By the lat of next January the new line should be ready for use. Mayor Mitchel and the Borough Presidents of Manhattan and the Bronx will be on hand to congratulate Harlemites upon this and other improvements which Harlem owes to its wide-awake Board ot Commerce. Forty miles of additional sireet lighting in two years Moreased train service on ali three railroads, a new post office, a) new steel pier at One Hundred and Thirty-first Street and the Hud- son River, more surface cars with less noise, a Harlem traffic squad, new police stations, and a publicity campaign that rented scores of Harlem houses and apartments, are only a few of the achievements to the credit of the Board. It is two hundred and thirty years or thereabouts since a couple of stout-legged Dutch missionaries—favorites of R. R. Wilson in his studies of old New York—left the Bowery one morning and proceed- ed, as related in their journal, “through the woods to New Harlem, a rather large village directly opposite the place where the northeast creek (Harlem r) and the Kast River come together, situated about three hours’ journey from New Amsterdam, like as the oid Harlem in Europe is situated about three hours’ distance from the old Amsterdam.” They found lodging in a house “filled with people, mostly drinking execrable rum.” But the travellers admit they gor also “the best cider we have tasted.” For two centuries Harlem grew sturdily but not rapidly—a snug town, in no hurry to be claimed by its pushing parent to the south. As late as 1830, Wilson reminds us, “the only passenger conveyance between the village and New York was by a stage which left the cor- ner of Third Avenue and One Hundred and Twenty-fifth Street at % o'clock in the morning and reached Park Row shortly before 10 o'clock, starting on the return trip at 3 in the afternoon.” Even in the fifties a visitor describes Harlem as still clustered close to the river, well shaded with tre charmingly rural, and apparently impervious to chan; Not so impervious, it proved. Steam trains of the New York Harlem Railway Company presently took people as far south as Thir- y-second Street. Horse cars made their appearance. In tho sixties and seventies, however, river steamers—many New Yorkers remember the fine old boats “Sylvan Dell,” “Sylvan Grove,” “Shady Side,” “Morrisania”—were by far the pleasantest means of transportation for Harlem residents. Then in 1880 came the elevated, and Harlem’s “rural” days wore definitely over. What has happened since everybody knows. Har- lem, by charter of 1666 “a town within a city,” has grown to be an in- tegrai and important part of the metropolitan development. By ite enterprise, by its quick grasp of business opportunities, by its instinct for improvement, the later Harlem has identified itself more and more with the progress of New York as a whole. Yet it has kept both its individuality and its name, It is still a distinct and conscious civic centre, Nor does its present Board of Commerce apparently mean to Jot Harlem get lost in the great city even while welcoming every link that binds it more closely to other sections, most Hits From Sharp Miladi says if it wasn't for mother a hardwear store?—Philadelphia In- the small boy's ears and neck would | quirer, be two more dry precincts, oe « * oe nome married men are really Nobody loves A fat man, but the|Pahhy, while there are others who angele that count the halts of the | Us look pleasant in company, Mead must adore the bald-headed ones.—-Memphis Commercial Appeal. oe. fk Wits.

A woman friend of his once remarked’ to me: “How happy you must be. You have such a lovely home, Such beautiful clothes, and such wonderful jewels, Then you can travel and entertain as you please,” 1 was temptod to tell her the truth, But pride would not let me.

It is not easy to ask a man for money, “I don't care how little it is, but please give me an allowance. I met that nice Mra, Browne the other day and wanted to ask her to have toa, but 1 hadn't a cent, I can’t accept cou ea from other women and not return them.” | 1 waited anxioutily for his reply.

I'm glad our Willie did take it off the plano and Play with it.” Just the doorbell rang. “Oh, ded,” cried Mrs. Jarr. “There he is back again. Say I have gone to bed. I suppose he forgot his gloves or something. Well, whatever it Is, you and he can look for it,” and she was preparing to beat retreat when Mr. Jarr looked over the land- ing rail and descried one of the in- verted flower pot felt hats that young men who would be in the fashion are wearing now. “Why, it's Jack Silver!" Mrs. Jarr hurriedly took off her apron, glanced fn the small mirror in the hatrack to see if she looked pre- wentable as to colffure and complexion, Seeing that she was, she brushed past Mr. Jarr and welcomed the well-to-do young bachelor with hospitable cries of glad surprise. “Excuse the lateness of the call, Mrs. Jarr,” remarked Mr. Silver, “But I was in the neighborhood and I thought 1 would drop in.” “It was about time you came to " said Mrs. Jarr, “And I had the nicest young lady visiting me last week, whom I wanted you to meet.” “No nice girl would have me,” Mr, Silver declared. “I'm too cranky, Be- sides, Mr, Jarr got the only girl that I would have been happy with—I'd say more, but I don't wish to make him jealous.” Mrs, Jarr beamed and insisted on Mr, Silver smoking (and right in the front room under her lace curtains too), while she bustied out and got ice, a siphon and w bottle of Scotch, Mr, Jarr gazed bewildered, When Jen- kins and he had been talking war and Wall Street and Mr, Jarr had asked if there was “anything in the house’ Mrs, Jarr had replied that there was not, “Ah.” purred the hypocritical bach- ¢elor, as he settled hin if back with hie cigar and highball, “this is some- thing like living! ‘This Js comfort; this is a home.

By Molly Elliott Seawell. N’ electorate has ever existed, or ever can exist, which cannot execute its own laws. . Under the Government of the United States, the normal voter must have two qualifications, First, he must, except in occasional indi- vidual instances, be physically able to make his way to the polls, against opposition if necessary; and, second, he must be able to carry out by force the effect of his ballot. Law cons of a series of thou-shalt-nots, but government does not result until an armed man stands ready to execute the law. Force converts law into government. In civilized countries there are three methods of converting law into government—fine or compensa- tion, imprisonment and death. For all of these, physical force is necessary. To create an electorate unable to use physical force {s not, as the Suffra: gists seem to think, merely doubling the present electorate. It means pulling out the underpinning, which is force, from every*form of govern- ment the world has yet known. The Suffragists claim that the moral forces ought to supplant mere physioal force. But the law is made for the lawbreaker, who always uses physical force. If a burglar equipped with a dark lantern and a jJimthy breaks into the house of a Suffragis e does not rely on any moral force | to get him out. She calls on the nearest policeman, and her sole depend- | ence is physical force to sustain the law. Dollars and Sense — By H. J. Barrett.
