You cay that the worlds misus ed

That everything goes dead wrong;
That the right is not triumph ant,
That the weak bow to the strong.
Look up, oh, despairng brother.
Why take such morbid view ?
Don't blame the world for your

1t isn't the world its you'll
You say that the world Expresses,
That it never will treat you

That evil and vice are rampant,
That misery's everywhere.
You argue. you have no chances
Of working your passage through

You tell me the world is fckle,

DEAFNESS CANNOT BE CURED

by local applications, as they can
not reach the diseased portion OF
the ear. There is only one way to
cure deafness, and that is by con-
stitutional remedies. Deafness is
caused by an inflamed condition OF
the mucous lining of the Eustachian
Tube. When this tube is inflamed
you have a rumbling sound or i'm
perfect hearing, and when it is en-
tirely closed, Deafness is the result.
and unless the Inflammation can be
taken out this tube restored to its
normal condition, hearing will be de-
stroyed forever; nine cases out of
ten are caused by Catarrh, which is
nothing but an inflamed condition OF
the mucous surfaces.
We will give One Hundred Dollars
for any case of Deafness (caused by
catarrh) that cannot be cured by
Halls Catarrh Cure. Send for cir.
culars free.

about 1880 o'clock. When discover
ed, the whole roof was blazing in

before anything could be done, a
nearby wagon shed and chicken COOP
were set on fire by the sparks. All
hat could be done by the fremen

Heeping the flames down as much as
possible. Luckily, there was no stock

The property belonging to Mr.. George

Quite recently a number of literary
and linguistic experts have broken
lances in defense of the use of
slang" and have even gone to the
extent of advocating it's use as snort
cuts to clearness of expression. That
may be so from the viewpoint of
these learned gentlemen, but it can
not be denied that slang has it's
dangers. This is illustrated by a
case which happened the other day.
A policeman along the waterfront
saw an old man with covered bas-
ket on his arm coming from one
of the docks and, considering the
mans movements suspicious, stopped
him and inquired what he had in
his basket. Rats" answered the
old man and the policeman, consid-
ering this answer insulting to his
dignity, arrested the man. When the
case came up before the police court.
the magistrate also asked the prison
er what his basket contained.
Rats, your honor" answered the
man, white rats, which l bought
from one of the sailors" Needless
to say, he was discharged.

No More Tree Shines III The
Shoe Stores
Begging On The Streets Seems
TO Be Profitable
Other Stray TUpiCS From
Old New York

New York, Feb. 5.-The Jewish
charity organizations of New York
have shown considerable indepen-
dence by declining a bequest of one
million dollars made dependent upon
the condition that they should form
enc large central organization con-
trolling and managing the collection
and distribution of charity funds for
the various Jewish charitable insti-
buttons. Representatives of the six
principal organizations met and, af-
ter careful and serious consideration
of plan submitted TO them, elected the
same, thus giving up their claim to
the million dollars which the late
Louis A. Reinsheimer 'willed to
federation of the six largest Jewish
organizations, provided one should
be formed within a reasonable time.
The plan of centralizing the Jewish
charity work was considered unfeas-
ible and disadvantageous to the va
rious institutions. 1t is well known
and acknowledged fact that the Jews
take excellent care of their poor and
that their charitable institutions are
medels in their equipment and man
agement. 1t was feared that the
Capitalization plan would interfere
with the efficient management Of the
institutions and, rather than sacrifice
this efficiency the representatives of
the six institutions decided to give
up the million.

A somewhat unusual advertisement
which recently appeared in severa'
New York papers led to the disclos.
ure of facts which show how recN-
'ess some girls are in spending their
parents money on fnery. In the
advertisement a wealthy woman, liv-
ing in Newark, N. j.. warned all mer-
chants that she would not be respon-
sible for any debts contracted Dv
her daughter. 1t appears that the
daughter referred to in the advertise
ment, handsome and gay society
girl of Newark, N. j., has perfect
ly abnormal penchant for silk hosiery
of the most fascinating and expen-
sive kind. Not only was she in the
habit of indulging in her hobby to
the full extent of her pin-money
allowance, but when the latter was
exhausted she did not hesitate t
purchase more stockings and have
them charged to her mother. Re-
monstrances and energetic protests
were futile and as last resort the
mother had eh advertisement men
toned inserted in the papers. 1t is
reported that the silk-stocking-mad
young lady has a terrible "grouch"
and has cancelled all her social en-
gagements-at least for a wh,e. 1t
is expected that she will soon change
her mind and appear with new silk
hose, more fascinating than any she
has ever had before.

Heretofore the shoe dealers in this
city, or at least a great many Of
them, made it practice to maintain
stands in their stores where their
customers could have their shoes
shined free of cost. The privilege
was abused, however, by many men
not customers of the respective deal
ers and the tremendous increase of
free shines finally became great
burden to the dealers. One dealer
has conceived of a clever plan which
promises to find many imitators. Ev-
cry one has to pay five cents for a
shine under the new rule, but he re-
eeives in return a claim check for
the nickel, which he can apply at
face value when purchasing q pair
OF shoes. Supposing that a man has
three "shines" week, it will take
him only twenty to thirty weeks to
accumulate enough claim checks to
pay for a new pair of shoes.
