Chicago, Dec. 28.—In a cold wave
which approached the proportion*
of a blizzard today, two wom
en met death, a man was al
most fror.cn to death, seven other
men. were. imperiled on r the lake and
thousands met their first real suffering

THE PATIENCE OF MAN
By FRANCIS L. GARSIDE.
When a woman walk* the floor hour
after hour with a crying ehlld, and
nt-ver murmurs, the people say, "Ah!
how marvellous the pdtlence of wom
an!"
And then, for the reason that It Is
htinmn nature to follow every compli
ment to woman with a comparison dis
paraging to man, they add, “No man
was ever as patient as that!”
Perhaps not. At least not with
ha by that cries, neither does a man
ktmw what superhuman patience of a
woman that ytll lead hereto spend
• very spare moment for six weeks or
ten months In putting fine little stitch
es on a quilt or a table cover.
Man has a patience that Is seldom
eredlted for the reason that It Is not
always exercised at home.
Ills patience Is used during the day
In his pusult of the dollar, and etich
demands are made on It that It Is fre
quently exhausted by night time.
This scene was recently enacted In a
yroeery store: Five customers waited
In the store; every clerk was busy, and
the proprietor stood outside' showing
a woman some fresh fruit.

The
Evening
Newspaper
A canvass of 135 department stores in cities
of more than 75,000 population elicited from
102 the unequivocal opinion that the evening
newspaper is a better advertising medium
than the newspaper published in the morning.
The reason is plain to see.
Six days of every week the morning paper
is read by people on their way to their offices,
and either left in the street car or tossed to
one side in the office. The evening paper is
carried home. The family reads it. Its con
tents are likely to be the subject of dinner-
table discussion. When her day’s household
labor is ended, the wife sits down with the
evening paper to read the news and search ’
the advertisements for bargains.
The morning paper is a sort of casual caller.
The evening paper is a visitor, a friend, coun
selor and companion. Its influence is far
stronger with its readers than the influence
of the hastily-scanned morning paper. That
is why it produces so much better results for
the advertiser.
