CHICAGO AGAIN CLAIMS LEAD
This Time Il Is for the Meanest Man,
and He Surely Has Some
Qualifications!

Another "meanest man" has been
found. He was discovered In Il north
bound elevated express. He had re-
NAMED seated although n woman stood
swaying on a strap in front of him.
The train was standing at the Fuller
ton avenue station when he jumped
to his feet, apparently realizing sud
denly that his destination had been
reached. He started for the door.
When the man quit his seat It was,
logically, taken by the woman Not
for long, however, did she hold 1t. A
second later he was back-obyiously
having spotted the station name
through the open door.
"pardon me-" he said, shat wasn't
my station"
And he allowed the woman TO rise
and give him the seat.-Chicago Jour
nal.

"What would the Clouds do down

wouldn't know how to get. along.

"True, true" said Mr.. Sun.
"Our party is to be In honor ofsMiss
Rose Cloud who is having a coming

II don't quite" said Mr.. Sun, with
q puzzled look on his face.
"Well, we've heard from the Breeze
Brothers that when little girls became
young ladies they came out, or they
began going out
1--WE don't mean such as coming out
of cocoon or anything Of that Sort"
the Clouds continued.
mo, we mean that they begin going
to grown-up parties and things of
that sort.
$50 we're having a cOming-out party
for Miss Rose Cloud. 1t is true she
has been out before, but then you
know IN the sky we're not fussy about
such little things. We've lived too
long to be fussy about trifles.
"Will you come to u party, Mr..

with the greatest of pleasure"
said Mr.. Sun.
"Ah, we rejoice to have your ac-
ceptance," said the Clouds, and looked
gayer and lovelier than ever.
"Dear me, dear me, what is thisf'
exclaimed the Clouds suddenly.
Up in an airship came Billie
Brownie.
"Tve heard there was n comiDg-out
party for Miss Rose Cloud today"
he said breathlessly, land I brought
q bunch Of rare spring flowers tc
her"
The flowers were bluebells or Lung
worts. They were of great clusters
Of purplish-bluish flowers and were
just as lovely as they could be.
How very gracious of you" said
Miss Rose Cloud, who had heard the
noise from Billie Brownies airshlp.
and had appeared.
You're out ahead Of time" laughed
the Clouds, but no matter! This Is
such an exciting gift
The party was a great success and
Miss Rose Cloud said she would like
to come out repeatedly ans have

"Hello, Clouds" said Mr., Sun.
"Hello, Mr.. SUM-" said the Clouds.
"They say I'm drawing water" said
Mr.. Sun, but it's really not so. I'm

any other way.
"Ah, no, folks say that, but it's not

The Worlds Greatest Baking Powder

1t is the cryogenic laboratory of the

liquefy hellum gas, purify 1t and make

1t is so much colder than any other

Home OwR
HAVE STAKE IN COMMUNITY
HOMECOMING Citizens Feel RESPONSE
bility of Their Position and Gov
ern Themselves Accordingly.

II almost goes without saying that
home ownership is by far the most
valuable adjunct to government and
that the former Is q tremendous power
in stabilizing the latter. The nomad
constantly desires change, because
wherever he pitches his tent he con-
siders himself to be at home. On the
other hand. the responsible property
owner abhOrs nothing so much as
change, because his hearth is not n
which can be moved and which would
be the last thing he would wish to see
affected. The classic illustration.
which has been used before this by
many writer's, Is that of Alexander's
conquest of Persia this country was
a constant source Of Civil war and
rebellion until, acting upon the advice
Of n Of the philosophers attached
to his court, Alexander saw to it that
the Persians became q nation Of shop
keepers, which in turn caused them to
set up permanent dwellings and ulti-
mately to become the most peaceful
and law-abiding citizens. The ire
sponsible cowboy was inclined in the
old days to shOot-up frontier towns,
since If the n%eighborhood became too
hot for him he could simply pull up
stakes and drift" to some other part
of the country; nobody to my knowl
edge in those days eve heard of a
substantial ranchman being guilty Of
that sort Of conduct.-EXchange.

His I%ncoqnito.

A man, arriving ut an English hotel,
was asked, according TO custom, to
register his name.
The stranger took up n pen and
wrote 1.-THE King OF Spain"
The clerk was surprised. The
manager made inquiries, and, ap-
preaching the visitor, said, Excuse
me, sir, is this your writing in the

Yes, sir" replied the visitor.
But" continued the manager, you

Schools Use Buses.

There are 1900 schools In the Uni
ted States now using buses to trans
port their pupils. The day OF the lit.
tie red schoolhouse is numbered. Con.
solidated or community schools are
taking their place because Of the in
creased educational facilities and
permitted by pooling of ap,
preparations. Better buildings, better
equipment, better instruction are the
immediate result. But with consOli.
