Osborr.e , the village watchmaker , cmno Into the court of Judge Thomas F. Walsh the other day to face William A. Barnes , he woio ti bit of black bound about his hat , em blem of mourning for the death of a sweetheart who had never lived. Ilo had loved her and worshiped her , as Is only possible to a shy and wistful bachelor to whom dreams arc more than realities. Ho was there to testify against his neighbor , UnrnoH , for Dwindling him out of bin Havings for fourteen yearn by playing on his Imagination with a mythical "MrrMorlo Daw , " but it was not that ho cared for the money that was gone. Ho would gladly have forgiven Harnes the finan cial fraud If ho could have given him back the dead sweetheart who had never lived. Barnes nnd Oflborno had been cro nies all their lives. Osborno wanted a sweetheart but ho was far too timid to win one unless some ono helped him. Harnes told him about Gladys Wlllson. He had known her in Phila delphia. She was beautiful. Uarncs said ho had told her of Osborno and she was Interested. He thought she would not bo offended If Osborno wrote to her. And Osborno wrote a halting little letter and names prom- Attention' Given W NEW YORK. "LndJoH1 accounts re spectfully solicited. " This polite Imitation hangs up In numerous bank windows and Is printed In alluring cir culars setting forth the" reliability , convenience and attractiveness of the banks that cater to women , au nhuoHt nil bunks do nowadays with the excep tion of these lu the distinctly JJnnnclul quarter. Yet It Is within qulto recent days that the anecdote regarding the woman , presumably typical , who drew a check , against "no account" in any bank she fancied was passed merrily around. .In reality , she Is as much out of date as Dickons1 Dorn , who wept over her household accounts because the figures would not add themselves up right. In 1809 , when Joseph S. Case , at that tlmo a teller In the Second Na tional bank , persuaded the directors to fit up a room for the accommoda tion of women and give them a sep arate window for the transaction of tlielr business , there were so few wom en carrying separata accounts that of Eggs n-O-OOH > W\T o _ _ _ SHELL. 9-1-1 . A short report In the local OMAHA. market nqws servos to recall the agitation of six mouthy or more ago against high prices and the more or less frenzied talk about drastic legis lation for reducing the cost of living , The item states that in Omaha there are today about 4,000,000 dozens of eggs In cold storage In the various packing houses and the cold storage vaults that Is 48,000,000 eggs , or half an egg for every man , woman and child in the United States ; and these figures are for Omaha alone ; other cold storage centers , such an Chicago , Now York , Philadelphia and other largo cities are not reporting the size of their stocks. During the winter , when eggs Ised to place it In Gladys" hand. An answer came and Hint day was the happiest that Osborne had evei known. There wore other letteis and Gladys began lo tell him about hoi affairs. An estate had been left hot and there were certain details of rid ding it of legal IncumbrunccB and tan glcs and need for money , and Osborna sent her all his HIVII ; | B , through' Harups , and counted every sacrifice for her a delight. The village watch tinker piopared for her coming as his brido. Through the years she hud set dates and even named trains. But always there was something to prevent her coming Ho had become so Insistent for a sight of the ono lie adored that even the icHourceful Humes had run out of excuses. There was only one way out of It. Ho would liavu to kill Gladys. He hated to do It because she had been very profitable to him , but there did not Heem to bo any other way out of It. So he went down to Philadelphia and wiotc a letter to Osborne , telling him that Gladys was dead. He was staggered by the blow. She had never been born In flesh and blood , but she had llvdd In his mind and heart Somebody asked him about the bit of black bound around his hat and ho told a little about Gladys Wlllson , loved and lost , and showed the letter that UarncH bad sent telling him that she was dead. Somebody was suspi cious and told the sheriff about It and It did not take him long to learn that Gladys was not dead because she had never lived. Humes was arrested and is now under ball awaiting trial. omen Bank Patrons oilier ofllcers of the bank were far from enthusiastic over the Innovation. There were only live depositors when the bnuk opened thlB department The substantial growth In the de posits made by women and the talk of the matter attracted the attention of other banks , not only in New York , but in other cities , which sent repre sentatives to look into thu matter and the Second National's plan , widely copied everywhere , met with success. It was only a few years after the Second National bank established Its women's dapnrtniont that the Fifth Avenue bank did the same thing. It has today probably the largest num ber of women depositors of any bank In New York between four and llvo thousand. At the tlmo of the panic , three years ago , the number of women de positors in the banks was emphasized. Many stood In line as doggedly as the men nnd others hired substitutes to Itecp their places. On the whole they behaved neither better nor worse than men under stress of panic. They were just human beings who did not want to loao their money. In n city bank one will notice that the women who put In ami draw out money are of all classes. Women of j great wealth are conspicuous but not predominant. Placed in Storage aTe scaice , and prices proportionately atoly high , these 48,000,000 eggs with some few million do-tens more will bp dumped Into the markets of the country under a system ol distribution that will be sure to avoid gluts anywhere and a corresponding slump lnpriees _ ; not ono of them , It Is said , Is less than six months old now and when they come out of storage and arc exposed for balu they will have an ago of all the way from eight to ten months ; their distribution , along with other eggs now lu cold storage , will , of course , operate to pi event "egg famines" hero and there that IB. a short supply and Inor dlnatoly high prices but.tho question of their effect oirthe public health Is of much more importance than the consideration. How long can a ten month-old egg remain fit to cat after It Is taken from storage nnd comeu Into a normal tem perature ? Does anybody know ? Those miestloiiH are vital ones , because It is on this point that cold 'storage legisla tion i going to hinge. Chicago Is Not Such a Wicked City IDONT THINK THAT IS A BAD RECORD 1,000 TEMPLES Of DIVINE WORSHIP CHICAGO. Chicago Is proving to the world that she Is not ns black as she has been painted ! Long has she been hold up as the wickedest city In the nation , n placa for the righteous to avoid If this line of conduct was to bo persevered In. On the surface she was so bad that good people outside thought that whoever entered her gates left hope behind bo far as the virtues and the practise of religion were Involved. All mis tlmo the heart 'of Chicago was sound oveii If vlco nourished openly In parts of the city. If the queen city of the west were ns inky as she has been pictured she would never have reared 1,000 temples for divine worship and maintained them. Men and women do not do tills unless Imbued with pioly and the necessity for public worship. The Chlcagouns nro manifesting this lellglous spirit just now In the eagerness of the chuicli-golng to promote mete this practise among these who pay llttln or no heed lo It. The for mer are going about seeking out tha latter and finding why church attend unco IK neglected. How thorough Is thin movement Is borne out by the fact that 13,000 men and women nro engaged lu It and that they have reached 2.000,000 persons. They find that 900.000 regularly attended church and that 60,000 wore iriogular attend ants , making a total of 1,1150,000 that were more or less , under the Influence of Christian preaching. The cciiKiis proves that Chicago is * more religious than any olher of the metropolitan cities of the country and that few of the smaller cllios relative ly can match her In attendance upon and devotion to the church.

The beginning was a slight Itching but it grow steadily worse until , when I combed my hair , the scalp became raw and the ends of the comb-teeth would bo wet with blood. Most of the time there was nn Intolerable itching , in a painful , burning way , very much as a bad , raw burn , if deep , will Itch nnd smart when first beginning to .heal. Combing my hair was positive torture. My hair was long and tan gled terribly because of the blood and Bcabs. This continued growing worse and over half my hair fell out. I was In despair , really afraid of becoming totally bald. "Sometimes the pain was BO great that , when partially awake , I would scratch the worst places so that my I Ilnger-tips would bo bloody. I could , not sleep well and , after being asleep a short time , that awful stinging pain , would commence and then I would wako up nearly wild with the torture. ! , A neighbor said It must be salt rheum. llavlng used Cutlcura Soap merely as ( n toilet soap bcfora , I now decided to ' order a &et of the Cutictira Remedies Cutlcura Soap , Ointment , and Pills. I used them according to directions for perhaps six weeks , then left off , as the disease seemed to be eradl- I cated , but toward spring , eighteen months ago , there was a slight return - , turn of the scalp humor. I com menced the Cutlcura treatment at [ once , so "had very little trouble. On . my scalp I used about one half a cake , of Cutlcura Soap and half n box of Cutlcura Ointment in all. The first I time I took six or seven bottles of Cu tlcura Pills and the last tlmo three bottles neither nn expensive or to- | dlous treatment. Slnco then I have had no scalp trouble of any kind. Standing up , with my hair unbound.lt comes to my knees and had it not been for Cuticura I should doubtless bo wholly bald.
