PUBLIC SERVICE BUNK
The Tooth Extracting and Smoke
Consuming Department in the
City Hall Makes People
Laugh.

Why doesn't the alleged city de.
partment of Public Service get after
the fraudulent weighing machines,
with which the city is infested?
Can you guess why it doesn't?
There are 1O2,G41 of these machines
scattered all over the city on city
sidewalks.
It is safe to say that 100000 of them
are out of order most of the time.
They yield an immense revenue, as
each patron is obliged to give up one
cent for the privilege of finding out
how much he does not weigh.
Another fraud on the public is the
counterfeit gum vending cent.in.the
slot machine, which in the majority OF
cases, takes the cent but yields no
gum.
Why is It that the City Department
of Public Service permits these frauds
TO exist?

Der OF Deputies regarding war damages.
Louis hlOtz, the Minister of Finance. in

continue to exercise restraint and a wise
course, declaring that he would bring in
within a fortnight a plan for a financial
organization that would enable all the de-
VaStated regions TO re-eStabIiSh them
selves, This declaration by the Minister
was cheered. The radical socialist groupof
the Chamber has decided to send a dele
cation to Premier Clemenceau to present
to hitn its views on several Of the pro

ceiye the delegation on Sunday morning.

TOiLED HARD FOR SUCCESS
Great Sculptor Knew Many Vicissi-
tudes Before His Genius Compelled
Worlds Acknowledgements.

The old, old story of genius tOlllng
against adversely and winning the
struggle is ever repeating itself-and
is ever interesting. Rodin, the great
French sculptor, climbed the ladder
laboriously, but with such persist
ence that fame could not escape him.
In "ROdin, the Man and His Art, Miss
Judith Cladel tells how the young ar
fist, in order to live, applied himself
to varied occupations.
He clipped at stone and marble, he
drew sketches for the fashionable jew
elers of Paris, and he made articles
of decorative art ordered by manufac-
turers. Despite a considerable loss or
time he obtained by that means a true
apprenticeship in art. and finally was
able to realize his first dream-tO have
an s.telier Of his own.
His atelier! 1t was q stable in the
Rue Lebrun, in the quarter Of the
GObelins, where he was born. 1t was
a cold hOvel-~ave, with well sunk in
the angle of the wall that, at every
season, eAndloU It's CllllllHS DIedli' ~
did not matter. The place was suffl-
GENTLY large and we'll lighted.
There ROdin accumulated his stud
les and works until the place became
so crowded that he could hardly turn
himself about, but. being too poor to
have them cast, he lost the greater
part of them Sometimes the soft clay
settled and fell asunder; sometimes,
becoming too dry, it cracked and crum-
bled.-YOuth's Companion.

NEVER WORE ROYAL DIADEM
Seven Queens of England Who Re-
manned UncroWned on Account of
State and Religious Reasons.

There have been seven uncrOWned
queens of England The first was
Margaret of France, the second wife
of Edward l. Money was scarce in
the government Golfers at the time,
and Edward could not afford the ex-
penSe of coronation. The four later
wives of Henry VIII, Anne Boleyn's
successors-Jane Seymour, Anne of
Gloves, Catherine Howard and Gather
inc Parr-were never publicly crowned
as queen consorts. Perhaps it was be-
cause Henry thought it would cause
ridicule to have cOrOnatiOnS occur as
frequently as his marriages. Henrietta
Maria, the wife of Charles |, being
strict Catholic, refused to take part
in a state function which would COM
pei her to partake of the sacrament ac-
cOrding to the rites of the Church of
England. Sophia Dorothea, the wife
of George |, and mother Of George III,
was never recognized as queen of Eng
land, and therefore cannot be .classed
rs one of Britain's uncrOwned queens.
Caroline of Brunswick, the wife of
George ", was not permitted to be
present in Westminster hall at his
coronation.

Skating Has Patron Saint.

Skating is the only sport that can
boast a patron saint. Her name was
Lydwina and she sponsored skating
back in the fourteenth century. Her
home town was Schiedam, in Holland.
Her family name was ancient and hon.
orable, and her father followed the
honorable profession of night watch
man. Nevertheless, Thomas KempiS,
among other notables. found her in
teresting, for he met her and wrote the
details OF her life for all to read. Lyd-
wilma was fifteen when some boisterouS
girl friends dragged her out against
her will to skate on the frozen canal.
No sooner had they started on their
holiday excursion than one of them
bumped into poor little Lydwina-and
damned a perfectly good rib. That
put her out of the running for all time,
it seems, and as she lay on her couch
of pain she was comforted by strange
visions, and before her death in 1888,
it is claimed, wrought several miracles
through her piety.
