Why He Had to Have an Office

An inherited fortune and the dis.
posal OF an organized business enabled
a welEknown ChIcagoan to retire. He
had the inclination for leisure. but
could not surrender the idea of having
a definite business abiding spot.
He rented an office In loft building
and went to Europe After q six months
absence he returned. looked the build
ing over and went to South America
Then, after again verifying the report
that the building was not crumbling.
he took jaunt to Japan.
Not long ago one of his old cronies
said:
Frank, why don't you give up your
office-you don't need it."
That's true" said Frank 81 would
give it up, but don't know what to
DO with the rug"

"hlle the great moneyed and in
dustrial combinations of the present
day, known as trusts" are quite mod.
ern affairs, it is true that the trust
idea Is almost as old as history. I'm
der the Roman Empire, and even
away back among the peoples Of
Egypt and the other eastern nations
we find the germs, at least. of the
modern trust. The fundamental idea
at the bottom Of the doctrine Of the
present day trust is that of the OK.
ploitation of the many by the few and
1t was against such an Idea that tho
Gracchi died in Rome. In fact. all An.
cient history is little more than tho
story OF the Few combining for mower
and wealth against the many, and
that Is all that the trust of TO-DAY
means.

So, far from forgetting its youthful

Wreaths for Fallen Avlators,

The French officers belonging to the
aviation corps are SO daring, and the
risks so great that they take in their
effort to perfect themselves IN this
new art, that accidents have been far
more numerous than the outside world
dreams. Recently the head of the
department informed the military avi-
ators that hereafter the sum Of half
franc would be deducted from their
pay in order to buy wreaths for the
graves of those who lose their lives
in the fulfillmenl of their duty. Here
tofore each officer has simply con-
tributed toward this tribute, but the
loss of life has been so fearful that 1t
has been decided to set aside a GER
tain amount for this purpose.

HOUSE ROBBED.

Sneak thieves entered the home Of
Mrs. Geo. Sroble Sunday might and
made a good haul, getting about $50
in money and some valuable iewelry
belonging to Mrs. Stroble and her
daughter, Mrs. Fred Pressd. Mrs.
Strobe and Mr.. and Mrs. Pressl left
the home about eight O'Clock and
vent over on the east side to visit
Mr. PressPs mother and ON their re-
turn home found the house had been
robbed. Entry was made through
rear window and. the thieves tore the
house up pretty generally in their
search for plumber. The officers this
morning found an alligator hand bag
or pocketbook which belonged to Mrs
Pressl which had been thrown away
as Valueless because it was hard to
open. 1t contained smaller pocket
book with s25 in it and this much
was saved.
The robbery occurred at a time
when there was, a number Of. people
abort the Methodist church, which
stands beside the Strobe home and
some clues will possibly lead to the
detection of the thieves. The officers
think they have the clue that will
lead to the recovery of the valuables.
