There ought to be a law (yep, there

That's the way we fret and fume and

d ICHARD HARDING DAVIS, the nov.
~ eist, is here.
Now, it has become the habit, in con.
siderable section of the slightly very
slightly funnyistical press to couple the
announcement that Richard Harding
Davis is here there or anywhere with a
large amount of rather dreary and incon-
sequent Kidding
1t often has occurred to the present
writer during the past few years, that
Mr. Davis has been the victim of a whole
lot too much of this sort of cutting stuff.
He is no longer what YOU could properly
call a quite young man, and there ism
the slightest doubt that he has OutgrOWn
all of the bOyish eccentricitieS. none Of
which ever was anything less than ami
able which, as far back as fifteen years
ago, or perhaps more. brought upon him
the volleys of the pert photographers
and the professional jOkesmiths all over
the country.
The gang of hammersmiths began to
pick on Richard Harding Davis a bout the
time when Charles Dana Gibson was IL
lustra ting Mr.. Davis books. Mr.. Gibson
had sort OF fancy for ma king the hero
of Davis book look just like Davis him
self. This, despite the knockers. never
was any of Mr.. Davis doing. He never
was and never could have been such a
lightweight as to have instructed the il
illustrator to use his. Davis, lineaments in
depicting the heroes of the Davis stories.
But the bouder-heavers jumped to the
distinctly silly conclusion that Richard
Harding Davis. moved by the elephantia-
sis of the top piece with which he unjustly
was accused of possessing, had instructed

Nothing whatsoever does it boot to her
that in the course Of about eight squares
Of baby-carriage pushing she forces on
big days, as many as 1854 walking bu-
chairs to fatty deviate from their right
full and legal course and go around her
and her baby carriage.
She doesn't care one solitary little boot
for that boot.
She wants, for some impenetrable and
mystifying reason, to push the baby car
riage on the wrong side of the Board
walk. and that settles it; all other bets
are off; all other considerations are can
celed: all consideration Of the comfort or
ethical rights of the tens Of thousands
of other persons on the Boardwalk Is
forthwith and incontinently passed up.
The woman pushing the baby carriage is
goana push that baby carriage on the
wrong side, whether all of the rest of
the human beings on the globe like it or
not: and if they don't like it, why, they
can lump it.
There isn't the slightest use on earth
to gently intimate to her that it's her
business to get over on the other side
Of the line and thus float with the stream

you do that, she simply looks up with a
steely glitter of defiance in her venge-
full orbs, and she, too. comes to a stock

is wrong. and. she knows she is wrong:
