"BUYS" A BIG HOTEL

failed to pay the taxes on May / the
penalty of one per cent. a month was
added to the amount. Six weeks
elapsed and County Treasurer O'Con-
nell advertised the property for sale.
About the middle Of July he OBJ.
tanned a judgment in the county court
against owners Of the property be-
cause they still neglected to pay the
taxes and the penalty. The other
morning the property was placed on
sale at public auction. Thomas Ga
ham, one Of Mr. O'Connell's assistants.
received the bids. Mr. Lawton, who is
a professional "bidder-in." made the
highest offer. He handed over a check
for $48.6S0. and came into the posses
sion of a frontage Of 1876 feet on Michi-
gan avenue, $50 on Congress street
and 100 on Wabash avenue.
The original owners Of the land. Mr.
Lawton says, were the Studebakers of
South Bend, Ind; Ambrose Cramer OF
Lake Forest and the Peck estate OF
Chicago.
A ninety-nine year lease was Sc
cured by the company which built
the hotel, theater and Office building.
Failure of the owners of the build
ing to pay the taxes, Mr.. Lawton says,
means that they forfeit their lease and
therefore he has obtained possession
Of all the property by paying the
taxes.

LITTLE LEAKS.

The old proverb that tells us that
1.-The little leak Is what sinks the
great ship" is so true of the little
easily overlooked, yet are the cause
of many bankrupt homes.
These may seem like small things
to mention, but "a straw shows which
way the wind blows"
Do you notice the tea and coffee
cups at the end of the meal? ls there
a teaspoonful of undissolved sugar in
some of the cups? The children may
be taught now to guard against this
extravagant habit. but 1t Is hard to
break old and long-established ones.
Are those at your table careless
about taking on the plate more than
they care to eat. leaving 1t to be
wasted?
When the expense of the table ex.
ceeds half of the income (the amount
q fair apportionment), 1t proves that
It Is due to any or all of the follow
Ing things:
Buying food out of season.
Buying perishable -foodstuffs in
quantities not Immediately available.
Buying food with little nutriment.
Choice of high-priced meat, high
priced because limited in supply. not
because 1t is Of greater food value.
Many times the most medicinal part
of the vegetable Ia left in the water
and thrown away.
There Is as much genius needed to
practice the little economies In the
home as it takes to write poetry. and
we can live without poetry but not
without cooks.
Women, as a rule. know more about
the wearing qualities OF clothing than
about sustaining qualities Of foods.
quart Of oysters equals quart Of

One of the greatest faults of house
keepers is lack Of forehandedness.
Getting ready ahead of time takes
