BETTER THAN ANY POCKETS
For Absolute Safety, the Old Lady's
Plan Was Pretty Well
Perfect. a.

1t was in the Pennsylvania depot at
Jersey City. A man who had been half
asleep on one Of the benches for some
time suddenly reused up, carried his
hand to the breast pocket of his coat
and then called out:
"T have been robbed! Someone has
picked my pocket"
"Have much money!" asked an old
lady who sat near him.

"Sakes alive! but what loss. Sure

"Of course / am"
Didn't leave it under your pillar, or

"No!"
Il noticed you feeling around your
coattails before you went to sleep. Bet
ter look back there before you give
up"
He carried his hand back, and ten
seconds later held his lost wallet up
to sight He began to apologize and
stammer, but the old lady threw up
her hands and checked him with:
Young man, you orter be more
keerful, you might of accused me OF
stealth that money, and it would have
been nice thing for my church folks
to hear of, wouldn't it? When the
news got home to my old man he'd
have been so kerfustrated that he'd
have forgotten to feed the shoats or

how he'd have got along locking up

ooh, l shouldn't have accused you,

peered intently into it, with the re-

MAN MUST PAY IN THE END
Social Law Exacts Living Wage From
Communities After All-Condi-
tions in New York.

It has been estimated by social SCI
entists that $840 year is the lowest
income on which family of five can
live in decency in New York. The
wages paid by New York city to labor
ers is $3.50 year. This is $3.50 below
the mark. But is 1t $3.50 saved? 1t
is not, declares Detroit Free Press.
There is a law, natural social law,
that when society refuses to pay the
price of decency and justice, it pays
the price of indecency and injustice
and the latter is the heavier price.
Take the case of New York. The
worker who earns $3.50 less than liv-
ing wage still lives, but he takes the
difference-and more-out Of the com.
munity. When his children are sick
the public doctor attends them. Whea
the child is injured, a public hospital
cares for it at public expense. When
work is not to be had public funds buy
the family it's bread and fuel
When the moral fruits Of such a life
manifest themselves in crime, society
pays the policeman and supports the
penitentiary by which legal expiration
is made. And when the wretched
parents die, society pays for the tu-
nerals and supports the orphans. This
is not to mention the moral and physl'
cal menace to the community which
such an uncared-for family may be-
come.
Count these public charities" and it
becomes clear that the $3.50 which New
York saves on each of the laborers IS
taken out of New York city's treasury
and orderliness and health-and more,
too.
Laws of society are like any other
laws of the material universe; they are
inviolable. Society cannot break them,
but society can bruise itself against
them. And that is what society has
been doing. With this consolation
however, that every bruise society in
f1icts upon itself awakens its intelil-
gence and concern in that particular
direction.

LONGEST Beard in History.

The longest beard referred to in
European history is that which
adorned the person of John Mayo
painter to Emperor Charles V. 1t is
said of him that though he was very
tall his beard was SO long that he
could tread upon it. Naturally he was
very proud of his possession, and took
such great care of it that he usually
went about with it carefully gathered
up in festoons, the points of the hair
being looped up and tied with ribbon
to buttonhole of his coat. But some
times, by the express desire or the
emperor, Mayo would unite his beard
to it's full length, whereupon his mai
esty would command the windows to
be opened so that the beard might
have full play. THE emperor" We
are informed, took great sport In
watching the wind blow this long
beard in the faces of his courtiers.

Strange Craft on the Tieris.
Strangest of all the kinds of float
ing equipment is the kelek, seen or
the Tigris. The kelek is probably one
of the earliest forms of water trans
portation used by our ancestors in
Asia. 1t consists of goatskins inflated
with air, tied beneath framework of
light poles. Often as many as 500 such
skins are used to give the boat the
desired buoyancy
The cargo is loaded onto the kelek
just as though it were a f1at-bottomed
barge, after which the craft begins it's

to accommodate boats of considerable
