What do l care about a name? My own name Is good enough. in fact it is better than the dog of q man who betrayed me. I would not handicap my baby by giving him hls fathers name, and any way, that name is dead to me after what l have suffered"
 Because l am not interested in the matter. The humane society merely wants to get as many peo- pie in trouble as possible without doing anyone any good. I don't care where the man has gone. He has dropped out of my life just as much as though l happened to meet him now and killed him."
 You don't think that the court would punish me If l killed him do you? l am sure nothing would be done to me. Oh, don't know whether I would kill him or just ignore him if I happened to meet him face to face. But forget him, l don't care any more about him or where he has gone"
 You will give the baby your own name, then?"
 Why, not?" she answered. "To me my name is just as good as if ever was, and it is only a matter that concerns the baby and me"
 Are you not sorry that your child is a boy?"
 Certainly 1 am. Why shouldn't l be-" she answered with show of spirit, "I have never really liked men, and l certainly loathe all of them now, want to get work somewhere where I will not be brought In contact with men"

SUCCESS"
 By George Fitch

Success is what a man achieves when he accomplishes his aim There Is success of suspicion that sue cess consists of either of fame or riches, but there are really a great many kinds of success. It depends on what man aims at. Some men spell success as follows: Success" They are successful as soon as the federal grand jury indicts them for trying to run the earth
 Other men have an ambition to die outside of the poorhouse If they do this by a margin of ? cents and two shirts tLey are successful men.
 Some men are not successful until the whole world talks about them. Others are successful until people begin to talk about them, after which they have to throw away per fectly good name and become some DouS tlSe, elSeW ueTe.
 A statesman is successful if the next generation remembers him. A politician is successful 1T the gov ernor-elect remembers him.
 A novelist is successful when everybody reads him. A poet is successful when nobody understands him.
 An artist is successful when peo- pie buy his pictures. So is mat inee actor. A humorist is success full when everybody laughs at him But an inventor isn't successful un- til everyone is sorry they laughed at him.
 A farmer is successful when he can raise enough corn to buy an automobile. An automobile dealer is successful when he can sell enough automobiles to buy farm
 An aviator is successful when he succeeds in staying up in the air. That is the difference between an aviator and baseball pitcher.
 Some people are successful early in life, like Joseph Hoffman, who was a famous pianist at 3, or Pitt, who was prime minister at 9. Others do not succeed until several hundred years after they are dead. It took 
 Poe, who starved to death, is now one of our most successful writers.
 Success Is sweet, but 1t is also in- toXicating and goes to the head faster than Tom and Jerry. The cautious man who is about to be successful will incase his head in barrel hoops and defy it to do Its worst

BATTLE

By George itch

Seattle is a contasion which is spreading rapidly over the shores of Puget Sound and has so far perma- nently affected 237. .OOO people. It covers l1O square miles and is call a city by it's inhabitants and a for est reservation by Tacoma and other jealous rivals.
 Seattle stands on the salt sea shore at an average angle of 4O de grees. it being necessary in spots for the intrepid Seattler to use an Alpine stock while chasing goats off of his mansard garden. A man named Thompson has been changing all of this by washing the hills out from under the business section and then lowering the buildings to earth by means of parachutes. Be cause of this. Seattle is the only city in the world which has sky line that is going down, and the old resident who comes back after a few years absence has to take d balloon to find the spots where he played in his childhood. Thanks to Mir. Thompson. h good many Seattle cellars are now twenty stor- is above the street. but the busi. ness thoroughfares are now fairly level and the citizen who slips on d banana peel while going to his bank does not have to take an elevator back to pick up his hat.
 Seattle was founded In 1852. but owing to the damp climate and the scarcity of settlers equipped with both lungs and gills, It grew very slowly and only acquired a pOpula tion of l5O in the first ten years

Birth of lllegitiate Brings
 lmprecatlons on Father Head

DENVER, June g. Agnes An derson, the mother of the ashpit walf found week ago half buried Ill the ashes in the rear of a Thir- teenth avenue home, was told last night by the surgeons in the county hospital that she would live. She has known for several days that her child, born to her out of we'd lock. was daily becoming a rugged and healthy youngster.
 The usual tired expression about the girl mothers face vanished when she received her assurance of life. She turned toward the haby boy, lying in an adjoining crib near her cot, and the realization of mother love became manifest. Un- til she should receive the assur- ance of surgeons that she would live she had fought down the mother instinct within her. She then gave way to deep and silent grief - perhaps, not grief, for she seemed glad, too, and wanted to live for the boy.
 Why don't you aid the humane agents in finding the father of your child?"
 II know that lot of old women gossips have been saying awful things about me because l tried tu keep my secret" the girl said last night. But don't care now They cant hurt me or the baby and just as soon as we get we'll we will go away together and will slave for him"
 What name do you intend to give the baby?" she was asked.

COST OF LIVING
 RISING IN LONDON

LONDON. June 13. The em- ployers allege that the strike Of the transport workers is collapsing. Ac- cording to port authority of London, 6.000 men are at work. and they could get 2,OOO more. Forty ships are unloading and some are leaving.
 Ben Tillett and his co-strike lead CT, O. A. Bell, indignantly deny this They say that not more than 1,50O men are working, and that 5,OO0 men joined the strikers today.
 It is very difficult to learn the truth, as the docks which are cap able of being closed have really been closed to all undesired inquiries af- ter information. There is no doubt, however, that more men were work in gtoday than at any time since the strike. Many of the men are ap- parently green hands, not used to dock work
 The prices of food have so far been unaffected. Hitherto plenty of meat has been available at nor nal prices, but there was a rise to- day of shillings in sack of flour. This, if maintained, will add a cent or more to the cost of a quarter of a loaf,
