BONUS FOR A CHAUFFEUR.
Ono Auto Driver Gets 10000 SALARY
II No Mishap Occurs.


Be chauffeur and earn $4,000 a
year was the brilliant future held out
to tha members of the Automobile Club
Of America the other night at their
meeting in New York. There may be
heaps Of money in the plain, ordinary
automobile business, but the road of
the chauffeur is lined with roses, fig
uratively, and with gold, literally, ac-
cording to the statements made during
an Interesting and at times humorous
discussion on he subjects of garages
and chauffeurs, says the New York
Times.
Albert r. Shattuck, ex-president of
the club, who presided, was never in
better story telling humor, but he cap
ped the climax when toward the close
of the talk he said:
"It is true that many chauffeurs are
getting far more than they deserve
Why, know of man In this city who
pays his chquffeur $3.50 month, and
then If his machine runs all night he
gives him $3.50 more.''
A gasp of astonishment spread over
the faces of the hearers, and. to record
the truth. there were looks of envy,
wonderfully suggestive of new appli-
cations today as smooth drivers Of mo-
tpe cars.

Curious Law. That Prevailed In the

The Florentine republic had n unique
method OF dealing with It's too ardent
democrats. In 1898 the state passed
the famous Magma Chartn OF Flor
ence," TO curb the cruelty and rapnclty
OF the lnwless mobiles. who. In defiance
of the law courts. were accustomed TO
fiog and torture their dependents ut
will. The act practically DISTINGUISHED
these titled hnrples by clause which
excluded them from the Hignory-a
body In the state corresponding to the
British cublnet-unless they renouncci
their nobility.
This curious provision prepared the
way for n still more extraordinary
clause. which enacted that any member
Of the democratic party who made
himself obnoxious TO the government
and was by them declared TO be guilty
OF treason to the commonwealth should
be given patent OF nobility and thus
