Praise Of the Autom obile

II perchance it is springtime. we lunch
as we rest
On a bed of blue violets sweet,
With a thrush or a robin to thrill over
head
A silvery song while we eat
We linger a while under blossomy boughs
An armful of fragrance to steal
From apple trees freighted with dewy
pink buds,
Then away in the automobile.
Should somebody dear on the seat nestle
near,
Then slackens the speed of the car,
Gliding slowly along in the amethyst dusk
BY the light of the bright evening star.
There's no question to ask and an an
Swer to hear,
And a promise with kisses to seal,
And later the bliss of a honeymoon tour
For the pair in the automobile.
--AIinna Irving. in Leslies Weekly.

Oh, others may talk Of the joys of the
dance
When the music is dreamy and low,
Or the thrill of delight when the sail is
unfurled
And the wake is a smother of snow;
Or the pleasure canter on horseback
affords,
Or day with the rod and the reel:
But give me the reach of a long, level
road,
And a seat in an automobile!
How the miles rush away from the tire
less machine!
How houses and fences fly pastl
The town is a blur, and the orchards and
woods
In ribbons OF green follow fast.
it's adieu to the carriage we meet as we
go,
And farewell to the ft-movinE wheel
And goodbye to the trolley car Ire soon
overtake
When ont in an au' Nnoble.

Nan Patterson is Released.

New York-After more than elev-
en- months in prison and three mis-
trials on the charge Of numbering Gaze
sar Young, Nan Patterson walked
from the Tombs a free woman. AS
she left the great building which has
been home since few days after
Young was found dying in cab in
lower New York, 1000 people greeted
her with cheers, for the news that
District Attorney Jerome would move
for her dismissal from custody had
spread throughout the vicinity of the
courthouse. But the accused girl had
but a few seconds to see and hear
the demonstration before she was
whisked away in a. cab with her at
torney, Abraham Levy. She left for
her home in Washington tonight.
An hour before noon District At
torney Jerome appeared before Rec
order Golf and announced that he de-
sired to move the discharge of the
former chorus girl without bail and
on her own recognizance. This an
nouncement followed three trials fol-
murder.
Perhaps the great dramatic climax
to the troubles Of the former Floro-
dora girl was the reunion in freedom
with her sister, Mrs. J. Morgan Smith
and her brother-in-law, j. Morgan
Smith, both Of whom were discharged
by Justice Cowing in the court OF
general sessions after being held on
charges of conspiracy in connection
with the Patterson case. Smith was
also held for contempt Of court IN
failing to obey subpoena as a wit
ness at the first trial. He was fined
$3.50 and released on this charge,
Then came the surprise for Nan Pat
terson herself paid the fine out of a
5000 check which had been given hel
by a friendly newspaper.
The first intimation that Mrs. Pat
terson, the mother Of Nan, had OF
her daughters release was contained
in the Associated Press bulletins from
New York. Mrs. Patterson would not
at first believe the news but when con-
vinced that the report was correct
and that her daughter would arrive
home this evening she collapsed and
physicians were hastily sent for

Brutal Hazing.

New York-Louis Wolfe, who ap
piled for admission to Troop G, Fif
teenth Cavalry, was stripped to the
skin and drenehed with water from
a hose for fifteen minutes. He was
then painted with iodine and made to
ride over hurdles on the worst horse
in the troop. Time after time he
plunged around the ring hanging or
to the horses neck. Finally he was
thrown and barely escaped the horses
hoofs. Not until then did the jokers
realize that their fun" had gone toe
far. Captain johnson has ordered q

OUR WASHINGTON
NEWS NOTES.
LATE NEWS ITEMS FROM OUR
NATIONS CAPITOL.
SOUTHERN TOUR is NEXT
President Desires to see More Of the
Southern States and it is His Pur-
pose to Make a Tour Before the
Meeting of Congress.

That President Roosevelt will visit
New Orleans in October now seems
almost certain, from authoritative
statements. The President will take
a trip to the. south. just before the
convening of Congress in extraordi-
nary session, which will take place
between the 10th and Goth of October.
This much may be stated with alb
solute authority, but as to his visiting
New Orleans nothing definite may be
said at this time, because the itinera-
ry of the trip has not been completed.
In conversation with friends the Pres
ident said that he wanted to visit the
states of the south in which he has
not been, and he had come to the con-
clusion the best time for him to do
so would be in October. Before he
left Washington, five weeks ago, the
Presidents intentions were to make
visit to the south in the spring of
1906, which he thought would be the
earliest time he could possibly get
away. Now, however, realizing what
fight there will be on a number of
important questions during the COM
ing session of congress, which is like
ly to be long one, he has come to
the conclusion that it would be better
for him to go before congress con-
venes. The states which the president
hopes and expects to include in his
itinerary are Louisiana, Alabama:
Georgia and North Carolina. His par
ticular object in visiting Georgia is to
make pilgrimage to the birthplace of
his mother at Roswell. He is also
particularly anxious to visit New Or
leans, and it is more than likely that
he will avail himself of the opportu-
nity to accept the invitation which
has been extended him by the people
IF the Crescent City.
