Irishman's Ground for Suit,
From the Kansas City Journal.


Samuel Davis. court stenographer OF the
second circuit says that an 1rishman who'
several years ago. tried to engage the legal
services Of his father. had the oldest
ground for a lawsuit he has ever heard OF.
The Irishman wanted to sue his landlady
for SIS. He explained that he made con-
tract to pay her $3 week for board, but
she was to deduct Is cents for every meal
he missed. Having got the contract duly
signed, Pat began to board elsewhere and
charged the landlady with whom he had
contracted % cents for every meal ne
missed. He figured that by managing this
way he missed $5.25 worth of meals each
week, for which his contract required MIN
to pay only Sc, SO that, by staying away he
made 81. .25 clear. The landlady refused to
pay him his profits and he wanted MT.
Davis to bring suit against her Tor MIN.

be made to live up to her'n as well as me

in town, and some OF them were pretty

NEED OF COOKING SCHOOLS.
Practical instruction in Culinary Art
is What Most Girls Need.

From the Chicago Tribune.
First the diagnosis; second the pre-
scription. A preacher said recently that
one of the greatest causes of privation in
this country was to be found in the waste
fulness of American household manage
ment. The wife OF the American working
man wastes fuel. food and clothing. She
feeds her fire too freely. she prepares her
meals too lavfshly. she dresses herself and
her family too expensvely. In all that she
does there Is unfortunate surplusage
which she throws into the back yard. but
which. If utilized scientifically. would con-
siderably raise her standard of comfort
The truth of this charge against working
men and their wives will be admitted, at
least In part. by labor leaders, by charity
workers and by all other people who have
dealings with representatives of the labor
ing class Extravaganza is an American
characteristic and is to be found in Bridge
port as well In Newport. There can be
no doubt about 1t that the ordinary income
Of the ordinary American working family
could be made to yield a much larger
amount of comfort and satisfaction than
is at present the case.
But why stop with the diagnosis? Why
not go on to the prescription? The dag

IVORY AND MEERSCHAUM.
Few Native-Born Americans Engaged
In Carving. ~

From the New York Times.
The trade Of the carvers in bone. ivory,
meerschaum and Hike materials has never
fully recovered from the blow it received in
the hard times beginning in 1898. There
were at that time probably more than 800
such carvers working in-this city. Many of
them were driven out of the trade into
other and cruder lines of carving. and only
a few OF those who thus changed their me
dunn have been able to find work Of the
old kind. Only very small part of those
who do such carving belong to the class Of
true artists in ivory. bone and meerschaum.
OF such highly skilled carvers the whole
number could probably be counted on the
fingers of two hands. The business grows
very slowly. There are few native Ameri-
cans who have mastered the craft. Pos
sibly single employing carver. a native
American of German parentage. Is the only
one now engaged in the art Only two
skilled Japanese carvers are employed In
this city, and no Chinese carvers have come
to town. Most OF those engaged in the art
are Germans, though a few Frenchmen
referred to thinks that most Americans
lack patience to become skilled carvers.
The American haste Is antagonistic to the
attitude of mind that the successful carver
must maintain. s-iff., =, = -is.1 y -

Modern Improvements in the Dress Of

Judge Franklin Ferris, Of st. Louis,
therly lecture to a couple that applied
to his court for a divorce. The huS-
band was confirmed lodge goer. He
belonged to lodge for about every
night in the week. His prediction
was for those lodges in which ladies'
are members. The plea made by the
applicants for the divorce, agreed to
by both, was "incompatibility.' Sum-
ming up the evidence, the judge de-

things said: THE husband is u strong,

up the situation as typical one. He

The unusually heavy losses resulting
