WE'RE DRIVING SLOWLY.


They were driving west on
Avenue q at q slow gait. At the
point where they approached the
railway tracks there are several
vacant lots and a good view of ap-
preaching trains is afforded with
the exception Of trains coming
from the north on the east track.
Here the view is obscured by q
thick row of low bushes and trees
that have grown up along vacant
block. These are so dense that a
view up the track cannot be OBJ
tained until the rails are reached.
Across the tracks on the opposite
corner, with only an untitled va
cant lot intervening and less than
lC0 feet away stands the little
cottage occupied by the Coffman
family. It was here that the &C.
cident occurred at 3:45 o'clock,
aud was witnessed by a score OF
people, among them the mother
of young Coffman.
The swift passenger train was
gliding almost noiselessly over
the tracks with steam shut off, the
south breeze carrying backward
the little vapor that came from
the pipe. The people in the wagon
were MT aware Of it's approach
until they passed beyond the
fringe of thick bushes. Then the
front feet of the horses were on
the rails and the train was only q
few yards away. Young Coffmsn
was seen to make desperate ef-
fort to back the horses out OF
danger and then try to swing them
off the track. He had partially
succeeded when they appeared to
become manageable and sprang
directly in front OF the engine.

Reflections of a Bachelor.

From the New York Press.
 A woman can always find some flaw in mans Story-unless it isn't true.
 It takes smart woman to make a man out of a fool, but any fool woman can make fool out of a man.
 A girls way of flattering new man is to insinuate that she heard the other woman talking a lot about him.
 No girl over sixteen can be expected to be satisfied with the idea of kissing that she gets out of Sunday school books.
 A wicked man is as bound to get thin as successful actress is to get fat
 Some women dress just as much to worry the men as they do to please them.
 Half the time when girl flirts with a man it is only to make another man mad that has been flirting with her.
 Before a man is allowed to ask for a woman's hand he ought to be made to look at it for fifteen minutes through a telescope.
 The woman who will tie a light pink satin ribbon around the neck of DOW legged, cross-eyed, hang-lipped bulldog ought to be sent to sanitarium.

The Prince of Monaco.


 From Pearsons Magazine.
 The Prince of Monaco is known to all the world as the ruler of that llttle princlpallty on the Mediterranean w'lich derives it income from the gaming tables of Monte Carlo. His supJectS number only l3,OOO souls, his country measures but eight souare miles, his income is prodigious and the cares or state hang lightly on his se- rene shoulders. His highness has the opportunity of devoting his life to worldly pleasures.
 It Is, however, as a man of science, as close student of nature, that the Prince of Monaco delights in spending ms spare time and wealth. The deep sea ana It's mysteries, the theories of currents and pressures, the habits and lives or strange creatures living in world or darkness 2,0OO fathoms be- heath the surface hold for him d fasci- nation as strong as that which draws the gambler tO the tables at Monte carlo. The prince has won for him sell an honorable position among men oi science, he is known as one of the rev great experts of oceanography.

Pointed Paragraphs.

From the Chicago News.
 A beautiful woman needs no letter of introduction.
 A good-natured friend is some times an enemy in disguise.
 Never judge mans character by one good or bad action.
 The longer a man is married the less his wife expects of him.
 A woman doesn't have to be good looking in order to look good.
 What most people need is less good advice and more good examples.
 The pleasure of doing good is the one pleasure that never wears out.
 A wise man thinks more than he talks and fool talks more than he thinks. An Irishman's toast: May you live to eat the hen that scratches over your gravel
 Egotism is an alphabet of only one letter.
 Time well arranged indicates we'll ordered mind.
 An optimist says that pessimism is the faith of towards.
 The world is like piece of music 1ull or sharpS and flats.
 The royal road to wealth is paved with industry and frugality.
 A fool knows other peoples business better than wise one knows his own. A wise man occasionally make mis- takes, but he doesn't repeat them.
 A man should not be blamed for his ignorance if he doesn't know enough to find out.

High Standards.

The bard would never have uttered: "Music hath charms" etc., had he heard the rasping sounds emanating from the "thump boxeS'' and "hys- teria-generating" racketS that are be- ing palmed off on the uninitiated as first class pianos. They are gotten up with pretty engraved exterior cases to catch the unwary, but they will not stand this climate over three sum- mers. You will make no mistake in selecting the famous "Behr BroS., {" "Kranich & Bach," "Chickering, n Waldorf" or Mason & Hamlinn pianos, all high standards and sold at s350 and up, by

4 SIGNIFICANT DECISION.
ssems to Hint at a Coming Decision Against
 Governments lmperiaIistic Policy.

The decision of the supreme court,
 bolding unconstitutional and void a
 mart of the war revenue law, goes upon
 s principle which is ominous for the
 governments imperial,stic policy of
 tsxation The point at issue was the
 right to levy stamp tax upon an ex.
 mort bill of lading. By the majority
 of the court it was held that this tax is,
 in effect, tax on exports, and there
 fare prohibited by the constitution. It
 will not be forgotten that powerful
 part of Mir. Carlisle's argument before
 the supreme court was directed to the
 contention that the customs tax which
 American exporters had to pay on Tn
 troducing their goods into Porto Rico
 and the Philippines was equivalent to
 sn export tax. Surely it would seem.
 by parity of reasoning, that if tritilng
 stamp tax on bill of lading is obnox.
 ious to the constitutional prohibition, Il much heavier tax on the goods them selves must be set aside as unconstitu
 tional. We know nothing, of course, sbeut the working of the courts mind in the larger cases yet to be decided, and judges can turn sharp corners like other mortals; yet this decision certainly looks toward denial of the governments claimed right to tax goods arriving from or geing to Porto Rico or the Philippines; or as Attorney General Griggs was forced to put it, under stress of argument, on merchau- dlse passing between Arizona and Texas.
 Almost as significant as the decision itself was the refusal of the court to be influenced by the argument from hn pleasant consequences. It had been maintained by learned counsel that, if the tax on bills of la ding were to be de clared unconstitutional, tonnage taxes and stamp taxes on ships manifests must also fail. But Judge Brewer, who handed down the opinion, quickly dis posed of this: ''The validity of such taxes is not before us for determina ton, he said, ''and therefore we must decline to express any opinion thereon and yet it may not be improper to say that even if the suggested result should follow, it furnishes no reason for not recognizing that which in our judg. ment is the true construction of the limitation. Here, too, is an intimation which will send cold shivers down the imperialistic back of ex-Attorney General GrRgs. Did he not spend hours in har apguing the court to show that it should not decide against the government, because if it did 1t would make the country look How painful is it, then, to find these cold blooded iudges saying that it is their dnty simply to construe the law and the constitution. It is, accordingly, conceivable that the SUI preme court will not think MT. Griggs' dread of looking ridiculous, or even he presidents a valid legal argument.

Ancient Pastimes.

In the Methodist Conference, in New York. minister makes the statement that the restrictions of the church as to card playing and dancing keep the young women out, because the latter ind these restrictions incompatible with their chances of matrimony. It may be taken that he speaks from fair observation and that his remarks are true.
 Differences of opinion may exist as to the morality of card-play ing and dancing, but there is practical unani- mity of opinion as to the propriety and morality, or even the extreme de- sirability, of marriage. Under the cir cumstances it behooves the church to reconcile its tenets with the pursuit of husbands, while not relaxing the moral bounds prescribed by it's inter- pretation of the Scriptures.
 Card-playing and dancing are both very ancient pastimes; probably, in deed, they are almost as old as the in- stitution of marriage. - Philadelphia Times.
