BLACKBERRY CROP FAILURE

Advices from Nicholas county
state that the blackberry crop in
that county is almost a failure, on
account of the dry weather prevail
ing when the berries were ripening.
The supply on the Paris market has
been limited and selling at an aver
age of $1.00 per bucket,
The soaring prices of sugar for
preserving and the scarcity Of the
berries has resulted in a curtailment
of the stock of preserves usually put
up by Bourbon county housekeepers.
Berries have been coming to the
market from the mountain counties,
though in small quantities, and
bringing good prices.

One of the great American insti-
buttons that is in danger of becom-
ing extinct is the old-time street
faker, as truly Yankee product as
APPLE pie, baseball, the circus and
bIack-face minstrels.
Old-timers may have noticed some
thing lacking this spring, and not
been sure just what it was. What
they miss is the street faker.
Montague Silver, greatest street
man west of the Alleghenies" and
typical of his profession, rises in
memory.
1t is a warm June evening, back
yonder in the old home town. Mon
tague's big red gypsy wagon is park
ed in the public square.
Towering above the half-awed
half-jubilant faces of the populace
is Montague himself, beaver hat,
frock coat, checkered vest, goatee
and all-including one of the Bra
lillian diamonds, large as hickory
nut, which Monty carried in stock.
Under the Pickering light of a
banjo shaped gasoline torch the, old
street faker dispensed Wa-Wa, "the
remedy whose formula I procured
while a captive among the Sioux In
dians."
When interest in tonic of 9S-per-
cent-alcohol strength waned, Monty
brought forth razors, combination
handy tools, eight handkerchiefs fol
a quarter, and the Little Giant
Prize Packet that included every
thing under the sun, especially {
trick ring for squirting perfume il
a friends eye.
Usually a street faker "came reg
ularly once year." but rarel!
twice to the same town, especial!
when the Chinese peach trees he lief
behind turned out to be dogwood o.
blackhaws.
The street faker flourished befor
the days of scientific craftsmanship
of which he was the original dis
coverer, and many captain of in
dustry'' owes much of his sellin;
ability to boyhood evenings listen
ing under the gasoline torch.
To gather the crowd together an
hold them when they grew restles
and showed signs of drifting ava
to poolroom or homes, there was
black-faced entertainer who told tn
Joke about the mule breaking it's le
when it kicked mother-in-law in tn
, jaw.
The minstrrel's sure-fire was tn
old-time favorite song, my Gals

Once in a while, these days, yo
see a Montague Silver and his black

the street faker does business from
suit-case-sized stand, cramped in

HAMIL.TON'S BODY FOUND.

The body of Charles Hamilton, of
Atlantic City, who had been missing
since Sept. 18th, was found on Sunday
night at Shooting Point, in Lakes Bay.
Early Sunday afternoon Andrew Yer
non saw a number of large birds cir
cling around that place and he made
an investigation, finding the body float
ing on the surface of the water. He
reported to the police of Atlantic City
and the body vas recovered later in
the day.
Hamilton, who was 43 years old, and
lived at 30 Haddon avenue, went in the
surf off Virginia avenue, shortly after
the guards had gone off duty on Sept.
II. While he had been with a number
of companions on the beach, they Were
unable to say whether or not he had
left the water without their knowledge.
A close watch was kept by the guards,
but nothing was seen of the body. 1t

Longport inlet. Hamilton is survived

NEAR FAITH HEALING.

Following the heels of lear beer we
are now to have near Christian Sci
ence. Evidently both medicine and
the church have failed to withstand
the inroads made by the advocates of
faith and mind healing.
1t is only a handful of years since
Mrs. Eddy's pronouncement caused the
world to ridicule, but from the tree
thus brought to blossom there soon
sprang innumerable offshoots and
gradually the theory of mind over
matter" began to force it's way.
Charlatons there were aplenty, but
bit by bit the BARRIERS of medical con
servatism were broken down, and now
there are signs of modification on the
part of the churches.
The latest concession to the newer
thought comes in the establishing in
New York City of a psycho-medical
hospital to be headed by DR.. Edward
S. Cowles, expert on psycho-therapy
and psychopathology just appointed to
the Episcopal Church Commission On
the Ministry of Healing.
The institution is to be backed by
some of the most eminent ministers,
physicians and sociologists in the
United States. 1t will permit stimuli
taneous treatment of physical and
mental ailments.
Through medical experts and minis
terial faith healers, DR.. Cowles says
the hospital will be the means of
breaking up the work of half baked
! religious enthusiasts and faith healing
pretenders."
There will be wards for philoso-
piers, clergymen, medical experts,
psychoanalysts, metaphysicians, soci-
ologists, Christian Scientists, Emanu-
elists and every denomination of heal
ers.
When the doctors find patients who
fail TO respond to treatment for phys
ical ailments, they will ~collaborate
chance to practice their curative the
cries.
Perhaps out of the compromise or
amalgamation may come a greater
longevity for humanity which has been
SO battered from pillar to post by con-
ficting theories of religion and treat
ment of human ills.

He freely CAV his discovery, which he
called Allenrhu, to others who took it.
with what might be called marvellous
success. After years of urging he decided
to let sufferers everywhere know about
his discovery through the newspapers. He
has therefore instructed druggists every
