The Box Didn't Make Change.

1t would be supposed that by this
,ime nearly every man, woman and
child in this city would know enough
about the money boxes in street cars
to enable them to put their fare in the
box. Especially in this case when
there is large sign staring the pas
senger in the face to put "the exact
fare in the box"
The other day lady, nicely dress
ed, boarded short line Birmingham
car at the corner of Carson and Tenth
streets, to ride to the city. She flash
ed out of her pocket, which was con-
cealed where no man could eyer find it /:
q beautiful little purse, and extracting
dime, she refused the proffered aid of
fellow passenger to put her fare in
the box. She walked to the forward
end of the car and dropped the dime
into the opening of the box. Then she
stood there with an expectant look on
her face and one hand on the top of the
box. Whether she expected the box
would open and hand out a nickel in
change in about the same manner as
practiced by a cabinet speak easy"
the other passengers could only guess.
The driver told her she would have to
stand the loss of the nickel unless the
car took on another passenger.
At the Pittsburg end of the bridge
another passenger got on. He wore q
light blonde mustache and self f-satisfied
air of "mashing" anything in sight, as
he tripped past the young lady. AS
he asked the driver for two nickels in
exchange for a dime, the mule puncher
told him of the young lady's predica.
ment OF course, he was only too glad
to pay her back the five cents and
smiled sweetly as he handed over that
amount. With "you-bet-Pm-in-it"
expression. he turned around and drop.
ped the other nickel in the box. Then
he discovered that he was out nickel,
and the smiles of the passengers made
him go out and commune with himself

Longe Pointe, Zone. dispatch: A fire
in the insane asylum here was attended
with the most frightful consequences.
The buildings were filled with patients,
many of whom lost their lives, as the

fatalities, but the number is placed as
high as 100.

The scene of anguish that ensued
when the magnitude OF the disaster was
realized was almost without parallel.
There were 1900 inmates In the build

as possible they were rushed TO the
western wing, hurried down stairs and
out upon the grounds. There upon the
wet grass some OF them huddled to-
gether under the cover OF blankets,
while others wandered through tho
grounds with faces untouched by the
horror OF the scene.
More than 1000 helpless creatures
were gathered together within the in
closure OF tho grounds, guarded only by
the man at the gate. One young girl I'm

How to Keep Your Skin Nice.

Don't use a sponge or linen rag for
your face; choose instead flannel one.
Don't batho in hard water; soften 1t
with few drops of ammonia or little
borax.
Don't bathe your face while 1t is very
warm and never use very cold water for
il.
Don't wash your face while you are
travelling, unless it is with little al
cohol and water or little vaseline.
Don't attempt to remove dust with
cola water; give your face a hot bath,
using plenty of good soap. then give IL a
thorough rinsing with water that has
had the chill taken off of it.
Don't rub your face with a coarse
towel; just remember IL is not made OF
cast-iron and treat it as you would the
t.porcelain-gently and delicately-
Don't believe you can get rid OF wrin-
kles by filling in the crevices with pow
der. Instead, give your face q Russian
bath every night-that Is, bathe II with
water so hot that you wonder how you
can stand IL, and then minute after
with cold water that will make IL glow
with warmth; dry IL with soft towel
and go to bed and You ought to sleep
like baby, while your skin is growing
firmer and coming from out OF the
wrinkles and your rest.

Philosophy OF the Street.

Nothing falls 1atter than misdirected
enthusiasm that does not awaken even
an echo.
The average mans politics and rclI-
gion are either inherited or accepted
secondhand.
Suspicious people torture themselves
while those they are afraid OF are calmly
sleeping.
Asking a woman for reason Is as sat
isfactory as trying to take drink out OF
an empty bottle.

man is placed in delicate position
when requested to ofliciate under such
circumstances, and standing between

choice in the matter, The tone of tho
letter is such as has no doubt surprised
every reader. The secretary of the

dered to be retained VINO might vote forthe

not at all sensational. Wood does not

manipulation of the Mormon vote we could
