The Range That Mnl.
Really Saves Fuel Ct$:!!!:!sSSs$

Probably every one that ever looked at a range was told
by the salesman that it was a "fuel saver"
That's because they all realize that fuel economy is the most
attractive of all features about a range to a thoughtful person.
Ordinary least iron and steel ranges" waste fuel, because
after a little use the bolts work loose, where the steel is bolted
to the iron, and the stove putty dries up and falls out of the
seams.
Then it begins to take more fuel to keep a fire on account
of the "air leaks through the once tight joints, which open up
wider year by year till the range soon consumes twice as much
fuel as it did when new.
Good, Sound Reasons for MONARCH
Economy.
Monarch Ranges are built so that they can never have
"ar leaks"
For around every opening into the body there is a Male
able Iron frame to which the steel is riveted.
If these other ranges were built in this way they might be
economical too.

PETER PINOAR'S RUSE.
His AffIiction Enabled the Astuts Ru-
thor to Drive Good Bargain
With His Publishers.

Some time about the beginning Of the
nineteenth century Peter Pindar Dr.
John WolcotU drove a good bargain
with the publishers, Robinson &
Walker. While negotiations were under
way the author developed an attack
Of asthma, which was always at its
most distressing stage whenever the
publishers were present. He was only
nfy-seven then, but the publishers de-
ctded that their chances were good
and agreed to pay him a annuity Of
ESQ instead OF a lump sum for his
work.
Soon after the bond was signed the
doctor went to Cornwall, where he re-
covered his health, and returned to
London without any cough, which was
Tar from being a pleasing sight to the
persons who had to pay his annuity.
One day he called upon Mr.. Walker,
the manager for the parties. who, sur
veytng him with a scrutinizing eye,
asked him how he did. Much better,
thank yOu,' said WOIcOtt II have
taken the measure Of my asthma; the
fellow is troublesome. but know his
strength and am his master" "Oh!1
said Mr.. Walker graveIy. and turned
into an adjoining room, where Mrs.
Walker, q prudent woman. had been
listening TO the conversation. WOlcOtt.

Prominent in the list OF the saved
from the Titanic was ]. Bruce Ismay
one of the owners of the boat
Ismay says he was asked to get in
a life boat. Well it wasn't compul-
sorry for him to obey was it? There
were passengers who had paid thous-
ands for suites who were entitled to
far more than Ismay was entitled to.
Special provision was made for Is
may in the life boat He accepted it.
Thence he was carried aboard to the
Carpathia and given specially re-
served suite of rooms A sign was
put on the door Don't Knock" The
first thing that Ismay said when he
got on the Carpathia was FOR
GODS SAKE GET ME- SOMETHING
TO EAT I DON'T CARE WHAT IT
is OR WHAT 1T COSTS" Ismay
was thinking of his own belly, not OF
the poor souls who were drowned
through the criminality of his com.
pany. He was not thinking of Butt
Aston or the scores OF heroes bach
there, fathoms deep WHO COULI
HAVE BEEN SAVED but refused.
He was only thinking of Ismay.

ARE WOMEN THUS /?

Here is Marion Fairfax's astonish-
ing charge:
i charge that many wives of today,
being idle, restless and thoughtless,
are: Insincere in their advocacy of
the Women's Movement; bad house
keepers and unmindful of their hus-
bands comfort and health; uninter-
ested in their husbands efforts to
make a home, thereby seriously
handicapping him; dangerously will
ing to permit so-called Platonic
friendships: prone to shirk their fair
share of the responsibilities of the
martial relation; dangerous to the
community through their thoughless
and insincere expression of radical
views.
Is this a true bill?

FOOD AND GOOD BEHAVIOR.

Malcolm Mcdowell, the newspaper
reporter who became a banker and
then exercised some of his newspaper
kindness in giving the down and outs
warm coffee on cold nights is a be-
lever in the civilization of food saws
the Joliet News. At recent discus
sion with an Oscar G. Mayer at his
side he advocated food for the work
ers at the expense of the corpora
/ lions. Some of this discussion is
worth thinking about, and 1t is here
quoted:
Mr.. Mayer said: This plan will be
adopted by the corporations Just as
soon as they realize it means mouey
| in their pocket and it does mean bet
ter and more work, If their men are
| fed"
Mr.. Mcdowell offered a concrete
example. He told of sending out 15o
men of his winter coffee line" tc
work at some rather heavy grading
labor in the winter time.
THE fellows hadn't had anything
to eat for day or two." he said
''and they simply weren't able to d.
the work. Because they lacked
strength the bosses thought they
were soldering and fired the bunch
Then I caught it from the firm
told them what the trouble was
They got more men and fed then

THE LAST MOMENTS.

We now have the story of the
sinking of the Titanic, the narrowing
events that lead up to it; the i'm
pressions of the survivors and in fact
all the awful scenes that attended
the going down of the floating palace
but there is one thing we have not
and never will have on this side of
the eternity and that is the thoughts
of the brave heroes who went down
with the ship.
Imagination is unable to fathom
their impressions as they saw the
little cookie shell life boats contain
Ing all that was dear to them on
earth fading away in the icy dark
ness. We have no means of knowing
the last thoughts of the heroic cap
tain, officers and 700 odd sailors as
the waters were about to engulf
them.
1t all happened quickly and unex-
pectedly. There doesn't seem TO
have been any extraordinary alarm
lup to the time the last boats left,
but after that when the wounded
ship listed and filled, when foot by
foot the water approached the
promenade decks, what happened is
not for us to know
With the ship orchestra standing
knee deep in water playing Nearer
My God to Thee" and a few voices
singing the verses as heard across
the trackaess waste of water by hys-
terical women, the thoughts of the
doomed meA on deck, oh what were
they?

takes notice of the traffic rush
