I HA MIL TON'S m Smart Shop B 216 Main Street ; I J The English room, all heavy crimson and gold, with spreading palms lifted high in round green tubs. The electric lights in twos and threes and hun dreds, made into festoons and spirals and arabesques, a maze ond magic of bright- per sistent radiance. The people sitting in corners by twos and threes, and cooing together under tne glare. The long rows of silent people in chairs, watch ing with eyes that see not while the patient band tangles the air with music. The bell-boys marching in with cards, and shout ing names over and over into ears that do not heed. The stout and gorgeous dowagers in lacy white and lilac, bedizened with many jewels, with smart little scarlet or azure hats on their gray-streaked hair. The business men in trim and spotless suits, who walk in and out with eager steps or sit at the desks and tables, or watch the shining women. The telephone girls forever listening to far voices, with the silver band over their hair and the little black caps obliterating their ears. The telegraph tickers sounding their perpetual chit-chit-chit from the uttermost ends of the earth. The waiters, in black swallow-taixs and white aprons, passing here and there with trays of bottles and glasses. The quiet and sumptuous bar-room, with purplish men softly drinking in little alcoves, while the barkeeper, mixing bright liquors, is rap idly plying his bottles. The great bedecked and gilded cafe, with its glitter of a thousand mirrors, with its little white tables bearing gluttonous dishes whereto bright forks, held by pampered hands, flicker daintily back and forth. The white-tiled, immaculate kitchen, with many little round blue fires, where white-clad cooks are making spiced and flavored dishes. The cool cellars filled with meats and fruits, or layered with sealed and bottled wines mel lowing softly In the darkness. The Invisible stories of furnaces and machines, burrowing deep down into tho earth, where grimy workmen are heavily laboring. The many-windowed stories of little homes and shelters and sleeping-places, reaching up into the night like some miraculous, high-piled honeycomb of wax-white cells. The clothes inside of the cells the stuffs, the silks, the laces; the elaborate delicate dis guises that wait in trunks and drawers and closets, or bedrape and conceal human flesh. The people inside of the clothes, the bodies white and young, bodies fat and bulging, bodies wrinkled and wan, all alike veiled by fine fabrics, sheltered by walls and roofs, shut in from the sun and stars. The souls inside of the bodies the naked souls; souls weazen and weak, or proud and brave; all imprisoned in flesh, wrapped in woven stuffs, enclosed in thick and painted ma sonry, shut away with many shadows from the shining truth. God inside of the souls, God veiled and wrapped and imprisoned and shadowed in fold on fold of flesh and fabrics and mockeries; but ever alive, struggling and rising again, seek ing the light, freeing the world. From the "Atlantic." "POSTPONED PROSPERITY WORSE THAN THE ITCH." That Is What Uncle Ike Says. Dear Editor: Do you know when we are going to get Pros perity? I didn't care so much about it when I had a job, but I lost my job last week, and being without a job or Prosperity either, makes" a fel low kind of sore. I don't know much about Prosperity myself, but Uncle Ike says it is Prosperity when a man can make a living and be out of jail at one and the same time. Uncle Ike don't look like much, and he chaws tobacco, but he knows all about lots of things. I asked him when we was going to get Prosperity, and he said to ask the editors. He reads a paper every day. EXTRA SPECIAL COLONIAL The Theatre Beautiful Week Commencing Sunday, April 25; Matinees Thursday and Saturday Wm. P.
