Dinner n In Carte.

DR.. Edward Everett Hale was one of
the guests at a millionaire's dinner.
The millionaire was free spender, but
he wanted full credit for every dollar
put out. And as the dinner progressed,
he told his guests what the more ex-
pensive dishes had cost. This ter
rapin," he would say, was shipped di-
rect from Baltimore. Baltimore
cook came on to prepare 1t. The dish
actually cost one dollar a teaspoonful."
SO he talked of the fresh peas, the
dollhouse asparagus, the Covent garden
peaches and the other courses. He
dwelt especially on the expense of the
large and beautiful grapes each bunch
a foot long, each grape bigger than a
plum. He told down to penny what
he had figured 1t out that the grapes
had cost him apiece. The guests look
ed annoyed. They ate the expensive
charity. But DR.. Hale, smiling,
extended his plate and said:

More interesting than the hasty
BODYBUILDING along the line of rail
way extension is the planning of a new
| city on barren shore of Lake MIchi-
gan. A year ago there was an i'm.
mense tract OF land, studded with q
few sparse trees and some rank under
growth, In the northwest of Indiana,
just where Lake Michigan touches the
Hoosler State. At present $4,000 men
are working over this desert, and in
three years 1t viii be not only n place
on the map, but the thriving city of
Gary, an infant phenomenon, a baby
western rival to Pittsburg, with a pop
.ulation not far from 100000
The story Of the building OF Gary is
one Of the romances of industry, and
is fit to inspire the writing of an epic
on the age of steel. For Gary is to
be a steel city. That is what 1t Is
being built for.
As it is the United States Steel Cor
poration which Is performing this won
derful feat OF raising city from a
prairie, and as 1t stands ready to de-
vote $75,00o,0O0 to the work, It Ia no
mere gossip to say Gary will be model
municipality and beehive of indus
try. As the steel company is not per-
mitted by its charter TO engage In the
real estate business, a separate COM
pany has been formed for the purpose
of building the town, laying 1t out
and disposlng OF real estate. Merely
as a venture in real estate Gary viii
be a profitable investment.
About COCO acres have already been
acquired by the corporation at a cost
of about 100000. Large tracts of
land are being added to this nucleus,
and 1t is expected that eventually TO-
0oO acres will pass into the hands of
these new city builders The land lies
along the shore Of the lake from Clark
Junction on the west almost to the
mouth Of Grand Calumet River on the
east. The depth Of the tract averages
about two and half miles, the south
ern limits skirting the town Of Tolles-
ton, Ind

ton Of Gary, for which the initial APP
is 100000. there is con-

| The celebrated SMYRNA Garnet, Is
not made in Smyrna; it is product OF
the yilayet of Adm, of which Smyrna
is the capital. The chief places of man.

koule, Ghiardis, Melessos, Kirkagatsch,
Makrl, Axar and Demirdji The industry
gives employment to thousands of peo-
pie, especially women, who are Obliged

the men spend their time in the coffee

Oriental fashion. Little girls are COM
PEELED to take up the work early, at I

they keep at it increasingly until they
go to their graves.
The market for the woods is held
every Thursday from dawn to sunset
in the bazaar of Uschak, which is then
filed with purchasers who, have arrived
on buffaloes, camels, donkeys and other
picturesque beasts of burden. The spun
woods are not dyed by the weavers
themselves, but by special dyers.
More than 5000 female weavers are
employed at Uschak in the preparation
Of carpets. The operators are gen
orally members Of the same family, but
there are number of girls who earn
about 6 to cents per day. The Chi
ardis carpets are generally smaller
than those of Uschak. Very fine prayer
carpets, closely woven and or harmo-
NOUS colors, are produced in imitation
of the Persian carpets.

That is vital consideration in bust
