The passenger traffic between the
United States and Europe continues to
offer most alluring inducements. Many
of the big companies are adding the
newest, largest and swiftest vessels to
their fleets One of the latest launch
ings is that of ship that Is being
built by French line, to run to New
York. This is one of the greatest craft
yet completed, and when put in COM
mission will be able to carry 1920 pas
sengers. The total cost will be about
$5,000,000 That is what foreign con-
Germs are doing to get American trade.
And Americans permit them to mo-
nopOlize a business that should be in
American control and which should
be most important auxiliary in ex-
tending American commerce.

IL RevoIted Him.

William Loeb, Jr., at a dinner in
New York, referred with a smile to
the harsher penalties, even to impris-
onment, that are now to be inflicted
upon smugglers.
"They take it hard. very hard, these
Bmugglers," said Mr. Loeb. "Revolted
at the size of their lines, they make
me think of George White, the chick
en- thief.
WHAT George shouted reproach-
fully on hearing his sentence. What!
Ten dollars for stealth that chicken
Why, judge, could a. bought q
smarter hen for SO cents!'"

Hardly a Compliment.

In the excitement of the moment
public speakers often say the opposite
of what they mean to convey, and
when Henry Irving gave a reading in
the Ulster hall, in 1873" says Bran
Stoker, in Personal "reminiscences
of Henry Irving" lone speaker made
as pretty an Irish bull as could be
found. though the bull is generally sup
posed to belong to other provinces
than the hard-headed Ulster. In des-
canting on the many virtues of the
guest of the evening he mentioned the
excellence of his moral nature and rect
itude of his private life in these
terms: "Mr. Irving. sir, is a gentle
man what leads a life of unbroken
blemish.'"

One of the prettiest corners OF O
certain girls garden is that in which
every plant has been the gift of some
special friend. The sweet old-fashion-
ed flowers that bloom there have thus
a double significance, and their owner
persuades herself that while they
flourish she may be very sure that
she is not forgotten. A fragrant
clump of pinks was set in place by
her dearest school friend, and now
that this friend is living abroad she
likes to think that every breath OF
perfume brings her a kindly thought
of her old chum. A garden of friend
ship is a pretty fancy, and one that
gives lasting pleasure.

From London comes the announce
ment of the death of the woman who
claimed to be the original of Little
Dorrit," that famous character of
Dickens. The lady was entitled to the
benefit of the doubt, but it is fact
that similar claims have been made by
others. 1t is also asserted that a
brother of the woman who has just
died was the original Tiny Tim," and
that he served in part as the model for
Paul Dombey" If all those asser-
tions can be proved it would seem
that the family formed sort of trust
for Dickens characters.

COUCH OF LUXURY.

The most perfect resting place ever
devised for human being is just be-
meath the roof, and then you must be
able to see the single nails sticking
through. II gentle rain be falling,
so much the better. Five minutes
spent in that sweet retreat are enough
to Danish the memory of every trouble.
Debt and death lose their terrors, and
the peace that passes understanding
comes upon you, says the Washington
Post. You become boy again and
enter once more into the world that
used to be. Soon the dark corners of
the room are peopled with the images
of childhood. Over where the old
clothes are hanging you can see the
outlines of q dismantled ship, while
down the sandy shore come Robinson
Crusoe and Man Friday. A swarthy
face peeps from behind the big trunk.
It is Faringhea, the stranger, creep
ing stealthily upon his victim. Fast

ing, some ferocious. You welcome
them all and are not bit afraid, and
the rain drips, drips, with steady,
m onotonous sound. Then comes a
blank. Next mGSning the spell is
broken, but the memory remains. You
see the old clothes and the trunk, and
find that the only gobelin tapestry in
the room is a cluster of cobwebs over
the little dormer window. But you
had slept the sleep of the just, and
found it most refreshing.

QUIET RESTORED IN MEXICO
One American Is Killed, Another
Wounded During Fighting at Par
raI-Insurrectos Wreck Train.

Ell Paso, Tex.-Passengers on a
train from Mexico Friday brought the
report that an American named
Storey was wounded in the Parral
fighting at the same time that Thomas
Lawson, an American, was accidental
1y killed.
All was quiet between Ell Paso and
Mexico City when the train came
through, according to passengers. All
the telegraph wires were in operation
and there was no fighting.
Passengers from Parral declared
there was no fighting there, and the
troops reported as passing through
'rorreon ito quell rioting at Parral"
were merely reinforcements and were
not for maintaining order at Parral.

English owners of homing pigeons
have lost so many of them this season
that they believe there is an especial
cause. This cause, many of them are
inclined to suspect, is wireless telegra-
ply. Many will dismiss the indict-
ment as fanciful, on account of the
comparative weakness of the current
which wireless telegraphy brings into
play. The answer to this is that the
current does not kill the birds, but
only confuses them, causing them to
miss their way. If the Marconi cur
rent affects pigeons, why not gulls?
indeed, it would seem not impossible
that wireless telegraph stations may
be the means of greater disaster to
gulls than lighthouses.

GRANT WANTS A BIG ARMY
General Favors System of Conscrip-
ton to Raise Military Efficiency
Sees Benefit to Nation.

New York-In order to bring
this country up to the military
standard of the European powers Maj
Gen. Frederick D. Grant, commander
of the department of the east, is in
favor of inaugurating a system Of con.
scription In the United States.
He thinks the plan would not in
crease the army expense more than so
per cent, as there are sufficient bar
racks and equipment now on hand to
accommodate the new forces, and he
believes the respect engendered for
law would put an end to mob out
RACES and lessen crime in america.
"By increasing our army to $780,
OO0," General Grant said, 1--WE could
in a few years have among the peo-
pie engaged in peaceful and gainful
occupations 100000 men trained to
the military service. The present au-
thoriZed strength of our army is 1907
900, but we have actually in the serv-
ice only about $4,000 men, because
congress has refused to make the ap-
preparations needed.
In the execution Of his scheme, Gen
eral Grant would divide the country
into military districts and require
each district to provide the enlarged
army every year with a quota of re-
cruits to be determined by the mill
tary authorities, based upon popula-
ton.
"As 1 estimate it, such an increase
in the size of the army would not in
crease its cost so per cent. In round
figures the present cost of the army
is $123,000,000 The addition of $780,
600 men probably would not run the
cost up to more than 100000, 0O0,"
he said

on the part of the governments prose
cutor, Magistrate Derutzen insisted on
imposing fines, declaring that mercy
merely encouraged the women to
fresh riots.
The home office has not forgotten
the last batch of suffragettes sent to
jail and the scandal that was caused.
The women refused to eat, and the
prison officials used stomach pumps
and other mechanical means to force
food into them to keep them alive.
Several women nearly died. All had
to be pardoned by the home secretary
before their terms expired.

The usual fate OF get-rich-quick
schemes is collapse at the end. And
the lambs" are f1eeced as a prelim-
mary. A speculative scheme of this
kind in Connecticut has brought up
in the bankruptcy court, with unse-
cured claims of 100000 to be set
tied. And the further sequel no doubt
will be the charging of the sum to
the profit and loss account of those
foolish enough to invest"

Perhaps if the truth were known
considerable proportion of the so
called automobile accidents" would
be found to have resulted from be-
fuddled heads and unsteady nerves.
The menace of a man under the in
fiuence of liquor and in an automobile
is easily appreciated, and when it is
demonstrated that crashes on the
road are due to drunkenness the pun
ishment should be severe. Those who
insist upon running amuck on the
highways should be made to pay a
heavy penalty, whether they be sober
or drunk.
