He gets the ice p wherever he goes—no welcome forhim, no relief for his woes! He is kicked from hotels by the janitor's feet, police- men begrudge him the use of the street, he's chased from the alleys as though but a dog, and turned from the doors of the swell synagogue; he must drag out his days in the best way he can— the world has no use for the moneyless man: Supposing it's true, why .should cuss words be hulled like bricks at the poor old long-suffering world?

And why p should industrious citizens give to loafers in- festing the towns where they live? When bitter misfortune comes down on a guy who's shown thatlte's honest and willing to try, the world loosens up in a praise worthy way, and does what it can for that sufferingjay. But most of the hollow-eyed moneyless men have bunkoed this planet again and again. I don't blame the world that it's likely to pan on the chestnutty spiel of the moneyless man. --Walt Mason in the Star. 1 1 Most Complete Stock" of Spring Goods in all General Uoe-s in Town CLOTHING Our line of Gents' Youths' and Boys' Clothing is up to the minute in every particular.

The animal created consternation in the district. When in doubt about what 'to eat— eat ham and eggs. This time of year the appetite has a fashion of becoming indifferent and refusing to respond at the mention of dishes that usually cause it to take on a keen Ham edge. H r and eges, served country- style, will usually supply the want. In frying ham country style choose slices not too thin. If very salty, it may be neces- sary to parboil it. Trim and place in a heated frying pan, using no fat, and fry over a quick fire for ten minutes. Allow six eggs to a slice of ham. Break the eggs into a bowl. Add two tablespoonfuls of sweet cream and beat thoroughly. Salt and pepper slightly and when the ham is almost done turn the eggs over it in the pan and fry un- eil they set. Serve on a large platter garnished with curly parsley, BRICK AND TILE YARD PROPERTY FOR SALE Theundo_°signed ({feta for rule his two hick and the yard properties.
