Of the country, is certain to lose its
fascination for the young women in

into great prominence through the
quick wit OF a local dealer and the
trial Of the famous grand opera
tenor, which recently occurred in New
York The fact that CarusO became
involved in his trouble Ia front Of the
monkey mouse gave a local dealer an
Idea. He took down his stock Of
bears, which had lined the front of
his windows and shelves, and placed
in front and in conspicuous places
all the monkeys he had in stock. He
labeled them "CarusO monkeys"

Cbe Aoe Of Invention
By Ella Wheeler Wilcox

The wonderful age of the world sing
The age of battery, coil and spring,
Of steam, and storage, and motored thing.
Tho faith may slumber and art seem dead,
And all that is spoken has once been said,
And all that is written were best unread.
Tho hearts are iron and thoughts are steel,
And all that has value is mercantile
Yet marvellous truths shall the age reveal
Aye, greater the marvels this age shall find
Than all the centuries left behind
When faith was bigot and art was blind
Oh, sorry the search of the world for gods,
Through faith that slaughters and art that lauds.
While reason sits on its throne and mods
But out of the leisure that men will know,
When the cruel things of the sad earth go,
Faith that is knowledge shall rise and grow
In the throb and whir of each new machine
Thinner is growing the veil between
The visible earth and the worlds unseen.
The True Religion shall leisure bring;
And Art shall awaken and Love shall sing;
Oh, ho for the age of the motored thing!

THREATEN DEATH
TO THAN COUNSEL
Clifford w. Hartridge Re-
ceiVeS an Ugly Letter
Signed "An Avenger."

NEW YORK, Dec. 8--Death threats
have been received by Clifford W. Hart
ridge. chief counsel for Harry K Thaw
accused OF the murder OF Stanford
White, the noted architect These
threats are directed both against Thaw.
in the event Of his acquittal, and
against HarUridge.
When Harry Thaw was apprised OF
the death threats received by his at
torney, while IN a consultation with
MIN in the TOmbs prison today, immedi-
ately desired HartFidge 10 place the
matter in the hands Of the police. Il
IS known, however, that Mr.. Hartridge
informed ThaW that he was not al all
worried by the letters; that he cOnsid-
cred that they were from cranks. and
that he was more afraid OF the per
sons who said nothing and acted with
out preliminary warning.
The latest death threat received by
Air. Hartridge came through tOdRy's
mail. II read as follows:
an Danger of Death"
"Mr. Hartridge, Mr.. Thaw's attorney:
Be very careful how you attempt 10 CON
duct this Thaw case. You are in danger
of death. Do not attempt 10 blacken
the memory Of any dead man. Ne viii
not stand for anything like that. If you
want 10 live. be careful Of your future
actions. We are following every move.
and We viii know when the time comes
TO act. AN ANENGER"
When Mr.. Hartridge was seen today
regarding the death threats. he laughed
and said:
I place no account upon these death
threat letters SOOthsayeTs. nina read
eFs. and faIliFs Of ever description have
visited my Offices with the intention OF
aiding me in the Thaw defense"
New Witness Found.
The startling fact became known to-
day that the Thaw defense has in its
possession the name of a resident of this
city who is willing TO go upon the wit
ness stand and declare that both Thaw
and Stanford White were armed on the
night of the tragedy in the roof garden.
and they both had anticipated a duel 10
the death. This man was closely ex-
amined by Thaw's attorneys. and il IS
possible that he may be called IN the
trial.
II can be authoritativeIy stated that
Harry Thaw is more determined than
ever 10 go before jury Of his peers and
ask acquittal for the killing of Stanford
White. He declared to his keepers to-
day in the Tombs that he was in excel
lent physical condition and wanted an
early trial.
Il certainly hope that my case can go
to trial IN January" he said TO one Of
the keepers. 7 am absolutely confident
that I shall go free"
