Yon may see in any one of perhaps hundred shops in tins city colorless, sad Byed, dingily clad women bending over tewing machines amid sqnalid snr* roundings, with no outlootf.save through I window openin^bpon a sordid street. Yon may see in at least a score of conntry villages 50 miles from any great jity a crowd of neatly clad, happy looking girls and women busied with like iasks, but amid clean and pleasant surmnn^inng TOitVi slimTlRM of a fimilinS kuuuu.?^, O X- w landscape through every window. The New York women, released from their toil, hasten home to gloonty tenement lodgings and unwholesome fare. The village girls troop from the factory to modest but clean and pleasant homes where food is fresh and abundant. The New York sewing machine woman is an insignificant unit in a great community. She feels daily the pressure of ber fellows that are ready to take her place and her earnings. She hears from embittered men and women talk of the rights of labor and the greed of wealth. She knows that her earnings would not keep some of her rich sisters in cut flowera Whenever she stirs out of her own dingy quarter, it is to see at every step evidence of the luxury in which some live and of the contrast between her lot and theirs. The village factory girl has hardly beard that there is a labor problem. Her $200 or (250 a year, earned at the sewing machine, clothes her well, procures for her small luxuries and helps to keep the family above want. She makes little pleasure trips hither and yon when work is slack and looks forward with confidence to marriage and a home of her own, clsan, sweet and comfortable. She never sees among her fellow townsfolk one who has any essential comfort that she lacks, and nine women out of tea in the village have less to spend on AUxm mUa Vi on GUa na?AV DflQO O UI csa L'JLiiUl QUO UQOt iiOTVA uvuu H hungry or ragged person, unless it be an occasional tramp, and she hardly grasps the meaning of what she now and then hears abont the lives of the poor in great oities. The New York slave to .the sewing machine lives half an hour from the heart of the western world and may, if she will, on any night see Broadway and its throngs by electrio light The village factory girl believes that she would be happy to give up all her comforts for the other's privilege of seeing at will the splendors of the great city. The New Yoik sewing woman would not, if she could, change places with the village factory girL?New York Sun. Turfman's Tale. A New Jerseyman told me a good story the other day on one of our foremost turfmen, a man whose name ifl perhaps printed oftoner than that of any other connected with racing in America. A good many years ago this turfman, who was not then deep in the racing business, arrived in Jersey City with a trainload of mustangs from the plains of Texas. He knew nothing of the laws of the state nor of the ordinances of the city, fie knew that he wanted to sell his mustangs and thought the best way to do it was to sell them at auction. Being somewhat gifted in speech, he determined that he would be bis own auctioneer. The sale started out welL Fair prices were realised. Suddenly it was interrupted by policemen, who demanded a view of our friend's license. "License?" he said amazed. "What license? I haven't any license of any kind." x "Well, you can't sell horses In this city without a license. You'll have to oome along. No monkey business with us." Of course he went along, but he was lucky enough to find at court a friend (a lawyer), who went bail for him in the Bum of $50. Then the lawyer said: "A license< costs $250. You are under bonds. Go ahead and finish your Bale, collect yonr money and skip out. Give ?ie $50 to settle the forfeited bond, and you are $200 ahead of the game." It was done accordingly. The turfman and bis friend met in the St. Jamea hotel lately and langhed over the joke. ?New York Press. Cattlag It Short. A barber's shop is sometimes a trying place for men who diElike to hear other people gossip. The barber, especially if he has a little shop and is alone, must talk to his customers. Here is a scene in a country barber's shop, a fall bearded and rather soar looking gentleman being in the chair. "Hair cut," says the customer. "All right, sir. How'U you have it out?" "Short." "H'm?purty short, or only middlin?" "Very short." "H'm?I wouldn't if I was you, air." "Why not?" "I don't think very short hair would guit you at all well, sir." "Oh, yes, it would. It would suit me exactly." "H'm?what makes you think so, 6ir?" "Because I shouldn't have to come here for a long time." "Oh I" The barber cuts away in silence and very short?London Tit-Bits. On* Spoon Enoagh. A Boston man traveling throagh the Boath was obliged to stop over in a small town where then was but one hotel, at which the accommodations were hnrdly to be called elaborata When the oolored waiter brought hi* dinner, the Boston man found that he was to have roast beef, stewed tomaloes, corn, peas, potatoes and coffee, the vegetable* served in the usual stone china canoes. Presently he said to the waiter, "Dick, pass the spoons." The waiter rolled his eyes in genuine amazement. "Spoons, sah! What yo' want with the spoonsf There's yo' spoon in jro'oom."?Saa trrancuoo Argoanuc. I ^ CHILDREN'S COLUMN. ? > Johnny Whlppen'* Itfw Watch. Johnny Whippen wanted a watch on hlf birthday and wanted everybody to know he wanted it. For weeks In advance a^ breakfast, lunch and dinner he told hif fathor, mother, 6isters and brothers how hn vnamed for the timepiece. His persistent harping on the mattei finally became unbearable to the othez members of the family. When Johnny mentioned the word ''watch," they became severely silent. But Johnny kept right on. One evening he was sitting In the drawing room with his father and concluded It was a good opportunity to do a little lobbying for himself. "Say, pa." "Pa" laid down his paper on the table and looked sternly at the boy over his spectacles. "Now, Johnny, I am going to put my . foot down on any more of this watcl lk. You are making life a "burden for ( rest of us. So, if you were intending to at k me about the watch, you had better not say anything further. Don't let me hear the word again." Johnny was repulsed, but not defeated. It was the custom in the Whippen family | for each member to quote a verse of Scrip- I ture at family worship each morning. I The day following Mr. Whippen's ulti- | matum the family met for worship. I* I was Johnny's turn to quote a verso, xie n waited until he was sure all present were I attentive, and then he slowly repeated I with great emphasis the following verse: | "What I say unto you I say unto all, I Watch." Johnny wears it in his top vest pocktt. ?Buffalo News. A Patient Patient. Flossie's doll was a very patient little thing. It never cried or 6creamed ot made any trouble. It was just as content with a bed on the floor as In the crib. One day Flossie thought Dollie was sick, and of course she felt very badly about it, and hardly knew what to do. A happy thought came to her. She dressed hastily and took Dollie to get some medicine. She found Dr. Guy In his office, but all ready to ride out. He gave her some medicine and promised to call and-vee her. Flossie waf very glad for his cheering words and the medicine. Dollie was soon better and ha? not needed any medicine since.?Our Little Folks' Magazine. A Strange Pet. Perhaps the strangest pet ever kept by man was a wasp which Sir John Lubbock caught In the Pyrenees and resolved to tame. He began by teaching it to take its meals on his hand, and in a very short pace of time it grew to expect to bo fed In that way. Sir John preserved -this pet with the greatest care. True, it stung him onoe, but then it had every excuse for doing so. Sir John was examining it while on a railway journey, and, the door being opened by a ticket collector, he uncere moniously stuffed it into a bottle, and tlx* outraged Spaniard, not feeling quite at home during the process, gave him a gentie reminder as to the proper way to treat a guest. A CTreat Hearted Little Man. There is an 8-year-old boy in Emporia with a heart in him as big as a man's, says a Kansas exchange. Observing for successive days another boy 6 years old carrying big bundles of clothes, which hie mother washed in order to earn a support for him and her, an idea struck him that a nice little red wagon would lighten his burden. So he went among his friends and collected $1.60 in nickels, and with * this ho bought the little wagon and gave it to the washerwoman's boy for a Christmas gift. The Robin's Red Breoat.

That name suits us all right?"heartto-heart talks" is just what we have intended. Thefe can't be anything more serious to a sick man or sick woman than his ailment and the remedies he or she takes to cure it. Our talks have been "Heart-to-heart." Every word we have printed has been written in absolute earnestness and sincerity, and judging from what our customers tell us, we have not been talking in vain. We are convinced that our frankness has been appreciated, and that our suggestions have been welcomed? which naturally encourages us to continue. To-day, and perhaps for some time to come, we want to tallc about that big class of remedies known generally; as "catarrh cures." ' Broadly speaking1 th'ese are the patent medicines that have been the chief targets for the attacks of the "Ladies' Home Journal," "Collier's Weekly" and other magazines which are waging such' a lively warfare against patent medicine abuses. As we Have pointed out In previous talks, it is not our business to pass judgment on the crusade of these well'known, highly-respected publications. rThe public alone must be the judge and jury. Our business, as we see it, is to carry in stock a complete line of patent medicines, and to sell those medicines at the lowest possible price. iWe sell hundreds?yes, thousands of Bottles of so-called "catarrh cures," and know nothing of their ingredients. The manufacturers advertise them, the public demands them; we order them from the manufacturers," and sell them at the lowest price. That is absolutely as far as our knowledge goes. The manufacturer keeps his formula a secret. It may be good, or it may not?we don't know, and * " we have no means of finding out. 'Naturally, we would rather sell a rem JjSjj MUCU THere is no guess work with" us on Kexair IMucu-Tone. We know what it is made of. Not only do we know, but we will give you a copy of the formula. There is no secret about any Rexall remedy 'we make them?one thousand of us leading druggists all over America?in our great cooperative laboratories at Boston, Mass. We own the laboratories, and everything in them, and we operate them just as skillfully as our combined brains and money will let us, and just as honestly as honest men know how. The Ingredients of Muou-Tone The chief ingredients of Mucu-Tone are Gen' tian, Cubebs, Cascars Sagrada, Glycerine, and Sarsaparilla. Gentian is recognized in medicine as one of the greatest tonics ever discovered. t It is the foundation on which Mucu-Tone is built. Gentian combines in high degree the tonic powers of all the "hi't+orc " with none of the disadvantages XU1VTTU Wtkkvi Wj ?* ? ? _ applying to them. Cubebs have long been recognized as a specific in the treatment of all catarrhal conditions. Its action is prompt and its benefits almost invariable. Ia whatever part of the body the inflamed or diseased condition of the mucous membrane txists, the use of Cubebs has been recommended by the best physicians for many generations. Cascara Sagrada is especially introduced for its necessary laxative properties. The combination of these with Glycerine and Sarsaparilla makes Mucu-Tone a remedy that attacks catarrh from every point, gradually restores and rebuilds the diseased tissues to their former health and strength, promotes digestion and creates a normal appetite.
