sufficient to keep body and soul
together.
We are convinced, too, that
working girls are every whit as
moral, every whit as pure and
clean at heart, as any member of
Chicago fashionable, rich and idle
society"
We even know some working
girls whom we would back
any number of society
women when it came to purity.
And we don't see that the Chi
<cago Wo1nan's club needs to wor-
'ry itself over the morality of girls
who are just as good as they are.
The photographs of the mem
bers of the Chicago Womar's
club often are published in the
newspapers. And those of them
whose pictures. are published say:
ooh, how horrid this nasty
publicity isP'
And then go and call the atten-
-tion of all their friends to the fact
that their pictures, WERE pub
lished.
4 Then their friends, whose pic
Itures were NOT published, get
fscre about it, and, start some new
.MOWEMENT and poster the
lie out of editors in order to get
THEIR pictures in the paper.
II Oh, we know all about this
"horrid publicity" end of it, hav-
ing had our lives made a burden
by just such women as compose
the Chicago Woman's club, and

1t wants to be popular with the
working girls, just as newspapers
which always are publishing pic
lures of the members of the Chi
eago Woman's club want to be
popular with the Woman's club
members.
But that doesn't make any diff
ference!
Heaven knows the working
girl has her troubles! What be-
tween poor wages and the sons
of society" women who seem to
look upon her as their lawful
prey, there are times when the
working girl must wonder if life
is worth living.
+ But we see no reason why her
lot should be made any harder
by a lot of rich and idle society"
women presuning to worry over
her morality!
And we sincerely hope The
Tribune will go right ahead pub
fishing those pictures and fiat
tering the working girls whose

RICHES THRUST UPON HIM
Though German Did Not Know II, He
Had Identified Himself With
Nefarious Gang.

Not very long ago a German or
ganist, who went to st. Petersburg
to live, had there an experience with
a new cap that for a time almost
made him believe in the magic Of
the Teutonic fairy tales.
The organist bought the cap dur
ing his first day at the Russian CAPT.
tai, and wore it the next day when
he went out for a walk. On his re-
turn to his lodgings he was amazed
to find two gold purses in his pocket,
one of which contained a sum equiv
alent to $50.
The next day, after his usual walk,
he found four purses in his outside
pocket, a find that caused him to
doubt his senses. A third day, with
a similar profitable result, sent him
to the chief of police to tell his story.
The authorities detailed a detec-
tive to 60 with the German to the
tailor who made the cap. Investi-
cation disclosed the fact that it had
been CONSTRUCTED of an odd piece of
English cloth brought in by a stran-
ger. From it the tailor had made
fifteen identical caps to order. Hav-
ing a bit left, he had constructed a
sixteenth cap, which was the one he
sold to the organist.
The detective then followed the
organist through the streets of the
city, when the mystery was solved.
The cap, it appears, was the emblem
a gang Of pickpockets working CO.
'peratively. The one who secured a
purse dropped it into the pocket of
he first confederate he saw. The
had identified the German, and
lie had reaped the reward.
With this clew it was an easy mat
er for the Russian authorities to
atch the whole gang.-Youth's

WERE NOT GOOD CITIZENS
How Men Behaved Who Saw a Bonfire
Burning Holes in the AS
phalt Pavement.

Some urchin had started a bonfire
of rubbish in the street. A law-abid-
ing woman looked out of the win
dow, noted the night wind blowing
blazing fragments about, remem-
bered that fire burns holes in as
phalt pavement-and reached for
the telephone. She called up the
nearest fire station, reported the mat
ter and got the assurance that a
man would be sent over at once to
put out the blaze. 1t was rather a
long distance, however, and while
she watched from the window for the
fireman she amused herself observ-
ing how the passersby regarded the
fire. Surely, she thought, some
body would stamp it out before the
fireman arrived.
An Italian who had a chestnut
brazier on the opposite corner
glanced over, lifted something from
his stand and crossed the street. The
woman was sorry she had called up
the department, since there was a
n%ear-citizen who would quickly put
out the blaze. Tony swooped upon
it with the lid of his chestnut brazier
scooped up a bunch of glow
ing embers to augment his fuel! A
moment later along came a we'll
dressed man carrying an umbrella,
a large package and an evening pa
AS he drew near the fire he
hesitated. He put down his parcel
and his evening paper, stood his UNI
brella against them and stepped
toward the fire. A good citizen! A
.public-spirited man. He bent down,
got hold of a blazing stick, lighted
MS cigar at the flame, gathered up
his property and passed on.
The the fireman hove into view,
carrying a galvanized iron pail,
which he filed at the nearest hy-
lrant and with one well-directed
lash transformed the bonfire into a
mall heap of charred splinters.

GOING ~"A-GooDlNe."

Going "a-gooding" or "a-mump-
ing" on December 21 (St. Thomas
day. is still practiced by women and
boys in many districts. The idea is
to collect money or eatables for
Christmas festivity, and sprigs of
evergreen are left at houses where a
gift is received. This last custom
is thought to be derived from pagan
times, having been the practice of
the Druids to send their young dis
clples round from home to home
with sprigs of mistletoe or holly as a
peace offering before the great winter
festival.

hundred yards of one another a

shotgun, a two handed Crusaders

over four feet long,, a slender, in

is supplying Turkey with soldiers as
