The Humoresque a la Cadillacqut

There is perhaps no better known instrument of music among the great body of people than the musical horn attached to a local Cadillac automo bile upon which T. Morris and Friend Moncrief have learned to perform with such admirable effect.
 1t has been known to be the case that as the cars swept or glided down the boulevards that it would be halted while engaging entreaties would be poured forth to have it dispense har- mony. The youthful lovers of rag time and those who are more or less familiar with that inspiring tune, We Won't Go Home Until Morning." all craved for music. The wedding march of our lamented benefactor, Mozart. is also rendered thereupon, but 1t will bring intending joy to the lovers of exquisite technique and verve to be in- formed that one T. Morris is to become proficient with 'Humoresque." He ia spending his idle moments becoming fa- miliar with the rendition of the beau tiful harmony and will bestow that without much longer delays upon 8 palpitating automobile public. The strains of that great composition float ing over the broad expanse of High land avenue and elsewh gre will bring joy to the hearts of more than one. Of course the police have not indicated what action they will take, but enough

The Failure to Pay Up

George C. Oliver, the well known insurance man who has the disburse- ment of automobile tags this season, called attention few days ago to the fact that few owners and drivers gre conforming with the law ill regard to licenses to operate and to drive cars. He said that the law is very plain in reference to the matter of getting out license and failure to do so invokes severe penalty. MT Oliver pointed out yesterday that of 500 drivers in this county only 60 of them had se- cured a tag which must be worn in full view at all times, to drive car. Oniy 100 motorcycle owners out of GOO have taken out license to ride those ye- hcles and the indications are that the owners have overlooked the best bet. The automobile owners here are far below the general average inasmuch as it is claimed that only 300 owners out of 5000 have taken out the license 10 operate cars for the forthcoming year. MT. Oliver being a man of peace loving disposition, has appealed to the automobile owners to come for
 ward and pay Up. He says that it would be very distasteful for him to have any well known citizen brought to the attention of the officers in ref orence to this matter. However. he says that the law must be obeyed and at the same time the money Is need
 ed by the state, county and city.

Old London Art Schools

Dorothy Furniss in the Bookman
 It has been my good fortune to attend an art school immortalized by the pen of Thackeray and another where Sargent gave instructions to the students. The in London and boasts of a long roll-call of well known men and women
 When Thackeray studied there it was known as Leigh's academy A descrip- ton of it will be found in the first volume of The Newcomes" There is a tradition among the students that Thackeray being refused as an illustrator of Dickens showed his generosity of mind by asking his successful rival, Buss, and few other kindred spirits to an impromptu meal Ito celebrate the momentous occasion" at the little inn around the corner.
 Fred Walker studied at Legh's. a tiny pale-faced little boy in short jacket and round collar, a precoclous youth even for those days, when Millais passed his Royal academy examination before he was 12 years old. Charles Keene. another master of black and white. and Kate Greenaway of nursery fame. are a few of the names recalled at this moment
 Legh's academy shifted It's quarters sweveral times, and on the last occasion

 Leighs prided itself on being able to supply the needs of advanced students sS well as beginners. It boasted of an ex- tensive wardrobe, over 200 costumes. con- taining valuable medieval, Stuart and Georgian properties and one or two fine tapestries. Many time the writer has seen portrait being painted, the victim posed on one side of the antique room. with the artist hard by and an embarrass- ing crowd of students gathered around.
 Leighfs attracted a cosmopolitan stu dentship. There were many Americans. both men and girls; there were Germans and Italians. Scandinavians and Poles. Australians and Swiss: there was an ex- minister of state who arrived every day on an official looking red enamsled bicy- cle and ''lunatic" doctor of great re- pute who showed little intelligence by drawing ancient Greek goddesses in a book two inches square, There were a number of quaint old ladies; one spent the greater part of her time wiping away hysterical tears with her paint rag and results and another curiousiy testified her dislike of messy paints" by in white kid gloves.

NEWS OF HE
 AUTOMObIL|STS
By CLYDE ". ENNIS

The last word of the automobile greatness and growth of Birmingham may be found this morning elsewhere in The Age Herald in a story by the lnimitable Hugh Wish-you- Rob- man and the Inevitable Automobile" In that remarkable narrative Mir Rob erts shows that II years ago all the wisdom of the city council was trained upon an application of an ambitious automobile owner to operate a car Oh the streets of this city. He was refused the right When 1t is recalled that only II years have passed and at this time VIC have over 5000 automobiles here, 1t is remarkable Automobile dealers have sprung up overnight since that petition was turned down by the city council. Most of them have harvested fruitful crop of increment and have attained positions of unusual excel lence in all circles of Birmingham. Wealth has been distributed and countless number of men have been given well paying employment. In the meantime all the brains of expert en- gineers have been trained upon the problem of bettering automobiles, the result being that in this city the best type of cars may be secured and en- joyed.
 The thoughtful automobile owner and the dealer will find food for med itation in the article of MT. Roberts. In fact quiet tips that the item was to appear this morning has gener- ated the most intense interest among dealers and owners

The MunicipaI Garage

Lee A. Whitehead. vice president of the Highland garage, announced in this col umn last Sunday that he would cause to be erected on Twentieth street a munich pal garage, if the city wanted it. which will tend to decrease the tremendous traffic problem down town. That idea was advanced by the city engineer, al- though the city did not entertain any idea of erecting it from the city's funds.
 Mir Whitehead announced yesterday that about 100 prominent automobile men of Birmingham who do not employ driv- CTS have asked him to go ahead with the garage and have call boys, as he indi- 'cated would be the system last week. That idea is being worked out and it is rather safe to predict that something will be done in that connection soon.

Another Good Roads Trin

Under the kindly chaperonage of Ed ward R. Norman of the Birmingham Led ger, another good roads scout trip will he taken Tuesday. The tourists will go to Meridian perhaps, and join hands with the brethren in Mississippi for the better ment of the highways. The usual round of entertainment is being prepared and doubtless the persons taking the trip will scatter further seeds which will bring forth a fruitful sentiment for better high ways. The trip is being backed up by many motorists of Birmingham, while the dealers are unusually keen about the trip to another state Doubtless this will be one of the most successful that has been arranged for the betterment of roads and the enjoyment of those participating by the suave MT. Norman.

Drennen to Detroit

In an effort to procure some Cadillac cars, Hubert Drennen. the man behind the Cadillac, is in Detroit He has tried his persuasive powers on the factory managers twice this year in an effort to get cars here, but it would seem that even one so powerful and tactfu as he will secure turn down. How this is possible is hard to understand here among automobile men and bankers
 It is said at the Drennen Motor Car company office that Red smith, T. Nor ris and J. Moncrief have sold out all that have been promised the local company and are taking orders for the first few months of next year. The last line sounds like 1t might be pig iron

Buffalo on the Track

From the Topeka Cap.
 A Rock Island conductor was startled the other day at Darlhart. Tex. when he got his train orders and read, "buffalo reported on track: look out for them.'
 Such orders were frequent in 1873, but 1t had been many years since a conduc- tor any train had orders to look out for buffalo. The explanation was that the tame buffalo on a ranch had broken out of the pasture and were grazing on the right of way.

PATIENT

Moorhead, Mimi, Aug. Police
and deputy sheriffs in this section have
been notified to be on the lookout for
an escaped patient fro mthe Fergus
Falls hospital for the insane. The
maj worked in the harvest fields south
of the city Monday and Tuesday. on
the Louis Miller farm.
Monday noon a man appeared at
the Miller farm and asked for some
thing to eat and work. He was rag
ged and i'll kempt. His feet showed
through his shoes in several places.
He appeared to be very tired.
Miller gave the man a meal and set
him at some light work about the
farm yard. Tuesday morning the man
was sem to the field with other har-
vest hands. Tuesday afternoon the
stranger came in early from the fields
and told Miller he was "all in" and
unable to work any longer. Miller
paid the mar and he left.
Tuesday night when the rest of tho
harvest crew returned home they told
of the queer actions of the stranger.
Every bit of clothing he wore was
marked mo. 10" and the men nick
named him Number TO-" The strang-
err told them his name was Oscar
johnson and that after escaping from
the Fergus Falls hospital for the in
sane some ten days ago he walked to
the Miller farm.
Thus far no trace has been found
of the escaped patient. He is describ-
ed as weighing 160 pounds and being
light c~omplexioned.
