not to do the things. OF course such mortals
are so favored by virtue Of the fact that they almost
always unswerviugly do the right and do Il in finer
and higher ways than other men. So Daylight,
elder hero In that young land and ut the same time
younger than most Of them, moved as a creature
apart, as a man above men, as man who was
greatly man and all man. And small wonder Il
was that the Virgin yielded herself 10 his arms as
they danced dance after dance and sick heart

than good friend and an excellent dancer. Small
consolation it TO know that he had never loved
any woman. She sick with love Of him. and ne

HE BLAMES AUTOMOBILES.
Ex-GOv. Brown Predicts That They

Automobiles will cause panic il
Frank Brown last week, and then he
proceeded to pile up complaints
against them.
There are about 5000 automobiles
in Maryland" he continued, land they
cost nearly $20,OOO,OOO. 1t costs about
100000 year to maintain them
money gone to waste, scattered to the
winds. It's sure to have an effect yet
There will be panic and the people
will wake up to find that the money
they have wasted in automobiles has
deprived them Of funds they need.
IT could keep four horses and two
men on the box for what 1T costs me
to maintain a machine, not to men
ton buying one. And yet if every
body who owned an automobile drove
a four-horse team and had two men
on the box when he drove out Of
Baltimore would think we had a lot
of lunatics.
People are moving to the country
because the darn things can take them
empty houses in town. And again a
lot of people who can't afford it are
running machines and the little shop
keepers are suffering. People are not
buying as much, eating as much or
wearing as much. They are, crazy,
fascinated, hypnotiZed by these intern
al things.

people, chasing around here and there
