THE HAZARD OF THE HAT PIN.

rush hour on Tuesday evening-wltn
hat which resembled in form sec
ton Of six inch drain tile. An i'm
mense hat pin was jabbed in the front
side and came out of the back side
at least three or four inches. The
point was within half an inch OF the
eyes of man wedged in behind mel
and who could scarcely move we are
not much disposed to inveigh against
the eccentricities of feminine style, oul

just such publication and for the taking
Of the public into the confidence Of the

The fact is that the greater part Of
the physicians usefulness is in an ad-

man knows this and desires to practice

cent for four months, with the loan
period extended two months by the
statutes, making the rate practically :
per cent per annlm, while payments
in installment Of 81 or more will be
received on loans.
This is but another method OF en-
abling the worthy poor to help them
selves and tide over periods OF stress
without losing their self respect and
without being robbed because OF their
misfortunes.
A SIMILAR need has been met In New
oYrk. Cincinnati and Sioux City by the
establishment Of banks whereat the
worthy poor may borrow small sums AT
a low rate OF interest. and such insti-
tutions are driving the loan ehark' out
Of business. These banks, while not as
yet out Of the experimental stage. have
nevertheless disproven the claims OF
the loan sharks that very high rates OF
interest are necessary because OF prev
alent dishonesty among the class OF
people who patronize them
