THE D All 1 FACE FOUR The Fifty 0% | mrs OF F | cen {Copyright.) Any Saturday afterncon ia the year you will find some hundreds of thew. | sands of wives In New York city with | thei: hair done up, their going-down- j town shoes om, a severe and waiting expression upoa their countenances {and a wrist-bag suffering from com | plete emptiness. They are waiting for their hundreds (of thousands of husbands to come home from the office and hand ever | without comment a sufficient' ameunt of money to relieve the wrist-bags of their paucity. Mr. James Joseph Sidell did not puil down 350 a week, but through the | kindly help of a delayed expense bill, | the cashier at Wormer & Mulreavy's | broke the glad news. "You've got something extras this week, Stdell" he announced, handing over the envelope. "That expense ac | count of yours has come through with | the official O.X." . "Would you mind changing the fifty into tena?" sald Sideil placatingly, "I'll need small money before night." | "There isn't another drop of money in the building," answered the cash- | ler. "You can stop in somewhere and get It changed." Bidell stopped in the billingroom | { long eneugh to flash the fifty and 3 | dazzle O'Rourke. Then he inserted | the folded bill in kis waistcoat pocket, and O'Rourke amused several clerks i by skilifully extracting it and substi- | | tuting in its place a menial and lowly | | fivedollar note. i {| At the moment O'Rourke changed i | bills with Sideli, Mrs. Olive Sidell' | ceased curling her hair on the sixth | | floor of the apartment at the corner | Of 140th street and Amsterdam ave | | Bue and began to compute time, Mrs. Olive Sidell was going down- | "THE CLUB' 112 Princess St. i i town, and on the dining-room table lay | a slip of yellow paper on which was | | written the names of seventeen an | | ticles she wished to purchase. i er. | "I need exactly eleven dollars and | Dineteen cents," sald Mrs. Sidell cheer | fully. James Joseph kmew that Olive was | Who Said Dyspepsia ? waiting, He hurried out of the office | | and turned into the tawdry add wul- | gar place on the corner. | "Give me a lemon and Seltzer," he | sald virtuously. : The gentleman in ermine behind the mahogany placed the drink before him with a hard thought in his mind. "Can you change a fifty-dellar bill?" inquired Mr. Sidell casually. | { "Do you think this is a bank?" re- | torted the man, looking at James Jo seph peevishly, "I thought you might have it" said James. "I haven't," said the man. Mr. Sidell laid a nickel on the coun- ter. He had borrowed $2 from O'Rourke during the morning, and was relieved to find most of it in his pocket | in the shape of small change. He left the place In a slightly un- pleasant frame of mind, and wandered toward the subway, slowly and halt ingly, but with a gemeral notion of getting into a train. | "There's no sense in taking home a fitty-dollar. bUL" he reflected. "Olive doesn't need it and she can't change it, and, besides, it's too much to hand td a woman who is going downtown on a shopping tour. I must break this bin."

"In view of the fact that the Military Service | ment has practically made every able- bodied man an ex-service man, we anticipate a large percentage of such men anxious fo take advantage of the provisions of the aet, which offers landing in Canada," said Col. Smith. "With a view to ensuring that only such men as are likely to succeed as settlers on the land are selected, a Special qualifying committee of farmers will be appoined by the Min- istry of Colonization and Emigration, and will arrive in England shortly for that purpose. 'Generally speaking, the condi- tions of settlement for such men Veterans except that they will be re- quired to put down 20 per cent. in- stead of 10 per cent. of the purchase price of their land."
