HANK NORTH. 1t has been called
"the toughest precinct in the tough
est ward in the world" and no one
will claim that North ever tried to
plant the seed of virtue in it. This
fellow is about to retire from bust
ness, and the Chicago papers are
printing much about him.
That even those whose daily life Is
amid depraved surroundings have a
touch Of humanity is shown by the
following from the Record-Herald:
Hank Smith has his own grave
yard. He has certificates for twenty
seven graves in Oakwoods cemetery
which he bought as occasion demand
ed to bury some poor unfortunate.
Eyes, sir" he said, taking tin box
from his safe and showing the certifi-
Gates, 1--WE planted twenty seven peo-
pie out at Oakwoods. Four or five Of
them were women. Several of the
men were musicians who made my
place their headquarters. They cash
ed in and had to be buried. Anybody

Lawrence-that's the name Of my no.
tel-never went to the college. If
had to mortgage the bar fixtures I'd
see that they were buried decently.
And it's the same way when any Of
the boys are taken sick. You don't
catch me sending them out to the
county house to be killed They go to
private hospital and the bill comes
to Uncle Hank"
The average divekeeper would have
considered the potters' field an appro-
pirate burying place for such as these
Not so Hank. Twenty-seven graves in
Chicago cemetery represents an ex-
penditure Of several thousands of dol
lars, and the sympathy that leads to
such acts suggests that there were
splendid possibilities in such soul
had its avenues been more pru6ently
chosen.

q Tale of Horror.

Not many years ago l TOOK
A baby boy to raise
Ard bring him up as best couId
IN strictly proper ways
7 hired a homely girl as nurse,
Who said her greatest Joy -
Would be to show her constant care
And service to the Doy
She said she'd had experience
With baby boys and she
Assured me that for several years
She'd bossed nursery.
So in the guileless manner of
Old bachelor confidence
I left the baby boy to her
Ard ended my suspense.
But not for long; that evening when
came back home there was
household filed with dire olsmay;
And truly there was cause.
The baby boy was missng-lost
The nurse girl tore her hair.
And like a loose detective she
Went searching everywhere.
The wretched creature said she'd bathed
Our darling little jim;
But after that she didn't know
What had become of him.
No baby boy: o, Rachel's grief!
l rushed around In dread
The meantime using language winch
Were better left unsaid.
At last I found the precious lamb.
Down by the sink forlorn,
Attired exactly as he was
The day that he was born.
How did it happen? Well. that girl

cream stretch along the walls and
natural color wicker furniture is et-
fective in such a room. A square Ia

furnishing. Very coarse mesh cur

brown and yellow pottery in quaint

SURPRISE For the Husband.

A truly economical woman has been
discovered at Wilton, N. II. Her hus-
band was so unfortunate as to have
his hand badly mangled by contact
with a buzz saw, and a portion of it
was amputated by DR.. George w.
Hatch. While he was under anaes-
theuc influence his better half remem-
bered that he had discussed having
his remaining teeth extracted, pre-
paratory to having an artificial set
fitted. and inquired of the doctor If
her husband would remain under the
influence of the ether long enough to
extract the teeth, and If it would cost
any more to have this done also. Re-
ceiving favorable replies, she instruct
ed DR.. Hatch to proceed, and her hus'
band. when he regained his senses
found that his wife had killed two
birds with one stone"

The Woman's Long Good-By.

When man wants to say good-by
to another man with whom he has
been spending an hour or so he just
grabs his hat, shakes the other fell
lows hand, says $50 long" or "see you
later" and is off. But woman, hav-
ing said good-by in the parlor, stops
at least seven times between there
and the vestibule and makes a final

once more. 1t would be better for
men If they would cultivate more leis-
urely habits in their daily intercourse
with one another, which they would
be moved to do if they more sedulous'

Tobacco.

Since Jean Nicot discovered Nico-
tine, tobacco has had hard name,
but recent chemical investigators tell
US the world has been on the wrong
track for generations, and that nico-
tine has nothing to do with the tren!-
ors, the nervousness, and the other
ills that afflict the habitual smoker.
The injurious property is, it seems,
carbon monoxide gas, which is the
very constituent that is dangerous in
common water gas. The smoker
should know, then, that in consuming
one ounce of tobacco he produces one
whole pint of carbon monoxide, which
is a very fearsome thing. The cigar
cite. the object of execration by all
good men and women, especially wom-
en-, produces very little OF the monox-
lde, but If the practice of inhaling is
followed the deadly gas goes straight
to the blood in the lungs, turns it
pink and poisons 1t. The cigar is the
great producer of the obnoxious gas,
and would be more harmful than the
pipe were 1t not for the ordinary
pipes incurable filthiness.
Scientists are agreed that there is
something bad about tobacco, what
ever it's name may be. Yet the sales
are growing at so rapid a rate all over
the world that the people seem to be
rushing blindly TO their own destruc-
ton. unmindful and regardless of their
doom. And the hardened smoker be-
lieves that this is a case where ignor-
ance is bliss.

"Ycu have told me what you have
been, not what you are"


while she read him news from Lon
don paper six weeks old.
He gained rapidly after that. In a
weeks time he was able to hobble
about the mud walled garden of the
mission. The girl was with him con-
stantly, reading to him on the little
veranda, or singing to him in the so1t
glow of the September twilights.
Gradually he told her of his life
of his aimless wanderings, or MS
wasted opportunities. He neither soft
ened his past nor excused it. There
were many parts OF it, OF course, that
he did not mention; but what ne ala
tell her of it he told in plain,
straightforward way, with sometimes
a note of wistful sadness in his voice.
And she was always grave and sym
pathetic and eminently lovable.
So the days flew past-very happy
days they were for Barlow, until there
came a bitter night when he walked
the narrow, crooked streets of Fu'
Chang alone and had it out with him
self What was he that he should
dare to love a woman like this? He
cursed himself for blind fool. That
past of his own making rose before
him like a grim gate, shutting him
| forever from paradise.
The gray morning light was break
| ing over the crooked, dirty streets OF
| Fu-Chang when he returned to the
mission and threw himself on his bed
utterly exhausted; but sleep he could
not. and after tossing restlessly for
awhile, he arose and stood at the win
dow, watching the sun creep up above
the mud-walled huts.
All these wasted years and nothing
to show for it but the bitterness OF
his heart and an ancient yellow map.
In his despair he caught the map
from his pocket and tore it into small
bits. Perhaps it was best after all.
he reflected. He doubted his ability
to remain silent had his assets been
otherwise.
! It was evening before he could trust
himself to see her. He found her in
the garden and went to her smiling
bravely.

Hygiene Of Churches.

1.-THE poet tells us that the groves
were Gods first temples. From
health standpoint they were far supe-
rior to our magnificent modern edi-
fees, where the worshipers come in
contact with countless germs lurking
in the upholstered seats, and in the
dust-laden carpets, and their minds
are stupefied by being compelled to
inhale the poisons that are constantly
exhaled from the lungs of others, be
they sick or we'll.
Clergymen should feel pride in hav-
ing their churches hyglenically cor
structed and well ventilated. Fixed
carpets should not be used in places
of worship where so many people con-
gregate. The example of the great
Roman divine, the bishop OF Fano, IN
Italy, is a good one to follow in this
respect A circular was recently is
sued by him in which he asks the
priests of his diocese to comply with
the following rules:
81. In every church the floor must
be regularly cleaned with sawdust
saturated with a strong sublimate
solution. This thorough cleaning
should take place particularly after
holidays when great masses OF peo
pie have visited the church.
-. Every week all ordinary chair'
and confessional chairs, should be
thoroughly cleaned with moist rags.
3. The CRATE of the confessional
chairs must be washed every weet

Best Sleeping place for Hot Weather.

Best sleeping TidSc 'o' ''oh "Ses~''
The healing power of the great ou:-
of-doors is rapidly becoming known to
the great public, and an increasing
number are availing themselves of the
curative and hygienic advantages of
the outdoor life.
The present is a favorable time for
getting used to the outdoor lie. A
tent pitched in the yard or screened
porch is a far better sleeping place
for the present season than an ordi-
nary bedroom. To get the greatest
nossible benefit from the outdoor life,
one needs to live out continuously,
dav and night. The average man
spends one-third of his life In sleep.
The conditions which surround the
body during sleep must necessarily
exercise a powerful influence upon lie
and health. II this time is spent out
doors. in contact with the fresh air
and .the invigorating influence OF the
omen air. a result in the highest de-
gree beneficial must certainly be ex-
perienced.
One who is accustomed to sleeping
outdoors can hardly endure the at
mosphere of the house. Even with
windows wide open there seems some
thing lacking. A sense of depression
or onpression Is felt-a sort of cloud
which Is lifted when one again gets
under the open sky.
