JOBS FOR THE INDECENT.

Swiss Method of Solving the Problem
of the Unemployed.
In Switzerland the people act upon
the theory that a man who is unem-
ployed is, If left to himself, liable to
become waste by being a subject of
charity and tax upon the community.
Therefore the problem is considered as
an economic question.
The purpose is to assist the unfor-
tunate unemployed to secure work, not
only for the sake of his family, but in
the interests of the state. There is no
liberation for the loafer. Begging is
prohibited by the law, and vagrancy is
classified as a crime.
II an unemployed person does not
make serious effort to find work the
authorities will find 1t for him, and
he is compelled to perform it. If he
refuses he is placed in the workhouse,
where strict discipline is maintained
and every inmate is required to work
to his full capacity, receiving therefor
his board and lodging and from to
10 cents day in wages.
There are also institutions where
temporary employment is furnished to
persons out of work, through no fault
of their own, and comfortable accom-
modations and some money compensa-
ton given until they can find more re-
munerative ages.-Chicago Tribune.

STORIES OF THE STAGE.
A Splendid Accident Averted and az
Actor Who Dined Too Well.

A Splendid Accident AVertsd and an
Actor Who Dined Too Well.
Here is an incident that was related
by the late Bran Stoker, for many
years manager to Irving Of the produc-
ton of Hamlet" at the Lyceum in
London.
On the second night of the perform
ance the Chinese ambassador and Sir
Halliday Mccartney came to see Irving
In his dressing room, and presently the
ambassador, who was wearing mag
nifcent robes Of mandarin yellow, wan
dered off in the direction of the stage
The ambassador was close to the edge
of the arch at the back Of the scene
where Ophelia had made her entrance
and would make her exit. Mr.. Stoker
Jumped for him and just succeeded IL
catching him before he had passed into
the blaze of the limelight. l could
fancy the sudden amazement Of the
audience and the wild roar of laughter
that would follow when in the midst
of this most sad and pathetic Of scenes
would enter unheralded this gorgeous
anachronism."
Mr. Stoker confessed that he was
tempted to let the splendid accident oc
cur ats unique grotesqueness would
have insured a widespread publicity
not to be acquired by ordinary forms
Of adv ertiseInent."
On another occasion a very different
and very painful contretemps did Oc
cur. The actor who took the part oil
Polonius on entering gave his first line
with SO strange an information that Irv
ing at once signed to the prompter to
let fall the act drop, came forward and
apologized to the audience and restart
ed the play with new Polonius!--

A CHANcERY ROMANCE.

Heipin9 Friend, He Unearthed For

Perhaps there is no more curious
chapter in the history of the chancery
courts than that of two Pittsburgh
men. The first had claim to small
estate abroad, but he did not have the
money to pay the claim agency to
make a search, SO he got q friend to
back him.
This friends name was Peterman,
and the money he advanced was like a
grub stake-he was gambling on his
friends claim proving up.
One day when Peterman was at the
claim agency Office he came upon this

Paris"
That was the inception of the IA
nous 'Kinsey docks" case, the name
coming from the fact that the original
Peterman was last seen at Kinsey
docks, in Liverpool. The claim agency
took the matter in hand, traced Peter
mans lineage back and enabled him
TO establish a good claim to an inner
itnnce of 100000.
That was a case of fortune being
thrust upon a man. = Lewis Edwin

Since the avenues of danger are SO

MAIL VAN FOR UNCLE SAM
Constructed to Aid in Distribu-
tion of Mail and to Sort
Mail Gathered

Four officials OF the Detroit post

to informally inspect an automobile
motor van designed to facilitate the
collection and distribution or mail and
Invented by Frank Dancer, who was
formerly employed as a clerk In sta
ton A of the Detroit postoffice, but
who is now connected with Brett
meyer & Son.
The trip was made by Assistant
Postmaster Charles +. Swan. Oliver
Burke, superintendent of delivery;
William II. Martin. acting superintend'
ent of malls and j. j. Larmour, post
office inspector.
The automobile is designed to fur.
nish a conveyance for carriers going
out to distant routes and to be capable
of quick transformation into q sorting
office for use in picking up mail from
street boxes on the return trip. With
clerk at work In the van on the re-
turn trip the mail would be sorted and
ready to go through the stamping ma
chimes Immediately on its arrival at
the postoffice. The seats on which the
carriers would ride on the outbound
trip are built so that they can be hung
against the side Of the car, out Of the
way, on the inbound trip, while a
folding table is ready for the clerk to
work upon and sorting case Is sus-
pended from the ceiling.
On the experimental trip Monday
