Its Inventor Is Entitled tp r mX Among Public BenW m. The Lounger, in Putman's. To Hoboken belongs the greatest in ventor ot the age; for smokeless pow der and noiseless guns are as nothing to "the hookless waist." A boon to women, you say. Not at all; a boon to men, for it is men who have to hook the waist of their wives and sometimes of their sisters and their aunts. For some occult reason the hooks on a woman's . waist are so tiny that it is not only hard to see them but almost impossible to hook them. No sooner is one hooked than the other flies open. The eyes are usually made of a bit ol thread which snaps at the slightest touch, and woe betide the man when this happens. When he mumbles words "unfit to print," his wife says she doesn't see what he is making such fuss about. "If my arms were only a little longer," she adds, "I could do it myself." Then she puts her arms behind her and squirms her fingers up and down her backbone, but to no purpose. "Men are so clumsy," she snaps. "I will call the cook. She oan do it without any fuss." So the cook is called from the pudding,' and In a trice the trick is done. Every hook falls into place when she touches it, and what is more it stays there, la the meantime the husband has fled; but when bis wife comes down stairs she tells him that there must be something the matter with his eyes thereis noth ing in the world so easy as to hook a waist. So positive is she on this point that he begins to think be must be a chump," and goes to his pipe for com fort. But this is all to be changed with the hookless waist. All a woman has to do is to put her bands behind her, pull a stiing and the thing is done. Do you wonder that I put the inventor of this device above the inventors of smoke less powder and noiseless guns? Contract tor Stables Awarded. ' The contract for the City stables, in the rear of the Firemen's hall has been awarded to D. E. Glisson. The con tract price is $800. Work on the foun dation was started today. Mr. W. H. Godwin is in charge of the repair work on the Odd Fellows build ing, which was damaged by the recent fire. HIS SORE EYES When 63 Years Old Eye-Balls and Lids Became Terribly Inflamed Was Unable to Go A&out Home Remedies and Professional Treat ment were Equally Unsuccessful. TOOK FRIEND'S ADVICE: HAS NO MORE TROUBLE "About two years ago my eyes go in such a condition that I was unable to go about. They were terribly inflamed, both the balls and lids. I tried home remedies without relief. Then I de cided to go to our family physician, but he didn't help them. Then I tried two more of our most prominent physicians, but my eyes grew continually worse. At this time a friend of mine advised me to try Cuticura Ointment, and after using it about one week my yes were considerably improved and in two weeks they were almost well. They have never given me any trouble since. I was then sixty-three years old and am now sixty-five. I shall never fail to speak a word of praise for the Cuticura Remedies when I have an opportunity, and I trust that this letter may be the means of others being cured as I have been. G. B.
