This annoyed the boys, who began throwing sticks and stones. Men joined the boys in the attack. A stone struck Mrs. Gotshall on the temple, knocking her un- sonscious. She may very possibly die from her injury. ~ This comes as the climax to a series of such crimes, which have of late been growing more and more frequent. The automobile is distinctly disliked by the great majority of the people. By some it is bitterly hated. This resentment has been caused by the illegal reck- lessness of a few chauffeurs. It is a reasonable resent- ment, but it should not blind the public judgment to the cowardly viciousness of this new form of felony. The spirit of fairness should make it clear that it fs just as criminal to throw a stone at a man riding in «am automobile as at a man riding on a truck; at a woman in an automobile as at a woman in a cable car; at a child in an automobile as at a child in a baby tarriage. The mere fact that automobiles are unpopular does make the crime less criminal. \ Furthermore, these attacks do not come from men ‘The greater numter of the women) { upon whom the burden of religious ob- servance rests shoulder it cheertully and form at leaat three-fourths of our Sunday congregations, But in the large | cities, and especlally in New York, there {9 an annually increasing number of non-churchgoing women, and thetr ex- Istence suggests the query as to way women don't go to eburch. A hundred yeurs ago practically all conrervative, one may even aay all re- spectable, women went to church. Aside from any religious feeling they may have had, it was an essential part cf] { thelr conservatiam, their respectability, to do #0.

WHAT WIC HE GET WHEN HE GETS Home’ claimed that if he had a million he would rent a room at the Waldorf-Astoria and hire a boy to call him to go to work at 6 o'clock every morning so he could have the pleasure of calling the boy a liar. He overlooked one point. A man who had been nsed to hard work all his life would be in-misery {f he had so much money that he could loaf. “There are some things I'd like to do if I had a mill- jon dollars, I'd like to give part of it to a man to invent a pocketbsok for women that they couldn't lose money from. I'd like to found a college to teach people who work in laundries how to iron shirts and dollars. I'd like to emulate Carnegie and present a moving-picture ma- chine to every blind asylum in the United States. I'd like to establish a fund the interest of which should be deveted to the purchase of watermelons for the foundling asylums the year round. If I had a million dollars I would spend it all in looking up the man who first put a piece of lemon peel in a Scotch highball and assassin- ating him.” “It ought to be hard to get rid of a million,” sald the Cigar Store Man. “If 1 wanted to get rid of a million fn a hurry, nounced the Man Higher Up, “I'd start a business, hire a lot of college graduates and pay them what they thought they were worth.” MRS.
