superb and the hotels are unsurpassed,
but-but why don't you name your
streets?"
Name our streets!" exclaimed the
Chicagoan. I'VE do. You can't find a
street in the city without name"
We'll, then," went on the stranger,
why not derive some benefit fiom it2
Why should there be any secrecy about
it? Why not treat all streets alike2 Why
put the name of one street on the cor
ner lamppost and not the name of the
next? And why not have some uniform
ity about it?' he continued, warming
up to his subject. why tack the name
of ore street onto building, put the
next on lamppost, the third half way

clear at the top of it and have no sign
at all for the ?''-Chicago Post.

Five Cent Lodging Houses Where Chairs
Take the Place of Beds.

Five Cent Lodging Houses Where Chairs
Take the Place of Beds.
Finding a lodging place for the night
when one has but cents-an ordinary
street ear fare nickel-is no easy job.
Lodging houses where the beds rent for
10 cents hold as grimly to tariff prices
as a coal combine IN arctic weather
would do. 1t is case of fat money
with those people. If they had 500 beds
and but five dodgers, the sixth could not
get an abatement, even though his flesh
were dropping from his bones with
frost. No pay, no bed," is the motto,
and they stick to it.
Nowadays dimes are being with
drawn from circulation. At least the
people who are forced into begging
them report that to be the state of the
money market Two nickles make a
dime, it is true, and so do 10 pennies,
but there seems to be bear movement
in small coins, and this form of cur
rency also is hard to get, especially so
for those who either can't, don't or
won't work for it.
AS matter of fact there are many
hundred persons in Chicago every night
who cannot purchase lodging for lack
of means and who stay out so late that
access to the station houses is denied
because they are already overcrowded.
These people will then sleep anywhere.
All they want is cover from the night.
That can be had in Chicago for
cents. But the lowest tramp, if for
tune favored him with dime, would
shrink with horror from lodging in
such a place. There are one or two
places of the kind in Chicago. and they
are hard 10 find. When found, they are
the very apotheosis of degradation, dirt
and dinginess. Beside the ) cent places
those where admittance is dime are
palaces. For 5 cents the lodger is al
lowed the privilege of a chair until
morning simply that and nothing
more.
The keepers of such places form the
lowest elements of society. They do
not treat their patrons as humans, nor
yet as beasts of the field. The cent

kicks. When his nickel enters the greasy
pocket that gapes for it, he is then an
atom of squalor, and he is treated &C.
cordingly.
Recently the Atlas hotel was visited.
It is probably the worst lodging house
in Chicago. The prices begin at cents
and run to Is cents. 1t is located on
Custom House place few yards from
Van Buren street. On one side of it is
a stable. There the horses get clean
straw every night for bedding. On the
other side is deserted church, which
has been purchased and which will be
shortly converted into another lodging
house. Amid such surroundings the
poor fellow who has but nickel is al
lowed to stay over night. He can sit on
i, three legged chair, or he can lie down
4 the floor In either event he is forced
% sleep with another man half cover
ing him, for every night the filthy eel
lar is crowded. Chicago Inter Ocean.

After the Wedding.

How soon should calls upon bride
be NADER" is question that has been
frequently asked. Calls upon a bride
should be made very soon after her re-
turn from her wedding trip, if no day
Ior such has been designated, and as
immediate visit must be paid to he1
mother or person at whose house the re-
ception was held. The bride returns
her calls soon and SO far as possible in
the order in which they are made. Her
neglect to acquit herself of these debts
would be inexcusable, and person SC
careless would deserve to be socially
forgotten. Detroit Free Press.

Senators In the Barber's Chair.

A workman in the senate barber shop
in Washington is credited with saying
that the senators are 1.-The most peace
full" men to shave he has ever met,
though some of them are particular.
One senator, he says, he has twice shaw
ed three times in one day, not because
his beard grows so fast, but because the
senator - likes the sensation" Another
senator has pair of little side whis-
kers of which he is fond and to which
be devotes any amount of attention. 1"
He did not reveal all this to any sena-
tor, and to the helpless man to whom it
was communicated he said with de-
spairing tone, You know we are not
allowed to talk to our senatorial Gus
toners unless they talk to us first" Who
would not wish to be a United States
senator while being shaved?-Chicago

At an inquest held in England the
evidence brought to light the queer fact
that the dead mans life had been in
sured for 800 by the liquor dealer whose
bar he chiefly patronized. No secret
was made about the matter, it being
perfectly fair and above board, the liq-
uor dealer only wishing to insure him
self against the loss of business conse-
quent on the death of valuable Gus
toner. The practice is stated to be
quite frequent. Letter.

PENCIL POINTERS.

In his message to the General Assembly
Governor Mckinley makes some whole
some and timely remarks relative to
taxation, a subject that is of increased
interest, if that be possible, to the
people in these times. He says:
"a subject of great Importance which
will claim your attention is that of
taxation. The State should have ade
quate revenues for all needed public ex-
penditures, and these can and should be
secured without any burdens being added
to the property in the State already
bearing its full share of taxation.
Equality in taxation should be had, and
if had, the rate could be appreciably
diminished. If all the property were
listed for taxation at its true value, or at
like value, the money required for
public purposes conld be raised with
much less burden than now. Real estate
and other tangible property now pays
the large share of taxes, while other va
rieties of property which are intangible
either wholly escape or bear dispropor-
tionate share There should be no dis
elimination. One class of property
should not be exempt at the expense Of
another"

Because the winter thus far has been
mild certain weather prophets are now
predicting that February and March will
be unusually severe. If weather prophets
could be suppressed entirely we believe
people would not pay half so much atten-
ton to the weather and would not notice
whether it is cold or otherwise. Prophets
prophesy and people are interested to
know if the prophecies come true,
