Of the killed 19 were victims of automobiles. The deaths due to automobiles were more than twice as many as | in July of last year, when 9 were killed by motor ve- hicles. | If the count of victims were to include persons offering from shock or insomnia, the numbers would assume the pro- portions of legion. Of course the machine has to scare people, for their own good, on the principle that the nervous shock is not #0 bad as the physical one of being run over. But the trouble is that there is no uniformity in the notes of warning, even assuming that they are never sounded unnecessarily. Some autos honk, some bellow, | some blare and some whistle. Worst of all, there is the unearthly | siren shriek produced by a device utilizing the motor’s exhaust. These are all cruel and wousual pumahments, dovhiy so to ay musical ear, as there is no regulation of tone or pitch. The yawp| note may be anywhere or everywhere in a range of a couple of oc-) taves. In fact, your automobile procession has the steam calliope of the old-time circus parade beaten to a frazzle. On one car there is the top note of a cornet, on the next the middle note of a wood- wind instrument, on a third the hoarse guttural of a bassoon. If the sound is by chance too soft and mellifluous, its value as a danger signal is impaired, because the innocent bystander doesn’t realize | what is coming. | This confusion and multiplicity of sounds, and all for our good, | becomes a wearing and racking hardship. Leading doctors rate it as a crying menace to health. So eminent an authority as the London | Lancet utters a ponderous protest in these words: “There can be no| question of the reality of the evil, and our authorities must be pressed to eradicate it from our midst.” That's the right sort of talk. Now that medical testimony has pronounced against the lusty anto horn, ordinance could and should be forthcoming to ameliorate present conditions by standardizing the honk. 4-2. BANZAI!

Somehow, this has a <> reminiscent sound, as if we \e p had heard it before. But no matter—it is optimistic and inspiring, especially as the magazine impresario goes on to tell what a simple thing it is for the new writer to beat the work of the veteran contributor. All you have to do is to keep in touch with the nawspapere. The new type of magazine in America, Mr. Editor points out, is merely “a form of journalism imposed on the old struc- tures of essays, stories and poems,” #0 that newspaper work can be recommended es the extension ladder on which the beginner may climb to magazine work. Oh, yes! There is one other little detail of requirement which we had nearly overlooked. That's talent, or genius, “Given the talent or genius which the above-named writers be- gan with, the espirant who will conform to the arduous conditions the art demande will surely attain a ready market and a sterling Trepu- tation, if not fame.” Who would ever have thought it was so easy?

AND THE HIS- TORY OF THE FINANCIAL WORLD CONTINUALLY RECORDS THE PLUNGER AND THE INEVITABLE DIVE THAT DROWNS HIM. “But at the same time the same chronicles set forth the slower patience method in the line of persistence. ‘Rome was not bullt in a day'—neither were the great fortunes of the hour. And steady, cool, calm effort have been the rocks upon which fortunes have been butlt. “Yet eeamingly we to-day hnve preserved less of the perseverance of our forefathers. We do everything in a hurry. Every mimute |s regulated by a pen- dulum of rush, and the man of the hour rushes in where his father would have foared to tread. “There te the great reason for the making and unmaking of big fortunes that we hear of in the every day.

I asked, ‘9, I would not,” answered Mr, Hepburn, “It ts the most natural thing tn the world for a man to indulge hie wife and family in the many Ittle fancies and follles that seem necessary rudiments in the domestic condition to-day, “And I must admit that I belong eomewhat perhaps to the old school where my mother's sex t# concerned, For instance, I think that 1f we would soften the scream of suffrage that seems to be dominating the woman's world to-day and substitute the ory of conservation of the home, many people would not be continuously travelling on the ragged edge of nothing. “IN MY BMPLOYMENT OF MEN IN SEVERAL PNTERPRISES | FIND THAT THE WIVES OF THESE INDIVIDUALS, TIMES WITHOUT NUM- BPR, ARF DRAWBACKS IN THE PATH OF THE MAN WHO MIGHT RISE TO BIG THINGS. “To what would you attribute this condition?” “To the training they get and the experience continus) Lefore them.

SIE ™ NEVER had vo vppor- tuntty before coming to New York of learning to dance. After a course of lessons the H— Dancing Academy I felt that I was proficient enough in the art to acquit myself creditably at a bat. The opportunity to try my skill came when my friend Walsh invited me to the grand entertainment and reception at the Democratic Club, to bv hel at Terrace Garten. There I met Tessie. i Tessie was talkative and ‘Tessie was kind. When she learned that this wae the first time I danced in a crowded hall she said I was doing very well. Before I went home that night I had Tessie’s address and an tnvitation to come around the following Sunday evening. I had also contrived to tearn what her favorite flowers were, what sorts of candy sho liked best and the kind of play she most enjoyed. I meant to give Tessie the impression that I was pre- pared to gratify to the utmost her fondness for all such goog things, and as I was earning $15 @ week at the time I doubtless entertained sucn a conviction myself, } A $100 Courtship on $15 a Week. } T was @ sport when I wooed Tessie. Powers, candy, theatre tHokete, suppers and dinners without @ break—and all this on $15 a weer. Two dollars for my hall bedroom and a spectal diet for me while the fun lasted. When I figured that I had spent something Ike $100 on Tessie I began to wake up to the practical side of the affair, I first planned to do my proposing by matt, but later decided to attend to ft in person for the sake of cultivating my nerv “There's one thing I like about you, Tessie, Tessie asked me shyly what it was, . arm, like this," and promptly [ sutted the action to the worl. Tessie made not the slightest objection; no doubt she quite forgot the ques tion of propriety in her admiration for my artfulne: “Dear me," T sighed, “it 1s over ninety-three hours ago that we last eaw each other,” and I captured a Iittle hand that had strayed near the ekirmishing line. “Humph!" sniffed Tessie, not n the least impressed. you to figure that out?’ “Tenste, dear," and I drew her very close indeed, “T wish you would be eert- ous for just one minute, I want to tell you how dearly I love you, end I want you to say that you will be my own dear little wife.” “Oh, you mustn't talk Ike that,” remonstrated Tesale, and with every eg» pearance of real consternation she endeavored to disengage heresif from ay, arm. “And why not? Why mustn't I talk Itke that, my eweet, pretty Mttle chick? “Why, I thought you knew I was already engaged to be married, “Then I took my arm aw: “Tesstc—Miss B- this @ joke or do you mean it?” ome The sudden sternness of my manner seemed to frighten her a @ttfe, fer her lips trembled slightly as she assured me with downcast eyes that t wae the truth.

But I had no more to say. I had ae wish to mar the beautiful aspect of nature by giving utterance to my thoughts, and, besides, my Mmited vocabulary made such a thing impossible.
