_ Mayor Harrison of Chicago and Mayor
Josiah Quincy of Boston: says the Hart-

ers themselves, Mayor Van Wyck is

an unknown quantity. His nomination
He said nothing during
the campaign. He. is saying nothing
since his election. Apparently he is
content that Croker should make his
appointments for him. Yet close friends
of his say that he has too strong a will
and too fiery a temper to fit into the
place of a mere figurehead and official
puppet. They remind the public that
when he was seventeen years younger
than he is now he braved Boss John
Kelly, accusing him to his face of party
treachery. They predict that his ad-

The young mayor of Chicago gave
some of the men who voted for him a

FEMININE CHATu
Why is it all hotel soap smells alike? "'
And now it’s all over, and the new
year, with its bills and its blessings,
really begins.
Ear-tabs are not becoming, but they
are infinitely comfortable and really
much piettiei than frozen appendages
that resemble the organs that have
made the Yellow Kid famous.
As soon as a man begins to think you
are a good , fellow be is apt to forget
that you can also be a good woman.
Some Of the new muffs with the head
of a fox at one end and h1s tail at the
other look indeed quite ferocious.
Love that does nOt grow weary in the
prosaic every-day intimacy of married
life is founded on the right principle.
The woman who gathers up her
skirt-s with both hands has no idea
what a spectacle she presents to the in-
dividual back of her.
The swish of skirts reveals the fact
that petticoats are chosen regardless
of color harmony in conjunction with
the gown.
Our happiness is largely controlled
by 1 our conscience. If, conscience is
dead then all sorts of counterfeits can
pass themselves off as the real article.
One never feels consumed with a mad
desire to make the acquaintance of a
woman who lets her children munch
apples and crumb cake in a public con-
veyance. '
The man who thinks he acquires dis-
tinction by trotting out on bitter cold
days with no overcoat- ucquires more
certainly the opinion of the world .at
large that he is a'deCided idiot or else
pitifully poor.
The man in a theatre box who says
he has lost. his seat coupon when he
z‘t'eally never had one should be on the
stage rather than in the audience, as
he is a'much better actor than many
who lay public claim to that title.
A Favorite Calendar.
VVit-h the approaeh of at 11c v V ear
most people discove1 the need of a new
calendar. This fact accounts for the
_ great number of these articles that
burden the mails at this time. Among
them all the one which suits us best is
that published by N. W. .Ayer & Son,
Newspaper and Magazine Advertising
Agents, Philadelphia. The 1898 edition
has just arrived and been put in com-‘
missiOn. Perhaps its chief attraction
is that the figures are clear enough to
be read across a room It is however, a
most handsome specimen of the print-
er’s art, while its business talk always
interests business men. we are not
surprised to learn that the edition has
been doubled in recent years. Its price
(‘25 cents) includes delivery by mail to
any add was in perfect condition.

hours; a sediment or settling indicates
an unhealthy condition of the kidneys
When u1 me stains linen it is evidence

to urinate or pain in the back, is also
convincing proof that the kidneys and

WHAT TO DO.
Ther'e 1s comfort in the knowledge so

Swamp-Root, the great kidney remedy.
fulfills every wish in relieving pain in
the back, kidneys, liver, bladder and

scalding pain in passing it or bad ef-

necessity of being compelled to get up
