Chicago was the first of the
worlds great cities to inaugurate
the era Of tall buildings reaching
80 high up in the air as to earn the
title Of "skyscrapers, 'and Chicago
was also the first city to place re.
strictions upon the height to which
such buildings might go. Now,
since Chicago has virtually remov-
ed these restrictions, there is re.
awakening of activity in the con.
'truclion Of tall buildings with a
prospect that most imposing of
those already in existence will be
eclipsed by some that are soon to
be built.

The Washington Post explains
just how poker is played without
cards or chips. Sporty congress.
men have discovered a new way Of
gambling, says the Post: They
match dollar bills and the bill
which has the largest array of fig.
ures, measured according to the
poker standard, takes the pot.
Thus, supposing one Congressman
has a bill which Is numbered 1903.
1892. He wins over a bill which
is numbered 279724GS, because he
has three threes as against two
pairs" 1t would seem that the
game is not limited to congressman
and that it can be played on the
streets or most any old place.

Un can6nigo de presa

Ell canonigo Rosenberg, que acaba de ser
arrestado como complice de una estafa monu-
mental, es una fgura que parece escapada de

lente amigo Guinandear, que le trato en- otro
tempo, lie conSidera como el tipo mas perfecto
del ''sacerdote de negocios', asi 10 describe,
sin decir Sl nonlbre, en- I'm libro tan admirable
como deSconOcdo lie Saint NiSage
Con TN aspec:o de austeridad humilde. el
can6nigo llevaba una vida daboica. Las fa-
milias aristocraticas 10 recban, 10 consultaban,
10 nimaban, y creyendo servirSe de &, eran
Sus primeraS victlmas.
Su tinico vicio consistia en- ejercer comer-

hasta la venta de indulgencias, vendi6 de todo

signi6 del Papa una dedicatoria en- I'm ejem-
plar de TN breviario, para una dana que anita
no fue POGO santa por vender, haSta hizo
el comercio misco conlico del 'agua bendita
para curar la calvicie."
Pero su obra maestro fuG 81 escuela de
monarquicos labradores.
-Es necesario -dec1a en- las casas aristo-

todoS sus miembros sean labradores, como 10
eran sus abuelos cuando no guerreaban.
Y al msmo tempo trabajaba por fundar
una granja modelo, que sirviese de escuela
agr{cola blasonada.
Cuando, gracas al dinero de I'M judo pie
beyisimo, la granja Sc establecio, los hijos de
los duques, de los condes de los marqueses
que attn sueflan en- quimericos renacmientos de
las epocas de domination, mandaron ali 4 sus

again he tried it, but it would slip and
throw him. Several times, however, he
came within an inch of reaching the lower
limb, from which he could have easily
climbed up to where l was.
about this time another inmate came
sauntering along and at once took a hand
in the game and held the plank for my
friend, who soon made good Roadway, and
| saw in a few moments he would reach me-.
Il yelled again, but no one came. Il tina

quickly attached the test set and called the

or l am a dead man! There are two luna
ties after me, and one of them is coming
up the tree with a knife a foot long! Hurry,

with a surprised exclamation he cut me
out. l looked down and found the man was
in the tree, and was coming toward me,
s~naTling like a wildcat.
"Closer he came, until he was just below
me, when he seated himself on a large
limb, and, hourishing the knife, yelled:
Look at this. Amt it a beaut? Won't
it cut you, though? 1t is sharp, sharp! l
will cut you up like a steak!'
He started toward me, and had one
hand on my foot, and l had just raised the
other to kick him, when several keepers
rushed up; two of them climbed the tree,
and just as he raised to knife to strike they
reached him and threw a rope around him.

most viyaCious youth showed no more in

day than this old gentleman, nearing the
sunset of life, who, when the American flag
was hoisted from the city hall where the
golden wedding ceremonies were held, was
able to count a descendant for every star
in that proud emblem. Mrs. Schroeder was
at the dance and witnessed the gaiety with
keenest delight, but did not participate.

Christopher Schroeder was born in Kreis
Ploen, Holstein, Germany, March %, 1926,
and Catherine u. Kay was born at the same
place August 3, 1927. Since childhood the
lives of these two have been blended.
Catherine Kay became Mrs. Schroeder No
vember 8, 1852. Only the year before their
union Mr.. Schroeder had returned from
war, where he had served his native coun-
try since 1Si7 in its famous struggle against
