The Under World Is hospllablo to n new comer It tho newcomer Is prepared to take tho place that tho Under World thinks Ills Mm. There nro very dcllnlto social dis tinctions In outcast life, nnd a man is ex pected to respect them. Tho "gay cat" in Hobolnnd tho man who will work nt a pinch must knucklo down to tho man who won't work. Inability sincerely to struggle for an exlstenco In a rcspoetnblo nnd respected way Is tho badge of aris tocracy In Trampdom. Willingness to leave money nlone that can bo successfully stolen Is tho sign of tho "tenderfoot" In tho professional criminal environment. Tho "newly arrived" In tho tramp's, as well ns tho crook'H world, aro "sized up" and socially placed according to their tin Jorntandliig of theso two theories ot life. Tho mun who Is prepared to soil his hands telth toll while ho Is tramping Is respected by tho "pcrfesh." It ho Is recognized as u genulno worklngman looking for n Job. Thn in. who Is nrucarcd to soli his hands with toll merely becauso he does not under stand how to keep his hands clean is noi thcr respected nor wantod on tho "road." It Is a common belief that ho does more to joopardlzo tho Interest of tho fraternity than any other tr.ivolcr of tho "turf." Tho man who can senm and act like a "blowcd tn Urn claim stiff" tho real thing Is wel come among both crooks nnd hoboes. Ho gets his particular placo In tho social ar rangement, according to ins reputation as n nWlllnl "nnerntlvc.U but his position In gonoral as an ncceplcd aud qualified mem It mi nf r,nl,-nnl itneletV IS 600(1 US long BS ho remains truo to outcast principles, thco rlcs and customs.

In Hobo land I nm plain "Cigarette, tho tramp," nothing moro and nothing less. As n class tho tramps in this country' nnd It must bo romnmbnred that n lnrgo number of thtso men used to bo criminals In tho strict Bjneo of tho word havo treated mo as far nit It lav In their power, ns n pal and I liavo very fow criticisms to mako of their "hnng-out" hospitality or general gooa iei lowshlp. tAtnonK tlio Crook). The nrofesslnnal thief, although naturally a much moro reserved nnd uncommunicative ntTRiin than tho trnmn. has accoruoa tno nractlcally tho snmo friendliness that I havo found In Hobolnnd. Ho has often been put to It to mako up his mind as to my standing nnd position In "his class and thero aro a number of his fellow craftsmen who aro still wondering what my particular graft" is, but wo can got nloug togethor socially with very fow mean worus ex changed and, up to dato, without any blows bolng landed successfully. I havo trlod to exnress niv ordnlon nuglllstlcillly to two thieves of my acquaintance and they on deavored to express theirs with similar force, but on neither occasion was I able to do any moro than feebly Indicate my meaning, and tho satno Is true of tho two men. If wo should meet again tho chances urn even thnt wo could tnlk nnd discuss without recourse to violence. Thero Is ono professlonnl thief that I know who has publicly declared that my "light" Is to go out the next tlmo wo meet In a place whero he can get nt mo in tno way that ho wants to, but ho Is tho only man In tho Under World, so far ns I know, who holds nny such grudgo ngalnst me. Ho got angry with mo becauso I once turned policeman In order to see how tho Under World looks from that oftlclal's point of vlow, nnd helped to land him (tho thief) in tho penitentiary during tho process. 1 was out In Ohio nt tho tlmo, following up clrcuHCH thnt wero being trnnsportcd over n. certain rnllway company's lines. I car rled with roe n Ilttlo black book of photo graphs of notorious pickpockets nnd gen crnl thieves of tho mlddlo west. It wan my duty to commit to memory ns many ot tho faces In the book ns I could, nnd to look out for tho originals on my routo ot travel. Ono day I arrived In a town whero "Iluffalo Dill's Show" was bolng exhibited, nnd n pickpocket had been capturod and was locked up In tho local "calaboose," so I went to tho lockup to net n view of hlra ITnfnrtunatelv for him it so halincncd that it was his "mug" in mV book that I "had given consldorablo attention to n fow days before, nnd I recognized him tho Instant that tho officers brought him out for our inspection. Tho discovery of his Identity pleased mo so much that nothing would do but I must run to everybody in tno room nnd show them tho ronn's picture. The thief wntchod my movements very closely. nnd after io had been unmistakably Identl fled and' wns nbout to bo led back to his cell ho turned on me tho most vindictive looking eyes I havo ever seen nnd gavo me the worst "roasting" It has been my privi lege to rocolvc. To tho best of my knowl edge I nm not nffllctcd with consumption, but thieves nay very Ilttlo nttontlon to tacts' when roasting un enemy. "You mean Ilttlo cousumptlvo duffer, you." said tho nlcknockct. "you're a nice ono to go around knockln' ngnlnst guns You've only been dead about two weeks yourself. Wnlt till I get out of this, an I'll put your light out forever; tnko my tip on that." Ho Is now dolnn Ave years in a big penitentiary. If wo should meet again on n dark night in n secluded spot my "light" would doubtless becomo very dim. MUtnken Iilentltj-. Tho men who know nothing about my short career In the pollco business gener nlly take mo for a pickpocket or on "out sider" when wo meet In tho thief's world. An "outsider" Is one who "pipes off" a placo to bo robbod beforo tho men who nro to do tho work appear; ho nlso continues tho "piping off" watching out for danger while tho men nro at work He is called an outsider becauso his duties Veep him mainly In the open. 1 am mod erately good In keeping my eyes open and seeing things, nnd when certain men havo convinced themselves of this fact they havo put mu down for ono who "rubbers' und gets tho "lay ot tho land" beforo tho "mob" goes to work. I havo also received congratulations us n good "shovor of the queer" (counterfeit), but they wero given to the wrong man nnd were eventually withdrawn. A fow nights ago a certain party lu tho tenderloin district In New York City picked mo out as n profitable companion for n crusado ngnlnst the val uables of men who go to sleep lu Ilalnes law botels and waa sure that between us wo ought to muko both fortuuo nnd tnme, but wo failed to ngreo about the details nnd tho certain party carried his search for a sultublo "side partner" further, 1 Anotner set or meu tliliiK I look more like a "dip" pickpocket and treat me ns such on tho road. Only tho other day, In London, two men nsked me In Piccadilly Iter they had "flagged" mo with the thief's cough, whether I was after the same purso of "overclaim that the' wanted. They bad Been mo nod two companions "split up" In what was to them a suspicious manner and dangerously near an old gentleman whom they wcro trying to "nick," aud one ot them said to mu In undisguised Yankee tones, referring to the old gentleman: 'Ile a n mark nil right, but there ain't dough enough for nil of us.

Crudo netroloura. he suis, mixed with common earth (gumbo nnd suml alono ex cluded), with tho uddltlon ot two other In gredients, tho naturo of which constitute his secret, will make a fuel that will burn better nnd with a cleaner tiro than plno knots. Snvcnt.v-!lo per cent ot this decoc tion Is mother earth. Tho expenso of tho other three Ingredients Is but a trifle. His luel costs Pr ton. It Is a grand orguu tuno that Mr. Holt man, now a struggling hatter, has com posed for tho edltlcatlon of tho commercial world. Thero Is something subitum In tho coutimplutlon ot Us possibilities.

Old King Coal is n back number nnd ha3 got soot In his eye. Mr. Hoffman says ho has worked seven years to period ins invention, i no cx cesslvo prtco of fuel of nil kinds aud tho remarkablo cheapness of crudo petroleum first called my attention to tho matter," said he. "Then I began experimenting. Tho first Hilng I did was to mix tho oil nnd earth together and try to burn them In the form of mud, but that wouldn't work. Tho oil simply burned out and left tho earth practically unchanged. Then I extended my investigations aud flnnlly, after years of close application, hit upon tho secret. I nm confident now that I havo tho problem solved and that I've got a good thing." Mr. Hoffman produced two samples of his now fuel. In appearance they resembled, tho hard rubber balls used by children as playthings. "Tills one," said ho. "Is 92 per cent crudo petroleum, solidified by a chemical process, uud It costs about $3.15 por ton to produco It.

Tho molds nro nbout all tho machinery needed and oven theso nro not Indispensable, as tho stuff burns nbout as well when not molded. Tho Idea ot tho molding Is to hold tho lire. "I got tho dirt tor this samplo from that clay bank across tho street thoro. You will observe that thero Is absolutely no vcgotablo matter whatever In It. Still It burns down to a clean, whito nsh, making no smoke, to spenk ot and leaving no cinders or clinkers. To my way of thinking it is an Ideal fuel. I havo applied for a patent In tho United States and am preparing to apply for one in Mexico, "This fuel will bo a great boon to poor people nnd will be especially appreciated In sections destitute ot natural fuel, such as Nebraska, Kansas, tho Dakotas nnd Texas. It wilt be cheaper than picking tip buffalo chips. "I know of oil wells down In Texas for tho yield of which no market can bo found.

Tho subject ot a suitable diet for brain workers luiB been and Is being at tho pros cnt dato very widely discussed nnd tho opinions expressed by different authorl ties vary greatly, but ono conclusion ar rived ut seems to bo generally nccepted, that a simple, easily digested, nourishing diet is tho best for workers who lead, as a rule, rather inactlvo lives, physically. It cannot accurately bo stated that any ono kind of food Is best adapted to nour ish tho brain. It has been found that the brain contains phosphorus salts, among other constituents, but It cannot bo shown that any food substanco goes directly to nourish any ono part of tho body. Somo pooplo seem to havo nn Idea that tho food taken is absorbed unchanged and that musclo immediately forms muscle, fat forms fat, etc If this wore literally true by following out this form of reasoning wo could come to n very ready conclusion that a diet of calf's brains produces n notice ablo result in somo cases. Of course such a deduction Is absurd to tiny thinking per son, lis all tho food Is broken up from Its very first introduction Into tho body, a... "S or l3laB Its disintegration beginnlug even beforo It enters tho mouth and by tho various processes ot digestion aud changes wrought by tho various dlgcstlvo fluids it Is finally utilized In dlfforeut ways as the body needs It; perhaps to build up wasted tissue or perhaps tho energy Inert In tho food Is all that will bo used. It la Impossible, there fore, to demonstrate any class ot nutrients as "brain foods," ns their mission mny bo varied according to tho economic demands of nature. Wo can, however, study very closely Into causo and effect and apply such food substances in Individual cases that seem from marked results to best sustain tho body In good working condi tion and keep tho brain well balanced nnd equal to a reasonable amount ot labor im posed upon it. It Is often Impossible for the brain worker to obtain, without seriously Inconven iencing himself, tho requisite amount ot cxcrclso and tho Inevitable result In somo serious disturbance in tho bodily func tions which lead to still greater complica tions. Theso tendencies may bo to n cer tain extent prevented or counteracted by proper diet. Tho liberal uso of fruits, cereals, fresh, green vegetables or greens and use ot tho vcgotablo oils are nil help ful and generally effective. Wo havo frequently dwelt upon tho Im portance of cultivating a habit ot water drinking, ns this fluid plnys a very Im portant und necessl.ry part lu tho human economy. Stimulants should bo avoided by nil per sons subject to nervous strain. Tho club woman who allows herself to depend upon a tiny glass of wine, a cup ot ten or strong colfco to sustain her through some trying ordeal, such as reading n paper or making a public address beforo her society. Is surely making trouble for herself In tho not very distant futuro. Sho can preserve her "ncrvo" much hotter If sho does not attempt to braco herself In this way. Tho demands of public llfo upon tho strongest woman's constitution aro sufficiently ex acting without wearing out her ncrvo tissue in this way. If sho takes a light lunch one-half hour beforo appearing at her club the food will do her moro good than any kind of stimulant. Sho may partako ot un egg and a bit of toast, a hot beet sand wich, a bowl of clam broth or cupful ot clam bouillon or a glass of hot milk, or cupful ot cocoa. Oysters and sweetbreads nro allowable on this bill of faro, It no substantial meal has been Indulged In for somo hours orovious. To be a successful leader In Boclnl or club llfo u woman must keep cool-headed and avoid hurrying. Sho must bo culm and self-poised, under tho circumstances, and this condition canot bo obtained or sustained by stimulating foods or drinks. Creamed sweetbreads Is a slmplo but dainty way to prepare swectbreuds for In valids, or u plain, light luncheon dish. As soon ns sweetbreads aro brought from tho market they should bo placed In cold water and allowed to stnnd for nt least an hour. Then drain, and free trom fat and tho pipes, cover tho boil ing water; add a ilttlo lemon Julco or vinegar nnd n tenspoontul of salt. Do not nllow. tho wntcr to boll, but simmer gently until the sweetbreads nro dono, nbout halt nn hour. Tako them from tho fire, drain and throw them into cold wntcr until thor oughly chilled. Then rcmovo the line mcmbrnno and separate Into small pieces.

I feel It my duty to say a kind word in recommending your wonderful Wine of Cardui to my friends who may be suffering from femalo diseases. I have been suffering for over twelve months with painful menstruation. I had a miscarriage and after I got so I could go about I took flooding spells every three or four weeks. They would last from eight to twelve days. I would get so weak that I was not able to do my work, and I suffered so much with my back and bearing-down pains. I saw your wonderful-Wine of Cardui advertised and I asked my husband to get some of it for me for I thought it would do me good, but he did not believe in patent medicines and would continue going to the doctor's, though I could not see that the doctor was doing me any good. Finally he got me one bottle of Wine of Cardui and I had taken but a few doses when I felt relieved, and when I had taken the full bottle I felt like a new woman and my husband says I look so much better that he is going to get me another bottle, and if it does tno as much good as the other one I have taken I think it will entirely cure me. Mrs. E. D. BECK. WINEC The greater portion of the world's woe is borne by women whose menstruation is deranged and painful. These dragging pains and smarting inflammations are enough to drive anyone to distraction. And painful menses are generally followed by the agony of falling of the womb, familiarly known as the "bearing down pains" about which Mrs. Beck writes. We want to say this to suffering women : Wine of Cardui will bring you permanent relief. Physical freedom is worth as much to you as it is to Mrs. Beck. You may be cured as well as she. You may be relieved of all the dragging, cutting, burning pains of falling of the womb, Ieucorrhoea and menstrual irregularity the awful cramps and aches the nerv ous distress. A million women besides Mrs. Beck have been cured by Wine of Cardui and they will all tell you this. If you suffer another day you do so against the advice of prominent physicians who know what Wine of Cardui will do; against the experience of this grateful woman and because you will not follow the safe example set down by a through taking this wonderful medicine. Why not get a bottle of Wine of Cardui at your drug store today?
