A HERMIT IN NEW YORK CITY

Manuel Martinez a wealthy and
eccentric Spaniard died in New

Broadway Central hotel. where he
had lived the life of a hermit
living in Il hotel on BrOawday?
That may seem strange to
many persons who in their
minds have always associated
hcrmits with caves or solitary
novels in the woods or mountains,
yet it is a fact that Martinez lived
in the broadway hotel for more
than thirty years, as much u
hermit as ever crouched in a cave.
He was a. one me a banker,
but retired from business more
than thirty years ago. For some
reason he developed strong
antipathy against what he called
"a church ridden" world and
withdrew from it, sccluding him
self with his library Of books IN
history and philosophy in a room
or the upper floor Of the Broad.
way Central hotel.
He paid his bills promptly but.
kept strictly to himself end spoke
to no one, not even to the en-.

he did not leave his room for

AUTOMOBILE AND HORSE

! With the automobiles every
DAY invading the provinces in
which the horse held undisputed
Sway, it has been for a long time
the impression generally, the end
of the horse age, if not within
measurable distance, was at any
rate not far remote. The gradual
replacement of the horse by the
automobile has so constantly

the horse is becoming less and less
noticeable in the streets that have
lent unmistakcable coloring to the
popular view.
The new year book of the De-

THE PRESIDENTS VETOES

Congress adjourned yesterday
afternoon. In the last hours of
the session President Taft sent in
his veto of the revision of the
cotton. iron ard steel and chemical
schedules of the Payne. Aldrich
tariff law. He had already vetoed
the revision of the wooden shed
ale, a schedule that he said in his
Winona speech last year was
'ndcfenisble. and the farmers
free list bill.
His vetDes of these hills show
that he was not sincere in his
Winona speech or that he has since
gone over body and soul TO the
manufacturing interests of the
country and has no thought of the
countless thousands who consume
their products.
If the wool schedule of the tariff
law was "indefensible" in 1910,
when President Taft was trying
to still the storm of an outraged
people, it is more indefensihlc to,
day.
In the election last yea the
country voiced ITS opinion of tho
Paync-Aldrich tariff law in no un.
certain manner. That opinion
coincided with the views of Prcsi.
dent Taft as expressed at Winona
and resulted in the complete over.
thr W Of his party in the house
and greatly reduced its majority
in the senate. Notwithstanding
this expression of the people al
the ballot box, President Taft
deliberately turns the county over
to the tender mcrcies of the
greedy manufacturers.
These Vetoes do not settle tariff
revision. 1t delays it for awhile

.iFOILING THE PICKPOCKET

For n man there is only one real
safe pocket. and that is n pocket
which few men except experienced
race goerS have their suits supplied
with. 1t is a breast pocket inside
the waistcoat, and it should have a
buttoned flap. for without the
button even this hiding place is
unsafe.
The second best place for carry
ing money is the t,0uscl', pocket
especially if the owner l. rather

And the left hand pocket is
better than the right. A skillful
thief standing behind yIu may
insinuate his right hand into your
right hand pocket easily. but the
left comes awkwardly to him.
For safcty's sake the pick pocket
seldom works single handed. He
usually works with couple of
