FORTUNE FOR DYING

in the world today. Fortunately
we hace none in our home at pres
ent, who are blind, crippled or suf-
fering from an incurable disease,
but there are hundreds in the
world"
Some years ago" continued Mrs.
Meyers, "a little girl came to our
home. She was only seven years
of age and yet she was victim Of
consumption ana the dread disease
had settled in her joints. Days at
time she could not walk, her
knees and feet were so badly eff
fected
Her mother had died of the same
disease and the father a man who
could provide for the child if he had
not been so dissipated, deserted
the little girl and even after the
home took her, he did not call in
four long years to see the child
while he lived in the city.
"Of course We provided doctors
for her, but they all said her case
was incurable and we did not have
money to let her travel or consult
specialists. She grew up in the
home, and although she was con-
slant sufferer, she was always pa
tient.
She was a girl of whom anyone
might be proud. She had big
brown eyes and brown hair and pos
She had never been trained. but
sessed one of the sweetest voices,
she could sing beautifully and play
the piano. She was noble char
acter and l had a chance to know,
for she remained with us until she
was 30 years of age, when she died
at the home
Mrs. Meyers dropped her voice
and an expression of sadness
crossed her face. She was con-
fined to her bed she continued,
Z" for three years before her death
came. Even though she suffered
and had practically nothing to live
for. we all mourned her death.
Her case is but one example of
the hundreds of human lives which
are being sacrificed every day for
lack. of opportunity, mothers love
and money and yet women will
sQuander hundreds and even thou
sands of dollars upon bulldogs

Fables of Convention
II. THE GIRL WHO WHIsTLED.
There was a girl who whistled.

There was girl who whistled.
She whistled as birds sing, be
cause she couldn't help whistling
Her ear for tone intervals was ex.
cellent. She neither fatted nor
sharped. She could even whistle the
second strain of the bridal march
from "Lohengrin" and come trium-
phantly back to the original key on
the de capo. If one were to hear
her whistling around a corner there
would be no obvious reason why
she should not whistle. Were she
to peep around the corner it would,
of course, become quite obvious to
the most casual observer that there
was every reason in the wirld why
she should not whistle. But her
whistling, per Sc, was delight.
And she simply couldn't help
whistling.
1t was very unfortunate A sad
case. Eschylus would have done
this better. However,
All this might have been avoided
If the girl had not whistled on the
street But she did. Not habitually,
but once. The sun was strangely
bright. The sky was strangely blue.
There was ozone in the air. She
whistled. Worse yet. she whistled
La Donna Mobile" from "Rigo-
letto." 1t must be said in her be-
half however, that she could not
read Italian and didn't know what it
was all about.
Now, the Girl was engaged to a
Worthy Young Man. He WAS
worthy, as will appear. He loved
the girl. He even loved her whis-
Ting secretly.
The Young Mans folks were Nice

MANS SKIN ALL
BLUE; STAINED

NEW YORK, June IA singu-
lar case of discoloration of the
human body was brought TO the
Flower hospital last night, when
Joseph Pick. aged %, was rushed
there from the corner of Fifty-sev-
enth street an Second avenue by
an ambulance surgeon who thought
the man was dying as the result of
gas poisoning.
Pick was on Second avenue when
he collapsed. Bystanders sum-
moned Policeman Schultz, who
looked at the unconscious man and
calculated: Gas poisoning
how did he get out on the street
with ito"
Picks face was a purpluish blue
the same color as is apparent In
extreme cases of gas asphyXiation,
When DR.. Newcomb jumped off the
back seat of the Flower hospital
ambulance he too exclaimed Gas
poisoning"
At the hospital the man was
stripped and it was found his whole
body was the same tinge as his
face, but otherwise he had no
symptoms of asphyxiation. After
about an hour Pick recovered con.
seriousness long enough to give his
name and address.

Wonderful Results
DENTAL WORK
TIL AT L ASTS
Prices That All Can Afford
to Pay

The Red Cross Dentists
have been established in this
city for only six months, and
yet in that time they have
demonstrated beyond a pos
sibiIity of a doubt that the
best dentistry at the lowest
prices is the proposition
that the people appreciate.
When they told the people
that they would make the
very best ok. solid gold
crown for $3.50, and the very
best rubber plate for $3.50,
the public could not under
stand how such a thing could
be done. They were accus-
toned to pay So to $40 for
the best gold crown and $l5
to 500 for the best plates,
and they could not realize
that dental work could be
done for less. The Red Cross
Dentists, however, have
proven that the highest class
Of work was not necessarily
the most expensive. They
have built up a practice, the
largest in the city, on the
proposition that the best
work at the lowest prices,
with an absolutely bona fide,
written guarantee is what
the people want. All the den
lists in this office are gradu-
ate, licensed and competent.
They employ no cheap labor
atory boys to do their work.
They look for their profits
from the volume Of business
and careful attention to all
details. Their office is off
Riverside avenue, and what
they save in rent over equal
space on the main thorough
fare, their patients save on
their dental bill. This is only
one item of saving, however.
There is no extra money tied
up in elaborate furnishings,
which the patient ultimately
pays for, but they have all
the equipment that is neces-
lsary in a first class dental
office. Those wishing to save
money on their dental bill
and at the same time be as
sured Of the highest grade of
dental services, would do

day. Now, see here, my boy" ETC.,
etc. "They* all say" etc, etc.
The Worthy Young Man, being
something less than altogether
worthy, finally gave in and broke
off his engagement.
We know, of course, that this was
the best thing that could have hap
pened to the girl, but she, unfor-
tunately, did not know this. She
was foolishly sad about it, and be-
ing creature Of impulses, as we
have seen (witness her whistling on
the street,, put on her hat, kissed
her mother, went to the door, went
back, kissed her mother again, then
went down to the bridge and very
quietly and slyly dropped off into
the water.
We maintain that Eschylus might
have done something with this.
We can only feebly add that when
the Worthy Young Man saw the
girls corpse lying on stone slab
IN the morgue he failed to rise to
the occasion, Judging from the
standpoint of tragedy. He did not
tear his hair and curse the high
gods. He did not rush home and de-
nounce his meddling relatives with
terrible curses. He committed no
homicide. He didn't even go out
and get drunk.
He simply wilted over a railing
made of gaspipe. covered his face
with his hands and cried-cried like
the broken hearted boy he was,
with racking sobs that shook his
frame and tears that ran down
through his fingers.
