The Brothe.hoo Home of Cleveland

Il can give him bed, stake him to q

Fred" did want to live better and
went to work with a will In a week
they rented another room, and went
again to the director with the request
for the parole of two other members
of the workhouse night school class
They promised to give them food and
lodging, and to get them work. The
four in turn put by something each
day for grub stakes" for other I'M
fortunates and presently the club had
a membership of nine.
Soon after that the Brotherhood, as
1t had come to be known, moved to a
ten-room house on the lake front. The
parole officer went in debt for 5000
worth of furniture. At the end of the
year the club showed an earning
which nearly took 1t out of debt. Ten
rooms were added, followed by ten
more a little later. 1t was self-sup-
porting, and had paid for $4,000 worth
of furniture. The later history of the
organization is record of continued
efficient work, with finances fairly
easy when work is plenty, and pain
fully tight when 1t is scarce. Outside
help has been necessary from time to
time.

RISES LIKE A sP|RE
New York Building Which Is
Forty-Five Stories High.
New Woolworth Structure on Broad
wsy Stands 625 Feet Above the
Street, and There Are Three
Stories Below Ground.

New York-The accompanying pic
ture is of the new Woolworth build
ing to be erected on Broadway In
New York. 1t will occupy the south
west corner Of Broadway and Park
Place, the site of Mayor Philip Homes
famous Broadway residence opposite
the park" 1t is estimated that this
newest addition to New York great
skyscrapers will cost $5,000,000, From
the sidewalk to the top of the tower
there will be As stories, the total
height being 625 feet, exceeding the
height of the Singer tower, Just hve
blocks below, by IS feet. Only one
building in New York will be higher,
the Metropolitan, whose tower rises
700 feet and inches above the street
level. The only other loftier structure
in the world is the Eiffel tower, 9S6
feet, making the Woolworth building
the third highest edifice in the world
and the second highest in America
The frontage of the building on Broad
way will be 105 feet and on Park
Place 1877 feet. The main building
will rise to height of 26 stories. The
tower beginning at this point will con
tain 10 stories The tower at the pin
nacle will be SO feet square, larger In
dimensions by about 20 feet than the
Singer tower. Below the street
there will be three stories. Counting
these, the building will actually have

there had been great black mud
hole where the wells have since been
sunk The water was stagnant and
the spot, was known simply as a place
where hundreds of range cattle had
dropped out of sight In the old days
into what appeared to be bottom
less well.
The cost Of the water year to the
average family is s195. The water
company which now has control of
the wells does not employ the meter
system in measuring the supply, but
the water flow is gagged by the size
of the pipes running into the indi-
vidual homes.
The cost of supplying a house for
all purposes with the natural hot wa
ter is somewhat heavier than with
the ordinary furnace system, but
there are advantages. There are no
furnaces In the homes using the nat
ural hot water, the danger of fire is
greatly reduced, and there is none OF
the dirt and inconvenience connected
with tie handling Of coal and wood
for fire purposes.
So curative we're the waters con
sidered that they we're carried by
them back to their camps, where
they were rubbed on the limbs of In
valids to heal rheumatic and kindred
complaints.

stepmother OF Mint Jules,

Romance and poetry have delighted
to weave garlands with which to cele.
brate and perpetuate the glory of the
blue grass in old Kentucky, famed for
it's fine horses, beautiful women and
mint.
Kentucky has been designated as
the home OF the mint julep, and its
colonels have become famous all over
the world for the easy and graceful
way in which they drink whisky with
a little dash OF sugar and sprig or
two of mint in order, chiefly, to over
come the necessity for large amount
of water in the beverage. The true
Kentuckian doesn't want his whisky
drowned
It transpires, however. that the real
home of the mint and the mint tulep
is right here in Missouri, whose crop
of mint last year amounted to 1858
pounds, or enough to make 1,224,32
juleps. This amount includes the mar.
keted product only. no account hay

sands of juleps which were compound

AWFUL RECORD OF MURDER
Estimated That We Now Have an
Average of 200 Week In
This Country.

Chicago-A well-known statistician
makes the statement that we now
have an average of 200 murders a
week, or 10000 every year, in this
country.
In Chicago there are 118 murders
a year; In Paris, Is; in London, four
times as large as Chicago, 20; while
in three years the number of lives
taken in this way in this country
equals the total number lost by the
British army in the Boer war. The
number of murders in the United
States has increased four and a half
times in the last 20 years. The MUIR
der spots Of the world seem to be
Italy and Mexico. The number per
year in Italy is So to the 100000
Much of this killing comes from
our polyglot population, gathered
from all the countries of the world,
jostling and crowding each other; the
loose habits which people take on,
and the natural passions that, In a
moment of excitement, give rise to
the taking Of life.
To kill and main seems to be an
American ambition. The railroads of
the country are killing 10000 people
year on the average. The steel
mills in many places have been great
slaughter houses. The autos, too, are
piling up their lists of victims, the
sports are adding theirs, and other
factors are entering In to swell the
total.
Malice and passion are the causes
Of crime and these ought to be
curbed. Only two per cent of the
homicides in the country are brought
to punishment, and the reasons are
aversion to capital punishment and
the miscarriage of justice. Capital
punishment is necessary, however, as
deterrent Where it has been aboL
ished murder is on the increase.

MILWAUKEE, Wis.-The city of
W Milwaukee will have another mu-
nicipal ball. This is the declaration
of the city administration after a re-
view of the initial municipal dance at
which the mayor. city officials and
society danced in the same hall as
workingmen and women.
II think these gatherings have
something about them that will make
for the betterment of the city" says
Mayor Seidel. You know when we
read about each other In the papers
or hear each other talked about we
sometimes think that the other fell
lows are awful fellows. But when we
look into each others eyes we find
that the other fellows are not so bad

For one thing, I hope to see these
dances as democratic as they can be.
Gentlemen will leave their dress suits
at home at the next dance, l hope. If

LEVELAND, O.-An institution

Cleveland, Ohio, is the Brotherhood

was paroled from the Cleveland house
of correction. While there he had
been teacher in the night school,
and had become interested in the
Bible class He was man of more
intelligence than the average work

with a shipbuilding company. When
he drew his first wages he went to
