Human Life for August 1910. The remarkable story of Miles Poindexter, the standard bearer of insurgency from the Far West who has become a national figure in his first term in Congress, is one of the leading articles in Human Life for August. "Shall There be a Monopoly of the Air?" is a question that far seeing men are beginning to ask, realizing that it is likely before long to overtop all others in world-wide interest and importance. Hiram Moe Greene handles this subject in masterly fashion, and offers an original and practical solution. Roosevelt's battles in the political arena at the outset of his career, always as the fearless champion of the common good, are of profound interest as told in Alfred Henry Lewi's great serial, "The Story of Roosevelt," in this issue. The second in the series on great American captains of industry appears in this number, and the story of Heinz, the "Condiment King," is an Arabian Nights wonder tale of a man who has reared an industry of truly astounding proportions from the humbleest of beginnings. The great free West recruits its reform leaders from all ranks, but the story of Roady Kenehan, blacksmith and State Auditor of Colorado, is certainly one of the most unique ever written. The love of pictures is as old as the race itself, and there is a wolf of them in this issue. Crisp, scintillating editorials on people in the limelight, and numerous thumbnail sketches of the great and near-great complete this excellent number. Phones 1791. ED.

EDITOR'S OBSERVATION Chicago the great and mighty metropolis of the world save three other cities is indeed a study of wonder. At her grandeur her wonderful growth, her sky touring buildings, her tremendous factories, her thrilling industrial thob, the groan and tread of her teeming millions. I do really believe that with the immense people that the elevated cars above the subterranean cars below, and the regular buildings, her tremendous automobiles that come down to town each morning must within a given hour move a million people to see the rushing down some of the streets, one would think it was an city one should be here several days but I will give my readers a faint idea of the things that impressed me. The many buildings extending from 12 to 21 stories high, and then to see them constructing some of those high buildings, the Masonic Temple, the Government building, the Exchange the Marshall-Field, the Commerce buildings are all noted for their beauty and grandeur. Here dwells at least 50,000 colored people with more than 300 colored churches of nearly every denomination. The A. M. E. denomination is the largest and have the finest buildings, Quinn Chapel will seat about 3000 people pastored by Rev. Cook. The Mt. Olivet Baptist will seat about 2,400 people pastored by the late Mt. Olivet Baptist is pastored by the well known eloquent preacher, Dr. Fisher, the Grace Presbyterian church is a beautiful little church, seating about 800, pastored by our friend Rev. Moses Jackson who came here as his first charge many years ago from college, and has built up a large following. He is the most famous theologian. The Episcopal have sold their old church and now own a beautiful church on 48th and Wabash Ave. They are getting along nicely. The Catholic has a very unique church very beautiful on the inside. It was this church that Father Tolson died and greatly lamented by all. They have a white preacher and a mixed congregation. The institutional A. M. E. church is still presided over by Dr. A. J. Carey well known by the church. He is Bathsheba Baptist have a nice church well attended, Rev. Timothy Reeves is the presiding Elder of the Methodist he is well known and liked in Iowa. The Pekin theater on 27th and State is the largest and only theater owned by a colored man. Robert Mott is his owner, he was formerly an Iowa man, having lived in Washing- ton. In addition to to the theater he has a saloon, a first class restaurant and he owns the grounds. The theater is making money, his uncle, Leon Mott is manager of the theater. They will run an advertisement ever soon. This worthy race enterprise is a worthy credit to the business sense of the race. One of the greatest and most wonderful inventions of culinary innovation is a new cooking stove device, called "The Delath Mott cooking device" Just invented and patented, and will we believe, revolutionize the united world. She has already received patent rights in five foreign countries, and the corporate companies and the wealthiest people of Chicago make daily pilgrimage to this life cottage on 3433 State street, to seek operation of this wonderful stove and to hear a little colored woman who has spent 28 years of her life developing and bringing this invention to the world explain every detail of the stove as she demonstrates it every day she has now three standing offers for the right of the U. S., one of $20,000 $20,000 and $40,000, cash. but she will get let it go, cash. she organizes to buy a spay of both cooled and white of $20,000 and put it upon the market, as she knows it will be a money making investment. Miss Fannie Michem Dellah is a girl that was born 40 years ago in Kentucky, receiving only a common school education, but by some unknown power she has devoted her life earnings and talent to this one thing, and last year she worked eight months behind closed doors in the Mackay chapter of the company per day to thus work. No pen of mine can describe this specimen stove that she had built by the Regal Model & Tool Works at 192 S. Clark street. It can be operated by either stem, gas, electricity or wood heat. It stands about six feet high and will heat a ten-room house, at the same time cook for any size family with less fuel and more economy. I would advise our trainee invention. I would inform our trainee for our information regarding the purchase of Stock ar any further information. Rev. and Mrs. H. J. Clark are still living here, doing well. Their son is in the real estate business, doing a large business. Mr. John Fry is the manager of the Keystone Hotel at 3031 State, the best first class colored hotel in the city, doing well. Freq. D.

"In February, 1903, a gentleman asked me to try Chamberlaid's Salve. I bought one box and used about two-thirds of it and my eyes have not given me any trouble since." This salve is for sale by all druggists. When the digestion is all right, the actions of the bowels regular, there is a natural craving and relish for food. When this is lacking you may know that you need a dose of Chamberlain's Stomach and Liver Tablets. They strengthen the digestive organs, improve the appetite and regulate the bowels.

Meanwhile, remember that there is always some hotter place. Do not argue with the contagion-spreading house fly. Swat him! "Doing nothing" has been defined to be a looker-on at a game of checkers. Drownings are increasing in direct proportion to the carelessness of humanity. It does not necessarily help any to get cold feet during this sort of weather. You will enjoy your own outing better if you help others who are less able to get one. A man has reached the limit of boredom when he ceases to laugh at his own witty remarks. An airship that goes only 33 miles an hour will not make much of an appeal to the joy rider. And after the confounded potatoes get up, every blessed cutworm turns into a blooming potato bug! A St. Louis man claims that he never had to swing on a car strap. A circus has an armless wonder, too. Anyway, that baseball player who, while eating, stabbed himself in the arm with a table fork had a wretched delivery. The Cincinnati woman who says she will not rest until kissing has been abandoned has a weary time before her. We've known amateur gardeners who saved an unbelievable amount of money by buying their truck at the grocery store. A 15-ton shark has been captured near Seattle. The people are in luck that it did not scramble ashore and proceed to run for office. It costs $50 to ride 300 miles in the Zeppelin airship. It is hoped, however, that competition may eventually bring about a lowering of the rates. Following recent experiments at Hammondport, N. Y. it is gravelly announced that the aeroplane is not very good as a man killer in war. Who cares? It was not until the inventor of the hoop skirt was eighty-three years old, that he died. How long must we wait for news from the inventor of the hooble skirt? Cities that are disappointed because of the census returns should reflect that Uncle Sam is as much interested in making a good showing as any particular community possibly can be. English nobleman announces that he is willing to marry a beautiful and wealthy American girl. For once the big unmarried male American majority can sympathize with the British peerage. If American heresses who marry poor Englishmen of title are to be given the cold shoulder by the Court of St. James, the circle of mourners in this country and Great Britain will be very small. Mulone, notorious Sicilian brigand—that name sounds queer—has been sentenced in Perugia to 144 years' imprisonment. It may be motivated that Signor Nastassja was tried in his absence not having been seen since he escaped from his captors in 1906. Thus the exemplary sentence, while probably pleasing the authorities, does not hurt the signor. The uninsinkable ship may be a long way on, but she will appear some day, and then such items as that which chronicle the drowning of a captain and eight men by the sinking of the steamer La Rochelle in the English channel as a result of collision by which she was almost cut in two. The modern passenger steamer can be cut in and directed as two planes could to be possible to so construct ships that they will stay afloat even when sewn in twain by the surgery of accident. More earthquakes have been recorded at Washington, but they attract little attention now that Halley's comet has proved an alibi. Germany is to have indestructible aerial warships. From earth modern progress moved the locality of battles to the sea and the air. It is characteristic of the perversity of human nature that the first thought of the practical adaptation of man's victory over the resources of nature should be to use this victory for the destruction of man. When the airship passenger routes are in full operation it should be unnecessary to post signs warning passengers not to get off while the machine is in motion. But long acquaintance with the traveling public may result in keeping the sign up. A University of Chicago professor now suggests that Venus is inhabitable, arguing that habitat conditions there are nearer this world's than on any other planet.

SUPREME JUDGES ARE NAMED Session is Marked by Hires and Cat-Calls—Senator Cummins Ignores President in His Address—Dolliver Elected Permanent Chairman. Des Molnes, Ia.—The Iowa state Republican convention adjourned Wednesday after a bitter controversy between the progressive and stalwart factions. Candidates for supreme justice and superintendent of public instruction were nominated and a platform was adopted. Senator Cummins was the temporary chairman and Senator Dollier the permanent presiding officer. Both were cheered and hissed during their addresses. The resolutions as adopted dismiss consideration of the president with the note, "We indorse such efforts as President Taft and his advisers have made to fulfill the promises of the national platform." They reaffirm their loyalty to the platform of 1908 but do not recognize the revision of 1909 as a satisfactory fulfillment of the party promise and therefore favor the creation of an independent non-partisan tariff committee to secure facts regarding imports and urge revision of schedules separately. They commend Senators Dollier and Cummins for "their work upon the tariff bill, the railroad bill and the postal savings bill." They commend the action of the board revising the rules. They endorse the recommendation it be given additional strength to meet the devices of modern industry. They favor the fixing of a physical valuation on railroads in order to secure effective control of rates and a complete system of accounting. They favor amendments to the postal savings law to keep the money deposited with the government within the communities where deposited. They favor conservation of natural resources. They indorse the primary law. They promise there would be no backward steps along prohibition lines in Iowa. They demand election of States senators by direct vote of the party they insisted on a readjustment of the representation of Republicans in national convention. They favor an income tax, and favor co-operation of the national government in enlarging the usefulness of the system of public education. Under the primary law, the nominations for state officers were made at the primaries in June excepting for supreme judges and superintendent of public instruction, in the latter office there not being a majority vote. Judge Evans of Fort Dodge and Judge H. M. Deemer of Red Oak were nominated for the supreme bench. A. M. Deyce of Garner was nominated for the office of superintendent of public instruction. The new state committee is composed of six Insurgents and five stalwarts, and C. F. Franke of Parkersburg will be continued state chairman. Senator Cummins, as temporary chairman, threw the convention into disorder when he named the part of "Lincoln, the Army of Roosevelt," ignoring President Taft. Congressman Lacey, a stand-patter, walked into the center alice say, "Taft, Taft Taft," in which he was joined by his fellow stalwarts. Roosevelt's name was cheered. Cummins ignored Lacey's cry, but it was some time before he could resume. Senator Cummins was very emphatic in his declaration that the tariff bill as it stood needed considerable revision to make it right. He also warned the country against going too fast on the central bank idea, and said that wealth was demanding too much toll already. Senator Cummins was cheered repeatedly by the progressives, the stalwarts generally remaining silent unless to interrupt him. He referred to "hopeless and retreating reactionaries," and declared that the Republican party must speedily become all progressive, or all standpatters. He declared it would be easier to make the Republican party all progressive, than secure proper form from a government administration. He warned that Payne, Aldrich, Dalsell and other so-called regulars are no more in favor of the principle of protection than are the progressives. When the Insurgents presented the name of Jonathan P. Dolliver for permanent chairman, the stalwarts offered opposition in J. C. Mabry of Albia. Dolliver was named by a vote of 834 to 549. In accepting his position he said: "I have no ambition left-to-me myself out of the firing-line for public rights against private interest. And so my sympathies are with the man who seems to have suffered at the hands of the roll call." Here Dolliver was hissed. Ship Rammed Off Seattle.

Insane Murderer Then Slays Wife and Babe—Dismissal From Fire Department Service Inspires Tragedy. San Diego, Cal.-Bert S. Durham, a discharged member of the local fire department, ended a man hunt Monday by fatally shooting himself through the head after killing three jerseys, including his wife and child, mortally wounding a fourth and severely injuring a fifth. Durham, in a desire for revenge, turned in a car and when his team workmen responded he fired a volley of shots at them, killing one and probably fatally injuring two others. Durham then ran to his home and with a piece of steel wrapped in a handkerchief beat his wife and baby about their heads as they lay asleep, killing both. Durham, who had been hunted relentlessly for hours, dodged his pursues, leaving the car without a clue, and for the residence section and rode quickly to the plaza in the center of the business district, where he put a bullet into his brain. He recovered consciousness later, but the coroner says he will die. Durham's victim were Donald F. Grant, engineer engine company No. 3, San Diego fire department. Mrs. Bert S. Durham and child. Peter Sammell, captain hose company, dying. Guy Elliott, driver hose company, may recover. At the first shot Grant fell from his seat to the ground dead, with a bullet. At the second shot Elliott pitched to the ground with a bullet through the stomach. Durham then leveled his revolver at Captain Sammell and fired twice, both bullets piercing Sammell's lungs. Two more shots, fired at other members of the crew, went wild, after which Durham drew another revolver and with it covered his retreat as he started to run from Assistant Chief Sneedcove, to the alarm. As he disappeared in the darkness Durham shouted back to the assistant chief: "Tell my wife I am going to kill myself."

SLUMP IN THE AUTO BUSINESS Bottom Seems to Have Dropped Out Notwithstanding Boosting Efforts of Manufacturers. New York—Indications point to the bottom having fallen out of the automobile business. The manufacturers, it is reported in trade circles, are making strenuous efforts to keep up a show of continued prosperity, but it also tells them that are not selling their product, and are storing machines throughout the country at their various agencies to prevent the public realizing the true conditions of the market. Several large concerns are laying off men and giving all sorts of reasons for so doing except the statement that they are overstocked. Two or three of the largest factories recently closed entirely, ostensibly for the purpose of taking inventory, but the workmen were not given any definite time at which to again forfeit their jobs. They expected that these factories will again be in operation this year. A well-known automobile agent of this city said yesterday that all cars would undoubtedly be selling at 25 per cent, to 50 per cent. less than present list prices within the next two or three months. He added: "The trouble with the automobile business is that the farmers and people of the smaller cities and towns have not taken as kindly to the idea as was anticipated. The farmers find that the cost of keeping them in repair and operation is more than the cost of keeping horses to perform the same work, and while there was, for a time, a tendency among the farmers to invest in the machines, the demand for horses was practically stopped, and I venture to say we will not again sell to the farmers to any extent until prices are materially reduced." New York.-Edwin J. Wider, the cashier of the Russo-Chinese bank in this city, its stealings from the bank's security box resulted in a loss of upward of $500,000 to the institution.

When he has established Victoria safely at the court of King George, the king will return to Spain. DIE IN TEXAS RACE RIOT Eighteen Blacks and Three Whites Are Killed in Pitched Battle Near Slocum.

NHERE HE SAW RESEMBLANCE Apt Remark of Small Boy Embarrassed Toper and Filled Car With Merriment. Jimmie, who is a very small boy diving in the East end, accompanied his mother downtown several days ago. Nearly everything he saw was quite new to him, so he was not sparing in his comments and opinions and questions. Seated opposite Jimmie and his mother on the car homebound was an individual who, judging by the "bossom" on his nose, had partaken freely of joy water. None of Jimmie's neighbors possessed an appendage that could compare with the one across the aisle. In silence Jimmie took in the situation and the "bossom." His thoughts must have grown so curious that they could not be withheld any longer and he finally blurted in a loud voice: pointing to the man with the red nose. Embarrassed, Jimmie the mother tried to silence her son, but it was no use. In an audible whisper the connection between the man and Santa Claus was disclosed much to the discomfiture of the man. "Why, mamma, didn't it say in that story about Santa Claus that Santa had a "nose like a cherry," he asken, and the car was in an uproar.—Pittsburg Times-Gazette. SHOULD HAVE BEEN BUSY.

WASHINGTON GOSSIP Heads of Navy Are Annoyed By Women Heads of Navy Are Annoyed By Women Girl's Good Looks Are a Bar to Work Girl's Good Looks Are a Bar to Work Sad Red Men Must Ride on the Wagon WASHINGTON. — America has taught the people of the Chinese empire to smoke cigarettes. In a report to this government on foreign trade by Consul General Charles Denby of Vienna, in which he described the class of foreign markets which may be created by American enterprise, and then supplied the consul general says: "One of the most conspicuous examples of such a market is the demand for cigarettes in China. Ten years ago the cigarette was an article used in China by a small number of people, chiefly foreigners. The field attracted the attention of a group of American manufacturers who examined into it and decided to introduce the cigarette to the Chinese people by American methods. The result is that now the cigarette is popular throughout the empire." The international opium conference to be held at The Hague next fall will have a very general representation of the powers, according to the latest information reaching the state department. In reporting to this government on opportunities in Malaysia for rubber- NAVY DPT LEMON JOHN HAY had a saying that the ideal diplomatic service—if any government ever succeeds in having one—will be composed exclusively of unmarried men. Mr. Hay had no experience in naval matters, or he might have included the navy in his maxim. There probably is no branch of the government service, the Washington Post says, where petticoat influence is so strong as in the navy. Ask any ex-secretary of the navy about it and he will tell you how the navy women in a thousand different ways, sometimes unconsciously and occasionally deliberately, annoy the navy department. He will tell you how they scheme to obtain desirable posts of duty for their husbands or sons and how they annoy the department with requests for a change of orders when their husbands are transferred from an easy job in Washington to sea duty on the Aslantic station or some other far-away tropical post. The recent row at the Boston navy yard, which cul- AFTER losing four positions within a year just because of her beauty, Mary Todd has left Washington and will try her fortune elsewhere. Miss Todd set out to be a stenographer. Her employer got mixed up in his dictation and included phrases that could not have been part of the correspondence. As a shopgirl the floorwalkers strolled too often near her counter. As a milliner she aroused the envy and jealousy of customers. Miss Todd has been living in Georgetown for a little more than a year. She came here from a small Pennsylvania town, well equipped to work, with money enough to wait until a reasonably good position was open to POOR Lo has suffered many priva- tions at the hands of the national government in the process of civilizing him, but the hardest blow yet must be no more "fire water" sold on the ceded lands of Minnesota. Lo will take his seat on the water wagon at once. The order includes several counties and if carried out to the letter would even prevent the sale of liquor in St. Paul and Minneapolis, which stand on ceded lands. Under state laws the counties embraced in the order—Becker, Cass, Clay, Hubbard, Mahnomen, Norman, Beltraml, Itasca, Polk, Clear Water, Red Lake, Crow Wing, Wadene and Ottertall—have enjoyed the license system of the state and Lo, who dearly loves his fire water, has been able to procure it without restriction. By the new order he will have to go dry. The provisions of the treaties by which the lands were ceded prohibit the introduction of intoxicating liquors in the whole northern part of the state, except by consent of congress or the president, but up to the present time the provisions have not been enforced owing to opposition from the white population, which vastly outnumbers the reds. Ocean vs. Bartender. "Do you remember where they stung us ten cents for beer on the pavilion growing enterprises, Consul General James T. Dubals at Singapore, cited as follows an instance to show how the investing public is sometimes taken in in the exploitation of the rubber industry there: An estate was sold to promoters for $150,000. The syndicate gave an old planner who knew the estate to put a flotation value on it. He named $250,000. The promoters were not satisfied. Another expert examined and reported. His price was $350,000. British and American gold was pouring into the country and the get-rich-quick spirit was born. Another expert was called in. He was told of the former valuations and that they were unsatisfactory. He valued the estate at $500,000. Just at this time, rubber took a big jump in the London and New York markets and another expert was asked to report and he placed the flotation price at $750,000 and the syndicate in order to have it in round numbers made it an even $800,000 and floated it at this price. People fought for the stock, the share issue was oversubscribed and many of them immediately sold at a good advance. All this was done within a few months without the slightest improvement on the property except the natural growth of the few hundred acres of Para plants which had recently been planted. Trained white supervisors on the rubber estates are in demand, the consul general reports, and there is a scarcity of labor and consequent high wages. minated in the court-martial of two officers, illustrates the prominent part women play in navy circles. Almost everybody knows of the mutual ill feeling existing between the navy women and the department. Every once in a while something happens to widen this breach. Only a few days ago Englisn Charles M. Austin, son of Representative Richard W. Austin of Tennessee, was deprived of an especially desirable berth by the navy department merely because he got married. He had been detached from the dispatch boat Dolphin at the Washington navy yard and ordered to Japan for duty as a student attaché at the American embassy at Tokyo for the purpose of studying the Japanese language. On the way to his new post of duty he stopped at his former home in Tennessee and was married to a girl he had known for many years. This was too much for the unrno mantic departmental authorities, who suddenly decided that a married en sign would not make as good a student of the Japanese language as a bachelor. Accordingly his orders were revoked and instead of spending his honeymoon in Tokyo he will have less interesting service at the naval training station on the Pacific coast. He will, however, have his wife. her. "Yes," she said, half-angry and half-amused, "I have been overwhelmed with offers of marriage as well as of employment. But these offers do not appeal to me. Most men forget that I have my own sweetheart, and if I were inclined to consider a second time it seems that mine should be the privilege of inviting his attentions without having them thrust upon me. "At first I did not take such things seriously, but since then I have known other girls who have shared the same fate, merely because they are more beautiful than their colleagues. "I have worked in offices where there were 17 girls, and by the end of the third week I was embarrassed by repeated offers of company, pleasures and the like by various men in the office. This gave rise to some bitter passes between some of the other girls and myself.

Computing that there are in the United States at least 300,000 indigent consumptives who should be cared for in charitable or semi-charitable sanatoria and hospitals, the National Association for the Study and Prevention of Tuberculosis estimates that the annual cost to the country for the treatment of these persons would be $50,000,000 at the rate of $1.669 per day per patient. At the lowest possible estimate the country loses $200,000,000 a year from the incapacity of these Indigent victims of tuberculosis. This would mean a net saving of $150,000,000 a year to the United States if all victims of consumption who are too poor to afford proper treatment in expensive sanatoria were cared for at the expense of the municipality, county or state. And this annual gain does not include the enormous saving that would accrue from the lessened infection due to the segregation of the dangerous consumptives in institutions. SCRATCHED SO SHE COULD NOT SLEEP "I write to tell you how thankful I am for the wonderful Cuticura Remedies. My little niece had eczema for five years and when her mother died I took care of the child. It was all over her face and body, also on her head. She scratched so that she could not sleep nights. I used Cuticura Soap to wash her with and then applied Cuticura Ointment. I did not use quite half the Cuticura Soap and Ointment, together with Cuticura Resolvent, when you could see a change and they cured her nicely. Now she is eleven years old and has never been bothered with eczema since. My friends think it is just great the way the baby was cured by Cuticura. I send you a picture taken when she was about 18 months old. "She was taken with the eczema when two years old. She was covered with big soress and her mother had all the best doctors and tried all kinds of salves and medicines without effect until we used Cuticura Remedies. Mrs. H, Klernan, 663 Quincy St., Brooklyn, N. Y., Sept. 27, 1909." Judges' Wigs. The wig is only worn by English barristers to give them a stern, judicial appearance, and no one can say that it falls in this respect. The custom was originated by a French judge in the seventeenth century when, happening to don a marquis' wig one day, he found it gave him such a stern and dignified appearance that he decided to get one for himself and wear it at all times in court. This he did, and the result was so satisfactory from a legal point of view, that not only judges, but barristers, also took up the custom throughout Europe. Protection Against the Heat.

LINES TO A WAITER You may talk about the man with the hoe, and sing about the man behind the gun. There's a man you've all overlooked. I will try and tell you about him before I am done, in fact, he needs no introduction, to all good civilized people I vow, but lend me your cars for a moment and I'll write a line about him anyhow. Well of all the jobs or occupations the hotel waiters can write, the Hotel waiters place puts them all to flight, while some men work all six long days, and others cry it a sin, but hotel men work all the time, and Sunday too thrown in. They must hustle to work at early dawn, may the weather be pleasant or cold. For the fellow who always lags behind, shall surely miss his gold. And when at last your pay comes 'round. And your creditors fast and thick. The way your wealth is divided up, 'twill make your heart feel斜. And but they say he gets enough, because he dresses neat. But most the watters now-a-days, have hardly enough to eat. Although they serve it day by day, the costifest and the best. But if they catch you with a scrap, the steward does the rest. And on this choice and wholesome food, where all the money is spent. They waste enough most every day to feed a regiment. And so the waiter has to live, on food that's bad and cold. So judge ye not the waiters lot, the story's not half been told. The first thing a waiter has to do, is try and look his best. Wear good clothes and a pleasant smile. And be humble to his guest. Keep his life, white as snow. Constant change his front. Pay his twenty-five dollars a month. You must rush in the kitchen, like a racer on the track. You must hurry in the kitchen, or you never may get back. Tis hurry here and hurry there. Like the man that carries the hod. Catching everything that comes his way, or else look for another job. You must rush in from the kitchen even faster than you came. With a load upon your shoulders, and a load upon your brain. You must be cautious less a mistep. And your reputation is lost. Although 'twas an accident, but the waiter pays the cost. At last you reach your station, in the spacious dining room. The guests may often wonder, why you came back so soon. Then you take a brace and look wise. But ah if they only knew. What there was in store for you. They might see the tears arunning out your eyes. FIRST CLASS RESTAURANT Good meals for 15c and up.

S. Joe Brown, Attorney for Plaintiff. WATER LILY We all must have our ups and downs. In this great world of sorrow. And the side-waiter of today May have a better chance tomorrow. So take this lesson to your self. And don't stand around and whine. But keep yourself together boys. And hustle all the time. So the waiter's lot is hard to excel. As one may plainly see. And how he makes both ends meet, is a hidden mystery. Well now I close my little rhyme. Although you deem it trash. But the road is rough, and very tough. For the men that sling the hash.
