WHAT FINANCIAL PROSPERITY
 COSTS.

| Once upon time young man and a girl loved each other fondlv. He was poor, but bright. energetic and persevering. She was pretty. cheerful and amiable. They married. Their : friends thought they might have wait ed until their prospects were better. but they laughed prudence to scorn. and this is what happened as related in the october Bohemian: Two years after the marriage the wife met one of her friends. How are you getting along?" asked the friend.
 ''Very nicely" said the wife beamIng such a lovely baby. And, just think. we have thousand dollars in the bank and we don't owe a cent to anybody" Five years later the friend met her again.
 T hear you are doing very we'll" she said. some one told me your husband had ten thousand dollars invested in real estate"
 Why. yes" said the wife. but it's such a worry. There are repairs and taxes and interest on mortgages and one of the tenants has just moved out owing us a whole months rent Isn't it a shame?"
 Five years more elapsed and again the friend met her.
 'They tell me you're growing rich" she said.
 Wees, but I'm anxious about the stock market. My husband has fifty thousand dollars in stocks and he thinks they're going up, but I'm not so sure about 1t. Indeed, I didn't sleep wink last night"
 Five years later. Another meeting.
 From what I hear your husband will soon be a millionaire"

He says that in Germany. where the government con- trols the railroads. the pOstoffice. with mail, express. telegraph and telephone service. and other public utilities. the frequent shifting of the government of ficers from one place to another has caused the formation of a new organ iZatiOn.

tect the beautiful parks of the city, and against the building department. which, it is whispered. has failed to exercise a strict surveillance over the rapid construction of skyscrapers so that it is common gossip in many quarters that in some of the recently constructed tall buildings, only one half or two-thirds of the nuts and bolts prescribed by the demands of safety have been used. No investigation into these rumors has been made, and there probably will be none unless and until some fearful accident equal to the Quebec bridge horror shall stir the of ficials into action.
 The apathy of the public towards the affairs of the city is more than cOunterbalanced by the enormous in terest taken in national affairs. This is a straw that might give some indi
 cation regarding the chance of a states right issue as d live campaign article in 1908. Some of the leading newspapers of the metropolis print each day on their editorial pages, long columns of comment on the policies of the national administration. Each dictum from Washington is apparently followed with absorbing attention and to judge from the letters to the editors, is discussed and analysed in the circle of the home, the club or the saloon. For this reason the question of who the candidate of each great party shall be is one to which more space is allowed by the public press than has probably ever before been given to the subject at so early a stage in the cam paign. The fact that the New York Sun and other newspapers print al- most daily some item to recall Presi- dent Roosevelt's promise that he would not be a candidate and to insist that it should be adhered to, proves how great is deemed the danger that a re- nunciation of that announcement be- cause of popular clamor might be forthcoming. It is believed that should the President consent to run again he would select the most dramatic as well as the most opportune moment to make that concession to the people and that he will not be tricked into doing any thing hasty. He is too good, a poli- tician for that. The belief that some such place if even now being formu- lated in the Presidential mind is the reason why none of the other presi-

ST. LOUIS, Sept. I'll. Fisher Of $40
North Charming avenue has complained
to Assistant Circuit Attorney Don Som
mers that jealous woman had secret
ly concealed in the walls of his fiat
picture machine lenses and phono-
graphic sensitized plates, which were
making a complete record of every
thing said and done by himself and his
wife.
Assistant Circuit Attorney Sommers,
accompanied by detectives, left the
four courts at 80 o'clock, to search
the walls with a powerful magnifying
glass, in the hope of discovering the
hidden wires and lenses connected with
an apparatus which Fisher claimed had
been installed in the fiat.
Money Demanded
Late Monday night Fisher told Som
mers that someone tried to pry the
blind off a front window. When he
investigated the noise man and wo-
man outside told him that unless he
gave up 500" they would make pub
lie exposures of the records that they
had taken.
Fisher says that he and his wife be-
came suspicious when they continued
to hear uncanny buzzings in the walls,
both night and day. until the sounds
made them frantic. Later, he said, he
inves stigated and found picture ma
chine outfit and phonograph installed
there with an operator, who said he
had been employed by the former
sweetheart. Fisher says that the wo-

VISION IN PINK is
BARRED FROM BATHING
GIRLS BEACH COSTUME MAKES
CROWDS GASP
Fair Maid Essays Bath, but the As
founded Guards Frown on Her.
Doesn't Mind Stares
Bit

ATLANTIC CITY, Sept. 2.--The debut
on the boardwalk of mysterious blonde
adyenturess whose rather appalling cos
tune was a pink silk, snug fitting
bloomer suit, caused a sensation. The
suit was ostensibly for bathing purposes,
but to this use life guards refused to
permit it to be put and, shooing the fair
wearer away from the water, prevailed
upon her to leave the beach after board
walk patrolmen had politely closed their
eyes and permitted her to promenade the
crowded esplanade.
If the coppers were figuratively blind
folded however, thousands of prone
naders were not, and eyes popped open
In wonder at sight of the vivid bathing
costume, so dangerously near flesh tint.
Catcalls of a horde of pursuing young
sters, loud outlaws from callow youths
and EXPLANATIONS of dismay from as
founded matrons heralded the approach
of the apparition in gauze, and marked
the gauntlet of stares which she ira
versed for six blocks.
Come right back to the hotel, Henry"
commanded the wife of portly farmer,
whose eyes seemed rivited to the vision
in pink.
"Gosh, Nary exclaimed the agricul-
turist, drawing a deep breath, that
must be one of them circus riders broke
loose, for doggone II l ever seen any
such thing in public before"
The old man kept staring back over
his shoulder, as with repeated jerks upon
his sleeve his aged companion drew him
into side street, repeating to him that
they would take the next train home.
Above the Steel pier the pink robed
bather, apparently worried by the COM
ments of the boardwalk crowd, tripped
lightly down the steps to the beach and
started toward the surf. Captain Perker
saw the move and his eyes, too,
opened in surprise, not alone at the cos
tune but at the daring of the wearer
in violating the staid beach front laws
against flesh tinted bathing suits for
either SEX.
Three life guards headed off the bather
just at the waters edge. Sorry, MISS"
said one strapping lifesaver but you
can't get wet in them clothes. It's
against the laws. You'll have to go back
and put on a darker rig before you can
go in the surf"
"Oh, WE'LL" said the maiden in pink,
"just as you say" And with a pouting
lip and toss of the head she ran lightly
back under the boardwalk hailed cab
man at a street end and, climbing into
his vehicle, disappeared. The grace of
her departure influenced life guards to
credit the report that the stunt was the
escapade of New York belle to win a
wager.

WOMAN BEGS BREAD

Baking of One Goes to Neighbor at
100 Per Cent Profit, but the
Scheme Is Found
Out

BEAVER FALLS, Pa, Sept. 2.-7The
police are on the lookout for woman
who for weeks has been victimizing
residents of Ninth avenue. The stranger
would call at houses on one side of the
street and by telling of sick husband
and starving children secure nicely
baked loaves of bread. Then with this
bread neatly packed in clean basket
she would caH at the houses on the
other side of the avenue and by telling
how she "had to support a large fam
lily" would dispose of the bread at fancy
prices
The plan was highly successful until
last Saturday when Ninth avenue wo-
man called on another across the street
The hostess happened to remark:
''You know how I hate to bake? Well
1 have struck a bonanza. A poor woman
who bakes for a living brings me the
incest bread every few days. I'll show
you the loaf / bought this morning"

myself and this morning gave 1t to a poor
woman who has sick husband and

her to play the part of an elephant and
remain tied to stake in the miniature
menagerie, Tootsie seemed to understand
her position and played IL well.
III the youngsters were shy on animals
to act in the ring. Tootsie was pressed
into service. possibly hitched to wagon
or rudely constructed cart.
With Spot. her companion, many cir
Gus acts have graced the program OF
the Fifth street juvenile performances.
While Tootsie was an adept at hunt
ing birds and was tractable when
hitched to a wagon or other apparatus,
she could never be taught to jump
through a hoop or feats of like charac-
ter. In a foot race, whether in the ring
or on the street, Tootsie was the peer
of all of the neighborhood dogs.
In foot race with the boys, Tootsie
was always ready to take part IN the
sprint and always turned out winner.

rier in East st. Louis. Tootsie some-
times asked, in her own way, to be al
lowed to accompany her master on his
rounds. When her request was occa-
sionally granted, she followed the
mail carrier cart closely as her brown
and white spots jumped along the
streets.
Recently Tootsie and Spot were
taken out by Niederfeld for a roam at
the outskirts of the city. They en-
joyed the fun Intensely for some time,
and they started home. At Twenty
second street and Bond avenue Tootsie
lingo got on the car tracks and at the
same time pointed bird. In her dog
gish way she thought more of pointing
the bird than watching for street cars
and providing for her own safety.
While Tootsie stood motionless as bird
dogs do when they point bird a street

Geneva, May 4.-The oyerheating of

car from the train on which King Ed

clared by the newspapers here to have
been probably an attempt to wreck the
train before entering the Simplon tun-

ure of precautlon at Sion and 1t was
found that the grease box on one OF
the axles was missing. The train had
been runningi at a rate OF loo kilo-
meters an hour and the axle was white

further the axles might have fused and
the cars would then have been derailed.
