OFFER FINANCIAL AID.

All the letters that are received at
the Grand Jury rooms are not Of q
fearsome nature, however. On the con-
trary. citizens have not been remiss in
encouraging the public inquisitors in
their work Many missives express
hearty commendation. The number Of
such communications heap up evidence
of a widespread interest in the efforts
of the Grand Jury. The campaign
against places of vice, particularly $40
Jackson street and 1129 Dupont street,
has brought forth hundreds Of letters
of approval
The words Of encouragement are
backed up in many instances with Of
fers Of financial aid. Many have writ
ten that they would be glad to con-
tribute to "a fund for Grand Jury ex-
penses If money is needed Thus far
the inQuisitors have not been hindered
by want of funds. All that has been
needed has been available from the
city treasury through the court orders
of Judge Lawlor.
I'VE have not had occasion to accept
any Of these Offers" said Foreman An
drews yesterday. Despite Mayor
SchmitZ's protestations / do not under
stand that the Grand Jury has been
shut off from funds in the municipal
treasury. Judge Lawlor and Auditor
Baehr Will continue to pass our de-
mands for expense money.
But if we were in need of funds ]
am assured that we could raise 500, ,000
in a weeks time from public subscrip-
tions to carry on our investigations. II
would surprise you to know how many
offers of financial assistance we have
received from people who want to help
us If we are cramped by a shortage of
money. But 1 do not think 1t would
be good policy to accept the offers.
The provision made by law is the prop
er source Of Grand Jury funds. No
question can then be raised as to out
side influences"
The Grand Jury will meet this aft
ernoon at o'clock in it's Mills build
ing quarters. The report of Architect
Newton J.. Tharp, who has inspected
all the theaters and showhouses of the
city, will be ready for presentation.
Hardly any Of them were found to
comply with the fire ordinances, and
at least one is regarded as a firetrap.
It is possible that drastic measures will
be advised in some instances.

That's Just Like a Man"

Certainly 1t was an awkward pre-
dicament and for a moment after the
butcher told her that his search of
South Water street had revealed only
five SQUAD Mrs. Patterson was in de-
spair. But she was a clever woman,
was Mrs. Patterson, and resourceful.
Jones'" she said, decisively, you
bring me the five SQUAD and with them
bring a lamb chop cut to as near the
shape of bird as possible. I'll just
have to make it do"
Mrs. Patterson, who lives In Buena
Park, was to give luncheon, and TO
the five women who were invited she
was particularly indebted. She wish
ed the luncheon to be perfect In every
detail and here she was with five SQUAD
to feed six persons.
The day came and with 1t the
guests. Seated around a daintily ap-
pointed table the six women began the
enjoyment Of an exquisite luncheon.
everything went we'll until time came
for the entrance Of the SQUAD. Her
instructions were clear and to her
was served the fat lamb chop, carved
In sufficient resemblance Of bird TO
pass ordinary scrutiny.
Mrs. Patterson daintily sliced a
small portion from the bogus breast
Of the bogus pigeon and kept up
rapid fire of conversation. Then an
other dainty cut from the other side'
and more conversation. 1t was in the
midst of a sentence that the thought
came to her, and she grew first red
and then pale and then red again.
Aren't you well, dear?" asked one
of the guests. your face is pale or
flushed, I don't know which. Per-
haps-"
"Oh, really, it's nothing. think the
room is a little warm. Have you no.
ticed it?"
The course ended, and then sudden
ly one woman espied the bogus SQUAD
on Mrs. Patterson's plate.
mot eating that delicious bird, dear.
Oh, now I know you must be Ill. No
one who was not could forgo such a
dainty"
Mrs. Patterson endeavored to main
tain her ease during the rest Of the
luncheon, and until her guests de-
parted, and then she gave up and
wept. It was with red eyes that her
husband found her when he came
home.
THAT luncheon and that hateful
butcher, and, o-o-o," she walled, as
she told her husband Of the bogus
SQUAD. II just know some Of those
women suspected; know they did. or
course I couldn't eat it, and I know
they thought it was spoiled or some
thing"
Patterson looked at her with bewild-
cred eyes. II don't see," he said.
Lamb is pretty good food. Why didn't
you cut right into 1t and never"
"Oh, you big, stupid thing. That's
Just like a man. Don't you see, II l
had tried to eat it, they would have
seen there weren't any ?"-Chi-

PRESENCE OF MIND.-The following
is a true story of an incident that hap
pened in an English village:
A husband had gone out for the
evening and left his wife and child at
home. The woman was about to retire
for the night when, to her amazement,
she perceived the foot Of a man be-
meath the bed. Instead Of calling for
assistance, as some would have done,
she coolly went to the child's cot and
sat and sang till the child went to
sleep. Two hours then remained be-
fore her husband came In. He was
surprised to find her waiting UP, but
when his wife handed him an envel-
ope, saying, "You might run and post
this" the cause Of her waiting was re-
vealed, Instead Of a letter the follow
ing was written on the envelope: "A
burglar Is under our bed. Run; fetch
police" The husband returned In
minute with policeman. and the man
was arrested, The burglar when
brought up before the magistrate re-
marked that he had come across
few brave women In his time, but this
one must have had q nerve like iron,
for she sat there for three solid hours.
He had the impression that she didn't
know he was there till the policeman
pulled him out,

THE SERVANT PROBLEM. Edward
Everett Hale and certain of his friends
in Washington were discussing the
vexatious servant problem" when
some one referred to the alleged ten
dency Of domestics toward unbearable
impertinence.
mo doubt American servants are
reprehensible in that respect" said
the doctor; but if the incident l shall
relate is true. then our servants fall
far beneath the standard set by their
French colleagues.
AN American lady of my acquaint-
ance, now living in Paris. tells me that
a friend of hers once had occasion to
reprimand a parlor maid for shameful
neglect of duty.
Marie said she, there's months
dust on this table,
AT this observation, the maid gave
a toss of the head. saying: Surely,
madam cannot censure me for that
since l have been in madams employ

Mr.. BLAIR IN ATLANTA.
How the Old Gentleman PiIoted a
Party of Youngsters Through the

City.
Editor of The Yorkville Enquirer.
Please pardon a few thoughts sug-
gested by reading a sketch OF Mr..
Samuel Blair in the last issue OF THE
ENQUIRER.
1t was the privilege Of the writer and
a party of his friends to meet Mr..
Blair in Atlanta in November, 1895,
during the exposition. We were stop
ping at the Bell House, No. S0a Cap
itol avenue. While not In attendance
upon the exposition we were desirous
of taking in all places Of interest, see
ing the sights, and in fine, doing the
city as thoroughly as possible In the
limited time at our command. Before
starting out, knowing Mr.. Blair to be
an old man, Che was then seventy
two years of age) and thinking him
irca rahle Of rapid walking, and wish
ing to appreciate his feelings as dell
cately as possible, we would ADDRESS
him about as follows, "Mr. Blair, we
are going out for a little run over the
city. II you will kindly excuse us ana
try and make yourself comfortable Tor
a while we will not be gone long" TO
which he would reply, Gentlemen, l
prefer to go with you." To our sur
prise we found him the best walker
the most interesting talker and TN
closest observer In the party. instead
of being a hindrance he proved to be
a most agreeable and interesting COM
panion. In fact he was the only one
of the party who knew anything of the
early history Of the place-antedating
in fact. the birth of the city. for In
1916 what is now Atlanta. was onlv
Marthasville. and it was to him and
US, a wonderful revelation that what
was then n little cross-road hamlet
with one or two stores. had developed
into the "Gate CITY, Of the south.
And row having briefly paid mite
of nv humble tribute to my venera-
HE friend and congratulating him up
on having just celebrated his eighty
first birthday and wishing him many
happy returns OF the day l am,
Respectfully,

fight. He and fifteen companions here
stood off 300 Indians. In time he reach
ed Monterey and later simply to keep
himself in practice, took service
against the Mexicans on the border
for q time.
There was no man of all those known
to the army officers who had the re-
sources or was so well qualified as
dispatch rider as Kit Carson. He was
sent back once more to Washington In
the spring Of 1S4S. The physical frame
of any man except himself had been
by these journeyings too far racked to
enable him to make this long and ha-
zardous trip. The souls Of most men
would have failed them long ere this.
Yet this hardy, tough little man, just
big enough for steady riding, cheer
fully undertook this third journey
across a continent as dispatch bearer.
