Chicago, May 31.-All the Rialto is
giving of prodigious steam of
words. The Rialto has been unex-
Ipectedly confronted with a problem in
ethics and impatiently is awaiting
the advent of some philosopher, like
! Locke, to provide the answer. Briefly
stated although on the Rialto it
mas never been briefly stated-the
problem is this: Should the chorus
girl with a "figger,' who appears
nightly before an admiring throng
in pale, lavender tights, balk before
the suggestion that she appear in
"directore' gown.
The question is not purely hypo-
thetical after all 1t relates to the
experiences of Miss Ida DOerge the
triggest girl in Joe" Webers chorus.
On account OF the fact that when
nature set about making Miss Do
erge it selected about the best
mold in its repertoire, Weber was
particularly anxious that this young
woman should wear the directoire
gown on Saturday on State street.
Miss Doerge is the only woman in
the company who doesn't resort to
draperics In the last act she wears
those pale lavender tights, Mi-s
Ida Doerge has never flinched be-
! fore this hard necessity. She says
it's her business and the way she
makes her living, and besides is not
a thing of beauty "a JOY forever?"
That about represents Miss Ida's
idea of ethics or aesthetics-what
you will.
Well. on Tuesday of last week.
Joe" Webers press agent had bril-
liant idea. He thought OF all the
space that he might obtain gratis
in the morning papers if only he
could get Miss Doerge to display
her loveliness in a drectoire gown
in public The result was that, just
as Miss Doerge was getting her
beauty sleep, there came a ring on
the telephone at her lodgings. 2l9
Dearborn avenue. Would Miss Ida
please get right up and come down
to the theater and see Mr.. Weber?
She would.
When she arrived out of breath,
thinking that an early rehearsal had
been called or that she was about
to take the place of the star, who
had been incapacitated, the plan was
unfolded to her.
But it will show my ankles" she
objected
Sure" said Joe, you amt asham-
ed of them, are you? They look all
right in the chorus
After she had been subjected TO
some further Establishments, Miss
Doerge was induced to visit a gown
maker, where the frock was being
fabricated She was hustled into a
dressing room and tucked and pinned
into the Paris creation. Then she
strolled out
The first thing that caught her
eye as she tripped in front of mir
ror was certain length of open
work hosiery.
"The thing is scandalous,' she
said, on the point of tears. IT'S true
wear tights in the chorus, but
have to draw the line somewhere.
could never appear on the street in
such thing"
"You think It over" soothed Joe
"Its a great chance"
At this, Miss Doerge fla:ed up anc
said that it was an insult TO any shoN
girl to expect her to appear in sucl
scant attire, and she wouldn't do IT,
so there That same night a messen
ger brought her the following note

gagement with me will terminate II

Your Sins Will Find

Sin exacts the penalty, sooner or
later. Tho a man have wealth,
genius, fame; everything that life
can give, but has not clear con-
science he is wretched and pitiable,
for one day his sin will find him
out.

cynic, this is a world oflaw. When

short, the train dispatcher must, be
a man of large capacities and equal
to any emergency.
Next comes the engineer, and
there are few men connected with
a railroad who has SO many re-
sponsibiities as the average engi-
neer. In his hands rests the safety
of the train and the lives of the
passengers. He must keep posted
on the schedule of all regular and
special trains, and manage to
bring his train in on time. Acct
dents. such as rear or head on col
lisions, landslides or washouts,
must be guarded against. Attic
an accident may happen, thereby
causing lin to stop his train, he
must Immediately send- out flag
mon to guard against further mis-
hap. It requires talented persons
in every department of a railroad,
and these men are often called up
on to display a great amount OF
tact in the discharge of their duties.
This is true of every person in the
employ of railroad, proving that
talent is one thing while tact is
everything. ). u.

Talent Us. Tact.

Paper Read Before the ChautauQitd Circle.
1t is the purpose of the writer IN
connection with this paper to deal
with the talent and tact as shown
by the various men connected with
one of the greatest arteries Of this
country's commerce-our steam
railroads.. The first person to be
considered Is, the promoter Of the
new line. He shows his tact by
bringing the idea before the CAPT.
talists and convinces them Of the
financial prospect of a railroad
thru this new country. To finance
the project, a company is incor-
porated for the purpose OF making
the survey of the proposed line.
For this duty corps of civil en-
gineers are put in the field to locate
and stake out the route. Then
comes the tactful right-of-way man
who, thru his shrewdness in deal
ing with the land owners, secures
the right of way and townsights
with as little outlay as possible.
Having secured the right fway
and completed the surveying, the
contracts for the grading are let.

It does not seem just that the
innocent should endure the pun
ishment visited on the guilty, but
ne man lives to himself alone.
We are all extricably eptangled
with others, and our acts have con-
sequences that spread out in
constantly widening circle, en-.
bracing more and more people,
those that are nearest and dearest
to us suffering the most keenly.
It is true now as it was first said
that the wages of sin is death, not
always the physical death; but
death always-death in the heart.

has ruined life seemed alive but
in reality all that had actually
lived In him was dead, killed by
sin in which he wallowed. Later
physical death came to him, and
with it death 10 his fame, shame
and grief worse than death to his

never be forgotten.

your lie and Iot-the ice does not
melt as powder fashes-the sun
does not set as candle drops into

Take time, my boy. Don't hurry
too fast. Go slow, especially till
you know the road, or become ac-
quainted with your team. BE care
full. Mark the rough, dangerous
places you have passed, and shun
them hereafter. One-feather will
not break camels back-but it
will help. 1t is easy to succeed If
you but will it. Make up your
mind and persevere. Mind your
own business, Walter. and then, my
boy, you are happy. Don't stop
to club wiffets Ito retail gossip
to tell your secrets but go on,
minding your own business, leav-
ing the question of reward, life,
happiness, and heaven, with God
and the beautiful future.
And remember, Walter, my boy,
that few really care for you on
general principles. You are
good orange so long as society's
children can squeeze juice out of
you-no longer. Neighbors never
care for your troubles they have
enough of their own. So with
secrets. They will let yours loose,
and keep theirs in the stable. That
is if they are wise. And they
always keep the incest fruit for
home consumption-giving the
poor that which they will not use
themselves. And, Walter, my boy,
that is much the way they give
advise-and while you eat they
laugh at your poverty and are dis
gusted with your appetite.
Men sport with another's sor-
rows or troubles as cat plays
with mouse-only sorrow when
death puts an end to the torment.
Men care for you, my boy, as they
care for a horse that kicks. If he
let's fly, quick and sharp, they keep
clear of his heels.
Remember, my boy, that you
are your own master or your own
slave. Keep your pluck. Hold
up your nerve. If others don't
care for you, you are double
headed fool to care for them. Help
yourself-light your own lamp
make your own position-shoot
your own gun-look out for your
self and keep a cleAr conscience
be independent, then let the world
howl, laugh, or whine, as it pleases.
After it has done both it may come
to respect you if you have the

With the fragrance OF the posies
And the buzzing of the presidential bees,
Many weird and curious sound
From the party stamping ground
Comes a ripping everywhere a-down the breeze.

This "The World" is harping on the G string fiat

Scarcely need passing glance,
Beside the quiz-What ls IemocratY'
And of answers there's apenty;
While Marse Henry murmurs gently.

Come in We sinners and be reconcied."

Of struggle for the glory,

There's Scuft10 and tuSSle,
For the leaders have agreed to disagree.
There's Ohio's favorite son,
Who may pick the sugar plum,
And then may not-from Main to Ilnoy'
There are others so they tell
That could wear the toga well;
But the ships adrift, "Larboard Watch Ahoy!'
And the gloomy, third-term spectre
At the side of each elector,
Is the bogy of the great convention hall;
While the grand, old dinner pail
Once the slogan and the hail.
Is the picture that is turned toward the wall

At the gambols and the wes
Of his children on their quadriennal spree;
Knowing well beneath it all
That if ever he should call,

will not do it. Bank stock will
not do. it. Property stolen from
the poor, ignorant, and unfortu-
nate of earth will never bring a
competency. Happiness never
rides in such carriage. Man can
do anything. If you want a for
tune, labor for it. If you wish
influence, there is but one way to
get it. If you wish to lead, show
your qualities. Do not be in a

The engineers and draughtsmen of
the bridge department are prepar-
ing plans and specifications for the
several bridges, their superstruc-

many test reports on various types
