Tbe gentleman was Of refined appearance

moved somewhat impatiently away from
her next neighbor. Finally she arose
abruptly and asked the gentleman on the
other side to change places with her, which
be promptly did.
Her action was noted by other occupants
in the car, and the spirit Of chivalry in
every masculine breast was awake and

II you ever observe it, the electric light
is responsible for many grotesqueries
nightly painted on respectable walls ana
matter of-fact sidewalks. Shadows are
only shadows, but they give one the shivers
sometimes, especially at a late hour, when
honest folk are supposed to be in bed,
Giants of despair then stretch out long
arms at the corners of silent Streets and
strange profles are thrown against the I'M
conscious houses, and weird traceries OF
dancing branches make the pavement rise
and fall in a style that must puzzle per
son who knows he is sober. Alone with
out the presence Of humanity, these cleo
trio shadows lend the sleeping city mys.
tic animation that even conventional
moonshine fails to dispel. The sputterr
the swish Of the lights, too, add to the IN
canny effect, and their fluctuations would
in time drive the sane mad if thought was
taken of them. Luckily, man can accus

Where to Look for Commercial Leaders
Our generals Of commerce may come from
among the men who built Chicago, q
Denver. an Atlanta, rather than from COS
mopolitan New York, keen Boston OF
peaceful Philadelphia. The campaign Is
likely to be most successfully carried on
bv men Of the loose iointed power and
broad optimism Of the Mississippi valley
rather than by the highly organized but
more cautious leading Of the seaboard.
The merchants and manufacturers OF the
coast are perhaps too conventional In their
methods. They have been forced to ngnt
defensivsly too long TO lead where broader

commercial generals must be Lineolns and
