A Thrty.four Story Structure viii Be
Built by w. r. Hearst.

New York, Feb. 18.-Plans have
been prepared for The most striking
looking office structure yet built in
this city Of sxyscrapera. If they are
not changed before the time for the
ac ual putting up of the building, the
result will be a structure of steel and
masonry 80 or "a stories high, on a
site of about 5000 square feet-two
city lots This will be the tallest Of.
flee building in the world
The property is the Virginia hotel
site, bounded by the Grand Circle.
Broadway, Eighth avenue and Fifty
eighth street. 1t is owned by the New
York American, and is to be improved
in about a years time with an office
building for the use of that newspa-
per. A report was printed yesterday
that the building would be 40 stories
high. At the office of the newspaper
It was learned that this estimate was
an exaggeratlon to the extent of six
or eight stories
Some weeks ago the New York
American was repor ed to have pur-
chased the block to the south bound
ed by Broadway Eighth avenue. Fif-
ty-seventh and Fifty-eighth streets,
from the United States Realty & Con-
struction compan:- Il now turns out
to be the case that the purchase was
never made and no negotiations look
ing to It are In progress. At the time
this deal was understood to be under
way it was believed that the newspa-
per would use the large block for the
site of its new home and protect its
northerly light and enhance its view
by putting a low structure on the Yir-
ginia hotel site. This idea is now out
of the question
SO one has ever built an office struc-
ture more than 26 stories high, but
the reason for limiting the height has
been "A financial one, not the fear that
T. was necessary for safety. Construc-
tion experts have no definite limit Of
height beyond which they think
building cannot safely go. But it is
evident that if It is made too tall the
top s'ories will not be rentable. The
public will fight shy of them.
Accordingly it would be highly diff
ficult to get any lending company to
finance the erection of a 80 or 40 story
building
The problem is still further COM
plicated in this case by the paucity of
area in the Virginia ho,el site. wa-
liam r. Hearst, who owns the New
York American has satisfied himself,
however. that 1t is practicable. from
construction standpoint to improve
the property with a 80 or 94 story
building.

Guthrie Has to Bow to the Inevitable
Scores Of Citizens Prove


After the readers have read the pub
lie statement of this representative
citizen Of Guthrie given below, he
must fairly, squarely and honestly
come TO this conclusion; A remedy
which cured years ago, which has kept
the party in good health since, can be
relied upon to perform the same work
under similar circumstances. Read
this:

mason, residing at 413 South First
St, says: 81 took a course Of treat
ment Of Doan's Kidney Pills in the
carly spring Of 1901, getting them at
J. N. Wallace's drug store l was so
well pleased with the results obtained
that l freely gave for publication to
a gentleman who called upon me, an
endorsement Of the remedy. II is now
the month of July, 1908, over two
years since l first gave my original
statement and now have this to say
about Doan's Kidney Pills. When they
cured me they cured absolutely.
have thoroughly tested the effects by
long continued work at my trade,
which is very trying on the back. For
eight years, off and on, previous to
taking Doan's Kidney Pills worked In
misery while now it is a pleasure. If

A Hidden warning.

1t is recorded in history that when
Darius. king of Persia, invaded Scythia
the ruler of the latter country, Idan-
thuras, sent him a message consisting
of mouse. a. frog, a bird, an arrow
and a pillow. The wisest men in the
army puzzled over the meaning of It,
which was conjectured to be that the
empire was surrendered. 1t was sup
posed that the mouse signified the
dwellings, the frog the waters. the
bird the air, the arrow the arms and
the pillow the land.
But it turned out eventually that
the Interpretation intended was that
unless Darius and his soldiers could fly
like birds, burrow like mice or betake
themselves like frogs to the water they
would never escape the weapons of the
Scythians and make their way out of
the country.

The Birth of the Opal.

There is beautiful little story told
about the opal, that delicate stone
which you have no doubt seen in rings
and bracelets. The story is that the
opal was long ago promised to any
body who could discover 1t. 1t lay hid
den away, so the old fortune tellers
used to say, at the place where the
sunlight and the moonlight Joined"
each other, and whoever could find
that spot would be rewarded by a
quantity Of large, beautiful opals. Aft
err long search for the place where
the sunlight and moonlight joined
each other the place was found by q
Spanish traveller, who followed up the
rays of the setting sun, and when he
had reached the end of the last ray he
waited until the moonbeams shone up
on the earth, and there he found the
opals. Theysare said to be very lucky
stones for those who are born in the
fall of the year and very unlucky for
those born in the spring. OF course it
is only a saying that these are lucky
or unlucky, but the rest of the story is
true, as you will believe if you look in
the heart of an opal and see the pink
tints of the sun and the blue rays Of
the moon nesting in the middle of 1t.

While we may pick and choose and
do exactly as we please about our
clothes, there have been in times gone
by in many countries and even in our
own, what were known as "snmptuary
laws" These laws regulated expendi-
ture for dress, for ornament, for food
or for whatever refreshments you
might give company when they came
to take tea.
Among the first of these sumptuary
laws was one made in Rome in 215 B.
G. and called the Orphan law" 1t lie
clared that no woman should possess
more than half an ounce of gold, wear
a dress of different colors or ride in q
vehicle in the city or within a mile of
it except on occasions of public reli-
gious ceremonies. This law lasted only
twenty years.
Italy and France are the countries
where most of these laws have been
passed, and some of them read very
strangely. In 1880, in Italy, no woman
was allowed to wear dress with fig
ures painted on it, she could only have
them embroidered And in 1348, in the
same country, neither dark green nor
black dresses were allowed to be worn
in the morning.-St. Nicholas.
