Formerly, when wheat was 80 cent.
to 81 per bushel, bread was selling al
5 cents per pound loaf. Now wheat
is less than 80 cents bushel and
bread is selling at 10 and Is cents
per loaf. It's just a fair illustration
of how the producer is being film
flammed all along the line--and the
national government heads tell him
it's all his fault. Perhaps it is his
fault in a measure. He helped elect
this administration, which by the en-.
actment of the highest tariff law on
record, has enabled the big manufac-
turers to continue charging and get
ting war prices FOR their goods. And
now these farmers are being told that
the tariff is good for them. Surely
they have been shown plenty that il
will "bleed them white" if continued.

with headaches trying to keep track of their friends
and relations because of the demon divorce For instance
society reporter wishes to the illness Of lady Mrs
Harry Cooke Gushing 3rd She formerly Miss Kathleen
Vanderbilt, but that doesn't tell you the story
The reporter has to add "Her mother is Mrs sidnev

is Of Horace Cushing jr of Boston, and his mother
is Mrs. j. Henry Lienau'

party You can't mention any mamie except with the
foundes respec-which is not always easyfor may be
the of the mother father somebody with an
tirely different whom you addressing.
1t has been suggested rather wisely that those divorced
should keep and all the they had for public
guidance Thus if Miss Smith marres Mr. Jones, divorces
him and takes Mr. Robertson, she would have her
visiting card Mrs Smith Jones Robertson
Perhaps simpler plan would be for the married
lady to keep her maiden name peristenty calling herself
Miss Smith through all Of her marriages That the custom
parts Of Greenwich Village, and simple custom. To
out such Miss Smith would only be necessary
to ask TO whom you married now?"
At best, however, it's confusing.

ARAB GIRLS
DANCE FOR
TOURISTS

" HIRTY years ago the Mid
way of the Chicago Worlds
- Fair gave the Arab dancer
reputation which has been very
profitable to her ever since. Even
today a visit to one of the dancing
houses of Algiers is considered
daring thing by American tourists.
Few fail to take the risk. On the
big tourist steamers which touch
at the French Arab city each
winter with hundreds of folks
from the American States there
is always a steward who is an
agent of the Algerian dancing
houses. He whispers about until
he has arranged a number of
large parties under pledge Of
secrecy.
There are usually as many
women as men in the party
which leaves the ship unostenta-
tiously and is carried ashore by
itinerant steam launches. They
pile into waiting taxis and ira
verse the European quarter Of
the city, a section exactly like
any French provincial town.
When the Arab quarter is reached
S1AO 00COS 64O AG4b OO444LANp LII LIlS
streets are too narrow to permit
Of their entrance.
Down nnusty lanes, past dark
archways in which lurk Arabs in
long boards and dirty white bur-
nooses who screech fer aims. and
occasionally pick a tourists pock-
ct, the visitors are led in single
file until they reach the entrance
lighted by a torch. Here Is a
guardian who demands a fee,
usually a dollar, and the palpi.
tating visitors pass within.
They find themselves in a room
where half a dozen girls squat on
their launches, and two unpleas-
ant Arabs make hideoua music
with pipe and drum. The first
girl commences to dance. She
is honely, poclunarked and wrap
ped In many garments. Her
skirts are heavy with beads, and
her legs wrapped in trouserettes.
She dances dispassionately, re-
volving and undulating. In a few
minutes she finishes and another
follows in exactly the same dance.
It is one of the most modest
and innocuous dances possible.
Dancing in America has pro-
gressed in the past quarter Of a
century, but in Algiers 1t has
stood still.

whymper battled for years with
storms, with ice, with precipices,
with accidents that might have
cowed the boldest heart, and with
eager rivals who schemed and
plotted to beat him. He made
eight unsuccessful attempts upon
the mountain, and when, at the
ninth attempt, he succeeded, of the
seven men constituting his party
only three escaped alive.

the center of the circle. Thus
Whymper enters the majestic am
phitheater OF the mountains amidst
which stands, In an attitude Of
defiance, le Cervin-stands as the
black chief. Here, as in the ring
at Seville, 1t is not the bull that
seeks battle; the man attacks, the
bull defends; he dies or he kills.
And in this duel le Cervin has all
the physical advantage of It's i'm

Nature herself makes the wise

The recollection of past labors

Good Is to be sought for its
own sake.
OF all kinds of animals there is
none except man that has knowl-

The first thing we receive from

The beginnings of all great

Justice is seen in giving every

Habit produces a kind of Sec

The htigous spirit is more

Law is the highest expression
Of the system OF nature, which
ordains what is right and forb1ds
what Is wrong.
Let not man love himself more
