Messrs. Sparton and Flowing prlded
themselves upon being the best jew
e'ers in town. They were very go
ahead firm and in their window tha
latest novelties in watches and clocks
could always be seen.
One morning Mr. Flowing, the junior
partner, began to dance round inc
shop, excitedy pointing to 2 parce'
which lay open on one of the glass
covered show cases.
What have you now" said Mr.
Sparton.
It's the photographic watch said
the junior partner, excitedly; 1T will
sell like blazes"
Il have never sold any blazes,' said
the senior partner with reprovins
frown-"let me see those talking tick
ers
The partners undld the wrappers in
which some Is watches were encased.
They looked very harmless, and had
the stupid oyer-conscientious look OF
the ordinary watch,
They are all going" said Mr.. Spar
ton, after he had put each to his
ear.
1T is ten minutes to nine, said Mr..
Flowing; lin ten minutes we shall
hear them speak. | believe one CON
tains the voice of Mr. Roosevelt and
one a line spoken by Ada Rehan.'
The partners then arranged the
watches in two rows upon the des&,
and anXiously awaited the hour. As
the big clock over the shop began to
wheeze preparatory to striking, a tiny
little voice was heard to proceed from
enc Of the mild-looking watches on the
desk
Nine. Your father has gone down
to breakfast, it said in the quiet, sub
Gued tones of a trained servant
"A schoolboys holiday watch, SUP
pose" said Mr. Sparton
Mr.. Flowing looked for the words
your father in the descriptive cata-
losue.
NO. ga young lady's watch" he
said
Nine. Quite time to get up" said
one OF the watches, brightly. Then the
others said. all talking at the same
time:
Nine. open the letters and take
them upstairs"

where provisions and supplies be sent
they be consigned to DR.. Devine, Red
Cross, San Francisco, and that DIR. De-
vine be notified by telegraph of such

AT the same time, Jacob H. Schiff,
treasurer of the New York Red Cross
association in New York, may be mott
fed that the consignments have been
sent to DR.. Devine, or else the notifica-
ton can be sent to Charles H. Keep,
assistant secretary of the treasury,
Washington, D. c., and assistant treas
urer of the Red Cross organization.
Il suggest that all contributions
that have already been forwarded be
brought to the attention of DR.. Devine
by telegraph, which telegram should
state the name and address of the
cOnsignee and the amount and nature
of the consignment. 1t is better to

Engineers, architects, and builders
everywhere are interested in the plans
made public from New York for a
skyscraper that will out skyscrape
anything yet built. These plans were
filed with the New York building de-
partment by Ernest Flagg, for the
proposed Singer building. Nothing
more radical has ever been attempted
on either side of the ocean than IL
embodied in the plans for this struc-
ture. The building Is to be forty
stories high and other buildings in New
York and Chicago which. now cause
people to become stiff-necked looking
up at them will, by comparison, appear
small.
Two Of the tallest Chicago buildings,
the Masonic Temple and the Majestic
Theater, would be but one story high
er than the Singer building, II one
was placed on top of the other. There
will be sos feet of the structure above
ground and probably rs feet Of II
below the street surface, 80 that all
told. it will be ten feet longer than thu
mammoth, Amerika, the biggest steam
ship afloat.
1t was supposed the limit had been
reached in this style of structure, but
1t seems not Before long a f1fV story
pile may be expected to make slow 60
Ing people gasp.
While Chicago was the pioneer In the
erection Of tall buildings, it has In
the last few years been far outstrip-
ped by New York. The constantly in
creasing population Of Manhattan Isl
and and the impossibility Of increas-
Ing the ground area for the accommo-
dalton Of the people made 1t neces-
sary to run the buildings higher and
higher until 1t Is impossible to tell
when tho limit will be reached.

Unless there is a proper organiza-

the public is In hard luck, It wants to
