Tn. Hotel Hoodoo Room

1--WE used to have a room In the old
Fifth Avenue hotel that was known as
the suicide ROOM" said former clerk
"Of course the name was an ofiice sc
cret, but whenever one OF us rented
that room TO a stranger we never felt
quite comfortable about him until aft
er he had left the hotel. Now that
the old hotel is gone there can be no
harm In mentioning TINT the number
Of the room was 569. don't see how
even the most superstitious person
could get hoodoo out OF that number.
and nobody ever refused to take n so
far as I know. but II Is a fact that of
the twenty-five suicides that took place
In the Fifth Avenue hotel during fifty
years. seventeen occurred in room BOO.
The last that took place was that OF a
young woman. who drowned herself
In a bathtub. You viii lind that in
any big hotel that has been running
for any length OF time there Is a room
that has a hoodoo OF some kind on it."

Parson Whites precautionary meas
ure of protecting his chicken coop with
chilled steel bars was futile. for that
very night four more of his choice
Leghorns disappeared. leaving the sew

Of the theft. However. his suspicious
pointed toward his next door neigh

a witty Replv.

It was during one OF the recent
strikes. An old man. evidently a strik-
er. who looked rather seedy and down
at the heel. went up to trio OF young
strikers who were standing at the cor
ner OF the street and asked IL one OF
them could lend him a match. One OF
the young men. thinking he would
have joke at the old mans expense.
handed him a match and with a seri-
Gus face said 10 him:
But when will get It back7"
After the strike" was the quick
though unexpected reply.-San Fran

Grace Knives

There is a curious class OF knives OF
the sixteenth century the blades Of
which have engraved on one side the
musical notes TO the benediction OF the
table. or grace before meat. and on the
other the grace after meat. These
knives usually went in sets OF four.
representing a four part harmony Of
bass, tenor. alto and treble They
were kept in an upright case OF stamp
ed leather and were placed before the
singers according to the adaptation Of
each one to his particular part. AS
may be supposed. the inscription was
usually in Latin. The following speci-
men IS taken from actual knives Of
the period: PRO tuis benedciis Deus.
gratias agimus tibi" For thy good
gifts, o God. we thank theel.

iy that people who buy have got rude
enough to do that. Clerks always did

out that was prerogative Of the
trade. For the customer TO assume the

people nowadays are pretty good
judges Of bad money. and every little

counterfeit. The only way tradesmen
can teach customers the respect due
them is to turn their own backs when

the custom in England. No tradesman

sequence no customed has ever taken
That liberty with him."

GESTt5;

Kidney diseases Increase l67 per
cent in the City OF Chicago in one
generation.
One Of the most appalling facts
brought to light by the statistics Of
the United States Census bureau, Is
the increase of kidney and bladder
diseases. In less than one generation
these dreadful ailments have in.
creased l67 per cent in the City OF
Chicago and in much the same ratio
in other parts Of the United States.
These diseases arise almost wholly
from the process Of straining the
human machine. They may be due TO
over feeding or under feeding, to ov.
er work or under work, in fact to any
of those Irregularities in living which
the average man or woman subjects
the body to.
Every three minutes the entire
blood supply passes through the kid.
neys which act as very fine filters
separating the waste from the pure
blood and eliminating 1T through the
bladder.
During the years OF hard work the
kidneys break down causing bladder
troubles, Brights diseases, backache
and a dozen other ailments which al

PUPILS PREPARED FOR HIM
Member Of School Board Finds They
Need No Lesson In Pronuncia-
tlon From Him.

The member of the board of public
education who was visiting one OF the
schools In the primary department
had made little speech to the chill
dren on the Importance of correct pro
annexation. Picking up chalk cray
on, he wrote the word "heinous" on
the blackboard.
ITO give you an example, boys and
girls" he said, II wonder how many
of you know how to pronounce that
word"
''Haynus!" shouted the children In
concert.
Miss Guernsey" said the visitor,
turning suspiciously to the teacher.
"how did you know was going to
try them on that"
Il didn't know Il, Mr.. Judson." she
answered, but ! am something Of
crank on pronunciation myself, and
we have frequent drills on words. You
will find that these children know
how to pronounce exquisite despic.

Jntor, naivete, sacrifice, genealogy,
program. gerrymander, discipline,
paresis, caoutchouc, exemplary and
hilarious, together with many others
that do not occur to me just now"

What Ne Remembered,

When q prospective voter in one OF
Chicago's election districts was asked
the date Of his naturalization he re-
piled that he had taken out his pa
pers so long before that he could not
remember just when he had become
an American.
The officer to whom this statement
was made was extremely thoughtful
for moment. Then he added:
Can you remember who was the
Republican candidate for president
that year?
Sure, don't remember who was
running for prisidint," was the re-
Spouse, but 1t was the same year
that Stuffy McGinnis was appointed
Dog Drownder."

Wife Wins, az Usual.

"Of course, one can never win an
argument with ones wife," remarked
a broker the other day. Even II ons
is perfectly right in his contention,
the fates, or the postoffice department
or something else will turn UP to
make It appear that the man is wrong.
For instance, few days ago my wife
remarked that letter in a plain en-.
velope dropped In a letter box would
be delivered even II Il had no stamp.
OF course knew better, and told her
80, but she was obstinate. Just to
prove my contention when ! was at
the Office the next day ! drew a pic
