Cive Immediate Relief w. . . . . . 4 1 - Good Story Every Day by BY FRANK BARKLEY COPELY. (Copyright. 190a, by Joseph B. Bowles.) (A True Story.) In the course of his career, Skinny luis boon a pickpocket, thug, sneak thkf ami burglar. He had also killed his man a detective. Nearly 20 years ct his life had been spent in prison. He was now 33 years old. He was born in a tenement house, down near the Battery in New York city. At the tender age of seven, Skinny was sent to the Catholic protectory in Westchester for tapping the till in a h-'kery. There he met a boy about a year older than himself who was in icr picking pockets. His name was Tommy Tobin. Before they were IS they had been repeatedly imprisoned, and were classed by the police among New York's most dengerous criminals. Skinny was barely 21 when he tripped up a detective who was chasing a pickpocket. The detective blackened his eyes and punched his nose out of joint, and three days later Skinny at tacked him in the street with a knife. At first it was thought the detective would recover, and Skinny, pleading guilty to felonious assault, got off with a sentence to four years in Sing Sing Soon after he "went up" his victim died; but Skinny could net now be prosecuted for murder, and so he es caped the gallows. Alter that the police hounded him ii'.o'e th -n ever. Once six detectives got him in a cell at police headquar ters and pounded him within an inch of his life; then he was sent back'to Sin? Sing on a trumped-up charge of Stand larceny. During that term he spent two weeks in the "cooler," or dark cell, for cursing the keeper, and that is how he developed his lum bago. Whatever may be said about Sing Sin? today, its conditions at that time certainly were not conducive to the de velopment of athletes, neither was it a place where men were likely to be fiiied with the joy of living. Skinny's hmibago steadily grew worse; his sul len stoicism began to yield; and it was in the spring of 1896 that he, with two years more to serve and no prospect beyond that but more hounding by the police, finally gave way to the despair that was gripping his soul and began to hoard his morphine tablets. The orison physician gave him now and then a little morphine to relieve his sufferings. "Re careful how you use the tab lets," the doctor had said one day, "20 will kill - m?.n." "One, two, three, four, five, six, seven, eight" slowly Skinny counted his little flat pills "ten, twelve, four teensixteen." Only four more, and he vonld have ready to hand an easy es cape from his sufferings. On that very day a new era dawned for Sins Sing. Mrs. Maud Ballington Booth came there to begin the work v olunteer Prison League. She bad a theory that if convicts were fixated, not as wild animals, but as human beings, they would respond; that what was needed in the case cf the great majority of confirmed crimi nals was a little sympathy and love. Her ideas amused the prison officials; but, believing she had only to test her theory to be convictel of its imprac ticability, they agreed that the 700 prisoners should be assembled in the fhaperl on Sunday, May 24, 18D6, to hear her talk. The scene was a strange one. In the body of the chapel sat the 700 men in stripes, their faces shaven, their hair closely cropped, most of them debased vicious, vile! while about them hov ered their armed and vigilant keepers. On the platform stood all alone the Winsome little woman with the sweet voice and the gracious presence. She did not preach a sermon. As a woman speaking unto men. she sim l'ly tried to make them take the common-sense view of the stiff eringg en htiupnuherrcOusazmrdldl dl dl dl did Rendered by sin., and the rappiness tr.at comes from right living, and the Momise that if any" many present wished to start anew when he got out or Prison, and would come to her, she would see he got a chance. Then shyly asKed all that were desirous of turn ing over a new leaf to stand up. t was a critical moment. For a cnvict to stand ud meant that he a Writer of Reputation should show what his old associates j would regard as a "yellow streak." For i ptinaps nail a minute there was an awkward silence; and then here and there all over the hall, convicts, many of them shamefacedly struggled to their feet until 25 of the 700 wer standing. The keepers were aston ished; Mrs. Booth's fondest hopes were realized. Skinny was not among the 25, but later in his cell he pondered over Mrs. Booth's writings. She called con victs her boys! She said she had pre pared a home for them to go to when they got out of jail. She repeated over and over again she would help them to find honest work. Summer came and went, with Skinny still nervously fingering his morphine tablets. Constantly he brooded over the remarkable woman that called convicts her friends and boys. Why she spoke of them and addressed them as if there really was something good in them! On his bed of pain he tried to picture what she looked like. One night he cried out: "My God! but she must be all right!" From jout their hiding place he drew the tablets he had 20 now ground them un with the heel of his shoe, and blew the dust out into the corridor. The struggle had lasted five months. It was in the latter part of October that Skinny applied to the chaplain for permission to write and extra let ter. "To whom are you going to write?" he was asked. "Mrs. Booth," he answered. Never a man awaited with more eag erness a reply to a letter. Days passed without its being received, and Skinny began to regret what he had done. Then one memorable day he received this: "34 Union Square, New York City. November 6, 1896 "My Dear Friend: I was very glad to get your letter of the 27th. I should have answered it sooner, only I am sure you will understand hew busy I have been since I have come home. "I am very glad that you have writ ten me so freely. I thoroughly believe all that you say, and I want to assure you that I, for one, think that there is hope for you, and I will gladly do all I can to help and encourage you. I think there is every reason why you should be cherred to go on and do better while you are even in prison as well as when you come out of it. "I am determined that those who are trying to lead straight, honest lives shall have a chance, never mind how many terms there are back of them. "I am particularly interested in those who never had a chance; so you can remember now that you have at least one friend who will stand by you end help you while you prove yourself thoroughly sincere and earnest. "I will gladly send you the Volun teers' Gazette, and I hope that its pages may be a cheer and inspiration to you. "Now I pray that the dear Lord may fill your heart with hope, and enable you to begin to lead a new life right there in Sing Sing. "Believe me vour friend to help you, "MAUD B. BOOTH." Skinny read the letter in a kind of stupor. One sentence, however, vhad burned itself into his brain. It had beon underscored. "I thoroughly be lieve all that you say." There was a good woman in the world that believes in him! To make sure he was not mis taken he again read the letter. Still he was not convinced, and for the third time he read it. Slowly its purport dawned on his consciousness. He had a friend in a priori woman that was going to stand by and help him! Sitting on his cot inJ - . ..... 11 i o-rlm nidi liia ittip r.f.ll Lliei e iu mo Mi"-" prison this convist, this thief,, this thug, bowed low his closely-cropped head, while, -tears rained down his hardened features and watered the prison stripes. - Since November, 1899, Skinny has been in the employ of a leading manu facturer of New York City who is in terested in Mrs. Booth's prison work. Two" months after he received his first letter from Mrs. Booth, she went to Sing Sing,' and he had an affecting in terview with her. the result of which was that Mrs. Booth won a slave that would gladly lay down his life for her." She made him consent to so to the prison hospital, and5 when the prison gates closed behind him for good and all on February 4, 1899, she had sent hi mto the Presbyterian hos pital in New York, there to be cured of his lumbago by a specialist. When he started out on his -new life Skinny had to prove his mettle. Until he regained his strength he -collected donations with a horse and wagon for Hope Hall, where Mrs. Booth's "boys" live while they recover from the effects of their imprisonment. Beginning work for the manufacturer, he had a hard time. Sometimes he made only $3.50 a week, and never more than five dollars. When greatly disheartened, Skinny used to go to see Mrs. Booth. After she had talked to him awhile, it was her custom to ask: "Do you wish me to lend you any money, William?" And Skinny would clinch his teeth, say "No," and go back to work. Once when lie was feeling very blue, his employer called him into the office aid said: "Billy, I wish you to take these silver vases and have them cleaned." The glow that came from that errand of trust carried Skinny over several dark weeks. And then he received the job of running the elevator at a regular sal ary of $10 a week, with the privilege of lodging in a room in the factory. Skinny was rich now. In a little more than a year he had $300 in the savings bank. And what do you think he did with it? Every cent he turned over to n fripnrl w!in had 'a. larsre fa mil v and wras out of work. He missed the mon ey, too, for there was a girl in the factory about whom he was entertain ing serious thoughts. ' The romance was brought to a crisis when Skinny got his foot crushed in the elevator. The foot had to be turned all night, and the girl insisted upon nrtino- as nnrsfi. That, made Skinnv tell Mrs. Booth he wished to marry. She approved, on the condition tnat the girl be informed about his past life. Skinny accordingly gave nis sweetheart this information and the view she took of the matter was that his many years of imprisonment made his present honest life all the more admirable. They were married in No vember, 1901, Mrs. Booth, who is an o-dained clergyman, performing the ceremony. Skinny's employer sent shrdlueoe Sldnny's employer lent him money to furnish a fiat, and his employer's wife and Mrs. Booth saw that the bride needed nothing essential. Al though their means were limited, Mr. and Mrs. Skinny prospered from the start. Each week something was set aside to discharge their debt, and when Skinny, a year later, was promoted to the post of night watchman at a salary of $14 a week, they were soon free and clear. At the present day, Skinny continues to mount guard every night over prop erty worth thousands of dollars. His home on First avenue is as scrupulous ly clean a place as you could hope to find. And there you will now sec two little baby girls. When they become 16 years old they are going to join the Volunteers. Recently Skinny was asked if he had felt any temptation to steal since he came out of prison in 1S98. "Well,", he replied, "you know they say that once a crook always a crook." "But how is it with you," it was in sisted. . T.t,tit lnnl.- 1-inro " cnirl S ClllTlV. WUV i should I want to steal?

The report of the American Tele phone and Telegraph Company for the year 1905 shows to what extent the average American citizen reaches out for conveniences. We are indebt ted to the Charlotte News for this synopsis of the report: "According to the report there were in operation 2,528,715 Bell telephone stations at the close of the year, an in crease cf more than half million in a year, or 25 ner cent. During the year over 1,225,000 miles of wire were added for use in exchange and toll service, making 6,943,517 in all. The report also shows that dur ing the year the Bell company spent for new construction in toll lines and exchanges $46,603,516 and for land and buildings, $4,177,390, making a grand total of -over $50,000,000 as against $31,619,100 for the year previous. , During the past year the Bell com pany handled a total daily average of 13,911,000 connections, making an av erage of 54 telephone calls for every man, woman and child in the United States.'' ' - This is a fast age and few men are content to be behind their neighbors. The convenience of the telephone in stantly commends it and : the further fact that any point ; connected with the long distance lines can "communi cate with every city of importance without annoying delay has brought the telephone, into the popularity that it deserves. It will never supercede telegraphy for obvious reasons but it willcontinue to grow in popularity. In this connection occurs the thought that as business multiplies rates will be reduced, if our hypothe sis of the basis on which gain and loss are ordinarily considered correct.

Syrup of Figs has come into general favor in many millions of well informed families, whose estimate of its quality and excellence is based upon personal knovledge and use. Syrup of Figs has also met with the approval of physicians generally, because they know it is wholesome, simple and gentle in its action. We inform all reputa ble physicians as to the medicinal principles..-of Syrup of Figs, obtained, by an original method, from certain plants knovn to them to act most beneficially and presented in an agreeable syrup in which the wholesome Californian blue figs are used to promote the pleasant taste ; therefore it is not a secret remedy and hence we are free to refer to all well informed physicians, who 'do not approve of patent medicines and never favor indiscriminate self-medication. Please to remember and teach your children also that the genuine Syrup of Figs always has the full name of the Company California Fig Syrup Co. plainly printed on the front cf every package and that it is for sale in bottles of one size only. If any dealer offers any other than the regular Fifty cent size, or having printed thereon the name of any other company, do not accept it. If you fail to get :he genuine you will not get its beneficial effects. Every family should always have a bottle on hand, as it is equally beneficial for the parents and the children. whenever a laxative remedy is required. Taks a Day Off and Come. Mayor McNinch, of Charlotte, last week visited Washington and called on President Roosevelt and asked for an exhibition of the Marine Band, to gether with a corpse cf Marine sol diers, cavalry and infantry troops to assist in the great 20th of May cele bration. The request was granted. They have been ordered to report in Mecklenburg for the celebration. In fact, the way Charlotte is spreading it on for this occasion, it is calculated to eclipse anything that, has taken place in the Queen City in many years. The merchants, business men, and the ladies are. all working to make it a howling success and in the event there is slack time in this shop, the greater part of the force will join in swelling the crowd.- Mooresville En terprise. WORK WEAKENS THE KIDNEYS. Doan's Kidney Pills Have Done Great Service for the People Who Work in Chalotte. - Most Charlotte people work every day in some strained, unatural posi tion bending constantly over a desk riding on jolting wagons or cars doing laborious housework; lifting, reaching or pulling, or trying the back in a hundred and one other ways. All these strains tend to wear, weaken and injure the kidneys until they fall behind in their work of filtering .the poisons from the blood. Doan's Kid ney Pills cure sick kidneys, put new strength in bad backs. Charlotte tes timony proves it. Thomas G. Northey, painter, of 813 N. Church street, says: Backache bothered me for many years and I have often had to lay off from work because of a weakness which kidney disorders brought upon me. I happen ed to hear of Doan's Kidney Pills and got a box from R. H. Jordan & Co's. drug store. 1 had begun tobelieve that there was no relief in store for me but since taking the pills I have not lost a single moment from work, my back has been free from pain and has been stronger in every way.
