LOS ANGELES, Dec. 81. Joe
Rivers, the little Mexican who drew
with Conley recently, is busy in
Los Angeles trying to accumulate
those luxuries that his refined ma
ture demands.
Rivers most recent outburst is a
bed that cost $500. When he
carted this Louis XIV thing home,
an excited rumor rose that he was
once more contemplating matrimony.

The "sociaI Chauffeur.

| To the long list of gainful pursuits
open to women in New York there
| has Just been added the novel one OF
| "social chauffeur" one which bids
fair to rival the field in point of popu-
larity and financial return. Any wo-
man thirsting for business success
combined with pleasureable occupa-
ton should become a social chauf-
| feur''-that is, after d course at Vas
sar or Wellesley. This new calling
was originated by the wife of a
gasolene automobile, Wellesley
education and an original idea, the
last being belief that lonely invalid
convaleseent or aged women desiring
an outing would prefer her services
to those of male chauffeur. Bust
ness along this line soon justified the
purchase of an electric coupe and
spreading into other fields has result
ed so far in the acquisition of sec
ond gasolene car, an order placed for
a third, the employment of two Vas
sar graduates as assistants, negotia-
tions opened for a private garage and
the establishment of a luxurious home
for the three social chauffeurs.
The originator of the scheme is find
ing the greatest patronage and widest
field for her personal equipment
among wealthy feminine guests of the
big hotels. Such a customer the So
cial chauffeur points out, has all she
desires but some one to talk to. That
is where the college education comes
in; for finding that the social chauf-
feur is an agreeable conversationalist,
a social equal and an altogether COM
panionable person, these women make
constant demand upon her time. The
social chauffeur wears a gown appro-
pirate to the occasion. 1t may be
trip to the shops, an afternoon matt
nee, or an evening function. but in the
majority of cases the social chauffeur
is invited to participate in the pastime.
All time is charged for, however. The
minimum rate is three dollars an hour
with one dollar extra for each addi-
tionaI person. The highest charge is
made in instances where a nurse is
furnished at seven dollars per hour.

Pic. swattinq the BURGLARS.

At last, at last Chicago girls have
put one over on the rest of the world S
youthful femininity. 1t remained for a
Windy City lass to attain personal
fame, city renown, save her purse and
start a swat he-burglar crusade at
one swoop. She did it!
Miss Marion Merry has illustrated to
the world the efficiency of Chicago
pie. They should be promptly import

Let no bandit escape--that is, If he
gets away with his life he should be a
marked man, with strawberry juice in
his ewes and whiskers. Make EN- all
"pie-faces" 1t is the latest fashion in
defense and offense.
Miss Merry was halted by a hold-up
man as she was carrying home pie.
He snatched at her purse and She

The pie was somewhat disarranged

under his shirt collar. 1t matted his
fore top and gave him the appearance
of having been run down by IA steam

The interior decorations of straw
berry, or even a BURBERRY, pie are well
calculated to prove disconcerting to a
burglar If he is stabbed with it by a
Chicago girl. Internally lemon or
eustard pie is well adapted to the
burglarious pompadour, and the trail of
the fleeing victim is well marked.
Girls, arm yourselves with a pie.

Wilbur Wright falls before a disease

All Eyes Turned on Maine.

Already the Democratic national er-
ganization is alive to the importance Of
putting in a lot of hard work in Maine
this campaign. They have given up
hope of saving Representative Gould
in the Third district, but believe there
is a lighting chance for Dan Mack in
the Second district. Some of the big
gest guns Democracy can muster in
the country will be sent into Maine
between the primaries and September
election The situation is deemed Of
more Importance than ever before in
the minds of the Democratic leaders. If
they COULD save Representative
Goulds scalp il would give national
Democrats renewed courage. They
would believe il especially significant.

had not begun to recede. ON the con-

DIV be defeated as well as Gould, it
would show pretty conclusively that
the Republican tide was already
sweeping back and that the possibility
of holding a Democratic National
House, or of capturing control of the
u. S. Senate, had gone by for this time.

is a poor barometer of political condi-

President will be elected and quite

But if the national Democracy can
save the Second district congressman,
even at the loss of Gould in the Third
district, they will continue the fight TO
November with better courage.
This year Maine is the most import
ant state in the Union, in political
way, because of being the campaign
pioneer in enunciation of the political
cclor of the times. The eyes of the pol

Cross Country Automobile Service

towns Responsible parties are behind
the movement and ready to inaugurate
the service II they can secure 800 adj
vance subscriptions for tickets to be
used in the first month. in either direc-

per ticket
1t is believed that not only would a
service prove delightful innovation in
outdoor pleasure, but would hasten the
day when the long-talked of electric
read between the State Capitol and the
beautiful city on Penobscot Bay. The
friends of the enterprise believe. also,
that it would promote business activi-
ties between the cities and towns by
bringing them in closer touch.
In a pleasant summer day probably
no more enjoyable trip, for the num-
Der OF miles, could be found in Maine,
than through the beautiful towns lying
between Augusta and Roekland. We
are not familiar with the most direct
or easiest highways between the two
points. but have in mind Hallowell,
Gardiner, Pittston, Whtefield, Jeffer-
son, Waldoboro, Warren and Thomas

red to US but they would be none the
less picturesque or delightful.
If there is no single purpose in the
promotion of such a service. other than
giving the passenger his or her mon
ey's worth in ride over a glorious

on the plan and, instead of returning

unmothered Crime Wave.

The Lewiston criminal calendar
records sixteen cases during the past
month including one murder, one
murderous assault numerous assaults
of less degree and several robberies.
And yet it is claimed by the apologists
of notification that the non-enforce-
ment of the prohibitory law has Moth
ing to do with the case. Still as a
precautionary measure the mayor and
city marshal have been moved To or
der the closing of saloons at 10 p. NJ.
and at II on Saturday night, and now
it is said that they have been told
not to open until in the morning.
But of course the free selling of rum
has no relation whatever to the crime
wave and the commission of crime by
persons infiamed with rum. Never in
the Portland Press.

A Wanderers Prayer.


o Thou TO whom mans heart is known,
Grant me my morning orison.
Grant me the rover's path-to see
The dawn arise, the daylight hee,
In the far wastes of sand and sun
Grant me with VenturouS heart TO run,
ON the old highway, where in PAIN
And ecstasy man strives arnaln,
Gonauers his fellows, or, too weak,
Finds the great rest that wanderers
SEEK
Grant me the joy of wind and brine,
The zest of food, the taste of VINE
The fighters strength, the echoing strife
The high tumultuous lists of life
MAY | ne'er lag, nor hapess fall
Nor weary at the battle CALI
But when the even brings surcease.
Grant me the happy mooriand peace;
That in my hearts depth ever lie
That ancient land of heath and sky.
Where the old rhymes and stories fall
In kindly, soothing pastoral
There In the hills grave silence lies,
And Death himself wears friendly guise;
There be my lot, my twilight stage,
Dear city of my pilgrimage
