The Table
'EIow about the table?" asked an in
quisitive member of the party. "Do
they ever eat at these hotels?"
ut is the essence of perfection" re-
piled the guide. Each apartment is
provided with the Oscar table d'hote
powders, which when placed upon the
tip end of the tong. in the process
of dissolving impart to the palate all
the delectable sensations of the most
exquisite table d'hote dinner conceiva-

"Above this floor are the cafe and
saloons. adjacent to which, on the floor
above, we find the courts of justice.
city hall, prisons and other institutions
connected with the administration of
public affairs. And so it goes on up
ward toward the roof-foors for tai e
supplies, floors given over to schot
and Fairgrounds for children-until we
come to the first floor beneath the
roof, where are located the churches of
Philyorgo in groups, each group con-
tanning one each of all denominations
and finally comes the roof, whereon,
high up in the open air, are the homes
of the citizens of Philyorgo, stretching
east, west, north and south as far as
the eye can reach, OH broad, beautiful
avenues, each dwelling having its own
grounds and gardens and filled with Il
happy, work loving people, free from
debt and Contented."
Free From Debt
That's fine" observed one of the
party, especially the free from debt
part of it, How do you keep the people
in that condition."
"It is the result of the Rockefeller
Carnegie fund, established in 1910 by
the government, which conflscated the
possessions of these famous financiers
of the twentieth century, explained
the guide, land kept untouched at
compound interest for a thousand
years. This had reached such propor-
tions that the annual interest accun-
ulation placed at the disposal of the
public has rid the people of all per-
sonal need for money"
But" observed a visitor from Mars,
"if all men share in this fund how do
some people have to live on a Mills
hotel basis and others enjoy 100000 d
year?'
ITS perfectly simple" explained the
guide. "In the city of Philyorgo every
living person is employed by the gov
eminent, no matter what his work, and
his share of the fund is based upon the
amount of service rendered"
"And do you mean to say that the
men who pay such sums for the lux
urious suites at the hotels are worth
that amount of money to their fellow
men,
Yes said the guide. Elise they
would not enjoy such an income"
"'That is radical change" said the
visitor from Mars. up i'll my planet
the chaps who do that are about the
most useless persons in the social
order"
We'll" said the guide, that only
proves that you people in Mars haven't
progressed any further than New York
had as far back as 1906
