wish to deal candidly with you,"
Pope said. 81 have lived in a house
belonging to my wifc's father elijah
Backus), who certainly would never
have charged me rent. But if
friend should furnish the secretary
with an office for nothing, it being
Il personal favor, it is no argument
against his charging the government
4 reasonable price for occupation.'
Pope apparently used his home for
am office and asked the secretary of
the treasury to pay him office rent
Of SIP month. He asked for $3.50
for contingent expenses"
Gallatin answered him June 3, and
requested that Popc's fathcr-n-law
sign vouchers for the office rent and
added with touch of sarcasm that
his fathcr-in-law might afterward
make a present Of the money TO
yourself or any other person." He
added, however, that $40 per annum
is considered the highest sum which
ought to be allowed for rent of an
office.
Pope replied that he thought s.
was the minimum he should be al
lowed for office rent. He said he
believed the secretary should have
two rooms, zone to lodge in and the
other for the public papers Of his
office"
The compromise was finally made
at SIS month and Pope, perhaps a
little incensed at the conservative
policy Of Gallatin. Immediately be-
gan another controversy with him as
to whether the secretary had to sup
ply Governor Edwards of the Illinois
territory with stationery.

New York, July 23.--Whcn see
some of the games that New York
ers fall for, l sometimes think that
the con man who does his stuff in
the provinces is simply wasting
carafare when he gets away from
Broadway.
Commuters on the Long Island
railroad fall daily for the following
graft:
a smooth talking gent with boxes
of candy under his arm addresses the
crowded car inviting them to take a
chance on box for quarter.
Here you are. A dollar box of choc-
olates for a quarter. Try your
luck is his patter. Sixteen chances
are sold at a quarter each, after
which the winning number is re-
vcalcd from under a little seal on the
card from which the chances are
sold, and the proud winner takes
home a dollar box of candy that he
could buy in any store for so cents.
The profit to the lottery operator
is we'll over So and in one car | saw
him get rid of 20 boxes.
On the same railroad the news
vendors have sliding scale of prices
depending on how much farther the
train has to go ere it reaches the
end of the line.
A well-known brand Of chocolate
make that regularly sells, for dime
is quoted at 20 cents leaving New
York. After passing Jamaica it drops
to Is cents, and by the time the end
Of the run Us close at hand, those
still aboard may buy for nickel.
About the most complex thing in
our modern civilization is our stan
dard Of morals, or ethics, or bchav-
Tor, or whatever you call the code
that governs our public conduct.
The particular thing in mind at
present is the matter of dress and
it's modcsty and immodcsty. At the
local beaches women may appear in
one piece bathing suits But IA block
away from the beach they are sub
ject to arrest if they are not fully
clothed to below the knees.
And this morning saw a young
miss in a flnsy pink dress which
barely reached to her knees. She
wore white stockings rolled below
the knee leaving six inches 'of her
limbs, entirely exposed. Below the
roll and serving in Il decorative way
rather than in unitarian purpose
were wide yellow garters.
She walked along Broadway appar-
emily all unaware that many turned
! toward her, some to smile and some
to ,frown. l have seen many girls
somewhat similarly stoggcd out, but
none quite as extreme as she. She
seemed to be quite comfortable land
that, | believe, should be more full,
! considered than the question of mod
esty. The only thing I couldn't for
| give her were her yellow garters.

Watch Chicago's Figures on Intox-

Now watch for figures Of drunk
cnness in Chicago. The police have
been ordered to arrest on sight any
one showing signs Of intoxication.
In the old days, no ono was arrest
ed for drunkenness unless he actu-
ally INSTRUCTED the traffic, or was
obviously unsafe at large. 1t was in
Chicago that barkecpcr gave the
classic definition of drunkenness.
"You are drunk if you lie in tho

Now, if these new instructions are
carried out, the arrests for drunken

Gus than they ever were before pro
