NEED NEVER
BE WITHOUT BEAUX
IN CHICAGO WHERE MEN OF ANY
DESCRIPTION MAY BE
HIRED AS ESCORT.

CHICAGO, Sept. 5.-Let no fair
maiden, no spinster, no matron, no
anybody, wander about Chicagos
streets alone, forlorn and lost. The
time has arrived in Chicago when you
can hire a dress suit, frock coat
business suit or any other class OF
male attire with a man of any descrip-
ton in it, for 81 an hour. Since things
are coming your way, ladies, let It be
known to you how this Utopia may be
acquired.
F. f. Elmer, formely of San Fran
cisco, is responsible for it. On Dear
born street you will find him with
his remarkable establishment, known
as an Escort Bureau" the first of its
kind in Chicago.
You need not be afraid. Your es-
cort can sit with you at the Annex and
dine in as correct manner as any
gentleman you ever met. But you
must, thereafter, properly see the
cashier yourself. He pays for moth
ing.
Here we have the experience OF a
beautiful young woman who went 10
this remarkable place and sought out
lone dollar per" escort.
"Will it be possible for you to send
nice-looking escort to the theater
with me?' asked the young woman.
Certainly" said Mr.. Elmer; "biond'
brunette, bald, fat or thin?'
Thin" came the startling answer
In response to this came the DE-
scription of the man. a real Gibson
fellow.
Really a delightful experience
said she afterward. I'VE girls need
no longer feel that We have to depend
upon, our young men acquaintance
A fve-spot will get an escort OF the
finest finish.'

RIVER.
over 10000 SAeres.-Result OF su-
preme Courts Decision In the
Muneie Pulp Case

OF great interest and importance
to the state was the decision rendered
bv the supreme court at Jackson sat
urday in the case Of the state against
the Muncie Pulp company BY this
decision the state will ultimately re-
cover title TO about 10000 acres OF
the richest soil in the world, finely
timbered. A most interesting ques-
ton OF law was involved In the case
and the decision, which was rendered
by Judge Shields, is an exceptionally
able and logical presentation OF the
law.
The legal question involved was
whether or not the boundary line OF
the states of Tennessee and Arkansas
was in the middle of the channel OF
the Mississippi river as the waters
the Mississippi river as the waters now
flow, or whether 1t was In the middle
between the banks ofsthe river where
boundaries of the two states was nxed
and defined. The court held that the
separating line is midway the channel
or bed of the river and equidistant
from the visible and established banks
This sustains the claims OF the state
and while only 10000 acres was In
yolved in the case at bar the principle
established will result in giving the
people of the state title to about 10000
acres of land. This suit was brought
as a test case and others will be at
once instituted by Attorney General
Gates for the remainder of the lands
In controversy.
It will be recalled that at the De-
ginning Of the legislative session Oh
1903. Attorney General Gates brought
to the attention of Gov. Frazier the
question of the recovery of half OF the
old bed of the Mississippi river at
Devils Bend, in Upton county. Tne
governor in turn called the attention
of the legislature to the matter, with
the result that Attorney General Gates
brought the suit at bar.-Nashyille

RICE AS FOOD

While it is well-nigh impossible foi
any South Carolinian really to enjoy
dinner without rice, this condition
does not by any means apply to the
rest OF the population Of the country
1t has long been a source OF dlscour
agement to the men engaged in the
rice industry, from the farmer who
raises the article of food to the mer
chant who retails it, that it's merits
are less appreciated in this country
than in lands on the other side Oh
both oceans. Reliable statistics show
that the annual consumption OF rice
per capita in Europe is fourteen
pounds, while in the United States II
shrinks to the insignificant average OF
three and one-half pounds. This
seems very absurd, for, as the State
has so often contended, backed by the
most reliable authority, rice. besides
being extremely palatable, Is the most
nourishing of cereals.
DR.. w. H. Wiley, Chief Of the Blu
reau of Chemistry, was once asked:
What do you consider the best food
to eat?" 1t took DR.. Wiley no thought
to reply. He answered:
II think man ought to choose his
own rations. Lots of people are
vegetarians. think we eat too
much meat for health. For the sus-
tenance of physical exertion If you
have hard work to do there is moth
ing better than starch or sugar. The
cereal-eating nations cam endure more
physical toll than the meat-eating ma
lions. This Is not the accepted view,
but it is true You cannot tire out a
Japanese who eats rice. He will draw
you all around the town on pound OF
rice. and he Is as fresh at the close
of the day as when he started. You
would not do that on a pound Of meat
to save your life"
Failure to properly advertise the
South's greatest product is RESPONSE
BILE in some measure for its lack OF
success as a food in this country, and
another reason assigned by some is
the manner In which rice is packed
and handled. Is. c. State.

PRESIDENTIAL
BEAR HUNT
IDEAL SPOT is LOUISIANA READY
FOR T.-PANTHERS
THERE, TOO.

BATON ROUGE, La, Sept. 8.--The
section in which the Presidents pro-
posed bear hunt will probably take
place is near here and is primitive in
it's wildness. In addition to bears
occasional panthers are still found in
this country.
The Choctaw swamp, one OF the
best bear hunting preserves in the
State, Is in many respects semi
tropical jungle. The obstacle 1t has
presented to civilization and settle
ment are witnessed by the abandoned
line of the Louisiana Railway, as well
as by animals and dense growths
There are also many other parts OF
Louisiana where the President might
find good bear hunting.

MAMMOTH
EXPENDITURES
BUDGET FOR NEW YORK CITY
AMOUNTS TO $14o, 100000.


NEW YORK, Sept. 6.-Some idea
of how this city has grown may be
gathered from the fact that the ex-
penses of government, as figured out
by the various heads of departments,
for the coming year will in round
numbers be about $140,O00,00. This is
considerably more than was required
to run the whole United States gov
eminent in 1876 and shows a reckless
ness of expenditure under Mcclellan
that eclipses anything ever heard of
in municipal history.
1t has been figured out by statis-
ticians that at least $40,000,OOO of this
huge amount will go for graft and l
think the estimate is a modest one.
Never had the city known such q
carnival of plumber.
Men under Mcclellan are growing
rich over night and when the atten-
ton of the Mayor is called to the
spectacular rise in wealth of some of
his closest advisers he merely shrugs
his shoulders and says: Il don't be-
lieve it."
The only item in the budget this
year that will not be seriously criti-
cised by the taxpayers as the $4,000
900 that is asked for the public
schools. Under Superintendent Max
well, the New York public schools
have gone from nearly the lowest
stage Of efficiency in the country to
the highest. The teachers are the
best paid in this or any other country
and they are appointed without the
slightest political influence. All that
is required of them Is to pass the so
called Maxwell examination" II
they can do this their place Is secure.
The result of this liberal policy has
been to draw to New York the very
best teaching talent in the country.
1t. comes hard sometimes ON the ma
tive New Yorker, but as it inures to
the benefit Of public education there
is little or no criticism of the Maxwell
system.
The stock market 10 grinding along
on a more rational basis and there is
little or no talk of panic. The slump
has been a good thing for men en-
gagged in legitimate business. 1t has
a vast lot of money that the
banks had tied up In loans on these
highly watered securities and given
the public chance to borrow money
at reasonable rates
The outlook for business generally
Is good. The crops will be all that
has been expected, not bumper crops,
but good ones, and the prices such

THE SPENCER sEEDLEss APPLE
An Expert investigates 1t and Makes
Flatterlng Report.

There has been much adverse criti-
cism of the Spencer Seedless Apple,
notably in the Rural New Yorker and
some of it's satellites. The opinion of
a recognized horticulturist, who has
made thorough examination of the
apple, being allowed free range in the
orchard where they are grown, should
be valuable to those who are thinking
of planting these trees, as we'll as to
those who by reason of the criticisms
have been deferred from purchasing.
A company was recently organized in
Canada to handle the Spencer Seedless
Apple trees, but the adverse criticisms
alarmed the organizers, and they re-
fused to proceed further with the nego-
tiations until they could have the prop
osition thoroughly examined by an ex-
perienced horticulturist of reputation OF
their own selection. This was readily
assented to, and as a result the Hon.
John DRYDEN, who for more than TWEEN
tv wears was minister of agriculture Tor
the province of Ontario, was selected to
examine and report on this apple.
The Hon John Dryden's name is
household word in Canada and Great
Britain, and his reputation is such as
will carry great weight wherever he is
known. His report is most fiattering
and an unqualified endorsement OF the
apple. A copy of it is sent free upon
applicat'on to the Spencer Seedess
Apple Company, Everett, Washington.
