Chicago Times-Herald: Jean de
Reszkc is the only one of the grand
opera singers whom it is impossible to
hire for private musicales. He will
sing an entire evening at the house of
a fellow artist, but becomes positively
angry when singing in private houses
for money is suggested. He once Wis
tied the house of the Ro%thschilds in
Paris, and delighted his host by sing
ing a number Of songs. The baron,
who had tried to get him to sing at pri-
yate entertainments a number of
times, but eve succeeded, now re-
solved to reward the singer in what he
considered the proper way. At the
close of the evening he presented De
Reszke with a blank check, signed,
asking him to fill 1t up for any amount
lie wished. De Reszke took the check
and as he tore it to pieces said:

took your check l should deserve to be

furnished over half n million homes in
Chicago and vicinity alone. This firm
enjoys the confidence of the public by its
many yenrs of fair dealing. 1t issues an
immense illustrated catalogue that should

gives the price of every article required

As for myself, it is very evident thar

history in any BETTER way than by
quoting the words of that prophetic
scene from the Indian Eye which gives
'ns Jacks blissfuf future in a nutshell:
An indetinablc sense of peace and

prayer, and the beautiful fan-haired

"A delicate shower of orange bios
some was falling gently over the

music told of n wedding march,"
OF course Jack joined the army, and
a few days after the wedding l re-
cciycd along letter from him, but the
postscript is all l shall trouble you

at the factory Of the w. L. Douglas Shoe
Company in that city the pay roll for the
week ending Sept. 80, excluding superin-
tendent, foremen, statesmen and nll cler-

Of the employees, large and small, to be
$15.5 per week. This was not an ex-
traordinary week. It was the customary
pay roll.
The Douglas factory has been closed
but one week this year, and that for the
usual summer stock taking, and it will
be closed but three days the latter part
Of December. This would make but nine
days out Of the year that the factory IS
closed.
Owing to increased business another
addition is to be made to the Douglas
factory. 1t will be 100 feet long, 40 feet
wide, and five stories high. This addi-
ton increases the capacity 25 per cent.
