| C. T. Yerles, the American who is
building London's tubes" has one rule
/ which perhaps in measure explains
his success. This is never to take UP
more than one thing at a time. He was
asked the other day whether he was
going to engage in any new schemes.
IF man came to me with guarantee
that he could make golden sovereigns
out of scrap iron,' he said, Il would not
join him or back him. One thing at
time has been my invariable rule"

Governor Cummins and his speech on
reciprocity: Ellis speech made pro-
found impression upon the reciprocity
deyotees, and the sponsor Of the tariff
revision idea from the Hawkeye state
was given an incipient boom for the
presidency. 1t is said several eastern
men of wealth We're more than delight

Walter Wellman, Writing from Dub
lin, says the Irish people are united for
self protection, but do not seek separ-
alton from Great Britain. The English
people manifestly fear to grant them all
they desire.
1t is stated from Washington that
republican leaders have practically
abandoned hope of legislation on the
tariff, trusts and reciprocity at the
present session, and that these subjects
will go over for one year on account of
the wide difference of opinions among

According to the Sun, Sunday has
avowedly become a day of diversion to
New Workers. who, il they remain in
the city, are very likely to take advan-
tage of some of the available means of

artistic booklets The man is George
Hansen, an architect. He is not the man
who talks about his baby. He photo
graphs him and lets the world admire
with him. In fact, he has made book
of these pictures

II rise every morning at o'clock,
having retired at a reasonable hour, and
I am always at work at Z. The secret
