ADRIFT WITH THE TIMES

T IS estimated that there are 100000 au-
tomobiles In use, valued at a figure
1 approximating s2oo,ooo0OO. It would be
interesting to compile statistics showing
how many of these wagons are stained
with human gore, how many behave
themselves in a country lane and the vol
ume of odor in cubic yards which they
emit in the course of a year.
HAPPINESS
Oftimes, the chap
Who spends his days
In seeking out
The pleasant ways,
PerceiVes too late
That what he ought
To have in life
Can not be bought
It's not for sale
It's not a fad,
It's just the art
of being glad.
And one who has
A beggar's lot
May teach a king,
AS like as not.

AS usual in election times, the vote
in the direct primaries this forenoon
and afternoon is light. The republi-
cans are showing some interest in tn
fight for mayor and marshal and in one
or two wards the scraps are developing
over the choice of councilmen. The
saloon element is showing up strong in
the race for chief Of police and
more of a fight between Davis and
Criffield than Davis and Brown.
The democrats are taking little or no
interest in the primaries as their tick
