vigorous protests he was taken to the
police station but released 10 minutes

A NEW FIELD.
Opening for Automobiles in Syria and
Palestine.

While it may sound strange. it is never
theIess true. that inquiries about automo-
biles are being made in Syria. Consul
Ravndal at Beirut has made a report on
the subject to the State Department. Only
one specimen. an inferior secondhand
French machine. has been seen in Beirut;
but it is thought that in Syria and Pales-
tine. with their lack Of railroads and street
cars and with their rapidly developing car
riage-road systems, automobiles would do
well. new,road is now being built be-
tween Sidon and Beirut, and will soon re-
place the ancient bride path. While this
road will be level, others throughout this
region are steep and make numerous sharp
turns. Vehicles in use. therefore. must be
strong and durable. Between Haffa and
Nazareth the most satisfactory carriages
employed in the tourist traffic are power
ful. two-seated Surveys, made in Buffalo
N. Y. In these parts horses suffer greatly
from the heat; this difficulty would not ap-
ply to machine In Beirut alone 500 car
riages are running, and hundreds more are
in use in Lebanon and in Palestine.
The country Is poor. and, except possibly
for the accommodation of tourists, there
would not at present be much demand for
automobiles outside of Beirut
The tourist traffic has more than doubled
in Syria during the last ten years. At
present about. $50 foreign tourists pass
through Beirut annually, most Of them pro-
ceeding to Baalbek and Damascus. Twice
this number go through Palestine. Galilee
is also growing IN. favor among tourists.
The figures ,giveRodo not include pilgrims,
thousands, OF whsmF seek the holy places.
nor the special excursions which lately
have come into vogue. Recently the Celtic

Less Reading, More Thinking.

From the Detroit Free PreSS.
OF popular reading there is entirely too
much, except upon the hypothesis that
reading is to kill time. divert thought and
provide temporary pleasure. The vast ma
jority Of contemporary novels, like SO many
other productions Of the day, are made to
sell to a class that demands its literature
wet from the press. Fairly good writers
can be named by the score. and it is prob
ably because there are SO many of them
that so few attain to real distinction, just
as we mourn the absence of Websters and
Clays because there Is such multitude Of
accomplished statesmen that unapproa cha
BILE distinction is seldom possible. But the
curse Of the situation lies in the mighty le-
gions Of mediocrity. and worse. They turn
out books as the modern press showers its
deluge OF daily papers. The seasoning is
high: the substance little and fiabby. The
average novel reader Of the age Is a skim
mer." He wants nothing Of suggested
thought philosophy, ethics or even descrip-
tion He culls out the tale proper and
reaches for another volume. He is the vic
tim of mental dissipation. He gathers moth
ing that lasts. and his powers of receiving
Impressions grow constantly weaker. 1t
would be an inestimable boon to this and
succeeding generations II there were far
less reading more careful selection and far
more thinking upon what is read.

CLEARED HIS CLIENT.
Senator Mason's Efforts for a Man
Who Had Confessed.

AS the time for school commandments
approaches senators are being deuged in
a mass of letters asking for their opinions
on all sorts of moot questions for use by
the students in preparing their end-of-the-
year compositions. Senator Mason of Hi
nois, when asked what trait of character is
the most important element in achieving
success by a lawyer. recently told one Of
his student constituents a story which was
supposed to illustrate his reply, showing
that Investigation, searching and pursued
in face of the most adverse circumstances.
formed the real ladder of success A
young lawyer in Chicago was called on one
evening and told that he was wanted to
defend a murderer.
"a murderer he exclaimed, chow do you
know he is a murderer
1.-The man has confessed" was the reply.
Then what Is the use of calling on me?"
asked the astonished young lawyer.
The representative of the client insisted
that the lawyer accompany him back to the
station house in which the murderer was
locked up. The young lawyer went into
the cell and talked to the man. who made
a full confession Of having committed one
of the most brutal murders In the annals
Of crime. He described just how he had
killed the victims. giving vivid picture
of the entire performance. The young law
yer listened attentively and when he came
out of the cell and was met by the friends
of the confessed murderer with the query,
What can be done?" he replied calmly:
Il think we clear him. but / can
say nothing more about it for the present -
The news went broadcast that the MUIR
derer had confessed, was locked up and
would be given a speedy trial But the
young lawyer, carrying the idea of a
searching investigation into his work. had
concluded. after hearing the confession,
that the man was not the murderer He
made no pretense of being able to deter
mine the psychological conditions that had
brought about the confession but he knew
the man could not have been the guilty
one. The real murderers, seeing that a
confession had been made. returned to the
city, were arrested, tried and convicted on
evidence which could not be questioned
in spite Of the continued protestation on
the part Of the client that he alone was
guilty of the deed. 1t was proven con-
clusively that he had nothing to do with
it, and only knew that a murder had been
committed when a wild cry of murder"
had been started on the street
One fact connected with this illustration
of the value Of careful Investigation was
given by Senator Mason to the student con-
stituent. The young lawyer who was
called on in the case was Senator Mason
himself years before he ever thought of
coming to the Senate.

vandals Who Steal From Graves.

Some time ago an account Of the meanest
woman up to date was given In this corre-
spondence-the Brooklyn woman who made
a business of stealing the freshly deposited
flowers from Brooklyn cemeteries and SELL
ing them to Italian florists of the city of
churches to be made over again into cheap
nnsegays. A species Of meanness almost
as deplorable recently came to light when
three young men, two OF them Of good
families, were arrested IN Brooklyn for
stealing the bronze doors and other metal
trimmings from mausoleums in Brooklyn
cemeteries. The constituencies young
thieves sold the gear that they thus lifted"
to junk dealers, who in turn. disposed of
1. to stone masons In the way OF getting
contracts for cemetery work. one Of the
great Brooklyn cemeteries contains a sar-
cophagus. erected some years ago over the
remains Of a millionaire manufacturer of
soda water fountains. that has been more

thorities as well as TO the relatives of the
other dead Inferred In the neighborhood Of
