THE FAKIR'S FATE.
—
Tl ■ International Xews Service known over the continent
lor its capacities in the domain of unreliability and purposeful
mi-represeiitalions, has come to its finish in England.
It wi be remembered that some months ago an interesting
exposure was made, showing that it was faking sensational ar
iii New York city, placing them under European date
lines. sLning lake names and playing them up as wonderful
coi re-pomlents. then disseminating the tales as truthful news.
All this was completely uncovered to the raw. It was re
vealed that the coi respondents were wholly fictitious, that the '
stoin v ere i ode nf w hole cloth or pieced out sensationally
from t ii1 ban s) slmms of truth, and fed out to newspapers that
were careless or yellow enough to buy them.
Now the British official press bureau has barred the Inter
national .News Si rvicc from (Jreat Britain for lying again and
again. ' ('out iuued garbling” is 1 he charge, backed up with the
de-eioptions of one crooked episode aftei another.

An embargo on potatoes and wheat going to $2 a bushel,
perhaps, may warn the country that our plethoric prosperity is
costing us some real money.

Parting with the American dollar usually is a lingering and
solemn ceremonial.

d an ordinance to prohibit tin* delivery of wares on that

public pa , s the bill. It is not in righteousness the public’s bill
to pay.

T! e ministers cannot find a common ground for church

devil and a material bell, is the thing they have not decided'. It
might to he decided. A lot of people are looking for reliable
guide posts.
A contemporary remarks on the absence of a plank in the
Democratic platform expressing a heroic, fist-in bosom confi
deiiee in the administration for its handling of the Lusitania
horror. There also is a mysterious evasion of the Vera Fritz
Ira1, i1 And the whole business is so humiliating that even
tlie <• |>| <■ i i nl - ol t lie administration don’t like to mention it
above a whisper.
-;o:
I,astern bakers are petitioning the I’nited State's govern
nieiii to estop the export of grain, predicting higher bread
r i e i if i i isn’t done. There arleady is an embargo on potatoes,
hi es an going up with gazelle like leaps—beautiful and easy,
f astern restaurants are adding a nickel a dish to the price and
institution a seat charge. Verily, our prosperity, about which
smiii ol' tin orators are painting such attractive pictures, is -
coming high. A few are making great sums of money; the rest
of its art centributing.
-:o:
Chicago club women have pell mailed to antagonize an at
tempt niadi by opponents of nude art to drape the figure of tin*
“Turtle l.ady,” which is a picture of a feminine person wear
ine not so much as a handkerchief, watching a turtle. The
ns i lub women come forth in Amazonian array against “Nep
11 111bei Morn” as an outrage upon decency, their protest giving
to the pict are and many more much worse a very wide publicity,
i if w hat value is such opposition ? Certainly it has not reduced
the circulation of “sex appeal art.” Probably it has aroused
treble curiosity among those who most need protection and it
hasn’t in the least discouraged the artist. The bystander who
isii'1 particularly interested on the one side or the other often
wonders if it wouldn’t be the best thing in the world to strip
humaiiitv to a breech clout and at one smashing swoop rid the
world of something like fit) per cent of its extravagances and
troubles.
EVERY TOILET ACCESSORY
you can imagine is included in our
display of such specialties. For the
bathroom and dressing table we offer
a line of high grade articles such as
are used by refined people. You will
not find an unworthy or meretricious I
article In the entire display. They are
the "just right" kind, the sort we know
