Automobiles are said to skid on
smooth pavements and macadamized
roads when turning corners at full
speed. So would hay and coal wag-
ons skid if they were driven around
corners at the same speed, contends
the Pittsburg Dispatch. But the driv-
ers of those vehicles who do that
are arrested, which stops the skidding.
Napoleon inspired the love of wo-
men, says a suffragette in speech
in Chicago, "but you cannot say so
much of Washington" Still, con-
tends the Louisville Courier-Journal,
that majestic monument which rises
above even the imposing Ways and
Means Committee might never have
pierced the sky if Washington had
been known as the lady killer of his
country instead of it's father.
According to Turkish newspaper
of 1876, William E. Gladstone was
born in 1896. For father he had a Bull
garian. His gluttony for gold made
him yellow. He was of medium hight,
his whiskers were cropped close to
his face, and "as a sign of his satanic
spirit his forehead and upper fore
head were bare. HisS evil temper has

dition of roads will permit, by the
use of motor bicycles and automobiles.
This, observes the Philadelphia Rec
ord, is an innovation in the public in

greatly importance. Such regulation
would give great impetus to the con-
struction of motors intended for SER
vice rather than display

Then, with both poles inspected, the
next thing will be to civilize them, so
to say-put them, if possible, to some
practical account. The age is pre-emi-
nently that of utility. Every rivulet
must turn wheel. Is there any use
to which those frozen regions may be
nut? The first thing, of course,
must be improving the means of reach
ing them, and that in turn will play
upon the general question of travel,
by air as we'll as by land and sea.
