difference confined to what you eat. A
gentleman alone can get q room at q hotel
for from 81 to g. IL he ie accompanied by
his wife the same kind of accommodations
will cost him 50 to 8 per day. This ex-
actly reyerses the ordinary methods OF
business life. The stores and every class
of trade that appeals to women for their
custom cut prices down to the last cent
and q split nickel Is the rule
of every sale. Gentlemen who buy
the women stores can always get things
cheaper than at the mems furnishing stores.
The plain inference of this incongruity Is
that the increased price of food In the Ia
dies restaurant is an imposition that is
tolerable and tolerated only through the
weakness of human nature.
The other day a couple of gentlemen were
Iunohing rather deliberately at q prominent

How TO BUY
If you van TO deal with New York truck
men. cabmen, street vendors and many
small tradesmen at bottom figures, wear
poor clothes or send somebody else. The
well-dressed man. who carries about in his
parannol onnaoronoa tho ainna nj prOa-
perity, will often be compelled to pay
double. He will frequently be made the
victim of various kinds Of extortion and
will get no sympathy from any quarter.
On the other hand, the poor have q soft
heart for each other, and the appearance
of poverty insures the lowest cash price
for goods or service. If you don't believe
this, try It on some favorable occasion. and
you will be both amused and instructed.
The retirement of Col. John A. Cockerill
from the World will not surprise those who
are coDversant with the recent manage
ment of that paper. Colonel Cockerill is
the man who made the World possible. He
contributed to its success more than any
body else. not excepting Mr.. Joseph Pulit-
ger, and while Cockerill was invested with
the supreme authority that great journal
reached its highest efficiency and public
popularity. The management. having be-
come an irresponsible, hydra headed con-
Germ. always at skies n sevens with it
self, the decline was certain and only q
matter of uime. No great newspaper was
ever built up or maintained any length of
time hat was not controlled In its practi-
cal workings by q single dominant. master
mind. And even q poor sort of master. in
such q case, il better than half a dozen
good ones. The history OF American
journalism abundantly illustrates this.
81 never carried q watch in my life."
said q New Yorker of fifty. IA watch is q
habit, not q necessary article. No man
who carries a watch can be any more regu-
lar in his habits than am. 1 can get up
at a certain minute, and do SO, every
morning. i can tell the time of day by
feeling my face. The beard grows ex actly
so much and you can come within q reason
able time of the hour by passing the and
over your chin. Not that it Is often neces-
sary. because regular habits soon become
second nature and you never think of won
dering about tLa hour. OF course the man
who lives on trans and boats a good deal
mas to wear a time-piece and a timetable"
