Train ON FIRE.
Defective Wiring Creates a
Panic on an "L" Train.

Chicago. May 30.-One hundred pas
sengers on a Northwestern elevated
train were thrown into a panic last
night when defective wiring set fire to
the smoking car at Franklin and Super
ior streets The passengers were thrown
from their seats and the occupants Of
the smoker rushed for the door. It
was with the greatest difficulty that
some were restrained from leaping to
the ground. That no one was seriously
injured is due in great measure, to the
coo1ness of l. J. Lanpher, the motor
man. Lanpher shut down his power
prom pity and ran to the smoker, where
he actually had to beat two men down
off the rail of the platform before he
could persuade them not to jump.
By this time the whole front end of
the train was in flames. The blaze was
quickly extinguished

Life is such a serious business
to the average mortal that an op-
portunity for a hearty laugh is
more than welcome to most people.
"A merry heart doeth good like a.
medicine and SO do the humorous
features Of that great metropolitan
daily, the Chicago Record Herald.
The first thing that greets you on
the first page of every issue is the
humorous cartoon by John T.
McCutcheon, the we'll known art
list, that frequently tells more at
glance than could be conveyed in
column of reading matter. Every
issue contains also a humorous
small story on the editorial page
and the alternating Currents
column written by s. E. Kiser, one
of the most popular humorists in
the country. In addition to all
these, the Sunday issue always
includes comic section, guaran-
teed to produce laughter.

The Love Of Novelty.

The restless unquiet of our pres
ent nervous age demands, in what
ever may engage it's attention, no
feature so much as novelty. We
are ever eagerly asking for the in
toxication of some new thing. The
little child soon wearies with the
twirling of his top or the tinkling
OF his rattle, and the mothers in
genuity can scarcely satisfy his
eager cries for some new baby
treasure.
Youth restlessly waits the pater-
nal blessing, and with impatient
good-by kisses, leaves the rich
home love that would have shield
ed him SO warmly for some new
toy to play with-some new lands
to see or some new work to do.
And man, his baby heart still liv-
ing, tires of the playthings and
the drudgery of his daily common
life; and when the world has all
grown dull and trite to him he
shuts his eyes and dreams of novel
things Utopian schemes for
earth's regeneration, sweet lands
of Beulah, or, perhaps, he thinks
out some new arrangement into
system of all our human knowl-
edge, some startling theory or in
vention. Not only novelties in
ones individual experience are
sought, but for their own sake we
relish them anywhere they may
be recognized, tho they may affect
very slightly, if at all, ourselves.
The whole wide world is waiting
constantly, with eager, impatient
ears, for latest news.
This love of novelty is the nat
ural attendant Of fresh, young
life, and is far better than a stupid
assent to whatever may be found
existing, either in physical condi-
ton or in the world Of thought.
It is the eloquently pleading voice.
of the increasing soul for food

hood. It is The inspiration Of adj
venture, and from It's proud dis
content are born some Of our most
heroic efforts some Of our most
glorious achievements.
Thisdisposition; we have noticed,
may be traced in almost all the
literary productions Of the age.
Illustrations all about us teach
that truth which should be SO
sacred to u.s., and whose study
should be loved for its own ex-
ceeding great reward. is often
servilely sacrificed to the love of
novelty. The desire of producing
something new and startling makes
many persons untrue to their own
convictions. They try to indicate
some position which in reality is
not their own, simply because they
think that by some ingenious, sub
tile fallacy they may apparently
prove some original and startling
assertion. In the wondering,
frightened stare Of the calmer,
graver, and. to them, more stupid
world they think they find an
ample recompense for the life they
have poured into their work Life
which, expended in the same earn
est yet more sacred toiling, might
have safely covered, for the tremb-
ling feet of their more sacred
brothers, many a deep and fearful
chasm in their earthly journey.
Even ministers Of Christ too often
feel compelled to yield to the con-
slant and imperative demands Of
their audience for something new
and startling, and they replace the
simple and earnest messages God
gave them by curious disquisitions
of wild and transcendental theories.
Too often, in this thirsty desire for
a new and gaudy dress for truth,
they sell truth itself to gain it. =

ager replied: eff we did not keep
our goods constantly before the
public.eye in catchy manner, the
public would forget all about buy
ing crackers and ginger snaps,
and what is worse they would not
miss them either Now while /
think he made his point pretty
strong. there is no doubt that by
advertising they increase their
sales at least one half.
Advertising as it is carried on
today is a splendid thing, not only
to those who have goods to buy or
sell, but it gives employment to a
number of wage earners Every
business house and newspaper
Office Of any pretentions have their
ad. writer's and the majority Of
them receive large salaries. Then
comes the printers, photographers,
sign painters and bill posters, to
say nothing of the sandwich men.
It is also of great benefit to wage
earners other than those to whom
it gives employment, for by the
large amount Of advertising done
in the magazines. newspapers, and
periodicals, publishers have been
able to reduce the selling price of
their publications to almost Moth
ing Magazines have descended
lin price from IS cents per copy to
10 cents, and most daily papers
from 5 cents to / cent. Such low
rates do not cover the cost of the
blank paper, and it would hardly
be surprising if in time daily
papers were given away. Thus, no
matter how poor man may be or
