True Pacifls.

That incessant joker. NJ. Tristan
Bernard. was chatting about the
peace movement with some friends
the other evening. and somebody re-
marked to him that peace at any price
was quite an impossibility.
For instance" he said. "if an
apache cornered you in the street
one dark night. hurt you. and took
your watch and chain away?"
II don't think l would ever talk
to him again." said Tristan Bernard
quietly.
And a day or two back, as we were
driving up the Champs Elysees to-
gether in an open. horse-drawn cab. a
taxieab bumped into us from behind.
Tristan turned slowly around.
"My friend" he said to the chauf
feur, "if you want to get in and drive
with us, get in by all means. but
warn you beforehand that we haven't

SPENDING A FORTUNE TO TELL
OTHERS HOW TO GAIN WEALTH

This is story of how a comfortable
little fortune was spent in three weeks:
1t wasn't squandered. and in its way
that fortune put potential wealth into
the hands Of more than 155, 900 per
sons in Chicago.
To begin at the beginning: When
the third Chicago Land Show was be-
ing planned the Union and Southern
Pacinc railroad companies began to
plan also how they could attract their
share Of the hundreds Of thousands
that would visit the show, to their ter
rttory. Many things were discussed
the frst being the idea Of booths in
which to display the products grown
along the lines Of the RAILROADS.
That won't do." said Gerritt Fort
and Charles s. Fee, passenger traffic
managers of the Union and Southern
Pacific railroads. We've got to have
something different this year. Last
year We showed what our farmers
can do. This year we want to show
what all Of us can do"

was . long counter where literature
descriptive Of tho Union Southern Pa

tens of thousands also registered their
names and addresses. These will be
turned over to the communities in the
railroads territory for their benefit in
order that they may get into direct

tho expedition tho men behind the ex-

picture palaces built into the Coliseum
at Chicago and there showing stereop-
ucon and moving pictures not only Of
farm life but Of town and city life
along the Union and Southern Pacific
lines. }
Twenty thousand dollars was the
sum decided upon as necessary to
make the display. The space at tho
Coliseum that was allotted to the rail-
roads was put in the hands Of NOV
ing picture architect-a specialist In
the designing and building Of motion
picture houses-and he was told to 90
ahead and build two of the best ones
he ever planned.
The result more than repaid the plan
ners. When the theaters were turned
over to the railroads they were fully
up to expectations. The entrances to
foyer of the two was from the main
body Of the Coliseum and the two wide
doorways were brilliantly lighted with
electric signs. The foyer ran the full
length Of the Coliseum Annex and was
wide. Under foot was soft carpet,
and on the walls were scenes OF farm
and home life in the west.
