Not all Gone to Smash.

“The times” have certainly been
hard enough, but'perhaps they haven’t
been quite as hard as those. who have
felt their hardness have felt that they
have been. The record made by Brad-
street’s showing the business failures
throughout the United States during
the last three years is interesting and
encouraging. It appears :that a little
over seventy-one per cent. of theggfail-
ures are in wholesale and retail com-
mercial enterprises and-na little less
than twenty-one per cent. in manufac-
turing and industrial lines. The pro-
portion of failures has been greatest in
the clothing and furnishing goods con-
cerns, and the next highest commercial
death rate has been of late among bi-
Of

every hundred engaged in the cloth-

cycle manufacturers and dealers.

ing and furnishing goods trade last
year seven went into bankruptcy, and
of every hundred in the bicycle busi-

ness five came to the same plight.
The lowest rate was among manufac-

turers of machinery and tools—eighty-
nine hundredths of one per cent. The
average commercial death rate in all
lines last year was 1.40 per cent., which
means that, notwithstanding the hard
times. fewer than one and a half out of
every hundred persons engaged in bus-
iness failed.

This indicates that the business men
of this country are doing business on
sound principles, and that they are not
in such desperate conditions as the
“calamity howlers ” say they
They are gaining in confidence now,

are}

and soon they will gain in profits.

Leave-somebody on Guard.

This is the season when a great many

people clOse their housés and leave
town for thesummer} and the profes-_
sional burglars do an; unusual amount
of prowling about to pick out the houses
which careless tenants have left in the
charge of nobody. These houses once
selected, the thieveshave all summer
before them in which to burglarize
them one after another and dispose of
their booty through the pawn-shops
and elsewhere.
A band of enterprising thieves can do
a big stroke of work in the three sum-
mer months, and take a vacation them-
selves to parts unknown before house-
holders return to discover that their
houses have been robbed.

, Attention is called to the habits of
the summer burglar thus early in order
to suggest that those who go away for
the summer should charge somebody
with the duty of looking after their va-
cant homes. The thieves who are
prowling about watching the desired
houses soon learn which of the houses
in a given neighborhood are in charge
of somebody and which are left entire-
ly unwatched. While veteran cracks-
men will 'take a good many risks to
loot a house which they have reason to
think is especially rich in plunder, they
usually prefer to rob houses that are
the least guarded and in which there
is the best prospect of getting off With-

' out encountering anybody. The de-

serted houses in charge of nobody are
the houses they are especially looking
for.

The next door neighbor who doesn’t
go out of town, the policeman, on the
night beat, a private watchman employ-
ed by the joint contributions of the
tenants of an entire square or a per-
sonal friend with an obliging disposi-
tion can be left in charge of the vacant
house when the tenants take their sums
Iner outing with a fair prospect that
house and contents will be found intact
on their return. The expense involved
in this sensible precaution will be
slight in comparison with the loss that
would result from a burglar’s raid. No
considerate householder will leave
town for the summer without providing
in advance for the protection of the
house left vacant. Those who return
in the autumn to houses that have been
ransacked and stripped of all valuables
will have only themselves to blame.

FEMININE CHAT.

A skirt that bags well and a shirt
waist made by a tailor combine correct-
ly, according to the summer girl’s no-
tion. I

The woman who goes about with her
hair in curl papers has no reason for
wondering why her husband wants a
divorce.

There is one thing certain, the Bird
of Paradise plume has not yet reached
a price that will permit of its getting
common. . .M

To feel a sense of utter helplessness
one has only to lose their bicycle ped—
als going down hill and discover when
too late- that the brake won’t work.
What happens next cannot be recorded
in a few brief lines.

The cool day is not the one you should
select for head washing unless you are
especially sure of getting your hair
dry.

The long frock is ‘undeniably graces
ful, but it means larger laundry bills
and an unprecedented chumminess
With the bath tub. '

Some days life seems too hard to be
borne and in twenty-four hours perhaps
the sun comes out and we think this
world a very pleasant place in which
to live.

To lose a penny seems the merest
trifle, but when you have only four
cents on a street car it looms into giant
proportions.

How few calendars owned ever record
the date correctly; that is, if they de-
pend on fair fingers to keep tally.

Why is it when a woman falls from'a
wheel she always hurts her face, while
a man rarely if ever gets ascratch save
on his body.

Those women who dote on violet

shirt waists will find that their pre-
ferred color is the very meanest one to
stand soap and water. I
The sound of coal being put into cel-
lars these days gets one rather con-
fused as to the season, a fact further
borne out by the general prevalence of
overcoats.
The woman who desires to create a
good impression doesn’t monopolize
the conversation even though she con-
siders what she has to say of ever so
much greater interest than the talk
going on about her.
