United States Consul Brush at Mi

If one half that is claimed for the

best combination being that found

Mr.. Bonaparte Should Look.

One Of she eve Of his departure from

Walker, sou of Admiral Walker,
from duty at Charleston, S. c.. where
he was supervising the construction of
the great new dry dock at that port.
The only cause for this removal, so
far as the public can discover, is that
Lieut.. Walker was lynx-eyed in his
vigilance. Whenever be saw any work
which he believed to be below con-
tract requirements, he made the con-

Automobiling at Ten Cents Per Mile

estimated at %, 900 miles. The de-
probation of ell-kept runahout in
it's first year will be about 5000 to
$3.50. At the end of the second year
it would probably sell for $500, with
sundry lamps, spar tubes, etc.,
thrown in. It's mileage has been:
perhaps. 5000 miles in two years, and
the repair bill may have been two
per cent. of its purchase price per

the car chonges bands at the end of its
second year, we have for the first two
years an annual depreciation of nearly
