VONKERS, N Y.-When William

out of his little trance and felt himself
over he realized it was no idle dream
that he had been put back $500 by his
love for poker and his confidence in
human nature His belief that it was
all going out and nothing coming in
was strengthened when he read tho
following note:

Some wealthy residents in a city OF
New Jersey have induced the shade
tree commission to shoot a number OF
birds, robins among them, because
these residents were annoyed by the
birds twittering. The noises OF civil

Perhaps If the birds could speak, they
would express equal annoyance at the
chatter of society In the meantime
this slaughter aroused some warm pro

Although golfers walk miles over
the links, a specialist In nervous dis,
eases says that the general idea of the
players that they are getting great
benefit from the walking is all wrong
This is about the way he explains it:
Now / don't wish to say that playing
golf isn't good exercise but admit it
is one OF the best. The great benefit
however, does not come from the walk
ing, but from the pure, open air, the
diversion of tie players minds from
everyday cares, and the actual exer
else they get by swinging the clubs

authority an investigation into the al
fairs of the express companies has been
made, which reveals them il the light
Of the greatest profit makers in pro-
portion to actual investment that the
commercial world affords. 1t is shown
that the total assets OF the express COM
panies are rated as eight times as much
as the value of the property used in
operation. 1t is also shown that their
capital stock and funded debt is four
times as great as the value Of their real
property and equipment, and also that
their net profit in a single years is go
percent on the value of the real prop
erty and equipment Of the companies.
The "New Thought"
The accounting officers of the rail-
roads are representing the new
thought" in railroad management,
which involves a new relation 20 the
patron. In times past every railroad
in the country has maintained a staff
of clerks with eagle eyes for any IN
stances Of under-charges TO the ship
pers. As soon as one of these was dis
covered Mr.. Shipper very promptly re-
ceived a notice to that effect and was
invited TO make it up. But no one ever
heard OF a shippers being notified that
he had been charged too much Errors
are much more frcquently made in this
direction. and it has been necessary for
large establishments to maintain
force Of clerks to watch out for over
charges. The president Of the account
ing officers association recommends
that roads be as careful to refund over
charges Of their own initiative as they
are to collect under-scharges.
The policy OF state and federal rail-
road regulation has led the railroads TO
adopt a new plan OF statistic gather
ing. At the meeting Of the accounting
officers last year one OF its members
asserted that there are two kinds OF
statistics needed by railway managers
statistics for action and statistics for
defence agains the attacks of the rate
makers. He asserted that the statistics
of cost per passenger per mile are a.
meaningless as statistics of puffs or
smoke or Of car wheel revolutions
While railroad men feel they must
acquiesce as gracefully as possible TO
the power Of the Interstate Commerce
commission, they declare it is beginning
to amount to practical assumption OF
control of their affairs. The commits
sion replies that this IS not true; that
q railroad may use its funds as ~
pleases, but that when it does so 1t shall
give a true accounting Of how it is
using them It may use it's earnings for
oetterments if 1t desires to do so, but
it must show that fact in its accounts,
so that betterments provided out OF
earnings may be reckoned as profits.

The Broken Leg
tBy Peter Tandberg.)

I'D Ut now I really must CO." he
said rather awkwardly. His big
clumsy hands were hanging
down his side. He was strong and big
and awkward; she SMALL slender and
pretty.
But you have just come" she said
And then. as if afraid that she had
shown too plainly how much she wanted
him to stay. she added: "Of course L
know. you have so much to do"
Yes, L have some business TO attend
to-"
He paused a little and then blurted
out: Il do wish might stay
There was no doubt that he meant
what he said. The young girl smiled.
Il really cannot stay any longer, I
assure you," he repeated and held out
his hand. Goodbye"
No. you do not get Off as easily as
that" she laughed. I am going to take
you to the station in our car"
She was very much interested in him
and he in her. but he was never able to
say what he thought when in her COM
pany. They had often met and now he
had stopped a short time at her house.
George had always disliked automo-
biles.
THE walk to the station will just
do me good" he said.
mo, come now. The car is at the door
already, and my aunt and I must go to
the city anyway to do some shopping"
A few moments later he was seated
in the car next to the chauffeur while
the two women were riding in the rear
seat.
They sped along quickly. but sudden
.ly, at a turn of the road there was a
smash up and they were run into by
another car.
George, of course, was the only one
who was hurt. He was always unlucky.
They stopped over him as re lay there
in the road with the blood oozing from
a bad cut in his head.
The chauffer, who was unframed, al
though he had been thrown clear across
the road, landing in a hedge. had run
for doctor. who was not Tong in arriv-
ing.
Rather nasty cut" said the doc
tor. George was carried back to the
house by two men who placed him in
a large comfortable room.
Soon afterwards he opened his eyes.
He smiled and looked at the doctor.
Il am rather tough, it seems" he
said.
.oh. you will be all right in a little
while" the doctor replied Il will just
have TO make a few stitches"
Then please do it as quickly as pos
sible"
In the meantime a badly scared
young woman was standing outside the
door to the room.
The doctor came out
How is he, doctor2
The doctor smiled
HE will be on his feet On day or
two. There is no reason to worry. At
first thought his skull was fractured,
but 1t is nothing worse than nasty
cut He may get up tomorrow If he
feels well enough. Please let me have
a little hot water"
She hurried away to give the order.
while the doctor walked up and down
the hall When she returned she asked
rather eagerly:
Are you quite sure he has not
broken leg?"

Surely, Warren, when we've

you think it's time we were separated
