The Chicks divided their double

The games were fast despite the err

Baxter had the Tigers guessing hard

that looked like hit and it was moi
until the last inning that they could

 "I" said the tattooed man, "amea bum business man." He was peering through the bars of cell in the Tombs. Now and then he put up one hand-ornamented in quaint traceries of blue leaves and red vines and purple shrubbery-to wipe the tears out of his eyes. The tattooed man felt that he was up against 1t, hard lie had just heard a sentence of one year in the penitentiary pronounced upon him. And I was such an ambitious kid when was young, too," he walled. 'l nuvver thought I'd wind up like a dang old bum ia a bug-bottle like this. I wanted to be somebuddy worth while"
 It didn't take long to extract his simple Biad. When he was young man he had been employed by boilermaker Boiler making entails protracted bounding upon sheets of reverberant iron with heavy hammer. It is grand for the muscles of the shoulder. but it is hard upon per- son whose true gifts are meditative and sedentary. He had planned to keep on boiler making until he had saved up large sum, which would enable him to quit business and rest. And then he at tended a show, saw the tattooed man, and realized that this artist made living by merely peeling off an undershirt and turning himself now and then. like a chicken on a spit. And the embryo boiler maker hurried home, and plucked his s7oo from under the mattress, and hunted for some one who could embroider his hide. Tt took me three weeks to have all ,nis scenery picked into my skin" said the tattooed man between tears. And I was three weeks in bed because I inflamed all over, where the needle had jabbed me. And then I went with Barnum & Bailey, and afterward with Buffalo Bill, and for years I done right we'll. But now I'm out Of job. People don't care to look at tattooed man any more.

BANIsHED FROM BROADWAY
| the New York World.

From the New York World.
 Judge Swann, in General Sessions, in putting on probation a young clerk con- victed Of forgery, requires him to keep away from the Great White Way" If lle, approaches within a mile of Broadway and Forty-second street he will be liable to five years term in prison.
 The conditions ought not to be difficult to observe. The hardships of being 40 or 4 minutes from Broadway is more imagin- ary than real. There is in fact no greater popular misconception than that of Broad way as a region of sheer delight. It's pleasures are sordid and it's lights have a .cheerless glitter to those who look at them with unconditional view. There is burner where companionship and good fellowship are, than in all their million candle power.
 Broadway, as respects it's characteristic attractions, is fiction of the imagination, a myth created by long exploitation. It is only necessary to scratch the surface of its elegance to show the tawdrines below. To youth who has been feeding on its husks it may seem hard to have to give it up. But there is nothing cruel in the courts sentence and no occasion for sym pathy for the one on whom 1t is imposed. Exile from Broadway should have salu- tary effect on him, as it would on many others who do not require it as the alter native of a prison term.

zoate board should go, and the coun- try really desires another Secretary of Agriculture. The matter goes over doubtless until the President returns.
 The point at issue relates to the manner of enforcing the law whether it shall be enforced with an eye single to the good of the people and the spirit of the law, or whether it shall be enforced in way that will let dishonest manufacturers continue to use benzoate of soda and other deleterious preservatives. Secretary Wilson is fully committed to the lat ter proposition. He believes in fol- lowing the line of least resistance. He is an Iowa politician. It is sim ply impossible to expect real and comprehensive enforcement of the law under Secretary Wilson. He has al ready served over 12 years, and his resignation should logically follow that of McCabe and the Presidents decision in favor of Dr. Wiley. The chief chemist should be given due and proper authority to the end of MT. Taft's term. Public sentiment sup ports the President in this matter.

Weights and Measures in New York

New York city has a bureau of weights and measures, headed by commissioner, with staff consisting of 28 men and three women, and Commissioner Walsh asks the appoint ment of seven more male and three more female inspectors. He says he cannot cover the city with less force than Il inspectors.
 While it is admitted that Con- missioner Walsh has been efficient, yet it is conceded that one-sixth of the sales of provisions in New York are made in short weight packages. Formerly three-fourths of the pro- vision sales were in short weight packages. A decrease to one-siXth is considered a great victory in New York city. The inspectors in New York make purchases in all parts of the city and in all branches of trade, and when scales or measures are found false an arrest speedily follows. The short barrel and the short basket and the short bag have been pretty well weeded out. False scales do extz ist and nothing short of small army of watchers can bring all dealers in the immense city to honest stand ards.
 The situation in New York is suf- ficient evidence that Birmingham can not get along comfortably without some supervision of weights and measures. The battle against false standards may not have to be waged as it is in New York, but surely some supervision is advisable, even if the city is hard pushed financially. The ultimate consumer has some rights that the commissioners should re- spect.

wOMAN's IMMODEsT DRESS

fTOH leSllo S
 The extremes of women's fashions have so long been made the subject of jest that 1t is a relief to have them treated seriously. Bishop Milan, of the Roman Catholic church, In the course of a sermon at Hartford, Conn, de- woman" that ought to make her ears jingle. The bishop was particular ly critical, and justly so, of the vulgar ity of the costumes worn by women to- day '"rhe master of fashions" said he, seems to be preparing woman to take her place along with man by shaping her garments so that they more and more closely resemble mans attire. with the result that she disfgures her beau ty and deforms her nature. Gone is the oldtime womanly expression of sweetness and modesty, and in it's place we have the swagg& and the stare" In the prevailing style of dress her figure as never before in the lis- tory of civilization. Had the change come about all at once, 1t would have shocked the sex into a revulsion of feeling but. coming gradually. it has taken advantage of the weakness of woman to accept the styles as handed down with too little protest. Through a little independence in their own dress and that of their daughters, mothers of refinement may yet save the day for modesty and even virtue.

PURIFYING THE STAGE
Harriett Quimby in Lesnes.

Harriett Quimby in Leslie's.
 It looks as if the public was getting over its hysteria in many directions. Unwholesome plays are not in as great favor as they were, and now profane and suggestive language is to be ban ished from the stage. It will be if the example set by Evanston, the fashion able north shore suburb of Chicago, is followed as 1t ought to be. Evans ton has just opened its first theatre, erected at a cost of s76,O00. With the opening comes the announcement that no plays will be tolerated in which profane or suggested language Is used Furthermore no Sunday performances are to be given. This sounds good. Perhaps it Is one of the natural re- suit of the patronage the church members are now giving to the thea tres. If so, 1t is an indication that the theatre is not demoralizing the good people that attend the performances, but, on the contrary. the good people are having a wholesome effect on the managers, the playwrights and the players. It is high tims-for reforma- tion.s The American stage in the past few years has given signs of degenera- ton that would have been thought im- possible in other days.

Woodrow Wilson in New Jersey

When the democratic state conven- tion met in Trenton, N. J., events oc- cured almost without precedent in party affairs. After Governor Will sons progressive policies had been in- dorsed in the platform a delegate rose to offer resolution pledging the SUD- port of the convention to Governor Wilson for the presidency. The As sociated Press report says the gov ernor was on his feet in an instant to move that the resolution be laid on the table. In doing this he argued that it was contrary to the spirit of the Geran election law for state convention to indorse anybody's candi- dacy. The governors motion was adopted.
 The new Geran election law of New Jersey not only provides fo rthe cleo tion of national delegates by the peo- pie, but it also provides for a presi- dential preference primary to instruct those delegates how to vote. Govern or Wilson desires action on his candi- dacy under the new law that he was instrumental in framing and passing. He wants, in word, direct action by the people to the largest possible ex- tent.
 The truth is, the democrats of his state stand as solidly behind him as do the democrats of Alabama behind Oscar ". Underwood. Both honored names should be laid before the con vention backed by popular vote that no one could misconstrue.
