A HINT IN THE PAY ENVELOPE.

Dispatches the other day noted that
when they opened their weekly pay
envelopes the 20 or more stenograph
ers employed By the cutlery and hard
ware factory of Landers, Frary &
Clark at New Britain, Conn, received
a Jolt and some good advice, though
some of them are as yet unc0nvinced.
Their usual wages were there all
right, and there were neither cuts nor
raises, but nicely wrapped around the
bills was a polite and decidedly diplo-
matte note from the factory manage
ment requesting the young women to
take notice in the future that slashed
skirts and other modern fancies in
women's clothing were not wholly ap.
proved, and that those who violated
what is GENERALLY accepted as a direct
order would not be in line for promo
ton and might be dismissed.

To Stop Reckless Driving.

Dixon, Ill, Aug. 20.-The city Off
cials and police are becoming greatly
incensed at the amount OF speeding
which is going on in this city contin-
ually and they declare that this dan
geTous practice must stop. A sharp
lookout is going to be maintained here
after and automobilists caught exceed
ing the speed limits as prescribed in
the state law will be arrested and
given a stiff fine. The state law in
the chapter providing for the speed OF
automobiles, places their speed at ten
miles per hour in the business district
OF a city. six miles an hour at street
intersections, and fifteen miles an hour
in the residence portion of a city. This
law is known to every auto owner and
the city authorities plan to set some
examples If speeding is not stopped.

ABOUT LICKING" MEXICO

Sharp Williams stated it when he
elaborated Senator Crawford's idea
thus:
Il merely want to add this sentence:
So far as l am concerned, l do not feel
even brave to myself-and a man very
easily does that-when l am talking
about war with poor little Mexico, dis
rupted, torn to pieces, disem5oweled
weak anyway. l might feel a certain
degree of inspiration, of sham courage
if l were talking about war with soma
nation that could stand upon its own
two feet for little while"

some-one-your-own-s ought to re
