TO MODEST MAN.-What

TO MODEST MAN.-What do you
mean when you say a modest girl
loses the friendship of a modest
man? 1 don't believe you ever met
a modest, intelligent girl or you
would have been able to spend an
hour in pleasant conversation with
her. The trouble with most of you
men is that you don't know where to
go and how to find the right COM
pany. am sure by going to cabaret,
bUrlesque shows and such places you
will not find the girl you seek. If you
don't find pleasure in the company of
that kind, why not go where you will
find others-tO concerts, lectures and
educational clubs? There are plenty

WHAT IS THE REAL GOOD?-
After reading The Day Book COntin-
uOusly since it has been published
and noting the various viewpoints
taken on different topics, I should
like to be informed on the following:
What is the real good? The law
court says order. The school teach
ers says knowledge. The wise man
says truth. Pleasure insists the fool.
Love says the maiden. Freedom says
the dreamer. Home says the sage.
Fame says the soldier, etc.
Our constitution says that all men
are created free and equal Let US
see if this holds good. One man has
the chin of a politician and the hair
Of an art student. Another has not
a single hair to cover his bald spot
and three chins. One man has too
many wives and is thrown into
prison for bigamy; another who has
not even a girl to call his own is
thrown into prison for breach of
promise. One woman has half
dozen marriage licenses to decorate
her drawingroOm; another has not
even one to hang in her kitchen.
One man has a perfect appetite
and nothing to satisfy it; while his
brother has two chefs and a poor di-
gestive system. One woman has
figure like a washtub and a profile
like a rhubarb pie, and yet her hus-
band is perfectly devoted; while her
sister has the shape of a Venus and
yet finds it hard to keep a husband
loyal. One woman may speak seven
languages and be a bore; while an
other talks only chit-chat and baby

conducting same on an honorable
basis. l am making a good living,
and, moreover, I am through with
millionaire crooked employers.
If Helen Herald had had my eX-
perience she would be turning her
pen to writing sensational stories in
stead Of fairy tales. If there were
such well-paying institutions, thou
sands Of half-starved girls would
seek them. I hope Helen will come
out of her dream.-MaGorie Louise

talk and is irresistible. A a soda wa
ter clerk looks like a genius, while
burglar is often mistaken for a bank
er.
After studying the question from
many angles, it seems that courtesy,
a smile and a pleasing manner can
do more than anything else in the
world. 1t costs nothing and causes
endless streams Of money to follow in
its wake. Recently a dOOrman at
the La Sale hotel received $500 in
return for a smile from a lady who
happened by.
The modest girl certainly started
something of which she never dream
ed. By reading recent issues, com
ments and general trend of public
opinion makes me believe it would
be a good idea to promote a social
culture club where young people with
the spark of ambition can meet with
out large expense and still be assur-
ed Of not being in a palace of hell, as
our dance halls has been termed.
Cultivate sagacity, foresight and
study human nature, in a pleasing,
agreeable way. That is the proper
way to become leaders of men. If
you can handle yourself you can
handle others. knowledge cannot be
power until it is developed into an
art l will furnish the hall. Let us
see how many of our young citizens
are interested. Manly Bloomgren,

NEARLY 1000 HORSES WITH
THE SELLS-FLOTO CIRCUS

The SellsFlote circus, which will
be in Fitzgerald Tuesday, October 9,
is an institution that lovers of horses
can i'll afford to miss. This circus
always prides itself on its stock. and
this year it comes with nearly 400
horses, representing the pick Of Of
ferings ON American markets.
An idea of the care taken OF these
animals is gained when one learns
that they are quartered in specially
built horse cars equipped with every
thing to insure comfort and safety
and carrying every patented invention
necessary to their care and attention.
This display of prize horse flesh
really is horse fair because it rep
resents the grandest collection OF
horse flesh ever with circus. The
Sells-Floto circus carries with it a
staff OF veterinary surgeons. whose
sole a1lty-.is & look ,after tlls welfare
OF the animals. All these horses will
be seen in the street parade at 1886
o'clock on the morning Of show day

Judge Crum in charging the Grand
Jury went particularly into the need
for careful investigation of special
tax act, calling the attention of the
body 10 the various businesses who
under the state laws are entitled to
pay special taxes The illegal sale Of
whisky, gaming laws and especially
ia view of the near approach Of circus
aay,'the various methods employed by
camp followers Of eircuses to fleece
the ignorant, were called 70 the atten-
tion Of the jurors and their consider
alton asked faf them.
The progress Of temperance in this
and other states. said the coart, was
largely due to the activity OF the Wo-
mans Christian Temperance Union ia
the early days of the movement and
no lay has nset with greater success
in its enforcement than has the pro-
hibition law.
Reckless driving of automobiles on
tbs, highways. including the streets of
the cities and towns, was made vio-
lation of the law and should have the
careful consideration of the Grand
Jury. The legislature has made it a
misdemeanor to drive faster than so
miles an hog on the best roads and
six miles on intersections of streets
and roads in the country, as given to
the jury, particularly emphasizing the
fast that autoists must keep to the
right to be. within the law. Road hogs
who insist on keeping the middle OF
the road, either in wagons, buggies, or
cars, are also liable to indictment. as
the law. charges them with the duty
to give sufficient room to pass, if pro-
per signal is given.
The Juvenile court was especially
recommended for the consideration OF
the Jurors and its great possibilities

counts. The Mayor and Controller have.
according TO the resolution, "surren-
dered themselves and their Offices to the
wealthy enemies Of the people" They
have also, the board says, conspired
with the New York Central and have
squandered the taxes and overburdened

Progressives Ask Court to

for Hylan

Whether the Progressive party
chooses to make use of its Bull Moose
emblem or not, its officials are not
going to permit others to trade upon
its prestige Through an order issued
yesterday by Justice Whitaker in the

officers of the party in New York Coun-
ty have prevented friends of John F
Hylan from making use of the emblem
to aid the cause of the Tammany can
didate.

der which the Board of Elections is

emblem should not be lett off the Jicke'
