CHICAGOANs ought to be famous
from one end of the world to the
other for their sweet and gentle
tempers. They drink sewage and do
not lynch the officials responsible.
When on the streets they are moved
down by cable-cars, and when in the
cable-cars they are cut to pieces by
locomotives on grade crossings. Yet
changing bees" have not become
popular. They destroy their eyesight
reading by wretched gas, yet supinely
pay bills as big as though the most
brilliant electric illumination had
been furnished. They are driven
from the sidewalks when walking be-
cause some contractor is too busy
breaking the record for fast building
to keep the sidewalk clear. Yet do
they not complain, but point with
pride to the lofty buildings put up
with such unparalleled speed and
exult that, though the blue sky is
pierced with enormous buildings,
''rents haven't gone down dollar,
sir, and you can't overdo building in
Chicago" A gOod-natured COM
munity indeed is this, and if a Chi
cago man should once enjoy his
proper rights and liberties he might
die of the shock.

rather humiliating confession to de-

the most that highly civilized peo-
pie has been able to for do them is to
teach them to fight in blue coats in

Catholics and Protestants the mer-

ParagOns Of Eiliai Pi0ty.

Filial piety is the special virtue of
China and Japan. From it springs
loyalty to the Emperor, who is re-
garded as ''the father and mother of
his people," There are no greater
favOrites with the japanese than the
"Four-and-Twenty Paragons of Filial
Piety," whose acts of virtue are the
subject of Chinese legends.
One of the Paragons had cruel
step-mother who was very fond of fish.
Never repining at her cruel treatment
of him, he lay down on the frozen
surface of lake. The warmth of his
body melted hole In the ice, at
which two carp came up to breathe;
these he caught and took home to his
step-mother.
Another Paragon, a boy with a
sensitive skin, insisted on sleeping
without any covering at night, so
that the mosquitoes should fasten on
him, while his parents slumbered I'M
disturbed.
Another, who was of the female
sex, chung to the jaws of a tiger
which was about to devour her father
until the latter had escaped.
The drolleSt of all these stories is
that of Rorashi. This Paragon, though
20 years old. used to dress in baby's
clothes and crawl about on the floor.
His object was to delude his parents,
who were really over ninety years of
age, into the idea that they could not
be so very old after all, as thew had
such an exceedingly infantile son!
The japanese consider that one
of the gravest dangers to the future
welfare of their country arises from
the importation of our less patri-
archal Western ideas

''It is asking too much of Mr..

banker suavely, ito expect him to
enumerate all his deadhead subscribers
in this audience, and 1 move"
''No trouble at ALL" cheerfully in
terposed Mr. Clugston, ''only I don't
want to consume the time of this
meeting. There's about fifteen of
them here, I think. And when it
comes to delinquents, who owe me
from so cents to SO, this meeting,
gentleman, comes pretty near being
unanimous. I've got over $500
outstanding on subscription, and, so
help me Horace Greeley, there's nearly
$500 of it in this audience!"
Editor Clugston looked over the
congregation. There were the fell
lows who had subscribed two years
before ito help him along" and had
never paid a cent. There were the
merchants who got extra copies
to send to friends and thought they
were entitled to them for nothing.
There were the tough men of the viii
lage, whose names had got on his list
somehow, whom he didn't dare to
dun, and there were the men who
borrowed the paper instead Of sub.
scribing for it and found more fault
with it than anybody else did.
"While l am explaining things"
continued Editor Clugston, 81 will
explain that I owe my cub at the
office a months salary I owe a
board bill of $3.50. l owe about
$75 in bills coming due in week.
And I've got Sl.35 to pay 'em with.
Took in 81 on subscription to-day. It
isn't likely" he added, raising his
voice, that I'll ever have as favorable
an opportunity to inaugurate my cash
system as I have right now. Your
accounts on subscription are in this
book, gentlemen. You will oblige
me very much by coming forward and
settling at once"
In the sepulchral stiffness that fol-
lowed his remarks Banker Wildcat
came to the front with 1925, which
he said was the payment in advance
for five copies of the Blizzard.
Then the Chairman, followed BY
the Secretary and several others O!
the assembled deadheads, handed
over Sl.25 each IN silence.
Subscribers who were in arrears fOl
various amounts squared up theil
accounts, and when the editor of the

was established on solid cash basis
And now mark how Editor Clugs
ton had met this last great crisis ir
his career.
That indignation meeting was his
own scheme.
He originated it in all its details,
and its successful outcome was the re-

with Banker Wildcat the day before.

no combinations of circumstances can
