CCORDING to Mr. Mellen’s testimony, when Mr. Morgan made him President of the Northern Pacific Railroad the telephone conversation ran: “Will you take the Northern Pacific Presidency?” “Yes.” “Leave all the details to me?” “Yes.” When Mr. Morgan made Mr. Mellen President of the New Haven Mr. Mellen again “left ail details,” including his salery, to Mr. Morgan. Whenever Mr. Mellen and the directors of the New Haven met thereafter to discuss its affaize they left the details to Mr. Mor gam—end meekly. voted as Mr. Morgan wished. When Mr. Mellen Plocked up courage to ask Mr. Morgan what became of $11,165,000 that vanished in the Westchester deal “Mr. Morgan was very ebrupt in ie answer” and Mr. Mellen “left the office feeling mruch bumili- ated.” After all, the $11,155,000 was a detail. “I was proud to be called Mr. Morgen’s men,” says Mr. Mellen.

This plan moves the tunnel entrance to a point north of Thirty-fourth street, where Fourth avenue is twenty feet wider than where the tunnel now outs it, end provides for traffic a smooth unbroken grade across the entire width of the avenue ascending from Thirty-second to Thirty-fourth street. Opposition to the Collis project has come mainly from property feeberests, whose only hope seems to have been to delay a betterment which in the end is bound to prevail. = Fourth evenue is already one of the great north and south thor- onghfares of Manhattan:~ With the completion of the viaduct over _ Forty-sooond street which is to make the Park avenue section of Fourth evenue continuous north and south of the Grand Central Station, up end down town travel along this great artery will vastly “ {narease, fhe strangulation just below Thirty-fourth street, where the gizeem of traffic must now contract to pass over the narrow ramp ‘ west of the:tunnel opening, is already serious, It will shortly be- ' ome intolerable.

Isn't it about time to set aside minor schemes that are only meant to be hindrances and let the approved * Callis plan have the right of way? —_—— +4 “THE NEW HAZARD.” PEPQHE Safety First Society, nowly organized in an effort to mini- | mise the number of street accidents, has chosen a good month of the year to begin its activities. From now on street perils in Manhattan ate heavily multiplied owing to the number of persons, particularly children, who spend most of their waking hours in the streets. Reckless automobile driving under such conditions means almost certain accident. Mayor Mitchel was right when he told the new socicty that “It ought to be understood once and for all, and by all of us, that there can be no such thing as bigh speed on this istand.” Before the public rose up and demanded that they be checked, Juggernaut mail trucks were the worst motor menaces in the city. But every month now sees an increase in the number of enormous motor storage vans, express trucks, coal wagons—many of them big as trolley cars—which run through the busiest streets, The momentum of one of these huge and heavy vehicles as it dashes along through the traffic is appalling. How much attention do we pay te the sort of men permitted to drive some of these great motor trucks, any one of which could do as much damage as a locomotive? The Mayor recommends “the personal licensing of every person Griving a high power machine.” It is the man, not the motor, that does the murder.

The story of auch a trip is told in @ worn and faded old diary which was kept by Mrs. Bryant, mother of the famous editor and poet, It was seventy-nine years ago that the mother of William Cullen Bryant left the old home where the author of “Thanatopsis” was born and where her husband had died, to establiah a new hoi at Princeton, lll, in the then “Wild West." From Cumming- ton, Mass., Bryant's birthplace, Mra, Bryant, who was accompanied by her aon Austin and his wife and baby and her daugtiter Louisa, travelled by stage to Albany. The overland journey required two days, the party reaching the Empire State capital in the late afternoon of May 18. They went immediately on board the canal boat Amberat, owned y Thompson of Peru, and by sundown they were off, “Boat ver, 8 great number of nolsy children; sleep the first night,” was Mra, Bry- ant’s comment on her fret experience of canal boats.

At first, one love affair or one cocktafl will go to a man’s head and make him feel perfectly giddy; but, after awhile, it requires a lot of them to give life any real zest. A man can usually keep other people's secrets, but a woman has used up all her self-control if she manages to keep her own. Never fancy that it is impossible to flatter a man; even Caliban would have flushed with pleasure if some fluffy little nymph had complimented him on his “Individuality.” A flirt begins to amuse herself with married men just about the time she begins using henna, lip-rouge, wrinkle eradicators and other “last resorts.” So Wag Bits of Common Sense Philosophy With a“ By Clarence L.

The efficacy of the horseshoe is well known and can no more be doubted than can the luck-bringing qualities of the right hind foot of a rabbit deny the luck of the horseshoe, not many of in the most ardent devo- tees of that charm know how or why it gained its magical properties. It was St. Dunstan, the blacksmith, and the patron of all smiths and Smiths, who made the horseshoe lucky. St. Dunstan was an Anglo-Saxon ecclesiastic who lived in the tenth century. He entered the Benedictine Order at an early age, and when not he was tolling away at the forge, thinking doubtless of heavenly things, when a shadow fell athwart the » The gaint looked up, and whom less!
