A Frenchman, who was challenged by
a Bulgarian to duel, declared he would
not soil his hands by contact with such
a fellow as the Bulgarian, whereupon
another Frenchman, less fastidious than
his ellow-countryman, stepped forward
and jabbed the Bulgarian twice with the
sword, so that the Bulgarian threw up
the sponge ito use an Americanism)
All of which proves that the "honor"
back of many of these duels is a minus
quantity and that it pays to have
friends with good fighting arms, espe-
cially if one declines to dabble in dirt.

BY IDAH McGLONE GIBSON.
There are girl hoboes and
women hoboes i'm Tacoma. Just
yet society does not call the out
of-work girl a hobo like it does
the jobless man." says Mrs. Cora
d.. Harvey, the only recognized
woman hobo in the world, and
who is secretary of the Interna-
tional Hobo union.
"What is hObO?"
"a hobo" answered Mrs. Har-
vey, ''is any person, man, woman,
girl or boy, who is out of work,
out of money, and nearly out of
hope. A hobo girl is any girl job
less, homeless, moneyless, hope
less. just as the man hobo wan
ders around hunting for work, SO
does the girl hobo.
There is only this difference,
the man hobo can count ties
along the railroad, ride in freight
cars, and get to the place where
work is. The out-of-work girl
cannot do that.
But one fate is hers-death,
death by starvation or suicide.
mo! forgot! There's
another and worse fate for
the poor, dOwn-and-out girl
hobo-that is sin, shame and
then a more awful death.
There's always that monster
of vice waiting for the out-of-
work gfrl-waiting until she gets
down to her last penny and her
hunger cries the loudest for food.
There are flop houses for
men hoboes; soup kitchens and
coffee lines. But no girl out OF
work has anything to fall back
on=-except her own SELF
You don't look like the ac-
cepted idea of a hobo, anyway
said l. Your clothes are not
ragged and you don't seem to have
any tomato cans hanging about
you.
No Mrs. Harvey answered.
'sBut I've been out of work and
out of money and have gone into
cities penniIess and walked miles
in search of work-just like men
hoboes. =

narrowed and she asked abruptly:

''The jobIess girl is in a

every day. The doctors, when
they sign the death certifi-
cate, may call ii some other

vation."
Mrs. Harvey is a woman with a
face which depicts character. She
talks very we'll and shows her
mentality in the way she handles
the subject of help for the jobless
man or woman which she thinks
can never be much use until we
change our economic conditions.

MRS. ASTOR. TINE BEST
DRESSED WOMAN, GIVES
GOWNS TO HER SERVANTS

NEW YORK, June 5. - Mrs.
John Astor, the most expensively
and tastefully gowned woman in
the world, today began n distri.
button of number of costly
gowns to her favorite servants.
Some of the dresses given away
by the multi-millionaire widow
had only been worn once or twice,
and would be models of correct
ness for many a leading society
matron in a city smaller than New
York.
Mrs. Astor's costumes when she
returned to New YORK last fall
were the sensation of the social
would. Several of these foreign
creations are among those which
were today given to the servants
of the Astor household. Mrs AS
tor has requested that The dresses
be made over in many particulars.
and the women of her servant re-
tinue were only too glad TO accede
to the request in order to avail
themselves of the extravagant ma.
terials.
To Mrs. Astor goes the honor
for being the most magnificently,
che most extensively, but, withal,
the most tastefully c0stuned
woman i'm the world. All of her
clothes are costly; few women,
comparatively speaking, in the
United States, could afford them,
and yet they have quality which
every American woman could at
tain. Sometimes her stock OF
gowns runs up as high as three
hundred in number.

he came back to Pages mill and
typhoid fever and pointing a long,
searching finger at Nick Lawson
he advanced to the table and
howled:
"If an epidemic breaks out i'm
this city you are to blame for it,"
Nick sputtered a nonchanlant
denial.
The mayor now was aroused.
He paced the floor. His thin lips
grew thinner and tighter and he
Spouted indignation like a geyser.
He said the concrete vaults and
other precautions ordered by the
health department had not been
put in on Green river. That the
work under Lawson had dragged
along and comparatively nothing
was done to clean the watershed.
It's a darn shame" shouted
the mayor. IF you won's follow
the advice of the health depart
ment why fire the health officer
and get one you will follow.
Name a doctor you want and | will
follow. But what in the Ievil is
the use of paying a health de-
partment and then paying no at

When the mayor swears every

His face got red to the end os
his forehead at the back of his
neck and he began to gush like
the new motor fire pump.
'Flim-flamming the people!

Mills was sputtering all the
time and the mayor seeking {,

Mills pacified in a measure he
himself had again reached the
boiling point.

mayor.
Lawson had been trying to
break in for some time.
He was on his feet now.

written for the United Press.
On the morning of November
1906, with Tom L. Johnson at the
controller, the first three-cent cal
line in Cleveland began operation
on Denison avenue. From that
day until March /, 1910, as fran.
chise rights expired on one streel
, after another, new lines were
gradually placed on a three-ceni
basis. On the first of March
l910, the street railroad settl q
ment, known as the Taylor grant
went into effect, and an initial
fare of three cents, with Il penny
charge for transfer, was Install
ed on all city lines.
Later the penny charge was
dropped. -
The street car situation in
Cleveland may, therefore, be cpl
tomized as follows:
Three-cent fare, with free
transfers, unrivalled day SER
vice and excellent rush-hOur
service, i'm well-ventitated,
well-heated and well-lighted
cars, running on as good
roadbed as can be found i'm
any city in the country, with
few or no exceptions, and op-
Grated by the highest-paid,
best-treated trainmen in the
United States, is an actual,
persistent and permanent
reality on exhibition "a hours
day i'm the Sixth City i'm
America, with a population,
including its envirOns, of
three-quarters of million
inhabitants.
The three fundamental princi
pies upon which a settlement WIS
effected between the city and the
company, whereby both parties
are the mutual beneficiaries; the
best railroad transportation at
cost; the largest powers of regu-
lation in the interest of public
service, and a fair, fixed and GER
tain rate of return on the invest
ment.
The car-rider's gains under this
arrangement have already been
indicated-excellent service at 8
cents. From the standpoint of
the stock and bond-holder the
situation has been equally happy
ONT dividend has been passed,
not an interest payment suspend
ed. In fact, an indispensable ele-
ment of the ordinance is that
stock shall regularly yield pc.
= cent and bonds the stipulated in
terest rate of s per cent.
In conclusion, what Is the Sc
cret of Cleveland's pronounced
success with cent fare? The
answer lies at the surface, and
is the same as may be given fol-
the success of any other sound
and enterprising business.
First, the reduction from 5
cent to 8 cent fare has resulted
in 20 per cent stimulation in
the number of street car riders
Secondly, and this accounts foI
the rest of the explanation, the
water in the Cleveland traction
/ valuation has been squeezed ont
Ito a greater degree probably thar
in the case of any other public
utility in America.
