Jiumomis Jlrpartmrnt. A Janitorial Wizzard. On? day Brown lost hia temper and ^ determined to discipline the janitor, t] relates the New York Evening Post, e "Why is it," he said, "that every P time anybody in this building loses ^ anything you ask us if we know what w has become of It?" n "Because," the janitor replied, "you ^ are me oniy ioiks uui nnn n anything." I i: Next morning Brown shouted down | 1 the dumbwaiter shaft: "We're short a bottle of milk; where is It?" tl "I don't know, sir," the Janitor an- a swered humbly. "I'll see if I can h find it" o "Why," said Mrs. Brown, "we got our milk." a "Don't worry," said the husband, a "Of course he can't find it, but it will do him good to stew around a little." a About fifteen minutes later Brown f< was summoned to the dumbwaiter. g "Here's your milk," said the Janitor. ^ "I'm sorry I made a mistake." "Where on earth did the fellow get ei it?" he said to hiB wife. d "He has taken It from one of the neighbors." walled Mrs. Brown. ei Next day Brown complained of the N loss of a package of sugar, which, ^ though purely imaginary, so far as g the Browns were concerned, very s< soon materialized in the hands of the s' resourceful Janitor. Even Brown got uneasy then, but being bent on ven- V) geance, he subsequently reported as si lost bread, a head of lettuce, and a bag t( of potatoes, all of which were im mediately produced by the janitor. tl When Brown paid his grocery bill i* for the month, Mra Brown, who is a ? systematic housekeeper, scanned the w account. si "Why, they have made a mistake," jj she said. "They have charged us for e. milk and sugar and things we never n got." ? Brown went back to the grocery to Inquire. "It's all right," he said upon his re- tl turn. "We got the stuff.

" WONDERFUL NEW YORK ? (Continued from Page One.) 1 rith a tremendous coil of hose. Down tie street and over toward Fifth av- i nue, black smoke was pouring from a oint middleway in a sky-scraper that i joked as if it was more titan tweiu* lories high. 1 wanted to go closer and I .atch the thing out; but chd not. rxexi lorning the papers told of the partial urnmg of a great apartment house, nd the thrilling rescue by the flrelen of scores 01 neopie whose retreat 1 rom above had been cut off by the re below. * ? * New York's rapid transit system is he most wonderful in the world. In ddition to automobiles and other veicles, it consists of surface trolleys, verhead trolleys and sub-way trolsys. It requires them all to take care f the people, for with cars going on 11 of them only a few minutes apart, nd all generally packed to standing oom, Broadway, the main thoroughire, is still thronged with pedestrins. One wonders now, if it were not >r the cars, the people would ever et through the streets. As a matter f fact they could not do so. But It i the subways that are most wonderjl, and which take care of the greatst number of people. These run far own under the streets, burrowing beeath the buildings, underneath le East river into Brooklyn at one nd of the Island and underneath the lorth river into New Jersey at the ther end. There are four tracks, two >r cars going north and two for cars oing south. The outer north and juth tracks are for local trains that top at every fifth or tenth street, and le inner tracks are for express trains lat make stops at more distant inter- I EUa The surface entrances carry gns saying whether trains go "up >wn" or "down town," and when the assenger enters one of these stations s e has only to board the first train , lat comes along to go in the direction idicated. The trains are made up of 1 ve or six cars each, and although ? enerally one is able to find room t 'here he can stand and hang to a , trap, the chances of his being able > eet a seat are rather against him 1 lan in his favor. The speed of an < Kpress is between twenty and thirty j liles an hour and the sneed of a local i generally a good deal less. * * 1 No other one thing that 1 saw was 1 lore interesting to me than the "news ( cker." Possibly I have read of them , efore, but I am not sure. The most iat I can say for certain along that ne is that time and again 1 have seen t stated that there had been inveniea ( means, whereby typewriting could e transmitted by wire and received ' t the other end in typewriting. 1 i ave been aware of such an invention < lore than ten years; but I had never een the machine in operation. It was ' i the office of a large financial con- ' em. Attached to the wall was a lit- i e machine that was constantly tick- ( lg away and turning out an endless . ill of paper. At first I thought it as an ordinary stock ticker, which i had seen before. Prom time to time j young lady, who was private secre- try to the member of the firm in hose office I was, would tear oft ' hmit (njn vflrrie nf the nflner nnfi s ang it on a file. Sometimes she , rould scan over the paper and someimes she would not. Her employer appened to be too busy with other tatters Just then to give his attenon; but presently he suggested to me lat I might be interested in looking ver the current news. I stepped over ) the "ticker"' and examined the paer. The machine was recording in t'pewrlting the news of the day as it ras coming over the wires of the Asddated Press and other such organiEitions, except it was being summar:ed after the style of the "Mere Menion" column of The Enquirer. There ras news from the war in Europe, deelopments in Mexico, happenings ot tie city, and practically everything tiat was going of local or general imortance I asked the gentleman as to tie system under which the news was 8sembled and disseminated, as to the srms to subscribers, and whether it as a newspaper enterprise or of a pecial corporation: but about all that e could tell was, "Why, that is just tie daily news service that we have 11 over the city." Although afterward was in several places that I would ave considered wealthy and up to ate enough to have anything that tiis big concern had, I saw only one ther in the city. But of course such convenience as this is bound to be f general use among all the business ten of New York who want it, and rho have the money to pay for it, and here are thousands who have the loney to pay for anything they want. * 0 0 There is another thing in which lew York stands alone. No other city n the world probably has a larger umber of eating houses. There are eople, of course "who live at home nd board at the same place,'* but fulY half the population must do most f its eating at the restaurants, called y all kinds of names. There are laces where a fairly good meal may e had for fifteen cents, and from here a man may spend $25 or more on single meal for himself, or as much s he wants to spend, if he has the loney. And when it comes to eating, be wealthy do not mind spending.. In rdinary discussion of New York, it s common to hear people say that hese Yankees will take you out to .inch and spend a lot of money on you 3r the purpose of trying to get at our pocket book through your stomch. There may be something in this; ut no more so probably with New 'orkers than with other people. Even mong the business people of New 'ork, the men are Just as human s the men to be found elsewhere, 'hey know as well how to be cautious nd hospitable, and in most cases rhen they ask a friend or acquainmce to take a meal with them, it I leans exactly the same as when a outhern man extends the same kind f invitation to go to his home. It is fact, of course that more important < usiness is transacted over dining | ibles north than elsewhere; but that T oes not necessarily argue that there i any catch or snare about it. It has ' een my experience at different times 1 n previous trips as well as this to bt . ivited to lunch or dinner by wealthy few Yorkers, and I do not mind say- ' tg that the way they spent money ad a depressing effect on me. I am ot accustomed to it and do not want > be. 1 have a feeling that the money i being wasted, and that I would like > see it put to better use; but still 1 now that this should be no concern f mine, and after all perhaps of the ?n or twenty dollars spent by a rich tan over a little lunch for two, maybe good portion goes to the cook, the orters, the waiters and various other ervants and their families along own the line. What looks like wasteil extravagance may be wise distriution. and maybe after all there is o cause to moralize over the matter, lowever, one thing is certain, if it ills upon me to do the honors in New ork, lets don't go to the India House. >elmonico's or one of those swell laces up town. Child's restaurant 'ill suit me. There are quite a numer of them in the city on Broadway nd elsewhere. They are neat and lean, the service is good, and the bill f fare is all that could be desired. A ollar will buy an excellent meal for ne. and if that one is content to get long with a steak, fish, oysters, ham nd eggs, or something of that kind, om 35 to 50 cents is ample. The serice at these restaurants is always y white clad women waiters who are fidently self-respecting and respectble. No drinks are served. * The streets of New York are full of eggars of all kinds. Some are maimJ and crippled objects of charity who Land on the sidewalks, selling pencils r some other such inexpensive comlodily or who hold out hats, tin pans r other receptacles in mute appeal, hnety-nine out of a hundred people **" ? > t?.l*hnnf 1/wiL-imr n t thpfTl il.^3 (.Htrui uy nuuwu% ?wn.<.n ? nd the hundredth may Rive up a pen- 1 y or a nickle. Such are to be seen t requently alotiR Broadway and in , ther parts of the city: but alonR with iie ordinary humble beRRars. one fre- } uently encounters desperate, dan- ( erous fellows who when they ask you t >r a quarter. are liable to sandbap . ou while you are RoinR into your oeket after it. These do not infest ? irondway so much as the avenues t unninp parallel, and the streets runinp across. Fifth avenue is also bout as safe as Broadway. But even 1 along Broadway and Fifth avenue, these people have favorite haunts where the intersecting streets are somewhat dark. I had no adventures of any consequence. One night as I was walking alone up 42d street toward Broadway, a roughly dressed, pvil looking fellow approached me with the statement: . "Say, Mister, I am from the west and busted. Can't you help me with a half a dollar?" I replied, "I am sorry but I haven't one in my pocket." He followed me persistently for a few steps and then went back the way he had come. As ? came into Broadway, a pretty well dressed, but somewhat dissipated looking fellow stepped up and extended his open palm in which there was a nickle and two pennies. "I thought I had fifteen cents, enough to get to my home out by West farms, and here 1 have only a nickle and two pennies. Can't you help me?" Before I had time to think I put my fingers in my vest pocket and got out a dime which i gave him. Immediately he began to push me up against the side of a house, and at the same time started i spiel of how "I worked all summer for the Democratic party with the understanding that I was to be taken mre of at the City Hall and here [ barred my hand over my pocket in which there was no money except a Tew nickels and pennies; but feeling lis own hand on mine, and realizing :hat I was not responsible for the promises of the New York Democracy, I left him with his woes and started for my hotel. After these two ?xperiences, I decided that I had no .'urther business out on the streets of ^ew York at night?not alone, anyway. W. D. Q. ALCOHOL SHORTENS LIFE nsurance Men Give Testimony Based Upon Their Experience. 'The loss of 500,000 men as the remit of the present warfare could be Tiade good in less than ten years hrough complete abstinence from ilcohollc beverages by all the Inhabl:ants of Russia," according to Arthur '* A? ~ XT ?whn rp. tiunier. a i>cw ium av.iuai;, .? sorted to the convention of the Association of Life Insurance Presidents, n New York, last Thursday, some of :he resutls of an exhaustive mortality nvestigation Just completed by the ife insurance companies into 2,000,)00 insured lives in the past twentyIve years. Mr. Hunter is chairman of the cental bureau of the Medico-Actuarial committee, which had charge of the :hree and one-half year inquiry. The investigation dealt with the experience of forty-three of the leading companies of the United States and Canada in a great many groups of persons supposed to have a higher mortality than the average among Insured lives. While the fundamental object of the nvestigation was to aid the companies in determining what risks in the future should be accepted, rated up, or leclined, Mr. Hunter said that the results could be utilized to lengthen hunan life. Taking up some of the specific results of the investigation, Mr. Hunter said: "Nothing has been more conclusively proved than that a steady, free use of alcoholic beverages, or occasional excesses, are detrimental to he individual. In my judgment, it las also been proved beyond perad/enture of doubt that total abstinence from alcohol is of value to humanity; it is certain that abstainers live longer than persons who use alcoholic beverages. Among the men who admlt:ed that they had taken alcohol occasionally to excess in the past, but whose habits were considered satisfactory when they were insured there were 289 deaths, while there would have been only 190, had this group Deen made up of Insured lives in general. The extra mortality was, therefore, over 50 per cent, which was ?auivalent to a reduction in the aver ige life of these men of over four pears." One of the most significant results af the investigation, he said, was the high mortality among railroad men. \mong locomotive engineers the mortality was 60 per cent in excess of that imong the insured as a whole, which is equivalent to five years' reduction in the average life time. "There is a general Impression that saloon keepers do not live as long as persons in non-hazardous occupations," he continued, "but it is not jenerally known that most classes ivhich are connected with either the manufacture or sale of liquor have a high mortality. Among saloon proprietors, whether they attended the aar or not, there was an extra mortality of 70 per cent, and the causes af death indicated that a free use of ilcohol beverages had caused many af the deaths. In the fourteen sublivisions of the trades connected with :he manufacture or sale of alcohol, there was only one class which had a lormal mortality and that was the ilstillery proprietors." TIRED MOTHERS Man's Work from Sun to Sun; Woman's Work Never Done. Even men, those superstitious :reatures are getting rid of the soJerstition that in the partnership of marriage the one who stays at home las little or nothing to do.

American drama now revolves, a dance of hourls, round the head of "the tired business man." The problem of the problem novel Is how to please him. Magazines and newspapers must electrify his drowsing senses. The advertising scientist studies his psychology: he is bombarded with catchword and epigram to make him sit up and take notice. In a crusty humor, he is wheedled and cajoled; in a gay mood he is obsequiously battArod I>?t him. above all. when he comes home never hear of a thing that has gone wrong; his imperial majesty seeks diversion and his senses must be steeped in the valerian, veronal and bromidloms ol speech and literature or the merry play. There is something, of course, to be said for tired men. But they can speak up for themselves, and they do. Why take it for granted that a man overworked is Socrates, bland and philosophic, but a tired wife is Xantippe, of aspic tongue and vinegar aspect? Job was a splendid fellow, but what was his wife doing while he sate bemoaning on his ash heap? She was organizing herself into a committee of ways and means ?she was considering how much she could get for purple draperies and golden vases and thoroughbred kine. Job, like Bronson Alcott, had conversational marathons with all the philosophers of the neighborhood. Old man Alcott wished that he could be "endowed to talk," but his daughter Louisa wrote the books and kept the wolf from the door. That dear, heroic soul, Robert Louis Stevenson, Is not the first who wished that he could lie down on the hands of the public like a government institution and be supported. The difference between him and the great host of not-combatants is that they did lie down and he did not. Then they discovered that the world hates a quitter as it loves a lover, and he from his sick bed at Vaillma, in Samoa. had the laugh on them. But the laugh was not on the faces of the women who had to do the work that the men refused to do. It is better that a man and woman shall reach the understanding that they are not upon the earth to make war, but to help each other. Whatever else woman suffrage will do or leave undone, it will not extirpate chivalry. For a woman, though deceived and disappointed often, will not surrender her belief that in the world, for her and other women, there are men of tenderness and strength, of fortitude and touching self-denials, friends of God and servants of men, fitted, therefore, to be comrades and the helpers of weakness and weariness and affectionate dependence.?Philadelphia Ledger. PROTECT THEIR 8ULTAN How Cow Elephants Defend the Old Bull. Carl E. Akeley, African explorer, in a communication to the National Geographic society at Washington, tells of an elephant "first-aid brigade, made up of the female elephants of a herd, which not only attempted to give succor to their wounded "sultan," but went on "patrol duty" In an effort to punish his assailant. While hunting elephants In Uganda, Mr. Akeley came upon a herd in a clearing, rounded up In close formation, conscious of the presence of an unseen enemy. "There were about twenty-five elephants, mostly cows; as I was on the point of backing off to a safer distance, thinking there were no big bulls In the lot, a fine pair of tusks appeared on the near side," he says. "A clump of bushes offered cover for a near approach, and I went quickly to within twenty yards of him, and as his front leg was thrust forward offering a good opportunity for a heart shot, I fired both barrels of the double rifle In quick succession. "All was commotion as I seized my second rifle and, seeing there was no direct charge, retreated some fifty yards to the top of an ant hill, from which I could see what was going on. I then witnessed a scene such as I had heard described and which I had been keen to verify. A number of the cows were clustered about the bull, for he had fallen 30 yards from where he was shot, and with their tusks and trunks were doing their best to get him upon his feet; the rest of the cows were doing patrol duty, rushing about in an increasing circle, searching for the source of the trouble. That meant me, so I retired to a safe distance and waited for the atmosphere to clear. The bull stood 11 feet 4 inches high at the shoulders, and the tusks weighs 96 to 110 pounds respectively, while the circumference of the front foot at the sole was 67J inches, the largest recorded, I believe. It is generally understood that large bull elephants are more frequently to be found apart from the herds, but our experience does not bear this out. Three bulls that we have shot, having tusks each weighing over 100 pounds, have been herd bulls. We have found the large old bulls enjoying the society and protection of large herds of cows and young animals. One splendid old bull, well known in Uganda, who has been seen by many hunters, is so well protected by a large herd of most aggressive cows, who charge at the slightest intimation of danger, that he still survives. These old bulls are very rare, for when one has developed tusks of 50 pounds he becomes the tar gei ior every nunier, native or wnue, who rests eyes upon him; thus it is only the more crafty or timid individuals that, seeking the protection of large herds or clinging to the more inaccessible regions, such as dense forests. manage to survive to a ripe old age and develop a growth of ivory. "At another time, I was watching a herd from an ant hill, when from the cows there was a low, ominous rumble like distant thunder, which was plain talk and meant trouble. A hasty glance around convinced us that there was but one thing to do, to stand and meet the charge from the elevation where we were and from which we could see. If we tried to escape to one side or to the forest we could not see them over the high grass before they were upon us. They charged toward us. came half way and stopped. They had lost the wind, but immediately caught it again, and roaring and ecreaming with redoubled energy came into view over a slight rise. It was a disconcerting spectacle. Their great ears at full spread, trunks thrashing wildly, a roaring, screaming mass, 40 tons of female elephant vengeance. I remember that l relt homesicK. a rifle shot stopped the leader, but encouraged by the others, she came on, only to be knocked down by the second shot. The others crowded about her. sniffed and bolted. The old cow slowly regained her feet and staggered away, while we In deep gratitude returned to camp."

PLEXICO & SON Regarding the Monument The Monument is the sole product of man which is expected to exist, without change or repair, for all time?beyond the memory that we ^ cherish in our hearts, which is only as long as the span of life. It may help to form a record, but it is erected as a tribute of love to those who have passed "to that bourne from whence no traveler ever returns." As such, let it be a thing of beauty, not dark and somber, but bright and cheerful; not typifying earthly sorrow, but symbolizing undying love. v And as architecture is brought to us a, from the past by the tombs of the ^ ancients, so let us pass on to those In our steps, some worthy expression of our conception of beauty.
