DROFIT ON
FIVE-CENT DINNERS

If you were a capitalist and some one
suggested to you that you could make a
profit by giving substantial dinners at
hye cents apiece you would probably
laugh at him. The idea of making any
thing cut Of a nickel meal seems almost
ridiculous.
But you can easily convince yourself
that this is possible, for 1t Is being done
every day in Philadelphia
Out at the Boys Evening home, on
Van Peit street. you can see a crowd of
men and boys eating a good substantial
meal paying from five to seven or eight
cents and then adJourning to the next
room to snake and play pool or checkers.
The scheme was first put in operation
In November, 1898. People doubted and
even scoffed, but Mrs. Robinson, who
was the leading spirit, perseyered as only
one in great earnest can DO.
At first, before they had got down to q
solid working basis, there was a deficit
each month, but at one of the meetings
of the board of managers about q year
ago the treasurer's report showed a profit
of one cent.
1t was a distinct triumph. One of the
managers Immediately rose and moved
that a dividend be declared.
Since then, month by month, the profit
has grown until the books of a recent
month showed that the total receipts
were $S7. "a over expenditures.
This, perhaps, would be easy to accom-
piish If cheap food were bought But
everything is of the best quality and the
cooking and service are excellent.
Five cents buys a heaping plate of
beef stew or some other meat. a vege-
table, coffee and bread. Butter is one
cent, cakes one cent, stewed tomatoes
three cents and pie three cents. The
bill OF fare always includes some meat
besides the stew, and on Fridays fish

1T was then II o'clock at night. Not

weekly train service west Of Fargo in the
summer time, and none at all In the win

Operator Carnahan Story
How Tale Massacre Was Received and Transmitted.

Probably the most startling piece Of
news that was ever sent out into the
world was the announcement of the mas
sacre Of Gen. Custer and his command
in 1876 The terrible news brought a feel
ing Of sickening horror to the heart of
every man who had read it or Who heard
it. There were friends and relatives of
the murdered men in all parts of the ma
ton, and the gallant commander was
himself national hero. For two days
the nation waited breathlessly for infor-
nation regarding the disaster additional
to the brief general announcement of the
calamity that had been sent out as soon
as the news was known in Bismarck, n.
D., which was then the extreme north
western Office Of the telegraph company.
That first message was brief one, but,
after all, it told the whole story.
That message was a bit Of wire talk

morning of July 5. 1876. and it said: 'sAII

Some OF the practical applications OF

tees another helpful form Of relief in
buying all the products of the told of all
who can work at prices sufficient to sup

AS many as possible Of the remaining

nations. which practically means only
America, devolves upon missionaries
With Bombay as headquarters, relief

stations in the famine area
Besides the millions of Mahometans and
HinduS, known in common vernacular as
heathens, the missionaries report that
fully $4,000 Christian people are also in
urgent need The Methodists report H.
coo Christians within their lines alone.
The Hindus and Mahometans who thus
turned Christians had to be content with
ostraeisn from their own people, and
thus these people who have accepted
Christianity have double claim upon
us-the claim of brotherhood added to
the claim of common humanity.
