4 BUSINESS VENTURE.

4 sign hanging above . little shop
told the world Of Hayside that Miss
Jane Dody. milliner. had started In
business.
Until this sign appeared Haysiders
had been Obliged to drive to Nesburg
or send to the city for their millinery
and having formed the habit it was q
question whether they would break 1t
and patronize the new establishment.
Miss Jane did not know many towl
people, for she had lived in the coun-
try with an old aunt, who had lately
died. leaving her a legacy Of $500. 1t
was q small capital. but being entirely
dependent on her own exertions Miss
Jane decided to start . millinery shop.
She was old enough to decide for her
self, being almost 40. but she was q
timid woman and thought 1t better to
ask Mr.. Hopes advice first. Mr..
Hope was president Of the bank. an old
friend of her aunt's and much admired
and respected by herself. He was just
entering his seventies. but many
man Of so envied his vitality and
youthfulness Of feeling. He was q
widower and lived alone in the great
house" Of the village, where he dis
pensed hospitality and charity with
an open hand. Rich. influential and
busy, he yet had time to listen to any
tale Of distress or give advice when
requested. Mr.. Hope had always liked
little Miss Jane and was more than
willing to listen to her plans and help
her all he could. She was shown into
his private Office at the bank. blushing
like one of the roses she held in her
hands and making quite a pretty pic
ture.
II have $500, you know. Mr.. Hope.
Would you advise me to start millin-
cry shop with 1t or save it and 90 to
the city to get employment" she
asked.
Mr.. Hope knew how difficult it would
be for a woman like Miss Jane, un-
trained and timid, to get work in the
city, and quickly told her 1t would be
best to try the shop and he was sure
she would get on well.
Bring on the best goods you can
get and you will be sure to succeed.
Everybody will buy from you. don't
wear bonnets myself" he added. laugh
Ing. "but I'll send all my friends to
you"
At the close Of this interview the
prospective milliner left the banker
with q light heart and had visions Of
. little shop expanding In time to q
great establishment. where she her
self was mistress Of great army or
assistants.
In a short while the new store w&s
opened to the public, its owner having
stocked up in the city and bought a
small but handsome line Of goods to

cHICAcos COSTLY PROBLEM.


Abous oSo. 900 .ooe Nay De Needed 1eR
the Casal
CHICAGO. July 1.-The cost and
complications of tho Chicago drainage
canal CO utinue to grow with each tour
of inspection or report Already more
than $50. 0o0, 900 is represented in the
ditch that is to make Lake Michigan
a source Of pure water supply for tho
city, and now At least $5t, ,OOO, 900 more
may have to be put into the canal
Eminent authorities Of the Society
of Western Engineers who have given
the progress of the drainage channel
close study feel that the expenditure
of So. 900. 600 upon the work-the to-
tai expended to the date of opening
of the channel-only marks tho COM
mencement Of the expenditure Of at
least $50. 0OC. 90 more by the gem
eral government and the state Of
Illinois toward making the river
and the channel complete waterway,
one which will not create perpetual
damage suits against the sanitary dis
trict and will satisfactorily dispose Of
all the water and waste emanating
from the city Of Chicago and every
community upon the banks of the two
streams of water.
Already the inland cities south Of
Chicago have begun making tests Of
the character of the water in the Illi.
nois river for the purpose Of making
similar tests after the drainage chan.
mel discharges into it From the two
tests they will determine no n impure.
if at all, the river water is made by
the sewage discharged from Chicago.
This is the sanitary side of the ques-
ton.
There is also the side of determining
how much overflow. if any, the cham
mel will cause in the river, what lands
will be submerged, what damage will
be caused, what claims there may be
against tho sanitary district. Issues
such as these. now that the canal is
almost completed, have brought the
residents of the valley and the sani.
tary district trustees to a point where
mutual agreement and action would
make tho difficulties vastly easier Of
solution.

UNcANNY FIGURES.

There Is something uncanny about
figures. They possess marvellous prop
critics which, though perfectly we'll
known, are nevertheless Incompetence
sible. Every one knows that II you
multiply 81 by 3 or any multiple Of 3
up to q the result is that all three
digits are the same.
All thes strange properties possessed
by figures are recognized phenomena;
which are to be accepted rather than;
explained. But when we get to the!
rather more involved mathematical
calculations the uncanniness of hg3
ures is further involved. Take, for,
instance, the familiar puzzle. which,
is easily explained by the mathemati-l
clan, but causes bewilderment to thel
typo in figures.
Two men have 60 oranges each. The
first seels half at two a penny and half,
at three penny. Let us work out the
sum. Thirty sold at two a penny BRING
him in Is pence; 30 at three a penny;
fetch 10 pence; total, 25 pence. The
second sells all his 60 at the rate Of
five for twopence. There are IL SETS
of five in 60; hence he receives II two-l
pence, or "a pence.
Apparently both men sell at the
same rate-they do not do so really
and one receives one penny more than
the other Verify, there is something
extremely uncanny about figures.

BILL FOR FUNDING
The CITY'S DEBT
Will Be Introdl cd in the Leg
iSIature Today
TWO MORE OFFICES CREATED
Commissioners Who, With Mayor, Will
Negotiate With Bondholders for
the Refunding of the Debt in
Whole or in Part.

Alderman ]. j. Altman left yesterday
morning for Montgomery to aid in further
ing the city's legislation before the general
assembly. He carried with him bill which
empowers the city to fund its bonded debt
in whole or in part.
The bill also provides that the city may
fund it's unpaid interest debt under the
Steiner plan, which by the LIST of August
will amount to something more than $780,
00o The bill will in all probability be intro
duced In the Legislature today.
Provides Two Commissioners
The bill provides that hereafter the board
OF aldermen shall elect two men, who, with
the mayor as ex-officio member, Will
constitute board of commissioners whose
duty it shall be to ascertain who are the
holders of the bonds and unpaid coupons
and negotiate with such holders for a re-
funding of the Indebtedness of the city,
including the ~onded Indebtedness as well
as the unpaid interest. These commission
ers shall be required to make report in
writing to the board of aldermen, and no
agreement will be binding until ratified by
this body.
The term Of office of the commissioners is
fixeA at two years, unless their duties
should end sooner, and the matter Of salary
is left with the board of aldermen. There
was an effort at the last meeting of the
council to have these commissioners select
ed at once, but the matter was postponed.
Would Save 100000
The present rate of interest on the bonds
is from to per cent, and by funding the
debt at per cent. the city will be saved
something like $4,000 annually. Colonel Alt
man thinks this can be done.
The rate must be lower than the present
rate, and every safeguard is thrown around
the measure for the protection of the city.
When new bonds are exchanged for the old
the latter must be at once cancelled and
destroyed.
