The commissioner of Jurors has become
so used TO the man who calls in an en-

his advent every few minutes is unnoticed,
But when a woman entered the other dNy
and demanded that she be put down for
jury duty, the official was shocked out of
his apathy.
you want to serve on a jury?" he asked.
You must be Joking"

response. II am of age and a taxpayer.
why should I not sit on a jury, even If ]
cannot vote?"
But the law is against II, madame"

Scene in a New York lobster palace: "I
knew I am looking like a fright tonight"
said the woman.
The man studied her dress, her hair, her
complexion closely.
I don't see anything the matter with

are looking as we'll as usual"
But I am not she insisted. There is
something wrong, and tina head waiter
saw at a glance what It is. II I had been
up to the mark he wouldn't have put US
away over here, in this out-of-the-way
corner. He would have given us a table
right under the chandelier in the middle

attractive. I am glad to say that that is
where I usually sit. The plain people are

1t is estimated by Leslie's Weekly that
100000 strangers. from all parts Of the
world, visit Coney Island every year. No
resort in the United States is more widely
known than the little island fronting the
Atlantic ocean and bordering the city Of
New York. A general impression prevails
that Coney Island is given over to variety
shows and the dispensers of picnic foods
and drinks, In reality this applies to only
a portion OF the island, that nearest New
York. At the opposite end of the small
strip of sand is located one Of the most
charming and exclusive summer resorts in
the country. The visitor who wishes to
see Coney Island in summer should start
in at the westerly end, where the steam
and trolley lines converge and the enor-
nous crowds gather. then move easterly,
passing Brighton and Manhattan beaches
with their swarms of bathers, and going
beyond to the Oriental at the end Of the
island, which will be found the most at
t~ractive spot Of all for the visitor who
wants to enjoy the sea breezes in quiet
and to dine with refinement and luxury.

Persons inclined to moraliEe on the
genesis OF a tragedy may pick several
texts from the terrible fate OF Elsie Sigel.
The chief lesson OF the tragedy Is not
difficult to grasp. Conversion at the price
OF dishonor and death marks no gain for
Christianity. Better the millions of
Oriental should continue in what mission
ers call pagan darkness forever than that
one life should be lost. one home swallowed
by misdirected zeal and foolish senti-
mentality. Several years ago a New York
magistrate had occasion TO refer to the
Chinese mission, its workers and its
patrons. The Chinese Sunday school,
he said, rs simply a makeshift for these
fellows to acquire a knowledge Of Eng
lish. I haven't any patience with this
maudlin sentimentslity which induces mis-
sions and Sunday schools to send their
young women teachers with fruits, flowers
and cigarettes to these accused Mongolians,
and ! deplore the sickly condition Of Amer
lean womanhood that permits itself to be
led into such folly and to place Itself in
so false a position"
On the evening Of October 8, 1903. relates
the New York Sun, a young woman miss
sionary called at the Gates avenue station
in Brooklyn and asked to see Charley
Shue.
Il am his Sunday school teacher she
said. MY name is Dot Livingston"
Captain Buchanan told her tina Charley
was charged with a serious offense against
a 14-year-old girl.
The police ought TO have spanked her
instead Of paying any attention to the
charge" said Miss Dot Livingston.
Miss Livingston was one OF many we'll
dressed women who appeared at the sta
ton house with cakes, pies, cigarettes,
roses and sympathy for twenty Chinese
laundrymen who had been arrested on the
edges OF Brooklyn because Of stories told
by young girls. The missionaries overran
the station house and argued that the
Chinese couldn't be guilty, for they had
attended Sunday school; and even II they
were the blame should be on the girls for
overlapping them. Said Captain Buchanan
finally:
Il believe that you folks ought to keep
out Of this case. It Is disgraceful to see
a lot of women here pleading for Cinnamon
against whom there is evidence Of a shock
Ing crime. I cannot prevent you from COM
Ing here and weeping over the arrest OF
Cinnamon. but I think you would be bet
ter employed at home doing housework."
The young missionaries eventually left
the police station upon a suggestion from
their superintendent that they had been
indiscreet and should be looking after the
girls under arrest instead of carrying
solace to the Chinese, but they swarmed
into the police court a few days later. and
their conduct called from the magistrate
the remarks above quoted. The present
tragedy may properly be credited to this
and other unheeded warnings.

The authorities are unable to find
the owners of the Sc horses captured
from the horse rustlers near AMI
brose last week. It is more than
likely that the two thieves who
were driving them towards the Can
adian line, had driven them perhaps
500 miles from Canada. The officers
first went out near Colgan, where
they had the horses, and talked with
the thieves. They secured their
names, examined the horses and
went back to Ambrose where it was
decided to make the arrest that
night. At midnight they went out
again, but the men were gone. The
next morning they rounded up what
horses were left and drove them in
to Ambrose. The men no doubt saw
the officers from distance and left.
The thieves were very heavily armed
and had a pair Of field glasses.

CAUSES DEBILITY.
Hero Are Facts Backed up BY
Strong Guarantee.

DEBILITY is caused by catarrh. In
our opinion, a person free from Cat
arrh was never troubled with Debil-
ity. Debility can never be cured by
medicine not designated to cure Cat
arrh. We positively guarantee to
cure Catarrh, and thus cure Debility
In every case where we fail to effect
a cure. We will not charge a cont
for the medicine employed during
the trial. Now. surely no one should
hesitate to believe us or to put our
claim to practical test under such
conditions. We take all the risk; no
ono else can lose anything by the
transaction.
We make these statements and this
offer because we know and have
time and again proved that Rexall
Mucu-Tone will cure Catarrh. It is
designated for that one particular
purpose. It is not cure-all pre-
sertbed to cure. every disease that
