It is to be regretted that the parallel cannot be continued farther. TWO BRADYS., Mr. Nicholas F. Brady fs the son of Anthony N. Brady, well known to public execration through his Brooklyn street railroads. Nicholas F. Brady has a tender spot in his heart. It grieved him to watch the fate of the old fire-engine horses after their days of use to the city are over and they are sold at auction to the truckmen <nd hucksters who can get a few more months’ work out of them. Mr. Nicholas F, Brady has bought a number of these old fire horses and has turned them out on a farm where they can spend the remaining years of their lives in equine luxury. This is a nice thing for Mr. Nicholas F. Brady to do and he deserves credit for his efforts to ameliorate the condition of dumb animals in their old age. If Anthony N. Brady would only manifest a little of the same con- sideration for the people of Brooklyn and the employees of his B. R. T. as his son does for old Fire Department horses there would not be the same bitter public feeling against him and his corporation. Is it that a B. R. T. motorman or conductor or the ordinary Brooklynite is not worthy of the same consideration as a Fire Department horse, or that Nicholas, the son, has instincts of tenderness and sympathy which were not inher- ited from Anthony, the father? A PICKPOCKET’S MISTAKE, Whoever took former Judge Goldfogle’s watch must have done it in ignorance of the name and position of the owner. Pickpockets are not allowed to appropriate the personal property of Aldermen, Assemblymen and higher officials. Where such a thing has been done the restoration of the stolen property and prompt apology are always expected. If people of political power and prominence were more often the victims the police system would speedily be reformed. It is well understood in the criminal clrcles versed in police etiquette that flat robberies must be confined to ordinary people who have no “pull,” that clubmen must be unmolested, as they have powerful political acquaintances, and that men of power are not only entitled to keep all their own property, but to exploit the property of the multitude, The Fagin schools which teach the boys of the east side to pick pockets should make collections of the photographs-of all prominent poli- ticians and have the pupils learn their features, or the police may take it into their head to interfere with this scholastic industry. The Tammany Association of the Eighth Assembly District cele- brated the Fourth of July with an automobile excursion. The automo- biles paraded through the district that the Bowery public might see the grandeur of the occasion. Timothy P. Sullivan’s legal status has been recognized by the court.

X By Nixola Greeley-Smith. AN a woman love more than one man? And if 80, how many and how much? Engaged young women, and those with hopes, are here- with distinctly barred from this discussion, For, of course, we know that they know 4 woman can only love one man forever and ever. But considered in the light of cold reason, how many? 1 should eay one and a halt. That is, she may love one man, wholly, helplessiy, and yet be half in love with another. ‘There is a venerable proverb concerning putting all one’s holdings in eggs in one basket; there fs a Prejudice among the prudent against putting ail one’s money on one horse, and there is likewise among the more sophisticated of the sex called by courtesy fair a distinct disinclination to centre all their affections on one man. 66 “It ought to be apparent by this time,” Much as we may want to feo! that the lua idol of our souls is the only man we have ever loved, or will love, the Instinct of self-preserva- tion prevents us, There were deceivers ever, and ever will be. Therefore it behooves the wise virgin who nas! been foolish enough to fall in love with one mau to guard against his possible defection by keeping another in cold storage to fill the possible void. There is no doubt that all her instincts will be against this. for woman, even with the example of, her inconstant mate before her, is as yet imper- fectly polyandrous, Of course, seriously speaking, it is only possfble to love one person, be we man or woman, accept- ing love in its real meaning and separating it from infatuation, with which we not infrequently confound it. Love is respectful of its object and self-respect- ing, and infatuation is neither. Infatuation may become love, and love may degenerate to infatu- ation. Men tell us that it ‘e possible to love one woman Railway. replied the Man Higher end be infatuated with another. But they always add, comfortably: “Of course, you don’t understand that because you're a woman.” It would thake them supremely uncomfortaple if you intimated that you did understand {t. A woman starts with the idea that one man can be all things to her; it is not her fault if she loses it, but his. How few women who love at all marry the man that they most love? How many of us marry at last the good, long-suffering other man whom our own love teaches us to pity and whose heart we accept at last as a refuge from the storm and tears of our great passion. It is taking him into account that I say we can love one man and a half, the firat with ecstacy, the second with resignation. How many women can a man love, as he unde:- stands the word? How many stars are there In the milky way; how many seeds in a cantaloupe? When you havo found this number, look up the binomial formula in your disoarded alxebra and get to work.
