It un't the utual tear/
—it’a just the reverse—to pajr a
patient when you can’t euro him.
Nevertheless, that’s what’s dono by
the proprietors of Dr. Sage’s Ca
tarrh Remedy. They promise to
pay you $300 if they can’t cure
your catarrh, no matter how bad
the case. It isn’t mere talk—it’s
.'business. You can satisfy Yourself
-of it, if you're interested And you
■ought to be, if you have catarrh.
It’s faith in their medicine that’s
liehind the offer. It has cured
thousands of the worst cases, where
-everything else failed. You can bo
cured, too. If you can’t, you get
the money. They’re willing to t
’the risk—you ought to be glad to
ieke tho medicine.
. It’s the cheapen medicine you
-can buy, bccaoso it’s guaranteed to
give satisfaction, or your money is
returned.
You only pay for the good you
Can you ask more 7
That’s the peculiar plan all De,
Fierce’s medicines are sold on.
This it the way
with the Ball corset: if you
want ease and shapeliness,
you buy it—but you don't
keep it unless you like it.
After two or three weeks'
wear, you can return it and
have yotur money.
Comfort isn’t all of ft
though. Soft Eyelets, and
"bones" that can’t break or
kink—Ball’s corsets have
both of these.

Who I'lsyrtl an Accordion, Expecting to
Find *a Priucely Home— Wlmt Mie Haw.
She sat all day in the dust and the
wind on the atreet corner grinding
dreary limes out of a dilapidated old ac
cordion that shrieked and groaned auil
wheezed hilt wiia never ill the least mu
sical.
•‘She owns a block of houses," 1 said
to nt> self, “and has money in the hunk.
1 shall not drop a penny in that old tin
cup. It is wrong to encourage ineudi-
eac;.."
I was only repeating what hail lieen
said In me about street impostors. Now
that I laid a good chance to study one of
these eliarafters from the window of a
hotel. I became interested. Yea. With
out doubt tins woman was an imiiostor.
Her rags of raiment were eloquent with
lluit personal (poverty which npiieuls so
strongly t" i'i sympathetic. Her head
droo(ieil n\i r recumbent figure. She
sat on the ciiroatone and mechanically
ground nut her dolefnl music.
She was there at nightfall wiieu 1
step|» d out of the hotel, but she was
prejtaring lo leave.
“Alia, luy Indy,’" I said to myself,
“here is a chance tp follow yon und see
how much of your doleful pleu is true.
If you are an im|atetor I shall soon know
it.’* and 1 skipped along in the shadow
until 1 luul traversed a long distance
from my hotel, treading alt the alleys
and intek streets in the city, it seemed to
ine.
MO DECEPTION ABOUT THW.
Then (lie climbed a pair of rickety
stairs on the ontside of a tumble down
bouse. I still followed her and groped
my way in the dark to a miserable room
in the rear, where a chorus of little
voice* saluted her.
Mamma, oh, mamma, wese been
good—weae been jes as good as wese
could. Hasn't wese. Johnny?" cried a
wau faced little girl lying on the poor
bed in the corner.
The door was left open and I slipped
snt of aight behind it. bnt I could both
see and bear, and if I was discovered,
why, I was looking for a mythical wash-
lady who once lived in those rooms,
Tbnt was all.
Dot some pread au putter, mamma?*
continued the child’s voice, while a feebly,
wail from tiie lied added its note of sup
plication.
The woman had dropped her musical
burden on the table and now site emptied
her pocket. '
'Dere's feeteeu cents, 'u'nll in pennies,
Johnnie, rnn and get some hot sausage
an a loaf of bread. An Dl boil some hot
coffee against ye'r back.”
Jobnuy could not run. lie was a
frightful little cripple, bnt be limped
away with the pennies.
Then I came forward and made my
bogus errand known, and asked to see
the sick child in the bed.
The woman looked at me suspiciously.
•• Taint dlp'tbery,” she said, “It’a con-
soompshnn, an ye cannot take her to any
hospital while 1 have breath in my
body.",
Do you go ont with that thing every
day and leave these children here alone?*
asked.
A TALK WITH THE CHILDREN.
“1 ain’t a regilur,” she whined, “the
woman—she were a Bohemiau—died
and left me that for takin’ care of her.
end play it that well yon couldn't tell
betwixt and between ns. and I give up
waahin, for this ia easier and more leddy-
like. 1 was aline that fond of innsic.”
“So am I. and if yon don't mind I will
come here sometimes and hear you play,
instead of stopping on the street—no,
as she aeised np the instrument,
'not tonight,” and I slipped ont, leaving
humble contribution on the table.
I heard the woman singing to her sick
child before I had reached the foot of
stairs. At the corner I met crippled
Johnny. He had a brown paper pick
le of food.
‘.'Basurges 'n bread,” be said, smack
ing his lips.
“Bnt what is there for the sick baby?"
asked.
"Golly, yer ought to see her eat sas
sage? She jist snatches 'em."
'Johnny,” 1 asked seriously, “has
your mother a block of houses aud a lot
of mouey in the hank?’
What yer givin us?’ asked the boy,
staring at me. >
1 mean is—is—yonr mother |ioor?"
Ain’t she, tho’, jistnrfol soniptiwes,”
and he limped away with the food, re
garding me with wonder as he walked
backward.
1 have concluded that there must be
some mistake about the princely wealth
of this impoverished family, and that it
must be the woman with the organette
aud not the woman with the accordion
who own homes and lauds, and 1 shall
make n sneak some day and follow tier.
Then if she is the nabob in disguise 1
will let yon know.—Mpt M. L. Rayne

While I stood ut the showcase in a
cigar store the other day a music box
began playing. I looked all about the
store to see where the melody came
from, bnt the instrument was nowhere
visible.
Finally the storekeeper, with a broad
•mile on his face, took a cigar box down
from the row on a shelf and set it be
fore me. As he opeued the lid the play
ing ceased. Hooked into the box aud
saw that the lower half of it was de- '
voted to the innsic box.
