If the aver ago m ia the street waa interrogated for aa explanation he would probably ay it waa just the usual rustom. However, there ia . .liatinft mMiniiiir in this, for the spare above ia left for the flag of fM Angel of , P( iu commercial exietenc Death. Again, a ship is invariably spoken of aa of the feminine gender; this is traced te the ancient Greeks, who called ail ships feminine names out of respect to Athene, Goddess of the Sea. Friday is believed to be an unruefcy day by those who are superstitutioua. A ia derive.! from the fact it waa the (hay of our 'Lord's Crucifixion as well a mm one os which Adam and Eve at tare fee bidden fruit Few perhaps are aware why a ar-eoek U frequently attached to a shares steeple. This is believed to remind pe pie of Peter's denial of Oar Savior. Journalists are spoken of as "mem bers of the Tourth Estate." Burke is generally credited as being the originator at the phrase, for while addressing Par liament one day he said there were three branches of government, the king, the house of lords, and the house of commons, the Three Estates; but, turning to the re porters gallery, he added, "There sits the Fourth Estate, far more important than the others." The barber's pole has also a curious history. In other times barbera were also surgeons and practiced the art of phelmotomy, and a pole was given to the patient to hold in his hand in order to let the blood run more freely. The pole should have a line of blue paint, one of red, and one of white, winding round its "length, blue representing the blood in the veins, red the blood in the arteries, and white the bandages. "JJncle," adopts his familiar sign of three balls over his shop, because the nails form part of the old Arms of 'Loin rbardy, the people there U'ing the first pawnbrokers in existence. It is a common belief that peacock 's feathrers are unlucky. This is due to the tradition that the bird opened the 3ate of Paradise to the serpent. The nick in a coat has been a puzzler to many. It is said to date back to the time of Napoleon. A general named Moreau had many followers, but they were afraid to openly express sympathy -with him. It was therefore agreed to put a nick on their coats as a secret sign. The letter M ean be seen in the lapel repre enting the initial letter of the general's ame. The word "tip" finds its origin in the fact that restaurant keepers used to place a box with a slit in it, with the words, "To insure promptness," the initials of which spell the now familiar term for gratuity. Edinburg Scotsman. SAN FRANCISCO'S GLOOM. New York World. The glory of Saa Traneiseo has passed. In the last ten years it has been outstrip ped in population by - Los Angeles, its bated rival in the sonth. In the course of a turbulent life it has survived mining booms and panics, the rule of the gamb lers and the vigilantee and the sand lot tens' rise and fall, and weathered earth quake, fire and labor wars that threaten- e. And still it lex kluttz working to Get on Olympic team. (By The Associated Press CHESTER, June 17. A. W. KltitU this morning received the following tele gram from his son, Sergt. Lex Kluttz, dated Philadelphia, Pn.. June 16, '"Land d at Hoboken safely on 'Pocahontas Wednesday afternoon. Our track team of Olympic aspirants now on special Pullman en route to t. Louis, Mo. -First track meet there soon. My ad dress care American Forces iermnn Olympic Team, Jefferson Barracks. 8t. Xouis. I am well and hearty. Most re tarda to all." Sergeant Kluttz some time ago wrote from Coblens, Germany, that lie was driving to make this track team, how ler, the competition was so keen he did mdt know whether his 11 in bit ion would be realized. The event he will participate in is the 100-yard dash which it is understood lie ran run like a deer mrw. To eclipse the world record he will have to shatter the -record made by D. J. Kelly, of Spokane, Wash., who ran the lOO yard dash in 2-5 sceconds, June 2.1, 1906. Sergeant Khattz's quickness in pettine off. which "5 very essential in the 100 dash, is great ly in his favor. has prospered, and waxed rich. Now gloom settles like a pall upon its terrac ed hills with the tragic announcement from the Federal Census Bureau that 'Los Angeles outranks it by 67000 inhabitants. It is the cruellest blow San Francisco has ever bad to endure. With the pass ing of the crown it is grievously stricken fa its pride. More than twenty years ago there was alarm at the sudden rise of Seattle when the Klondike and Nome Uttai into fame. But San Francis 00 saeat settled back comfortably in the knawledge of its assured supremacy. It wse decreed that it was to be the gateway t the Far East and Alaska, the Philip pines Australia and the myriad islands o fthe sea. The Panama Canal raised it to uewer heights of greatness. It is hardest of all to be beaten in the race by Los Angeles, the foster-mother of the movies, the refuge of idling tourists and health-seekers, a second-hand capital I of Iowa and camping-ground of Middle West. Yankees, that regularly returned Republican majorities too big for San Francisco's Democratic wards to over come. It has not so much as a water front, or even a Barhary Coast for the nates of fiction. With its 57o,4SO people, carefully counted, Los Angeles, a dry in land town, with a background of oil and orakiges, can, never be. to true San Fran-ci.-.caiiM anything better than a second class place, census or no census. - PERSHING TO RETIRE. New York World. !en. Pershing lias the very good reason for desiring to return to civil life that as ranking General of the army he finds himself with next to nothing to do. To a man of his age and disposition, in sound health, it is a condition that must appear distasteful ami unprofitable. His choice naturally is for a field that will afford him a freer outlet for his energies. By consequence of being promoted to the rank of General for life he has leen forcel, into an anomalous positnon. The Chief of Staff, who iolds that place only temporarily, is the real head of the army, and the (Jeneral Staff, under the system established by Congress,' is the body in which authority resides for the adminis tration of the army. In effect. Gen. Pershing, as a reward for his services in the war, has been raised to the honomlile office of a sort of supernumerary. The duties proK'rly to be assigned to him a;e limited iu scope and leave him leisure that proniiNes to prove irksome because of the restrictions that go with a Military career. Outside the army, as he says, he would Ik "free" to engage in some thing more active," a laudable ambition for a great soldier fitted bv nbilitv 11 n I experience for the fullest employment in other directions. The decorative side of a General 's existence in Washington, with occasional excursions elsewhere, does not fit iu with the Pershing theory of life. I'nder a different army system Oeu. Pershing's talents could be utilized to advantage. As it is, today a General of the army on active duty of necessity is a misfit through no fault of his own. He outranks the Chief of Staff, to whom he is subordinate, and it is difficult to pro vide work to keep him occupied. The credit for this absurd arrangement belongs to Congress, but the penalty of it falls on Cen. Pershing. INADEQUATE INCOMES. ' Make Them Larger or Do Without If you find yourself unable to live with in your income, there are just two rem edies, either you must increase your in come or reduce your standard of living. That proposition is so simple that a six-year-old child should grasp It, but it seems too much for a lot of us grownnps. If we could examine the budgets of most of the peple who are howling so lustily about the high cost of living and the difficulty of making both ends meet, you would find that the tap-root of their troubles is that tbey are buying too many things tliat they could get along without. The main truth ia that the standard of living that has been adopted by the vast majority 01 Americans la en tirely too high for sound economics. The masses of our people insist upon having a great deal more in the way 'of expen sive luxuries than can be supplied by any possible adjustment of the foreei of pro duction. It is simply physically impossi ble for everybody to have fresh laid eggs, the choicest cuts of steak aud out-of-sea-son fruits' and vegetables. Neither can there be a piano in every home or costly furs and laces for every woman. There are not enough of these things to go around, and that is all there is to it. Nor is the remedy to be found by the easy process of raising everybody's wages. The real remedy, both for the individual and for the nation, is dim in ished consumption of needless things. This will divert labor to the production of necessities, with a consequent redue tion of cost and, at the same time, pro vide the family that is in difficulties with a margin of income over expenditures. Of course, this is all very fundamental economics, but it wil do us no good merely to know it; we must apply it. Failure to apply this doctrine is the cause of most of the economic discontent that hurts. People have got it into their heads that they are entitled to more of the world 's things than they are able to earn. The man who is living beyond his income is not "playing the game," as our English friends put it. No one has a right to more than he can pay for, and the fellow who tries to get it is usually for some hard bumps. The sensible thing to do is, first to find out the things you think you can get, then pick out from them the things you want most, then set about getting these things first. When nations adopt this policy it is called polit ical economy; when individuals adopt it it is called thrift. It is simply the prin ciple of the square deal, or trying to get the things we are entitled to and no more. i to I a: ma W'aat'aftM''''MFi -m. aWlti,ulaa.w An Iiiipbr tarit SpeBialfSale i ft to OF; JUNE BARGAINS .

E. HUGHES SAYS THAT WE PRESENT A SORRY SPECTACLE CAMBHIlMiK, Mass., June 21. Charles K. Hughes, speaking at the cen tenary of Harvard law school here to day, declared that "in the art of govern ing ourselves we not only fall short of what, we should expect in a free people ol so great intelligence, but we frequent ly present a sorry spectacle." His sub ject was 'Some Observations on Letal Education and Democratic Progress." "A passion for legislation is not a sign of democratic progress," he said, "and in the mass of measures introduced in the legislatures of our free commonwealths, there is too little evidence of perspective, and an abundance of elaborate and dreary futilities. Occasionally, a con structive measure of great benefit is skil fully planned, but we are constantly im pressed with the lost motion and the vast waste in the endeavor of democracy to function wisely." The regrettable thing, Mr. Hughes con tinued, is "that the tendency to enact uncertain laws seems to 1m- increasing, and, what is still worse, that the people tolerate it ;nd that there are but faint demands for improvement. Our material progress seems to have created complexi ties beyond our political competency, and disregarding the lessons of history then has been a disposition to revert to the methods of tyrrany in order to meet the problems of democracy. Intent on some immediate exigency, ami with slight con sideration of larger issues, we create an toe ra tic power by giving administrative officials who can threaten indictment the opportunities of criminal statutes with on any appropriate definition of crime." n M- I i i 1 I PRESSES ; 1 lot Silk Poplin Dresses at only $4.93 1 lot Silk Poplin Dresses, $12.50 values, only $7.75 1 lot Silk and Satin Dresses, $35 values, only $22.50 1 lot Silk Georgette Beaded Dresses, regular $45.00 values, at only 132.50 1 lot Foulard Dresses, $35.00 values, at only $28.50 1 lot Taffeta Silk Dresses, $35 values, at only $25.95 1 lot fine Taffeta regular $60. 00 values, at only $42.50 1 lot Wool Jersey Dresses, $35 values, at only$23.00 1 lot House Dresses at only $1.48 1 lot House Dresses at only $1.98 1 lot House Dresses at only $2.25 1 lot House Dresses at only $2.75 j WOMEN'S SUITS $30.00 Poplin Suits at $20.95 $37.50 value Suits at $29-95 $42.50 value Suits at $32.50 $25.00 value Suits at $17.50 $60.00 value Suits at $49.50 $45.00 value Suits at $37.50 MEN'S SHIRTS Men 's heavy Shirts 50c Men 's heavy Shirts 75c Men 's Negligee Shirts at only 75c Men's Negligee Shirts at only 95c Men's Negligee Shirts at only $1.23 Men's Negligee Shirts at only $1.48 SILK NECKWEAR One lot fancy Silk Neckties 48c One lot fancy Silk Ties at 75c One lot fancy Silk Ties at 98c One lot fancy Silk Ties at $1.25 FINE BED SPREADS $...")() White Bed Spreads at only $2.48 $4.00 value Bed Spreads at only i. . $2.95 $7..")i value Bed Spreads at only $5.95 $S 00 value Bed Spreads at only $6.95 MUSLIN UNDERWEAR Gowna, : Coraet Covers, fiae Nainsook nicely trina med ia dainty Lace at reduced' pricea."

Tlie New York World tarries a dis pateli quoting Senator Johnson as say inc t!:it at the proper time lie will pay liis reypeets to North Carolina and other States which he' earried in the primary but failed to reeeive any votes from dur ing the Chi. ago convention. And who ean blame him? for in the primary in this State he so.ured more th.-ni o,000 votes to ,00 votes for General Wood. It is true that the delegates aj the con vention did mil Icnon of these figures, but it was generally uinlcrto.. that he was leading by a large majori'y in this State in the primary vote. He was entitled to the 22 tes from this State, therefore, but he never re reived more than four on any one of the ten ballots, and on most of the ballots he reeeived only one or two. 'fhe delegates from this State carried out their usual program of voting for the man they thought had the (.est chance, and the best means of paying, regardless of the vote of the people as expressed at the polls, and the Senator has a just kick against the Republicans of this State. It is plain to him now that the cards were stacked against him. and knowing this all of the time the North Carolina delegates paid no attention to the voice of the peo ple, and they voted in utter defiance to the returns of the primary. .It seems that the California Senator has a just claim against the (5. O. P. in North Carolina, and who could blame him if he should, at the critical .time, pay his respects to his party ia this State! . r. ....
