A Chicago Shirt.

That portion of Chicago's population
which is particular about the way it
dresscs-and there is such portion,
whatever the jealous residents of other
towns may pretend to thinks just
now in state of intense but pleasurable
excitement. This emotion results from
the fact that in one of that city's most
fashionable stores there has been placed
OH sale Il full line Of shirts so construct
ed as to be exactly what the elegant
youth of Chicago have long demanded
in vain. 1t is a shirt planned on wholly
new principles, and the inventor claims
for it the merit of preserving an appear
ance of immaculatcness for an almost
indefinite period Other shirts must be
sent to the laundry every few months,
but this one is subject to no such neces-
sity, and the consequent economy in
money and trouble will be almost be-
yond the power of figures to express.
The greater part of the new garment
is much like similar sections Of its pred
ecessors 1t is upon the exposed front
that Chicago's bcnefactor has expended
all the power of his genius. Indeed, it
is simply front that he has produced,
and yet it is by no means "dicky' for
which he demands admiration and pat
ronage The 'diclly' has been tried in
Chicago and found wanting. The new
device is disk Of stiff linen, revolving
on a gold stud and divided into four Y
shaped scgments of equal size and diff
ferent colors Each segment is large
enough to more than fill the space left
open by reasonably high waistcoat,
and is therefore shirt for all practical
purposca-as practical purposes In the
shirt lire are understood i'll Chicago.
When one quarter Of the disk has served
the purpose OF beauty and protection to
the Ncerer's satisfaction, all he has to
do is to turn the next quarter into view,
and, behold, he is started anew on So
cial rounds and can face the world with
confidence Of bis power to undergo Sc
verest scrutiny Again and once again
may he repeat this operation, and after
that-well, after that he will be an old
man with little regard for appearances
and none for criticism. New York

Hnnran With 4 Pr-pose.

An interesting story comes to US from
Boston, where they tell it with bated
breath. 1t appears that the officials in
charge of the juvenile department of the
Boston public library have noticed for
the past week or two all unusual de-
mand for copies of Bunyan's "Pilgrim's
Progress. This demand was so much
in excess of anything they had ever
known that they felt it necessary to in
vestigate the causes of this unprecedent-
ed interest in Bunyan. Inquiry revealed
the fact that the teacher Of history in
we'll known school had reached the CO.
lonial events Of tie seventeenth century,
,:nd had recommended to all her pupils
the perusal of Bunyan's beck as a part
of the photography Of the story of the
pilgrim fathers. -Bool:man.

Aldermen In Belgium.

In every city the aldermen and mayor,
or burcclnas.er, are CT high social re-
pute, elected to Office because OF special
fitness for tie branch OF public affairs
they are chosen to manage. Said one,
with horror and shame. I'VE hear that
in America aldermen are sometimes
thieyes." The first alderman of public

school, progressive ard public spirited.
The alderman responsible for the Client
schools fills also tie chair of political
economy at the university, keeps in
touch with the methods of other nations,
reads the reports Of the United States
department Of labor, and, much to my
surprise, identified me at once from
having seen my name III one Of those

eating Him Eack."

In farming district in Louisiana a
candidate once made n very sensible
talk to some CT his discontinued constit-
uents. lie told them that it twas hard to
draw the line between the rich and the
poor. "You call the Blanks rich peo-
ple," he said, "but they are simply
we'll to do farmers Over yonder, in the
river bottom, they would be regarded
as men OF very moderate means. But
the big planters of tine bottom lands,
even when they are out Of debt, are poor
men by the side Of the great merchants,
manufacturers and general operators in
tic cities. You think yourselves poor,
but there are men who look upon you
as people in easy circumstances. You
are foolish to array the man with two
horses against the man who has only
one.
lie then told the following story:
lone DAY farmer rode into a little
country town in state adjoining Lou
isiana and got into talk with some
friends at a store where he had gone to
make some purchases. Well, John,
said one how are you getting along:'
What, ne? Oh, tolerably well-just
the same, just like always do. And
all the neighbors out your way, how
are they getting along?' Well, they're
Just the same, too-just like am. We
never allow any difference out our
way, you know No? Well, how do
you manage that Well, whenever we
notice any fellow getting ahead, you
know, we just GO to see him, and we
stay with him until we eat him back. !"
There are many such communities.
When people see their neighbors getting
ahead, they swarm around them and
"eat them back. Atlanta Constitu-

Wnrking Both Ends.

Local papers cay that the enterprising
hunters near the boundary line have a
way of taking advantage of both the
Maine and the New Hampshire laws
and so get double bounty upon every
bear they kill. New Hampshire pays SO
much for each pair of cars, while Maine
keeps tally by the nose. 1t is not likely
that the bear hunters in question are
much struck with the arguments of those
who urge that there should be uniform
legislation upon a matter of this kind.

If Christ had appeared at daybreak

especial sympathy fer the attluent. II
Christ had appeared with soldiers sash

would have seemed to imply especial
