A VERSE FOR THE BEGGAR.
Victor Hugo's Response to the Old
Blind Soldiers Appeal.

A Frenchman, writing recently upon
THE Mend;cants of Paris" recalls a
pretty anecdote of Victor Hugo and Il
blind beggar. The beggar was an Old
soldier. very feeble and quite sight
less. who was led every day by his
little granddaughter to Il certain street
corner. where he waited patiently for
such scanty arms as the hurrying pub
lie might drop into small box that
hung from his neck.
One day group of gentlemen halted
near him. chatting. and he heard the
name by which they called the one
who fingered longest. Reaching for
ward as he, too, was about to go, he
caught him by the coat.
"What do you want. my good man?"
asked the gentleman. u have already
given you > sous"

you" replied the veteran. ut is some
thing else that want"
"What is it?'

"You shall have Them" said the gen.
tleman, and he kept his word. The
next day the blind soldier bore on his
breast placarl with a stanza to
which was appended the name of Vic
tor Hugo. and the aims in the box

RECALL PETITION GROWS

HOQUIAM, Feb. Men who are
engaged in circulating the petition for
the recall of Mayor Harry Ferguson,
state that they have more than the
required number of names to secure
the election, but they will not stop
working until they have 1000 sigma
lures. 1t is said that Mayor Fergu-
sons friends are signing the recall
Cor the purpose of having the cleo
ton called and re electing him, then
he could not be recalled during his
years.
Ii the election is called, it is doubt
full whether Ferguson will be re-
elected. While hundreds who voted
against him have refused to sign the
recall, yet they would not vote for
him if given another opportunity,
while it is said that many who help
ed put him in Office will not sign the
recall, nor will they support him if
another election is called.
There is also a feeling in this city
that Ferguson has not been given a
fair show and in this case, many will
support him to give him an oppor
tunty to make good.
Until such a time as the election
is held, there is no telling what will
happen and before Ferguson is GUST
ed, the matter of who will be his op-
ponent will largely figure in the out

HORSE TAILS.
We Import Them From All Over The
World and Also Export Them.


World and Also Export Them.
An item that seemed odd in the n lni-
fest of steamer lately arrived from
Japanese and Chinese ports was this
in the list of her cargo from Tientsin:
Fifty-6ve cases of horse tails.
AS matter Of fact. horse tails or
the hair thereof are common article
of importation into this country from
China and from pretty much every
other country on earth The American
market gets large quantities of them
from China, but more from Russia.
and horse tails are imported here from
every other European country and
from South America. from Australia.
from all round the world. On the 9TH
er hand. there are more or less Ameri-
can horse tails exported.
From various causes the supply of
horse tails, like that of anything else,
may in one country and another vary
from year to year. and there may be
years when the worlds supply is short
and years when it is PLENTIFUL with
corresponding changes in the range of
prices. Horse tails have sold as low
as 20 cents a pound, and they have sold
for as much rs 50 If stocks are scarce
and high in London and ample at low.
er prices here New York importers ship
horse tails to London. In the contrary
circumstances London importers might
ship horse tails here.
Uorsetail hairs are sorted for length
and colors, and they are used either
alone or mixed with other fibers in the
manufacture of various sorts Of brush
es and mixed with other materials in
the manufacture of haircloth. - New

ALL YOU NEED IS A
CAsCARET TONIGHT
No Sick Headache, Bilious Stomach
Coated Tongue or Constipated
Bowels by Morning.

Turn the rascals out--the head
ache, the biliousness, the indigestion,
the sick, sour stomach and foul
gases--turn them out tonight and
KEEP them out with Cascarets.
Millions OF men and women take
a Cascaret now and then and never
know the misery caused by lazy
liver, clogged bowels or an upset
stomach.
Don't put in another day in dis
tress. Let Cascarets cleanse and
regulate your stomach; remove the
sour, undigested and fermenting
food and that misery-making gas
take the excess bile from your liver
and carry out of the system all the
decomposed waste matter and poison
IN the intestines and bowels. Then
you will feel great.
A Cascaret tonight will surely
straighten you ont by morning. They
work while you sleep. A 1O-cent box
from any drug store means d clear
head and cheerfulness for months
Children love to take Cascarets be-
cause they taste good--never grippe
or sicken.
