WHAT THE PAPERS ARE SAYING.

WHAT THE PAPERS ARE SAYING.
Chaffe Review: Uneasy lies the head
that wears a frown.
Raleigh Christian Advocate: A good
religious creed: Christ, charity, compassion.
Terrell Transcript: The charity that
opens it's hand and closes its mouth is the
best.
Missouri Paper: True merit is like a
river, the deeper it gets the less noise it
makes.
Belle Review: Everything comes if a
man will wait-even his wife who is dress
ing for the theater.
Chillicothe Tribune: The man who is
willing to face failure is the man who gen.
orally makes a bowling success in life.
Atlanta Constitution: After laboring a
lifetime some men reach the mountain top
only to look so small to the world below it's
hard to distinguish them with spy glass.
Beaver Herald: Of all European cities,
Rome has most frequently been in the
hands Of enemies. 1t has been entered or
sacked more than forty times since 800
BIC.
Bolivar Press: Last year the exports of
manufactured goods amounted to $780,
100000. The output of our mills and fac
tories exceed those of Great Britain and
Germany combined, and they are our
strongest competitors.
Springfield Republican,: ''Do women
gossip more than men?' asks an exchange.
They do, but that's because they have
more time and not because they have the
stronger inclination for it. An idle man
can beat woman gossipping seven days
out Of every week,
Brownwood Banner-Bulletin; There is
not any kind Of success that comes without
a proportionate effort. This does not apply
merely to the laborer on the farm Or in the
work shop, the man who tolls with his
hands, but it is especially true Of those
who work with their brains. There is no
success for the chronic idler, there is none
judged. There are people who can afford
from financial standpoint, perhaps. to do
nothing, but if they do, life is a failure for
them. The idler is unhappy and must be.
Trenton Sun: No character is complete
till it is swayed and elevated by genuine
piety. No heart is fully happy till it is
imbued with the spirit of piety. No life is
all it may and should be till its motives are
baptised in this waters of piety. No soul
is saved till it is transformed by this graci-
Gus spirit Of this daughter of the skies.
This divine grace should be sought by
every young man and woman and cultiyat-
ed with the most assiduous care, for with
out it we are destitute of the highest beauty
and divinest charm and power of manhood
or womanhood
Shreveport Caucasian: The people are
accountable for the conditions which are
discreditable to the politicians or individ-
uals holding or seeking an Office through
the sacrifice of friends and principles and
the debauchery of the electorate. What
is needed in Louisiana to-day are men of
worth, broad guaged men, honest men who
will not make trade and traffic of politics,
men who will devote their attention and
their energy to the welfare of the State
and not to self-aggrandizement by tricks
and schemes which cannot bear the test of
honest scrutiny.

In most cases II Is good thing that

APARTMENT HOUSES.

SmaN Cities Are Beginning to Erect
Then In Greater Number.
In Paris nearly every family lives in
fiat. 1t Is not at all unusual to find
men who are we'll to do dwelling in
second-story apartments over q store.
The rise in land values has reached a
point where the earning power of the
average individual is not great enough
to permit his family to occupy a sepa-
rate house. The same Is coming to be
true in all the larger cities. This is H.
Illustrated by the fact that in Chicago,
although agents and some others have
been declaring that there were too
many flats, the latter are increasing
at an astonishing rate. For the last
year so per cent of all the new build
ings erected in that city were flats,
and AZ per cent Of the capital invested
in new buildings was put into the
same kind of structures.
In considering the development Of
the apartment house the expert finds
some of the causes in the methods of
design and construction. "The earlier
fiat buildings of a decade ago" he says,
were unsatisfactory affairs. They
were small, with few conveniences and
so slightly separated one from the 9TH
er that not only the odors from one
fiat pervaded all the fats in the house,
but the occupants of one were con-
stantly disturbed by the noises of their
neighbors in the adjoining fiat. Then

and passages, and generally had many
Inconvenience to contend with that

guage and improper expletives.
But the genius Of the architect and
the experience of the fiat owners soon
came to their rescue, and the modern
fiat building has become a model of
convenience and often elegance. In
fact, decorated entrances and snowy
facades are becoming the rule. The
kitchens are furnished with gas ranges
and refrigerators. Laundry fixtures
and laundry dryers are supplied. Elec-
trio alarm mail boxes receive the car
rier's gift and announce its arrival,
automatic telephones take the place of
stairs and electric gas lighters dis
pense with matches.
The dWeller In a modern fiat is as
much isolated from his neighbor as is
he who lives in an old-fashioned house
in row. All these improvements and
many more still coming make a fiat a
desirable home for any economically
inclined family, be they rich or poor

In those days the real estate bust

real estate it must be because the own

would consequently sacrifice such
property If the occasion required it.
This is probably why he established

S|OEL|GHTS ON TRIAL
Intimate Personal Studies of
Some of the Characters in
the Criminal Case.

New York, March 4.-To start with,
those passes that you used to get into
the court room! suppose one could
get 500 easily for the little slip of
pasteboard which says admit bearer
through the police lines," everywhere
except at a fire. You won't find any
mention made of Stanford White, or
Harry Thaw, or the little blue-clad
Evelyn Nesbit upon these entry slips.
What will you see when you get in
side? Oh, an ordinary court room
packed with all sorts of people bent
upon all sorts of curiosity; politicians
in many degrees of sleek, animal we'll
being; women with the tense lines of
morbidity upon their faces; reporters,
artists, young lawyers, very stupid
looking jury, fat William Taft of
Judge, and the principals in the case.
The reporters, foregathered from all
the corners of the earth, get short
shrift in the matter of accommoda-
tons. They actually sit at table"
which is nothing more nor less than
a 2x4. The artists, who are there to
sketch Evelyn Nesbit in as great
variety of poses as they can, are not
allowed to carry their materials with
them, consequently they make thumb
nail drawings on little pieces of paper
and finish the sketches when they get
back to the newspaper Offices, depend
ing upon photographs to obtain like
ness. Out in the rotunda great wires
are temporarily hung from the ceiling
to give the telegraphers connection
with the postal cables. The place is
amply garnished with shorthand ex-
perts.
Lawyer D. M. Delmas, who has set
the town by the ears because of his
legal astuteness, is slick, gray old
man who sits we'll down in his chair,
balancing himself upon the extreme
end of his spinal column and the ex-
IRENE tip of his Uranium. His veined
hands are held in front of him while
questioning witnesses, almost in the
attitude of prayer. His voice is low,
soothing, unctuous-the voice of
Uriah Heep-of man who defers and
condescends and begs pardon adnau-
seam. He is undoubtedly cunning, and
crafty, and successful, but he gives
one the impression of OVERRIDING his
politeness, or rubbing the ointment of
his suavity onto all Corners the least
bit too thick. He admits his ignor-
ance of New York statutes. When
twitted by the young and bristing Jer-
