TURNING ON TIE GAS.
Example Of Bureaucracy as It Is
Practiced in France.

FfaOIlced w francs
Arnold Bennett in Metropolitan:
France is at once the paradise and
the inferno Of bureaucracy. For ex-
ample, / wanted the gas to be turned
on in my nat. A simple affair! Drop
q postcard to the company telling the
company to come and turn it on. Not
at all! / was told that 1t would be
better to call upon the company. So /
called.
what do you desire, MONSIEUR"
81 am the new tenant Of q fat, and
I want the gas turned on"
"Ah! You are the new tenant or q
fiat and you want the gas turned on.
Monsieur Chose, here is the new ten
ant of a fiat and he wants he gas
turned on. Where should he be led
tor
About a quarter of an hour OF this,
and then at last / am led by a muni-
| cipal employee sure of his job and Of
| his pension to the far distant room OF
the higher employee appointed by the
! city of Paris to deal with such as me.
This room is furnished somewhat like
that OF a solicitors managing clerk.
"Good morning, sir"
"Good morning, sir"
'Tt appears, sir-Monsieur Bennay,
fourth floor, number 4, Rue de Calais,
sixth reimbursement, is it not?-that
you want the gas turned on. Will you
put yourself to the trouble Of sitting
down, Monsieur Bennay?"
I sit down. He sits down.
"Ah! So you want the gas turned
oni Let us see, let us see. "
Hundreds Of such applications must
be made every day. But the attitude
| of this ceremonious official might be
put into word thus: "a strange and
interesting application of yours, to
have the gas turned onl Very remark
able! It attracts me. The case must
be examined with the care and the
respect which it deserves"

TO LABEL Eees.
louisville Alderman Would Know
Where They Were Laid.

Where They Were Laid.
Louisville Courier-JonrnaI: The egg
label ordinance introduced by Alder
man Overberg has an altogether
proper aim. 1t promises to compel
persons who put eggs in cold storage
to let the label tell the consumer how
old they are before they are put on
sale.
Despite pure food regulation a good
deal Of food that is below the quail
ty it is represented as having is sold
every day to who pay
enough for it to be entitled to first
class commodities. Generally speak
ing, cold storage eggs are by no
means upon an equality in quality
with fresh ones, and, often a few OF
each dozen prove unfit for use, or as
Polk Miller used to say, they are
very good for scrambling eggs, but
not frying OF boiling eggs The con
sumner is entitled to information as
to when the eggs he buys were stor.
ed. Possibly there may eventually be
d further development Of regulatory
legislation so that he may know when
they were laid. Such information
might at times be discouraging, but
Ii would be less so than the question
able egg served to a sensible con-
sumner.

Washington.-The humble but nu-

American consul at Port Antonio, ia

factor in reducing the high cost OF

Says Mr.. Dreher:
cit is encouraging in this day OF
the high cost of living to have good
reasons for believing that the banana
is destined to play no small part IN
meeting the worlds demand for q
larger and cheaper supply OF whole
some food.
Drought and hurricanes have les
sened the Jamaican crop, although the
consul believes hat increased yields

Forty-four years ago the first pro-
fessional ball club in the world was
organized. 1t was the famous Cincin-
natl Reds, the pioneer paid baseball
club, in whose existence the great ma
tional game, as it exists today, had
its inception.
In 1863 this club played through the
entire season, from March 18th till
November 18th, and never lost a game
1t finished the season with a standing
OF 1000. It's payroll for the year, in
Guiding every cent that went to the
players in salaries, was $4,000.
There was ten players on the club,
OF which one was pitcher, Asa Brain
ard, and another was a substitute.
The average salary per player was
less than thousand dollars, or, to be
exact, $3.50. The highest paid man was
George Wright. who got $1,4OO, the
shortstop. Capt. Harry Wright, pulled
down $1,000 for his share. The pitch
er. who went through the season with
clean record, got $1,1OO. Six men
drew $500.

rs Clyde Milan better base run

ton asked of George Moriarty of De-
troit, says the Boston Herald.
NO" instantly replied George.
"But Milan set a new record for
base stealing last year." persisted the
questioner.
Admitting that, but Milan is not as
good or as dangerous a man on the
base paths as Cobb" returned the
Tigers assistant manager. MILAN is
unquestlonably one of the fastest men
in the major leagues and he earned
all of the bases he stole last season,
but Milan gets on first often and has
more chances to steal second-the
popular stealing point-than Cobb.
Cobb stretches a lot of hits that to
Milan would be singles. Cobb, there
fore, is on second base and It is the
general opinion that it is harder to
steal third than 1t is second, for the
reason that the catcher has a shorter
and a better throw. The records will
show that Cobb gets many more dou.
bles than Milan, and each one Of these
