Ocen tho Door,

Open the door of your heart, ny lad.
To the angel of love and truth
When the world Is full OF unnurnbered
joys
In the beautiful da vn of youth.
Casting aside all things that mar.
Saying to wrong. Depart
To the voices of hope that are calling you
Open the door of your heart.
Open the door Of your heart. my lass,
To the things that shall abide.
To the holy thoughts that lift your soul
Like the stars at eventide.
All the fadeless flowers that bloom
In the realms OF song and art
Are yours if you'll only give them room.
Open the door OF your heart.
Open the door of your heart my friend.
Needless OF class and creed
When you hear the cry of a brothers voice,
The sob of a soul in need.
To the singing heavens that DER you bend
You need no map nor chart,
But only the love of the Master.
Open the door of your heart.
Edward Everett Hale.

Real Love.

A young couple married. She loved
him madly. He loved her devotedly.
They were good and they were young.
The coed die young, and he died. She
did not bury him: she had him Gre
mated and his ashes placed in an urn.
In the course Of time young fellows
came counting her and tried to per-
suade her that they ought to pay for
her board, but she said her heart was
with the ashes in the urn, and they
withered away into thin air. But there
was one desperate and persistent fell
low who hung around after all the 9th
ers had left, and finally she married
him to get rid Of him-a sort of de-
fensive movement. She grew to love
him without knowing anything about
it. and he didn't know ii either.
One day it rained in torrents. and
at night the frost came SO that in the
morning the front steps were coated
with ice. AS he opened the door TO go
to the office she saw the condition of
the steps. and great wave of love
swept over her, and she rushed and
got the urn and sprinkled her first hus-
band on the steps so that the second
husband could walk down in safety.
That is real love.

The Swiss understood the art Of pub

sons there is. however. one rawback
the after dinner speeches are inter
minably long. In bygone days the
people Of Berne seem 10 have awak-

hit upon a plan, which is observed to
this day. for the purpose of cutting
orators short when they become too
long. A man wearing n bears skin

latter becomes prosy and wandering

six persons were injured last night,
when Minnesota avenue streetcar
crashed into the rear of a Minnesota
avenue car standing dark" on the

filled to capacity with people going
to their homes from work on this
side of the river.
The dead: Omer A. Duke, mail
clerk. badly crushed.
Jesse Montgomery, negro, crushed; ;

vestibules and making it hard for the
motorman to see. The vestibules of
both cars were reduced to splinters,
and it was on these that most of the
injured were riding.

MADE HIS POINT CLEAR.
And Got His Cross Examiners Goat at
the Same Time.

kNe Sdho inc.
The following anecdote of the late
well known English actor and must
clan. Tom Cooke, is included by Mr..
F. L. Wellman in his Day In Court"
and affords good illustration Of the
important part played by emphasis and
accent:
At a trial between certain music
publishing houses as to an alleged pira-
cy of popular song Cooke was sub
pocnaed as an expert witness by one
of the parties. On his cross examina-
ton by Sir James Scarlet that learn
ed gentleman rather fiippantly ques-
toned him thus:
Sir. you say that the two melodies
are the same. but different Now, what
do you mean by that:'
To this Cooke promptly answered.
II said that the notes in the two cop
les are alike, but with different ac-
cent, the one being in common time
and the other in six-eight time, and
consequently the position Of the accent
of the notes was different"
Sir James-What is Il musical ac-
cent?
Cooke-My terms are gulneaS
quarter. sir.
Sir James-Never mind your terms
here. ask you what is Il musical &C.
cent? Can you see it?
Cooke-No. Sir James. -;
Sir James-Can you feel it?
Cookc-A musician can.
Sir James very angry)-Now, pray.
sir. don't beat about the bush, but eX-
plain to his lordship and the jury. who
are expected to know nothing about
music. the meaning of what you call
accent.
Cooke-Accent in music is n certain
stress laid upon particular note in
the same manner as you would lay Il
stress upon a given word for the pur-
pose of being better understood. Thus
If l were to say You are an ass the
accent rests on ass. but if We're to
say You are an ass it rests on you,
Sir James.
Reiterated shouts of laughter by the
whole court. in which the bench itself
joined, followed this repartee.

Woman Victim of Rigdon Tragedy
Tells Story to Police.

Chicago, July 20.-'T don't think
the real story of the shooting of Mrs
Emma Young by Charles w. Rigdon
and the suicide of the latter last Fri
day has been told yet," said Coroner
Peter M. Hoffman, land there are GER
tain persons who can tell much that
has been left unsaid. We will get to
the bottom of the whole affair, if pos
sible."
Many conflicting statements have
been made by all parties in the case.
Mrs. Young declared that Rigdon
shot her and killed himself because
he was jealous of two men. One of
them, she said, is John G. Fetzer, mil
lionaire, in whose office the shooting
took place, and the other is s. w. Tan
ner, clerk at a downtown hotel. Both
men denied the story.

STOREKEEPERS ARRESTED TOO
Two Alleged Culprits, Ar rested for Petty Offence,
 Confess In Jail

In the arrest of five young men, ranging from IT to 22 years, two of them found already in the Fairfield county jail, the police believe they have cleared up the mystery of a series of burg1aries in Salawitch's dry goods and notions store at sos HaIIett street in which the value of the loot can only be estimated at upwards of $1,0OO.
 The prisoners are John Vontuch, 864 Ogden street; George Kylatz, 676 StilIman street; Frank Sachs, 853 Berkshire avenue; Stefan Kovash, Church street; and Stefan Dutsch, Madison road. Dutsch was held in bail of $1,OOO' for burglary in the city court Monday while none of the others have yet been arraigned.
 Sachs and Kovash were arrested last week for creating a disturbance trying to get a drink in a Church street saloon after midnight. Both were sentenced to short terms in jail.
 Salawitch's burgIaries have been progressing he says for about three months. He began to miss one arti- cle after another, but couldn't ac- count for their disappearance. He suspected shop1ifting for a time, but when a constant vigil over the mer- chandise failed to disclose any evil dence of that, he suspected clerks.
