proved to be NJ. Gregori, military eG-

and, drawing "a revolver, fired two
shots at Maj. breyfus, wounding him
in the right arm.
Dreyfus was standing Immediately
to one side of President Fallieres. At
first it was thought hat the shooting
was an attempt to kill President Fall
Heres, but the vituperative utterances
of Gregori Immediately after he had
fired showed that he had meant to kill
only Dreyfus. He was surrounded by

WHY is FATHER WoRRIED7

there's no pipe dream about the Pullman. It's the
real thing. What would the authorities say in g
large city If they found house with hunks, cur
tanned hunks that, cUrtained against the air
along the walls OF a small room, hunks capable Of
accommodating tweuty-four persons of both sexes?
Why. they'd put stop to that lodging house at
once. Tenement house reform abolished all those
promiscuous and crowded sleeping apartments long
ago. But this Pullman man has never walked up. He
seems to have dreamed himself: IF l only
charge persons q high enough rate and make them
believe that my customs are hnmutable I'll make
a success Of this thing" That was his dream.
And his dream came true. People Of ali sexes walk
right up TO the Pullman Office. and they hand out
two, three five and ten dollars for the privilege Of
being laid a shelf for night or two.
Will you try 10 imagine q self-respecting woman
IN her home going behind a curtain that does not
hide her figure and undressing ;here, while three
or four strange men sit in the same room talking
reading magazines?
You know she would refuse to retire IN the first
place, and. f. at last. overcome by fatigue, she
felt that she had TO, she would ask the men II
they would retire also-to some other place And
they, being gentlemen, would do so. But when she
enters Mr. Pumans ObIong box with the double
OF cubby holes either side OF il and g
narrow aisle down between them she is hypnotized,
and without thinking of the men who are sitting
reading n the only reservation not yet converted
into beds. she pulls the dTapery Of her couch
around her and gets Ie-dy TO go by-by as fast as
one can who Is bumped into every and then by
