YOUR CHAUFTEUR were prudent and conserva- tive enough to obey the old city ordinance limit- ing the epeed of motor vehicles to eight miles an hour—an absurd thing to imagine, it is true— he would have to keep off of Fifth avenue and some other crowded thoroughfares altogether, be- cause he couldn’t half keep up with the procession. The etream of traffic is so great in these main arteries that # cannot | be properly directed at any speed less than fifteen miles an hour, and the enforcement of a slower pace would mean blockades and confusion worse confounded. It is safer (for the motorist, not the pedestrian) to forget tho city ordinance, and go by the Callan State automobile law, which Tecognizes thirty miles an hour as a “discretionary maximum” for city motoring. The general practice between these two extremes is a go-as-you- plese which makes heroes and martyrs of the traffic squad policemen | who strive to stem the torrent. In the opinion of Mayor Gaynor and rome of the magistrates, the Callan State law supersedes the city ordinance in authority as! well in fact. But it also appears, as Magistrate Freachi points oat, that by the provision of this same Callan law the city may ee | tablish its own local speed rules. Under these circumstances, it would seem to be up to the Board of ‘Aldermen to pass an ordinance raising the old rate of eight miles an hour, and reducing the Callan in-discretionary limit by half. ————++-—————_ PLUNGING ON THE ENDURANCE RACE. HE late John W. Gates, who was frequently spoken of as a “plunger,” played Wall street on @ sys- tem, and was thirty or forty million dollars ahead of the game when he died at the age of fifty-ix. Thomas A. Edison, luckily among those guests | who escaped unhermed from the Carlton Hotel fire | in London, is now sixty-four. He also has his “system,” applied to living, by which he declares he expects to ettain the patriarchal age of 150. A man died in Minnesota Iwtely only eleven days short of the century mark. As is too often the case, this near-centenarian was a hard drinker and an inveterate emoker. Maybe if he had lived a temperate life he might have rounded out the full hundred years. But # all goes to dhow what an uncertain game life is. Some men take things easy and pase off in their prime. Edison works sixteen or eighteen hours a day, intends never to retire, and is going stronger than ever at sixty-four. The only positive asmurence the wizard inventor can have in| regard to the long epan he looks to, and which all the world cor-| Mr. Just-too-Late « ww By Hy Gage Coprright, 1911, by The Prese Publishing Oe, (The New York World).

ANIEL DOWLASS haa been a grocer. For many years he and bis | fat wife had measured out sugar and onlons behind the counter of their little shop. Theirs had been a dally struggle with poverty. | They had thought it quite a fine thing when they were able to ap | prentice their son, Dick, to a villiage lawyer. Then had come a great change. | Lord Duberly, @ stiff old aristocrat, died His only son, young Henry | Moreland, was reported lost at sea. Dowlasy was a distant cousin of the Duberly family. As there chanced to be no nearer relatives he was de clared “heir at law" to the dead nobleman and thus became Lord Duberly. Tt was an event that turned the heads of the whole family. Dowlass and his wife had been excellent grocers in a small way. But thetr efforts to | Maintain thetr new position of rank and wealth were almost pathetically | absurd. In vain did his wife try to teach Dowlase the ridiments of good breeding. For she wi vulgar as le. At length Dowlass hired a penniless and incompetent scholar, Dr. fam gloss, to teach him how to talk correctly and to act as tutor for his son Diok.

Cl ined a place as companion to Miss Caroline Dormer, a youn 1 who had been engaged to Henry Moreland and who was atili mourning for her adored lover's death. Zeklel was overjoyed at Dick's good fortune and hastened to congratulate him, but Dick turned 4 cold shoulder on his old friend and absolutely refused to continue his engagement to Cicely. . Zektel with difficulty restrained himself from thrashing Dick, and finafly went to Cicely to till her that her lover was a scoundrel who, in his hour of prosper+ ity, had deserted her. Tho poor girl was broken-hearted, Even the faot that Zeke! next day won a big fortune on a Jottery ticket that had peen bought Jong before by hf father did not lghten her sorrow. But Dick was decent at heart. When the first flush of wealth-intoxtcation passed he had the grace to be ashamed of himself. He hurried to Caroline Dormers home and begged Cicely to-forgive and marry him, She willingly pare donet him, as did Zektel. Just then Henry Moreland—long believed dead—rushed nto the house in goarch of Caroline. He had not been drowned, but had been cast away on # deserted coast, whence, after many months, he had been rescued. He had now hastened back to England to claim poth his estates and his promised bride. The Luck Moreland’s reappearance changed the Dowlass for- Changes Ac tunes as suddenly as had the earlier report of his death, Dowlass and his wife were no longer Lord and erly. Dick was no longer the dashing, wealthy young man-about-town, but was merely the Impecuntous suttor of rich Cicely. His sweetheart loved hin none the less for his loss of prospects, but tnsisted on sharing her wealth with him.
