c. l. Moncure; sheriff, w. L. Palmer;

French during the Spanish war. 1t is
the last bridge on the Thames, only sixty
miles away from the sea, which gives 1t
quite a distinction.
Dickens was fond OF studying here by
day and night those widely different
phases Of humanity which can be seen
in London better than anywhere else on
earth. The bridge is never deserted. 1t
is estimated that every twenty-four hours
ZOO vehicles and 10000 pedestrians cross
from one side of London to the other.
The roadways are arranged so that those
who drive rapidly follow one course and
those who drive slowly take another.
Standing on this connecting link of the
worlds metropolis, one realizes the I'M
mensity of London.
London Tower.
London Tower! No building In this
greatest city of the world is historically
so impressive as old London Tower. Its
gloomy battlements watch grtmly o'er the
Thames as they have done for centuries.
Some of it's deep foundations are said to
be as old as the time of Julius Caesar.
At present, its most conspicuous fea-
ture Is the massive structure in the fore
ground, with four pinnacles called the
White Tower, built early In the reign
of William the Conqueror, about the year
lO7e.

TOO MANY MOODS IN GIRL;

II couldn't believe such change in a
human being was possible as came over
him after that. He seemed to have lost
all love for me.
Your nature is a combination that
fills me with forebOding,' he declared. I
am afraid Of having so many moods in
one wife. 1 may be blamed, but must
ask you to break our engagement
AT first 1 deeply grieved, but I am so
greatly interested in my work that am
fast forgetting it," said Miss Langford.
1T has made me do a great deal OF
thinking, though. 1 would surely like to
know II 1t had been better for me had
only shown one side of my nature to my
fiance. Most women do until they have
married, and then they cease to care
what their husbands think.
Il don't suppose one man in fifty would
marry II he saw the woman he has
chosen as she really is. Women are
never deceived in men, for men are nearly
always selfish and self-centered.
Personally, I hope to marry a play
wright or an author. or some frightfully
selfish person. I wouldn't care to marry
an empty-headed millionaire"

Many of the troubles to which the pre-
mature deteriorations OF tires is traceable
can be readily corrected If given atten-
ton in time, and as a result more than a
little money can be saved. Small cuts in
envelopes, almost imperceptible at first,
but which soon cause a tires complete
destruction. should be repaired promptly.
The average motorist, inclined to discount
the Importance of giving envelope cuts
immediate attention, must pay the pen
atty of his neglect.
There is only one correct way to repair
the litt : incisions in the outer surface of
tire that actually causes so much trou-
BILE and expense. The depth of the cut
should be first ascertained by inserting
the end of thin pointed object, not too
sharp, or the trouble may be aggravated.
