M'MULLEN's NOVEL sCHEMR
Being in Financial Trouble He Sends
Out Many Letters Each Asking
Loan of One Dollar.

Freeport, ILL.,, Jan. 9.-The action OF
Daniel Y. McMullen in sending out let
tiers asking loan of a dollar from each
person addressed was the occasion for
visit to this city of his brother,
David McMullen, of Chicago, who is
the president Of the treepOrt Hardware
company, of which the former is the
secretary and treasurer. ID. Y. McMul-
len said he personally became involved
to such an etXent that he believed an
appeal of the character he sent out
would have the desired effect.
He said his confidence in the bust
ness men of the country was RESPONSE
bic for his action. David McMullen,
after an interview with his brother,
said that the latter, without the knowI-
edge of his closest friends, had become
involved personally and had worried
over it to a considerable extent. He
will take rest for while. The Free
port institution in which the McAIul-
lens are interested is all right.

May Work Revolution.

May Work Revolution.
Carried to its logical conclusion. the
stand taken by Judge Quarles will
work a revolution in contemporaneou
court procedure. The judicial pro-
nounciamento caused a shock to some
of the sO-called conservative inter-
ests, with which the former political
fortunes of Judge QuarIes popularly
were supposed to be associated. but.
on the other hand, the frank expression
of opinion with its practical applica-
ton comes in for widespread COM
mendation.
Thereafter 1 shall not grant any re-
straining orders which act as tenn
Porary injunctions until l have called
in both sides and come into possession
of all the facts,'' was what Judge
Quarles said in substance to lawyers
gathered in his court room. The
declaration was not delivered as
formal opinion, but was brought out
through Informal conversation be-
tween the court and the attorneys.
Believed Writs Unjust.
1t was learned, however. that the
declaration was not the result of any
hastily formed opinion, but that the
conviction that restraining orders fire.
quently mark great injustice had
been reached after much consideration
Of the subject. Judge Quarles adj
mitted that the plan determined upon
for the guidance of his court in the
future would differ radically from the
usual practice, but insisted there
would be a new precedent.
The effect of Judge Quarles' de.
cision, should it have the influence
which it is expected to exert upon
court procedure generally, will be felt
most strongly in the labor world,
where it will be received enthusiast
tically. The war of the trades unions
against government by injunction has
been waged long and bitterly, with
little success. In many of the large
strikes injunctions and temporary re-
straining orders have played an i'm
pOrtant part.

A boy that is kind and polite,

To do what he knows to be right.
A boy that is truthful and honest
And faithful ana willing to work,
But we have not place that we care
to disgrace,
With boy that is ready to shirk.
Wanted-A boy you can tie to,
a boy that is trusty and true,
A boy that is good to old people
And kind to the little ones, too.
A boy that is nice to the home folks
And pleasant to sister and brother
A boy who will try when things go
awry
, To be helpful to father and mother,
These are the boys that are wanted
In the workshop, the home and the
store;
The world needs such boys in its bus
mess,
For them there are places galore.
These are the boys we depend on
Our hope for the future, and then
Grave problems of state and the worlds
work await
Such boys when they grow to be
men.

-Mr1 H1es/erIurry

Anervous, irritable mother, often on
the verge of Mysteries, is unfit to care
for children; it ruins child's DISPOSE
ton and reacts upon herself The
trouble between children and their
mothers too often is due to the fact
that the mother has some female weak
ness, and she is entirely unfit to bear
the strain upon her nerves that govern
ing children involves; it is impossible
for her to do anything calmly.
The ills of women act like a firebrand
upon the nerves, consequently nine
tenths of the nervous prostration, ner-
vous dependency, " the blues" sleep
lessness. and nervous irritability of
women arise from some arrangement
of the female organism.
Do you experience fits of depression
with restlessness, alternating with
extreme irritability? Are your spirits
easily affected, so that one minute you
laugh, and the next minute you feel
like crying?
Do you feel something like ball ris-
ing in your throat and threatening to
choke you; all the senses perverted,
morbidly sensitive to light and sound !;
psin in the abdominal region. and
between the shoulders; bearing down
pains; nervous dyspepsia and almost
continually cross and snappy?
Ii so, your nerves are in shattered
condition, and you are threatened with
nervous prostration.
Proof is monumental that nothing in
the world is better for nervous prostra-
ton than Lydia r. Pinkham's Vege-
table Compound; thousands and thou
sands of women can testify to this fact.
