two or four little feet that will come tripping to
greet daddy
Isn't it too bad, inasmuch as they could just
well not, that some babies cannot to meet
their daddies and some daddies deny themselves the
pleasure of having baby run to meet them
In the panel is pictured the welcome home of the
fat dweller the rent-payer.
Children whose daddies bring them up on seventh
floors do not run to meet them.
They do not know whether the footstep the
stairs at the seventh fight is that of their daddy
or the daddy" across the hall.
The children in the big picture will get all the
sentiment out of John Howard Payne's song and
they will be better citizens for it.
The word Home" will mean HOME to them and
not several houses or fats.
They will remember the one place where father
used to take of his boots mother used to like to
sit; the one room in which they played the room
in which they gathered later on to weep.
The man who lives in the l0-story affair in the
panel may get the sentiment from Payne's song, for
HE may have been reared in a home his parents
OWNED, but HIS CHILDREN NEVER WILL.
Living in different house for every year Of his
or her age isn't going to leave much home sentiment
in the young men or young women who have spent
the most of their time adjusting themselves to
territory and new surroundings and who frequently
have to consult the city directory to find out where
they live.
The Payne song will not appeal to them very
strongly when they come to remember that home"
for them a moving van.
The Times wants Detroit to become city Of home
builders and home owners, of men and women who
can point to the roofs their heads and proudly
declare that every single in them is theirs
Such city will become city Of contented citi-
gems and this contentment will be reflected in the
tone of its moral health and in every end of its
government.
Get out of that stufy fat, Mr. Rent-Payer.
Be your own landlord Give your children the
advantage of HOME that will live and endure in
their memories when upon such endurance will rest
their own futures the future of the city the state
and the nation.
The man who owns his home views life and the
welfare of his city from entirely different angle
The interest of city is more HIS interest.
He becomes a factor in his city's affairs

These Are Told by Brand Whitlock

Brand whitlock, Toledo's literary
mayor, has a fund of entertaining
stories which stand him in good stead
when he is called on for an after
dinner speech. Here are a few of
those he sprung at the Church
clubs banquet In the Y. NJ. c. A.
Thursday evening:
A tramp once called at minister
door to beg for bite to eat aud the
minister, looking to the mans spirit
ual welfare, asked him TO repeat the
Lords prayer after his reverence. The
tramp got along fairly well. but In
the midst OF the prayer he suddenly
turned to the minister with the
query:

Asked how he would deal with a
burglar, IL one were caught In the act
OF footing his house, the mayor told
this story:
II once asked friend OF mine, who
was a burglar, what to do under those
circumstances, and he said:

AUTOS WITH DOG KENNELS.

The dog trotting contentedly along
between or just back of the rear
wheels Of a carriage is one of the
pleasant remembrances OF the time
when the horse was supreme, but
horse and dog were both rudely dis
turbed by the advent Of the automo-
bile.
Automobiles run too fast for a dog
TO trot along beside. and as there is
not room within the automobile for
anything larger than a lap-dog. the
coach-dog had to go.

order authorizing it's establishment

estimates that the report of the Com
missioner of the General Land flee for
the year ending June 30. 1909, will
show thh Can son Land Office still in the
lead and by il margin far exceeding the
present figures. Another significant
fact connected with the work of the
Carson City Land Office is that this
record is made in the face of a vast
amount of agricultural entries not in
cluded in the estimate and all of the
work is done in one single land Office
as against eight to ten in Colorado and
California. 1t speaks volumes for the
efficiency of the office.-Carson News.

Won his Life

A despatch of the 1st from Green
water, Cal. tells the following story of
death OH the desert:
Two men, II Early dead, were crawling
through the hot desert sands OH their
hands and KIN 1es followed by donkey
almost in as bad condition as them
selves. They talked over their condi-
ton and one Davis Eldrige, son of B.
Eldridge, the president of tho National
Sewing Machine and Bicycle Company
of Illinois, proposed to his companion,
Malapai Mike, a famous desert char
acter, that they toss up coin and the
winner take the donkey and ride to
safety if possible.
This is the story that was brought in
t)day by IN tlapai Nike" who was
Geiirious and rlving and almost dead.
After he had been taken in hand by
the physicians and brought to his senses
he told the horrible story. He says that
he and E!drige started for TELESCOPE
Peak to invesoi gate water power site
for the Biockington company of Boston
and upon returning the burro ridden by
Eldride collapsed. They struggled
along until bJ5h were exhausted and
then Eldridge made the proposition to
toss the coin AMI the winner to take the
burrJ and lelye the other. Eldriye
Tipped the cDim and when they had
crawled to if, it was found that Mike
was the winner. Eldrige already faint
ing and near dnlth turned back on the
trail. Malapi Mike, himself nearly
insane and aIm )st dead, accepted the
sacrifice mad by his friend because
they were in such condition that
neither cared whether they lived or
died. Maiapaj Mike won his life by
calling for He IDS when the coin was
Tipped.

RECORD OE WASTE

The extravagant and useless waste Of
the public funds by the administration
at Washington is appalling when the
actual figures are set down for consider
ton. Under republican rule the
receipts through indirect taxation,
principally on account of an unjust and
unequal tariff, have increased by leaps
and bounds. Carefully and studiously
the republican managers of our govern
ment, both in congress and the white
house, have kept the expenditures
beyond the receipts. There must be no
surplus. and therefore no economy. a
reasonable saving might furnish an
argument for the lessening of the rob
berry by the tariff barons, whose crea-
lures in congress will take good care
that this does not come to pass. The
Roosevelt administration was worse
than any of its predecessors, Taft's is
worse than Roosevelt's

cost of running the government under

of ore from Hamilton by way of Ely
