To Subscribers.

The latest postal laws are such that
a newspaper publisher can arrest any
one for fraud who takes paper and
refuses to pay for it. Under the law
the man who allows his subscription
to run along for sometime unpaid
and then orders it discontinued, or
orders the postmaster to mark it
"refused" and have a postal card sent
notifying the publisher leaves him
self liable to arrest and fine, the same
as for theft.

not be lost on those parents who are

Chimney Fire.

The fire department was called cut
last evening at about o'clock, some
one having sent in an alarm for a
chimney fire. No damage was done
more than causing an extra lot of
hard work for the department.. The
weather was anything but beautiful.
The practice of turning in alarms for
chimney fires should be discontinued.
A little watching on the part of some
one will prevent chimney fire from
doing damage.

ANTIsePrlc suRasRY.s RISE.

illustrated by the Growth of One Sur
gical Dressing House.
Charles Edwin Wilson, who repre-
sents corporation devoted exclusive
ly to the manufacture Of surgical
dressings, talked interestingly of this
important industry.
Perhaps no variety Of business has
made such strides in the last ten years
as the manufacture of surgical dress
ings," he said 1T Is only within a
decade that the art of surgery has
taken its advanced place in the world
of science, and the dressings used In
that time have advanced from the
crude and often insanitary kind to the
chemically pure, antiseptc dressings
Of to-day. A few years ago one trav-
cling man could cover several States
for our company; now in great many
States we have a man whose entire en-
ergies are devoted to that State. Our
business is one which does not bring
us in contact with the general public.
Our dealings are with the physicians,
druggists, and especially with the hos
pitfalls.
IAN idea Of the magnitude to which
the business has grown may be gained
from the fact that there are four fac
tories in the country devoted to the
manufacture Of surgical dressings. The
company which 1 represent has 80
buildings in its plant, with a floor area
of 10000 square feet, or about IL
acres. More than 1000 operatives are
constantly employed at the plant.
Last year, in the item Of surgical
gauze alone, our company manufac-
tured 100000 yards. We manufac-
tured 100000 pounds of absorbent
cotton, and 2O,OOOOOO porous plasters,
which, while they cannot properly be
called surgical dressings, are manufac-
tured by those who make these goods.
"The raw cotton fiber consumed in
our factory alone during the year
amounted to a little more than o.
/ 100000 pounds. SO that it is evident
that there Is a much greater demand
for surgical dressings and appliances
than there was a few years ago, and,
as have said, our patrons demand
and will accept nothing but the best
and most improved dressings. Mil

am getting old aud feeble, cannot
work no more,
l have laid the rusty-bladed hoe to
rest;
Old massa and old missus, they're sleep
ing side by side,
And their spirits now are roaming with
the blest;
Things are changed about the place, ths

And l cannot hear them singing in the

And the only friend that's left me is that
little boy Of mine,
In my little old log cabin in the lane.
There was a happy time to me, not many
years ago,
When the darkies used to gather
round the door,
They used to sing and dance at night,
and play the old banjo,
But, alas they cannot do it any more;
The hinges are all rusty now, the door
is tumbing down,
And the roof lets IN the sunshine and

The Cry of the Children.
DO you hear the children weeping, o, my
brothers.
Ere the sorrow comes with yearsl
They are leaning their young headS
against their mothers,
And that cannot stop their tears.
But the young, young children, o, my
brothers,
They are weeping bitterly!
They are weeping in the playtime Of the
others,
In the country of the free.
Still, all day the iron wheels go onward,
Grinding life down from its mark;
And the children's souls which God Is
calling sunward.
Spin on blindly In the dark.

LA RUE's LITTLE JOKE.
How lie Finally Cured Co1ored Pc
ter of the Theft Habit.

How lie Finally Cured a Coiored Por-
ter of the Theft Habit.
William LaItue, alias Happy Billy
one Of the principal clowns with the
Norris & Rowe Greater circus that is
headed this way, is an inveterate
practical joker, says the Butte Inter
Mountain. He Is always up to some
mischief and IS constantly doing some
Thing to evoke the laughter Of his
companions. His most recent escl-
pGde nearly caused the complete col
lapse Of one Of the employees Of tie
circus. LaRue has his stateroom on
the circus train fixed up very attract
lively and among other toilet articles
upon his dresser is always to be found
n bottle Of Florida water.
George Webb, the dusky porter of
the train, who rejolces in the cogno-
men of Pork Chops" presumably on
account of his fondness for that meat,
is quite a dandy In his way. On sew
eral occasions LaRue caught Pork
Chops" purloining his Florida water
and applying goodly quantities to his
kinky wool. Happy Billy determined
to teach Pork Chops" a lesson, so re
moving the balance Of the perfume he
substituted in It's stead n bottle full of
peroxide, knowing the darby could not
detect the difference for awhile and
calmly awaited results.
1t was with much satisfaction that
LaRue saw PORK Chops" continue to
apply the liquid to his head and it
wasn't long before the powerful stun
began taking effect. "POrk Chops "
wool began assuming various shades
Of a blond tint and If ever there was
scared colored man It was Mr.
Webb, alias Pork Chops" He could
MT understand II and hoping to get his
wool back to its normal shade of
blackness he continued using the per-
oxide. OF course the more he used
the blonder his head turned. BY this
time the entire circus was interested
and amused at "Pork Chops " per-
pleXty. He scented a practical Joke,
but could not just locate the cause
Finally his hair turned a beautiful
blonde and that was the finish for the
darkey. He rushed to Norris & Rowe
with a despairing cry For Gawd's
sake, bosses, wat you all 'spose is de
mattah wild my hair?" The circus
owners looked him over and he was
indeed a sight.
why" said they, you've been us
ing peroxide. Where did you get It?
You'd better see a doctor quick"
Pork Chops was in no position to
tell where he got it. He simply rush
ed TO a doctor and has been under
treatment ever since. He was a might
lily scared darkey and 1t is safe to say
that LaRue can leave all his toilet
articles around loose now and there Is
one darkey who will never touch
them. for It has cured him completely
of the habit Of sampllng what does
not belong to him.
