MERITS OF THE CITY.

Nearly all civilization is the product
of the city. where mind meets mino

tact, says New York Weekly. Masses
Of population may engender great
vices, but they also engender great
virtues. and If they do not produce
they certainly develop the finest ana
keenest intelligences that we nave

Conan Doyle has Sherlock Holmes. In
one of his best stories, point out THIS
fact. It was a clever touch and 1t Is
true. The country man Is not more
honest than the city man, although ne
may lack opportunities. Flaubert ana
Balzac have drawn grim pictures OF
sordid meanness in the rural lie OF
France; Tolstoi has done as much for
Russia, and Sudermann, Ibsen ana

of their own countries. The recent re-

People Realize the Danger.

AS an indication of the force of the
crusade against tuberculosis, the Ma
tional Association for the Study and
Prevention of tuberculosis, in bull
letin issued recently points to the fact
that while 535 per cent. of the ex-
penditures for tuberculosis in 1903
were made from public resources, APP
preparations made for 1910 indicate
that over rs per cent. of the money
to be spent this year will be from fed
eral, state, city and county funds. In
1909, out of the $3.50, 621.50 spent for
the prevention and treatment OF tu-
berculosis. S4,362.750.O3 was spent
from public money, and $3,S17,S71.47
from funds voluntarily contributed.
For the carrying on of state, federal
and municipal tuberculosis work in
1910, over 100000 has been appro-
priated. OF this sum. the state legis-
latures have granted $4,100.000, the
municipal and county bodies, $3.975,-

His Successful Demonstration
By JOHN K. ADAMS
Copyright, 1909 by Associated Literary Press)

Lille pinned on her wide black hat
and sat down again Imply before the
glass She felt very tired that morn
ing, and her head had started to ache,
which meant that it would ache more
before the day was over. Such a
long day, too, with only one intermis-
sion at lunch time, which might come
any time between IL o'clock and 2,
according to the amount of business
she was doing. She set her chin in
her hands and regarded her reflection
critically. Yes, her complexion was
certainly growing dull. her hair life
less, her eyes heavy-liver, the doctor
would have called it, but Lisle XIV

and living in hall bedroom that was
we'll enough in winter when she want

this! Another year of the city would
make her faded, emotionless thing
like nine-tenths of the girls she saw
daily. But she had to live and there
was nothing in the world she could do
just at present but demonstrate Van
Haps Peerless Cocoa.
And then cocoa-she should hate II
forevermore. Had she not loathed the
very smell of vanilla ever since she
had undertaken the demonstration OF
Artists Triple Extract? Already the
sight of the chocolate cream nauseat

and otherwise, there would be nothing
which would smell or taste or look
palatable to her, because, forsooth, in
timacy with them all had bred con-
tempt.
And only 81, with her first sweet
heart yet to get! She could have had
plenty Of admirers, such as they were,
but she shuddered at the thought Of
the average type of masculinity that
ogles the pretty and unwary shop girl.
She had learned one thing while she
had been in the city, and that was to
let the men who came within her
radius severely alone. She would go
alone to the end of her days unless
she found q man who was at once
worthy of her respect and admiration.
Yet after all, she did get lonesome
sometimes and heart hungry for lights
and music and laughter and dear
voice calling her something sweet and
the protection of an arm.
1t was time to go, and past time!
She sprang up, grabbed her gloves and
ran out. of the narrow room which was
all of home the city afforded her.
When she reached the street she
found her car had just passed and
there would not be another for 10
minutes. So it came about that she
was late to her work that morning.
Van Haps peerless cocoa was dem.
onstrated along with sundry other
articles, edible and otherwise, in the
haonnannt nf ana ,f he
ment stores.
Lisle took off her hat, gave a pat to
her hair and went to work For an
hour she had no time to look up. Then
came a lull and she leaned upon the
counter and looked over to the other
side of the room, where Railer's
canned products were being demon
strated for the week. All day yester-
day she had felt so sorry for the pale
young man who had stood there talk
ing for dear life, yet looking positive
ly i'll. and she summoned her kindest
smile for him now. But the smile
stiffened on her face as she saw that
he was not there, but, instead a good.
looking young man, seemingly all en-
ergy and vim and good nature, with a
pair of the kindest, keenest. frankest
eyes she had ever seen.
After that she pretended to be even
buster than she was, but she could not
resist glancing across now and then to
the unusual young man. and invari-
ably her glance was accompanied by
a blush, for it encountered his. She
could hear his voice, deep, pleasant,
confidence-inspiring. What lot of
stuff he was selling. He was beating
her all to pieces. Lisle urged herself
to fresh effort
Her chance for luncheon came
sooner than she expected and she hied
herself to the restaurant for her sand
wiches and tea. AS she sat waiting
for her order to be brought a man
came and sat down opposite to her
at the same table. II was the demon
strator of Railer's Bestout canned pro-
ducts. Isle blushed. She knew per-
