This is along sensible lines. When the society can reincarnate the soul of Bill of the play, old Shake himself, of Tom Jefferson, or others of that class, there will be something doing. We fancy the society will have trouble in managing the reincarnating act and all that, but in these days all that is re quired to do anything is to organize a society with a grand Hi-ink-adink and chief cock-o-lo-rem or two and the thing is done. There are thousands just anguishing to join any old society if it has offices enough to go round. ADVEETIBINO RATES. Advertising rate will be furnished on application.

Uptodate, Saturday as she finished dressing pre paratory to doing Shriners day at the fair, "is my dress too tight around tha bottom t "Well Birdie," replied John as he surveyed the skirt foTe and aft, front and rear as his charming wife turned in front of him to dis play its effect, "it is pretty snug, dear, and it is pretty tight around the ankles, too." W. J. Bryan is a great man and a great statesman on paper, but when it comes down to practical things in the way of running his office, he is not making a brilliant record. He, like many others, can tell others how to do things that ho cannot do himself. He will hardly go down in history as a great secretary of state. Judge Humphries, of Seattle, is now the greatest thing on earth in his own estimation. Wonder what would he feel like if he owned an auto and drove it himself I THE city of Chicago is up against it in the matter of a crematory. It seems that the plant that handles and disposes of the garbage of the eity is owned and operated by a private company. The city is desir ous of purchasing the plant, but the company does not dosire to sell at the price offered, and the city will not buy at the price demanded. In order to force tho cityy's hand the company has served notice on it that unless it comes through and pays the price demanded, that it will close down its plant and let tho city dispose of its garbage as best it can. Tho company, no doubt thought it had the city ovor a barrel, and could make it pay any old price rather than have an epidemic of typhoid or something of that kind. This is one caso howovor, where cunning and greed will over reach it self. The mayor of Cincinnati some years ago showed the way around this kind of a dilemma, when tho ice plants shut down and refused to operate on account of a strike. On that occasion the companies undertook to force tho public to take sides with them as against the strikers, by shutting off tho ice supply right in the middle of the hot season. Tho mayor of tho city had some brains and also some initiative. He doclared that the public health demanded tho operation of tho ice plants, that the cutting off the supply meant sickness and distress for the city, and so he invoked the law of eminent domain, and took poesession of the plan's as a public necessity, and operated them, too. The courts sustained him in this just as they will Chicago if she declares tho closing of the crematories a menace to public health, takes possession of them and uses them until other arrange ments can be made. The whole is groator than any part and all Chicago is certainly larger than the garbage companies. This move would make the company do some swift thinking, and then it would operate its plant, and that steadily and quickly: A GREAT FAIR IN EVERT WAT. THE STATE FAIR, tho 52d hold in the state, has come to an end after the most successful mooting in its history. Tho weather clerk was on his good bohavior and gave us cloarn Bkies and a perfect brand of woathor generally. The exhibits woro the finest ever seen in tho state and theroforo as fino as evor soon in tho world. The attendance was a record-breaker, tho raceV despite tho disgruntlod Californians, who kicked be caiiKO tho fair was not hold in July to accommodate thorn, were splendid, and the floral display on the grounds wivy beyond anything ever before attempted This latter feature was due to tho intelligent and artistic work of Mr. Hugh Bryan, of Portland, and was universally admired and praised. The receipts this year for the first time will exceed the outlay and leave a nice little surplus. However while tho matter is fresh in our minds we should make a note of a few things that can bo done to add to tho pleasure and comfort of fair visitors. One of those is to make somo arrangement by which those in the grand stand can bo made to koop thoir scats as the races finish, and permit thoso behind them to seo thnm. There is universal kicking about this evil, and it is one that will be difficult to' stop. The management has the right to boliovo it is soiling tickots to ladies and gontlemen, who will not 'deliberately rob all others of thoir right to see what thoy have paid to soe, es pecially as their action in jumping to thoir foot as tho racos end, docs not hot ter thoir viow. No gentleman forgets what ho owes to thoso in whose com pany ho is thrown, and it needless to say that a lady should bo as much of "a gentleman," as her CBCort. Another thing that would aild much to tho pleasure of mothers with smftll babies, is a room with two or three nurses, whore babies in arms can bo loft for an hour or two, whilo their mothers rest thoir tired arms and also got a chance to look around a bit. It has boon suggested, too, that a "lost and found" department bo maintained, woro lost kids could bo taken, or word loft for them. At this point too, messages could bo left by thoeo separated, or in case one wps suddenly called away, and meeting places arranged. When one gets separated from another in a mob of 30,000 scattered as they are at tho fair grounds, it is next to impossible to get together again, especially if one of them gets up in tho grand stand and a sort of information buroau would go far towards correcting this. 'NO SENTIMENT IN BUSINESS." N OLD MAN', who had borrowed heavily, lost his nerve when his business A affairs grew troubled, lie went to his banker, haggard and broken, threw up his hands and begged tho banker to foroeloio. "I'm all in," ho exclaimed hopelessly. "Save what, you can out of tho wreck I can not see my way to carry tho load another minute" The banker happoned not to be a Shylnck, but a warm hearted human being. Ho patiently drew from tho man the details of his troubles, showed just enough sympathy to bring out the full flood of confession and when tho old man had finished, the banker mid: "Now, seo here, John; our bank doesn't want to toss you into tho street. The trouble with you, 1 fancy, is that you'vo been too near to your problem. You've brooded uHn it until it has got your goat. I want to mako a prosi tion to yon. You say you have somo payments which must bo met this week, and then matters can go for somo timo before they'll reach another crisis. I'll jiersonally advanco the money for these immediate difficulties if you'll prom ise to go away for a rest anil not give a thought to your troubles until you feel refreshed. " Tho man jumped at tho offer, shod tears as he stammered out his thanks, and departed as with a new lease of life. Three weeks later ho returned, clear-eyed and smiling. During tho Interval the fog in his brain had blown away, ho had conceived a plan to surmount the obstacles, and today he Is mak ing good. Tho bank has not lost a dollar and that kindly banker Is on the man 's list as one of the saints of earth. ' No sentiment in business!
