sonic Temple, on one Of the busiest and most

Of recent bold occurrences perpetrated in the
heart of the city in business hours, demonstrates
that Uncle Sam, while safeguarding in a most
autocratic manner the governments interests,
has given little protection to the property of
citizens intrusted to the care and control of his
paid servants While exacting a fixed toll of
charges from the citizen who registers mail
and compelling him to comply with certain rig
orous conditions for doing his business, the gov

The system prevailing by which contractors col

employees who are not bonded. and therefore not
responsible. leaves the public at the mercy of
persons who may pilfer. This has been notably
the case here in Chicago. where robberies of the
mail in the same public manner as on Saturday

wagons which was robbed then has been d

other series of struggles in the park with

Some people keep up their ring riding during
the winter for the pleasure and exercise which
they find therein. The beginner is anxious only
to get into the park and show what he can do.
AT some OF the riding schools they have what
is known as the rough rider class. which meets
one evening week and gives its members no
end OF exercise. business man who was an
indifferent rider. but inclined to be athletic was

riders are in the ajority. They wind around
through the park at steady trot riding in

are accompanied by foreign looking riding mas

especially place the latter under official sur

behind the law is to correct abuses TO con-

hypocritical kindness a cloak for a regular

authorities will see to it that babies taken by
these farms properly cared for, and when
they are adopted that reputable foster parents
