From the Chicago Daily Tribune
A dilapidated pattern of a man stepped
up to citizen who was walking briskIy
along the street the other evening and ac-
costed him.
"Cap'n," he said, Il hain't got no hard

would have afforded me sincere satisfaction
to extend a helping hand to you. But you
have chosen to appeal to a total stranger
for means wherewith TO minister to the

Do you know that the curse of strong drink

man beings in this country? Do you know
that the yearly expenditure for alcoholic
beverages amounts to sum equal to .he
national debt? Have you any idea of the

Heat alley is not an institution of mere

fragrant warmth of Heat alley, enjoyed

Why Heat alley? Because, at this season,
the alley is not. Gusts of warmth burst
from the open windows of cellar and base
ment engine rooms and boi er rooms where
in, during the winter. the stoking never
ceases, else hotel guests and Office tenants
would be a-Cold. The heat swirls out Of
the windows in invisible, puffy eddies, and,
instantly changed into warm vapor, at

From the London Telegraph.
Here is a story of orthodox robin.
Some time ago attended morning service
In Ely Cathedral, where. during the pray
ers, a robin kept fitting about the build
ing, joining occasionally in the service
with modest "chirrup." When the
clergyman ascended the pulpit and began
to speek, the robin deliberately perched
himself on one OF the pinnacles Of the
.chancel screen, quite close to the orator,
and the louder the pastor preached the
louder did the robin sing, much to the
amusement of the congregation. have no
recollection of what the sermon was about,
but the robins singing made a deep i'm

The wind came up strong and cutting

of the black men were chattering when

to be suffering from the cold so much.
Some of them were honest, respectable
looking men of the working class. There
was one man whose few remarks evinced
superior education. He wore a battered
top hat and tattered frock coat closely
buttoned, with no Indication of a shirt un-
