CONTRASTS O* SEWING WOMEN.
Advantage! ot the Factory Girl In thl
Country Over Her Sister In the City.
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

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

heart of the western world and may, if
she will, on any night see Broadway

village factory girl believes that she

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.

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."

the oolored waiter brought hi* dinner,
the Boston man found that he was to
have roast beef, stewed tomaloes, corn,

served in the usual stone china canoes.
Presently he said to the waiter, "Dick,

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.

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

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.

During the past few months we have
been publishing what some of our good
friends have called "heart-to-heart talks"
on patent medicines.
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

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

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. Large trial bottle, 50c.

edy that we know is right?that we can
back up with all our reputation for honesty
and square-dealing.
And wouldn't you rather buy that kind
of a remedy? Wouldn't you rather hold
us responsible than to hold no one
responsible? iWe are right here, right
where you can get at us every day in the
week, right where one false move on our
part will bring upon us your condemnation,
the loss of your friendship, your
patronage, your influence. Can we afford
to tell you anything that you will learn
later is not absolutely true?
Are you not safer in taking our word.
for the merits of an article, than you are
to rely on the printed statement of a patent
medicine manufacturer, whom you
never even saw and probably never will?
Common sense most emphatically tells
you that we cannot afford to depart one
hair's breadth from the rigid truth.
None of us can deny that there is sucti
a disease known as "catarrh." Those
who have it, or who have had it, know
that it is one of the hardest diseases to
cure. i ^
Perhaps the worst thing about catarrK
is its prevalence. Almost everyone? "I
especially in a climate like ours?has
catarrh in some form or another. That is
what has made the "catarrh cure" busi- ,
ness so profitable. There are so many ' , v
thousands of cases of the disease and it is
so hard to cure, that the patent medicine
manufacturers have reaped a harvest in
preparing remedies that appeal to this
large class of sufferers.
One of the most serious things afrout j
catarrh is that it breaks down the sys
tem, so that#the sufferer becomes a prey
to other diseases. This fact has led the
proprietors of so many "catarrh cures"
to advertise their remedies as a specific
for almost every disease under the sun. f| .'i
We have ONE catarrh cure that we
are willing to say to you; "We know
this is all right. Take it home and use it
with'the full assurance that if it does not ' |
cure you, you can bring it back to us >
and we will promptly refund your .
monejr." That catarrh cure is
