a Fortune-For Somebody Else

asked Mr.. Jarr. You used
to ask ME- that. but since
you have become such a
favorite In social and Bohemian circles

We'll, you needn't worry yourself"
replied Mrs. Jarr calmly. My home is
good enough for me. and II you were
at home as much as I am. you wouldn't

and that was enough for me. Besides.
l don't think I ever asked you Are you
going anywhere tonight?"
Yes. you did. Yes. you do" retorted
Mr.. Jarr.
Il asked you. Are you going to that
Shoomaker's place on the Avenue?"
replied Mrs. Jarr. But that question
where you were going. And. bad as
these so-called Bohemian studios are,
they are not as bad as saloons
You'd prefer the salon to the saloon
then?" asked Mr.. Jarr.
Il would prefer neither" snapped
Mrs. Jarr. But I think you should
stay home this evening"
II will If you WILL" replied Mr.. Jarr.
Scheme To Get
A Lot of Money.
"AIl right" assented Mrs. Jarr. And
well have the same agreement every
evening. Besides. l forgot to tell you.
Omission called up on the telephone and
wanted to know IL you wanted some
money-a whole lot of money"
But he doesn't owe me a whole lot
of money" said Mr.. Jarr
"Oh, he isn't coming to pay you back
anything he owes you. but he's got a

Jarr. that it's the people who have
nothing. who never will have anything.
who have schemes to make you rich?'
We'll, don't go to scoffing before you
lind out what Mr.. Omission wants to
see you about. Those great geniuses
do have remarkable ideas"
Sure, they do assented Mr.. Jarr.
so we must possess ourselves with pa
tience till Mr.. DiEkston comes with the
great idea to make us wealthy beyond
the dreams Of ayarice."

Instead of a ball, of course. they can
stage a simple little reception. with a
waiting list only thirty or forty blocks
long. and containing. at the outside

The Warning of France.

The production of food should in
crease as rapidly as our population.
And while during the last decade our
population increased q per cent, the
acreage devoted to the production of
cereals increased only 7.3 per cent,
while the production OF cereals in
creased but II per cent. In 1850 New
York city will have a population Of
19, 10000 and the United States 800, 900.
10 per cent of whom will live in the
cities. Then a revolution! The high
cost of living, the cry for bread brought
on the French revolution. as 1t did the
American revolution. The King Of
France lost his head through illegal
taxes.
History tells us that no nation ever
lived on when the people abandoned the
country and crowded the cities. His
tory is philosophy teaching by example
Let America be warned by lessons Of
history. We are today repeating all
the mistakes OF history. Because
America is alive today we have no rea-
son for believing that America will live
forever.
To lower the cost of living our agri-
culture must grow as rapidly as COM
merce and manufacturing. In 1911 our
agricultural products were worth less
than 5000 O00. 600, while our manufac-
tured products were worth more than
$40, O0O, 900, 900 and our internal commerce
was estimated at S26, OOO, 900 600. We have
100000 square miles OF territory-l.sos,-
100000 acres of land. We have SIS, 600. 900
acres of land within our farms-i7S, Ooo,-
900 acres of improved farm land; less
than half of our total area Is improved,
while three fourths of our area is un-
inhabited and unproductive.

Feared He Was
Some Impersonator.
For a moment Mrs. Jarr feared Mr..
Omission would open the bag, take out
false mustache and spectacle frame
and false teeth fixtures and give them
a correct and lifelike representation of
The Noted Statesman About to Become
the Father of His Country.
But, noting dinner was ready. Mr..
Omission chucked the little black bag
into a corner and announced that bust
ness would be discussed after the gem
erous repast about to be set forth.
After dinner was over the Jars as
sembled In the front room to hear Mr..
Omission PROFOUND his get-rich-quicE
theory.
My proposition has the charm OF
great simplicity" began Mr.. Dinkston,
taking the little black bag on his knee.

simplicity, the nude, II I may so speak.
endures in art. 1t is because art is
eternal, but fashion is ephemeral"
Seeing his listeners looking puzzled,
Mr.. Omission smiled indulgently
Il will elucidate," continued Mr..
Omission. Take the family album.
Look at the portraits. What makes
them seem outlandish and grotesque?
Not the kindly, wholesome face of
Uncle Joe. who wears pautaloons of
the vintage Of 1872; not the comely fea-
lures OF Couisn Arabella, taken when
bustles and dolmans were all the vogue
in 1882; not the classic profile of Grand
father Dodgastit, taken shortly after
the war, when hoopskirts encircled the
female form divine.
What To Do With
Crayon Portraits.
DO not interrupt he added. as he
saw Mr.. Jarr was about to speak.
Listen! We can hide away that minia-
ture chamber of horrors. the family
portrait album, but what can We do
with our family crayon portraits?"
Here Mr.. Dinkston looked up at the
framed enlargement OF the iron visage
of Uncle Henry and the adamant coun-
tenance Of Mrs. Jars mother hanging
beside II.
Whats your scheme?' asked Mr..
Jarr. Are you going into the crayon
portrait business"
