A NYBODY would know from the title
"A that MOLLY DARLING is love
story. It makes one think OF youth with its
romance and glamour. This prize entry by
Florida p. Sumerwell has that and much
more besides,-wise and gentle humor, with
lust touch OF satire, for one thing, and,
which is far more important, a fine idea.
Honestly. there is so much in the story that
one wants 70 tell all about it in advance just
to emphasize that idea 1t fingers Ike per-
fume in ones memory.
If you are very young you will have GER
tain admiration for the Other Man. coupled
with realization OF the utter absurdity OF his
even dreaming that he might really win
Molly Darling; but if you are only little
old you will sympathize with him deeply and
respect him highly, and wonder why things
should always come about that way. The
great compensation OF getting little old-no
right thinking person ever becomes very old
is the wisdom the years bring.-not very
much. perhaps, but one cannot live without
accommodating a little And the great trial OF
getting a little old is the fact that youth can't
grasp this wisdom.
Maybe you will think OF these things when
YOU read MOLLY DARLING in our next
SUNDAY MACAzINE; but, whether you do or
not. you will thoroughly enjoy a charming
story.

LOAN COMPANY LOSES
SUIT IN DeGAWS COURT

The Household Loan Co., one OF
those concerns which makes small
loans to workingmen at usurious
rates of interest, came to grief in
Justice DeGaw's court, Monday morn
ing, when suit was brought against
William n. Springer, TO enforce pay.
ment Of a loan.
Springer testified, and his testimony
was corroborated by David Husher,
manager OF the company, that he Dor
rowed SIS, for which he gave note
and a chattel mortgage on his furni-
ture. There was also verbal agree
ment that he was to repay the loan in
IL monthly installments OF $12.05.
This would bring his total payments
to s132.55, of which $57.55 would be
interest. This Is at the rate of al
most 20 per cent.
Springer made two payments, and
then, discovering how he was being
bled, refused TO pay any more.
II was brought out in court that the
concern is operating without a H.
cense, and under the new law there
was nothing for Justice DeGaw to do
but declare the loan forfeited and give
Judgment in Springer's favor. Spring

McClear.

Street Railway Company Sub
mits Proposition, But City
Will Reject 1t.

TOLEDO, Ohio, Dec. 1.-THE To-
ledo Railway and Light Co. today sub
United a proposition TO the city, set
ting forth what they would give for a
franchise
The compsny proposes sliding
scale OF fares, a five-cent fare with
elk tickets for a quarter and universal
transfers as the maximum and three
cent fares as the minimum. The
whole schedule, however, is based on
the valuation OF the company's prop
erty at eight million dollars. which
they claim must earn eight per cent
per year.
The company asks that the new
franchise be granted for twenty-five
years and that the company be exempt
from all paving and other special
taxes. They agree TO place the rate
of fare at six tickets for a quarter
TO be reduced to seven
tickets for a quarter as soon as the
company earns over eight per cent
and finally to three-cent fares when
tie earnings can stand il.
The city officials are demanding
three-cent fares Immediately and will
reject the offer.
