This Indianapolis physician boasts

than eat. Even the children in the
ncighborhood know of this as is proved
by the following story:
Recently some of the neighboring boys
were playing bail in front of his Office.
Suddenly the ball went wild and crashed
through one of the physicians plate
glass windows. OF course, the doctor
was furious and he expressed his feel

a police dragnet. Here's the evidence |:
This druggist owned stock and fixtures
worth over $15, 1000, on which he car
ried only $4,000 worth of insurance. OF
course the store burned down, and as
less than $1,000 worth of goods and fix
lures were saved, the druggist lost $10,-
600 in excess of his insurance.
Nor is that all he lost. For this was
an old established store, so that, besides
the $4,000 loss, that fire swept into
oblivion the conscientious effort, pa
tient toll and self denial of many long
years.

they started right in to play tag and

famous overnight. He spent several
years in working in different business
houses, getting breadth Of experience.
He studied hard and extensively. He
learned to distinguish between principles
and practices; then he saved up little
money, opened an Office and circularized
and carefully selected list Of names.
Business was very, very slow to begin
with, but some few small concerns used
him, and because he was thoroughly
prepared he made good. He never men
toned the name of one client to an
other; neither would he discuss any
business of any client. Slowly people
began to realize that he not only knew
his business, but he was absolutely safe.
Larger concerns began to use him until
he landed where he is today. Nothing

Pity the matinee girl !!

Pity the matinee girl
Many of her Wednesday and Satur-
day afternoon creations will remain in
the closet for the present.
It's all due to the actoys' strike.
On Wednesday and Saturday after
moons during the theatrical season
Chestnut street was sight for the eye
of an artist. Every type of feminine
beauty melted into joyous, picturesque
throngs. The matinee was the attrac-
ton. ,..-.
The fair ones came from the best
residential sections, from society's cen
ter and the fashionable suburbs. They
all had their matinee heroes and hero
ines, too, whom they worshiped quietly
and got lot Of fun out of it.
The feminine army will be missed not
only by the theatres, but also by the
natty dispensers of rainbow tinted
drinks at the soda fountains. The pro
prietor of the smart candy shops will
also miss the girls until the strike is
over
