Demand For Old Hats.
philadelphia Bulletin.)

ooh, yes, am always in the mar
ket for secondhand derbies and silk
hats. They sell better than anything
else"
The old clothes dealer pointed to a
room filled with shocking hats.
There's not half enough there to
meet the demand he said. IF you
was to bring me a carload of old
hats this morning I'd take 'em all"
There's such a demand, eh?"
You bet there's a demand. Espec-
tally among old maids and widows
that live alone. They buy these hats
and hang a couple on the hall rack.
Then, when a beggar or tramp gets
too rambuctious at the door, they
turn and say:
George is home That's his hat.
George! Oh, George! VIII you come
down here and turn this rascal
away%
Then the tramp sneaks, thinking
there's a man in the house.
Restaurants, when they open up
new stands generally lay in twenty
five or thirty hats. They hang them
in the lobby to make people think
business is brisk"

LOSS OF TEN POINTS
MADE IN MAY COTTON
Market Was Much Weaker
Yesterday.

A net loss of ten points in the May
option was sustained yesterday, when
the cotton market sagged in the seat
and bagged at the knees in a generally
disheveled condition. March contracts
which opened at 1866, closed at 1857,
a decline of eight points, while May
turned turtle and backslided from
1916 the opening figure, to 1906 for
a finale July opened at 1850 and
closed at 1912, slumpe eight
points in that midsummer option. New
York spots were quoted steady at
1850 The Americas market was a
listless one, with few if any sales of
the better grades.

Making Good.

There is no way Of making lUSttfA
friends like making Good" and Doctor
Pierce's medicines well exen-plify this,
and their friends, after more than two
decades of popularity, are numbered by
the hundreds of thousands. They have
"made good" and they have not made
drunkardS.
A good, honest, square deal medicine of
known composition is DIR. Pierce's Golden
Medical Discovery. 1t still enjoys an inn
menSe sale, while most of the prepara
tiOnS that have come into prominence in
the earlier period of its popularity have
"gone by the board and are never more
heard of. There must be some reason for
this long time popularity and that is to
be found in its superior merits. When
once given fair trial for weak stomach,
or for liver and blood affections, its Supe-
rior curative qualities are soon manifest;
hence it has survived and grown in pop
ular favor, while scores of less meritOriOuS
articles have suddenly flashed into favor
for brief period and then been as soon
forgotten.
For torpid liver with it's attendant
Indigestion, dyspepsia, headache, per-
haps dizziness, foul breath, nasty coated
tongue, with bitter taste, loss of appetite,
with distress after eating, nervousness
and debility, nothing is 50 good as DR..
Pierce's Golden Medical Discovery It's
an honest, square-deal medicine with all
no secret, no hocus-pocus humbug,
therefore don't accept q substitute that
the dealer may possibly make a little big
ger profit. Insist on your right to have
what you call for.
Don't buy DR.. Pierce's Favorite PreScrip-
ton expecting it to prove you're ALL" It
is only advised for woman'S special all
ments 1t makes weak women strong and
sick women we'll Less advertised than
some preparations sold for like purposes,
its sterling curative virtues still maintain
its position in the front ranks, where it
stood over two decades ago. As nm in
MIGRATING tonic and strengthening nerv-
inc it is unequaled. It " ont satisfy those
who want nbooze," for there is not drop
of alcohol in it,
DIR. Pierce's Pleasant Pellets, the or-igt-
nal Little Liver Pills, although the first
pill of their kind in the market, still lead,
and when once tried are ever afterwards
in favor. Easy to take as candy--one to
three a dose. Much initiated but 7leUeY
