Baths in the Street.

A method of providing baths for the
poor of the congested districts of large
cities at minimum expense and in
convenience has been devised by a
Kansas City man The simple appar.
atus is composed of several lengths of
two inch iron pipe with a water plug
connection on one end and four COM
mon shower bath sprays arranged at
the other, the whole costing only IS
to make. and the baths are given in
the street.
Each afternoon in summer the an
paratus is carried through the thick
ly populated part of the city, the at
tendant stopping every block or SO to
connect it with water plug. The boys
soon learn to watch for it and to pre-
pare for the bath by donning, if they
see fit, still older clothes. In this way
several thousand Kansas City children
were given a street shower bath once
a day during the summer months. The
city provided the necessary water
free. Men. women and even horses as
we'll as the children, also have the
privilege of a bath.-Popular Mechan-
les.

Work of the Lauqhmakers.

The most cursory survey of the
worlds literature, dramatic or other
wise, will convince anyone that the
profession of humorist or true comedi-
an is one of the most exacting ever
known, says the Denver News. The
jokesmith may get momentary laugh
from an audience that is willing to
take the will for the deed. But the
man who would set his name among
those who have made permanent addi-
lions to the worlds fun must have a
list of specifications for a permit to
make a road through a Pinchot re-
serve. He must have insight, sympa.
thy, knowledge of character He must
have a sense for fact that is felt be.
meath his ARREST webs of fancy. He
must have an ear for the right word
that no correspondence school can
confer. 1t is easier to be a wit than
to be humorist; easier to laugh at
people than to laugh with them, or
make them laugh at themselves.

Man, the New Creator.
What is Man?


There is word of prophecy con-
ceining him. If Niagara suggests the
old gods surly and mean to us-ward,
steel-making contemns them, is the
opinion of Eugene Wood in an article
on steel-making in Success Magazine
Thor with his hammer, Jove with his
thunderbolts, Hercules with the orig
inal Big Stick-they couldn't hold
their job at steelnsaking. go to the
office and get your time" would be
what the "pusher" would tell them.
The only mythic figure that the steel
industry suggests is that bold and res
olute, that unconquered and uncon-
querable spirit, whom Millions reluc-
tant pen was forced to make the hero
of Paradise Lost" The flame, the
fervent heat, the rolling smoke re-
minds us of him. But most of all the
mighty works that are done therein
recall that prophecy of his (if Edens
serpent be the allotrope of Lucifer):
"Ye shall be as gods "-and more also.
What is Man? The New Creator.

You know what coaling in modern

or target practice, between ship and
ship, between nation and nation. Every
man-o-war gang that handles the
hoists and coal bags knows the best

cific fleet, just as baseball FAN

test of coaling, with crew wagering

PURPOSE NEVER MADE CLEAR
Probably No One Except Aaron Burr
Really Knew What He
Planned to Do.

There is to this day not little ele-
ment Of mystery about what was
known as Burr's conspiracy. Soon
after his duel with Alexander Hamil-
ton, in which the latter got his death
wound, Burr was indicted for murder
both in New York and New Jersey.
But before the warrant could be
served on him he made his escape to
the then primitive west.
Burr apparently made little or no eff
fort to conceal his identity after get
ting out of the reach of the authorities
for the murder of Hamilton. In truth
he apparently was inclined to look
upon himself as something of ma
tional hero, suffering from the pref
udices of politics.
In the course of his extensive west
ward tour Burr Matched plot for
some sort of gigantic, visionary and
mysterious empire over which he was
to become the ruler. His real pur-
pose has never been definitely known,
even those joining in the enterprise
being kept in more or less ignorance
of its scope. Some historians have
the impression that his purpose was to
separate the Mississippi valley from
the rest of the union and thereon to
found new country. Other historians
say that his real object was to raise
an army and conquer Mexico, thus
making himself the ruler of that coun-
try.
The headquarters of this plot finally
became Blennerhassett island, in the
Ohio river, the owner of the island,
Hartman Blennerhasset, becoming one
of Burr's co.conspirators. In 1906 Burr
gathered about him there group of
reckless adventures of his own ilk
and set out to march to the region of
Texas, ostensibly for purposes of colo
nization.
President Jefferson Immediately is-
sued a proclamation warning all citi-
zens of the country against joining
the expedition, having been informed
that the real object of it was not a
peaceable one. Burr was finally ar
rested By the presidents orders and
sent a captive to Virginia, where he
was indicted on charges of conspiring
against the government. Blennerhas-
set also was captured, but was subse-
| quently set free when Burr was ac-
| quilted of the charge.

tanned the second contention of At

to the effect that it has not shown
that Mullen is a fugitive or that he

him to bail in the sun of $1,000
