The man who crawls up in the
world from the backs of his lowly
neighbors, and then turns and

man who would still bow at the
feet of those above him, and bare
his head for them to expectorate

4 Chicago man deliberately
broke his leg in order to escape ar
rest. This will make suggestive
text for the provincial press. The
photographers will Of course fail to
see in this fact the natural sensi-
tiveness Of the average Chicagoan

his personal honor. AS a people
we would rather break our legs
any time than suffer humiliation
at the hands of a policeman. -

Gov. Roosevelt seems to be max
ing some queer appointments. The
new inspector of gas meters has
complained to the governor that he
hasn't enough to do. 1t is almost
a wonder that the walls of the
Albany state house didn't totter to
their foundations to hear a state
official making so preposterous
complaint. Pioneer Press.

THE Prison MIRROR, published
weekly by the gentlemen confined
in Saltwater, Mimi. for being born
at an unlucky hour. is the most
entertaining periodical we have.
1t drives away the blues, kills that
tired feeling and makes us wish
we were having our board free.
The editor has many advantages
which the outside world does not
enjoy, he can say what he pleases
editorially and not be afraid of be-
ing sued for libel. If we only had
such a chance. "Oh. Mr.. johnson.
turn us loose" guarantee us the

hades, he had a round trip ticket
and couldn't sell the return trip
when he got there.
1t is generally conceded at

the pocketbook or ability to get
some ones else. - Minneapolis

Society is a word that troubles
some people. Society is a very
uncertain quantity. Every man
on earth is in society - and he
helps to make, to elevate or to
lower the society of which he is
part. Some people talk of society
as though it was confined within
some limited radius and that tick
cts Of admission were issued only
to a selected few. That is utter
nonsense.-Elgin ILL., Every Sa-
turday.
