guess coming. Triggs is not a person to
be downed and if by any untoward chance
he should fall, straightway he mounts
UP again into the heights where the
lime-light of publicity beats upon his
head and yellow journals flourish. To
make a long matter short. Triggs Is now
editor of radical. magazine. OF course
the publication is radical otherwise It
would not be edited by Triggs The title
of the periodical is Tomorrow and 1t
views topics of the day with far-sghted
glasses. The mission of Tomorrow" is
to point out to careless world what
we are coming to, especially in matters
industrial and political. 1t is "a monthly
CT the changing order of things" While
Professor Triggs devotes some attention
to politics, he believes that the coming
revolution in the United States will not
be political but industrial. Tomorrow
the redemption of the world will begin.
Even shrewd business men are preparing
for the change-a change which some
believe will come five years hence" One
of the notable contributors to the first
issue of Tomorrow is billie" Bryan,
who created some noise in the country by
running for the presidency. Since Pro-
fessor Trigg's magazine is already causing
talk there is no reason why the circula-
ton should not begin to grow. At least
the University of Chicago is now at
peace and the ramifieations of the Trigg's
intellect are no longer viewed with alarm
by the faculty. Professor Triggs is no
more 1t is now Editor Triggs.
There are two Pullman car porters
who have Travelled on the Burlington
route between Chicago and Denver for
twenty years What the public is really
Interested in is not the exceptional record
of these two sleeping car autocrats but
the amount of tips they have collected
from the travelling public during their
long term of service
A Pennsylvania youth Rugged an old
lady of so years so hard that her collar
bone was broken and she was so seriously
injured that she may not recover He
should have embraced some one 60 years
younger and there would have been no
accident.
1t may soon be possible for the luxuri-
opsly inclined to sleep the long sleep in
tombs like unto those occupied by Eng
lands buried great in Westminster
abbey, without however, the historic at
mosphere possible in Londons magnif-
cent hall of the dead. A mausoleum
costing S15O,000 is to be constructed in
Montrese cemetery, Chicago with cata-
combs and crypts to be placed on the
market at $1,000 each. The mausoleum is
to be fashioned after Westminster abbey,
but will also be a trifie more modern in
design. There will be a memorial temple
combining a chapel and a burial vault.
The whole scheme is nothing more than
the outcropping of human vanity under
a guise that is not at all new, but rather
unusual in this country. The old world
peoples have paid honor to their dead
from the earliest times, but in the
United States, sarcophagal extravaganza
has not been so pronounced. OF course
there will be plenty of persons who will
subscribe for crypt in the Montrese GEM
etery mausoleums, but plutocrats who
long for funereal grandeur should be re-
minded of the old maxim that the truly
to perpetuate his memory The greatest
monument of all is the fame that does
not fade with the man who created it,
