WRITING A SECOND NOVEL.
John Philip snusn. the "March Kings
Hard at Work on History of
His Boyhood.

John Philip Sousa is writing his
tory of his boyhood adventures in
the form of a novel-his second, by
the way-but it will set down almost
literally many things that happaned
in the younger days of the present
march king Mr.. Sousa Il few days
ago closed a contract for the book
with the Bowen-Merrill company of
indianapolis, and probably will finish
it before his departure in the autumn
for mis- European tour.
He will place his story in the
southeastern part of Washington and
along the Anacostia river There are
to be found many quaint characters
even to-day. There, too, is much his
torical ground. Bladensburg, besides
figuring in the war of the revolution,
was the old dueling ground where
gallants OF the early republican days
repaired to settle their disputes. At
mosphere is furnished also by the
hunters, who even now find great
tlocks of ducks, rail and reed birds
along the Anacostia.
Mr.. Sousa's book will tell the story
OF two boy chums. One was strong
and full OF fight and the other was
lacking in physical strength but
smart at his studies and music. The
two were constantly together, the
strong one defending his weaker
chum and always bowling to his supe-
nor Judgment in matters Of mind.

OF the children OF the wealthy on

ETY. for the Study OF Life in the Tux

"A plush civilization is not the one
for children. The home on whose
walls the pictures are crying out for
space is not the home for children.
Parents must decide whether the up
holsterer, the tailor or the child shall
rule the home.
Many Fifth avenue houses" he
said. "look like the place of tombs'
or OF lost souls. The children have
also the great misfortune of not go

schools have too long vacations. dur

LAUGH AT GOODS. DISDAIN.
The Men students at Northwestern
University Are Amused by
Feminine EDITORIAL

Men students Of Northwestern uni
versity, at Evanston, Ill.,. are disposed
to smile at the protest of the goods
as voiced in an article in the woman's
edition of the Northwestern, which
declaims men as being well enough
''for teachers. friends, dressmakers or
husbands" but as not being "satisfac-
tory companions for a walk"

said one man, who expressed the SEN
timents Of the male division Of the uni
versity, after reading the article in
question. that when man calls at
the girls halls with the intention of
taking a walk with a coed he is sell
dom disappointed. This is something
new to me. l had a rather deep-rooted
notion that the girls sat up nights
plotting ways to entrap the men into
asking them to go strolling. l call it
a very poor bluff"
The woman's edition Of the college
paper furnished the chief subject for
discussion about the university camp
us. Surprise and general commenda-
ton of the editors was expressed at
the absence of flippancy and nonsense
found in the edition. in marked con-
trast to those of former years.
\ prominent feature OF the paper
was the goods defense of coeducation.

On Wager They Succeed in Cross
Ing the Continent without a
Cent and Without begging
for Money or Food.

Trace Fosland and Louise Gauss,
the two young Chicago girls who set
out from that city about a month ago
to cross the continent without ex-
pending any money, have just reached
San Francisco. They left Chicago
with capital Of 45 cents, and have
reached the Pacific coast without do
ing much walking. They Jared bet
ter in the way of receiving transport
tation than they did for food, for
after leaving Aurora they went four
days without anything to eat. By
the terms of the pact the girls en-
tered into before setting out they
could not beg, but were ready to ac-
cept anything that was offered them.
Their friends in Chicago were sur
prised to learn that they had reached
their destination so soon, for it was
expected that they could not reach
the coast before the month of June.
Miss Gauss is a resident of Lock
port, ILL.,. but has spent much Of her
time in Chicago during the last two
or three years, studying at the Amer
Fosland is also a musician and gradu-
ated from the normal school at San
Jose, Cal, two years ago and came
to Chicago to continue her studies.
She has an income from her fathers
estate in California, and it is not for
lack of money that she beat her way
to her old home.
The young women planned their
trip secretly, confiding in but one
friend, who furnished them the
money to pay their transportation to
Aurora, after which they were left to
their own resources. It was from
there they did most of the walking
during the trip. doing 20 miles in one
day to Millbrook. They reached Oma-
ha March "a, where man. learning
of their trip, paid their fare to Og-
den. From there to San Francisco
they had to beat their way. and were
put off trains on several occasions.

London to Have Shallow subway.
London is about to reap the benefit
of the experience of Paris and New
York in the way of building shallow
underground rapid transit railroads.
Col. York, chief engineer Of the coun-
ty council of London, has lust re-
turned from Paris, where he inspect
ed the Metropolitan most carefully.
He has recommended that the shall
low subway system be adopted in the
new thoroughfare. He bases his rec
concentrations on the ground that it
is more convenient for passengers
and more economical to work. Being
easier of access, the shallow subway
affords greater opportunities in case
of accident. 1t has, besides, much
purer atmosphere.
