Not Ready to Retire.
When he was asked If there were any
truth in the recurring rumors of his ra-

sniff Of indignaot resentment:

the people kTOW about IL
Well, isn't Representative Dayton

a chance, said Judge Jackson. y just

I am not going 20 retire. he said. I

honest compliment. Senator EIkins de-

The Way 1t Is
According TO the complaints:
Employees are now crowded into old
buildings, fifty and sixty sleeping in
wards of former hospitals and similar
structures.
Dredgemen and men of this class are
working from da Wight until dark, their
hours being longer than at home, when
in reality they should be much shorter
in the tropics.
There is no Saturday half-holiday,
and. in fact. no holidays of any descrIp-
ton upon which some sort of work is
not required by the officers.
Salaries and wages, say the COM
plants, in spite Of the increased work
are lower than at home; while living is
higher. so a week being the lowest for
which anyone can be fed and housed
decently.

On Lincoln's lips the words that

and talked with him, especially during
the Civil War, it seemed as If he could

were just human beings, unlettered, Tin

from a western district approached

The Decline of Pie.

A writer in the current Harpcr's s
Weekly .aments the passing of the
American pie habit as it tiourished n
generation ago. Americans. he thinks.
cat other foods than pie now. Patent
breakfast foods compete audaciousiy
with pie for the supremacy of the
breakfast table. Pie does not adver-
tise. and a food that does not advcr-
tise cannot expect to maintain its tyr
amy over the digestive apparatus OF
a nation of readers. Pie is no longer
the champion of the food list. But
what seems especially remarkable
about it is the lack OF individuality
about the pie OF commerce. The lunch
room keeper recognizes only two kinds
of pie-good pie and spoiled pie. Con
sumers must be equally undiscrimina-
ting. In the age when pie was king
it was not SO. Then there were p.&s
