WANTED — ORIGINAL WRITER Two Many Wielders of the Pen Pl,y On the Same String, Too Long for Comfort. WHat the world needs and what the world has ot is an original writer, some one who will give new phrases and new plots to stories, Long years ago Sherlock Holmes ran down a miscreant who had stolen plans for warshigs from the British govern- ment. Since then every writer on the face of the earth has used the idea, and at this minute the story is run- ning—the work of a nofed American— in which the sharp ones of the narra- tive are trying to run down the man or men who stole naval plans. Writ- ers all seem to play on the same string, When Coney Island opened the season nearly every newspaper in New York C};ty said the visitors ate name of France or its capital with the accusation of decadence or de- generation., ¥ The Paris of the foreign tourist will be a thing of the past after the war, The gay form of roystering gayety, the very thought of which shocked prudish persons the world over, is to be cleaned up forever. That Paris is to die with the war, Its demise wilk be all the easier since, as a matter of fact, it never really existed. . Paris, the great city of "light, of marvelous ,architecture, of art and beauty and manmy attractions which no other city can rival never in real- ity was anything but a serious city. The sinful notions regarding it had their origin largely in the imagina- tion of the foreign visitors, ignor- ant of the elementary facts regard- ing Paris, incapable of judging what their eyes beheld and unacquainted with the necessary variety ofi the modes of life of a great city. The idea wag fomented also by the works of certain French novelists, usually, however, in a vein of satire which was lost on the duller for- eigner. Paris, of course, had its uncon- ventional features, not because it was a Freneh city, but because, regarded as the most attractive resort in the entire world and the center of gov- ernment of a nation devoted to the most démocratic ideas and respect for the liberty of others, it has tol- erated “the growth of' amusement places of various kinds and of meth- ods of conduct which were allowed to pass on the apparent presumption that they were the native habits of the persons practicing them, In all this the French people had no concern and took but little inter- est. It has often’ been said that the wicked persons whom American tourists sat outside the cafes to watch were other Americans from the north or south of the hemisphere, or Rus- sians, Spaniards, Scandinavians or other foreigners. The French! themselves, a singu- larly serious and home and family loving peopte, could find no joy or which the foreign tourist seeemed to find to his liking in Paris.—New York amusement in the forms of pleasure World. .

Schneider is the name of the latest motor car alarm adopted by zard Lasher as he drives about Milford, Conn,, in his car. Schneider is & bird dog, black in color and very fond of motorin| It is never happier than when sil \‘g by its masters’ side in the car, its fore paws on the side door and its head protruding over the side $0 as to inhale the forty-mile ozone. Schneider is very ticklish—so much so that Mr. Lasher has discarded the usual horn alarm and leaves it to Schneider when to warn anyone from the road. ISchneider sits up perfectly quiet until Mr. Lasher pokes it first rib with his finger. That means for Schneider to give a little yelp, such as would make a. chicken or a duck hustle to one side of the road. A poke into the second rib brings forth a yowl which makes dogs and cats scatter. One 'in the third rib causes any human being who is walk- ing in the middle of a country road to be so alarmed that he or she thinks he or she is being pursued by a devil, and a tickle in Schneider's fiKh rib makes the dog laugh so boisterously that the driver of a flivver or like vehicle in front looks around quickly to see where the fun is, and then good-na- turedly turns _to the t to let Schneider and The car by.—~New York Herald, v that “they had a quiet wedding.” s a wedding ever noisy?
