JACK LONDON NOT YET KIDNAPPED BY NEP Author's Cruise of the World Was Only Temporarily interrupted. Author's Cruise of the World Was Only Temporarily Interrupted. For weeks Jack London's many friends feared that he and his little boat Snark were lost in the Pacific, somewhere between Honolulu and the Society Islands. When the Mariposa docked in San Francisco recently from Tahiti, of the Society Islands, an anxious crowd of friends were gathered on the pler, hoping against hope for some news of the adventurous author. It was a dramatic moment when Jack London, followed by his wife, was among the first to step gaily off the boat. Only the day before the arrival of the Mariposa London's bankers in Oakland, despairing of his safety, had recorded the mortgage against his home, which had been drawn last April in order that London could obtain funds with which to fit. out the Snark. The Snark, which had left Honolulu on Oct. 1, was heard from for nearly four months when London and his wife stepped off the Mariposa on a fly visit to his home. shall wander through the South Sea Samoa, Tasmania, New Zealand, Australia, New Guinea, and the Philippines to Japan.

For instance, if it is possible to get permission from the Government, we shall spend seven months on the Grand canal and great rivers of China. We shall write a letter to the Governor, and another in the south of the country. London left the Snark at Tahiti to have her engines overhaul, as they had not worked well since he started on the voyage. "The reason we were so slow in reaching the Marquesas," said London, "was that we took things lusciously, and we also encountered a school of Waves, a school of which followed us for three weeks. I also caught a large sea turtle 1,000 miles from land. We touched at Neakahi island and spent a week at Talohal, afterward going to the beautiful valley of Type, which Sherman Merivale has immortalized in his story. Then we sailed for Papeete." We left London returned Feb. 2 on the Mariposa, to Tahiti, where they will resume the voyage around the world. For Seven Years' Voyage. On May 4, 1907, the Snark dropped down San Francisco bay, slipped through Golden Gate and started on the world-wandering voyage—a tiny bit of wood and canvas on a boundless mass of water. Aboard the Snark were MRS. LONDON AT WHEEL OF SNARK. Jack London and his wife, Capt. Eames, who is an uncle of Mrs. London, Martin Johnson, engineer, a sailor and two Japanese servants. It was a small and motley family to live together—huddled together in fact—for seven long years, and maybe longer, for it was London's plan to spend seven years on his cruise. And so it was he starred, bound for everywhere, eye pooled for the musical his chief object—besides keeping his best right side up through storm and tempest—being to describe the strange people and interesting things he should see in his vigorous photographic English. would drive it for a thousand.

The first days of June found the Snark safely moored at the docks of Hilo, Hawaii, the first stage in the long world voyage having shown that the little boat was fully as seaworthy as her amateur owner had thought. The Hawaiians have a sport which, though centuries old, is more sensational perhaps than any other sport on earth. No sooner was the Snark well docked than the dashing London was off to Walkikit Beach, where terrific breaks for miles out to sea, to learn how to swim, which is as difficult and dangerous as it is thrilling. London learned the first day to ride the giant breakers on his flat board, lying on it on his stomach just as though he were coasting down hill. He was so sunburned by the experience, however, that he had to take to his bed for three days. A short time before the Snark left San Francisco, London wrote this characteristic letter, giving as definite an outline of the cruise as one could expect, when the cruise was to occupy seven years, and when the wheel was to be manned by Jack London in search of adventures: "I may give you a brief idea of the trip," he wrote. "From Hawaii, we He Didn't Understand. "Do you know anything about mechanics?" inquired the mouse in the trunk. "Not a thing," answered the rodent at large.

Then Korea and China, and on to India, Red sea, Mediterranean, Black sea, Baltic, and across the Atlantic to New York, and then around the Horn to San Francisco. We shall not rush ourselves, and shall have no schedule of places. If the whim strikes us, well go off to the mountains and different places that tourists heard of. If it takes a dozen years, instead of seven, well and good. You can take a look at the map and get an idea of the different countries we shall stop at along the way, as well as of many additional places we are likely to visit. For instance, if it is possible to get permission from the Chinese government, we shall spend several months on the Grand canal and the great rivers of China. We shall certainly put in a winter at St. Petersburg, and another in the south of Italy. If it is possible, we shall go up the river. There are great canals across Europe, France, Germany and Holland that we shall go through, if arrangements can be made with the various governments controlling those canals. There isn't a European country in which we shall not spend from one to several months. I am putting a 40-horsepower engine into the boat, to be used in cases of emergency and also for used into the interior of countries. For instance, when we strike Egypt, we go up the Nile, traveling through the heart of the land and living on board the boat." The Snark is a staunch little boat—forty-five feet on the water line, fifty-seven feet over all, with fifteen-foot beam and eight-foot draft. She weighed thirty tons gross. She was ketch-rigged—this is, was half-yawl, half-schooner. The boat was equipped with a seventy-horsepower gasoline auxiliary engine and carried 1,000 gallons of gasoline, which, it was estimated, would drive it for a thousand miles. She was built from a model designed by Capt. Eames, the entire construction, from the molding the five tons of iron for weighing the keel to the making of rigging and sails being under his supervision. The little vessel was designed and rigged that she steered herself for a good part of the distance between San Francisco and Hilo. Is No Landlubber. London was no landlubber when he JACK LONDON, MRS.

Defective Page skipped in the Snark at San Francisco last May. He had been a good deal of a water rat ever since he was fourteen years old, at which time he found himself leading a rough-and-tumble life on the "ozone-laden" waters of San Francisco bay. Here he became in rapid succession a pirate, a fish patrolman, a longshoreman, and a general way-faring adventurer. Rather a rugged existence for an innocent lad of fourteen, but London had inherited a love of adventure from his father, who had a record as a trapper, scout, frontiersman and Civil war vetener. At seventeen the skipper of the Snark took to the open sea as a common sailor before the mast. He was a man who spent some time in seal hunting in the Arctic along the Russian coast. On this trip London became a mutineer along with JACK LONDON, SKIPPER. the rest of the crew because the captain tried to pay them off in foreign coin. Among the first to go to the Klondike was Jack London. He didn't find much gold, but he did find experience aplenty, and the material for some of his greatest stories, such as "The Call of the Wild" and "White Fang." When he was still a boy his love for picturesure adventure led him to start across the country to join Cooney's army, which, at the time, was on its way to Washington. He "beat it" on bumper beams from San Francisco to Buffalo, where, with others of the army, tragglers was arrested for drunkenness and railroad crimes where he stayed for three months, and where, no doubt, the seeds of socialism had good chance to sprout. For, since then he became almost as raid a socialist, as often signed himself "Yours for revolution." When the Snark was lying at anchor at Hilo, London made his historic speeches. It was all but virulent, and the London wrote afterward to friends that they could find but two socialists in all Hawaii! The late Gov. Parsons of Alabama was one of those few Southerners who espoused the Union cause during the Civil war. At the time of the trouble he was a member of the Alabama legislature and, to the indignation of his Southern friends who had elected him to office, he voted against secession. Soon afterward he wrote his wife, that, as his supply of shirts was exhausted, he desired her to send him more as soon as possible. Mrs. Parsons, a zealous Southern, answered in a note remakable for its brevity and point. Without prelude or formality she wrote: "You have turned your coat; you may turn your shirt."—Philadelphia Ledger. DON AND CAPT. EAMES. Anything to Oblige. "Yes; he gets a new trial."

It takes a good bit to shock the civilized world these days." POSITION OF METEOROGRAPH ON KITE ABOUT TO BE LAUNCHED. A visitor to the Blue Ridge mountain of Virginia might almost any day notice several large box kites flying at different altitudes over one of the valleys, and on going nearer would see that a number of men were earnestly following every movement of the huge kites. "Boys play," the visitor would probably comment sarcastically as he men running, wildly behold the movement of the kites move, but if he went still closer, near enough to ask a few questions, he would learn that this particular bit of kite flying is far from being schoolboy sport. It is scientific research by the government to ascertain by means of meteorological recording instruments attached to these kites the condition of the upper strata of atmosphere so as to enable the weather hunter to forecast with greater accuracy and a longer range of instruments attached to kites been sent as high as 31,500 feet, much more data as to the pressure of the atmosphere, the humidity, temperature and velocity and direction of the wind has been secured and has proved of considerable assistance in making forecasts. The box type of kite is used, the instruments being attached to the frame, and the kite is let out on plano wire, which is the strongest wire for its weight obtainable. A huge roll-in a revolving tower, so every movement of the operator, is used to let out the operator, is used to twelve miles of wind an hour being required to start them, although flights have been made with less surface wind. The pull of the kite, when once launched into the air, is sufficient to unwind the reel as the kite files upward. Clock work mechanism in the instruments records the time as the conditions are being taken, and by using the amount of wire, out and the angle at which the kite is flying the operator is able to figure the altitude attained. At present the weather bureau is able to forecast for two days ahead at the most, and even then a suddenly developed storm or the invasion of an upper air current into the surface atmosphere is likely to set their calculations at naught, so that it will be the upper layers of air will prove of great use to the bureau and the country. For instance, a layer of cold air may envelop a vicinity, resulting in a drop in tem- perature, but this layer may be thin and immediately above it a heavier layer of warm air, which will soon dispel the thin cold layer, resulting in warmer conditions. Were the observers able to ascertain this they would know what to expect and would be able to forecast warm weather immediately. By means of the instruments now perfected the bureau is able to ascertain the horizontal expansion of a storm area, but has no means of determining the vertical expansion, and this is what the experiments now going on at Mount Weather, where the government observatory is stationed, seek to determine. Already by means of the lites it has been ascertained that the temperature dimishes as the altitude grows greater, although there are numerous layers where the temperature is warmer than the layer beneath. It has been shown that there is a decrease of one degree for every 183 feet of dry air. Thus, if the surface temperature was 45 above, 300 feet further up it would be 44, and so on. At an altitude of 31,500 feet a temperature of 54 below was recorded and the decrease continues as the altitude increases, surface conditions have absolutely to do with the upper atmosphere, and an altitude of 10,000 feet the temperature would be the poles or over the equator. For instance, the January temperature for Sierra is 58 degrees below zero, while a temperature taken at an elevation of 31,500 feet would be but 54 degrees below. Strictly Biz. "You have never started a foreign war." "Not me." "Nor, denounced an international marriage?" "No," explained the practical politician, "them kind of shines won't get no new court house for Plunkville." Observations have resulted in the knowledge that relatively warm layers of air exist between the extreme cold of the surface air and the extreme cold of the outer limit of atmosphere, and these layers are known as inverse layers. Actions of low and high barometers are as yet a mystery to the weather bureau, as in the case of the other day when a low from the Northwest traveled eastward to Chicago, where it was met by a 'low from the West, the two joining forces and con- tending to the storm, they did this no one knows, and it discovered some of these mysteries that the government is now working. A complete apparatus for taking kite observations has been installed at Mount Weather and when the wind is too light—which is seldom—for kite work, balloons six feet in diameter are sent up to various attitudes with In 100 O strutite attached. In this manner the government is slowly securing very valuable data as to the conditions aloft and with the gradual perfection of the instruments will be able to give out long-range forecasts, the benefit of which to the country is inestimable. In many cases three and four kites are harnessed together, the head kite doing the steering and the others helping to climb. Electric bridles are attached to the leading kites as to do away with any jar which might of affect the delicate mechanism of the instruments. Occasionally a kite breaks of the depth of a server can form an intensity and the terrestrial affected by the observatory early dissolution of shadowed by the circulation proper ward less than 2,500 tion.

As an example of the beneficial results of definite knowledge of what is happening in the upper strata, suppose that a low pressure formant is forming just above the surface air, Low pressures are of a cyclonic nature, and were the observers able to discover this pressure while it was forming they would be able to warn the community-over which it was settling. As it is at present, if the layer is peaceful the observer has no way of knowing what is happening up above. If sufficient knowledge of the upper curved surface below allows possible to forecast a season together with detailed forecasting from day to day. One of the most useful discoveries at the beginning of the kite flights was the direction of the wind in the upper layers, showing the marked tendency of south and east winds to shift to the right at increasing altitudes, the altitude at which the shift occurs being dependent on the temperature of the several air layers having different directions is also of the greatest importance, as by a rough knowledge HOUSE ON LEFT. of the depth of a disturbance the observer can form a good idea as to its intensity and the probable extent of territory affected by it, as in one case at the observatory last summer the early dissolution of a law was forshadowed by the fact that the wind circulation proper to it extended upward less than 2,500 feet above the station. The depth of currents which belongs to the circulation of highs and lows vary between wide limits. In the case of easterly winds the altitudes attained by such current were found to be generally less than 2,000 feet, although one observation showed northeast winds prevailed from the earth's surface to an altitude of 13,815 feet. This, in turn, was an exception. In south winds the depth of water was found to be 1,682 feet above the maximum depth 2,631 and the minimum 349 feet. In the case of winds between north and east, the average depth in six cases was 3,033 feet and the maximum depth 6,735 feet, caused by an anti-cyclonic or high pressure whose center was directly north of the observatory. While it seems probable that the winds up to at least two miles above the earth's surface respond to the barometric gradients observed in the strata, this is by no means certain and will require further investigation. The following general conclusions have been drawn from the kite data as far collected: The air column in the low is warmer than that in the high; the region of greatest cold is found in the southeastern quadrant of the high; as the center of the high crossed the observatory and passed to the eastward temperature conditions aloft became more or less unstable, inversion taking place and the rate of decrease of temperature with the increase of altitude diminished. There has been much valuable knowledge has been acquired by the kite experiments, but much have still to be learned, and this is the reason the government is hard at it every day in the year.

The treasury at Washington is to come down. Within a few weeks the demolition will be begun, and the history—all of it, that is to say, that stock will be war—will be reduced to a wreck, the entire front including the 30 great Ionic pillars upholding the roof of the Fifteenth street facade, being torn away. For this purpose congress has appropriated $300,000. The contract has been awarded to a New York firm, and quarrying has already been begun at Milford, N. H., for granite which is to take the place of the sandstone of the present structure. This sandstone which was brought from Acquia creek, in Virginia, in 1840, is poor stuff, and shows a disposition to disintegrate. Large chunks of the portion have been falling from time to time, narrowly missing people's heads, and it was finally decided that the whole facade, pillars and all, would have to be removed and replaced with stronger material. It will be built into the treasury as it stood in the 40s and early '50s, was a long building, fronting on Fifteenth street and of no great depth, which to-day forms the middle section of the east side of the huge rectangular structure occupied by the financial department of the government. As originally erected it was a copy of the Temple of Pallas Minerva at Athens, and its site was chosen by that irasible and obstinate old gentleman, Andrew Jackson. Congress left the matter to him, and one day, as it is related, he walked over from the White House, thrust his cane into the ground, and said: "This is the best place for the building. Put it here!" Now, the intention always been that Pennsylvania avenue should run in a straight and undeviating line. In that, he had always done so up to that time, even though he had to pass the past front door of the White House, which in those days was on the south front of the president's dwelling, and not on the north as at present. But the building of the treasury in this badly chosen spot broke the avenue in two, so that it loses itself for a couple of blocks in a manner puzzling to the stranger in Washington. Which reminds one to say that visitors at the national capital are much impressed, not unnatural, by the information, conveyed to them by professional guides, that the gigantic pillars which uphold the roofs of the porticos on the north, south and west sides of the treasury, are monolithic, the largest in the world, each of them hewn out of a single block of granite. They are further astonished when told that these pillars were brought near the way from Dix Island, near Rockford, in Maine, being put aboard sailings vessels, landed at Georgetown, and hauled to the building site by teams of 18 oxen. The treasury as it stands to day is a building of granite—save only for the old and original sandstone structure which, as already explained, forms the middle section of its east side. It is now intended to remove the entire front of this ancient edifice. Architecturally speaking, there will be noticeable it; it is simply a matter of substitution of the material for another. However, incidental to the operation, the sandstone pillars, which are composed of series of superposed cylindrical sections, will be replaced by granite monoliths. Vanderbilts in Washington. More and more Washington is luring members of New York's most exclusive set. The George Vanderbiltts, after visiting there regularly for many winters, now have a permanent residence in the capital and it is said they have found the city so much to their liking that they will not be seen in New York again till summer. They went to their new house in Washington a few days ago, and have entered upon a big social campaign. Mrs. Vanderbilt has been losing interest in her old circle in New York city, and it is understood purposes to favor Washington for entering the future. The Vanderbiltts have been increased and plan by the several trips with guests to Biltmore, the famous estate in North Carolina. With parties of from 12 to 20 guests the Vanderbiltts have traveled in special trains between Washington and Biltmore for week ends, and more of these excursions are planned for the brief interval before Lent.

"I was astonished and flattered, too," said a new congressman, "at the warm reception of Roosevelt gave me the White House acted as if he was never more glad to see a man in his life. I didn't suppose he would remember me." "Yes?" said the veteran interrogatively, "Where were you in the line?" "Let's see: I was about the last one, almost the last one in the line," said the new congressman, reflectively, "I thought so. The president had shaken hands with some 1,200 people. I bet he was glad to see you, too." "These old congressmen are so jealous if a new member gets any recognition," the freshman lawmaker said his wife, later. HAVE YOU READ THE APPEAL?

SATURDAY, FEBRUARY 29, 1908. AS YE SOW, SO SHALL YE REAP. Commenting upon certain statistics of divorce given out by the Census Bureau, the Chicago Journal says: "The marriage institution is rapidly losing its sacrieness. The stigma that used to attach to persons breaking their marriage bonds no longer exist. Many people marry now with a feeling that the relation is only provisional. If it does not prove satisfactory, they will break it. Wedlock, which used to be regarded as a solemn thing, is now entered lightly and treated with indifference. If the husband is a "good provider" and the wife meets no man she likes better, if the wife continues agreeable and pretty, marriage is persisted in. If not, then the chain is broken and husband and wife seek new affinities." But the Journal does not seem to see the real root of the matter. THE APPEAL is bold to affirm that the wonderful growth and extent of evil in the United States arises from the fact that it is a general sentiment throughout the country that a large portion of the population of the country is so low and degraded that it is a matter of indifference how much it may be down-trodden and oppressed. How many of the white citizens of the country care how many of the Afro-Americans are maltreated, disfranchised and oppressed? But would one of these persons think it a matter of indifference if one Afro-American in their community were taken with small-pox? Would they not demand that the house be quarantined? The fact is that any one infraction of moral law opens the way to every other species of vice and crime. The gambling house leads to suicide; the saloon to murder. The reason, why so many Southern legislators are under indictment for stealing is because they have all their lives been robbing the Afro-American. The reason why there is so much cheating in the primaries in which none but Democrat are concerned is because those fellows have been trained to the work by cheating the Afro-American and do not know any other method of managing political affairs. As ye sye, so also shall ye reap; and the South is reaping an abundance harvest of mandrakes and toadstools and docks and darnells, whose seeds were sown in years gone by. HOAX OF GEORGIA. Throughout the late Democratic movement involving Judge Parker he aligned himself with the stalwarts of the stalwart. No sooner was that fight ended, however, than he plunged headlong into a railroad-abusing, negro-baiting, demagogic and mud-slinging campaign for governor of Georgia almost, if not quite, unparalleled in the history of the South. He was elected, overwhelmingly. He promised the sun, the moon and the stars from the stump; naturally, he is having trouble delivering the goods. The only really big thing that has been delivered is something he didn't promise—prohibition. Thus the esteemed Washington Herald discourses concerning the most brilliant member of the Smith family, Hoke, of Georgia. The Herald pronounces Hokey "one of the intellectual giants of the South." Haox did one big thing'when he went to Europe to promote immigration to Georgia, which caused the Farmers' Union to declare its members didn't want any European immigrants. It is also related that he owed his appointment as a member of Cleveland's cabinet to the intervention of the Afro-American Bishop Turner. Haox's greatest deed was securing "The gal in the fountain" for his Piedmont Hotel. The estate of Marshall Field, the deceased Chicago multi-millionaire, was recently compelled to turn over $1,000,000, which the old man had swiped from the city in taxes. The thing happened in this way: Field had about $25,000,000 in stocks and bonds smuggled away somewhere on which he paid no taxes for six years, but in order to make such a disposition as he wished of his personal property he was compelled to list these bonds in his will. That gave the thing away, and the lawyers made the old fellow's heirs fork over the million. The way to acquire a fortune of $100,000,000 is plainly indicated in the foregoing. Go, thou, and do likewise. A man said to be a Chicago gamber was arrested in Harrisburg, III, a few days since for fleeing some suckers in a poker game. He was fined, and, refusing to pay the fine, was sent to the workhouse. There he refused to work with the chain gang on the streets and the authorities had him chained to a telegraph pole, where it is stated he will be pilloried daily until he pays his fine or agrees to work on the streets. We'll bet a cookie he will have a better understanding of the meaning of a square deal when he gets the chance to shake the dust of that burg off his patent leathers. It is said that the heirs of a rich Chicagoan are rejoicing because he died just as the surgeons were about to perform an operation. Now, do not misunderstand us, as we do not mean they rejoiced because their father died, but because they were saved from paying the big fees to the surgeons by his earlier demise. There is a woman in Indiana who is seeking a divorce from her eighth husband and is seeking for her affinity at the same time. She says she will continue to marry until she finds him. As this is leap year eligibles are fleeing the country. We notice that Mr. Harriman relies for his defence partly upon the Fourteenth Amendment. Since the Amendment is of very little use to the Afro-American. We are glad that it is worth something to somebody. If Kentucky sends her insignificant little old squirt of a former governor to the United States Senate, the shades of Clay and Crittenden will certainly enquire: Why has thou disquieted me, to call me up? The most flagrane instance of lese majeste which has come to our notice is that of the Charleston News and Courier calling the three conferring governors the three tailors of Tooley street.

HAPPY LIFE OF THE CHORUS LADY 2 MEXICAN CARRIES HIS MONEY Who has not heard that moss-beaked joke about the chorus girl who saves her money? It has figured in the "comics," it has been shown on the stage and it has been repeated millions of times to those who have it still oftener. Its age is unknown, but it is probably as old as the mother-in-law joke, and with the latter, will survive panics and presidential messages. Like the poor, it is with us always. Having read about the hilarious lives which these butterflies of the chorus lead while on their way to fame and to millionaire marriages, a New York reporter was assigned recently to find out if the chorus girl's hindness was all wool and a yard's wide, exclusive of the selvage. he went to the manager of the theater where musical comedy or comedy holds forth, and was told to go to the stage door and night he chose. He selected a night when the air was just nipping enough to whet the appetite of any after-eleven-thirty mortal for "a bird and a bottle." His imagination received its first jolt when he approached the stage door. The street in front of it was deserted. Where was the long line of limousines, chugging impetuously? The reporter drew the stage manager into a corner and told him his errand. "Go on, you're fooling!" was all the encouragement he courteously out that unidealistic person; but we insisted the custodian - of ropes and lights, and, if necessary, the possessor of lurid vocabulary capitulated. "I don't care, then, if the manager says so. Talk to any one you like and I'll tell her she can stay out of the next chorus number. Here they come now. Hey, you, sis, come here; somebody wants to talk to you. You two better sit over there where the music won't spoil your conversation." He turned his back upon the girl and the stage manager began telling a group of students he thought of the violent manner in which they swished their skirts during the last number. THE IMAGINARY The chorus girl looked curiously at the reporter, for she had not yet been able to fathom the whole proceeding. They sat upon a wooden bench painted to represent real stage stone. "Let me talk first," began the reporter, "and I'll wipe away all the mystery of this affair. I simply want you to tell me about the happy, happy life led by you and your sisters in the chorus. The public have read a lot about it, and have heard that your mother has been there strictly to a lobster diet and water in your bath only. All of this they have believed and still want to believe, so I'm relying on you to feed them with facts, about the enviable manner in which you romp through life in high-heeled Flower slippers, opera length hose and chug-chugging automobiles." "Say, are you quite through?" asked the chorus girl, and her voice betrayed some impatience. "You may not know it, but you are talking considerable nonsense. The nearest that I have come in a long time to tasting MEXICAN CARR He Dislikes Checks and Does Bank Almost any Mexican in professional or business life carries on his person anywhere between $200 and $800. Even the poor Indian in his blanket can more than likely produce more than many foreigners. The ordinary Mexican professional man will be found to carry sums of money on his person that would surprise the ordinary traveler and even cause him worry were he forced to carry it with him, yet the Mexican never even thinks of it, says the Mexican Herald. It was put a few days ago that an instance of this kind was brought to attention. One Mexican of the middle class asked another in a casual way if he could change a thousand-dollar bill. The other pulled out a wallet from his inside pocket and counted out nearly $2,900. Time after time lobster was when at Christmas time our landlady served what she called 'lobster croquettes'. Well, let's not boast about it, for I know the taste of good, honest veal, even when it's disguised with a fancy name. And so far as that foolishness about the operability lobe goes—well, it's litle black, with double soles and heel—they—they just if you're careful. Automatic wearers are much my chauffeur wears a cap with a shield that reads: "Metropolitan Street Railway." "And what guff about champagne," continued the young woman, with a sneer, "that's in the fairy tales. Say," she demanded, turning to the reporter, "what branch of literature have you been consuming, anyway?" "subdued seeker-thruth about-churchmen admitted that he had browsed occasionally among magnates that you can find on the street corner bookstand and that have dashing crimson covers. "Aw!" sniffed the chorus girl in disgust, "that's dope - d-ope. Dye heat? We usually have rehearsal in the morning, and then we go back to the boarding house for lunch. In the afternoon we do, what little shopping there is to do, darn stockings and sew up rents, no, not the landlord's. Then there's dinner and the nickel chugch to the theater. After the show is over we usually go back to the palatal hall bed rooms, which are hardy wide enough for a narrow-minded person. A lot of us live in the same place and if somebody's flush has been, we crackers and beer before turning in, if we all equally poor we chip in and buy the cheese and beer for the snack. isn't it exciting? "But," protested the reporter, "there must be some chorus girls who own automobiles, and who make so-called 'lobster palaces' habitable places? It cannot all be fiction?" "Neither it is, Mr. Reporter. But you'll also find ladies who own automobiles and who are responsible for the disappearance of many lobsters in other walks of life. I'll not mention any details. But they are, nev- 2 THE CHORUS GIRL ertheless. However, that's got nothing to do with the chorus girl. Take it from me, the chorus girl is a pretty hard working little slave, and if she had one-tenth as a good time as the great public believes she has, why, she would simply faint away and leave a note for brother not to wake her up. So long! And, say, if you don't mind a bit of advice from a sisterly person, they like to tell you to change your overgrown imagination now, supervised—as they in the doctor's report of a rich patient—by thousand-and-one night tales you dig out of the illustrated dope magazines. Be careful!" And with that the chorus girl stood up, gave her short skirts a swish or two to straighten them and then ran to join her sisters in the chorus. The reporter waited, just long enough to hear the aggregation singing something about "We are the merry, merry," and then he unostentatiously groped his way to the stage door and out into the night. The street was still deserted—no touring cars, not RIES HIS MONEY Can't Understand the Use of the Books. this has happened, and it seems no uncommon thing for a Mexican of the middle class to carry between 1,000 and 2,000 pesos on his person. The check idea seems to have taken but small deal as yet upon the citizens of Mexico, especially when small amounts of less than $1,000 are concerned. They consider it much easier to pay spot cash than to give a check for amounts of $50 and $100, and they claim with some amount of reason that a business deal can be put through with better advantage when the cash is in sight. From the Indian in the street carries amounts of cash that would never be supposed to be in his possession. They carry their money in a leather belt, fastened around their bodies inside their trousers. These belts are hollow and are open at one end. Into even a taxicab. And another one of his ideals of life in a big city was shattered. The next day he awoke to the sensation that the chorus girl had filled him with unpleasant points of view. If that was all that went to make up the chorus girl, I then why the chorus girl? Why, indeed? Determined that the truth and nothing but the truth about this alleged alignment of life must be known, he primed himself with questions and went to that fountain head of knowledge on matters of this kind, namely, Mrs. E. L. Fernandez, who conducts a theatrical agency, and who comes into contact with the realities of the chorus girl, and with the motherly person, who obligingly interrupted her business when the reporter explained his visit. "I am delighted that the newspaper takes up the cudgels for the chorus girl—delighted not because of any personal reasons, but because I know that it is the most maligned business or profession in the world. You read a lot of nonsense about the hilarity of that life, but let me tell you it's rubish. I know what I'm talking about, for they come here applying for positions. The pay of a chorus girl ranges from $18 to $25 a week. It averages about $20, and out of that the great majority of girls support not only themselves but a lot of other people, too. "Believe me, I am not talking ideals," said Mrs. Fernandez, very serious, "but I am giving you some of the straight facts of the case. I get a moment when I read some of the stuff I appears about these girls and about. They are supposed to do nothing but decorate lobster and loll in the cushions of their automobiles. That's rot, sheer rot." "And if some of the people who believe these things and smile incredulously every girl is mentioned—if some of those people would look into the case they would find that a great charity could be done in providing a reasonable-priced, clean quarters for these girls. "But why do so many girls hanker after such a life if it is so dry and tryin'. "Because nearly all the world is 'stage struck'," replied Mrs. Fernandez. "That is the only possible answer. "That alone explains why so many 100 THE REAL girls hanker after getting into the chorus. Nowadays it is demanded of them that they know how to sing and that they have good voices. Besides, they have to be good looking, young and have good figures. So long as they keep these qualities they may remain in the chorus, but when they begin to get a bit old nobody wants them any more. "What then what becomes of them?" "Oh, I don't know," sighed Mrs. Fernandez. "Some few, you know, rise from the chorus to the ranks of prima donna—Miss Edna May and Miss Lulu Glaser are such examples. But they are the exception—the others drift out of sight and new faces and voices appear. "So you see it is a trying life and necessary a brief one. There's not much fun in it for the chorus girl, believe me. Of course, there are some"—and here the lady shrugged her shoulders—"but you'll find them outside the chorus, too. And people should not condemn the whole cake just because one raisin is overripe, should they?" the open end the Indian slips his pesos or bills until he has the whole full. The belt then is either taken off and hidden away or the bills are changed for large denominations and still carried around the body. But the Indian is a sticker for "pesos duros" and prefers them to any other class of money except gold. To the Indian money is money and a bank book stands for nothing in his way of reckoning. A check he will not accept under any circumstances, because he does not understand it. A coin or paper currency is what he is after, and that is what he keeps his hands on when he gets it. Explained. Miss Carnegy of Cralgo, a Scottish belle of former days, disliked paying taxes, and always pretended to misunderstand their nature. One day, receiving a notice of such payment, signed by the provost, she broke out and said: "I dinaa understand the taxes, but I just think that whenever the provost's wife wants a new gown her man sends me a tax paper!" ```markdown ``` An unseekable Christian Institution, devoted especially to advanced education.
