The Manicure
Lady
BY WILLIAM r. KIRK,

kkY SEEN q thing when l was do
ing some shopping this noon,
said the Manicure Lady. tina.
reminded me of my childhood dsvs
back in the old village. There was
old fellow with chin whiskers on tn,,
came into the swell department stor.
where l was shopping, and after he
mad bought pair of gloves he asked
the clerk If that was the very hos,
she could do on the price. OF course
the girl behind the counter looked a,
him and laughed and said that oh.
couldn't cut no prices; so the old fell
low threw the gloves back and tol6
her to keep them. He said he was
going somewhere with his trade
where people would appreciate him
and the money he spent"
II suppose that broke the styns
heart" said the Head Barber.
She didn't care none. OF COARSE
said the Manicure Lady, but 1t kind
Of set me to thinking that there ia
lot of people in this world like that
old guy with the fringe OF his lower
Jaw He was In there to spend a. dol
lar and get about ten cents over a
dollar in value. And even then he
thought that the store people ought
to look for him with outstretcned
arms and treat MIN like prince.
u remember when we lived in
small town. George. We had that
kind of stuff handed to US on every
side. The old gent used to keep
hotel when I was a mere child--ona
Of them country hotels where there
Is accommodation for man and beast.
and you could take your pick which
kind of accommodations you wanted,
remember one time an old farmer
walked up to father and said: Ed,
| always stop here for my dinner
every time l come to town five or
six times every year. And l always
pay my 20 cents for dinner without
no squeal. Don't you think you ought
to throw in a good cigar with the
dinner once In a While| l remember

RUSHED SHIPMENT
 10 BORDER CITY In Hopes of Helping Sick Son of c M. Rein, Prom inent Texas Manu-
 facturer

C. M Rein, Jr., secretary and treasurer of Rein X Sons, Houston, Tex, one of the largest printing houses of the south, after being stricken with yellow jaundice, was sent to Fl Paso in hopes that a change would bring relief. His condition grew worse and shipment of liquid Vitalitas was rushed to him from Hous- ton.
 "I was as yellow as a pumpkin and ter ribly sick from the surplus bile that was poising my system.'" said MT. Rein. "1 could hardly get about at all when reached Fl Paso. I received by express three bottles of Vitalitas and a message from my father who sent them, to begin taking Vitalitas at once. He had him. self been taking it for nervousness and he then rushed supply to me. It did me good from the start: the awful sickness began to leave me and the yellow to fade from my skin. I could note the effects immediately on my liver and bowels, and in short it rapidly relieved and cured me It was remarkable how quick I gained strength and energy. Had I known Of Vitalitas my long trip to Fl Paso might have been avoided"
 Liquid Nitalitas is just as nature made It. It Is the most remarkable corrective and tonic known to man. Poisons are swept from the system and new vital force is given to the entire body.
 Call and see the Vitalitas demonstrator and have a sample drink of Vitalitas to- day at Averyt's Drug Store, 109-i11 Twen- tieth street, or write there for infcrma- tion.

Chicago, December 4.-C. P. Bortsche, ward politician and for years lead ing figure, in Chicago's underworld, to- day followed the lead of Frank Ryan, leader of a clairvoyant ring here, and told the grand jury what he knew of relations between certain policemen and criminals. Nine indictments were voted against members of the detec- tive bureau, according to Maclay f1oyne, states attorney. Bertsche, who with James Ryan, was convicted of having swindled Mrs Hope l.. McEldowney of La Crosse, Wis, of $15,000. has been at outs with the police department since a revolver fight on busy down. town corner sometime ago, as result of which Detective James Monaghan and William Egan and Bertsche went to a hospital with bullet wounds.
 After leaving the jury room Bertsche told of an agreement he said he had made with Capt. John J. Halpin, until recently in charge of the detective bu-
 reau, and Lieut.. John Tobin by which
 Frank Ryan and his men were to have
 a monopoly on the clairvoyant business downtown.
 q paid those coppers as high as 5000 a month" said Bertsch, and what did I get? A couple of bullets. They tried to make a Rosenthal out of me-"
 Tonight Hoyne made public more o' the secrets of Frank Ryan's account
 books in which the records of the clair voyant trust were kept. The common
 method of division of the spells. ac- cording to the books, was 45 per cent for the swindler, 40 per cent for the police, 10 per cent for the owner of the place and per cent for the "fixer.'

EUFAULA

Eufaula, December 4.-(Speclal. )-Mayor Mercer and the city council decided at meeting tonight that necessary retrench- ment in the citys finances must begin. The former asked that his salary of s6O0 a year be cut to $40O, while the aldermen decided upon a 10 per cent cut in their own compensation. The proposition is to be put up to other city employees, as no reduction can be made in their salaries without their own consent.

MANY EVIDENCES
 OF BETTER TIMES Growing Ease of Money Re- flected in Market TRADE IS IRREGULAR War Orders Boost Export Trade, But Cotton Exports, Despite Recent Expansion, Are Still Below
 Last Year
TRADE IS IRREGULAR

New York. December 4.-Bradstreets Review will say tomorrow:
 Financial recuperation and resump ton make for improved basic condi- tions for the future. but irregularity still is the distinguishing feature in trade and industry and very plainly marked line of divergence is visible between export and purely domestic trade movements The resumption of bond dealings at New York and in stocks and bonds at outside markets, the reopening of the call money mar ket the growing ease of money reflect ed in that market and in the market for commercial paper, are all evidences of progress and point to an early res toration of complete financial and credit machinery.
 In export trade war orders and grain exports furnish sources of marked ac- tivity, though cotton exports, despite further expansion and the largest weeks total since the war began. are still far below a year ago. Demand for American products to be used by the troops in the field is in turn re- flected in activity in favored industries and many lines are reported busily em : ployed thereon.
 Bank clearings this week, according to Bradstreet's were s3,094, 135, 900, a decrease of 19.5 per cent from last year. Business failures for the week were 44S against 356 in the corresponding week of last year. Wheat exports, in- cluding flour from the United states and Canada, 9.S75,99l bushels against b,317958.
