NOW is DAY OF POOR
NEVER BEFORE COULD THEY GET
so MUCH FOR so LITTLE.
Lcng Street Car Rides, Free Parks,
Low Postage and Phone Rates
6nd Great Public Libraries
Are Theirs.

Disciples Of unrest would have the
world believe that this is the day Of
the rich whereas, on the contrary,
never in the history Of the United
States have the poor and those per
sons Of restricted means been enabled
to procure so much for 50 little.
The rich may speed in their automo-
biles, but for five cents the poor may
ride royalty from one side Of a city
like Chicago to the other, or to be
carried miles into the country. What
an Improvement over the days Of our
forefathers, when it was either own
your own private conveyance, or elise
journey by foot or in the expensive
stage.
The rich may seclude themselves in
spacious villas and country places, but
the country place Of the poor is pro-
vided, absolutely free of expense to
them, in extensive parks where grass,
trees, fountains and music, flowers
and statuary, are theirs to enjoy as If
created by their pocketbooks.
For 2 cents a Letters tmay be sent
4 distance which once would have de-
manded % cents. To the address Of
the poor as well as to the hall Of the
rich the carrier delivers the mail, and
for the farmer whose labor will not
permit him to so to town there is the
rural service.
For cents the poor man may talk
over the telephone as far as the rich
man; and into the cottage as into the
mansion has been extended the elec,
trio light, at a reasonable rate.
Grand opera comes high, to be sure;
but what does that matter when many
many amusement gardens, as well as
the public parks, charge no admit
tance fee to their concerts?
The rich may have their private
Libraries; but much larger Libraries
of literature as choice or choicer are
open in cities and even in villages tc
the knock Of the common people.
1t is not the day Of the rich; IT Is
the day Of the poor, wherein especial
attention is being paid to the person
not with much but with little, tC
spend.-&dwin L, Sabn, in Lippin

Here's Newest Beauty WrlnkIe.

The old nursery Of Beauty and the
Beast" has just been revived by the
fashionable beauties Of Paris in a way
caculated to accentuate their charms.
They are surrounding themselves with
the uglest maidseryants imaginable,
Their constant companions are the
most hideous pets imaginable. One
celebrated beauty. Mile. Manon Lott,
has engaged dwarf who is described
as having "a tremendous head, a male.
VIOLENT expression and hardly any
legs" and Mile. Lott takes him out
walking with her every afternoon In
order that his uglness will emphasize
her own beauty all the more.
Mile. Mistinguette, the dancer, has
engaged as maid Hindu woman with
ringed ears and face which is by no
means attractive. Other beauties are
selecting equally unattractive folks,
and the fashion is said to be spreading
just as rapidly as ugly servants and
pets can be found.

wife Of a gentleman so distinguished
in the diplomatic service as Senor
Yturrio.
I'VE are especially glad always to
hear Of our friends from the south
west" said he, at last, with slight
addition of formality in tone and at
titude.
At these words saw my lady's eyes
flicker. ut is fate senor" said she,
again casting down her eyes, and
spreading out her hands as in resigna-
ton, fate which left Texas and Mex
leo not always one"
THAT NAY be-" said Mr.. Calhoun
Perhaps fate, also, that those OF kin
should cling together"
"How can mere woman know My
lady shrugged her very graceful and
beautiful shoulders-somewhat ma
ture shoulders now, but still beauti-
full.
Dear senora," said Mr.. Calhoun,
there are SO many things a woman
may not know. For instance, how
could she know if her husband should
perchance leave the legation to which
he was attached and pay visit to
another nations"
Again the slight fickering Of her
eyes, but again her hands were out
spread in protest
"IIOW indeed senOr?"
What if my young aide here, Mr.
Trist, should tell you that he has seen
your husband some hundreds of miles
away and in conference with a lady
supposed to be somewhat friendly to-
ward"
"Ah, you mean that baroness"
So soon had the shaft gone home!
Her woman's jealousy had offered a
point unexpectedly weak, Calhoun
bowed, without a smile upon his face,
"Mr. Pakenham, the British minis
ter, is disposed to BE friendly to this
same lady, Your husband and certain
officer of the British navy called upon
! this same lady last week in Montreal
informally. It is sometimes unfortu
nate that plans are diyulged. To me II
seemed only wise and fit that you
should not let any Of these little per
sonal matters make for us greater
complications in these perilous times
I think you understand me, perhaps
Sonora Yturrio?'
She gurgled low in her throat at
this, any sort Of sound, meaning tc
remain ambiguous, But Calhoun was
merciless.
1T Is not within dignity, sonora, for
me to make trouble between a lady
and her husband But we must have
friends with us under our flag, OF
know that they are not our friends
You are welcome in my house. Your
husband is welcome in the house OF
our republic. There are certain du
ties, even thus"
Only now and again she turned
upon him the light Of her splendid
eyes, searching him,
'If l should recall again, gently, my
dear sonora, the fact that your hus
band was with that particular woman
If | should say that Mexico has
been found under the flag of England
while supposed to be under our flag
If I should add that one Of the repre-
sentatives of the Mexican legation
had been discovered in handing over
to England certain secrets Of this
country and Of the Republic of Texas
why, then, what answer, think you
sonora, Mexico, would make to me?
But Senior Calhoun does not near
does not dare to say"

HISTORY OF JOB VERY OLD
Tablets That Date Back to 1900 q. C.
Tell Of Him and His A.
fllctions.

The history of Job is much Older
than even the first Babylonian dy
nasty, says Francois Martin, &
French archaeologist, who reports in
the Journal Antique a discovery he
has made Of three tablets with cunei.
form writing dating back to the
time Of King Khammurabi, who
flourished 1900 B. G.
These tablets tell the story of a
man who, almost in the Identical
Biblical language, cleared the gods
and eschewed evil" and who never
theless was plagued by demon un-
til he lay naked and covered with
sores among the ashes. When his
faith has been tested he is once
more raised to health and aaluence
by the god Marduk.
The similarity between the two
stories is remarkable, but NJ. Martin
believes that his find, though very
ancient, is not the record of the
original conception. If NJ. Martin
is right the story of Job would be
about the oldest in the entire his
tory Of mankind.

Chef From psrIs

A cook with q coal-black face and
a knowledge Of French cookery was
the homogeneous combination pre-.
sented to a Philadelphia woman who
had advertised for French cook.
"But you are not French p she
exclaimed.
mo, but my cooking is" was The
confident reply.
Being questioned further, the cook
told where she had acquired her art,
and the housekeeper, having become
interested, made further inquiries at
the school.
"a number Of colored women have
studied cooking here" the French
chef said. cat first we hesitated to
receive them for fear Of precipitating
a race riot, but, to our surprise, the
white pupils don't mind bit. We
we're afraid, too, that 'colored women,
having an Unborn talent for an en-
tirely different kind Of cookery,
would not readily acquire the knack
of French cooking, but they took to
it with remarkable ease. So let no
housekeeper imagine that the col
ored woman who applies for the po-
sition Of French cook is an impostor.
She is no doubt thoroughly skilled in
her art.

BROWNS AMBITION IS

Ing to HOyle, the Browns
should run last because this
yesr's team IL merely an expert
ment. However, they are going
to stand by with field glasses
with optimistic lenses, and hope
and wish and pray that the
browns climb q few rungs high
er In tho pennant ladder.
Manager Wallace, an experl-
sneDt, IL tearing down and build
ing up. He will face the barrier
In the coming Americas League
race with just three hOld-overs.
He has tied the rattlinR boiler
to tho vets. Himself, Newman
and Hoffman or Schvveitxer will
he the trio In this years inaugu-
raj who performed last season.
All the others are newcomers.
That's why this years Browns
are pretty much an experiment
from start to finish. Withal,
Wallace has picked up q few
likely looking men. Jay Justin
Clark, the former Cleveland
catcher, should prove q tower OF
strength. Mig led the Brownies
In hitting In the spring series

that he's aggressive and n good
throwing catcher.
Austin ana Laporte seem m

Truesdale. Williams, q wallop-
tag Aychaser, has 1T on Stone

be q pretty nifty y0ungster.
