may put them on their feet again."
Not many days ago the doctor had
occasion to visit a woman who occu-
pied one small tenement room with
her three children. After making out
prescription he gave her 81. telling
her to buy the medicine and to use
the change for needed food. On the
following day as he was about to en-

met the ten-year-old daughter of the
patient.

ivory white villa on gray crag in a
garden of palms and roses, fronting

entertain his friends with practical
jokes.
One night, after roulette at the ca
sino and supper at Ciro's, party Of
young men were taken to the villa. A
certain young man had drunk little
too much vintage champagne at the
elegant restaurant. and him the host
resolved to play one of his jokes upon.
So when the young man fell asleep

pressing their smiles. carried him
away.
The other guests were awakened the

When to Stop ADVERTISING.

An English journal requested num-
Der of the largest advertisers to give
their opinions concerning the best time
to stop advertising, and the following
replies were received:
When the population ceases to multi
ply and the generation that crowded
on after you and never heard Of you
stops coming on.
When you have convinced every
body whose life will touch yours that
you have better goods and lower prices
than they can get anywhere else.
When you stop making fortunes sole

When younger and fresher houses in
your line cease starting up.
When you would rather have your
own way and fail than take advice
