pears in the September Atlantic. Her
theory is that in nine divorce cases out
of ten, the wife is to blame because with
her marriage is the greatest duty and
work in life. while of necessity with the
husband business or profess on divides his
interest. Ms. Rogers holds that Ameri-
can women are overfed. overdressed and
override. The frantic and extensive shop
ping noticed in our large cities, the ue-
votion to personal vanitles, and the gem
eral, extravaganza of living are all signs
that making a home and dwelling therein
does not fill the modern woman's hodfs.
AS the writer nersel. is a woman. the
article exhibits a peculiar sympathy;
morevore, it is, in the main, optimistic. 1T

In the October issue of the Peoples
Magazine, which is now on the stands,
Alex Irvine has a story of slum life la
New York which is worthy of attention.
1t has been learned that the story is
founded upon true episodes which came
under the attention of the author. The
attempt of sincere and manly evan
gelist to instill something of his godly
viewpoint into well nigh irredeemable
slum character is graphically described.
The story is worth reading, not only as
story, but also as study in contem-
porary sociology. This, however, is only
one of more than twenty short stories
which, with complete novel and a de-
partment devoted to the review of cur
rent theatrical productions, make up the
large bulk of the Peoples for October.

An Old limo Alderman.

Several patrons of the restaurant at
Broadway and Tenth street were lunch
ing there few days ago, seated at u
table between the corner windows on
the second floor which commanded a
fine view down Broadway, which
makes a sharp turn at Tenth street.
Said one of them: DO you know that
this bend in Broadway was made in
order to save a tree? Well. 1t was. AS
originally planned, Broadway would
have cut a slice of the lawn of Hen
dirk Brevoort, who ran tavern in
the Dutch farmhouse which stood
where Grace church now is. He was
an alderman, like many of his profess
sion today, and not only succeeded in
saving the magnificent tree in the
shade of which his customers fingered
over their pipes to watch the traffic on
Bloomingdale road, but about 1910 al

street from Fourth avenue to Broad
way, which would have necessttated
the tearing down OF his tavern."-New

The Story Of q Word.

A comparison of old editions of
SCOTS Monastery" with one of later
date will reveal a slight alteration in
the text of a sentence in the tenth
chapter. For the word morse" an
other is substituted. A tale Of comedy
attaches to the word which has gone.
Hardened wretch" says Father Eus-
tace, art thou but this instant deliv-
cred from death, and dost thou so soon
morse thoughts of slaughter" The
origin of the word morse seems sore
ly to have troubled the etymologists.
Two learned correspondents of Notes
and Queries, Mr.. Wheatley tells u.s.,
accounted for the word. One explain
ed it as "to prime" as when one primes
musket, from o. FIR. "amorce," pow
der for the touchhole (COtgrave), and
the other by 'to bite" Uat. "mordere'')
hence ito indulge in biting, singing
or gnawing thoughts of slaughter" On
the other side were those who said that
the word was a misprint for something
else. THAT the word as a misprint
should have been printed and read by
millions for fifty years without being
challenged and altered exceeds the
bounds of probability" exclaimed the
apologists for morse. But when the
manuscriptwas examined there nurse"
was the word, plainly written.-St

HoMEsEEkERs' EXCURSIONS.

The last Of the honeseekers and
colonist excursions to western states
at the old rates has been run. The
Western and Southwestern Passenger
associations have come to an agree
ment whereby the excursions are con-
tinued twice a month as has been the
custom in the past. The new sched-
ule of rates makes the fare almost
equivalent to . cents mile both ways
and is an increase Of about s. to west
ern and southwestern points. Local
railroads have done a good homeseek-
ers' and colonist business during the
year. Many Richmond and Wayne
county people have taken advantage
of the rates. Owing to the fact that
as Yell as other points in this section
Of the country have opened to con-
siderable extent, the regular cheap
rates to California points have been
withdrawn and the regular fare will
be charged to and from the western
coast The summer rates are always
much lower than those in vogue dur
ing the winter.
