THE aMERICUS DAILY TIMES-RECORDER: WEDNESDAY, NOVEMBER lb, 1891. tCDBCIIICMT IHO 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. Forsaleby GEO. D.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.
