ANYTHING DRAWS CROWD.
City Man Is More inquisitive Than
His Country Cousin.

When the gentleman from the rural
district arrives at the city and saZes
in amaZement at tie high buildings
and looks with awe into the subway
he is Immediately set down as Rupe
with navseed in his hair and given the
merry laugh by the wise city guy,
who will then proceed down the street
and stand for nalf an hour on a curb
stone TO watch an automobiist initiate
punctured tire. or proceed to muir
der a perfectly good quarter of an
hour watching cook browning the
~heats in a restaurant window
For absolutely pure and undiluted
inquisitiveness you've got to hand 1t
To the city man. for he is right there
with the research stuff. He will poke
fun at his wife for her knowledge on
the subject Of the neighbours doings,
but he can show more genuine interest
in absolutely nothing than you can
imagine, and nothing out of the ordi-
nary run of things in city streets is
100 small to claim his attention.
He will let his dinner get cold any
day to watch a man sitting on the
mead Of a fallen horse or to stare into
IL
demonstrators is busily engaged whit
ting on stick of cordwood with a
razor.
He will send the shoestring vender
on his way before he has got his foot
fairly inside the threshold of the Office
door, but will stop upon the street
any time to listen TO the remarks of
another Vender, who is wildly demon
strating a patent collar button.
He is amused as a child with a new
toy When he can come across q brok-
en-doWn ice wagon or watch j man
laying gold letters upon store WIN
dow, and a policeman with a COM
lmon drunk win always get full
share of attention.
He will turn himself inside out to
get glimpse of Il picture carried I'M
der the arm of some citizen, which
picture he would never glance at were
it hung in some prominent place.
BY standing III q conspicuous place
and staring up into the air-.if one is
not hauled into court for drawing a
crowd and bloc6ing the street.-the can
arouse bunch of Boston curiosity
and any clever merchant can crowd
the sidewalk in front of his store by
having eight or ten people craning
their necks at the goods in his VIM
dow.
Many a visitor to Boston has been
badly stung by the simple tastes of
| the natives in the matter of something
lexcitirg. a stranger, coming up one
of the main thoroughfares and seeing
q crowd of 4 couple of hundred people,
| naturally looks for some sort of a cat
astrophe. and after working his way
to the center OF the crowd to see them
gazing at some new-fangled motor
cycle, or watching a laborer from a
manhole, is naturally chagrined.
When we come to look back and
| think of the fate which overcame a
| certain Mr. Lots wife for being of an
inquisitive turn If mind, we cannot
help but think that if similar things
should happen in these modern times
Boston could furnish enough salt for
! the entire world output.-Bostct~l

Gov. Woodrow Wilson S complete
personal supremacy in the New Jer
sey democratic state convention
which consisted of but 76 men under
the new system-may be regarded
with surprise by those who had re-
ceived the impression that he had
been given decided setback in the
recent primaries. The governor was
able to prevent an Endorsement Of
his presidential candidacy, it seems.
only by strong personal appeal to
the delegates to leave the future of
Wilson t the democrats of New
Jersey in the spring primaries It
was good politics even If it was
clever. The governo- is a democrat
and, If the people do not like him
we'll enough TO like him all winter
they will be given the opportunity
to reveal their feelings at an APP
proriate time before the national
convention is held.

If true, generalization:
Out of the teeming West have
come party schfsms successfully IN
quarter century. The granger
movement was pioneer. Populism
had its origin in the prairie states
ana fiourished conspicuously for
season. Free silver which led de-
mocracy captive, may have taken
root first in the mining camps, but

.sTHE ROSARY"

A modern play to be produced at
the Olympic Theatre next Saturday
is called THE Rosary" written by
Edward E. Rose and produced by the
well-known theatrical managers,
Messrs.. Rowland and Clifford.
Quietly ana modestly, witn no
blaze OF trnmpets, it projects a quiet
word into our turmoil of opinions;
which many believe will revolutionize
our ethics of marriage AMI divorce;
as an illustration The Rosary"
takes you into the heart of an Amer
lean home, such as our homes are
today. 1t shows peace and happi-
ness, then suddenly canker sore
| is unmasked-lack of faith in the
husband. Slowly, little by little, is
seen the devastating power of atne-
| ism, how it saps the strength and
breaks the will so that wnen doubt
and suspicion creep in they find fer
| tile soil for the Observation-Disclosures
| and revenge. Then comes the spirit
ual power Of a great mana priest
whose life is given to mankind;
slowly he analyses the situation and
| leads the husband and wife whom he
loves, out OF the darkness to happi-
ness and peace.

Cut to Death.

On Sunday afternoon tAe report
came to Wayne that Archy Pyles. the
is year old son of Valentine Pyles
had been stabbed to death by Rich
ard sanders, boy only 16 years of
age. Sanders and Pyles seem to
have gotten into dispute over the
ownership of certain dog. After
some discussion, anger was aroused
followed by several blows, during
which time Sanders drew his knife
and stabbed Pyles, one stroke of the
knife cutting his left arm near the
shoulder, and another penetrating
the left side near the heart, wtic
proved to be the fatal blow. Pyles
lived about five minutes after re-
ceiving the wound. Sanders escaped
AMI has not yet been apprehended.--

We're only waat might De expected.
No one questions his staunch Ameri-

issues where there ls2 room for an

serious students OF our national af-
fairs, the weight Of mis- influence
should be cast on the conservative
side The great church Of which he
lis an honored prelate represents au-

place in the Roman Catholic church

Aeroplane Guns
Will Be Tested at
Sandy Hook Soon

Tests of powerful aeroplane guns will
be made at Sandy Hook, n. j., within
two weeks. The Government Is build
ing number of sky-shooters there and
will try them out on big kites and ba'
looms.
Sergeant Idzereick, an expert on high
explosives, now az College Park, Md,
will be sent to Sandy Hook to make
observations of the guns when they are
tried out.
One gun that is being built now can
be shot at an angle IF 81 degrees. 1t
will hurl a ball 500 feet in the air,
which is higher than the average aero
plane goes at present.
The gun itself should be able to de-
stroy air craft. The chief obstacle 10
the destruction of an aeroplane feet
by one of these guns would be the
accuracy of the gunners. The average
aeroplane, at its lowest speed, moves
through the air at thirty miles an hour
and over. When az an altitude Of 3~u
feet or over, 1t appears but mere speck
IN the heavns. and a gunner would have
a hard time in sighting one, let alone
hitting it.
A number of attempts have been made
to devise a gun that would do the
work. but so far nothing really good
in this line has been made. One of the
cleverest experiments attempted was
two years ago at Sandy Hook. A shell
was invented which carried with 1t sew
eral knives. After the shell was dis
charged from the gun these knives
would unfold. The object in view was
with the aeroplane. the knives would
slash 1t to pieces But il was found
that a shell would not travel accurately
with knives, so the idea was given up.
