Philadelphia. Penn, is often referred to
as the unconscious city. The inspired
person who evolved the aptly descriptive
adjective is an unidentified genius, but
he certainly did the world a favor for
that one word tells the story Of Phila-

there on sunday. They call It the sao-

delphia is the acme of liveliness on sun

there is at Forest Lawn cemetery. A
traveller who is not wise to the ropes
may drop into Phil for Sunday bel ev-

Even the ret .uIants close up.
Philadelphia is owned by John Wanna

a large mercantile establishment street
cars stop in the middle of the block on
all four sides Of the store and tie con-
ductor 'yells ''Wanamaker's." TAe con-
ductor says 1t very plainly and ds-
tinctly. When yelling any stpet he
muses. and chokes the words Ike con-
ductors in all other cities. But Wanna

public can hear and understand.
The widest street in the world is in
Philadelphia. That is Broad street. The
narrowest street in the world is ais }
in Philadelphia That is Wac street.
Vine street is about the same sizs as
the alley in back of The Bee building
and whenever a three-horse truck es-
says to place Vine street on its itinerary,
the traffic is LOCKED for a couple OF
weeks
The chief United States mint is To-
Gated in Philadelphia. Tbs is Of no ad-
vantage to Philadelphia, though, as a
flock of embryo WIZARDS are constantly
on guard.
There are several historic buildings In
Philadelphia, including Independence hall
in which the we'll known and cracked
Liberty bell hangs. Citizens of Philly
always speak of 1t as "Our bell" As
far as we are concerned they can have It,
the bell won't ring and isn't good for any
thing.
Philadelphia is the home of Connie
Mack. Connie Mack is sometime called
the human sphynx. Most anybody who
would try to live in Philadelphia would
become a sphynx.
Philadelphia is now chiefly important
as the place where Grover Cleveland
Alexander pitches base ball, But Grover
Cleveland, whenever he wants to have 6
good time or enjoy himself comes home
to st. Paul, Neb., where he lives.

how many years ago-we served a short

other great man who also served term
in Philadelphia and who had sense
enough to leave. is A. r. Groh, the de-
mon news hound and knight of the type
