EmnerOr'S Fever Gone.

Vienna, Oct 17.-After a more restful night, which was only inter- rupted by repeated coughing, Em- peror Francis Joseph rose slightly later than usual this morning. His physician stated that the fever had disappeared and that the catarrhal symptoms had not increased, which was regarded as being somewhat fa- vorable. Otherwise the general con- dition of his majesty was unchanged, the physicians being unable to defi- nitely announce :.n improvement.

Could the Mayor

Well I guess he could-so could some of the would-pe mayors. In Tact there are very few politicians that are not able to carry the bod. But they. on account of their hard Work each day. very seldom feel disposed to tackle carrying the bod. Well II they or anyone else wishes one ol those coal "hods" which we are glN- ing with our warranted good pahlhs powder at 45 cents per pound we will carry it home fro them he- member the ones we are glVlng away are the we'll made. galvanized qualltN and will last for a long, long tune. We do not expect to be able to give these hods with our baking poWder only short time. Therefore II YOU need one now is the time. The writer of this ad is willing to bet million dollars that there is a wat erbury cop able to carry one ol our coal hods home without taking rest, Of course we make exception to OIll- cer Cayanaugh, for glory be to- seod- ness did you see him dive mo the Manhan canal and save that llttle LOU that was going to a watery grave Well they tell us that while he was in the water he kept sharp lookout to see what kind of fish were there. so we can look for a big catch from him soon, providing his investigation was favorable We hope when John got dry clothes on he partook or one or two cups of good hot coffee and to prevent catching cold the quality we sell is the best.

Flats Farm Book Trade.

Flats and Apartments damage my business dreadfully." said a publisher. "The minute Il family gives up its house and takes to a fiat that same minute it stops buying books. In the first place, fiat dwellers are cramped for room. Having little enough space for their furniture. let alone for books, they naturally buy no books. In the second place. flat dwellers are nomads: they move often, and your nomad hes itates to buy book because he knows 1t will be a nuisance to pack at tine next moving.
 "We are all taking to flats and apart ments, housekeeping in them is so much easier and pleasanter. We are all freeing ourselves of needless things in order to have more space in our cramped quarters. Books we free our selves of first, taking in their place a subscription to a public library.
 Indeed. thanks to the fiat. private libraries in the future will be as rare as private theaters or private chap lains. ."-New York Press.

Magazine For the Deaf.

Although the Albion, a twentyfour page magazine for the deaf, is now on the streets of London, no newsboys are crying its merits. The magazine is owned by deaf men and women, con ducted by a deaf mute editor, written by deaf writers. illustrated by deaf artists and sold by deaf canvassers in the interests of the deaf community. Its editor is Evan Yellon, who was a factory hand and who is self educat- ed. The idea of a new venture" AIr. Yellon said, ''is to provide a special magazine for a special public hither- to neglected by the general press, so far as its particular needs go, to bring into touch and fellowship the scatter ed units of the 120.O00 or more deaf men and women in England and Wales. to protect them by means of cooperation against quacks and frauds and to as- sist them in obtaining suitable employ ment and remedies for deafness"

"Millie. have requested Mir. Mitchell not to come here any more" Mrs. Thompson purred rather than spoke the words. but her keen black eyes were fixed intently upon her niece as if expecting the news would provok" s storm. She was not mistaken.
 What do you mean. Aunt HettyT' demanded Millie. her blue eyes fash ing and her voice quivering with anger. Why should you tell Jack not to call upon me again? am not a child and can see no reason why you should object to his visits if don't"
 You forget yourself. Millie," return ed Mrs. Thompson in the same soft purring tone. 'I am your aunt. your fathers sister. and he requested in his will that you should make your home with me until you are either married or have reached the age of twenty-five. That makes me your guardian, moral ly if not legally. and deem it my duty to break up your intimacy with Mfr. Mitchell"
 Why did you not object to Jack when I first met him? Why did you permit him to call here time and again after we met? Why did you wait un- al VIC are engaged to be married be- fore you offered any objections to his visiting met"
 Millie had arisen and faced Mrs. Thompson. Her voice was calm. but incisive. and each question was em- phasized by sharp rap on the ebony table beside her.
 T am not compelled to answer such questions. Millie Gray. especially when asked so disrespectfully." purred Mrs. Thompson. but Vill do so. thought Mr. Mitchell was a very es- timsble young man when you first met him. This impression remained with me until lately. when have had reason io believe him otherwise
 What E your reasony' demanded the girl sharply. If any one has ma ligned Jack. hare the right to know. % may give him the opportunity to defend himself What have you heard about him. I wish to know

planned this thing, knowing that my father, who hated the very mention of runaway marriages, provided that must be married at your home if am married before I am twenty-five. If am married anywhere else, one-half of my fortune will go to you. My fa- ther made this strange provision, be- lieving it would prevent me from elop- ing with any one before had reached years of discretion. You introduced him to come to see me. Now when we are almost ready to be married you trump up some objection to him in the hope that I will run away and get mar ried, thus allowing you to become pos sesscd of half my fortune. Aunt Het- ty, l have never loved you, but I did not think you were capable of such a scheme"
 Believe what you please" retorted Mrs. Thompson, purring no longer, but speaking harshly and discordantly. "Mr. Mitchell shall not come here again. You may do as you please.'
 "I am going to marry Jack Mitchell" replied Millie quietly, "and I shall be married in your home. That is all I have to say" And, turning. the girl walked to her own room. leaving her aunt to reflect over the last words.
 Bolting her door to guard against any intrusion. NTlllle reflected over the situation. She was now twenty, and by waiting five years until she came into possession of her fortune it would be possible 10 prevent Mrs. Thompson from obtaining any of the property. but the girls mind revolted at the idea of waiting so long. She had known Jack Mitchell for two years and been engaged to him six months. Five years seemed a lifetime. and she dis missed all thought of such q plan.
 Aunt Hetty should not profit by her marriage to Jack upon that at least Miliia was resolved but how could she possibly he married in her aunt's home? Aunt Hetty. having been dis covered in her scheme to secure a part Of the fortune. would spare no effort to prevent her niece's marriage fin her home. and Aunt Hetty. small of stat ure and not overly strong. usually ac- complished what she started out to do.
 What a jolly row there would he if Jack and the minister would come here and try to % ahead with the cere- mony." laughed Millie as the ludicrous side of such a possibility appealed fo her sense of humor. "I can imagine Aunt He;ty taking Jack by the coat collar and putting him out. despite his six feet Of length and 2O0 pounds weight Aunt Hetty would do it some hO7. % must be married here with out her knovledge. but how is that to be doue='
 There seemed 10 way to solve the problem. sad Mnlie arose to take a walk. thinking the fresh air might bring some relief to her troubled mind As she stood before the mirror arranx- ing her hat she noticed the reflection q men moving ah-ott She adjoining house. and she turned to investigate Men were taking up the carpet and moving the furniture out of the room n1poSite hers. while others were ou the foor heIou. similarly e1zEed- Cozsd + be r.oszTble that the Jaeksazs were going to movsE If they were the
