i Phone 95 Main Avenue m RUINS OF A LODGING HOUSE IN FOURTH STREET I MRfPTOl 1 Those of you who are so fortunate as to be wearing the Kryptok Invisible Bifocal Lenses are the only ones who heap blessings instead of reproaches upon the head of poor Salvine for the unpardonable sin he committed for these lenses really give the eyes the rest and relief that is sought but very frequently not found in other glasses They are all the name im plies two sights within one lens with no visible joining The reading lens is encased within the distance lens which explains the absence of the dividing line such an annoying feature in the old style bifocals Upon being told of these wonder fully constructed lenses many persons naturally doubt the truth of the state ment and when they learn that they can also be made in the rimless style for both spectacles and eye glasses they are even more surprised Not until they have actually seen the Krytoks will they believe that this wonderful lens has been achieved That these lenses are giving perfect satisfaction is proven by the steady increase in the demand for them and by the number of letters the manufac turers are receiving daily all express ing appreciation of the superior mer its possessed by the modern bifocals Columbian Bifocal Company Tem ple Court Denver Colo exclusive manufacturers to be customer of the New Brick Meat Market They keep

most surround the menhaden and they attack them flank and rear The men haden fairly make the water boil in their efforts to escape while all around the enemy is at them tearing relent lessly Into all this commotion comes a great shark Its a picnic for the shark a school of menhaden all herded up for Its benefit It swims leisurely into the midst of them opens its mouth and takes in half a dozen menhaden at a gulp It swims around and bites out half a dozen more from the school It gorges itself without effort But the menhaden are not nearly as much dis turbed by the presence of the monster swimming about among them as they are by the charging bluefish The shark takes half a dozen fish or more at a bite while the bluefish only bites a piece out of a single fish but there is only one shark while there may be thousands of bluefish plunging and tearing incessantly and killing and maiming at every stroke The sharks a brute but under such circumstances the menhaden have less of fear than they have of contempt for him A Photographic Warning The following story of a 3oung lady living in the country who came to London to be photographed is told by M A P and vouched for by a well known Loudon photographer After some days the lady Miss B was informed the photograph was not a success and another sitting was sug gested This she agreed to but again was informed that the photograph was a failure There was a third sitting In two days time she received an urgent letter from the photographer asking her to come up to his studio and to bring a friend with her Miss B went accompanied by her mother and was shown the amazing results of the three sittings The pictures of the girl herself were quite good but in each plate there was to be seen stand ing behind her the figure of a man holding a dagger in his uplifted hand The features though faint were clear ly discernible and Miss B recognized them as those of her fiancee an officer in the Indian army The effect of this experience was so great that after a few days she wrote out to India break ing off the engagement Louis Napoleon Answered Lady Blessiugton did not always meet with gratitude from some whose position at last enabled them to serve her She sheltered in her Loudon home Louis Napoleon after he had escaped from his prison in Ham After Louis Napoleon became president of the French republic he seems to have turned the cold shoulder on Lady Blesslngton and Count DOrsay when they approached him in Paris There was a story going at the time for the accuracy of which we certainly will not vouch but which appeared in sev eral of the London papers Shortly be fore Lady Blesslngtons death she met so the story goes the president driving in the Champs Elysees He stopped his carriage she stopped hers and they conversed for a few minutes His manner seemed to her determinedly fhilly Do you stay long in Paris i j red as he was about to drive on No she answered And you London Spectator George Eliot ana Romoln George Eliots first arrangement with the publisher of Itomola was for no less a sum than 10000 guineas As that is bo very large a figure he said I must run It through fifteen numbers of the Cornhill No she answered it must finish In twelve numbers or the artistic effect of the story will be lost I quite understand the necessity for Its prolongation from a commercial point of view so well say 7000 guineas Instead of the 10000 And 7000 guineas was accordingly paid for the copyright Three thousand guineas seem a large sum to give up for an artistic scruple but she did It Differences of Opinion Women are hard to understand Bald the callpw philosopher Not at all answered Mr Meekten Henrietta has never yet spoken her mind to me without making herself perfectly elear Washington Star Sinclair And the Beef Trust Y HE Beveridge bill has leaped into prominence with a sud denness almost startling and so completely has it absorbed public attention for the time being that the rate bill for weeks In the very forefront at Washington seems to have been forgotten The rate bill represents a movement to control rail road freight rates In the interest of shippers and the general public The Beveridge meat inspection bill repre sents an effort to safeguard the public health in respect to one of the greatest industries of the country that of the slaughter of animals for food and the dressing and packing of the meat for shipment far and wide over the coun try and over the inhabited parts of the whole globe Incidentally the bill rep resents also a movement to throw proper restraints about the methods pursued In the operation of the in dustry and to Improve the conditions under which the work is carried on The honor of introducing the meat in spection bill In the senate fell to the senior senator from Indiana Albert J Beveridge who Is one of the senate leaders and an orator known for both the force of his rhetoric aud the sharp ness of his wit Senator Beveridge is an author also and his book about the Russian empire which appeared about the time that war between Japan and Russia broke out has been widely read Mr Beveridge is one of the younger set among the Washington statesmen as he will not be forty four years of age until autumn and though he ban enjoyed a university education he has seen life from the point of view of what President Roosevelt calls the man with the patch on his breeches for he was plowboy and railroad la borer logger and teamster in early days The meat inspection bill was passed in the senate with remarkable celerity as a rider of the agricultural bill and it has been said that the bill was hastily slung together tagged with Mr Beverldges name and put through when Mr Roosevelt had the Neill Reynolds meat trust report in his hands to use as a club to compel such legislation if necessary On the con trary however the statement is made that Mr Beveridge was at work upon the bill for two months prior to its in- X i V I UPTON SDfCLAIB troduction and was one of the first per sons to call the presidents attention to the alleged abuses In connection with the meat packing industry The most important factor of all in bringing the movement for regulation of the meat trusts operations to its present status was the novel by Upton Sinclair entitled The Jungle Like Uncle Toms Cabin which did so much to bring about the downfall of slavery in this country and like Down With Arms which led to the calling of The Hague peace conference The Jungle was written with the view of bringing about a great reform Its au thor was moved to indignation by the conditions he witnessed in an investiga tion of the Packingtowu district of Chi cago and under the guise of fiction he described a state of affairs in the pack ing industry said by some to be even worse than Sinclair painted It Presi dent Roosevelt was so moved on read ing the book that he determined his In fluence should be used to rectify the alleged abuses if they existed as de scribed To ascertain this he had sev eral Investigations made the most im portant of which was that conducted by Charles P Neill United States la bor commissioner and James Bronson Reynolds the settlement worker Their report Is said to have substantiated in the main the representations made in Mr Sinclairs book The Jungle is dedicated To the Workingmen of America Its hero passes through some terrible experi ences as one of the throng of workers in Packiugtown The indictment of the evils of the industry was so strong that Doubleday Page Co before they agreed to the publication of Mr Sinclairs manuscript sent a lawyer to Chicago to Investigate the situation de scribed His report substantiated the authors picture and the story was then given to the world A Witty Divine Dr James Yorke Bramston a well known London divine was a good deal of a wit To a woman who was pester ing him about a marriage she desired to see arranged he quietly remarked My name Is Bramston not Brimstone J I am not a maker of matches A Fire In Home A lawyer who visited Rome tell3 how the fire department grappled with a blaze in the Eternal City He says Thy fire was in what we would call a grocery store It seemed a lonft time before the lire department re sponded but after awhile I saw a hose wagon dash around the corner with a number of firemen standing on the running boards on each side The wagon stopped at u hydrant and each fireman jumped from the wagon with a little roll of lioe The first man coupled his to the hydrant and then each man coupled his section to the preceding section Finally they had water on the fire and after another long period a man with a plumed hat drove up in a victoria He was the chief The captain of the company and the chief saluted with much cere mony then shook hands and then held a long and dignified conversation Finally I suppose the captain told the chief the grocery was on fire and the chief acknowledged it was and com plimented him on his perspicuity Oh yes they finally put the fire out and Rome still stands Difficult Iluyimili inpr One of the most curious sights that one notices in the agricultural parts of Norway is the peculiar way of drying out the hay On account of the ex treme dampness the grass rots if left on the ground after it Is mowed Wood en drying fences that stretch for hun dreds of yards across the fields are built and every night the hay is hung out to dry like the family wash The sun helps along in the daytime but it is only a half hearted help and in the neighborhood of Bergen where it is said to rain 3G 1 daj s out of the year the hay is almost always on the fence In the lake districts where the hilly country makes means of trans portation very difficult a heavy copper wire is stretched from the top of a mountain to the village in the valley below Down this huge masses of bay are sent sailing through the air some times whizzing dangerously near the unwary tourists head New York Tribune Yes We Are RcnIIohh We are a restless people observes the Sedgwick Kan Pantagraph Every thin woman longs to be fat Every fat woman wants to grow thin Every town man longs for the time when he can retire to the quiet of the country and every farmer hopes to some day quit work and move to town where he can take life easy Country newspaper men would like to try their hand on a city daily The fellows on the big dailies dream of a time when they can own a paper of their own In youth we long for maturity In age we yearn for the happy days of childhood There is no excuse for it other than that we all seem to be built that way The grass seems to be just a little bit greener and thriftier most any direction from the place you occu py right now Contentment is as near to happiness as you can get in this world Boy Was n Good Listener The Smiths were not overcautious in discussing neighbors faults In the presence of their little sou A van one day backed up to the curb and much to Mrs Smiths disgust her boy
