THE BALL, THE CHAIN AND THE HOBO.

The Mall .Tribune did not say
. inemselves out of all semblance of
the humiliation of a city prisoner
with a ball and chain attached," but
gone to seed, that gloated over a brutal prize fight and Is shocked at pun
irhment of crime, humiliating but not brutal.
t. 'ine Man Trioune is neither defending uor attacking pugilism. It prints
accounts of prize fights the same as
or tno news or the day demanded by its patrons the public, both tho bu-
raanltarians and the ball and chain man. -It recognizes prize flchts for what
', they are survivals of the brutal instincts underlying the veneer of civlliza-
; Uon but it also recognizes the futility of attempting to change human
nature.
The street commissioner, to whom the hobo was intrusted, was sa strick
en vflth remorse after reading Mr. Andrews' article that he substituted
love and tru3t for the ball and chain, much to the prisoner's regret, for
it was a proud moment in Mr. Head-Cracker's existence to be the observed
of all observers. The commissioner looked Into those eyes, which Mr. An
drews said so hungered for human love, and"' trusted htm alone, not for
halt a day, as Mr. Andrews suggested, but for about two minutes, and Mr.
Hobo madly sprinted through tho chaparral toward some distant city, where
skulls may be split with impunity.
So ends another dream of lovo.

What does it matter if 30-called

of a defenseless prisoner?

ONLY ONE "BEST."
Medferd Pestfe Give Credit Where
Credit Is Due.
People of Medford who suffer
with sick kidneys and bad backs
want a kidney remedy that can be
depended upon. The best is Doan's
Kidney Pills, a medicine for the kid
neys only, made from pure roots aud
herbs, and the only one that is back
ed by cures in Medford. Here's Med
ford testimony:
Mrs. C. H. Hoxie, Fir street, Med
ford, Or., says: "I publicly recom
mended Doan's Kidney Pills in 1907
after they had benefited me, and
now I am pleased to speak in thei
favor again. I had kidney troubl
for several years and the backache
gradually grew worse ao time passed.
If I attempted to stoop or moV
quickly, sharp twinges darted
through my loins and hips, and some
times I was lame for days. Tho kid
oey secretions passed far too fro
quentty, and I also noticed sediment
in them when they were allowed to
stand. My health steadily ran down
and I was feeling miserable at the
time I commenced taking Doan
Kidney Pills, which I procured at
ITaskins' drug store. They helped
me from the first, although other
remedies had proven useless, and as
I continued takiug them, I grew bet
ter, until not one symptom of my ol
trouble remained'

Recherche SupW.
Mrs. Brightidea gave the most do
lightful little recherche supper the
other evening after the theater.
Her home always looks charming,
for it is well lighted by electricity,
and the artistic arrangement of color
in ber bouse decorations show off to
fine advantage.
When the friends gathered in the
dinlng-rqom around tho supper table.
Mrs. Brightidea turned a littl
switch and, Wore long, the most de
licious odor of an appetizing repast
began to float through the room as
the steam rose from the chafing
dish.
Some of the friends were fairly
baffled, for they failed to see any
name; there was uo odor, as was
generally very noticeable from an al
cobol lamp, bo matches there was,
in fact, nothing objectionable, so the
chafing-dish supper was a most sue
cessful little affair.
Mrs. Brightidea quite enjoyed
mystirytne; her friends, bough even
tually she had to atisfy their curi
osity and acknowledge that "the
fairy of the feast" was electricity.
A chafing dish heated bv elec
tricity is certainly ideal, and the
swellest thing out to satisfy the pal
ate, charm the eye and comfort the
heart
It is a practical little device that
places the owner above the ordinary
rut or hostesses.
