Sin is Sexless.
Dollars may build a palace but love
makes home.
You get good out OF life only as
you put good into it.
Satan never takes a vacation nor
puts on an nnderstudy.
Immediately after the holiday peo-
pie begin to long for spring.
The testimony of the heart is not
always best given by the mouth.
The older we get the shorter
grows the night before the Fourth.
A phOnograph talks good deal,
but you can, at least, change the re-
cords.
Most of us city fellows find it easy
to work Il garden till the weeds begin
to grow.
Don't it beat all how big a little
cottage seems when the children are
all visiting grandma!
Some people imagine that philan-
thropy consists in giving a collar
button to a shirtless man.
Inquiry will develop the fact that
when a man can be hypnOtized to dc
a thing he wanted to do it anyway.
When some women entertain
they work SO hard that you can't en-
Joy yourself for feeling sorry for
them.
One reason why woman should
not be hostess too often is that sc
many prOvOcatiOnS arise for hostess
to say Damn.
1t takes a mighty big firecracker
these days to make as much noise as
the little crackers made thirty or
forty years ago.
1t was because our revolutionary
sires were not afraid of noise that we
are permitted tocelebrate the Fourth
with cannons and crackers.
When a man starts out with II

for it, you can depend on it that
credit is just what he is seeking.
1t is a wonder men are as good as
they are, considering that almost
every man starts every day of his
life by swearing at the alarm clock.
When we meet a lean, cross, busy,
nervous woman, we always know,
what she thinks of the men. Only
fat, contented women care much for
the men.

4 NOnLNAL DISTINCTION

The Brooklyn Eagle" in a dispatch from the
country home of Justice Caynor says that one
thing which vexeS him is 1.-The persistency with
which many persons assume that Tammany
Hall selects the entire city ticket Ii is pointed
out that Tammany. strictly speaking, merely
makes up its local ticket, just the Democrats
"of this borough nominate their county ticket
The Democrats Of the city of greater New
York. embracing FIVE boroughs, select the city
ticket"
Nominally it is the Democratic convention
practically it Is a Tammany convention. Tam
many is always in undisputed control of it and
will be again this year. Tammany has the
largest group of delegates, every one from two
of the five boroughs-mOre than half the con-
vention. 1t always controls some of the dele
gates from Brooklyn and is in working alliance
with the leaders of Queens and Richmond.
If Justice Gaynor is nominated by the Demo
cratic City Convention it will be because he
is Tamnany's candidate 1t will he because
Murphy has seen fit for motives of his own
to take him up, and will not be against the
wishes Of the boss The only considerable Op-
position in the city convention. to Tammany is
that of Senator McCarren. and Justice Gaynor
could not conceivably be NlcCarren's choice for
Mayor Several elections have been held since
the consolidation of the city: every Democratic
candidate for Mayor has been popularity and
truthfully recognized as ''Tammany's candi-
date" and Justice Gaynor. if he is similarly
nominated. will not be able to. escape that char
acterization. His attitude on the stump will
prove that he feels the obligation of his posi-
ton Tammany's candidate. The same dis
patch IN The Eagle" to which we have already
referred says that, if the judge runs "he will
give his views on the selfishness of grasping
politicians, the scramble for Office and po-
''litical plunder, the records and antecedents
"of certain prominent leaders and kindred
topics We venture the prediction that if he
is nominated in the way he apparently hopes
To be he will not see such a distinction between
the Democratic party of the city and Tam

The figures that Mr. c. c. Mccain, chairman of
the Trunk Line Association, presented to the
public the other day TO show the need of an IN
crease OF railroad rates would he more con-
viDcng if they We're more complete. Mr. Nc
Gains thesis is that rates during ten wears
have remained practically unchanged. while
the purchasing power of the money earned
through them has decreased. Moreover ex-
penses have increased. Therefore the need of
raising rates to meet this situation But the
premises are not enough to justify the conclu
sion. Though the purchasing power Of money
has declined-that is, the price Of commodities
has risen-and though rates may have re-
maned constant total earnings may still have
increased sufficiently to preclude the necessity
of an advance In rates.
Reduced TO its simplest terms. Mr. McCain's
argument Is that railroad rates have really de.
clined since 1897, though nominally the same.

Then just he about to rise he furtively
passed his hand over to the dime in front of his
former neighbOr's plate and moved il 20 a position in
front of his own. He then walked hastily out The
waiter a moment later picked up the dime, noting
before whose plate it was, and cleaned away the
dishes, mumblinS the while. Now the former col
