way. Ignorance of conditions and locations costs
money. He was left at the elevated loop and inquired his way at the window,
while the crowd fussed at his heels to get past him. When he laid down
his nickel he said to the woman, "Ticket, please." She took his coin with
a swoop and rung It up, and while he was ivalting for the ticket the mad
crowd caught him and hurled him onto the platform. "Ho I take the train
going this way or that way to get to Shcrldau Park?" he asked of a man
who was too busy to answer.
'They only go one way," laughed a second Individual who was kind
enough to notice his predicament. Once more the crowd pushed him. this

feet and landed in a (at lady's lap as the elevated train swung around a

a stalwart grip as the curves lashed him like a string In the wind. He
expected every minute to hear the conductor coming to put him off becauss
be had no ticket, and he wondered if he hadn't already passed his station.

continued to rend his paper. The greenhorn look to the platform after that,
and set his grips down on the opposite side from where the gates opened
last. At the next stop the gates opened on his side and he blocked traffic
while he moved again, lie was woefully uncomfortable ns it was, but when
the gate swung open unexpectedly at the next stop and hit him on the nose,
he was ready to quit the maddening mart forever- if he ever got off that train.
He heard the guards calling out, "Local train! l.ocal train!" "Express
train!" "Split express!" nnd other things he did not understand and he
gave up all hope of ever reaching his destination. It was a maelstrom of
pandemonium, and then some. He w ished himself back in Niles Corners for
the hundredth time
There was a visible relief when he reached the station which the guard
assured him was where he wanted to go. He didn't know ; he had forgotten.
By the dim light of a street lamp he brought out the paper on which was tho
address he sought. Then he began to wonder which way to r.tarl He asked
a boy who didn't know, a man who was a stranger in the neighborhood, and
suburbanite who told him in a general way to go south and then east.
He knew which way straight up was, and he was almost prepared to go that
way, but as for north and south, he was in a quandary. It was growing
dark and he must find that number. He set out by instinct, much like a
carrier pigeon returns to its nest, and walked until he was tired. Then
policeman set him right and he found the number. He rapped and nobody
came to the door. It was a big stone place and he wondered if his friends
owned it all. He rapped again. Then he noticed a card with their name In
the hallway and he rang the bell. Still nobody came. He heard a faint voice
ask who was there and it sounded sepulchral, as though it ram" from the
uttermost recesses of the earth. Could his friends live in the basement?
He rang again and at last a maid came down the stairway and asked him
through the closed glass door what he wanted. He told her and she went
back up stairs, lie was just getting ready to leave 111 disgust when his
friend hove In sight, grasped him by the hand and cried:
"Why didn't you answer the tube, Hank? The women folks are afraid
of burglars, you know."
Hank was so glad to find his friend he forgot hln trouble and began to
enjoy city life at once. It is always thus when the greenhorn first visits
Chicago.

Have you watched a crowd of men in the rotunda of a city hotel; how
they walk about peering into each other's faces, watching each new arrival,
always hoping and looking for some familiar faco
among the countless strange ones? Then It is the
words of the captain in "Doiubey and Son" come to
mind:
"Wal'r, my boy," replied the captain; "In the
Proverbs of Solomon you will find the following words: "May we never
want a friend in need, nor a bottle to ghe him!' When found, make a
note of."
Above all things, abovs the love of money, or even the love of man
for woman, is the love of man for man. Uke seeks like and will not be
content without it. Tho fellowship, the understanding, the sociability that
men have for men, Is everywhere noticed. In the old familiar walks, one
may forget or grow careless, or be cloyed on this association, but let a
man go from those he knows to a foreign city, and his eye will search and
search the passing fares for a familiar physiognomy. He may meet one
whom at home he liked little and the meeting will be as of the truest friends.
They talk of the home folks, the home events, each hoping to gain from
the other news he himself does not possess. They becomu

Mull's Grapa Tonic Cures Constipation.
When the sower of a city becomes stopped up, tho refuse backs
into the streets ..here it decays and rots, sprouting disease
creatine germs throughout tho entire city.
An epidemic of fickiieps follows. It Is the
same way when the bowels fail to work.
The undigested food backs into the svsti in
and there it rots and decays. From this
ifestering mass the blcod saps up all thedis-
'ease germs, and at every heart beat carries
them to every tissue,just as the water works
of a city forces impure water into every
house. Tho only way to euro a condition
like this is to cure the constipation. Pills
ami tho oriliimrv cathartics will do no good.

which permanently cures the affliction.
