Henry James ON Race Suicide.

Henry James does not agree with
Colonel Roosevelt on the question Of
large families. Small families, such
as prevail in France, indicate, to Mr..
James mind, intelligence and pro-

the reverse.
Large families are so embarrass-
ing, too said Mr. James, on his last
American visit II once knew a man
named Thompson who had fourteen
children. Thompson agreed, one
spring holiday, to take his children
to the seashore for the weekend.
They set off, reached the station,
got their tickets and were about to
board the train when Thompson was
roughly collared by policeman.

UNIQUE DOOR KNOCKERS.


f. There is fancy now for collect
ing old door knockers such as our
ancestors delighted in before the day
of electric buttons.
So popular has become this knock

ers are reproducing famous knock
ers of Colonial and earlier dates.
1t adds zest to ramble in old
parts of a city or to motoring in
country districts to be on the look
out for knockers of former days. The
eagle was favorite model for early
American knockers, also grotesque
heads and weird animals from whose
mouths hung rings to serve for
arousing the household.
Many historic knockers Of England
and America have been copied for
modern houses, among them the fam

 Plot for a Melodrama

Hidden in the account of the har- ness races at Grand Rapids recently is a story such as the playwrights use for their sporting melodramas. Ed Geers, the famous driver. was unable to drive, owing to an injury the day before so Frank G. Jones. a Millionaire, of Memphis. Tenn, who owns the string Geers pilots. took the reins. He piloted Dudie Archdale into number one for the $l0,000 stake race, and landed The Abbe first in the 2:1G class. For the newspaper. however, the romance is dulled q tri- lie by the knowledge of the fact that Jones has always been known as one of the finest amateur drivers in the country. Dudie Archdale is a black mare and Geers figures that he will sweep the Grand Circuit with her
