LET IDLE THINGS DO GOOD
Articles You Do Not Use May ID
Someone Else Much Good.

Go up to your attic, look about your
house and see how many things are ~
ing round that you can not only dis
pense With, but which are also really
in your way, that would bring a meas
ure Of comfort and happiness to others
less fortunate than yourself.
Look over your old clothing and pick
out the articles that you will never
wear again, but which would prove a
real godsend to some poor girls out of
employment or who have so many de-
pending upon them that they can not
afford to buy necessary clothing for
themselves. Do not keep those things
until they become useless, thinking you
may need them some time. Let them
do good now, while it is possible.
Perhaps you have a number of pref
ty, but useless old Christmas presents
which you have been keeping for years,
merely out Of feeling of sentiment.
Why not make some poor children
who, perhaps, never have had Christ
mas present, happy with those things?
They made you very happy once, and
they will do SO again, when you know
that they are making this Christmas
brighter and happier for others.
Look over your books. Pick out the
duplicates, or the paper-covered ones
that you have read, and give them
away where they will be appreciated.
There are probably books in your IL
brary, or lying around the house, which
no one has looked into for years, or
will read for years to come, which
would be of inestimable value to boys
and girls who are trying to educate
themselves under great difficulties.
Pass them on. The more you give
away the more you will have and en-
joy. The habit of stinginess strangles
happiness; the habit of giving multi
plies it.
Perhaps you have damaged or old
pieces Of furniture slowed away in the
attic which would add greatly to the
comfort and brightness Of some poor
home. Go over your china closet and
see how many odd or Clipped and dis
colored dishes are lying there unused
which would fill an embarrassing want
in many poverty-stricken home.
When the fit Of generosity comes
over you, when you feel your heart
softening with humn sympathy, go
about the house and pick up every
thing you do not need and send them
away on their mission of love while
the impulse is upon you. Do not let
selfishness and stinginess try to con-
vince you that you would better keep
them, that you may find some use for
them in the future. Your impulse to
do good is a divine inspiration. Be-
ware how you smother it, or let it
pass by.-Success Magazine.

Deafness Cannot BE Cured

by local applications, as they cannot reach the
diseased portion of the ear. There is only one
way to cure deafness, and that is by constitu
tional remedies. Deafness is caused by an in
famed condition of the mucous lining Of the
EuStachian Tube. When this tube Is inlameC
you have a rumbling sound or imperfect hear
Ing, and when it is entirely closed, Deafness i.
the result, and unless the Inflammation can be
taken out and this tube restored to its norma
condition, hearing will be destroyed forever
nine cases out of ten are caused by Catarrh
which is nothing but an infamed condition Of
the mucous surfaces.
We will give One Hundred Dollars for any
case of Deafness Caused by catarrh) that can
not be cured by Halls Catarrh Cure. Send fol

HEAD PROVES FATAL
Bessie Aug Dies just as Fund to
Buy x-Ray Machine Reaches
Required Amount.

ATLANTIC CITY, Dec. 29:=Bes-
sic Aug, thirteen years old, of Pleas
antville, who was shot in the head by
John Adams, IA years old, while the
two, with other children of st. Johns
NJ. e. church, Pleasantville, were
practicing for a Christmas cantata,
died yesterday in the Atlantic City
hospital, where she had been lying
in a semi-conscious state since De-
cember %, the night of the shooting.
Young Adams confessed that the
missile which he in a spirit of mis-
chief fired at the girls head was a
bullet and not a piece of slate pencil,
as he at first reported. Adams has
not been arrested, but his father is
made responsible for his appearance
when wanted by the authorities. 1t
is expected, however, that he will be
taken into custody today, and held
to await the decision of the coroner's
jury, which will meet early next
week.
Since the little victim has been in
the hospital physicians have endeav-
ored in vain to find the missile that
pierced her skull and lodged in the
centre of the brain. A subscription
started by a local newspaper to pur-
chase an X-ray machine with which
the proper examination could be
made, had reached nearly $500 last
night, within a few dollars of the
amount required.

MAN LUBRICANT BE FOUND
Asbury Park Police Puzzled Over Story
Told by Druggists Son.

ASBURY PARK, Dec. 29:-There
is mystery, the police think, in the
disappearance of a man whom Null
ford Farley, son of, w. H. Farley, a
druggist here, says he saw lying on
the ground, his face bleeding, sur
rounded by four men, on Tuesday
night. Young Farley says the in
iured man was bundled into a wagon,
ostensibly to be taken to a hospital.
Nothing is known by the authorities
about what became of him.
Farley said he was on his way to
visit friends in Allenhurst and was
about to cross Park avenue bridge
when he came upon four men who
were standing and another who lay
upon the ground. One of the men
asked for a match and Farley gave
him one. BY its light he saw there
was blood on the face of the pros
trare man. One of the other men
said he had stumbled over the body
of The PROSTATE man in the darkness
and the other three men had come
along later. All protested not to
know the injured man. A man
drove up in a wagon as Farley was
talking to the men and they put the
injured man into it and said they
would take him to a hospital. The
police said yesterday that so far as
they had been able to learn no man
had been taken to any hospital near
here in a wagon on Tuesday night,
nor as far as they knew had any doc
tor been called upon to attend an in
jured man that night.
