a well known attorney Of heav,

overbearing was leaving his Office il
Broad street building the other day
With his high hat Oh and carrying
walking stick, he had stepped upon th,
sidewalk when he slipped and Iandes

that shocked him as well as causes
embarrassment.
Just then another attorney who EN-
joys an equal distinction in the Iega
world passed and laughed at the falleI
lawyer When the latter was tryini
to get up he remarked to the other:
Il guess l am getting old. Ny con
stitution will not stand what II did
years ago." WV
AS he arose to his feet his FRIEND
facetiously remarked, We'll. then
Dick, you ought to get an amendment
to your constitution"
Looking at bis friend with colo

We'll, what kind Of an amendment
would you suggest IL you know *

e;o Hat. Nav Produce Badness.


London, never as exaggerated as
Americas metropolis in the matter OF
feminine fashions, nevertheless finally
has fallen victim to the enormous hats
Of straw or lace affected by summer
gowned womankind. Not only do the
English newspapers and periodicals
denounce the huge specimens Of mil
linery worn by women OF the
smart set, but they even invent hy-
gienic reasons to prove the evil Of this
type Of headwear. One west end hair
dresser, for instance. has taken 1t on
himself to denounce publicly and in
no measured tone the effect such hats
have on their wearers tresses. "As
grass turns yellow under mushroom
80 women's hair will lose its color and
deteriorate under the gigantic hats
which are now the mode" says this
specialist. "There is every possibility
Of the fair sex going bald unless a
revolution In hats is effected. First Of
| all, these enormous mountains Of mil
linery shut out the health giving sun
and air; secondly, they present such
vast surfaces to the wind that they
tug against the OBTAINING hatpins like
a kite on q string"

New York, Nov. n.--Trade reports
as whole are more uniformly favor
able than for some time past. Dis
trihrtion at retail mas quite generally
improved, largely because Of the
cooler weather and realization OF
bumper corn and oats crops. Tbs
much Better business done in retail

volume Of jobb ng records, particu
larly for seasonable dry goods, boots

In his youth Nero, was remarkably
handsome, but early In manhood his
habits Of dissipation made him ex'
ceedingly corpulent. To Judge from
his medals and the descriptions left
of him he must have weighed over 200
pounds. His features were regular,
but his eyes were so protuberant as
to be almost a deformity, and he was
nearsighted, 80 much so that he could
not recognize his acquaintance across

up. One good pistol, in the hands of the
right sort of a man, would have sent Morse's
boats back to New York
Having, by these lawless methods, become
master of the situation, Morse ruled it with
rod of iron He advanced the prices, re-
fused to sell less than ten cents worth, and
thus put it out of the reach of thousands of
poor people. In the suffocating rooms in the
tenements of those densely populated cities,
feverwasted men, debiltated women. feeble
infants, died by the score. The high prices
and the new rule were equivalent to death
warrants to hundreds of the destitute.
Morse knew perfectly we'll that his rapacty
was killing people throughout New York,
Brook yn, and Jersey City. The newspapers
exposed and denounced him, but he remained
mmovable. The sudden and startling in
crease in the death-rate demonstrated how
murderous were his prices and his new rule.

The Flinty-Hearted Monster, Chas.
w. Morse

It is strange thing to me that when the
law is vindicated against one of our big
criminals, people should sign petitions to have
him released from imprisonment.
Charles w. Morse has most unwholesome
record, which extends backward to Pat
Dodge, most peculiar divorce case, and the
voluntary submission of Abe Hummel, the
notorious New York lawyer to short term
of nominal imprisonment, after which he
went to Europe and began to spend money
like prince. At that time, Morse was very
rich man, and his love of penal servitude
was not greater than it is now. He probably
furnished the money that Hummel spent in
Europe
While the Morse divorce case is an unsolved
mystery there is no dispute as to what he did
when he was at the head of the Ice Trust.
Having secured control of the artificial sup
ply, he sent boats up the Hudson to break up
the natural ice as fast as it began to form
over the river Day after day, Nature was
prevented from creating for New York and
her environing cities natural supply of ice
as much necessary of life as bread and
water themselves, in those sitting centers of
population.
The employees of the independent COM
panies, who had been sent up the Hudson to
collect the ice as it formed on the river, were
not the right type of men for the job They
wrung their hands and cried, while Morse's
boats were ramming the ice and breaking it

We Must Establish Some County
Papers of Our Own

Men and brethren, there are two things
that we must do,-and we must not lose any
time about it. We must quit patronizing
daily papers that won't give us a square deal
and, In every county where the local paper has
sold out to the Rule Ruin ring, we must
establish paper of our own.

men and women can be easily found, and the
benefit to Old Man Peepul will be immense

Friends, you don't have to submit to that
