in our faces today and left 9 very per-

foot of snow which, under the plslg-
full influence Of the wind, promises To
close up travel in the country districes

time and the street railroad was able
to plough its way through in good

A LIBERAL MORALITY.

Joseph Widener, the young Philadel-
phia millionaire, was entertaining a
party Of Anglo-Americans at luncheon
at the Ritz in London.
The day was mild and sunny and
the French windows of the beautiful
restaurant stood open on the Green
park and Picadilly. A limousine glided
swiftly past Devonshire house; well
known American millionaire sat in the
sumptuous car, and Mr.. Widener, nod
ding toward the man, said to his
neighbor:
"That is Bonns. He made $4,000
900 last year."
els he honest?" the neighbor, an
Englishman, inquired.
"Well, John" he replied. "Bonns'

Eisk,s Price Of Lies.

James Fisk, Jr., had been a peddler
from his boyhood days through New
England towns. His father was ped
der and James had been brought up in
that life, absorbing all the bluff, nerve
and fiashy display characteristic of the
travelling vendors of Yankee notions
and tinware, who were conspicuous in
the early days, before merchandising
had developed to perfect system. 1t
may be said of Fisk that he had been
a prince of peddlers and his wagon
was spectacular in appearance, being
painted in the brightest colors to
which he drove four well groomed
horses that always attracted large
crowd of rural admirers wherever he
went,
A story of an incident of the days
when he was travelling with his father
illustrates Fisk's standards of moral
honesty. An old woman charged Fisk
ST., with having misrepresented the
value and quality of a piece of calico
sold at 1871 cents yard.
"Well, now" said Fisk, Jr, 81 don't
think father would tell a lie for 121s
cents, though he might tell eight OF
EN- for a dollar" James, Jr., had grad
uated from a peddler to a merchant
and had accumulated $4,000 when he
came to Wall street in 1865.-Moody's

The realm Of beauty and the realm

to promote means of pleasuse for men

The pleasures that men and women

PEOPLES PULPIT
The City Beautiful.

Editor Courier:
Signs multiply that the cities of this
land are more and more disposed to
think seriously and act wisely in be-
half of their outward appearance. With
the advance of civilization, with the
increasing general appreciation of
beauty, are cities coming to see what
the next forward step should be? To
build and fill great stores and eleva-
tors, to erect here and there, a sky
scraper, in total disregard Of architect
ual uniformity, to leave ugly bill
boards with flaming advertisements in
close proximity to handsome blocks, is
now to be a defiance of the just laws
of beauty and of order. Even the fac
tories, railway stations and the indus,
trial plants of the city must wherever
possible be beautif1ed with vines, flower
beds and shrubbery.
This tendency means also realiZa.
ton that beauty is quite as much an
asset of city as are it's chambers OF
commerce and its humming factories

number of people who are largely in.

on parks and for city adornments is by
no means to be credited to the charity
account. 1t is a wise investment. In
