Feel how strange it is—even as the people of Jersey City have. And then feel the joy of clearing your mind of a mystery — the pure joy of | seeing through a thing—of | understanding. Fagan, for a plain man, did his job marvellously well— | so well that men wondered at him. There lay the mys- | tery. The solution lay in finding Fagan’s reason. And the reason— though beauti- to look upon—is, after all, a2 plain man’s reason— the simplest and best reason | in the world. Perhaps when you have felt the mystery, and got the solution, you will think that plain men with plain reasons can do a great deal for their country. This is one of the best things Lincoln Steffens ever wrote. | | | All News stands, 10c, $1 a year | McClure’s Magazine ; { 44-60 East 23d Street, NEW YORK A POPULAR LAMENT. | Wihere Would Soclety Be If One Was | Judxed for the Sins of Others { one of those hair tonics d it never did me a bit s whét many people are saying when they refuse Herpicide a | the MONNA VANNA —b wisdom of the old man.

In the course of s the carpenter paused in his hungry flight. His eye caught a bill of fare posted on the window of the chop- house of one George Spero at 8 Hayes street. Perusing the contents of the score card, Wilson observed, “Eggs 20 with coffee.”” “Eureka,” quoth the penter, “‘at'last I eat.” Wilson sauntered into Spero’s establish- ment and flopped into a wooden chair with the air of one possessed of the “filth Adam and Eve in midocean; ole his trav sunnyside .
