The way has been pointed out for
the admission Of the graphophone as
a witness in the law courts. A prop
erty-owner in New York sued a rail-
way company for damages alleged to
have been caused by the noise result
ing from railroad operations near his
property, and his counsel sought to
have a graphophone reproduction Of
certain Of these noises accepted as
evidence. The opposing counsel OBJ
jected OF the ground that it has not
been proved that the recorded noises
were produced originally by the de-
PENDANT company's operations. The
judge sustained the objection. but said
that he would have admitted the tes-
timony of the graphophone if the
proper way for its admission had been
opened.

The Rev. Frank Crane of Chicago
says: "a minister is asked many
times a week what an unemployed mar
is to do in Chicago. Thousands are
out of work. The afternoon newspa-
per offices are besieged by crowds of
men eager to get hold of the want adj
vertisements, to see where they can
get something to do. l have been
asked to give some word of practical
advice to a man seeking work in the
great city. The best word 1 can think
of is this: Get on the cars and ride as
far as your money will carry you; then
get off and walk as far as you can, al
ways headed straight away from Chi
cago." Doubtless many of those unem-
ployed Chicago people would take the
Rev. Cranes advice were they not
aware of the fact that hoboing, while
in one sense having much room, is still
a crowded profession.

The testimony of the most noted

Of his occupation should be regarded
as good evidence. 1t goes a long way
toward destroying such false state
ments as are contained in silly news
paper stories of wealth easily got at
the gaming-table. This modern game
ster of worldwide notoriety said:
"Show m a gambler with a bank &C.
count. Show me one with a bit of
real estate. You can't do it. If I had
s.se money I wouldn't scour the earth
for games to play. I'd stay right
here"
