idly on the increase, evidences itself
in many ways, but the most pitiful to
me is the habit the ''high-brow'' has
of referring to whatever part of hu-
manity has less than he as the riff
raft"
Only the other day came across a
statement by 'high-brow that since
the through routing of State street
cars the ''riff-raff" from the South
Side made the condition of the car
intolerable by the time it reached the
exclusive North Side residences.
What is ''riffraff''? The dictionary
defines it as the "sweepings, the re-
fuse, the lowest order of society"
1t is because that is its only proper
definition that the name has an asso-
citation that makes it an expression
to be used wisely and rarely. For if
we applied it only in its true sense, it
would refer merely to that class of
people whose lives are spent in crimes
and in foul atmospheres.
In this case, however, and in most
cases when it is used by the "high-
brow" it is applied indiscriminately
to those people who possess few
worldly goods, regardless of the fact
that they are the victims of circum-
stance, and are often called ''riff-raff''
by the very ''high-brow' who is in a
measure responsible for the fact that
others have so little. ....... o..
Every one of us came into this
world naked. Not one baby is born
clad in silks or in rags, therefore we
are of equality at the hour of our
birth. Every one of us came into the
world unable to help ourselves and
doomed to die if Others do not help
us, and therefore we are of equality.
All of our brains were like wax up
on which no impression had as yet
been made and it remains the task of
others to say whether we shall be
stupid or clever; whether we shall be
timid Or AGGRESSIVE. whether we shall

In the case of the parents to whom
we are born, circumstance dictates

Of the worlds treasures that we shall
exist on bed of roses, or whether
they possess so little that only the
thorns are left to us.
And there is no credit or blame due
to us in either event
If our entrance into the world is
among those who have acquired
more than a just share of this treas
ure, we are very prone, when we are
old enough to arrive at false conclu-
sions, to place ourselves upon pedes-
tails and despise those who are not so
wealthy or so idle as we, and snob-
berry has its conception.
Again, we may through our early
years know privation, and then, by
some twist of fate, we may acquire
more than our share of the worlds

frugality, and thus again. snobbery

No one has yet discovered what
force makes it possible for one man
to have much and another to have
little. Asses have brayed that it is the
difference between ability and its
lack; wise men have declared it is
the difference between honesty and
dishonesty. Yet our senses tell us that
neither of these theories will stand
the test, for the pauper of today may
be the king tomorrow and neither
through ability nor through dishon-
esty, but through some peculiar twist
of life; and the king of today may be
a pauper tomorrow and never again
feel the weight of a crown.

mystery that has not been solved, the

TELL OF RUIN IN BELGIUM
Visitors to Liege Describe the Scenes
Of Devastation There and
In Wise.

London-A dispatch to the Reuter-
Telegram company from Ostend says
that a small party which has returned
there from visit to Liege describes
the destruction wrought by the war as
appalling.
"All along the road to Vise," one Of
the party said, there was nothing to
be seen but walls blackened by smoke,
the remains of burned factories,
mounds of earth freshly dug-the
sepulchers of the first Germans to fall.
"And then comes Wise. What pain

"At last we entered Liege. The in.

Their doors and windows were
shattered and their contents had been

How Ruroomeister Max Escaped.


London.-How Burgomeister Max
of Brussels evaded arrest by becoming
an American official is described by
William Gore, correspondent Of the
Daily Sketch, in dispatch from
Brussels The dispatch states:
''The burgomeister is one too many
for the Germans. One morning he
was in the meat market, when a Ger
man Official arrived and said:
"I want all this meat.
"M May replied:
'One-quarter of it for you and the
rest for lay people,.
'sThe German, furious, arrested the
burgomeister, who asked for half
hour in which to put his affairs In or
der. He then went to the American
consulate, where he said:
"T have been arrested.
1.-THE consul replied: You are my
secretary.
ssThus the burgomeister was enabled
to give the laugh to the Germans.

GERMANS SACRIFICE MANY
LIVES PLACING BIG GUNS

London. Sept 25.--It is reported that
a new battle is developing on the al
lies left but official confirmation is
lacking.
According TO these reports the heav-
lest siege artillery is being transport
ed by the Germans from Metz, and
they are sacrificing thousands of lives
in an endeavor to place these monsters
in position.
The plain to the east Of Verdun is
said to be strewn with 10000 dead and
$4,000 wounded as the result of repeat
ed German advances.
According to official statements there
has been a lull through the center of
the battle line portions of this dis
patch are deleted by the British CEN
sOr).
The mortality among British OFF,
GERS. IL continued in the present ratio,
will be one OF Great Britain's most
serious problems.
