LOOKS TO PUBLIC WELFARE
Kansas City Institution Might Well
Be Copied by Other Big Centers
Of Population.

The board Of public welfare Is an
institution In which Kansas City has
set ar example for the whole country.
Delegations from other places repeat
edly have visited the city to study the
workings Of the board with the idea
OF applying It's principles at home.
The latest city to take the matter
up Is Chicago. Recently Mr.. Jacob
Billikopf Of the Kansas City board
was invited to explain It's operation
to the Chicago Association OF Com
MERGE. Following his address an
ordinance has been introduced In the
Chicago council by Prof. G.. f. Mer-
RAM. an alderman, to establish a de-
partment Of public welfare with two
bureaus.
One is the bureau OF employment,
which is to operate municipal lodging
houses and gather information on gen.
eral working conditions, as well as to
help persons find work. The second Is
the bureau of social surveys, to col
lect information on living conditions
in Chicago and to recommend ordi-
nances for their betterment.
The judiciary committee Of the
council has unanimously recommend
ed the ordinance for passage. Cities
generally are beginning to assume
larger responsibilities for better cor.
diuons of living.

n leash on a dog-cOllar.

but I'm living in it at present"
The edge of a smile lifted the care
fully trained mustache over the
others white teeth. 1t had the per
fectly courteous air of saying, "Of
course, il you say SO. But"
Valiant turned, with a gesture that
included all. IF you care to dismount
and rest" he said, Il shall be honored,
though I'm afraid | can't offer you
such hospitality as | should wish"
The Judge raised his broad soft hat

He waved his hat at the porch and
turned his horse down the path. side
by side with the golden chestnut.
After them trooped the others, horses
walking YEARLY, riders talking In low
voices, the girls turning often to send
swift bird-like glances behind them
to where the straight masculine figure
still stood with the yellow sunshine on
his face. They did not leap the wall
this time, but filed decorously through
the swinging gate to the Red Road.
Then, as they passed from view be-
hind the hedges, John Valiant heard
the younger voices break out together
Like the sound Of a bomb thrown into
a poultry-yard.
John Valiant stood watching till the
last rider was out of sight. There
was a warm flush Of color in his face.
At length he turned with a ghost

A scheme for a more ~pretentious

proved popular. Beneath the latter Is

How do you feel this morning, Ma
jor."
"Feel?" rumbled the major; the
way any gentleman ought t feel this
time OF the morning, sab. Like hell,

The doctor bent his gaze on the
hilarious blossom in the others lapel.
II | were you, Bristow," he said
scathingly. II reckon Id quit galivant-

fumery on my handkerchief every
evening. It's the devil of an example
TO the young"
The rocking chairs behind the
screening vines became ~motionless,
and the ladies exchanged surreptitious
smiles. II the two gentlemen were
aware of each others sterling quail
ties, their mutual appreciation was In
inverse ratio to its expression, and,
as the Elucinian mysteries, cloaked
before the world. In public the doctor
was wont to remark that the major
talked like a Caesar, looked like q
pianO-tuner and was the only man he
had ever seen who could strut sit
ting down. Never were his gibes so
barbed as when launched against the
majors white-waistcoated and patri-
elan calm, and conversely, never did
the majors bland suavity so nearly
approach an u%ndigniied irritation as
when receiving the envenomed darts
OF that accomplished cynic.
The major settled his black tie. "A
little wholesome exercise wouldn't be
a bad thing for you. Doctor" he said
s~uccinctly. You're looking a shade
pasty today
Exercise" snapped the other
viciously, as he pounded down the
steps. "Ha, ha! | suppose you exer-
cise-lazying out to the Dandridges

of the time wearing out good cane-bot-
toms and palm-leaf fans and cussing
at the heat. You'll go off with apo
plexy one of these days"
Il shall If they're scared enough to
call you" the major shot after him,
nettled. But the doctor did not pause.
He went on down the street without
turning his head.
The major lifted his hat CALAMITY
to the ladies, whose presence he had
just observed.
DO sit down. Major" said Mrs. Gift
ford. There's a question I'm just
dying to ask you. We've had such an
interesting conversation. You've
heard the news, Of course, that young
Mr.. Valiant is coming 70 Damory
Court"
The major sat down heavily. In the
bright light his face seemed suddenly
pale and old.
MOI the lady's tone was arch.
Have all the rest of us really got
ahead of you for once? Yes, it's true.
There's some one there getting it to
rights. Now here's the question.
There was a woman, Of course. at the
bottom of the Valiant duel. I'd never
dream Of asking you who she was.
But which was 1t she loved, Valiant
or S~assoon?"

On the afternoon OF October IA.
1868, George Washington stepped into
the private office Of his good Philadel-
phia friend and dentist, Silicum Stra-
dies. Twas an elegant fall afternoon
and Chestnut street was alive with
colonial damsels out in their new furs.
"Good-day, friend George" quoth
the dentist, as he finished polishing a
long. wicked'looking spear and picked
up a cleaning crowbar.
What brings you downtown thus

down the crowbar and picked up an
