HEBCBUT UILU,
Magistrate Levy, of New York,
is not wholly in accord with Chief
Magistrate McAdoo, or rather he
is more committal. It was some
weeks ago when a man was
brought before him charged wiih
annoying a young woman. In
other words the accused was ar
rested in the belief that he was a
"masher." Now, while Magistrate
Levy has no excuse nor any use
for the "masher," as a type, he
took the position on the occasion
in question to declare that the
present day costume of women
invited the "masher" and the in
sult. "A decent woman," he said, in
discussing the subject of present
day costumes, "never has any
thing to dread when it comes to
annoying attentions from the other
sex. But the clothes worn by
women today lend, in my opinion,
to lessen that delicate sense of the
conventions and the proprieties
that we expect of our women folk,
our wives and our daughters.
"Civilization demands that we
garb ourselves properly. And
we're not doing it. Women today
in their costumes are well, the
majority appear to have one object
in view, namely, to bring out the
physical charms and at the same
lime to combine esthetic effects.
"There are those who succeed,
but hundreds of others do not.
To reveal, to suggest, to indicate
appear to be the things aimed at
in the exaggerated fashion of to
day. That is why the majority of
the 'mashers' are brought before
this tribunal. I have no use for
the 'masher.' He is a weak
minded individual, but well, if
women wore a little more material
and were not so desirous of unen
viable attention, they would not be
subiected to the annoyance of
which they complain."

King's New Life fills, The llrst dose

('hamherlain's Cough Remedy has been

Science is Professing These Days
! to Do Much.
THE UNFULFILLED,
Still let me sing to you, tenderly bring to you,
Daily, let the heart of my life, like a rose;
Follow your feet where afar in the street,
Swift to allure, the light step of you goes,
No human touch of you, only so much of you
As a winged glance, with its poignant delight.
On like a dream I shall follow its gleam
Till it dissolves again into night.
There speak the stars of you ; Venus and Mars of you
Tell me utterly exquisite things
That my hands close, seeking yours, on a rose,
Mad for one touch of you, swifter than wings.
Ah ! you far goal of love, are you the soul of love ?
Unbodied soul, that can never be flesh ?
In my heart's beat, what I heard, for your feet;
Star dust of amber, your tresses' bright mesh ?
Missing the face of you, shall 1 find trace of you
In all that's lovely until my life's close;
Follow you still, you may lead as you will,
Off ring the heart of my life, like a rose.
Yours is the rest of life, yours is the best of life,
Yet 1 walk blindly, nor quite understand,
Knowing I've missed lips that yearned to be kissed,"
Reaching in vain for your shadowy hand !
WHAT'S YOUR HURRY-
Slack up, brother, what's your hurry,
That so recklessly you scurry
With your elbows jabbing sideways and your glance fixed straight i
Is a minute's time so precious
That you needs must be ungracious
And go trampling on your fellows like a hungry quadruped ?
Can't you spare a nod of greeting,
Pass the time of day on meeting,
Swap a joke or laugh a little when a neighbor drifts along?
Is the dollar so enticing,
Is "success" so all-sufficing,
That you can't devote a second to a brother in the throng ?
Do you know your destination ?
It's a quiet little station
Where ambition never troubles and the dollar jingles not,
Where there is no bootless striving,
Sordid scheming or contriving,
And the richest man's possession is a little grassy plot.
Why be overkeen for speeding
On a trail so surely leading
To that lonely little village where we all must come at last?
Slack up, brother, what's your hurry,
That so recklessly you scurry ?
You may head a slow procession ere another year is past.
ihead?
In that beautiful golden some-1
time that age we read about, we l
expect to look down from some
bright, shining star where we will i
have our abode and see people on i
this earth fifteen feet high and
wearing lightly at least a hundred
and fifty years.
Wall-eyed Science is professing
these days to do much and she is
doing some things. The last
proposition is that made by Dr.
W. M. Jacobs, of Philadelphia, to j
the effect that we are on the litres-1
hold of discoveries that will make
it possible to hasten or retard ihe
growth of human beings we can
keep 'em any size we want for a
fixed number ot years, and then
by turning on the protein juice
make 'em go galloping to any
height or weight we think proper.
He insists that it has been tried
"on the dog;" on ruts and other
living victims where ii has been
tested. "We have it in our pow
er," said Dr. Jacobs, "to say
whether an animal shall do its
growing in youth or old age, or
whether it shall have several pe
riods of growth. This being true,
it is not too much to expect that
the ultimate outcome of such work
will be the scientific control of the
forces of organic growth even in
human beings.
Just what good this will do we
are not informed by the enthusias
tic doctor, but if a man is poor and
has a big family he can hold it
down to where children's clothes
will take care of it for many years.
Then the smaller one's body per
haps the less food it will take.
Truly Wall Eyed Science never
sleeps. Wakeful ever watchful
always she has more freaks and
fools telling us just about what is
going to happen ihtu you can
enumerate.
However, between the sirai:;ht
line of equilibrium and ihe bug
house is a million grinning men,
and each of them has smneihing
to olfer for the world's betterment.
When they finally get on to per
petual motion and go about shout

Dangers of Draft.
Drafts feel best when we are hut and

cases apply Sloan's Liniment. It
stimulates circulation to the smc and
painful part. The blood Hows freely
and in a short time the stillness and
pain leaves. Those suffering from Neu
