Mr.. Simons, who lately passed
through n period of critical Illness, Is
now convalescent. although still unable
to leave the hospital.
His friends come occasionally to
bring fruit and flowers, and he Is plen-
tlfully supplied with reading matter

Chicago men are failures as patients.
They are unwilling to Ne back and
wait in ideness for slow recovery.
Every disease Is complicated by worry
over an enforced absence from busi-
ness. Some patients may find an oe-
cupaton In counting the spots ON the
wall paper, but Mr. Slmons was not
that kind of patient, and, besides, there
was no wall paper at the hospital.
While he was frettlng over lack of
entertainment friend thought of the
phonograph Mr.. Slmons was moved
into private room at the hospital and
phonograph with n megnphone AT
tachment was put to work for his ben
eft. SO
He would lie there for hours at n time
and listen to brass bands, comic ORA
tors and vaudeville singers, and, al
though he would have preferred a real
performance In Il theater, he enjoyed
the entertainment very much.
Ont of Simons' friends gave a dinner
party and he received an invitation, al
though it was known. of course, that
he could not attend. But the convales-
cent was not to be robbed of all the
fun. He sent photograph to the din
ner party and had the stories, the laugh
ter and the music recorded on the cyl
inder and he got them all secondhand
next day.
Then he had a phonograph sent to
his office next day, and it took the
street noises and the talk of his em-
ployes, and when he heard these he
was homesick for the roar of wheels on
the granite blocks.
This suggests the story, which is not
youched for. of the man who had lived
at lake front hotel for several years
and had been lulled to sleep every
night by the rattle of wheels, the putt
ing of engines and the footing of whis-
ties along the Illinois Central Railroad
| tracks.
He left the hotel and moved to a
northern suburb, where the silence ut
night was so dense that it could be felt.
He found that he could not go to
sleep. The deathly absence Of noise
caused a dull ringing in his ears and
he would lie in nervous dread, fearing
any sound, and yet hoping for some
break in the prolonged stiffness.
At last he concluded that he would
have to move back to the hotel and be
soothed by the rumbling trains \
friend suggested the phonograph.
SO he had several cylinders loaded up
with whistles, puffs, bell-ringing and
other Illinois Central noises. and every
night after he retired his hired man
would put these records into the
phonoeraph and he would fall asleep
with the old loved sounds in his ears,
This may not be n true story, but it
suggests new use for the photograph,

1t is announced that the leading color
ed men of Mississippi have organized
into a taxpayers association for the
purpose of inducing our men to pay their
taxes. The resolutions adopted declare
that it is a public injustice that any class
of people should seek to escape fulfill
ment of any obligation justly due from
<hem; that the poll tax requirement is
. sonable and just, and all male Ne
giA-s stop the habit of evading the tax,
thereby bringing reproach upon the race
