Madison Square Garden r. again on the
bargain counter. u has been of and on
the market for over twenty wears with
out a buyer. When completed and open
for business in 1889 the structure and
equipment had cost the owners 100000.
II can be bought today for ts.500OH.
Thus" says the New York Commercial.
the phenomenal spectacle Is presented OF
plot containing thirty-two lots in the
very heart Of New York city and COW
cred by an expensive structure gaining
only 100000 or 1888 per cent in value in
twenty-five years. Had the plot never
been built upon at all, these thirty two
vacant city lots would no doubt be worth
themselves around 100000 today. II Is
the steadily losing venture through TWEEN
ty-two years and the fact that whoever
buys the property now must raze the
garden and erect something else in It's
place before the investment can be made
to pay that operate to keep the valuation
down. In all probability Madison Square
Garden Is doomed-it must go" As Il
stands, 1t Is monument TO the public
spirit OF few patriotic citizens who have
been unwilling to see New York City with
out a public hall adequate for holding the
largest gathering Of people and equipped
for holding the most pretentious smuse-

Whenever I get out Of a train at the

Sun. Ever since 1 was child one Of
the pleasures Of a railroad journey was
to look over the locomotive which had
been pulling my train, but somehow
don't get this pleasure out Of the cleo
trio motor.
The trouble with the motor seems to be
that it's too businesslike It is plain and
prosaic beside the old locomotive. Why.
you can't even see the driving wheels. and
might as we'll be looking at a huge SOAP
box for all the interesting parts you can
see.
From habit, I suppose, 4 always look
to see what's been pulling me when I
finish a railroad ride. but when ] see one
OF these motors at the Pennsylvania sta
ton l sigh for the old locomotive It has
displaced. The motor doesn't make a
sound after 1t gets in. Just as though II
had been no exertion at all to puff you
under the river. but how different the
locomotive! You always find II painting
away like some living being getting it's
breath, as 1t were. Then there's the en-
gineer leaning out Of his cab window
watching the traveller leave his train. the
Ntalizer OF the whole thing. You don't
feel so drawn to the motorman somehow.
DOUBTLESS the motor is the superior Of
the locomotive in many ways, but It never

ing seems to have gone some of the

EFFECTIVE TEAR OF COURTING
DAYS USELESS AFTER MARRIAGE

More men are driven out of their homes
by tears than by laughter, and to i'm
agine because a man gives way to an
outburst of temper he has necessarily
ceased to love his wife is silly and IRA
tional. for 1t is merely the action Of a
safety valve, and after all superfluous
steam has escaped he will be as con-
tented as possible.
Only remember that all men are
martyrs to some grievance or other, and
after a particularly violent outburst it
is wiser not to be too incisive in your
reminders of that fact that he had for
gotten his manners a few hours previ-
ously.
Man is creature of habit. 1t is a
mistake to imagine, as many people do
that he is an erratic, unstable animal
Tor he is quite the reverse Marriage
is also a habit-it is this that keeps
people together very often after romance
AID passion have died out, and is the
reason why widows and Tidowers seldom
remain long in single blessedness.
Therefore. If one particular woman once
makes herself into habit she need
have no fear of being superseded for
more than few hours. If at all. by any
other woman. So many women make
the mistake OF trying to force their man.

For the bride, the sweet girl graduate,
or the pretty miss whose birthday falls
on these spring days there is no daintier
or more appropriate gift than one of
the many lovely fans that are now seen
on every side.
The vogue for wearing long jeweled
chains has brought out quaint little
fans like butterflies OF very small bird
feathers with jeweled handles for the
evenings. and also tiny folding fans with
vanity boxes set in the end.
Larger and more effective are the new
black and white fans OF bespangled net
with 1elicate traceries Of silver thread
forming orchid designs upon them. or
