A fracture of the skull and a wound which required six stiches were the results of Penar's strong arm work and both men were removed to the South Chicago police station, where the wounds were dressed and the men gave bonds for their appearance before the Judge of the municipal court. The fight was a bad one while it lasted, according to the stories. It Is alleged that shortly after 1 o'clock Polski entered the saloon and started to abuse the owner. A stronger interfered and was promptly knocked down for putting In. and as the intruder started to attack the proprietor, the latter drew a club and floored Polski. Officer Klien was notified of the
affair and both men were taken to the
station.

Every Night
By Louis Tracy Author of "The Wings of the Morning," "The Pillar of Light," etc. Illustrated by BERGER This, like many of the best stories you have ever read, begins with a boy. Philip Anson's mother, to whom he is devoted, dies in poverty leaving her boy of fifteen alone in the world. Just when he has determined to commit suicide he comes into the possession of diamonds of fabulous value in such a strange manner that they seem to be sent from heaven the gift of his mother. To secure his vast wealth in spite of enemies and the persecution of the law is a problem that would tax older and wiser heads. But the stars in their courses fought for Philip. His adventures in his new position make a story of extreme fascination even if a high bom little lady had not appeared to him in his poverty to fill his soul with a vision which he carried until it became a reality. We will not ask you to read this story. We are going to publish the first chapter m a few days. If you can refrain from reading Phmp'sPfoTLnne.yOU b6gUn yU WiU bC a greater wonder tha

The Times story about the proposed
widening of South Ilohman street caused no little stir among the property owners on that street today. It is now apparent to every one that the city will insist on the widening of the street but a hundred and one questions have been raised regarding the matter. Who Is going to pay for the moving or relaying of the hundreds of feel of cement walk that have already been rut in on this street? WiU the strtet when it Is repaved, be twisted around and made to run directly north and south? When the eighty feet width is utilized, in what manner will it be utilized? What will be the width of the road bed as compared with the grass plot on each side, or will the street be paved to its entire width. There Is little doubt that the widening of the street would be a big improvement but the expense 111 be veryj

Funeral March for Heroic
Dead Has Meaning Beyond Mere Honor to the Fallen.
E
VERY year, in the full tide of
spring, at the height of the sym
phony of flowers and love and
life, there comes a solemn pause, and through the silence the nation hears the lonely pipe of death. Year after year lovers wandering
under the apple boughs and through the clover are surprised with sudden tears as they see black-veiled figures stealing through the morning to a soldier's grave.
Year by year the comrades of the
dead follow, with public honor, pro
cession and commemorative flas and funeral march tribute from us who have inherited a nation's glory to the heroes who gave it
As surely as tWs day comes round
we are in the presence of the dead.
But not all the associations of this day are sad; some of them are tri
umphant, even joyful.
We seem to hear the funeral march
become a pean. Our heroic dead still live for us, and bid us think of life, not death of life to which In their
youth they lent the passion and glory of the spring.
Memorial day may and ought to
have a meaning beyond mere honor ta the dead. It celebrates and solemnly re-affirms from year to year a national act of enthusiasm and taith. It en bodies In the most Impressive form our belief that to act with enthusiasm and faith is the condition of acting greatly. To fight out a war men must believe something and want something with all their might. So must they da to carry out anything else to an end worth reaching. ' Peace calls for its patriotic devo tion, no less than war. And, stripped of the direct associations which gava rise to It, this is a day when by conf mon consent we pause to become col s clous of our national honor and to rt Jolce in it, to recall what our country has done and Is dcing for us, and td ask ourselves what we can do for ou country in return. The great French soldier, de Latou d'Auvergne, was the hero of many lat ties, but remained by his own choica in the ranks. Napoleon gave him a sword and the ofncial title "The- First Grenadier of France." When he was
killed the emperor ordered that hla
heart should be entrusted to his regl ment that his name should be called
at every roll call and that his next comrade should answer, "Dead upoa
the field of honor!" In the keeping ol
thi3 nation are the hearts of maayt heroes; we treasure them in conse
crated ground, and when their names
are called we answer In flowers, "Deadl
upon the field of honor." j

Multitudes Gather to Aid
Veterans Decorate Graves in Beautiful Arlington Cemetery.
THE Coliseum in the national cemetery at Arlington, in which . people gather annually for the exercises, 13 indescribably beautiful; The space is sorrounded by columns, a light lattice work forming the roof. Eestde the columns have been planted ; wistaria, roses, clematis and other eaily Cowering vines, which form a perict bower overhead, while the majestic trees make ample shade for the multitude who come to Join in the labor of love. The thousands of ex-union oScers and soldiers who have died during the 33 years since the first Decoration
day, and the hundreds that have fain en since the Spanish-American warg and whose bodies have been bornd across the sea to be buried in Arling ton. have made thl3 the largest city o( patriotic dead on the globe. This SOty of May, liko all others, will see ever low green mound cf the extensive field, covered with Cowers and immortelles There will be a repetition of the an nual ceremonies, with probably addirfl tlonal interesting features. Alas! the column of ex-union sofr diers does not present a long line, and the few who participate are for th most part bowed with cgc and in, creased disability whkh time h&4 wrought. Ttie patriotic organizations, sacs an4 daughters of veterans, and the loyal people have taken up the vorS which older hands have had to la down. The spirit of gratitude and de Totion to the memory of the country' defenders inspires the whole naticd to-day as it did in lSfiS 1
