The Great Hotels.
The fifty-seven million dollars that

have been spent in order that the

In passing, it is interesting TO note
that in 1902 forty-eght hotels were

stu true that no other city Of modern
times has given the world so many
household names. The first thing the
average foreigner says when he lands
IN America is something after this
fashion:
Where's your Wall street I've heard
so much about? And your great Sus-
pension Bridge7 (He doesn't call it
Brooklyn Bridge.) And the Stock Ex-

stories OF Artemus ward,


When Artemus Wards business man
ager once asked him about his Puri-
tanic origin he replied, Il think we
came from Jerusalem, for my fathers
name was Levi, and we had a Moses
and a Nathan in the family, but my
poor brothers name was Cyrus. so
perhaps that makes us Persians."
When the humorist began his lecture
he would sometimes describe it by
saying, zone of the features of my
entertainment is that it contains so
many things that don't have anything
to do with it," and in the middle of
his lecture he would stop and say:
lowing to a slight indisposition. we
will now have an intermission of fif-
teen minutes"
The audience would begin to feel
uncomfortable at the thought of star
ing at vacancy for that time. when,
rubbing his hands. the lecturer would
continue. But, ah-I will occupy the
intermlssion by telling few stories"
1t is said that even his business let
ters were eccentric and that once in
writing to a publisher who had made
some alterations in his manuscript he
said. 'The next book l write I'm so
ing to get you to write"

ORIGIN NJ the Salvation Army.

The Salvation Army had its origin in
the town Of WhitEy, in the rough coal
mining district Of Yorkshire, where
General Booth. at that time Rev. Will
liam Booth. was doing humble mission
work. England was then in arms. eX-
pecting to jump into the Russo-Turkisn
war. 1t occurred to Booth that he
might attract crowd by issuing dec
laration of war himself. so he prepared
one forthwith, sprinkled it plentifully
with halleluiths ana posted 2,O00 copies
of it about town. The device tickled
the British sense of humOr, there was
"redhot, rousing meeting" to quote
General Booth, the penitent fell down
in heaps" and the Salvation Army
sprang into life full grown.

An old actor was illustrating the

a theatrical manager who adopted the

sort of trademark and used it on all
his literature and posters. ''The scheme
worked pretty WELL" said the actor,
until the theatrical man struck town

Then the suggestion, Go where the
