St. Louis Boasts Counterpart of the
Young Western Philosopher.

st. Louis.-St. Louis has a second
Mary McLane. Those who remember
some of the worldly, cynical aphorisms
uttered by that young western philoso-
pher are convinced that her counter
part exists in st. Louis in Miss Made
line Wienken, a pretty blonde 10 years
old, who has advanced ideas about the
modern man.
She also has literary aspirations,
thinking, as did Miss McLane, that her
ideas are good enough to be sold to
the public

man." she says, "a man who has some
else besides twaddle and rubbish; a
man who is not always trying to make
love to every girl he meets, feel like
saying, Thank heavens for this real,

If there is any variety of genus homo
that Miss Wienken detests 1t is the
"gilded youth with the Turkish Gig
arctic commonly known as molly
coddle.'"
"A girl Is just naturally moved by
compassion to handle these creatures
with care" she says. And the worst
part of it is the poor things never real

actually preach about other real men,
just to try and get off the impression
that they themselves have a backbone
as big as stick in an umbrella.

For several days Judge Bradford has

DETROIT "NEWSiE" is EIGHTY
FIVE YEARS OLD.
For More Than Half a Century He
Has Supplied Customers with
Their Favorite Publications,
But Patrons Grow Fewer.

Detroit, Mich.-Bowed under the
step less active than when as a young
man half century ago he started
supplying lovers of German literature
with their favorite publications, Mi
chael Bohnlein is familiar figure
about town.
The old man. who for 55 years has
peddled German humorous publica
tions, is a universal favorite with those
who come in contact with him, for he
possesses a keen sense of humor and
his mind Is as active as ever. Armed
with satchel in which his stock of
literature is carried Bohnlein starts
out daily, as has been his wont for so
many years. visiting the various sec
tions of the city and catering to the
wants Of his patrons.
Each year sees the beat traversed
by Bohnlein grow shorter, and the
reason therefor lends added pathos to
the career of the man whose closing
days are marked with the same fideli-
ty to duty that enabled him when
younger to work up lucrative trade
and firmly establish himself with an
extended clientele.
Times have changed. The old men
who migrated from the fatherland to
Detroit are passing away and in their
stead is growing up new generation
that cares little or nothing for the hui
NOR of the country from which their
fathers came. Gradually the old mans
customers are decreasing, and the day
may be not far distant when-but

The only answer was shrug Of the

George from Bavaria. When the latter
was alive they conducted a store in
