/ think there is something wrong
with the oma who does not care TO
spend money; there is such a satisfac-
ton In going to shop on a bright q
with a certain amount of money which
is all your own and which you may
spend Just as you like.
OF course you intend to spend 1t SEN
sibly; probably o planned how be-
fore you left the house.
But nevertheless you find unlimited
enjoyment in looking at all the pretty
things that strike your eye, and telling
yourself that you can buy them If you
want to, for haven't you the price in
your purse?
Every counter and every department
have their possibilities, when your
pocketbook contains a few bills.
You admire, and become Oh, SO criti-
cal, as you gaze at the tempting ar
rays of fnery, and you walk boldly up
to the clerks and ask the prices of
things which you know are away be-
yond your means, and which you nave
not the slightest intention of buying.

Just think how much better off you are
than thousands and thousands of girls

Why. you have no cause to grumble."
And it's pretty true. You and I have
no right to utter a complaint because
things are hot exactly to our liking.
We would be displaying streaks of

what Really Happens.

Later on you go down to the dress

Iect from the viewpoint of durability

go to the lining counter, and then you
go to the skirt department to buy a
pretty drop to go with the suit.
And behold. your little bills have
dwindled, and SO has your interest In
the things beyond your reach Now,
you do not presume to be critical, but
become a humble admirer of all you

I know lots of girls who say they

CONDEMNS THE ALTON DEAL
Attorney Steals Report TO Gov
eynOr DeHeen.
Says Railroad Companies Are Thrown
INTO Hopeless Bankruptcy as a
Result of Illegal Operations.

Springfield, Ill. -Attorney-Gener
Stead handed Governor Deneen an
opinion on the manipulations of the
Chicago and Alton Railroad proper
ties within the last few years by E.
II. Hartman and some OF his fnan-
cial associates, including G. ]. Gould,
Jas. Stillman and Mortimer L. Schiff.
The opinion is given in response to
a request communicated from Gov
ernor Deneen on March % (soon af-
ter the return of Governor Deneen
and Attorney-General Stead from a
conference with President Roosevelt
at Washington) in which the Attor-
ney-General was asked to advise
what his conclusions in the matter
and what action, if any, is contem-
plated by the legal department of the
State.
After setting out the various man
EQUATIONS to which the railroad cor
porations and properties forming the
Alton system were subjected, Attor-
ney-General Stead concludes there is
not the least doubt that a civil rem
edy exists against the financiers who
have wrecked this prosperous rail-
road company, and, at the expense of
innocent stockholders and bondhold-
ers, have gathered to themselves a
harvest of millions of dollars.
BY the figures set out in Mr.
Stead's opinion Hartman and his as
sociates made total profit of $24,-
648,600 out of their operations in
volving the Alton properties. AS a
result of this enormous profit to
themselves the railroad companies of
the Alton system are thrown into
hopeless bankruptcy.
The Indebtedness of the companies,
as shown by the figures in Mr.. Stead S
opinion, has been increased to total
of $50, 646,218 since they fell into
Harriman's hands. OF this amount
only $22,500,O00, according to Har-
riman's own testimony, says the At
torney-G General, was incurred for i'm
provements, betterments or extension
of the roads. Says the Attorney
General.

sets man, realizing this, and prob
ably being addicted to the habit of
carrying loose matches in the pocket,
has solved the problem in peculiar
manner. He has devised and patent
ed a match that is unique in construc-
ton. 1t is shown in the accompany
ing illustration. 1t is made in the
usual way with splint having an
ignition head. Instead of using the
ordinary round splint the latter is
formed with concaved or channel
portion extending from the head of
the match to the opposite end Ia
this channel is placed igniting mate
rials, In use two matches are taken
from the pocket, the head of one be-
ing drawn across the other, and the
match thus ignited. A hundred
could be safely carried in the pocket,
with no chance of accidental ignition.
There is also no necessity of mark
ing up the walls.
