By William F. Kirk in the Chcago-American
The first chair was tiny-a high chair
A baby was tied in the seat;
A fat, hungry child, he crowed and he smiled
While waiting for something to eat.
A mother kept watch DER this diner
For fear he might make the chair fall.
And we done with Chair Number One,
The first little chair of them all
The second chair, thirty years later,
Held boy who handsome and strong;
In gilded cafe, with roysterers gay,
He let the swift hours slip along.
A waiter kept watch DER this diner
For fear he might make the chair fall.
And now through with Chair Number Two,
The merriest chair of them all.
The third chair was back of a Darroom
In all dingy and dark;
A man worn and thin had pleaded for GIN
Because it cold in the park.
No soul kept watch DER this outcast-
They knew he had met with his fall.
He was sleeping, you see, in Chair Number Three,
The last little chair of them all.

Few Vacant Store Rooms
in Rockford

1t is about time for the liquor interests to come
out with stories supplemented by alleged bona 6de
photographs Of the large number of vacant store
rooms in Rockford made vacant since the saloons
ousted. This is their usual stunt when city of
any considerable size drives out the saloons. Such
city soon becomes deserted village according their
press agents The fact is the rooms left vacant
by the saloon men usually find good tenants engaged
in legitimate business if the rooms are desirable
streets and are for rent sale. Many times de-
srabe store stands unoccupied by order of the
brewer or disler, who either controls it, in
the hope that it will influence voter to change
his attitude and recognize the open barroom
business builder. But Rockford is not suffering bust
ness stagnation result of abolishing the saloons
The Daily Republic of that city recently published
the following editorial under the caption,
FILLING THE STORES:
Gradually the stores left vacant when the saloons
were voted out are filling up. Every few days the an
nouncement is made that another of these buildings
is to be put to in line of business
It is not to be expected that all of them would
find tenants at once. There were too many of them

called his floating hotels, the cd full
rugged ship Jacob A. Stemler the
schooner yacht Gitana, and of his
farm at New Paltz for old men and
women and children. A bracing sea
voyage after an attack of typhoid
gave him the idea for his floating
hotels. He fitted the two vessels up
with well lighted and well ventilated
living apar -ments, the Stamler for
the women and the Gitana for the
men. 1t cost women $3.50 a week and
men $3.50 to live at these hotels and
they were always crowded. On Sun
days the hotels went to sea and the
guests were given a restful day on
/ the coast or course the money MS
guests paid didn't approximate the
cost of keeping the boats in com
mission, but is was Mr.. Arbuckle's
idea to have them paying something
so that they might get in return self
respect plus the comfort. He was al
ways a welcome visitor at the floating
hotels and on one of these visits while
he was playing the piano and uncover
ing other unsupported accomplish
ments in the entertaining line aftel
dinner one of the girls was overheard
to say:
"Ain't he nice to us girls. Why, he

appellation eight years ago when he
refused to retain his seat in tne nation

tainted with fraud, of course without
his knowledge. He had been elected
to four congresses. In 1905 he was

silver Republican, and his sympathies
are progressive.
Governor John A. Dix of New York

JOHN ARBUCKLE

Mr.. Arbuckle took a broad view of
religion He never drew lines of creed
in his benefactions and he wouldn't
permit preaching on board his floating
hotels.
only one man could preach at a
time" he uced to say, "and he could
preach but the doctrines OF one de-
nomination. We have all denomina-
'tions here, Jew, Gentle, Catholic and
Protestant and even followers of Mo
manned and believers in Buddah.
won't have religious strife stirred
up here. II there are those who want
to go to church they are free to so to
the one of their choice. The people
on the boats have lots Of religion, the
best kind of religion. They believe
in helping one another and helping
themselves"
Up at Lake Mohonk, where Mr.. Ar
buckle had a summer home, a woman
of the summer colony once said to
him:
"Why, Mr. Arbuckle. how can you
stand those people on your boats?"
Madam" he replied, those people
are the best people in the world, There
isn't one snob in the whole lot OF
them"
J 1t was in his charities that Mr.. Ar
buckle found his relaxation when busi-
ness cares wearied him, and he was
often TO be found at his floating
4 hotels. He also conducted hotel in
Kansas City and he found further re-
creation in horse ranch in Wyoming,
He was lover of fine horses.
