ALLOW NO INTERRUPTION.
Chicagoans who Conduct Their Business
in "Crippled" Buildings,

In "Crippled' Buildings
Time was when q Chicago store had
to suspend business while repairs were
going on In the building, but in the
Chicago of to-day such thing would
be considered commercial shortsighted-
ness. Indeed, there are few instances
to-day which create no little surprise
and comment on the part Of even Chi
cagoans.
On the busiest portion Of State street
. new store front is being put into one
of the buildings The entire front of
the lower part of the structure has been
torn out, but the business of the store
has not ceased for an instant during the
regular hours. The second story is be-
ing held up by heavy piers, and these
leave just enough room to reveal sign
on a rickety door over ragged opening
informing the reader that though
things look chaotic, though workmen
saw and hammer and hustle, you can
buy goods rs cheaply as ever, etc.
1t is a queer sight, and many pedes-
TRANS stop to view the scene and mar
vel, for it is rislking ones life to try to
enter the crippled establishment while
worlsmcn are tearing brick and stone out
of its front
But the most curious of these disar'
ranged structures is one on Washington
| strcet-an Office building seven stories
high. 1t is an old structure and its
front is out of date. So in order to put
| In a new front and at the same time ado
another story the front portion Of
the lower floors was ripped out and the
structure raised on big screws The
sidewalk is Uttered with debris, and ;
shed over it protects passers-by from
falling bricks As far as one can SCI
into the dusty and dark interior of thu
building there is naught save big pillar
supporting the structure. 1t looks Xix,
q cyclone cellar after the house above i
has been blown down. Yet all over tn,
front timbcrs are great placards: M
interruption to business while repair
arc going on"
And business is not interrupted. II

Quoting their business, real estate mel
are selling "the choicest lots in Cool
county" and the musical tap of tn

evators run as usual, though not SO ia
down, and though the dust is thicke

10 A PICTURE.

o dear familiar facet that look'st on me
With sweet and serious eyes
Could'st thou but come again across Times
sea
From heights Of Paradise,
would not grieve thee, would not give thee
pain,
But in glad surprise
My heart would throb and joyful beat again,
AS pulsing tides arise.
would not turn lips unresponsive, cold,
To meet thine eager kiss;
would not vex thee, as in the days Of old,
OF mingled pain and bliss;
would not grieve thee with q Maynard mood
Or youthful carelessness,
But filed with love and fondest gratitude
I'd meet thy warm caress
Couldst thou but come again, my love, TO
night
From out the shadowy mist,
And look on me with the old smile so bright,
With lips my lips have kissed,
All then, my heart would JOY in very truth
With sense Of perfect rest,
For, purged OF all the arrogance OF youth,
My love would stand confessed.
For have measured all the depth Of woe
That comes to us with years
And sometimes l could hardly have it So
The penance and the tears
The longing, and the fruitless, namcless pain,
Stronger than hopes or fears
The spellthat fingers like some sweet refrain,
And grieves while yet it cheers
sweet and serious true and honest eyes,
Lighted with manhoods grace!
Perhaps in realms beyond the starry skies
Thou hast a dwelling place.
Mlayhap yon cloud may fringe the curtain
hem
like ilmy shimmering lace)
That hides from us a New Jerusalem
Where shines the raptured face.
o earnest thoughtful facet as on thy brow
gaze, hot tears will start
And memory brings thy form before me now
With more than painters art,
Perhaps, beyond the hills thy soul may know
And understand this heart,
And in the sweet and radiant afterglow
We shall not be apart

italian Illiteracy,

The population in 1861, including
Rome and Venetia, was about 25,O00,-
600. In 1889 it was 80, 946,Sl7, and in
the last fifteen years the country las
thrown off LOGS, 4S6 emigrants. When
it is remembered how frightfully high
the Italian rates of mortality are, it
will be admitted that this is very fair
increase of population. Italy, which
used to be one of the most ignorant
countries in the world, has made prog
ress in this respect, and now stands far
above Russia and Poland, and close be-
hind Hungary. In 1866, among the levy
of conscripts born in 1916, sixty-four out
of every hundred were unable to read
or write. In 1889 the percentage had
fallen to forty-two. In the latter year
the percentage of illiterates in Hungary
was thirty-six. II is not always posi-
BILE to obtain figures for every country
in every year, but, taking the year
1887, the percentage of illiterates in 100
conscrints was rs follows.

to have slipped out from that wealth
of happy evenings back in their first
welded year to this time when it knew
it would be needed. He read the biog-

might convince the world of his
worth, but could he convince her?
1t would be more difficult, but it must
be done. Before the evening was over,

There is an old adage to the effect
that "All good comes from within"
Like many sayings of its kind it was ut
tered in an age when reputation for
wisdom was easiest acquired by getting
off a few little things of that sort, with
u catchy twang and no substance,
which might, therefore, mean much or
little, The good in Smiths case came
from without. After proving to the
world that he was something of man,
there arose an inward necessity that he
establish the same fact to Mrs. Smith,
and to do this he was obliged to prove
his worth to himself. After continued
and earnest effort he succeeded admira-
bly, at all points. Those who persisted
in soothing at his biographcr's lavish use
of color were deemed jealous carpers.
Smith has been prominently mentioned
for various positions of trust by many
persons who know him, including Mrs.
Smith, who thinks he should be made
president H. l.. Wilson, in Puck.

COUNTY WARRANTS STOLEN.
Tho Sheriff Of AIturas County in Pursuit Of the
Alleged Thief.

HALEY, Ida, Aug. 13.-John
Griffith, superintendent of the Ida
no Sampling Mill Company of this
discovered that his county warrants
principally of Logan county issue,
aggregating about $4,000, had
been stolen from his safe in his
office. Subsequent investigation
locates the theft upon a young
man named Cooper, who for some
time past has been in the employ
of Griffiths at the sampling works,
but was discharged month ago
on account of suspicion of his COM
plicity with the ore sailing swindle,
whereby the First National Bank
and Sampling Company were
swindled out of $4,000. Cooper
while in the employ of the sampling
company had learned the combin-
alton of the safe, and while Super
intendent Grifliths was outside
stole the warrants therefrom and
sold fifteen hundred dollars worth
to Lawyer Montandon of this city,
and it is alleged remained at his
home until 4 O'clock this morning
when he disappeared on horseback.
The Sheriff is securing the country
for the fugitive. Public opinion
differs as to the validity of the sale
of the stolen warrants, but Griffith
is sanguine that he will not lose
dollar. Griffith is well-to.do and
usually invests heavily in county
scrip.

lions have done all that was posi-
Ole from keeping silver from being
used as a medium of exchange to
lmpoverish and rob their own colon
lal labor. five but assist, the price
OF gold will be still further advanced
and the price of silver deprecated.
Silver, metal that has been in use
as medium of exchange as long as
gold, is the poor mans and laborer's
money and is still in use by three.
fourths of the world. Now if we do
this we but assist the awful con-
spiracy that is struggling to enslave
the world, but if we take the silver
side we take the side of labor of the
world over even labor of Europe, as
their debts are payable in gold.
Now then, the cause of silver is the
cause of labor, ofjustice, of truth, of
honesty, and of humanity, of pros
perity, of progress, and OF civiliza-
ton. If we assist the conspiracy
we will bring down the labor and en-.
terprise of the world in ruin and
misery. The battle ground of this
country and all depends on our
action.
Now then, what we ought to do
is to arrest, possible, this depre-
citation of silver, because we have
an immense amount on hand that
must be made as good as gold.
That is, we have an immense
amount CT this property to be injuri-
ously affected.
In fact, in the position that we
are in anything that will make
silver dearer in price as compared
with gold will be vastly to our
benefit.
Now, this cannot be done by
any fiat humbug; the way to make
silver dearer is to create demand
for it by putting it in use-especial-
ly as we have mines to produce
an immense amount, and anyone
knows that when money is being
produced largely in mines that
countries Immediately become pros
porous. Let them remember silver
has not been used as money in this
country, for at least since the war;
our quadroon silver dollar is not
money in the true sense of the
word, although it is said to- be as
good as a dollar on all accounts Of
the fiat of Uncle Sam. Now then,
as l have said, our object is to
enhance the price of silver by
creating a demand for it. Now,
let no one think this is a very
difficult task, for we have at least
50 per cent of mankind interested
in and who would be benefited by
the same thing we should not hest
tate one moment about adopting the
economical plan which would just
make prosperity triumpha mt in the
United States, and would so bene-
fit the world of industry and labor
and ST. increase the amount of
human happiness. Now, we have
brought our reader to the foot of
the great financial hill which this
country must climb. Every man
who thoroughly understands our
"bi-metallic parity" of value sys-
tenn knows what l mean. TO every
man who does not understand it |
recommend its thorough and imme-
dat study, and let him study it
under the truo conception that
money is a commodity, and let
him not for one moment be deluded
by the idea that money is simply
a creature of the law, although law
by influencing the use of money or
with the law of demand
