For instance, in ten leading American cities, Includ- ing New York of course, over $2,750,000 was distributed to individuals and thelr familles In the year that closed on June 30 last as com- pensation for the killing and maiming done on their street-railroad track: Of this vast total of damages almost exactly two-thirds was paid out by the trolley and trac- tion companies of Greater New York.

Two cases of men suing thelr former “best girls” for the value of presents given before thelr love grew cold are reported in one day's news. In one case Mr. Morris Dickman hopes to recover $300, which he deciares he spent in the expectation of marrying Miss Regina Ehren- freund, who later jilted him. In the othe Mr. Charles J. Hackett asks the courts tv com- pel Miss Mary Corcoran to deliver to him a piano which he gave to her when he was dis- posed to make her Mra. Hackett, and ing married the other girl, thinks she ought to re- turn it. Observe that in the first case the girl jilted the man, while in the second the man Jilted the girl; yet the men are agreed that they ought to be repaid the expenses they were put to in wooing. What a cold, calculating, mercenary, do!lar- doting world it is getting to be when even men in love keep tab on their gifts, temize their payments for ice-cream, theatre tickets and car- fares, and go to law to recover them if they don't “pull off" the marriage! pase xi THE T And swooned when there her true knight chanced to die.
