THE MAN FOR THE JOB. Hid most promising sign of gunption the new management of | the New Haven system has yet shown is the introduction of President Arthur T. Hadley of Yale into the directorate. , President Hadley is the man of whom James J. Hill—who knows, a thing or two about railroading himself—once said: “Leave him alone for a week with the books and statements of a railroad and at the end of the tim q will have his finger on every sore spot in the system.” | High finance and low management have dragged this once pros- perous road into the depths. The public is waiting to ece what perspicacity and honesty can do toward rescuing it. If anybody can get the New Haven out of its financial flounder: | ings Arthur Twining Hadley is the man. <-+--—_ —_— “Does the nagging wife drive the husband to drink, or does the 7 drinking husband drive the wife to nag?’ Answer: Yes.

Respectable savings even for a hard- working man with no one to look after but himself. | It was no man, however, who put by these dollars, They were saved from an income of $16 a week earned by a woman, Out of the $16 she supported herself and her aunt and brought up her little | girl, The mother who earned the $16 did it by copying pictures in cheap water colorsduring the day and scrubbing floors at night. She turned over the money regularly to her aunt, who paid the rent and | furnished food for the family. The aunt allowed the wage-carner twenty cents a day for carfare and lunch. A piece of beef carefully selected for Sunday dinner sufficed for the rest of the week. One dress lasted two years. The three lived in a comfortable flat in a good location. ‘The rent was regularly paid. Every penny of the $9,600 was saved by daily self-denial, patience and courage that these two women and the child might live together, live decently, and face sickness and the “rainy day.” The aunt died. The mother broke down under the strain. Nine thousand six hundred dollars’ worth of self-sacrifice was considerably too much, But how many men could have done it? —————<—¢-—_______ So far, “Seeing Concord” has been much the pleasantest stop- off in the tour of the Matteawan murderer. 4 . REFORMING THE “FIRE BLOCKS.” Pr tse in New York in the space of a single year set fires and destroyed $3,000,000 worth of property, acc rding to figures which Fire Commissioner Johnson is trying to impress upon the public. The American people, he declares, pay #300,000,000 4 year in fire insurance premiums which they need not pay if they will make up their minds to stamp out the crime of arson, , There is one block in the heart of the “arson zone” in this city which, by arecord of one hundred and one fires in three years, earned for itself the gruesome title of “the fire block.” Three thousand one hundred dwellers in this block, half of the children, were eon- stantly exposed to dreadful peril. One house close by was fired five times in three days. , How Fire Commissioner Johnson delved and dug in this block and others like it until he had ferreted out the worst firebugs, one of whom confessed to having set three hundred fires, makes a striking story in The Sunday World Magazine for to-morrow, Since the Department began to study fires with ecientifi precision, tive methods to get at the causes, blocks with bad fire reputations have shown a great change, So far this year, for example, the most notorious block in the city for frequent and suspicions blazes haa had exactly two fires, + Using detec- | Se, Cs The last rose of summer has but a scant three days to bloom, Jawa To the Editor of The Kren!

I spent the time trying to digest an article which declared that ‘romantic love’ is dying out.” “Well,” returned the Rib, cheerfully, “if it 1S, let us give it a good, dose of chloroform and put it out of its misery quickly—and forever.” “MISERY!” exclaimed the Mere Man, In astonishment. The Rib nodded serenely, “Romeatic love,” she explained, “has been the cause of three-quarters of the misery in this world ever since Adam and Eve first discovered it under the apple tree. ‘Romantic love’ is just a monster of vanity and selfishness, born of imagination, nurtured on curiosity and illusions and covered with a sugar-coating of sentiment. It has no more to do with real love than the devil has to do with real religion. 66 66 Witeon exclaimed the Mere Man, lifting his head and rest ing on his elbows, with his chin in his hands. “And | thought you were sweet and sentimental!” “I AM—er—sweet and sentimental,” declared the Rib, smilingly. “That's why I'm aitting here trying to defend REAL love.

It is one with the sort of love you feel for a chum, or for yo sister" —— “Or for your grandmother!” interpolated the Mere Man. “When a woman has to foster a man’s ‘love’ with laces and perfumes and soft lights and flattery,” went on the Rib, calmly, “she is fostering his IMAGINATION, not his love. And when a man has to sue for caresses with flowers and bonbons, and wines and music and pretty lies he is not suing for love; he is chasing a glamou: “The kind of game that must be trapped and baited,” agreed the Mere Man, thoughtfully, “IS pretty poor game after you've caught it.” {PRP RAP PPLE PL PPP L PPP PLEADED PPPOE, 66 A ND the kind of love that has to be ‘held’ isn't worth the effort it takes to hold it,” rejoined the Rib. “Love is like honesty or decency, or anything else fine.

Of course, if a woman really wants to be'loved she has got to be sweet—be- cause every man loves sweets; but if she 1s fine and sweet and loyal she needn't fear that a freckle on her nose will destroy any real love that a man may feel for her. or that any golden-haired siren can lure him from jher, Real love is not # thing that blossoms in a day.
