third floors of the building are occupied by
departments of the store on the first floor.
and are reached by more inviting stairways
leading up from the interior of the store
room. On the fourth or on a higher floor
are the rooms constituting the home of the
man, woman and children who nightly con-
gregate and sleep there. The front of the
building, even on the upper floor, is occu-
pied as a store room by the establishment
below.
The home consists of the uninviting
rooms in the rear of the building. They
look out on the dark, Smoke-covered walls
and dirty area that comprises the little
court in the rear of the building block.
The view includes series of roofs,
the roofs are black with age, or smoke-be-
grimed and no two of them are of the same
height. They rest one above the other
with the black brick and stone walls at a
background, and finally end with the
roofs of the tallest buildings.
The sunshine never reaches clear down
into the walled area. Its rays never glad
den the bottom of the building well. They
barely extend over the uppermost roofs,
and as of to make amends for not covering
more territory they shine with increased
violence and heat or the limited surface eX-
posed.
From the rear, looking into the elevated
| dwellings, the scene presented is most grand
and original. Extending out near the level
of the window is gravel roof that covers
the addition to the building. The surface
is broken by skylight. but despite, this
it is converted into yard, flower garden
and play ground for the little children who
are part of the family.
Out on the roof is a rag doll, nondescrpt
color, but testifying to long service and ex-
| posure to dirt and storm. Near by is a
| dog, mongrel, yellow in color. He is in
tent on finding shady spot on the roof.
He goes in and out of the open window,
near which is puny child who is resting
on bed, improvised by two chairs and
aimlessly looking out the window. Hel

SHALL THE BELLS RINGf

Cleveland has for some time been
agitated by contest which, while it ragged,
involved the bittereSt discussion between
clergy and laity, between conservatism and
those who maintained that theirs was the
progressive view. All is now serene, how
ever, and the victory rests with the so-called
progressive portion of the laity. The ques-
ton was, whether the church bells sh ould
ring on Sunday. The friends of tradition
and the constant church goers declared that
it was the worst kind of sacrilege to enter
tain for a moment any idea of doing away
with the bells. On the other hand, the
opponents of the bells maintained that
there was no longer any necessity for their
ringing. In days gone by, before the gen.
eral distribution of watches and clocks, the
bells were required to inform the waiting
congregations when the time had arrived
for the services to begin. Now
this was all changed. On the con-
trary, there was much to be said why
the bells should not ring. Many hard work.

needlessly disturbed by the more or less
discordant ringing. In short. the few adj

by the disadvantages. This argument wor

A dainty knot of blue,
A ribbon blithe of hue
