William E. Kilganon, clerk of the
juvenile court, found out Saturday aft
ernoon that some men beg because
they do not wish to work. An agile
fellow, fairly well dressed, was about
the courthouse asking for "just a
dime" He struck Kilganon.
81 won't give you any money" said
Kilganon, 'but can get you a good
job" Kilganon remembered that a
manufacturer had called him over
the phone a short time before and
told him he was in need of a good
man. He said he would pay $1.75 a
day.
Kilganon had taken the receiver
from the telephone and was about to
tell the manufacturer he had found a
man for him when the beggar asked
how much the job would pay. Gil
canon told him.
IT wouldn't work for anybody for
that" said the beggar.
"All right" replied Kilganon, "get
out of here."-Indianapolis News.

ORIGINAL TABLE FOR DEN
Closet -BookcassTable Designed
BY an Interior Decorator for
His Own uss.

An interior decorator has had exc
euted for his own use in a little.
built-in den a unique desk-closet-book-
case-table. He bought one of those
table-desks with a drawer in the mid
die and . narrow shelf at each end.
The shelves are about fifteen inches
from the floor. are supported. back
and front. by little stats and are open
at the ends of the table He had his
workmen make little closet out Of
each Of these shelves by placing a
board behind the stats at each end,
another between the drawer and the
shelf to form the closet back, and a
door with lock and key across each
end of the table. There was still un-
utilized space below the drawer and
between the closets. This, It at first
seemed, he would need for knee room
when using the table as desk. But
at last he hit upon the plan of build
ing into that space two shelves
which, by touching a button, could
be made to slide back far enough to
permit him to draw close to his desk
These shelves were filled with books,
so that when flush with the table
edge, the gay bindings were in full
view The closets may be used for
writing materials, liquors, cigars,
pipes. magazines-any of the little
khings that usually litter a den. A
cabinet maker or interior decorator
would so transform a table for no
great sum.-Vogue.

Sleep.

The doctor folk would change the IN
struction "early to bed and early to
rise" to "early to bed and late to
rise" They have been studying sleep
from the physiological, the, chemical
and biological points of view, and they
hnd that of the many sacrifices made
10 the pursuit of happiness the most
unhappy results come from the sacri-
Ace of sleep.
The Medical Record says: 1--WE are
hpt to call Tegser and Tabby lazy
animals, but no psychologist doubts
that they live more hygienically in re-
apect to sleep than do their human
masters or mistresses. 1t is declared
that In the cities "welI-to-do multi

body for normal living-a feeling of
perfect fitness associated with intense
wakefulness, muscular WEAKNESS in

German Working Girls.

Late statistics give good idea Of
how the increasingly large number Of
country girls who go to the larger
cities from villages and small towns
In Germany earn their daily bread
The largest number are employed in
cotton factories. There were about
10000 girls employed last year in
cotton mills and $4,000 in tobacco fac
tories. In laundries $500 women are
employed, Of whom large number
eventually went into service as house

ONE AMERICAN AMONG THEM
Clement Shorter Names Thomas A.
Edison as One Of Ten Greatest
Men Of Age.

Doubtless" writes Clement Short.
er. in the Strand. there are many
great men living in the world today
men with prospective greatness.
that is, or even achieved greatness
but only time can decide. In nv 1udg-
ment, there is no man in the world to-
day who is great in any walk of life
In so striking way that his contem-
poraries can unhesitatingly proclaim
him great. History has proclaimed the
elder Pitt a great man, but not so GER
tainly his son. 1t has not assigned his
epithet to Palmerston or Peel. and It
is too early yet to decide whether It
will concede 1t to Gladstone or Dis
raeli. The great man is surely he who.
by force Of genius, has impressed him
self upon his age in some permanent
form. Whether the achievements of
Mr.. Roosevelt or of Emperor William
are OF this character had better be de-
cided century hence. As YOU ask
me, however, to join in what can
scarcely be serious discussion. sug-
gest that we take the name of a living
man from each country who has, by
Invention or creation. stamped himself
upon his age. | therefore nominate the
ten greatest men of the present day
as follows:
Great Britain, Thos. Hardy; Great
Britain, Lord Lister; United States,
Thomas A. Edison; Italy. Guglielmo
Marconi; Italy, Giacomo Puccini;
France, Francois Coppee; Austria,
Richard Strauss; Germany, Hermann
Sudermann; Belgium, Maurice Mae

Oyster Bay, n. j., July 3o-The re-

day to the election of William Lorimel
to the United States Senate.
The two cases, he declared, stand on
the same moral plane. and Mr.. Tafts
nomination, in his opinion, can be de-
Tended only upon grounds which would
justify Lorimer's elections. Had the Chi
