BUSINESS.

The business idea is growing at a
very rapid rate. Cooperation is in the
air. and everywhere one turns he finds
the race getting together.
This spirit is growing like wild-frc.
Putting small means in enterprises
which give employment to our young
men and women is sufficient proof that
We are building along the right lines.
Everywhere you see the small store
operated by our people, after a while
they Will be large stores and a. we
spend our money and continue to unite

proportion we viii take on larger
forms Of citizenship, and exercise
greater interest in the commercial life
of Chicago.
This in turn means that we viii be

share in government. y progressive
commercial spirit ia any people is ,ur.
to force greater recognition from The
powers that be-.
Let the good work 20 on. We will
not have enough stores az best. W,

colorcd population aud open a variety
of stores, small AT first. but neat and
tidy. The business man who knows
how 10 be polite 10 his customers. and
who looks after their wants. and
studies how to supply them has solved
the race problem already.
Learning to operate on a small cap

periods must be tidcd over. Buying
and selling will soon become a real
art, and quick sales, many of them ON

THERE ARE 246 BONES AND 527
MUSCLES FROM TIP TO TOES
OF THE HUMAN BODY.

Do YOU know how many bones you
havel Probably not; for we have
such little curiosity about ourselves
and our composition that we generally
know very little beyond what we see,
remarks a writer in London Answers.
You possess 246 bones from the tip
to toe. They are distributed about you
as follows:
Your ears have 6 C3) each. Your
head has s. Your face has IA and
your teeth comprise 81. Your back
bone, with its base, has 20 bones and
so has the area Of your expansive
chest.
Your legs and feet have 60, your
arms and hands g..
The grand total is reached by the
addition of small movable bones.
There are more muscles in your body
than bones. They number 527.
If you are curious for further knowl-
edge regarding your bones you viii be
interested to know their composition.
They include phosphate of lime, car

Of the present, the trucst and the
nOblest?
Well, it would be 50 much like hca-
ven many old hypoerites we know
who make believe they arc saints,
would become disgruntled.
Certainly it would greatly interfere
with their dubious life and living
would prove to them a bore And the
cossiping club of every fashionable re-
ligious body would find their occupa-
ton lost. and the JOY of backbiting
their ncighbors or their neighbour
daughter would make life loathsome if
that pleasure had to be dispensed with.

Tie constructed hell. Of course you
don I need to die to go there if by
some hook or crook you have failed to
escape the gossiper.

After a search the Gamers man was
successful. "Have my picture taken?
Why, sure" said the soldier, and he
obligingly posed for several photo

"Oh. those" said the boy with an
odd little laugh, II just bought those
at a candy store"
