SEEING HIM AS OTHERS SAW HIs


In Harper's Magazine for September
Louise Closer Hale tells of going to a
moving picture show in the little French
town of LIE Puy and seeing an American
scene in which a well known American
appeared.
THAT night we crossed the Place de
Brueuil and spent an evening before the
moving pictures. They were excellent
pictures, and the young lady said her
only dread was the end. She went out
during Orange Picking In Sicily and en-
ploying the future tense carefully, asked
If there will be new views every even
ing. We all felt a glow of satisfaction
when we read the answer, by the light
of the orange picking in her happy face.
"She returned in time to witness an
extra film thrown on the screen, as the
handwriting on the white wall explained
! out of compliment to the strangers
Every one turned and peered at us them
and we became very conscious, but even
| more happy. The first scene was that of
| Main Street, New York City, which we
recognized in a loud voice as the railway
| station at White Plains. In this scene
an actor whom two of us knew personally
as a very cowardly young man crossed the
tracks in a motor car less than in instant
before the Bankers Express from Ka-
tonah. with the club car humping along
behind went laundering past. In fact.
| the wooden gates which had been lowered
| across the road were snapped off by the
impact of the automobile, and for mo-
ment we held our breath for the safety
| of the actor whom we had never liked
before. AS the photographer said. slight
| ly confused by his ready sympathy, it
would be very sad for an American, even
an actor, to die in a strange country"

afraid he will kill her. Thaw's actions
since his incarceration do not indicate
he is crazy. His ex-wife declares,
however, that few drinks turn him
into a wild man, and it is possible that
he will again be concerned in deeds of
violence.

youNGsTER,s ADMIRATION.

New York Globe.
The admiration entertained by a
Trenton boy for his uncle includes all
of the later's attributes and even pos
sessions which the uncle himself is not
wont to deem desirable.
'sUncle," said the lad one day after
he had been studying his uncle in
laughing conversation with his father
Il don't care much for plain teeth like
mine / wish had some copper-toed
ones like yours"

UNDERGROUND LIFE OF CITIES

ION quite ordinary days 100000 persons
are accommodated in the New York sub
ways and the crowds are multiplying
week by week.
Men go below the surface to reach
the trains that are to take them from
that architectural wonder the new Penn
sylvania station, east and west out of the
city. After they have reached the trains
they are dropped still further UNDER
ground, in order that they may pass be-
meath the bottom of the Hudson and East
rivers.
ITO get out of New York city by means
of the New York Central railroad or the
New York. New Haven and Hartford
railroad it is necessary to make use of
that other Architectural wonder, the
Grand Central station. and again travellers
drop down into the bowels of the earth
before they may start.
In the great hotels of New York the
mechanical departments are all far be-
meath the street surface These depart
ments are we'll worth visiting, and In most
cases the hotel proprietors are only too
glad to permit their kitchens, bakeshops,
furnace rooms engine rooms and laun-
dries to be inspected. These places ordi-
narily are the cleanest in the entire ho-
tel.
Many of New York's greatest depart
ment stores are connected directly with
the subways. as are also some of its new
er theatres. Last February family OF
three from San Francisco, visiting in New
York. lived for a fortnight in one of the
most fashionable and most expensive ho-
tells i'm the city, spent most of their time
shopping. sightseeing and theatre going,
and only one during the entire IA days
passed into the open air of the outside
world. From their rooms in the hotel
they We're dropped by elevator to the level
OF the subway. Through the subway they
went to department stores, theatres, res
taurants, museums and even to church.
When they started for home they went
by subway from their hotel to the Grand
Central station and did not get out into
the sunlight until their train had well
started on It's long journey. And this
was not on . bet. either

was the progressive candidate.

Farmers as speculators

The Wall Street Journal, which is
ably edited and distinctlysbroad minded,
says in part in a recent article:
without being suspected of heresy,
it may be submitted that the greatest
farmer He is financing a crop which
may never come up at all on borrowed
money. 1t is necessary and right that
he should do this. but the fact should
give pause to people who denounce
speculation. But when the farmer has
harvested his crop, whether 1t be cot
ton or corn, and holds that crop for
an advance in the price, borrowing
money to do so, he becomes not the in
voluntary speculator which he must
necessarily be, but an operator for the
rise in cotton or corn who may or may
not be. according to his motive, a
plain gambler.
''At this time of the year the farmer
is lying awaks nights, contemplating
the maturity of his notes at the bank
and the uncertainties of his crop. The
business of the country is adjusted each
autumn by the passing of asricultu-
raj produce into the channels of trade
The farmer liquidates at that lime in
the only way he can, which is by re-
alizing on his crops against mis- note
at the bank.
But if the banks who are financing
him are put in possession of what look
like limitless funds to the agricultural
mind, what will happend? Every farm
ers alliance in the country will de-
mand that notes shall be renswed SC
that crops can be held for .he rise
which is always promised and seldom
natures. The condition produced will
be one of plain inflation and SO far
from relieving the situation -Ir Nc
Adoos doubtless well meant effort will
| seriously aggravate IT."

The park Concerts

''AIemolis band in its Capitol park con-
certs has made a splendid impression -
said a we'll known local musician. THE
programmes have been of a high class,
but not as a rule, above the heads of
the people. In order to give variety and
brightness many light numbers have
been played as extras but there has
been no ragtime. The ragtime fad l.a;
been going out of vogue for the past
year or two. 1t Is safe to say that five
years hence the word ragtme will not
be understood at all.
II understand that the Music Study
club, under whose auspices the park con-
certs are given, have funds enough to
continue the open air music until Au-
gust 30. 1t seems to me that hundreds
of people who enjoy the music might
chip in a dollar or two piece and en-
able the committee to continue the con-
certs into September

Continuous political Performance

prom the column heading in Sunday s
Age Herald it is evident that for some
months we are to have a continuous per-
formance on the political stage" said a
man who takes much interest in the
political game.
'The commissioners race is already
on and in a few weeks we shall know
who is to succeed Mr. Exum At the
present time it seems what, in horse
racing parlance, is called a runaway
race with George Ward the favorlte. l
doubt the propriety of candidate maxi
ing public announcement that those who
sign the petition are not obligated to
vote for that candidate, but should feel
free to vote for whom he pleases.' I
myself would resent such proposition
unless I should discover that l had been
misled into signing a candidates petit
tion, or he should make such announce
ments of his policies and platform as !
could not indorse.
81 cannot understand all the hurt
feeling tommyrot' about candidates being
crowded out of the race. Why didn't
those men who felt they had a call to
make the race for some set policy, on
principles, stay 1t out, or go boldly In,
win or lose? No man actuated entirely
by the highest purpose should ever be a
gutter led forlorn hope race, but
I had the abiding satisfaction of keeping
the record of certain politician where
the people should not forget. Also. had
