CRUSOE IN MANHATTAN.

Another reason why an English man is apt to tire of New York with unexpected rapidity is the curious isolation of the city. One feels in New York singularly cut off from the rest of the world and not least from the rest of America. Personal ly 1 confess l never really regard myself as in the United States until New York Is left behind and 1 am free of its atmosphere of concen-
 rated self suficiency. A Lon doner who is used to being at the center of things and watching be- meath his very eyes the convergence of a thousand worldwide interests not only feels in New York that he has been banished to the outer cir conference, but feels also that he has left England without really reaching America.-From the narrative of a revisiting Englishman in Harpers Weekly.

THE CAR AND THE HIGHWAY.

Nothing has given so forceful an impetus to the movement for road building as the automobile" writes Thaddeus s. Dayton in Harper's Weekly. Millions of dollars are be- ing spent upon state roads. '0The time is not far distant when the fed sral government will step in and aid in their construction. There is a bill before congress for an ocean-to-ocean highway, which shall have a right of way a mile wide. The highway proper is to be 1,430 feet wide. Along this will be roads with a macadam surface, steel tracks for electric cars, steel-plate tracks for fast automobiles, and cement ways for motor cars going less than twen- ty-fve miles an hour. It is planned to have this highway follow the thir- ty-ffth parallel of latitude"

RAvAGEs OF FOREST FIRES
Less Estimated at $16o, ,ooo, 900 In One year Laid to Carelessness
 of Woodsmen.

With total estimated forest fire loss for the entire country last year ranging from $150,000,000 to $200,- 000,000, and causing the death of several hundred persons, uneasy in- deed must rest the knowledge upon any woodsman, experienced or anna teur, that he caused a fire which may have contributed in this loss of life and property, says Guy Elliott Mitchell in the Review of Reviews. On the other hand, the man who ex- tinguished an incipient fire may take just pride in the act.
 The way to prevent big fires, as Chief Forester Graves says, is to put them out while they are small. If people are careful not to start fires, or if in case fires do start there are enough people available to fight them, they will gain no headway, The forest service in its posted no- tice lays down a few simple rules to keep in mind when in the woods and particularly requests in case of fire that the forest guards be noti- fled. If the fire has not gained too large headway it may be very pos sible to check and extinguish 1t, al- ways remembering that fire runs rapidly up slope, burns slowly on the crest and travels down hill yet more slowly. Many an incipient fire has been put out by a single guard or ranger, or an experienced camper, using his blanket or a green branch for beating the fire or throw. ing on loose earth or sand.

REAL GIANT FROM CARDIFF
Former Circus Attraction Has Taken Out Ills Citizenship Pa
 pers.

When the attendants in the natur- alization court in the Fairfield coun- ty court house looked up one after noon and saw bending to come through the doorway the form of a man eight feet one inch tall all off, cial dignity was thrown to the winds.
 M. J. Flanagan, naturalization clerk, at once recognized the visitor as Capt, George Auger, the ex-circus giant, who is now living in retire ment on farm in Fairfield.
 Captain Auger is a native of Car diff, Wales. He was once a police man in London, but his stature drew so many people about him that he couldn't handle the crowds he him. self attracted, so he went into the circus business. Lately he had been appearing in vaudeville produce tion of "Jack the Giant Killer" but now he says he is done with the stage.
 He served notice of becoming citizen several years ago, sot his first papers and filed the customary mo- tice of 90 days for his final papers. Bridgeport Dispatch.

BLACKSTONE AND GOLDSMITH

In deciding to place a tablet on the house in Lincoln's Inn Fields where Sir William Blackstone lived, the London county council have probably been guided by the fact that the most famous residence of the judge and commentator already carries a distinguishing sign. This is in the Temple, but the tablet is to Goldsmith's memory. Here Oh- yer gave dinners to his staider friends and supper parties to young folks of both sexes. It was the sup per parties which disturbed Black stone, whose chambers were immedi- ately below, and on many an eve ming his studies on the "Commenta- ries" were broken by tke racket made by his "reveling neighbor."

DECISION FOR
COMMISSIONERS
Court Holds That Statutes Pro.
vide for Compensation as
Overseers of Poor, Etc.

Holding that there is plain statu
tory authority for separate compensa
tion for county commissioners as
overseers OF the poor and in special
road and bridge work, Judge Huston
of the district court today sustained
the county commissioners in allowing
/ the claim of Il. j.. Oberholzer. and re
manded the matter to the board for
an itemized statement.
The claim was attacked by County
Attorney Adams at the instance Of
sixteen citizens. 1t was claimed that
there Is no authority for the commits
sioners drawing $l.50 per day as com
missioners OF the poor that there is
no legal warrant for their drawing 81
day in addition to salary as super
visors of roads and bridges, that the
payment should not have been order
ed because the account was not prop
erly itemized. The contentious fail
entirely with the exception of the or
der for an itemized account.
Judge Huston holds chat the du-
ties of overseeing the poor could as
well be IMPOSED on any other officer
as on the commissioners and that
there is generally separate compen-
sation for such duties. He holds that
the intent OF the laws OF 1901 and
1907 was to pay extra for care Of the /
poor and for the supervision OF
bridges. Several fees and salaries |
bills were reyieded and the court |
held that separate pay provisions |
we're never repealed, as claimed by |
he county attorney
The decision is of statewide inn
1ortance.
