Reflections of a Bachelor.


A woman has two great missions in
hfe-frst to get into society, and
secondly, to keep others out.
Every morning that woman gets up
she has sneaking idea that this is the
day some great romance will come into
her life.
II every girl who thinks she knows
how to play the piano knew how to
cook, the divorce lawyers would go into
some other business.
Next to finding out a scandal in her
neighbors life, a woman's highest ex-
element is trying to keep her neighbor
from finding out the scandal in hers.
What woman admires in a man is
the way he can get a telegram without
wanting to faint.
It's very remarkable what a fine
time married men seem to think they
are having when they are away on a
business trip.
A man would a darn sight rather pay
for the Christmas presents his wife
gives him than to have her buy his
cigars and pay for them herself.-New
York Press.

Frontier Life in Chicago.

In it's desperate energy to become the
center of American industry, trans
portation. literature, art. culture and
education, Chicago has neglected Il few
things which circumstances are now
compelling it to attend to. The work
of thugs and thieves in that city has
become so open and so general of late.
and so many good citizens have been
assaulted and robbed in the streets. by
day and by night that the leading bust
ness and professional men of the city
have organized an Anti-Crme Com
mittee, which is agitating reform in the
breezy way. characteristic of all Windy
city doinss. These good men are
worried both over the morals of their
city and their own personal safety and
they feel that the time has come for
drastic measures. The recent criminal
extremes to which the strikers, of that
city, have resorted, have brought mat
tiers to climax, and this committee
has recently been holding public meet
ings, and by means of these and
through the Chicago newspapers has
demanded in emphatic tones that the
city officials be more alive to their
duty in protecting life and property.
even if they have to call on the United
States army to help in the work. AT
one of these meetings recently, lead
ing member of the committee advocated
the following measures of reform and
precaution to be applied by citizens

1t is not often. that Uncle Sam in
tentionally gives something for no
thing. A instance where he has been
doing so for many years has just come
to light in Massachusetts, and by the
discovery, he will hereafter save 81 a
year. 1t seems that the government
has been paying this sum yearly to a
Nantucket fisherman for looking after
Bug Light on that island. The light
itself was discontinued 20 years ago,
but it suited the fancy of Mr.. Cieve-
land, who was a visitor to the island
while ne was President to put the old
fisherman on the government salary
list, iii order that he might enjoy the
comforts which the light house pro-
perry would afford him in the way of
home for himself and family. But the
unfeeing government has torn down
the remnants of the house, and disposed
of the light house property, and the old
fisherman will lose his salary along
with his domicile.

resolution has been adopted by tn

A resolution has been adopted by the
ertral Federated Union at New York,
to call a mass meeting for the purpose
of protesting against the deportation
of John Turner, an English anarchist,
who is now held at Ellis Island. All
central labor unions in the country are
to be appealed to for support in the
matter and will be asked to aid in an
effort to secure the repeal of the law
under which Turner is being held up
by the immigration officials. Delegates.
who addressed the meeting, declared
that the law in it's present form, has
the opposite effect of that desired.

personally, regardless of the activity
or inactivity of the city officials:
Don't carry much money. Pay by
check. Wipe out the law against
carrying concealed weapons and let
every person carry weapon. Organ
iZe shooting clubs just as you organize
golf clubs. Walk in the middle of the
road, and if you see two men approach
ing together don't go between them.
Have a curfew for boys under fifteen
and have more men teachers in the
schools. Revoke the licenses of saloon
keepers who sell liquor to minors
If this sort of advice is needed in the
great western metropolis, it can only
indicate that that city is still on the
frontier as regards civilization. If
these recommendations, by leading
and level-headed merchant of the city,
are necessary, and law-abiding citizens
of Chicago are urged to go about their
business with rifles in their hands,
Chicago has some distance to travel
before it overtakes the greet cities Of
the effete East which it has been pro-
Tossing to leave behind. Chicago has
just given a week to a celebration Of
the centennial CT the establishment of
Fort Dearborn where the city now
stands, but for the pioneers at that
then remote outpost in the Indian
country life was doubtless one grand
sweet song of peace in comparison with
the life led by the goth century Chicago
citizen.
