the same, for no
other than religious or political cause.
