An old woman, scantily clad, saws the
New York Times, stood at the corner of
Fifth avenue and Twenty-third street
yesterday afternoon. In one arm she
clasped tightly a large bunch of peacock
feathers, and with the other she held out
one feather in front of the many shop
keepers, beseeching them in unintelligible
words to buy. For couple of hours she
waved her wares without finding a buyer,

carrying the dust of the streets into the
eyes Of the pedestrians and curling
around the corners of the building, max
ing little whirling rings that formed into
clouds and disappeared. "Buya buya
feather. Only cents" begged the old
woman.
The crowd passed on heedlessly, the
men holding their hats while the women
tried to keep in place the locks of hair
winch the wind caused to stray from the
pompadour rolls.
"Buya feather" the old woman con-
tinued to plead.
Suddenly gust of wind that seemed to
come from all four directions enveloped
the woman in its vortex. The bundle of
feathers rose in the air with the quick
ness of an inflated balloon suddenly re-
leased, and, separating, disappeared over
the top of the neighboring buildings, and
the trees of Madison Square Park, where
occasionally one could be seen high up in
the air like miniature rainbow in the
afternoon sun. A score of newsboys
chased those that fell near, and they, too.
disappeared, leaving the old woman wall
ing on the street and gesticulating i'm
ploringly toward heaven.
Santa Maria" she cried, my fatha
my fatha, gone"
A sympathetic crowd gathered about
her. A cab stopped by the sidewalk, and
an elegantly-gowned woman alighted,
pressed a greenback into the hand of the
old woman stepped into her carriage, and
was driven off rapidly. Her charitable
example was quickly followed by many
in the crowd, and nickels and dimes were
showered on the weeping woman, enough
to buy and raise whole flock of live
peacocks. The old woman disappeared in
the crowd, while the philanthropists con-
tinued on their respective ways, with the
satisfied looks and happy feelings that
one has after doing charitable act.

fair with a cynical expression on his

''Um." replied the hluecoat.
"If 1t hadn't been for the charity Of

"Oh, cheese It," said the policeman:
"she does that every day there's high

painting is the largest enamel portrait in
existence, and was only successfully COM
pleted at the cost of much patient labor.
Somebody the other day in the hear
ing Of Senator Hoar. was lavishing praise
on Senator Wolcott of Colorado. The
Massachusetts man does not think such
great deal Of the Western man and af-
ter listening for a time he ventured the
opinion that "Mr. Wolcott explodes like
Vesuvius, only with all the gas and none
of the lava"
Professor TAFT. who has just resigned

dogmatic at times. On one occasion he
demonstrated to his own entire satisfac-
tion that a golf ball could only be driven
a certain distance few days later his
own club sent ball some thirty yards
further and the professor was compelled
to reverse his decision.
An inventory of the late King Milan's
furniture was taken the other day in an
establishment near Neuilly, where it has
been warehoused. Among the articles
found in one of the drawers was a bulky
manuscript containing the ex-King's
memoirs. These will be left for valuation
with a Paris publisher, and may help to
pay a portion of the royal spendthrift' s
debt. AT first sight they are said to be
interesting, and reveal, among other
things, that the father of Alexander I
was an advocate of Balkan confeder-
alton.

She Wives Her Drinks.

A little girl on the West Side startled
her parents the other day by her dis
play of knowledge regarding food and
drink, says the Cleveland Leader.
1t seems that she had been in the habit
of alternately taking a mouthful food and
a drink of water or tea She did this with
such expediency that ordinarily she had
finished her meal and was away from the
table before her elders Were half through.
Her parents demonstrated with her, she
being informed that il was not nice to
eat so fast and that it was very wrong
for her to punctuate her mouthfuls IF
food with drinks of water.
The climax was reached when a few
evenings ago, she followed out her usual
plan of alternating water and food while
eating soup. The patience of the pater-
nal head of the family was exhausted
With as much sternness as he could mus
ter he said: Edith, it is wrong to drink
water while eating soup. They don't go
well together at ALL"
Papa" returned the little one, not at
all abashed, Il don't eat SOUP 1 drinks

CENsoRING ADvERTIsEMENTs.

A bill introduced in the Illinois Legisla-
ture the other day provides that it shall
be unlawful to publish in that state ad-
vertisements that are erroneous or mis-
leading in their language; that persons
who wrongly describe IN advertisements
articles which they offer for sale shall
be deemed guilty of a misdemeanor and
punished accordingly, and that the Gov
ernor shall appoint, at a salary OF 5000
a year, an advertising censor whose duty
it shall be TO protect the public from mis-
leading advertisements, and bring suit
against those who misrepresent their
goods in printed offers Of bargains or
otherwise.
The proposition would be ridiculous ex-
cept for the fact that a considerable sup
port for it was developed in the House.
The originator of the bill is no doubt
person who feels the need of kindly
supervision by a higher mentality than
his own-one of those persons constantly
afraid of being cheated" and viewing
transpired that there were a number OF
the same class of persons who had broken
into the House of Representatives, They.
were afraid to trust their own judgment
in reading advertisements, and wanted
the state to provide an official TO stand
between them and the advertiser to pre-
vent them from purchasing gold bricks!
To the credit of the intelligence of the
people of Illinois, there is little prospect
that the bill will become a law.
1t reads in the bill that every advertise
ment shall contain only true statements.
How would the censor be able to say,
upon his oath, whether a "stupendous
sacrifice sale was what il was repre-
scented to be or not? The owner of the
goods might regard the reduction in the
price of the goods as "stupendous sac
rifice," whether or not the dictionary bore
out his Interpretation of the adjective.
From the point of view of the storekeep-
err the Characterization might be correct,
whether it so appealed to the censor or
not. The unique Offer would also prove
a stumbling block. Unique according
to the dictionary means the only one Of
would mean merely out of the ordinary.
If the censor were 40 make a case on
such grounds he would be laughed at,
yet if he did not he would fail to enforce
the letter of the law And then there is
the theater and the circus advertising;
that would simply be under the ban. with
out hope of redemption. All such adver-
Using Is VIGOROUSLY f1orid and beyond
straight-laced truth, Nevertheless it does
not fool many persons. 1t is regarded as
a matter of course. The sensible thing
to do is to let the advertisers alone. Pub
lie opinion viii be its own censor. The
advertising fakir will work his own de-
struction. The people are not fools
Neither do they need publid official con-
stantly standing guard over them. They
are perfectly competent to take care of
themselves, and it may be depended upon
that If they are newspaper readers they
will buy no gold bricks.

A HyEienic Home.
From the Puritan.

FROM lHe IuTlldH.
My wife and are trying hard
To live on healthful diet;
We read the food chart by the yard,
And run our kitchen by it;
We've banished from our bills of fare
All that such guides condemn;
True hygiene is all our care.
AS planned and taught by them.
For breakfast, coffee is tabooed.
Hot cakes and eggs forbidden.
And milk, since II is oft imbued
With germs profuse, though hidden;
Bread is unwholesome, so is steak:
Submissive to our lot,
Oatmeal and graham gems we take,
And drink boiled water, hot.
For dinner. soup will never do,
And oysters typhoid nourish;
Salads, entrees and ices, too.
Are mere dyspeptic flourish;
Potatoes (by the last advice
Are poisonous, we're told
We eat rare meat, chopped fine, with rice.
And drink boiled water cold.
For supper-some professors teach
Ills best to go without IL,
But since discretion's left 10 each,
We take our choice about Il;
On chicken. wafiles tea and cake,
We are forbid to feed;
But gluten waters. cocoa (weal),
And prunes are all we need.
IL grieves us much our friends TO view
So reckless in their diet;
Our wholesome menu We pursue
And beg OF them 90 try n;
But appetlte's ungodly sway
Their nature so enthralls
We cannot set guest TO stay

THE THEFTs or A CENTURY.

The amount of money stolen from the
federal government during the century
recently ended by dishonest officials and
agents closely approximates $l6OOO,OO0. Dur
ing that period the money handled by Off
Gals and agents amounted to nearly $685.
OOO,0O0,0o0. The percentage of losses
through dishonesty, therefore, has been
comparatively small. Money stolen from the
government is not always lost to it. Far
from it. Federal employees handling funds
are bonded. In cases where the bonds
prove to be worthless a careful memoran-
dunn is kept, and it often occurs that in
later years an opportunity for collecting
presents itself. Debts to the government.
especially those arising from defalcations.
are never outlawed by limitation. During
the last two years the government has
ers that has been due for shortages in
accounts as much as forty years. It is
said that in number of instances men
who were in debt to the government en-
listed in the volunteer army for the war
with Spain. When payday came around,
got only receipts for the amounts of their
pay applied to their debts. Some of the
volunteer officers resigned when they
found how things were going; but it is
told of one volunteer major that he served
during the continuance of the war with
out drawing more than his subsistence al
lowance, his entire salary being applied
10 he nicbr, Of
the government because he had been on
the bond of a defaulting official many
years ago.
During the first twenty years of the
life of the government, it is noted by the
Washington correspondent of the New
York Tribune, there was not a defalca-
ton in the public service. Every Official
was honest. But that sort of thing was
too ideal to continue. In 1920 stealing
began to attract attention, and it
has been going on ever since.
1t is relatively less now, however,
than heretofore, since the government is
discouraging the individual bond and en-
couraging bonding corporations organized
for that specific purpose. The official
who has a corporation on his bond knows
full well that If he does wrong he will
receive no mercy, but will be relentlessly
pursued and forced to suffer full penalty
Of the law. That tends to make him more
careful, If he is inclined to help himself
to funds which do not belong to him.
The best EZRA of good stealing" was in
the decade between 1860 and 1870, embrac-
ing the period of the war between the
states. The opportunities for peculation
were then abundant, and they seem TO
have been well worked. Furnishing and
administering war supplies left open
many loopholes through which dishonest
persons could crawl-and there was lots
Of crawling.
The Postofiice Department, it is said,
has been the most opulent field for the
defaulter. From 1890 TO 1880 shortages on
the part OF postmasters or employees were
Of frequent occurrence. Since the latter
year a rigid system OF inspection and
! bookkeeping has greatly reduced the
number OF defalcatons The internal
revenue service handles more mcaoy
than any other single branch OF the gov
SrnmenG notwithstanding which Il IL q
