Fouts knocked and came IN.
Nov you go along uptown, Uncle
Peter. l want a few minutes with
Mr.. Fouts, and I'll come to your place
at seven"
The old man arose dejectedly.
Don't let me interfere a minute
with your financial operations. I'm
too old a man to be around in folks
way"
He slouched out with his head bent.
A moment later Percival remem-
bered his last words, also his refer
ence TO Blythe. He was seized with
fear for what he might do in his
despair, Uncle Peter would act
quickly if his mind had been made up.
He ran out into Wall street, and
hurried up to Broadway. A block OIL
on that crowded thorouShfare he saw
the tall figure of Uncle Peter turning
into the door of saloon. He might
have bought poison. He ran the
length of the block and turned in.
Uncle Peter stood at one end of the
bar with a glass of creamy beer in
front of him. At the moment Per-
cival entered he was inclosing large
slab of Swiss cheese between two
slices of rye bread.
He turned and faced Percival, look
ing from him to his sandwich with
vacant eyes.
I'm that wrought up and dis
tressed, son, I hardly know what I'm
dom! Look al me now with this
stuff in my hands,
II just wanted to be sure you were
all right" said Percival, greatly re.
lieved.
"All right" the old man repeated.
"All right? My God-ruined! There's
nothin' left to do now
He looked absently at the sand
witch and bit a generous semi-circle
into it.
II don't see how you can eat, Uncle
Peter. It's so horrible!"
II don't myself; it amt healthy
appetite-can't be-must be some
kind of a fever inside of mel s'pose
from all this trouble. And now
I've come to poverty and want in my
old age. Say, son, l believe there's
Jest one thing you can do to keep me
from goin' crazy
Name it, Uncle Peter. You bet I'll
do it,"
well it amt much-of course l
wouldn't expect you to do all them
things you was jest braggin' about back
there-about goin' to work the proper
ties and all that-you would do it ii
you could, I know-but it amt that.
All l ask is. don't play this Wall street

II don't believe it is, Uncle Peter
| won't touch another share, and I
won't go near Shepler again. Well
keep the One Girl"
He called a cab for the old man, and
saw him started safely Off uptown.
At the hotel Uncle Peter met Billy
Brue fourishing an evening paper that
Jared with explanatory headlines.
Its all in the papers, Uncle Peter!'
Dead broke! Amt it awful, Billy!'
Say. Uncle Peter, you said you'd
raise hell. and you done it. You done
it good, didn't you?"

Care OF the Dog.

Dogs vary greatly in their appetItes.
and occasionally we find dainty feed

food. picking out bit here and there
and showing but little relish for what
he does eat. This is an evident sign
that something Is wrong. Changing
his teeth, if puppy. thus disturbing
his system, may be the cause. and in
this case little cooling medicine

A CHICAGO MuppLE.

They have. been having some fun up in Chicago-for those who could see 1t. It seems that the ladies of the city had a "kirmiss" for the purpose of raising a fund for the Children's Memorial Hospital. and it was managed and participated in by the best society women of Chicago. One of the minis- ters of the city heard that the ladies were having some high jinks during the performances. and "in order to be fair" as he expressed it, he attended one evening performance. It is pre- sumable that he saw more than he expected, and what he said in his next sermon was a plenty. Perhaps one sentence will be sufficient to show the tenor of his remarks. He said: The half-naked, painted sensualized Chica- go woman is full sister with the be- nighted woman of South Africa-they are one in that to both life of the senses is all"
 There was a good deal more of the same sort, but this is enough to show the trend of his discourse, and the se- verity of his criticism. As would nat urally be supposed. the women who took part in the performance are in q boiling heat at the way the minister talked about them. One of their de- fences is that they dressed with as much propriety, and kicked no higher in their dances than the chorus girls at the theaters do. They say that the Fnfnfafar doaen,f of4apd tho 4hoo.a-. for If he did he would see exhibitions more glaring and dresses much more scanty than anything he saw at their performance; therefore, as they look at 1t. there was no harm in anything they did. In other words if the best people of Chicago. male and female. att tend the theaters where high kickers. Spanish dancers. and other entertain CTS perform all sorts of high jinks there can be no harm in those same best people giving a performance of like nature.
 This may or may not be a valid de- fence of themselves, or a settling re- ply to the ministers who scored them so severely. It depends on how one
 
 that what Dr. Strong. the minister, said affords food for thought. He may have been unduly severe in his language but he was doubtless thinking of the consequences of what he witnessed. If the leaders of society, the wives and mothers in many cases, conduct them selves in way that may fairly be called shameless, will it not have an i'll effect on the young girls who wit ness 1t? This is an important point, as we view it. Let us admit that these leaders of Chicago society had no thought of harm. can they hold them selves blameless if harm comes of their exhibition? Many hurtful things are done without evil intent but the result may be just as bad. Finally, We hold that it is wrong for a good woman to set bad example. even though she intends no wrong.
