 "Still, with your restricted h. come, you cannot seek the elevat- ing Influence of our kind of So- ciety," said the Lady of the House.
 That must grind you a good deal, especially if you have Children growing up. l can imagine that it would be hard lines to know that your Offspring have no Social Ca- reers awaiting them"
 Me and my Wife lay awake Nights and cry about it." said the Steam-Fitter. We thought for while we might save up and buy Jimmy an Auto. but when we look ed in the Catalogue we found that the Price was $4000. So we decided if he wanted to practice Homicide 1t would be cheaper to get him on the Police Force. Being too poor to send him to a University, we let him take Lessons at Boxing Academy and now, when any one starts Rough House, he Is almost as handy as regular Student. He can smoke Egyptian Cigarettes and blow the Smoke through his Nose and he gives me the Laugh when I call him down, and so feel that we have accomplished by Home Training what might have been expected from a College Course. AS for Vivian, our bright eyed little Daughter, she Is the zippiest High-Flyer that speeds the Boulevard. When 1t comes to French Heels and the long Straight Front and all kinds of Blouse hanging in front of her, she can make the average Society Bud look like bum Imitation. She has one of these wig-wag Walks-the kind that makes People Jump off of the Sidewalk. Of course, she is only the Daughter of an obscure Steam-Fitter but let me give you Pointer. You can't tell by look in at one of these Fairies nowa- days what kind of Clothes her Fa- ther wears. When it comes to Lugs, can't see that the Heiress has any Bulge on the simple Work ing Girl. As for putting into the So- cial Swim, she has a Scheme all framed up, by which she expects tc become acquainted with all of the gold-plated Johnnies who in- fest the Municipality. She is go- ing on the Stage to be a Show Girl. She says that the Debutante seldom has more than one on her Staff while the Show Girl can take her Pick of large Bunch. So you see that in these Days of Public Schools and Cheap Reading Matter and custom-made Imita- tions, even the most Humble can occasionally make a Bluff at being the Real Thing. So long as my Children hoot at my Suggestions and tell me every Day where to get off or how to back over the lump, Papa will not be altogether discouraged in regard to their Social Careers. In fact, the only thing that worries me is the Fear that won't be able to keep up with them"
 T am glad to find you so Phil osophical," said the Millionairess. After reading several Books Written by College Professors who disguised themselves as Laborers and went and lived among the down-trodden Masses, l have sup

One of the most destructive fires
that has occurred here In many

evening and as result the planning
mill of Mccoy & Alexander was
burned to the ground. Fire was
discovered at about 8:3> o'clock In
the roof of the boiler house. neal
the smoke stack and the fire alarm
was at once given. The fire com
panies responded promptly, but by
the time they arrived the fire had
gained great headway and
the flames had reached the
main building Owing to the mud

pressure of water much uuneces-

Elective streams turned upon the
flames.
The building was a two story
frame structure and burned yer,
rapidly as 1t contained a large
quantity of shavings and lumber
The fire, however, was finally gotte
under control and was coufued tc

the air was very still at that time
other wise 1t would have been much
more destructive The exact los:
sustained by the proprietors canno
at this writing be estimated, but II

thoroughly. 1t will be found in use
during the coming season by some of
the best players on the gridiron.
The old arrangements Of separate
protectors for each of the parts COW
cred by this arrangement was really
only a makeshift when compared to
the thorough protection which this
gives while the movements are not re-
tarded in the slightest degree. Heavy
wool felt is used in padding the guard
both inside and out, and in every par
ticular it is made in exact accordance
with decisions of the rules committee
Another arrangement for which Mr..
Warner is also responsible consists Of
a shoulder guard nodded to the form
and heavily padded both inside and
out with wool felt.
OF course it is by the players on the
prominent college teams that the rank
and file will naturally be guided in
making their selection of equipment
for football, and too much care cannot
be exercised, particularly this season,
In providing for those articles which
will not conflict with the recent deci-

AN AUTOMOBILE YACHT.
Its Inventor Expects to Explore
Florida swamp In Novel Craft.

Destined for service both on land and
water, the much discussed automobile
yacht will soon be prepared to make
its journey to the south, says the New
York Herald. AS far as both marine
and terrestrial architecture are con-
cerned the amphibious craft is not
thing to delight the eye, for it has lines
which have never been considered
beautiful.
It's inventor, Anton Schmidt, cabf-
net maker of Newark, n. j., who built
1t, says that he is sure that it will do
all that is required of it either in the
water or on dry land and that soon he
will make his arrangements to go TO
Florida, where he has been invited to
explore a swamp. Near Ocala. he has
been informed, there is a morass which
incloses a more or less active sulphur
volcano. Rank vegetation abounds on
the outskirts of the region, and in the

HAS A "STOCKING" ROOM.
Unique Apartment Kansas City
Bank Provides For Wcmcn.

All banks of any size in c.-.es hare
stock" rooms. These are OF two
classes, one being where bonds and
stocks are examined by their owners
and the other where the stock station
cry and the like are kept. But only one
bank on earth has a stocking room,
and that bank is in Kansas City, says
the Journal of that city.
The stocking" room in the National
Bank of Commerce is for the exclusive
use of women, of whom the bank has
1000 as customers. 1t is one of suit
Of four devoted to their uses, the 9th
ers being a reception room, writing
room and lavatory, the last being
sound proof, walled in white marble
and wholly a gem. But these rooms,
though fitted up in mahogany and
panels of brocaded satin, are secondary
to the stocking" room, to which they
are merely adjuncts after all.
In a word, the stocking" room is the
apartment into which women go to
take the money they wish to deposit in
the bank from their stockings. Now. it
is a jest and a byword among men
that woman carries her fortune in her
hose, but not many of them believe that
this is true. Experience taught the
bank officials that 1t was the case, for
many and oft was the query made,
"Where can we go to take out our
money! Hence, when the bank was
enlarged recently a room was provided
just for this purpose. 1t is extremely
private and is equipped with chairs
and with little foot rests about the
wall at convenient height, so that a
woman may put her foot on rest and
secure the funds wherewith to make
her deposit. Although not finished as
yet, the room has already proved its
right to be and is in constant use.
The bank officials do not look upon
the stocking" room as a joke by any
means. but are perfectly sincere in
opening it. They have found it to be
a public necessity. so far as their wom-
en- customers are concerned. But 1t
doubtless is the only room of the sort
In the world.
