Once Was down in Louisiana" a

miles. The most amazing thing to me
was that the conductors stopped the
train anywhere he was asked to, and

Nothing surprising about that" re-

Madison avenue cars stop every day

noon and a little boy dropped his

The conductor stopped the car and

What is believed to be the first geo
metrical staircase ever built Of con-
crete forms a part OF the "Caracol"
tower in a museum building that has
just been completed in Los Angeles.
The building with its tower Is in the
quaint ancient Spanish style OF archi-
lecture and is constructed entirely Of
poured concrete. The tower is 1876
feet high. In the center Is the geo.
metrical stairway, consisting OF 100
steps, circling around an open space
only "a inches in diameter and mount
ing to a height of 100 feet. Unlike
most geometrical staircases, including
the one in ST. Pauls cathedral in Lon
don, this staircase occupies only
small part of the tower, space being
left for rooms Of fairly large size on
each Of the seven floors.-Popular Me-

THE FOLLY OF Discomfort
Vain Longing and Aspirations, as
This Little Fable Shows, Are
Things of Moment.

A fashionable woman, coming from
the opera, in the rosy nest of a limou-
sine, passed a group of laborers at
midnight. Machines, like terrible ami
mails, were burrowing into the earth.
Steam was hissing, as IL from the
mouths of a million serpents. Rocks
flew in every direction. Torchlights
danced. There was the thunder of la
Dor. The night shift was in full
swing.
And the woman, glancing from the
window, at a certain workman, for an
instant thought:
"How | wish | had that brawny la
borer's strength and Joy of life! How
envy him his power, his physical
perfection, the wonder of his man.
hood, his freedom from the shackles
that bind me. He is his own master,
while l am a slave-the slave of a
man | despise!"
At that moment the laborer paused
long enough by the deep chasm where
his engine rocked, to glance into the
motor as it sped by him. And he
thought:
"Oh, to be like her! To know leis-
sure and wealth and rest! To be free
from drudgery and toll, to come and
go as / pleased! To throw off the
chains of debt and worry, and have
the days and nights stretch ahead of
me like field of flowers!"
But in another instant the motor
was gone. The torchlights flared
brighter than ever And each had
forgotten the other.-Judge.

through Brussels will be broken and retreat by

a successful retreat.
