LONDON FOR A QUIET LIFE.
Cows, NightIngaIes and Fowl Make
Country Too Noisy

Cows, NtghtingaIes and Fowl Make
Country Too Noisy.
There is only one spot on earth where
the jaded spirit. weary of the rush and
noise and hustle of modern life, can
find true peace and perfect quiet 1t Is
known as London Town. What with
cows, dogs, poultry, motor cars and
nightlngales the country nowadays is
such an uproarious pandemonium that
only a deaf man or an artillerist can
live there in comfort, says the London
Daily News.
Such were the arguments which Dr..
Robinson, town clerk of Shoreditch, ad-
vanced when G. S. d. Murray conclud-
ed his inquiry on behalf of the charity
commissioners into the application OF
the Ironmongers' company to remove
their almshouSes from Kingsland road,
Shoreditch.
It has been suggested, DR.. Robinson
said, that the old ladies in the aims
houses were disturbed by the noise In
the district, but probably the site was
always noisy. The coaches going to
York in the old days made quite as
much noise as any London county coun-
ell tram car did to-day. If the old la
dies thought they were going to escape
noise by removing to the country they
would be bitterly disappointed.
He lived In the country himself and
he was often awakened at 1 o'clock in
the morning by the passing of an old
wheeling, croaking motor car belong
ing to his majesty's postOffice If peo-
pie wanted to know what dust and
noise and stink meant, let them go into
the country, where there was no po-
lice commissioner to stop motor omni-
buses from carrying on their Internal
traffic
To take only one night Of his life,
there was corncrake rasping outside
his door till 10 o'clock Then he was
awakened by a Nightingale bird
which made music for quarter Of an
hour, but became troublesome when 1t
sung for two hours. When that ceased
a cow began believing and then a dog
heard the local policeman walking
down the street and parked for an
! hour At dawn the birds began again.
London was the one place where peO-
| pie could get rest from such noises.

Shocked the Purchases.

One would not imagine that a little
thing like fastening the right side Of a
kimono on the left side of that garment
meant much to the little brown people
in the land Of the cherry blossom. But
It does. A woman who was trying on
an deliberately embroidered kimono In
a New York Japanese bazaar wrapped
the sllken folds on the wrong side.
When the little Jap saw 1t he let out
a yell that gave the purchaser an awful
shock. Then he explained that In the
country where the garment constitutes
the conventional female dress there Is
but one occasion upon which they may
be draped In the way the prospective
buyer had hers-"that Is" he said with
much solemnity, when the wearer g
laid out for burial. At all other times"
said he, "the klmono Is arranged with
the left side over the right-like Amer
lean mems coats"

Punch and Judy Shows Captivate

Post. From the time 1t can walk it Is

sands OF little minds have been capti-
waited by the same old story, told in the
same old way. OF late, however, the
traditional one has been replaced by
new story and the Guignol near Marig-
ny copies the ideas Of that famous
place; 1t is more OF a dolls variety
show than anything else.
Clowns come out and knock each
other down to the tunes Of the ton
kinoise, dressed-up dancers perform
some fancy steps, just like the live
ones at the cafe concert. Are the chill
dren more blase on this side of the
river than on the other? Or is 1t be-
cause the plot is different2 They re-
spond less here than on the Rive
Gauche. There is nothing like the Lux
embourg if you want to see a good old
GuignOl.

Thackeray's favorite poets were
Goldsmith and the sweet lyric sing
ers," Prior, whom he thought the easI-
est, the richest, the most charmingly
humorous of English lyrical poets, and
Cay, the force Of whose simple melody
and artless ringing laughter he appre-
ciated. He admired Pope, too; but
while admitting Millions greatness,
thought him "such bore that no one
could read him." 1t is not surprising,
therefore, that Thackeray never IS
sayed the 'big bOw-wow kind Of
poetry.

that upon discovery of the authors,

fore representative Brooklyn audi
sence at Plymouth church Monday,
Secretary Taft expressed an optimis-
tic conviction concerning the future
of the colored race in the United
States. After presenting an array Of
statistics to show the progress of the
American negro since the day of free
dom, the secretary declared that this
growth in intellect, Tearing and indus
try must continue. Fear of the negro
domination in the south was, he said
a nightmare of the past. With the
advantage of education and opportun.
ity the colorsd population would take
its proper place in the political affairs
Of the nation.
The occasion of the secretarys
speech was a meeting under the aus.
pf-es of the Armstrong association
and in the interests of Hampton In
stitute of Virginia. The historic edi
fee was crowded to the doors and
