Ide by side, their circumferences
touching, so that the distance from
the lower edge of the central coin, so
removed, shall liecUul to the distance

other coins. You will probably do as
every one else does, put the coins side

you have done a rash thing by push
ing it so far. When you have men

The advantages ot a pocket that has
no sewed seams and canuot rip and
that is neat and smooth in the gar
ment arc such as will be appreciated
by every masculine reader. Such a
pocket is the Invention of an ingenious
Yankee, who calls his devise a safety
seamless pocket. The peculiarity of
these (sockets is that they arc woven
complete in one piece. No stitching
or sewing is necessary to make them
rrndy for use, but they arc turned oul
by the loom in the exact form in which
they arc required for trousers.

Wc sec from the St. Louis Republic
that the fast mail train running from
St. Louis to Kansas City missed con
nection seven times in twenty-five
trips. There must be some mistake
alHiut this. It can't be possible that
Jay Gould would put up with such
recklessness on one of his roads. Our
people have been told that Gould
never missed connection, aud there is
a faction iu this town right now try ing
to fix up a little job to prevent Mr.
Gould from missing connection in his
efforts to gobble up our entire river
front, lint iu this they, too will miss
connection.

Ab, ha! the advocates of the new
charter are seeking an argument in
favor of their pet scheme by applying
to officials of other cities now tinder
this law, whose citizens are now groan
ing under the excessive taxation im
posed ou them by the very officials the
clique here propose to give as evl
dence. Let us see. Section 1494 Df
the statute, cities of the third class is
as follows:
"1'oirer of the Council: The Mayor
aud Council of each city governed by
this article shall have the care, man
agement and control of the city antl
its liuances. and shall have power to
enact aud ordain any and all ordin
ances not repugnant to the constitu
tion and laws of this State, and such
as they shall deem expedient for the
good government of the city, the
preservation of peace and good order,
the benefit of trade and commerce,
and the health of the inhabitants
thereof: aud such ordinances, rules
and regulations as may be necessary
to cam-them into effect, and lo modify
ulid repeal the same."
Here we have all power for legisla
tive action not repnguant to constitu
tion and Inws of the Slate. Then citi
zens of Cape (iirardcau if an appeal is
made to officials of other cities under
thh Wholesale charter, you will read

and most complete idea to these broad-

Whenever officials can have the

the contrary, says the New Y'ork

does not please any one, because ot
pure selfishness. It may be noticed
that soldiers get a hard, severe look:
laborers look tired: reporters look
inquisitive; mathematicians look stud
ious: judges look grave, and a man
whose homo life is unhappy looks all
broken up. The business often makes
the face. How often wc think thi
