Gormly sank back in the luxurious
seat as the machine started once
more. with an expression of great re-
lief. He had said he was tired. No
wonder! The strain of three or four
months campaigning had been enough
to test his nerve and vitality to the
very limit He had enjoyed no oppor-
tunity for relaxation. The pace had

Miss Haldane Listens to Declaration.
For some distance the automobile
sped onward. Before one of the big
wholesale buildings on lower Broad
way, now entirely dark, 1t suddenly
stopped in obedience to a signal from
the tonneau. A hand was laid on
Gormly's shoulder, and voice he
knew and to which he thrilled spoke

Yachtlnq In olden Times.

Yachting was little INDUCED in I'M
til about hundred years ago. Owing
to the presence in British waters OF
the pirate cutters. sailing small YES
sells out OF sight of land was attended
with considerable fisk and most OF
the earlier yachts carried brass can-
non. The yachts built in England at
the beginning of the last century were
either on the lines of revenue cutters
or smugglers. The best of them were
built by Charles White. who would.
It is said, often lay down couple OF
clippers together. one for the govern
ment and the other as smugs.er He
would thus be able to obtain premi-
UNI from the government for making
the revenue cutter the faster vessel
of the two.

Keeps skirt Dry.

At the ends of yard of half-inch-

low the hips, and draw the skirts to
any desired height under a raincoat
This is useful, especially when one
must wear an evening dress in the
street on rainy night. 1t leaves the
hands free; and certainly 1t is better
than tearing the fabric with safety
pins.

CLEVER WITH HIS FINGERS
Negro Mall Distributor Could Tell
What Letters Contained Money,

sums OF money. have been taken from
the mails by Franklin B. Scott. me-
gro. a night distributor at the postof-
fee here. Scott had six unopened let
tiers In his pockets when arrested. the
officials say.
Scott was able to pick out letters
containing currency with astonishing
accuracy. His finger tips were alb
normally sensitive and he had trim
med his nails so that the nerves were
nearly exposed. It was his slender. Ia
pering fingers that led inspectors to
suspect him.

BOOKS FOR CITY OFFICIALS.

TT will help some to have a real municipal reference library occupy
the shelves Of the so-cdllcd City Library. The Board Of EST
= mate should meet the trustees of the New York Public Library
half way in their proposal to install such a collection in the City
Hall at an OUTLAY of not more than $4,000.
The library as at present conducted II called by the Commits
soner of Accounts something of a curiosity shop" So is the Board
OF Aldermen. Perhaps if the one institution II made over into
something modern and useful. the other will slough of some Of lis
pccularitics. Certainly the City Library can he put TO higher uses
than merely a. the repository OF old Dutch records and miscellaneous
department reports and as a rendezvous for district politicians and
constituents not of their inner circle.
Had the proper books been at hand it might not have been
possible for an Alderman to say to n Common Councilman when the
second house Of the city legislature was abolished n few years ago,
"G'wan. yer cmlcllshcl"' Nor would il have been necessary for
Mayor Low to interlard certain Of his messages TO the Aldermen with
proverbs and wise saws and write them down 10 what he conceived
10 be the Adcrmanic Intelligence. Nor would Mayor 'oynors eta
tons from Epictctus have seemed so much Of a political novelty.
For the sake of Mayor, Borough President, Aldermen and city
ohRcms generally it would be well to have for handy reference in the
City Hall a good collection Of modern books on municipal matters
here and abroad. II would tend at least TO assure the writing and
prompt publication Of better department reports. IT it included in
accessible form the results Of the Governors hccrings on the three
ousted Borough Presidents, of the Lcxow and Mazct Investigations.
and the insurance and gas inquiries, il might serve TO restrain as

DO PEOPLE REALLY CARE?

@EOPiE do not rare n rap about "thc high cost Of living"
They only think they do. Their representatives know better.
- If people really cared, the House would not pass n bill adding
from $40, 100000 to $1jOOOO0O a year to civil war pension charges.
1t would not promote the fortunes Of a bill to cNpcnd 100000 900 for
new public buildings. 1t would not stand ready, year after year, 70
pass River and liarbor bills approprating from $i0,ooOOOO to
$50, 600 900. mostly for projects forcdoomcd to failure. Nor would
Congress nulify every wcllcorsidcrcd programme to make army and
navy efficient because ii necessarily entails wipng out small army
posts and navy yards whose expenditures create a local trade.
DO the people care a rap about tariff revision or tariff "cxtor-
ton? Not unless Congress N mistaken. The Payne tariff revi-
sion was precipitatcd by the need Of more revenue, and IL increased
yearly revenues about $780, 900. The House has voted to take
this sum and as much more for pensions alone. II it passes n public
building act besides. it will devote to new objects Of expenditure Il sum
