Yet when her pastor, with whom
Mr.. Riis called, asked them about
their need, she answered cheerfully
that they were ''getting along"
Closer questioning revealed the fact
that she had not tasted solid food for
days, but when her pastor chided her
for not making her want known, she
answered: "Oh, our church has many
poorer than l." Nor was that all; in
spite of their utter poverty, they had
taken in an old man who was past
working, and had kept him all winter,
sharing with him whatever they
had. He had no claim upon them;
indeed, they hardly knew him. But
he was poorer than they!

The readers of this paper will be pleased to
learn that there is at least one dreaded dis
ease that science has been able to cure in all
its stages and that is Catarrh. Halls Catarrh
Cure is the only positive cure known to the
medical fraternity. Catarrh being a constitu-
tlonaI disease, requires a constitutional treat
ment. Halls Catarrh Cure is taken internally,
acting directly upon the blood and mucous
surfaces of the system, thereby destroying
the foundation of the disease, and giving the
patient strength by building up the constitu-
ton and assisting nature in doing its work.
The proprietors have so much faith in its
curative powers, that they offer one Hundred
Dollars for any case that it fails to cure

Robbed.
7 B. Storm, treasurer of Arizona
10 Ariz., was recently found locked
IN the steel vault of his office, bound
and gagged, with SIS, GOO missing from
the cash funds of the treasury. Storm
had been in the vault IS hours when
fonnd by his daughter. He says that
obout ) O'Clock the afternoon before.
while seated in his Office, two men
entered the door, with handkerchiefs
tied over their faces and, presenting
a revolver, ordered him to throw up
his hands. Storm complied and the
two men closed the door of the office
ond hound his feet and hands with
wire. They then forced a handker-
chief into his mouth and pushed him
inside the vault. After gathering up
s15 600 and leisurely ransacking the
Office for more money, the men closed
the door of the vault, locked it and
departed. Storm was unable to give
anv accurate description Of the men.

The st. Adams Messenger thinks
Mansur and Merritt have been col
lectors of customs long enough. The
office of collector of customs is
purely political office and a remuner-
alive one. Several are aspiring to
succeed the present incumbents, and
property. A political office should be
passed around, for it is hardly prob
able that any two men who might be
selected are so prominently quail
fed for the Office that they ought to
hold it during II e remainder of their
natural lives.-Bellows Falls Times.
In glancing through the political
campaign just past it is difficult to
determine the real issues of the cam
paign. Both parties nibbled at the
trust problem; at first the democrats
supposed the trusts a little shy of
Roosevelt and elected Judge Parker
as a man who would not harm the
most infantile of Industries, but later
when they saw the trust strongly
supporting TEDDY" rather than
Parker the statement was made that
these industries were giving the
republican campaign financial aid.
At times also the democrats tried to
make a handling of Imperialism;
first the attitude of the United States
toward the Philippines was taken up
and then the Panama ruffle was
thrown in Roosevelt's face, both to
no avail. On the whole however it
looks as though the republicans aimed
simply for strong government and
clean politics while the democrats
were all the time trying to find an
issue but failed-excepting the mud
issue of the last few days.

The War.

While the Russian and Japanese
northern armies have sat down facing
each ether behind heavy intrench-
ments that neither seems ready to at
tack, each awaiting achievements
or some event that will give it the
advantage, the Japanese are pushing
the siege of Port Arthur with a deter
mination that promises its early fall,
despite the heroic defence that Gen.
Stoessel is making. 1t is significant
that for the first time since the siege
began, the Japanese are now giving
out official reports of the operations
at Port Arthur. 1t indicates that they
regard the end near, and that no
harm can come from making the facts
public. The reports show that little
by little, sometimes succeeding, some
times, repulsed, the Japanese have
steadily pressed back the Port Arthur
garrison from the outer to the inner
forts, have mounted guns so as to
command the harbor, the shipping
and the town, and have even lately
succeeded in breaking in upon the
last line of Russian defence, SO that
the garrison has retired to the main
forts on Golden Hill, Tiger Tail and a
few other high elevations, from which
they can command the approach Of
their enemy, can sweep the town be-
meath and from which it may require
some time to dislodge them. The
losses on both sides during the siege
have been enormous. The suffering
and privations of the garrison, whe1
known, will stir the world. Driven tt
their last ditch, the brave Russian
await the coming of the relieving

l have asked a number of the
business men who would be direct
ly benefited by this work to meet
Friday evening at SIS O'Clock and
together subscribe total of 81, 500,
every cent of which to be used in
doing the work already mentioned.
In return | agree to care for, sup
port and manage the Public Read
ing and Rest Rooms to the best of
my ability for period of five years,
and l agree to give security for this
money on the improved property, so
in case of my death or other inabll-
ity to fulfil the conditions of the
contract, no one would lose money.
When you consider that the COM
mon wages of a. librarian and JAM
tor for that length of time would
greatly exceed the sum have asked
it does not seem such an exor-
bitant request, does it? | am will
ing, even anxious, to devote the re-
mainder of my life to this work, If
you will kindly accept it.
From the little experience that
has come to me | can truthfully say
this is a much needed work in this
place. Many of you who read this
letter remember little incidents of
the past year connected with the
Reading and Rest Rooms which
made you thankful at the time for
such an institution; but no one per-
son can estimate it's total value to
the public. 1 am quite sure that If
the citizens will respond generously
and make the property presentable
on the outside that the farmers wlll
gladly give enough to make the
Rest Room a comfortable, conven-
lent, homelike room,-a credit to
themselves as we'll as to the city.
l shall do home baking and give
occasional dinners to build up the

re 81 500. l neither need nor want
it for myself. However, do urge
YOU TO invest a small sum when it
is needed and wanted, and where it
cannot help returning to you IN
some way. ALICE L. HEMENWAY.
