Seven, sir. If you CANT wear

"Seven!" In my relief almost
shouted it. why, then, it's simple
enough. I'm in the wrong berth,
that's all. My berth is nine. Only
where the deuce is the man who be-

Likely In nine, SIR" The darky

that he thought had been drinking.
l drew a long breath. OF course,
that was the explanation. This was
number seven's berth, that was his
soft hat, this his umbrella, his coat,
his bag. My rage turned to irritation
at myself

The disappointment was the greater
for my few moments of hope l sat
up in a white fury and put on the
clothes that had been left me- Then,
still raging, l sat on the edge of the
berth and put on the obnoxious tan
shoes. The porter, called to his du-
ties, made little excursions back to
me, to offer assistance and to chuckle
at my discontinue. He stood by, out
wardly decorous, but with little irri-
tating grins of amusement around his
mouth, when finally emerged with
the red tie in my hand.
Bet the owner of those clothes did
not become them any more than you
do" he said, as he piled the ubiquitous
whisk broom.

Worldly


Worldly
The commission form of government
has worked the miracle of making
dead cities wake. Lazarus-like, score
of American municipalities have
thrown aside the shroud as soon as
business principles have been inject
ed. These cities did not always admit
they were dead; not one but realizes
today it is alive, very much alive.
Typical of the cities which within the
past two years have defied the sting of
death and the victory of the grave is
Des Moines. the capital city and COM
mercial center of Iowa. Between 1895
and 1900 the population of Des Moines
increased only 10 per cent, which may
be put down as the natural. unstimu-
lated growth of an ordinary city. Be
tween 1905 and 1909 the population of
Des Moines increased 371A per cent, at
which ratio the five years ending in
1910 will show gain of Al per cent.
On April 1. 1908, the city government
lacked $119.2O0 of enough money to
pay the obligations for the year. On
April l, 1909, the trumpet call of a
municipal Gabriel having sounded in
the meantime, there was balance in
the city treasury of $104,S55.
How Change Was wrought.
How had the marvellous change been
brought about?
Prior to April, 1908, the city govern
ment of Des Moines was similar to
that still in vogue in a majority of the
towns and cities of the United States.
Aldermen, or councilmen as they are
sometimes termed, were elected by the
various wards into which the city was
subdivided The test of usefulness of
these aldermen was the service which
they rendered to and the public i'm
provements which they secured for
their own wards, regardless of the
needs of other wards of the city as
whole The aldermen who were able
to grab the largest slice of the street
and sidewalk appropriation was looked
on as the leading spirit of the council,
while the one who obtained a park or
playground for his ward regardless of
whether or not the adjoining ward
needed bikes or sewers to protect
property and safeguard lives, was the
public servant sure to be returned at
the next election by enthusiastic sup
porters. Annually recurring floods
might emphasize the urgent need of
bikes, but if the representative of the
flooded ward was not good mixer, did
not side in with the ruling faction or
did not trade his vote with sufficient /
business foresight and political
shrewdness, the ward might go dixie
less through all eternity. The welfare |
of the entire city was subservient to /
