COST OF LIVING.

Father lived in a cottage Of brick
And heated that cottage by fireplaces;
The light was little oil lamp with a wick;
We pumped the water to wash faces.
1 live in flat with electric light,
Steam heat--an modern appurtenances;
Piano and such things mine by right
I'm man in moderat circumstances"
Father would seldom go to a show;
To church he rode in the family surrey.
I keep an auto-thus one must go
To keep abreast of this age Of hurry.
Father raised most of his kitchen truck.
And he kept pigs and and chickens;
Such stuff I buy, and it's nip and tuck
To meet the bills-they cost like the dickens!
We had new clothes just twice year
And paid heed TO comfort and not to fashion;
A hint of that and I'm called near
Economy throws my wife in a passion!
Two thousand a year had father then,
Spared some for saving and some for giving
But 1 can scarcely make out with ten
Because of the higher cost of living"

hackmen of town have profited great
ly, but none so much as Charley Quinn,
liveryman of many years, who drove
enough hacks to procure three automo-
biles and now has a monopoly on the

Quinn has driven Woodrow Wilson
for nearly fifteen years.
And all the time I've driven him."
said Quinn, las professor in that uni

and as president-elect, he's been mighty

The president-elect has a number of
requests for speaking engagements. II
he granted them all he would be
speaking every night from now until
March 4.

New York, Nov. 11.-With no inten-

Hon. William Lyon Mackenzie King,
minister Of labor Of Canada. has come
to this city to take Hazel Macfarlane
back with him from the glare of the
footlights Of the Academy Of Music,
where h is playing, to the splendor
Of his home In Canada.
Why did Miss Macfarlane, 20 a
old, come to this city? 1t is a romance
Of a girl with a desire to become a
star against the advice of her friends
and parents, and even against the wish
Of tho man who has followed her here
to make her his wife.
Miss Macfnrlane is the daughter Of
T. D. Macfarlane, inspector Of mines
of the Canadian government In Yukon,
For several years she has been In
Westminster college, In Toronto, and
took part in amateur theatricals, With
her sweet voice and winning ways she
thought that her future on the stage
would be assured. and gave up her So
cial life to make her way alone in this
city, strange to her until two weeks
ago.
While in Toronto she met Mr.. King,
and Cupid's darts hit both. There Is
a whisper that the two were engaged
to marry, and all was going along
swimmingly until one day, when Miss
Macfarlane decided that her happi-
ness lay in the theater rather than in
h home of the man who loves her.
Miss Macfarlane is playing In "Ha-
vana." Without letting her know he
was in town. MI. King went to thu
theater last night and sat in the first
row. When Miss Macfarlane discovered
him. her acting was for him alone.
