er he had taken her among canni-
balls.
And then there's Alice Heine,
with $10,000,00O, who lost out to
the prince of Monaco, when he ex-
cluded her from state ceremonies
and forced her to get a divorce.
The game that Prince Caramsn-
Chimay played against Clara
Ward, with her $S,00O,0O0, when
he drove her into bad company
and forced her to divorce him.,
is also full of warnings.
Here are some other cases
from which she might gain in
formation: Mary Wheeler, with
100000, who married Count
Pappenheim, was denied stand
ing in court, and divorced; Con-
suelo Yzanga, with $5,000.000,
was deserted by the duke of Man
chester for a music hall singer.
Eva Mackay, with 100000 1000,
was divorced from Prince Colon
ma, because he was unfaithful
and squandered her money. Eliza
beth Carey, with $5,000,000, was
forced to divorce Baron de Stuers
because he kept her a prisoner in
his castle. Margaret Furman,
with $1,000,000, got divorce
because her husband, Count La
roche-Guyon, pawned her jewels
to get money for a dancer. Flea
nor Patterson lost badly to Count
JOS. Gzicky, who, even after he
deserted her, stole their child re-
peatedly to extort money from
her. Anna Reid, 100000, who
was beaten and abused by her
husband, Sir Arthur Aylmer, fur
nishes an opportunity for Miss
Henning to gain some more valu-
able points for her coming con-
test.
OF course, the investigation of
all these cases would be a ire
mendous task for Miss Henning,
and perhaps not worth her while.
And these are only a few in
which the Girls lost.
The noblemen are nearly al
ways the victors. It's easy to I'M
derstand, from this array of in
formation, that Miss Henning is
courageous and daring in entering
the Nobleman-American Girls con-
tests.

SHOULD
OWN PHONE
SYSTEM

TWELFTH STREET CLUB WILL
LIKELY JOIN SOUTH SIDE
CITIZENS In URGING THAT
CITY TAKE OVER THE TELE-
PHONE LINES.
The Twelfth Street Improve
ment club will probably join the
South Side club Monday night in
demand that the city grant no
further telephone franchises and
that the city prepare for munich
pal ownership of the telephone
systems.
Two weeks ago the Twelfth
Street club took action to stop the
council from granting any fur
ther telephone franchise to the
Bell people and then the matter
was laid over for a thorough dis
cussion at the meeting Monday
night.
The city council will have the
matter up Wednesday night
again. AT this time the Bell peo-
pie are expected to come in and
ask for a new franchise. The
council requested them to do so
and unless they do the city attor-
ney will be ordered to go ahead
and bring suit to GUST the Bell
phones entirely.
Business men are getting tired
of a double-header telephone SER
vice which costs two prices and
they are lining up for a munich
pal system run on the light poles
at cost to the people. If this
were done it is argued that every
body would put in telephones just
as they do city lights now and
that the telephone service would
be worth several times as much

Senator Frank Flint told them so.
And then the boss of Senator
Frank Flint, old Mr.. Southern Pa
cific Railroad, steps to the front
iand raises the freight rate just
enough to absorb the added price
on lemons. No, say-but what's
| the use?
Yes, Frank Fine is a candidate
for reelection should say re-
appointment-to the senate. In
California senators are no longer
chosen by the people. There is a
permanent under secretary of Cal
Iifornia-a man named Herrin-
who is nominally attended for the
S. p. railway. He runs the state
He appoint senator's, judges and
candidates for congress, as well as
members of the state legislature.
He appointed Flint, and Flint is
again a candidate for Herrin S
kindness. It's my guess he'll get
the job. Didn't the S. P. get its
tariff on lemons?
Did you ever notice the number
of house flies in the average Pull
man sleeping car?
Last winter l sat in the rooms
of the interstate commerce COM
mission in Washington, d. c., and
spent several hours reading the
record of Lotus VS.. the Pullman
company. In that record / read
statements that Pullman cars are
thoroughly disinfected and cleaned
at the end of each run. 1t was
stated in that testimony that they
were closed and fumigated in such
a way that all germs would GER
tainly be killed. Now, what /
want to know is how the average
house fly survives that fumiga-
ton.
The next time I meet my old
friend Frank o. Lowden I'm going
to ask him what kind of fly paper
he buys for his Pullman cars.
Then l will hand him one of those
pamphlets by L. o. Howard, agri-
cultural department, Washington,
d. c., and beg him to read that
part where it says that the pres
ence of flies always indicates the
presence of dirt. Then l will send
him by mail marked copy of that
interesting treatise on flies as the
carriers of germs and spreaders OF
disease. Then l will go around
and listen to Franks old familiar
talk about having nothing to dc
with the Pullman company, and
all that. And then / will go away
and dream of that time and place
where corporation magnates get
what they have really earned, and
my imagination will show, me Hon.
Satan joking Frank Lowden into
one large Pullman car filled with
the ghosts of all the flies that now
travel free on these sleepers.
Frank, with. nothing on but bath
Ing trunks and with his hands per-
manently anchored to a couple OF
immovable grop-sacks. And all
around the car, as inside decora-
ton, will be copies of the testi-
mony given before the interstate
commerce commission on the sub
Ject OF the cleaning, disinfecting
and fumigating of sleeping cars.
And looking on from ice-cooled
boxes will be the innumerable host
OF those who in this life have
Travelled In Franks cars. Amen.
