THE COUNTRY GIRL IN TOWN.

She is coming tn the city-alone.
 In the country nothing occurs. Life is about the same every day. And the girl has net yet learned tbat the greatest boon in life is to be content and that the quiet places are the best. It is the monotony that tires her, she thinks The same faces are to be seen , at the church every Sunday and at the picnics. She knows this one as Bill and that one as Sarah" Familiarity has bred contempt. And over all the countryside is the never varying Look of things. The familiar. has gr"w'n trite and finally distasfcful.
 But wonder in the city. An, everything happens in the city. There are plenty of new faces there. The scenes change like those of q Kaleidoscope. Lots of new sensations in the city! It's air is tonic. Surely life must be fuller there.
 The girl is young and innocent. In her inexperence she dreams fanciful dreams Perhaps she is ambitious to get on in he world, or impatient of restraint, or she is lured by the l glamour of the town. She does not realize how safe is the sheltered life she has always lived in the quiet ncighboriood She cannot appreciate the vcrity of her present certainty.
 Poor girl.
 What does she know of the swirl of .ity life of the dangerous undertow of l it's deceit fll currents?
 She does not know the wickedness of the metropolis. She does not even ! know herself,
 And just there is one of her dangers. 1 The girl does not realize the fact that her very virtues under strong tempta- ion may lead to her betrayal of her self She does not appreciate the fact that her very gentleness of nature pre- vents her bringing to bear upon the l deceitful temptcr the force of scorn which the sophisticated can summon to their aid. She does not know her own weaknesses.
 Poor lassie.
 Her loving disposition does not hard ly know how to deny. Her sweet un- selfshness scarcely is able to refuse. Every best quality of her being may lead to her undoing. Her innocence of real life, her youthful enthusiasms, her disposition to sacrifice herself-ab, the pity of it.-all these are the stuff ! by which she may be ruined,
 Because
 Where the lefenseless chicken strays, over that place circles the cruel hawk and swoops upon it's prey, ,.;s.
 Poor gt1!
 If she falls into tine wrong set of as sociates and there is no one by her side to warn and guide, God help the child! If. on the her hand, she is strong i of character. wary, capable of restfaiDt and self reliant. she will take care of herself and rise above the undercui rents of temptation.

There is more catarrh in this sec

There is more catarrh in this sec ton of the country than all other dis eases put together, and until the last few years was supposed to be incur able. For great many years doctors pronounced it a local disease and pre- scribed local remedies, and by con- stantly failing to cure with local treat ment pronounced it incurable. Science has proven catarrh to be constitu- tional disease and therefore requires constitutional treatment. Halls Ca tarrh Cure, manufactured by F. J. Cheney & Co.,, Toledo, Ohio, is the only constitutional cure on the mar ket. It is taken internally in doses from 10 drops to teaspoonful.

CONTEST OF THE
 VIVISECTIONISTS

Chicago, July 21.-Since the recent announcement by the American Medi- cal Association that physicians of the country would actively defend the practice of Ivisection for scientific purposes. intelsst in this old debate has been revived here, and many ln- teresting facts have come to light. The first blow in the fight for free dom of research has taken the form Of an article in the official journal of the association, in which the position of the profession on the question Is once and for all defined. This article ures, the interesting statement that fully so per cent of all animal eXperi- ments today are performed with a hypodermic syringe, and less than 20 per cent are actual cutting pro- cesses.
 If the medical profession can De entrusted with the care of the lives and health of the men, women and children of the country says the ar- ticle, it can certainly be trusted with the far lesser duty of protecting dumb animals against needless and unnecessary pain and suffering The term 'vivisection, so frequently used by the advocates of legal restriction, is in itself misleading and inaccurate. Probably so per cent of the animal experiments performed today are done with hypodermic syringe and should be called vivipuncture rather than yivisection, since there is no cutting connected with any stage of the experiment. The suffeTine cxpe- rienced by thousand guinea pigs is probably not equal to that endured by single little child suffering from diphtheria or scarlet fever The cam paign, which has only just begun, bids fair to be a lively one, as the medical men give as their platform the refusal ito trade great deal of human life and happiness for a
 very little animal life and happi- ness"

MARKET UPSET BY
FLUCTUATIONS IN
HARTMAN ISSUES
Stocks Drop to Lower Level,
Then Harden as Rally
Follows.

NEW YORK. Sept. 1.-The whole
market moved to a lower level of prices
in the opening dealings. The Harrimans
were conspicuous, Union Pacific and
Southern Pacific declining /. American
Smelling lost "a. Otherwise the recess
sions were restricted to small fractions
and the dealings were In only moderate
volume.
II a. m.-Trading was irregular, the
general market being swayed to a large
extent by the cratic fluctuations of the
Hartman stocks. The opening decline
in both Union Pacific n Southern
Pacific were made up, but fresh selling
orders in these stocks and pressure
against several other prominent rail-
whole market again. st. Louis and San
Francisco second preferred yielded ia
and New York Central, Canadian Faci-
fic, American Smelling and Consolidated
Gas l.. Another rally to the Hartman
stocks caused the general list to harden
some. Business was quite dull through
out the hour.
Noon-The stocks of the properties
associated with the Hartman name
were distinct features and their
strength held the rest of the market
firm. Illinois Contra advanced 2%,
Southern Pacific and Southern Railway
IL, and Erie. Brooklyn Transit and
Colorado Fuel l. Railway Steel Spring
declined Ia and Great Northern Ore
Certificates 1. Bonds were steady.
| p. m.-Speculative interests contin-
ued largely confined to the Hartman
stocks. The rest of the list held well,
although there was little inquiry for
stocks. CRANKY Mining gained 5 points,
Baltimore & Ohio preferred 2, Chicago
& Alton preferred and Brooklyn Transit
IL, Erie second preferred Ia n the
first preferred l.. American Smelling
preferred declined III.
2 o. m.-Further improvements were
made in stocks, but the general market
was sluggish though firm. Realizing
sales commenced in Southern Pacific
after it had crossed 10S, but their eff
feet on the market was slight. Erie
hardened liz and Union Pacific, South
ern Railway preferred and Consolidated
Gas 1.
8 p. m.-The market closed easy.
Readings rise to above 100 brought in
realizing orders and the whole market
fell back. Reactions ran to a point or
trail Railroad of New Jersey and Amer

American securities were affected by
the general dullness and had a quiet
forenoon at a slight advance over

later on re%alizations. The market
weakened on the receipt of the New
York opening. but it picked up soon
after under the lead of Southern Pa
