s% THE AMERICUS DAILY TJMES-RECOKDER: FRIDAY, NOVEMBER 20, 1891. AiunT laSo Like another woman —the one who’s used Dr. Pierce’s Favorite Prescription. She’s a stronger and a happier wonpn— and a healthy one. The aches, pains, and weaknesses, that made life miserable are -gone—the fane tional disturbances r or irregularities that eaused them have been cured. Face and figure show the chan; too. Health has restored I charms that rightfully belong to ier. For all tbe weaknesses and ailments peculiar to womanhood, -■**Favorite Prescription” is a posi tive remedy. Ho other medicine for women is guaranteed, as this is, to give satisfaction in every case, -or the money is refunded. It’s pro prietors are willing to take the risk, mat it • ' A BLACKING MONOPOLY.

It’s the cheapest medicine y can buy, because it’s guaranteed to give satisfaction, or your money is returned. Ton only pay for the good you get. Can yon ask more ? That's the peculiar plan all Dr. fierce’s medicines are sold on. This is the wag 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 your money. Comfort isn’t all of It though. Soft Eyelets, and “bones" that can’t break or kink—Ball’s corsets have both of these.

And soft haa come about that capitalists have not disdained to take hold of the bootblucking basi licas. While waiting for a lawt outside of the Twenty-third street ferry to Jer sey City a Sim reporter got a shine from a remarkably bright and efficient Amer ican hoy, whose mode of denning and shining indicated a good deal of experi ence. “Why don’t you go inside and pick up, business on the boats, where yorir cus tomers can get coiufortatil , seats?" in quired the reporter. ' “I wish I could," said the ls>y, “but they won't let me do it." “Why. I have seen hoys ou the boats blacking lamts, and they seem to make lots of money." 1 “Yes. They don't see a day that they do not pick up at least a dollar, and from that all the wa^ up to three or four, or sometimes five.' But they can't keep tlie money themselves." “Why not?" “They have to give it up to the Italian padrones. There are three Italians who have bought the right from the railroad company, and they are the only ones who are permitted to black boota on the ferrytmats. They have hired a lot of Italian boys, to whom they pay three dollars or fonr dollars a week, and tbe boys are compelled to give up all their earnings to the padrones who hire them. If the boys do not tarn in un amount that is believed to be all their earniugs the |iadroiies put on spotters and watch them, aud see that they do pay up. BOOTBLACK PRINCES. "Well, wiiy don't yon go in and buy the right to shine hoots on the boats?” “Me? Why, do yon know what those padrones juiy for the right to black boots on all the boats? They pay over $2,000 a year, and keep the men’s cabins clean. A poor hoy liasu’t much chance to get that job. I used to work for tbem, but 1 find I can make more money bv stand ing ontside and catching some of the customers before they get ou the' boat. Then nil I get is clean profit, and I don't have to pay over to any padrone." On all the stenmiioats and steam-hips and railroads, nt the hotels, in front of saloons—in fact, everywhere where men go there are to be fontul capitalist boot' blacks who hire the best places, or there is an arrangement by which the owner of the boat or hotel or barber shop hires some one to do the bootblacking and taken the money himself. There have thus arisen several bootblack princes, sntii ns tlie enterprisisg Italian who has tlie monopoly of tlie bootblacking nt the Produce exchange, or tlie happy colored gentleman who does up the business iu tlie Equitable building. Many of tlie bootbluck princes buve wires utid families and nice homes, and they dress well and live well. At the big hotels the income from the privilege of blacking I loots is a considerable part of tbe revenue of the house. It has long ceased to i>e a perquisite of tlie servant. A chair in a good place will yield five dollars a day for bootblacking, and on extra occasions a good deal more. Tiie bnlk of the work is done by men. It really requires considerable lame and sinew to black a pair of boots well, and the man who has once noticed tlie differ ence between the way an average boy- does it and the way a man takes hold of the work will not care to risk tbe boy's work ngain. ART IN BLACKING BOOTS. There are a good many points about blacking boots that give scope to the genius of the workman, aa in all manual occupations. The bootblack who once establishes a reputation for qnick and good work lias bis fortune made. Men will go out of their way to meet him, and will wait their tarn as for a favor ite barber. On hut days bootblacks' chairs are very tempting on the street corners in tbe shade, and many a man stops and takes a shine just for a rest. Tlie sum mer is the bootblacks’ harvest, because there is so much traveling aud so much dost. Some saloon keepers exact rent from tbe Italians who have chairs for bootblackiug in front of their saloons. Others are content to tue the Italians’ services iu cleaniug np the place or for running errands. Sometimes the pro prietors come out and occupy the chairs as lounging places, to the great chagrin it tlie Italian owners. Some time ago it was poinfed out that a good many women would get their shoes cleaned and shined us men do if they could have the same facilities. Nobody seems to have acted on this sug gestion yet. But it seems likely that there would be money in it. When one man finds ont that there is money in it others will follow. As it is, tunny women are ashamed of their shoes, and long to get up on the chairs and have a shine. Occasionally a venturesome girl does so, but she generally finds herself un object of considerable cariosity. Improvements may 1n> seen in tlie evo lution of the bootblacking business. Fancy chairs, better biacktttg, a man at each foot, the use of chamois bancs for finishing, little points of attention to dress, the varnishing of rnsset shoes, the oil shiue—all these show that the boot blacks are in harmony with the spirit of the age; that they have their eyes open to the necessity for keeping pact) with the pi ogress that is going on in other de partments of human activity. When the chorus of tbe nations culls upon each lraaiuess to show, what it has done of im portance in the evolution of society the modem bootblack will take no subor dinate place, bat he will shine like one of his own most polished shoes.—New York Sun.
