NO PIE, NO CUSTOMERS.

, End of the Model Restaurant for Nowafl
. Factory Hands.

The model restaurant which the
Clark Thread Company started directly
Opposite their mills at Clark and Ogden
streets, Newark, N. J ., last October.
has been closed. It was open just as
long as there was a man or girl to pa-
tronizeit. When the handful who had
remained true to wholesome food, long
after the advocates of cake and pie had
gone back to their first love, deserted
the place, those behind the enterprise
made up their minds that it would
mean a waste of money to go further,
and they shut the establishment. One
girl purchased a seven cent bowl of
soup from the counter piled with
steaming urns, on the last day the res-
taurant was open, and then she went
across the road to the baker’s and
bought a chocolate eclaire for three
cents. That was the final blow, and it
will be many years before the Clarke
will make another attempt to win their
gylplgyes away from the piles of E9 and
cake with which the neigh oring ers
fill their windows.

The history of the Clark model res-
taurant contains an object lesson for
persons who think that the working
girls can be won away from the pie and
cake habit.

Early last fall the idea of starting the
model restaurant occurred to the
Clerks. For years the bakeries in the
neighborhood, and there were more
than a dozen of them, had enjoyed a
monopoly of the luncheon business. As
soon as the noonday whistle blew, the
girls would drop their work and hurry
out to the bakeries, where they would
load themselves with all sorts of pie
and cake, lug them back. to the factory
and there eat them with what plain
food, such as sandwiches, they had
brought from home. The Clark mills
employ several hundred girls and men,
and the pie business had grown .to
enormous proportions when ‘the Clarks
concluded that the time had come to
break it up.

It was so prevalent that the bakers
could [not cook enough stufl.’ on their
own premises over night to supply the
demand, and wagon loads of pie and
cake were brought out from the busi-
ness section each day and unloaded on
the bakers. Mr. Clark made a tour of
these bakeries one day to see what sort
of food his employees were getting.
The rows and rows of thin pies, and the
shelves of cream puffs, eclairs, and
other creations, so disgusted him, that

he resolved then and there to make a 3

change. Then came the idea of the
model restaurant. Mr. Clark knew
that most of the” girls in the factory
lived so far from it that , to go home to
dinner in the limited time allowed
them would be impossible. He knew
that most of the girls brought light
lunches with them and that each was
in the habit of spending in dessert each
day anywhere from five to twenty
cents. It was this little spending money
which Mr. Clark resolved to divert into
other channels by establishing a restau-
rant fo'r wholesome food without pastry,
and which effort proved a. dismal fail-
ure. Mr. Clark now knows that the
average girl likes pie and pickles.

RUINED BY A STRIKE.

The Plight of a Labor-ing Man Who at One
Time Had a Salary of $8,000 a Year.

The story of Richard Resse, the
counterfeiter who. was arrested near
Los Angeles recently, is a. tragic ex
ample of the mutability of human af-
fairs. Reese has seen but two-years
less than half a century of life. His
training was that of a mechanic. He is
not a man skilful with hands alone, but
one who works with both hands and
brain. When U. S. Grant was running
for President years ago, there was a
big political celebration in Chicago.
Grant was there, and Reese rode in his
carriage as a representative of the la-
boring classes, proclaimed by his fel-
lows the most skilful mechanic in all
America.

As the years went by the man’s repu-
tation grew and increased. At last he,
obtained a place in one of the great
shops at Homestead, Pa. Eventually
he rose to be a foreman, with a. salary
of $8, 000 a. year. Then came the great
Homestead strikes, which brought ruin
and death to so many men. Reese was
infected with the labor doctrines then
prevailing. When the struggle was
over Reese was a ruined man. His
place was lost, and a reputation estab-
lished as a. man who could not be relied
on in a strike.

Reese came to California. He came
to Los Angeles some months ago’ ex-
pecting to obtain a. position as foreman
of the rolling mill. There was some
bitch, and in consequence Reese obtain»
ed only a subordinate position. He was
not content with this. There was a
dispute, and Reese’s connection with the
mill ended.

Reese got very poor indeed, and pov-
erty drove him to crime. He put his
skill as 'a. mechanic to the evil use of
making bogus money. He declares he
has been engaged in the nefarious
businessbut a. few months, meaning to
save enough money to buy a little home
for himself and to get another start.
That accomplished, he had vowed to
live an honest life again.

 

Wanted to See it Work.

“Let me take the blamed thing

It is human nature to rejoice when 3

served .the more will the lockers-on re-
joice at the guilty man’s discomforture.
A case in point occurred at the custom
house at one of the port of entry on the
Great Lakes. '

' The inspectors were very courteous,
and had been making only superficial
examinations of the trunks and bags of
the passengers, all but one of whom ape
preciated this leniency enough to render
the inspectors all possible aid in their
work. The exception was a young En-
glishman, dressed in the height of
fashion, who seemed to regard the in-
spectors as personal enemies.

When his turn came, the inspector
Said:

“Have you a trunk, sir?”

“That’s my trunk,” he answered
shortly. .

“Will you kindly open it?”

“Open it yourself 1” As he spoke he
threw his keys down on top of the trunk
and looked at the inspector with a most
insulting expression.

The inspector said never a word, but
in ominous silence picked up the keys.
opened the trunk and began to examine
its contents. Beginning with the tray
he [went straight through the trunk,
taking out and opening everything he
found. He unrolled and separated
every pair of socks, unfolded every
piece of underwear, and shook out and
explored the pockets of the neatly fold-
ed coats and trousers. When he had
completely emptied the trunk, he check-
ed it and moved on to the next, leaving
the dude’s entire wardrobe in a heap on
the floor.

The dude stood looking doubtfully at
him for a moment, and then exclaimed:

“Here, you, who’s going to put these
things back?”

“Put ’em back yourself 1” answered
the inspector, without looking around.
This the foolish fellow had to do, while
the crowd laughed.

Miners as Mail Carriers.

A free delivery system is in vogue in
the miiiing districts of the Rocky moun—
tains, though the postal authorities
have nothing to do with it. From every
mountain, post office trails diverge up
every draw and gulch. A miner set-
ting out for his cabin, perched some.
where far up on a. mountain, will take
with him all the mail belonging to his
neighbors, though they may live miles
from his place. '

At each turning point a small box
will be found nailed securely to the
trunk of a. stout old pine tree, and upon
this box is scrawled the names of all
the miners who must pass that tree in
going to their respective cabins. Into
this box the last man from town depos-
its all the mail belonging to miners liv-
ing up that particular gulch.

From that gulch a miner will occa-
sionally descend for mail, and as he re-
turns to his trail he deposits in turn
the several pieces of mail in other boxes
placed at convenient points. In this
way one man can save many a weary
step to the other miners who live out
the long winters in the very heart of
the Rocky mountains. Small errands
are done in a similar manner. I

Avoided Poisonous Water.

The Los Angeles. Times says an in-
stance of the intelligence of bees
amounting almost to reasoning is re«
lated by a mining man, Malcom Mc-
Leish. He is engaged at an abandoned
mine in this county cyaniding the old
tailings, the plant including several
tanks of waters strongly impregnated
with cyanide of potassium. ,

On the beginning of operations, bees
of swarms that had left the valley,
came in from the mountains to drink.
For three days they died by thousand of
the water in the tanks. There was one
tank of fresh water. however, that was
untainted. After three days the bees.
continued to come in large numbers,
but they all avoided the cyanide tanks.
Not one would go there, and. of course,
no more died. Their dead comrades
proved a lesson, and thus they scored
another on the intelligence of bees.

The Value of Apples.

The apple is such a. common fruit that
very few persons are familiar with its
remarkably few efficacious medicinal
properties. Everybody ought to know
that the very best thing they can do is
to eat apples just before retiring for the
night. Persons unitiated in the myster-
ies of the fruit are liable to throw up
their hands in horror at the visions of

dyspepsia which such a suggestion may

summon up, but no harm can come even

. toa delicate system by the eating of

ripe and juicy apples just before going
to bed. ~

The apple is excellent brain food, be-
cause it has more phosphoric acid in
e sily digested shape than other fruits.
I excites the action of the liver, pro-
motes sound and healthy sleep and
thoroughly disinfects‘the mouth. This
is not all. The apple helps the kidney,
secretions and prevents
growths, while it obviates indigestion
and is one of the best known preventa~
tives of diseases of the throat. Every.
body should be familiar with such
knowledge,——Bulletin of Pharmacy.

The First Occasion.

I The caution of the Absrdonian in giv-
ing an answer to a direct question was
well illustrated the other day, when I
asked an Eastern friend of mine, whose
family were not noted for very active
habits: '

“Was not your father’s death very
sudden?” , ‘

Slowly drawing one hand from his
pocket, and pulling down his heard, the
interrogated one cautiously replied:

“Ay, it was unco’ sudden for him, I
ne’er kent 0’ ma fayther bein‘ in a hur-
ry before.’-’-'—Tit- Bits. ‘

SELECTING A PROFESSION.
The Scheme Adopted by a Scotchmsn
' to Test His Son.

A Scotchman who wanted to learn
what profession he would h‘ave his can
enter put him into a. room with a theo-
logical work, an apple and a sixpenny
piece. If he found him, when ,he re-
turned, reading the book, he intended
to make a. clergyman of him; if eating
the apple, a farmer, and if interested in
the money, a banker.

When he did return he found the boy

 
 

 

- sitting on the book, with the sixpence'in

his pocket and the apple almost de-
vOured. , .

“That settles it,” said the keen
Scotchman, “the lad’s a born lawyer, I
can easily see.”

 

The Pleasures of Romance.

Life would be nothing without its
illusions. Destroy the halo of senti-
ment and happiness ceases to exist.
Were there more of romance in the
make-up of the average man, the world
would be better and nobler, for when
defined, romance is that exquisite poet-
ry that imparts to everyday happenings
something above the ordinary, some-
thing that is beautiful in the truest
sense of that word. Mawkish senti-
mentality, however, arouses only can-
tempt and makes its possessor appear
feeble of mind and dwarfed in the best
of worldly knowledge. Therefore many
persons, fearing to be regarded as weak
and silly, endeavor to repress their real
feelings and build up about themselves
a wall of reserve, endeavoring to stifle
all emotion, lest the world should think
them weakly sentimental. They are
ashamed to show that they do feel, and
little by little close their hearts to the
atmosphere of romance hovering over
even the most prosaic duties of life and
become callous and indifferent. It need
not be an ideal world, this one where
romance and sympathy grow to the
fullest fruition. Look at life in its long
perspective, watching the variety of its
light and-shade, but keep up the enthu-
siaSm of youth, do not let the poetry
die out of your soul, and wherever
rugged reality can be turned into ten-
der romance, do so, for life in this way
is made better and higher, and far more
worth the living.

A few years ago nearly all newspapers
published, at this season, recipes for summer
complaints. Now such items are seldom
met with. Publishers have learned that
there is nothing quite as good as Chamber-
lain’s Colic, Cholera and Diarrlioza Remedy
for these diseases and as it is in general use
everywhere they have quit publishing these
recipes. No one having a bottle of the
remedy in the house need fear an attack of
bowel complaint. It can always be depended
upon and is pleasant and safe. For sale by
