The Big Shoe Drive Making a Strong
Finish.

The big Brown shoe fsctory cam
paign is on ita last lap making q good
run for the finish. The biggest day
in the drive, last Wednesday, was one
of the red letter days in Union City.
Nearly all the housekeepers in Union
City were out spreading dinner Oh
the tables which stretched from First
street on Washington avenue nearly
to the courthouse. Mr.. Kaut, of the
Brown Shoe Company, said he never
saw anything quite so broadhanded
and generous.
The crowd repaired to these tables
for dinner after the meeting at the
Opera House, and there the good
work of soliciting began again.
The work proceeded thru the day,
and, we understand, the net results
were about fifteen thousand dollars.
On Thursday morning the work
was taken up where it was left We'd
nesday night, and with some return
calls and others the sum of $4,000
was reported at noon.
We went to press with the books
at the headquarters showing a sub

body in good spirits for the close up
which will be soon with the $780,

sob from the next room made him
vince. The spectre laughed again,
and went on:

He was a rich man till you met

as the horrid weeping broke forth
in the next room with renewed
sfgor, he bowed his face in his
hand. Il WILL" he cried. "She can
marry anyone she likes, if she will
! only stop that. l never heard her
! cry like that before. l tell you she
cant" He leaped to his feet and
sprang toward the door.
Its too late" said the spectre
voice. 4.
With an angry muttering Mr..
Carver sprang to turn the electric
light switch, but paused in the a t..
His step sounded harshly in the
sudden silence, for the sobbing IN
| the next room had abruptly ceased.
! He stood as il transhxed, gazing at
the closed door. What could be
happening In there?
poor little kid" he muttered to
himself. I've been a brute" He
heard whirring, buzzing SOUND,
then a crash, as Of broken, fragile
stuff. Then silence, again-com-
plete.
1t was unendurable. The shaken
father strobe to the door, his reso-
lutions cast to the four winds.
Turning the key In the lock. he
threw wide the door. The room
was empty. Did he imagine 1t, or
was there . hollow, satirical laugh

"GOne!" For q moment he felt

he not just heard terrible, heart
breaking cries which had broken
down his resistance as nothing else

the room once more.
/ From the table near the window
came . dull whirrfng note, fneon-
sequen.al stop. Mr.. .Carver's gaze
became 6xed. Not her own voice !
COULD those wrencIiing cries, which
haunted him still, have been merely
mechanical? A broken record on

l started out in my career
To get the money"-while l could.
For though the poets scof and sneer,
To have a. bunch of kale is good.
And in life's swift and busy whirl
l gathered jack with all my skill.
But failed to win me any girl,
And what is Jack" without Jill?
What though my balance at the bank
Be beautiful to gaze upon.
I find my life is bleak and blank
Without girl to spend it on;
So though l toll with all my might
To put the cold cash in my till,
l find my work is wasted, quite;
For what is jack" without Jill?
Put money in your purse; twill give
The laugh to want and hunger dread
1t makes things brighter while you live
And pays to plant you when your dead
But having money lacks in pith,

Without a girl to share>it with,

tonsils look to me as though they

the tonsils, and one Of every so OF
these succumbs. There is a GER

any harm in using agar, which l
started taking a week ago. with
good effect on my bowels? d. H.
Answer-No. Agar is prepared
from seaweed. 1t absorbs water
and. swells into an indigestihle
mass in the inteBtines, acting as a
natural stimulus to peristalis or
wave movement by its bulk.

says he feels nauseated after each
seance. What do you think?

hope. The upset is a good sign he
needed to stir up the stagnant
splanchnic pool. Make him keep

he'll ctme up smiling.
Between the Nose and Ear.
Please advise me how to get rid
of a wart between my nose and
eye. A friend advised me to rub a
piece of common washing soda on
it, which l have done twice, and
now the wart is all yinflamed.
! P. T.
/. Answer-My advice is to have the
wart removed by your doctor or a
competent skin specialist. Very
unpleasant and sometimes serious
results are produced by amateur
attempts to remove what may be
originally a slight blemish about
the face.

MARRIAGE INSURANCE IN
SIGHT.

The frequency of divorce yfoving tha4
great percentage Of marriages are failures, to-
gether with the accompanying problems Of ali
mony or other means of support for the divided
family, has very naturally. it would seem,
brought forward through enterprising insurance
men the recommendation that divorce fnsur-
ance be established as system
Two phases of the subject have been ad-
vanced. The first suggestion was that insur-
ance policies against divorce be issued, but this
seems rather unlikely to win favor with happy
brides and grooms, who. of course believe that
they will live blissfully ever after. Another
recommendation is that the policies be written
for happy marriages rather than against un-
happy ones The New York Insurance Press
suggests that joint endowment policy for hus-
band and wife, payable to both in full at the
end Of Is years or to either on the death Of the
other, would attain the desired end by sipu-
lation giving a considerably smaller benefit to
the innocent partner in case of divorce. This
stipulation would, it is thought, check hasty
divorce action on the part of the aggrieved one.
This sort OF insurance would remove some
thing of the element Of romance from marriage
and would have a tendency to jar upon tender
sentiment but this is highly practical age and
even the most loving brides sometimes have an
eye to their personal interests These are pro-
gressives days. Marriage, once thought to be
an insurance in itself for happy life, is no
longer to be depended on. The outcome is un-
certain The young bride and groom who
start out with happy hopes may be in the di-
vorce courts five years hence. II there is any
way Of increasing the stability OF welded life,
even through a cold business arrangement.
ought it not be done? II the pledges Of the
marriage ceremony are not enough. Insurance.
