JEALOUSY AMONG MINERS.

It Has Led to Fixed Rule In Building
Their Homes..
In the new mining towns in the coal
fields Of eastern Illinois stand many
long rows of little houses, all in each
town exactly alike, the same size, same
color, facing the same direction. Why
all the houses in each town are as much
alike as peas, the outsider is always
puzzled to know. He makes many
guesses IL he is curious person, bat he
never guesses correctly, and unless
some mine owner Is laxative enough
to tell of former experiences in building
miners homes the outsider will remain
ignorant on the subject.
Although to outsiders there appears
to be no reason, unless it be that of
cheapness, for having all the dwellings
exactly alike, there Is a reason, and
good one, too. The envy existing
among miners living in the poorer
homes for the larger and better built
cottages forced the mine owners to
adopt the "every-house-alike" plan. If
a mine owner now wants to build fifty
houses he has plans made for one, and
every building is built upon those plans.
If one has a cellar beneath it, all
must have cellars. If one has glass
front door, all must have glass-front
doors. And after the houses are built
and occupied no miner is permitted to
add porch or walk, or to paint his
house different color FROM that Of all
the low cottages in the long rows.
Until the founding of the newer
towns the builders paid little heed to
the kind of houses they erected for the
miners. Most of the habitations were
mere huts Of two or three rooms. The
houses were set on the hills around the
mining shafts, or ranged in rows near
a creek, Or spring, where there was
plenty Of water. Some Of the houses
were a little better than others.
There came about feuds between the
families of miners living in four-room
houses and those who had to live
in a two-room hut. The situation at
last grew SO serious that the mine own
ers were forced to build all the houses
around the new mines after one pat
tern. 1t solved the problem, and put
an end to the quarrels between the fam
lilies of the miners. Formerly the bet
ter houses were often burned, but since
the adoption Of the new plan there has
been peace.

WHERE CHARITY BEGINS.
Wise Bros, the Portland Dentists, Say
"HeIp Thyself."

Wise Bros, the Portland Dentists, Say
"HeIp Thyself."
In many ways the dentist is your
best friend.
He helps you when your teeth are
tined. When your teeth wear out and
break down he steps in and braces them
up, puts new life into them, and makes
them efficient. Your success in life,
your feelings, whether of contentment
or worry, greatly depend upon how
your nourishment agrees with you. LIS
it not certainty that your food will do
you little good If your teeth are unable
to perform their rightful work? To say
nothing of the advantage OF having a
good looking set of teeth (than which
nothing is more effe ;tively attractive)
it is more comfortable, and absolutely
indispensable to health, happiness and
success, to have set of teeth that are
capable of being used.
Why delay a minute?
There ia no pain connected with
having your teeth put in perfect order.
There is no pain in getting an entire
new set of teeth, which cannot be told
from natural ones. Wise Brothers, IL
the Failing Building Portland, Oregon,
are making scores of people happy
every day, by sending them away with
as good set of teeth as nature ever put
into mans or a woman's head. The
cost of their work is extremely mod
crate.
There is little excuse for anyone,
now-a- days, neglecting their teeth.
Teeth are extracted absolutely without
pain, and the expense of starting new
in life, with a sound set of teeth, is
slight. Charity begins at home, and
all persons having regard for their own
welfare should go Immediately and con-
suit such eminent modern dentists as
Wise Brothers.

ODD EYEGLASSES.

The eyeglasses herewith illustrated
are the invention Of a famous French
oculist. Naturally all sorts of things
are claimed for them, but those who
ought to know declare that they will
really correct astigmatism. They say,
too, that the reflections of objects in
the rear of the wearer, which are so
annoying, are entirely done away with
by these new eyeglasses. Whether or
not this be true, it is certain that
many manufacturers are already COM
ing around as close to the shape as
they dare. 1t must be conceded that
these glasses attract attention to the
wearer, and for that reason alone they
should be immensely popular with the
Forr Hundred.

An Old Maids Philosophy.

We may be better after suffering,
and we may be worse, but our condi-
tions must depend upon ourselves, and
should never be laid to the nature OF
our calamities.-From "My Old Maid e
Corner" The Century, March, 1908.
The only sorrow worth anything in
this world is sorrow for others, and
sorrow for others means helping others,
not hugging our woes to ourselves
From "My Old Maids Corner" The
Century, March, 1908.
To me it had seemed that those who
occupied centers of affection should be
less concerned with what came to them
as their due, than with what went out
from them as their obligation; that,
like the sun itself, they should be CEN
ters of centrifugal forces, radiating,
through the very fullness of their joy,
light and gladness in.o other lives.-
From "My Old Maids Corner" The
Century, January, 1908.
