100000 IDLE IN CHICAGO.
Problem Of Caring For Joblsss Men
Copfronts City.

Chicago. Sept. 2S--An authority in
touch with Chicago economic condi-
lions yesterday estimated that there
are 100000 men out of work In the city
or as great number as in late No
vember of last year.
This estimate while unveritied, was
said to be borne out by conditions
among the poor and calls for aid, ac-
curatey indicative Of conditions by
comparison with previous records.
The office of the South Chicago dis
trict of the United Charities reported
an increase of 53 per cent in new cases
over last year.
A striking case reported from South
Chicago is that of Harry Fox, % years
old; his 16 year old wife, and baby.
born last June. Fox is a printer and
lives in Philadelphia. He married and
came to Chicago. Last month he lost
his job. His savings soon went and he
tramped the streets for days, penniless
and hungry, making the rounds Of the
print shops.
When all avenues of hope had failed
them Fox and his wife decided to walk
to Philadelphia. wheeling the baby in
perambulator
Surely people can't refuse to feed
us on the way Fox told his wife, "es-
pecially when they see we have a
baby"
From Michigan avenue and Twenty
fourth street to Ninety-fir street in
South Chicago they trudged along,
pushing squeaky go-cart. 1t was
night when they arrived in the suburb,
with no place to sleep and no money
for lodgings. Fox sought permission to

empty freight car.
F'ox's plea touched the heart of
railroad man. He called a policeman
and the family was provided for at the
station. The next morning collection
netting IS was made at the station and
the man advised to get lodgings and
seek work in South Chicago. For
week the family lived on so cents day
until their plight was reported to Miss
Sara A. Brown, superintendent of the
South Chicago district Of the United
Charities.
Food was Immediately provided and
odd jobs of work found for the man. In
the meantime the United Charities got
into communication with the family's
relatives in Philadelphia. A brother
wrote that he would give Harry a job
and help them get started again if
ticket could be procured.
A half rate ticket was obtained by
the organization. clothing was provided
and thru the efforts of Miss Lillian
!Hindman. clerk Of the Bryn Mawr
branch of the court of do
nestle relations. money was raised to
pay for the food and extras needed by
the family, on the trip. The ticket was
paid for out Of the proceeds of a card
party given on Friday by Mrs. F. Z.
Smith. of 1891 Luella avenue, Bryn
Mawr.
Fox;s face beamed yesterday as he
signed receipt for his railway ticket.
L hope some day to be able to repay
my good friends in Chicago" said he
I'm not caring about myself-its the
wife and baby that worried me-"
Baby Fox made friends with every
body He is a lively wideawake
youngster. A hot lunch was carried out
to the family just before they took the
train by Mrs. Smith. and it included a
generous warm bottle Of milk for the
baby.

legs and with . cats leap sprang for

A blood-curdling burst Of whistles

against the soft earth Of it's bottom.
He burrowed deeper blissfully. He
was the nearest to the enemy of any
man Of the 12Sth. and he certainly
had passed through gamut Of emo
tons in the half-hour since Eugene
Aronson had leaped over white post.
"Confound it! II we'd kent on we'd

excitedly, venting his disgust on q

Three or four men burst into hys.

better for this touch Of drollery except
the captain. Yet, possibly. it may
have helped him in recovering his
poise. Sometimes even pin-prick
will have this effect.
"Silence!" he said in his old man.

He formed the nucleus Of firing
line under cover of the shoulder, and
then set the remainder of his COM
pany to work with their spades max

the 12sth, which faced the knoll, was
also digging at the base of the slope.
and another regiment in reserve was
deploying on the plain. After the fail
ure to rush the knoll the Gray COM
mander had settled down to the busi'
ness of systematic approach.
And what Of those Of Fracasse's
men who had not run but had dropped
in their tracks when the charge halt

FIRE. There was no escape. Some OF
the wounded had q mercifully quick
end. others suffered the consciousness
Of being hit again and again; the dead
were bored through with bullet holes.
In torture, the survivors prayed for
death; for all had to die except Peter
kin. the pasty-faced little Wallets son.
Peterkin was quite safe. hugging the
bottom Of the shell crater under a
Swarm Of hornets. In surprisingly
