As between Lyman J. Gago, sixty years old and chafing at the brief period of enforced idleness following his retirement from the Cabinet and eager to “get back {nto the traces,” and Wi atxty, but preparing to retire from active business—which is the wi man, the sounder philosopher? Tt fs not to be supposed that Mr. Whitne he gives up participation {n business affairs His racing stable, in which he has $1,000,000 invested, his society interests here #14 town and country houses, are suMetant [n themselves to keep most of his time congenially employed. In building up a greet fortune he has not worked with tho single purpose of accumuinting money He has lived « many-eided Iffe, and interested himself in most of the things thnt con cern men. He {s thum at aixty, provided with atsindant resources for enjoyment of » higher kind than that which monay-getting gives and ts ready to begin the last stages, sometimes the best, of a busy career with the serene and complacent appreciation of wealth which good health brings.

The telegraphic ¢espatches about Bridle have furnished a peychologt cal study of a lover such as a novelist might aspire but despair to por tray. They have revenied a burglar and murderer, a “bad man’ gener ally, in @ romantic role that readily explains the fascination he exerte! over women, and makes it credible why « sentimental girl Itke Jessie Bodine snd a mature woman with husband and children. !lke Mrs, Soffel * written should each regard the eacrifice of honor as a slight low for the gain of | hts compantonship ‘The new train between Parts and Calals, which covers 18444 miler in three hours, is probably the fastest in the world [It beats Engiand long-run fast trains, like the “Flying Scotaman.” and quite outelasses our | numerous “limited” flyers Just now, however, we are more concerned with safety than with speed.
