corners formed by the junction Of

viously paid for New York realty was
$500 a square foot for the corner of
wall street and Broadway. In view OF
the rate at which property in this sec

This at least is the estimate of one OF
the leading men in the automobile

from the inability of manufacturers to
keep pace with the demand. The west
is now buying more automobiles than
the east, according to this authority
and is insisting upon high grade cars,
Some manufacturers who shipped
large numbers Of low priced cars into
the middle west thinking that these
cars would find a ready sale there
have been forced to reship them to
eastern towns and cities where they
have been cold.

 Many people all over the world know the statuesque figure of knight in shining armor which occu- pies a corner of the third room in the metropolitan museum. Hundreds have approached the circle of railings which surrounds it, have gazed, ad- mired, and come away; but only to three persons in the world is its se- cret known. I make no attempt to ex- plain the mystery-in all human prob ability it will ever remain unraveled. Various theories have been broached by those who came into relation with it; I leave the reader to form his own.
 Following an evening with my friend the sculptor Foulard, I put in an appearance at the studio the next
 ming not long after nine o'clock.
 ight before Foulard had told me
