 There Is, no doubt. d certain amount of truth In what he says. but there is also large amount of error and where there Is truth one can hardly help feel ing that his present unproduetiveness IS hls own fault. not the fault of society on which he tries to unburden It. If ha had stuck to his post in the city hall when difficulties began to gather and when pressure was brought upon him, perhaps his conscience would be clearer this summer and his complaints would not be SD loud
 Mr. Patterson's most curious error is his idea that no work can be done that is worth while except by manual labor. When he was q reporter on q Chicago newspaper he did work that was product i've in the sense of providing material benefits to other men. even though he had in his hands no pick, no hoe. no saw, no engine lever As an editorial writer, he certainly labored, and as a repre- sentative In the state legislature he must have spent many days in toll. Again in. the city hall he worked hard until the novelty wore off
 Why should all this work be denounced by him though 1t had neither been labofious nor productiveP Why should he regard the sewing of a button on his coat as more truly real work" than the hunting down of sduatters on city prop erty and the forcing of them to pay tha city compensation?

 There Is another type of clothes that is equally faddening-the sef-complacent. Some gowns are unalterably pleased with themselves. The worse the gown (of this type) the greater the complacehcy, as d rule. It has nothing-or not much-to do with the wearer of It. Nothing can shake the urbanty of such dress, not even the splllng of a cup of coffee all down the front of 1t.

As matter of fact the performances were considerably less rlsque than those of some theatres In bis cities of the east today, though each 'soubrette' mingled with the spectators after doing her turn. and usually she was equipped with a plentiful thirst.
 But It was the blood-and-thunder char aoter of the honkatonk which gave 1t it's ''tone." In the earliest years everybody went armed. not only to asslst the per- formers in lending realism to the cll- maxes, but because a brace of guns was considered essential to ones personal attire The honkatonks were usually con ducted in connection with gambling houses, where everything on the calendar went, from chuok-a- luck to faro.
