WORSE THAN BUYING HORSE

From the Popular Magazine.
 Many novelists, lavish with ink and ideas, have written about all there is to say concerning the ways of a maid with man, but there never yet has arisen a genius capable of dressing off in proper style the ways of man with a maid especially if he contemplates making that maid his stenographer. Below is a list of directions received within an hour by the manager of a Boston firm which undertakes to furnish stenographers to anybody who wants them. The instructions and requirements came over the wire in all voices and keys, including bass, tenor, baritone and bearish:
 q want a girl who likes to work" Send me good looking girl for, if I don't have something pretty to look at, I can't work
 Don't send me good looking girl. be- cause, if you do, I'll never do another lick of work
 There's only one thing I've got to say: Don't send me brunette"
 'I make one condition: Don't send me any of those drug store blondes. I don t believe in 'em.'' "I won't have any fat girl. I'm fat myself, and I know the brand Fat peo- pie are lazy"

FEW FLIES IN PRAGUE
!. PIttsburg Dispatch.

From the Pittsburg Dispatch.
 We have the authority of the United States consul at Prague that he has dis covered a 1yless city there. Br. Britain, who holds that post, is evidently sincere, since he sends his report in order to let American manufacturers of fiypaper know that it is useless to ship that commodity to Prague. There is no market for fly comedies that three or four flies may visit the ordinary dining room in tho course of summer. They are not kept out by screens, the demand for fly screens being nonexistent as that for f1y- paper But the scattering flies become discouraged by the scarcity of their food and either seek more hospital localities or give up the ghost.
 How is this happy immunity attained l? Not by fyswatting campaigns, which at tack the evil at it's symptoms instead of the source. The consul reports that all the buildings, pavements, docks and side walks are of brick, stone or concrete ' "Decayed or decaying vegetable or ani- nal matter is not left exposed'' The| streets are cleaned several times each| day. No open drains are allowed. and consequently flies can not breed in the| filth. In short the places where flies can| breed being abolished, the flies disap-| pear.
 This is certainly a valuable example| for other cities. We may not accept the| theories about the transmission of ds-| ease by flies to their full extent in or-| der to. concede that they transmit con-l siderable disease, and that they are an| unmitigated nuisance. If they are notI permitted to find breeding places and all refuse is kept closed from them. they must disappear. The sanitary condition| produced by such measures will be cer-| tain to lessen disease even from causes| apart from the fly nuisance.

Eees and Renresentation

The people of Alabama have de- clared the fee system of Jefferson an nnmitigated evil that should be apoi- ished. But they did not abolish It. They simply authorized the legislature to act in relation to it if 1t be so minded.
 Now the legislature does not meet Tn reoular session until January, l9lo. Regular sessions of the legislature are four years apart, and there is no re- lief from the fee system in immediate sioht. for the county officers elected in 1914 will have been sworn in before the next regular session convenes, ana their fees cannot be decreased or ln- creased or otherwise handled until their respective terms of office have expired.
 Jefferson county is, in fact, to fare noorly in the immediate future. Ih1s county is entitled to Il members oi the lower house of the legislature, but because no apportionment of the state can be made until 1915 the county will have to get along with six members until January, 1919, and new census will be taken in 1920.
 Between the lack of an apportion- ment and the lack of action by the leg .islature on it's fee system Jefferson county may not get it's due very soon However, there is hope of action al Asome time, possibly in an extra session in 1914, and there was absolutely none under section 96 of the constitution as it was written in 1901.
 The people of the state have, how ever, dealt as justly with this county as quadrennial sessions of the legis- lature will permit, and all we have to do is to remember that all things come to him who waits.

GOT OFT TO COUNT

From the Boston Traveller.
 A Harvard student who, for obvious reasons, does not care to have his name appear, passed up this one: "A cousin of mine in the western part of the state came to Boston for a visit and dropped out at Cambridge to call on me He asked if he could share my ioom with me that night, and I told him he could if he came in early enough. He started for a theatre, and when midnight came without any trace of him I called in my regular room mate, who had sought quarters else where to make room for my cousin. decided that my relative was going to make night of 1t in town.
 We had hardly got to sleep, how ever, when he came in, packing high ly favored breath. We said nothing. and he soon climbed into the bed with us. Everything was quiet for few minutes, when suddenly he sat up, put his mouth close to my ear and whis- peref: Jim, there are six feet in this bedr Forget it., I said; you're crazy. With that he climbed out, groped his way around to the foot of the bed and began to paw our feet. You're right, he said after a minute. I've counted em and there's only four. /"

Extra Session of Congress

Already 1t is plain that alert and scheming interests in New York arc alone behind the movement to prevent the calling of an extra sesion soon aft CT the fourth of March next. They desire few months in which to start one rumor or another, and to push the prices of securities up or down at will.
 No manufacturer is supporting them in this demand for long intervening period of unrest and uncertainty-a period extending from March to the first Monday in December. Every manufacturer wants the tariff ques- tion determined. It may not be determined just as he wishes. He de- sires, however, to know what he must conform to and the sooner he knows it the better he will be pleased.
 The great majority of manufactur- CTS know that a tariff planned on revenue lines by Oscar Underwood will not shut up single factory. Some of the factories may have to get along without exorbitant profits based on a high protective tariff, but reasonable although incidental protection will be granted to all American industries. The manufacturers know this, and at heart every one of them hopes to hear that an extra sesion is to be held and the tariff revised at the earliest pos sible date. They want to know "where they are at," and uncertainty is the last condition in the world that they desire.
 The democratic party is pledged to an early revision of the tariff. MT. Underwood stands ready to carry for ward the work, and President-elect Wilson will certainly support the de- mand for a revision that is alike speedy and just to all.
The Birmingham age-herald., 1912-11-07

From the New York World.
 Aside from the question of absract morals, the brutal frankness of the theatrical manager who testified in court that it is the custom of stage directors to steal from any old play they like" is refreshing.
 Modern authors are sensitive about the law of private rights, but Moliere put on no sanctlmonious air when he said, T take my property where l find it." Prosperity bas thought no worse of him because he borrowed freely of the Italians So did Shakespeare; and he saved from utter oblivion the mem ory of an earlier generation of obscure playwriters and furnished a later gen. eration of scholars something to do in searching the titles of his scenes.
 People talk of piracy in playwriting in reproachful tone to which, it seems, superior But how is anybody to copy fright the human passions and emotions and the limited number of situations into which poor men and women, in the stress of love- hate, jealousy and ann bition, are led by the interplay of their interests and thoughts? The news oi the day is constantly proving that 1t is impossible to create any fiction that | is stranger than fact. Solomon might
 have had the theatre in mind when ht
 said that there is nothing new under the sun.
 If anybody is going to look up the genealogy of all the jokes and love passages and tragic climaxes in use today he will merely destroy the hap piness of most of the gifted writers of the hour who are infatuated with their own gifts of originality. Between plain larceny and skilful adaptation there may be distinctions that the courts will recognize. But if every line of a Broadway production is to have blown in the bottle or water-marked the name of the patentee, the new of ferings of the next few years will be few in number.
The Birmingham age-herald., 1912-11-07
"HEIREss, AND "FIANoEs

From the Louisville Courier-Journal. Inevitably the woman in the case is
 a southern heiress, or a member of a prominent southern family if the case
 develops in northern city, especially in New York or Chicago. Sophia Singer was the fcommon law 1 wife of wage earner and the associ-
 ate of vaudeville performers who seem
 to have left the sawdust> of the circus | ring only to find the stage rather in
 hospitable, and to have drlfted rud- deriess course through the cheap lodg- ting houses, combating proyerty with crime. But the murdered girl is an heiress and a member of prominent
 Baltimore family. And her common law
 husband, the man who had two suits
 of clothes and whose possessions ex-
 cited the lawless cupidity of the clown,
 was her "iance."
 MT. and Mrs. Conway" says a Chi- cago telegram, lodged in that room,"
 and Miss Singer and her fianee in the other"
 The tragedy is about as featureless and sodden as any murder recently re-
 ported. Not even the donation of wealth and pedigree to the victim and the elevation of the common law husband
 to the dignity of fiance serves to make | 1t less so But were not the clown
 and the burlesque woman of any social
 distinction whatsoever? Why not ex-
 anime into their antecedents and the list of their clubs and the charities they have patronized?

PASTOR DRINKS BEER

From the New York Sun.
 Newarkers were still discussing Fri day the action of the Rev. George Chalmers Richmond, rector of St. Johns Episcopal church, Philadelphia, who drank a glass of beer on the platform after making political speech in New ark Thursday night He is the same minister who from the pulpit attacked the marriage of the late John Jacob Astor.
 At meeting of Italian Americans in the Fourteenth ward Richmond criti- cized a group of rich men whose names he mentioned, using the words graft CTS" and "chump" While the crowd was applauding Richmond drank the beer, saying that despite the ideas of New England it was no sin to drink beer, wine or whisky.
 Mir Richmond came to Newark to keep a promise to Everett Colby to aid the fight for Roosevelt.

overwhelming odds and even despises himself for having entertained the ouix- otic notice of opposing what he new chooses to consider his destiny. It is truly the primrose path of dalliance," and poor Dunoisse-for in so masterly man. her is this striking personality painted by the author that it awakens love and pity while scorn is kept we'll in the back ground-lives to experience the full fury of his own bitter curse-"an hour of shame for me and bitterness and humilla- tionl"
 An attempt here to sketch the story of this dramatic life would hardly be pos- Hsibe on account of it's length and the many other lives with which it is so closely allied and which, individually. are as important to the structure of the book as the principal theme. In fact, there is sufficient material here for several books of absorbing interest.
 There are descriptions of people and scenes in Between Two Thieves which may well be hailed as literary master- pieces. Humor is not lacking and is pres ent in sufficient quantities in the parts of the book which follow the fortunes of Private Horrotian of the British army and his young wife and those of Sergt. Jems Geogehagan and his faithful Moggy to afford the proper amount of relief from the intensely tragic features
 The style for the most part is charm ing and changeful, like the subject mat ter. Possibly the only criticism that could be made would be that in the treatment of certain descriptions of nature the au- thor's pen runs away with her. so that while the picture is clear and often beau tiful, the force of the paragraph is marred by a superabundance of adjectives. Con- versational passages are uniformly spen- did.
