THE DOLLAR MARK.

The universal vail of the age is
the high cost of living" From ey-
cry country and from every social
stratum il rises like dirge, spoil
ing the sunshine of content. souring
the ambrosia OF life.
And not only are the prices high.
but there Is more to buy; things that
were luxuries are becoming necessi-
ties, Injuries that we're unknown a de
cade ago are Vie commonplace exact
ions of today.
All OF rhese things cost; and TO
meet the increased demand upon the
purse thele is a madden rush in the
markets, fiercer competition in the
offices, a more uncompromising bat
tie in tie professions. The money
madness is in every brain, the get
rich fever Is throbbing in every pulse.
Under this singing lash men are
beginning to have a hunted look-the
dollar-mark face is a verify upon our
streets ard even in our homes.

was taking the last OF his personal

was making his way TO the hills for
safety. Hearing of the womans ex-
treme distress and peril he abandon
ed his belongings and hurried to the
rescue. The report goes on to say
that the assistance Of "the Rev Mr.

this relation began. Except for the
incidental reference in the dispatches
about "the man named Charlton" no
mention has been made of the Rev.
