In the room designed for his particular
dedication. And then, too, the fly is
no profilgate. Indeed, he is a thrifty
little fellow, as his acquisitions, under
the lens OF the microscope will attest.
Yes, the fly is tantalizing little
pest, and we all wish we were rid of
him. Still he serves his good pur-
poses. He makes business for the
screen manufacturers and the sticky
NY paper makers-and his example in
some things is well worthy Of emula-
ton, even among us superior humans.

THE REsouRcEFUL BARD.

The man who has to write a string
OF verse and jokes each day,
Is sometimes sadly up a tree
To know just what to say.
The muse won't always linger near
To lend a helping thrill;
And then he has to juggle some
His gaping space to fill.
He knows merry trick or two,
And brings them into play;
Instead of writing straight across
He runs
1t down
This way.
And If space still is waiting him,
Has caught him unawares
He gains an inch, or more perhapa.
BY
Another way
Is mighty fine;
Just shorten up
To half line.
1t eats up space,
And brings him bliss
To write it out
The same as this
But best of all is Lampton's way
OF paralyzing space;
To run it down in real "yawp" style
If one has got the face.
He
Takes his pen
In hand
And then
Just
Sings
And strings
His song
Along
Down the line.
And peo-
PIE say
It's
Fine!
And thus, you see, the CHAP who
writes
A column every day,
Has many ways
To make his plays.
And cheer him on his way.
Were 1t not so the day would come
Quite often, too. think,
When his performance, done in
verse,
Would
Be
Upon
The
Blink.

A Telephone Newspaper"

Frop1 the Chicago Tribune.
 News telephones are Budapest curiosi- ties. The system has been in operation in the capital of Hungary for several years past and is owned and managed by a private corporation, whereas the reg ular telephone system is owned by tho government and administered by the min istry of posts and telegraphs. The an nual subscribtion is nearly $750 and is paid quarterly in advance and entities the subscriber to two receivers and the full service of news, music, etc The service begins at s:55 a. m., when a buzzing noise loud enough to be heard across a large room and lasting 15 seconds, announces the correct time. At 9:30 the days pro- gramme of important events is an- nounced; that Is to say. the ceremonies, lectures, plays races, etc. At 10 and Il o'clock stock quotations and general news items are given.
 At noon comes a second announcement of the correct time, followed by parlia- mentary news and general items of news. At 12:15 stock quotations from the local, Vienna and Berlin exchanges and gen eral news. At 2 D. m. more parliament ary and general news, and at p. m the closing prices of stocks. weather fore cast, local personals and small items, and in winter the condition of the vari- ous skating places.

The rank and file of Wall street seem unable to quit the bear side. They keep taking punishment with courage Their bank accounts must be sadly weakened by the operations of the last few months. There Is but little revival of public spec ulation in the stock market, though the public Is quite active in the grain mar kets and in real estate. If securities continue to advance there will no doubt be public appearance in security specula- tion The course of conduct for the in- vestor seems simple enough-any sound stock is a wise purchase. and that the public appreciates this is evident from the constantly increasing list of share holders shown by transfer books. As an example the United States Steel corpor- ation reports more than 100000 names on its shareholders list.
 Such conditions preclude for the pres ent any extended bear movement.

NICHOLAS WALL
 STREET LETTER
BY ". G. NICHOLAS.

New York, June 5.-The security market continues to advance under the domination of favorable facts and the expression in high quarters of extremely optimistic opinion Very significant are the utter ances Of E. H. Hartman as he sails for Europe. He predicts a new outburst of speculation and the arrival of "happy times.' As a refinement of the usual ''good times.'' Mir Hartman is to be con- graduated on his choice of expression. Talking to a large audience of newspaper men just before he sailed, he was very coy concerning his mission abroad He would not state that he intended to float a large issue of Union Pacific bonds in France, but every one knows that tha. is the main object of his pilgrimage. That he can so float them goes without say ing. for French banks are just gorged with idle funds, heaped up on the fear of Balkan war-and the advantage in placing a loan in Franc is that 1t becomes practically permanent, the French in vestor not running on trifing recessions nor taking trifing profits. That MT liar riman will want his pet stocks-Union "hU oOueiiSih dClllc-lO lpOk dS BOOu aS possible during his educational campaign abroad is very sure, and his fine far-west- ern hand is already discernble in the market movement of the issues asso- ciated with his name. Hartman is no fool-certainly a most practical of prac- tical men, as certified to by no less distinguished authority than Theodore Roosevelt.

VALUABLE ITEM FOR
 MEN

It is certain that the southern climate and malarial conditions do much to weaken the capacity and strength of the majority of people, but especially of men. Certain 1t is, too, that a pow erful. bitter tonic for the nerves and blood is needed.
 Health and strength hitherto unknown will be felt surging in rich red blood through the ar teries and veins and life's great est ambitions may be realized as never before if the following special treatment is followed by those men, and women, too, who are stricken with that most dreaded of all afflictions, nerv- ous exhaustion, accompanied with such symptoms as extreme nerv- ousness, insomnia, cold extremi- ties, melancholia, headaches, constipation and dyspepsia, kid ney trouble, dreadful dreams of direful disasters. timidity in ven- turing and a general inability to act naturally at all times as other people do. Lack of boise and equilibrium in men is a con stant source of embarrassment even when the public least sus- poets 1t. For the benefit of those who want a restoration to full, bounding health and all the hap piness accompanying 1t, the fol- lowing home treatment is given. It contains no opiates or habit forming drugs whatever. Mix it at home and no one will be the wiser as to your aff1iction.
 The treatment Is simple, thor ough and correct. Leading drug gists supply the main tinctures extracts and essences in one ounce bottles, ready to mix. Get three ounces syrup sarsaparilla compound, mix with one ounce compound fluid balmwort, and stand two hours. Add one ounce compound essence cardiol, and one ounce tincture cadomene compound (not cardamom). Shake well and take a teaspoonful after each meal and one at bedtime.
 The ingredients are used for various prescriptions.
