and fraction of pennies are counted.
No great business is run without a dis

"Yet a woman runs her house ana

'Why," continued this mere man,
who happened to be a salesman for a
big wholesale grocery establishment, "a
woman doesn't know what 1t means 10

TN FUTURE no landlord or builder
in England will be allowed to erect
u houses, tenements or cottages not
reasonably fit for human habitation.
Under the new housing and town plan
ming bill power is given to all city and
country authorities to compel sanitary
conditions, close and pull down dwell

owners and tenants to maintain sani-
tary conditions. And if this interfer-
ence with private control is inadequate
to bring about the desired results the
authorities are empowered to borrow
money from the public works loan COM

THE TOQUE's THE THING

Farewell to the Merry Widow lid
That stretched from shore to shore.
Good-by to the huge peach-basket nat
That looked like a grocery store;
Prolific topics they've ceased to De
For the merry gulp and Joque' ,.
And in place of their outrageous Shapes
Is twisted, turbaned toque'
The change Dame Fashion has decreed
Is hailed both near and far
As a boon to man, especially him
Who rides in bus or carr
But what will the comic artist do
When he feels inclined to poque
A little fun at a woman's nat
And find 1t is only toqueF
There's one best bet on this fashion thing
In the change that has taken place
A man won't have to stand on MS heau
To look at a womans face; r,.,...
And he won't have to be a Sherlock Holmes
To know who it that spoque
AS she passed him minus her old disguise
Bedecked in a brimless toque.
But hubby and pa, where do they come in?
VIII they weep or smile or rejoice ,....4
When they note the price of the sweet
little thing"
In the milliner's long invoice?
viii it make their hearts or their pockets
light,
Or will they have to go broque?
In hats does the penalty fit the crime?
win the bill shrink in size like the toque?

THE home of Mr.. and Mrs. Willis M.
Dixon of Arapahoe street was the
n scene last evening Of the marriage
of their daughter, Miss Lucille, and
Ralph williams Stewart, a civil en-
gineer of this city.
Relatives and close friends numbering
nearly 100 were present TO witness tLl1
ceremony, which was conducted py
Rev. William MacCormack, D. D., dean
Of st. Paurs cathedral, using the
full Episcopal service.
The entire house was beautifully dec
grated for the occasion, the large IlVL'S
room, where the marriage took place,
being arranged in churchly fashion ana
the mantel banked with white cosmos
and ferns to serve as background lor
the altar and the graceful picture maoe
by the wedding party.
AS the bride descended the broad
stairway her path to the altar was
strewn with rose petals by little Neola
Meekins, and eight young. woman
friends-Miss Lula Page, Miss Anna
Pease, Miss Ida Underhill, Miss Belle
CroweIl, Miss Violet Mcdonald, Miss
Helen McCutchan, Miss Eva StaVnoW
end Miss Corinne Thorkildsen-held the
lengths of white satin ribbon which out
lined an aisle from the stairway. Mr..
Dixon gave his daughter in marriage.
An orchestra rendered the familiar
wedding marches, and was heard softly
during the interchange Of VOWS.
The brides gown was an exquisite
affair Of white crepe cashmere, trimmed
with front and back panels Of rare lace,
and her flowers were bride roses. The
little flower girl was in white and the
group of ribbon bearers wore gowns of
a soft fabric in palest tints of pink and
blue.
An informal reception was followed
by supper, and the young people left
for a hunting and fishing trip of
month. Mr.. and Mrs. Stewart will re-
side at 22S0 West Twentieth street.

women than IL we'd never sinned at all.
Don't you think | know? Don't you
think I've borne it all myself? On,
listen Sometimes we find our sin--our
terrible sin--is what we love most IN
the world. 1t seems as II we couldn |
tear 1t off-it's flesh of our flesh an
soul of our soul. But, oh! when we've
killed it with our own two hands,
when we've conquered in that awful
fight, when we've nailed our bleedin'
heart to the cross itself-why, 1t seems
as If all the millions who have fought
and conquered since time began stretch
out their arms to us in pity Those
men and women down the river of the
ages-they know-they understand.
Because, like you an me, they've gone
down into the darkest places an found
the sunlight streamin' there.
oh! any of you that's listenin' he-e
t'night-that perhaps I'll never meet
again till at the judgment bar o God
remember it's love that saves the
world. They say it's strong as death
an, oh! know--I know it's strong as

WHERE WAS THE DEACON?

Deacon Jones, the great man of a
little village of Massachusetts, whose
outward piety was of the vociferous
order, but whose charity toward his
fellow men was not as Astounding as it
might have been, was dangerously ill.
and his brother deacons. impressed
with the custom of issuing bulletins
from the sick rooms of prominent in
dividuals, decided to follow the fash
ion, with the following results
''6 p. m. Deacon Jones is in a seri-
Gus condition"
~ p. m. Deacon Jones has rallied
slightly"
80 p. m. Deacon Jones has suffered
q relapse"
II p. m. Deacon Jones has departed
for heaven"
Thus the bulletins read at midnight;
but early in the morning some unre-
generate mortal who did not love the
deacon evidently passed that way. for
the light of a new day showed curious
townspeople the later report:

| the telegraph business by cheapening
the service amazingly.
What is ever to become of the irish
man with his pig and hen and donkey,
| now that every man may carry MS own
horse and COW in tin cans, raise chick
ems in an incubator and keep MS pig
| in sack or bucket?
| 1t is impossible to predict exactly
| what we are coming to, or what Is
| coming to US. You know that when
Stephenson wanted to prove the value
of his railway idea, the principal OBJ
| lection raised was the danger to dogs
and chickens who might not be able to
! get out of the way. Such reckless speed
as six or eight miles an hour was also
considered exceedingly hazardous to
| passengers. So the present objections
made to air cars are probably largely
| based on flimsy grounds. So far as one
can judge just now the chief hindrance
| to aerial transportation is our inability
to duplicate the action of birds in
! flight. A man in Los Angeles who is
working quietly appears to me to be
more nearly on the track than others.
But he is not rich, and may not have
the mechanical experience necessary to
correctly design his machine.
We cannot find place to stop, If We
continue to discuss all the interesting
side issues. 1t will be enough for pres
ent purposes to ask the question wheth-
the signs of the times do not all I'M
miStakably point toward the conclu-
sion that the world everywhere is being
leavened with the idea of universal
brotherhood.
The emblem with the kissing serpent
and motto, Don't tread on me-" was
the expression of a noble aim of an
unjustly harassed people. And, as
our forefatherS measured progress, 1t Is
not long since it was the inspiration of
nation. But now the. gentle lamb.
calmly sleeping athwart the lions
paws, is almost realized in the courts
of the world.
Oh, 1 could paint the other side of
the picture, not as well, but as CHASTITY
as Dante did. 1t is all there, and
where we might reform and purify.
But the world is gradually taking the
attitude OF a splendid man, once my
colleague in an eastern university. He
was a Pole by birth--a sage in intel
lect, a chief in counsel, a jewel in
friendship and his heart was as big
and as tender as ever did beat. Once
in discussing the misery and wretched-
ness, the vileness and depravity Of a
local tract necessary to pass in our
daily walks, he said in simple, un-
ostentatious way, Il never notice such
things-unless l can help" 1t was only
in after years that mis- death brought
out tue ldcts COACelHlilS d AelpLuAiesS
that keeps the memory of Snyder
green.
Mackay gave his vision of the work
of science. Leaving you TO decide how
far events to date have justified his
prediction, 1 conclude with this quo
tatlon:
Science Is child as yet,
And her power and scope shall grow.
And her trlumphs in the future
Shall diminish toll and VICE.
Shall extend the bounds OF pleasure
With widening ken,
And of woods and wilderness
Make the homes of happy men.

EARTHQUAKES PREFERRED

Speaking of volcanoes, earthquakes
and other great commissions of nature.
it may be we'll to remember that there
are some things even more destructive;
witness a tale that is told of an oc-
currence during the earthquake in
Charleston, South Carolina, several
years ago.
A resident of the shaken city, while
he felt that his duties required him to
remain there to do what he might for
the sufferers, sent his 6-year-old son
out of the danger and confusion to
the youngsters grandfather in New
York. Three days after the boys ar
rival the Charleston man received this
telegram from his father: "Send us
your earthquake and take back your
boy"
