By MABEL HURBERT URNER. WARREN IS INDIFFERENT TO THE BAD SERVICE UNTIL IT AFFECTS HIS COMFORT. The radiator thumped sullenly In the corner, but gave out no heat whatever. Helen felt the pipeB, but they were only luke-warm. She stopped ever to again make sure that it was fully turned on. The escaping Bteam hissed at her as she strained at the valve. Outside it was raw and cold surely they ought to keep the steam up a day like this. It would not have mattered about the other rooms, but Winifred took cold ho easily. The nursery must be kept warm. Helen waited an hour an again felt the pipes. They seemed even colder than before. She went to the telephone. "I've called down twice this morning about the heat. There's none coming up yet. Will you Bee to it at

once? Another hour's wait in which she felt the radiator at intervals. But It was still only luke-warm. The thumping had now settled down to a low, steady rumble, varied by an occasional sound of gurgling water but no Ifceat. Winifred was playing on a rug on ithe floor. In spite o f her woolen tacque her tiny hands were cold. Again Helen called down to the 5nitor. ThiB time he was more gruff. "Everybody's kickin for heat. I've got the furnace going full blast, and af it don't gEt up to the room it aint toy fault. I can't do more than I can." Helen thought of the courtesy and efficiency of the janitor of their old tepartment. The whole house here frwas run on a cheaper plan. The elector, the telephone and janitor eerfvice were not nearly so good. ( WARREN OBJECTS. When Warren came home that eveping Helen was in the nursery trying (to warm it with a small oil stove tthey kept for the baby in case of an emergency. Hello! What's up now? By Jove, jrou DO succeed in scenting up the .place, don't you? "Last night it was moth balls, and ,onight it's that oil stove strong "enough to knock you down." "But it was so chilly here, dear. 0 have phoned down three times about the heat and just feel that radiator? And Winifred has had a -cold ever since we moved." "Well, they can't keep the whole house sizzling hot this weather." "Sizzling hot? Why Warren and the radiator is hardly warm. Won't you 'phone down about it? I think they would pay more attention to you." Warren went to the telephone and called for the janitor. "Send some heat up here the radiator is stone cold." "What did lie say?" asked Helen. "Said he would, of course. What did you expect him to say?" "Well, he was very gruff when I 'phoned. I am afraid, dear, we will

never set the service here that we had before. Can't you see that nothing is so well kept?" "Look here, you made up your mind that you wouldn't like the place before you came and you are going to raise a howl about everything, no matter what it is," slamming the door after him, as he went into his own room to freshen up for dinner. The radiator still remained cold, but Helen wisely said nothing more about it. The oil stove had taken the chill off the nursery, and she felt it would only irritate Warren to make further complaint. MORE COMPLAINTS. it was just after dinner that Delia came in with an indignant "What'll 1 do about the garbage, ma'am? The can is so full now, it won't hold no more, and they aint called for it yet. "Why doesn't the janitor ring for it every afternoon?" asked Helen. "He is supposed to, but he aint done it yet." "Then call for him down the dumb waiter." In a few minutes Delia returned. "I can't get no answer." "Let it go until morning can't you? I suppose the man is busy with everyIbody kicking for heat." "But dear, we don't want the garbage sitting in the kitchen all night." . "Then put it on the dumb waiter :and send it down. What's the use of making a fuss about nothing?" "Very well. Delia, you can do that," said Helen. But she wondered what Warren's attitude would be when the ,lack of service really interferred with him with his own personal comfort. She was soon to find out. The next morning a few moments after Warren went into the bath room he opened the door and called out? "What's the matter with the water MOTHER! THE CHILD IS COSTIVE, BILIOUS If Tongue is Coated, Breath Bad, Stomach Sour, Don't Hesitate! Give "California Syrup of Figs" at once a teaspoonful today often saves a sick child tomorrow.

Sketches Written by Pioneer

Editor's note How many Richmond persons have acted as ununderwriters or endorsers have ultimately become liable for the entire amount of the debt of a friend whom they acommodated? In today's article by Henry Hoover, the brother of David Hoover, the writer says he would be pleased if the endorsing principle were struck from the statutes of the state and the individual liability and responsibility instituted. Hoover tells of attending a Democratic convention at Indianapolis in the winter of 1840, as a delegate, all electors being appointed to pledge themselves to support Martin Van Buren. While there he says J. W. Borden returned from Washington with the appointment off receiver of public money in the land office at Fort Wayne and Borden asked Hoover, with others, to act as an endorser. In 1841, Hoover says, Borden became a defaulter and suit was instituted against the former by the United States In a plea of thirty thousand dollars. Borden paid back some of the money and was afterwards elected a circuit jxidge. In the month of April, 1S34, my dear mother departed this life for one in Heaven, Where the wicked cease from trembling and the weary are at rest. And in Dcember of the same year, rayfather followed her. Both were laid in the Hicksite hurrying ground. My father in his eighty-third year and my mother in her eighty-first year. My father was a man, jealous in his attachment to the principles of the society of Friends. He rode many in here? It is ice-cold in both faucets." Helen who was brushing her hair, came to the door with an anxious "Why, isn't there any hot water?" "I just said both faucets were dunning ice cold." "Perhaps if you let them run a little while" "What do you think I have been dging?" Turning back to again poke his fingers under the running faucet. Tuat nw wait. I'll tell bvm a thing or two." He strode to the telephone, the cord and tassel of his bath robe trailed after him. It caught the rocker of a chair. He jerked it sava-gely and the tassel came off. Muttering something under his breath, he took up the receiver. j "Here, give me the janitor." Pause. ! "What's the matter down there j the water is running ice cold up here What? Well, it's your business to see to that' How - long You don't expect to run a house that way, do you? Well, if it happens again I'll see the agent and have a man put in here that will look after things," slamming up the receiver. Then turning to Helen. "Now I've got to have some hot watr to shave. See if there is any in the kitchen." In a moment Helen came hurrying back with a large tin cup of boiling water. "Will this do? She can heat you more in a few minutes." Til have to make it do. But I tell you right now if this keeps up we will get out of here in a hurry"- Lease or no lease, we're not going to put up with any such service."

Today Contrasts

Town of 1806 miles as a pilot to traveling preachers in this wilderness country. Nor did he ever absent himself from church, unless unavoidable obstacles intervened. In one sense of the word he was a Pharasee, thinking the Quakers right and them only. He espoused the Hicksite section in the famous separation of 1827 and was conse quently turned out of the church, of which treatment he afterwards complained, as a matter almost insupportable. I often thought he carried the matter of resentment too far. It was a subject upon which he was incontrollable. He was a man punctual in the payment of his debts, very seldom contracting any and moderate in his desire for this world's wealth. My mother and if ever the word mother could in all that mother means be applied to one person, it could in strict propriety be applied to her. She was a mother in Isreal. She was no sectarian, no bigot. She looked upon the different sects as belonging to our Heavenly Father's great family and her preference was based upon the goodness of the heart, the devotional frame of mind and not the name of Quaker or any other name. Votes For Van Buren. The temprament of my parents were sometimes on some subjects dissimilar and produced occasionally some disquietude, when a character of other denominations passed under review, my mother showing a willingness to acord to them sincerity in heart, in the mode of serving God. But they have passed away and their children would do well to walk as they walked. In the year 1836 I cast my vote for Martin VanBuren for president of the United States and in 1839 was appointed collector of the state and county revenue. In the winter of 1840 I was appointed a delegate to the great Democratic A CLEAR COMPLEXION Ruddy Cheeks Sparkling Eyes Most Women Can Have Says Dr. Edwards, a Well-Known Ohio Physician. v

Dr. F. M. Edwards for 17 years treated scores of women for liver and bowel ailments. During these years he gave to his patients a prescription made of a few well known vegetable ingredients mixed with olive oil, naming them Dr. Edwards Olive Tablets, you will know them by their olive color. These tablets are w-onder-workers on the liver and bowels, which cause a nprmal action, carrying off the waste and poisonous matter that one's system collects.

convention on the eighth day of January. Electors were appointed to pledge themselves to support Martin Van Buren in the coming canvass. While at Washington an event of some importance occurred which I think proper to mention in this place, J. W. Borden had just returned from Washington city, with the appointment" of receiver of public money in the land office at Fort Wayne. There were present at this gathering every officer necessary to complete his bonds, and Mr. Borden, anxious to enter upon the duties of his office, applied to many and to myself, to endorse to the government his faithful discharge of the duties required of him. Receiver Becomes Defaulter. In 1841 he became a defaulter, in the sum of some thousands of dollars and suit was instituted against him and his securities. In the fall of 1842 I was cited by the marshal of state to appear and answer the United States in a plea of thirty thousand dollars debt. I had, for years, been in the habit of endorsing for small sums and sometimes had to pay the debt, as such, but the present case was of a character that I, heretofore had been a stranger to and filled my

mind with uneasy forebodings, not easily described. During the pendency of this suit, Mr. Borden settled a large amount of the debt and afterwards being elected circuit judge, he was enabled to keep the officers of the United States off his securities. I have made these remarks for the purpose of giving a caution to the reader of these sketches to form some definite principle on the subject of endorsement. "Look before you leap',, is an old proverb and before you put in jeopardy yourself and your family look well to the character and means of the person whose debts you foolishly assume. I entertain unmitigated hostility to the scoundrel, who, after receiving funds in trust for the government or for an individual, basely converts them to his own use and subjects his endorsers to settle the claim, which none other than himself should have paid. Advises Against Underwriting. I would also recommend to my children solemnly to promise before God to become an underwriter for no man, unless required to do so by statutary law. I might name some other cases but this will suffice and although I have ventured largely I

We do not ask any man to become an endorser for the moral or religious opinions of another and why then for the payment of debt? It sometimes happens that the debtor's means of payment are destroyed by fire, by lightning, sunk in the sea or river, or destroyed by flood and undr such circumstances, who has a better right to suffer than the creditor, and why take the last farthing from the endorser?
