st. Louis. Mo--The Southern hotel,
the Oldest place of its kind in St.
Louis. and one OF the best known in
America. is no more.
The hotel has remained true to the
tradition of Its founders. Il was de-
signed as a hostelry of the first class
and 1t has never been anything else
The history of the Southern hotel is
closely interviewer with that of St
Louis. Its fame is not confined TO its
own city, state and nation.
Its spacious lobby, its wide cor
ridors, its commodious rooms. its
luxurious furnishings and 'ts air Of
aristocracy have been enjoyed and
commented on by men and women
from all nations.
The Southern hotel was rebuilt en-
the site of the original Southern ho-
tel, erected in 1865
Before the old building was de-
stroyed by fire the night Of April IL,
1877. it was the most pretentious cara
vansary here. 1t sheltered many not
sbles.
It was there, in the early '70s. that
The Grand Duke Alexis was enter

blondes, who had created sensation
in America after making a conquest

Freddie Gerhard. the rich American,
who needed not the tibes OF the news

professional beauty from one engage

her.
1t was only a few years later that
the hotel burned with a frightfIll loss
OF life. Outwardly the original South
ern hotel presented the same appear
ance as the present structure. But
when 1t caught FIRE It burned like
finder.
Phelim o'Toole and Mike Hester
were the heroes Of that fire. They
rescued dozens Of guests who were
caught on upper floors.
The new building was completed In
1880, and from the opening it was one
OF the most fashionable hotels in the
West The lesson learned from the
burning OF the old building and the
large loss of life attending it resulted
in the new building being absolutely
freproof. It was subjected to the
most drastic tests and withstood them
all.

POPULAR SYMBOL OF VALUE
Young Man Evidently Was Lacking In

There is plenty OF food for cynical

A worldly young man. prone to crit

the car. One advertised q new kind
OF collar for men. The dome of the
capitol was represented encircled by
one OF the collars. and on the SEN

ing were placards giving prices and
sizes. The placard on the senate end
of the capitol read. Quarter size.

chIld,a Fear Of the DARK

If mothers notice that the brains Of
their little ones conjure up uncanny
sights and thoughts from the shadows
of a room more or less dark. let the
light burn brightly. To force a child
to become accustomed TO the darkness
is a grave error, if its nervous system
is SO organized that this forcing is
productive of a fright.
The nervous system of a child is a
very susceptible organization and the
deleterious impressions made upon 1t
will often make their influence felt
throughout it's whole after life. If the
child asks for light under such cir,
