Didn't Care to Advertise Wealth.

One of the wealthy residents in the
Wicker park district is a manufactur-
er who from street peddler worked
himself up into position and has ac-
cumulated money so that his neigh
bors estimate his wealth at about
$500. 900. Throughout his career he has
never learned to write and his figur-
ing has been upon a system peculiar
to himself. A few days ago some of
his friends, in the presence of a re-
porter urged the manufacturer to tell
some of his experiences SO that an
article might be published about him.
Pulling out some old tax receipts
he said: 1T might be nice to get my
name in the paper and a writeup
which you think might help me So
cially. If you print, however, that
l am worth $500,Ca0 then the board OF
review will raise ny taxes. l have
found that people in society pay for
what they claim to have more often
than for what they actually possess,
I'd rather keep my taxes as they are
and let no one know just how much
| own."-Chicago Chronicle.

Among the very swell events that has
taken place in Denver during the past
week was the grand opening of tho
Mecca Cafe at 1918 Lawrence street,
last Tuesday night. The dinning room
which was very tastefully decorated
was thronged throughout the evening
with ladies and gentlemen who partook
of the many good things to eat and en-
ioyed some excellent music furnished
by Harris orchestra. Towering high in
the center of each table was beautiful
cut-glass vase of flowers of many colors
which harmonized with the variety of
fashionable gowns worn by the ladies'.
Indeed, it was a scene that the most
fastidious eye would have admired.
Mr.. and Mrs. ID. w. Lacy, the proprie-
tors, have gone to no little expense to
eclipse anything ever attempted in the
cafe business in Denver and it goes
without saying that they will receive
the support they rightly deserve for
their energy and enterprlsing efforts.

Cautious Bride.

perfectly horrible to have all these
strange people know it. Sit up little

all crooked. There's some dust on
your coat. I'll brush it off. How white
the stuff is! 1t must be from that
rice. One corner of your mustache
points down and the other up. 1t looks
too funny for anything. Wait; I'll fix
it. I'm tired to death, dear. Sit up
closer, so l can rest my head on
No, that won't do; l must pretend to
read a novel, and-I don't know; per
haps you'd better go into the smoking
car All the married men do.

you think best.
Bride-Yes, you must go. Help me
off with this glove, dear. You must go
and stay real long-ten or fifteen min

Don't Use SIanu.

"a lady used the expression Gee
the other night" says an exchange.
1t had never occurred to her that thir
was taking the name of the Lord il
vain, and probably few of many who
indulge in sugar-coated profanity re-
alize that they are swearing. What is
Gee" though, but euphemism for
"Jesus?" Dear me" is nothing but
the Latin "Deo Meo" (My God, "Fo,
Goodness Sake" is only for God!
Sake" "Drat it" is God rot it
Judas Priest" is Jesus Christ" "Gol-
ly," Gosh" GLORY" etc, are only va
riations of Damn it," In short, there
is probably not an expression of thi.
sort that cannot be tracked to an OATH
for its origin.

No Matter What She Signed, Woman
Would Pay When She Liked.
"Do you know what you signed?"
asked the man, as the woman laid
down her pen.
"Why, yes" she replied. II signed
a contract to pay for piano in so
many months at the rate of so many
dollars per month"
How do you know you did?" asked
the man. "You didn't read the con.
tract"
II know that" said the woman. at
wasn't necessary. l haven't time for
that. 1 know what l told them down
at the office yesterday"
THAT is just like a woman" said
the man, impatiently. They clap
their names to any kind of a docu-
ment without reading it over. So care
less are they about such things that
half the women in the land would
sign their own death warrant and not
know it,
Then the man read slowly through
the written agreement
Here" he said, lis mistake, first
pop. Fortunately you are dealing with
reliable firm that will rectify it. If
you were buying from some jay con-
cern that would hold you to your bar
gain you would have to make your
payments on the 18th of every month,
instead of on the 1st, as you wish to
do"
"Oh, that's nothing" said the
woman, serenely. Don't worry about
that. I'll pay whenever l get ready,
no matter what the contract says"
'Oh, excuse me-" said the man. Per
haps that explains why all women
think it unnecessary to read whatever
papers they sign"
