that at every cell. He might have spilled the

in the cell. He most strictly retralned, however,

their desires, any singular act on his part would
stand out of the mystery like torch in the gloom

leaned forward and, putting his mouth close to the

No other place in the city is more attractive. Red is used as the color in decorations and an attractive Japanese booth adds to the many features offered. In this booth are hats of every shade, style and size. They are re- productions of all the latest New York and Parisian models and la. dies have been crowding into the place throughout the day.

Pabst Blue Ribbon'' beer, along with all the others, was for weesB alternately subjected to extreme degreess of heat and cold Of all the beers sue tested Pabst Blue Ribbon beer was the only one found upon examination to retain all the properties originally contained ars the brew. It was finally determined tl1aE the Blue Ribbon" beer took first place among all the other varieties submitted by American and European breweries- Consequently the highest possible honorsS of the exposition were awarded
 The fact that the American beer took first place was all the more remarkable from the fact that it was necessarily transported great distance. a factor thak might ordinarily have been a decided handicap as against other beers sent to Antwerp. The time that the beer was in transit from the brewery in Milwaukee was something like four weeks and ia aGo a generally accepted theory that beer los ass through transportation. The Pabst beer apparently was unaffected. Its durability and pureness were found upon exanlina- tion to be without fault

 The awards were brought to Milwaukee by special emissary from the International Hygienic and Pure Food exposition at Antwerp, Belgium, and include the cross of honor of Belgium, known as the grand prize of the exposition, gold medal and a diploma elaborately studded with seals that Pabst Blue Ribbon, the beer of quality, received the highest award for purity and excellence at the great expo- sition held in Antwerp.

scribers, and there are from two TO
-four editions of each catalogue dur
ing a year. And several companies
keep a good sized printing plant busy
the year around doing nothing else
but getting out the telephone book,
the work on one is7ue beginning as
soon as the previous edition Is OF
the presses.
As a matter of mechanical Difficult
ty, Il is generally admitted, no other
book in the world presents such
arduous problems as the big tele-
phone directory. In the case OF such
a book as that of the New York
Telephone company, provision has to
be made for upwards OF 10000 new
names into each new edition, ana
very many of these must be inserted
at the last possible moment. II is
an unwritten law among the Bell
companies that the directory must
be out on time. That generally
means working the presses day and
night just before publication.
No other single form OF CONNER
cial printing has reached the magni-
tude of the telephone work. The
trolley car, however, has given a
great impetus OF the same kind. The
transfers manufactured in the Uni
ted States last year reached the i'm
mense total OF three and half
thousand millions, occurring approx
imately 3O,OOO,O 900 sheets of paper
and an annual expenditure for paper
and printing by the trolley companies
of somewhat more than half mil.
lion dollars.
The whole number OF printed
sheets required for telephone dlrec
tories, streetcar transfers and city
dlrecories was 175, 100000. Tn,
paper thus consumed would load
more than 400 freight cars to theii
maximum capacity.
