Out in the Cold

international News Night service)
Chicago, Jan. 31.-Passengers on
the Chicago & Alton midnight special,
a no-stop train between Chicago and
st. Louis, were thrown from their
berths and many of them badly
bruised when six Pullman coaches left
the tracks at Lockport early today.
One of the coaches was overturned,
but it is said none of the passengers
was seriously injured.
The cause of the accident is not
known, and the fact that nobody was
seriously injured or killed is due to
the low speed at which the train was
running-less than 30 miles an hour.
The passengers in the overturned
coach were forced to go out into the
snow in their night clothing and farm
houses n arbzy wcre opened as tenn
porary refugees. Coaches were rushed
to the scene from Joliet and after
delay of an hour the train proceeded
to st. Louis.

Thinks Golf Too Easy.

New York Tribune: Herbert Fow-
Ter, who designs golf courses in Eng
land, has started a howl of dismay
by calmly asserting in print that "golf
has become too easy"
The rubber-cored ball is, of course,
the cause to which he lays this ca
lamity. And all the lengthening of
holes and invention Of diabolical pot
bunkers he considers quite made
quate to keep the game in it's pristine
arduousness. Better guarded green's
trapped to test the approach shot not
only as to distance but also as to di-
rection-and more cross bunkers of
the now questionable type are his
chief demands.
"Not for me-" has been the prompt
chorus in England in reply to Mr..
OWleI dSSci ClOlI VI SOll . SdoiHcoo'
And we think there will be heart
full echo here. Golf is, after all, a
game-a pleasure game, we are moved
to add, having in mind bridge and
other sports which require a scien-
tifc education to qualify player.
The backbone Of the game is the duff
fer, when all is said and done. And
golf course should be designed, not
for the perfect golfer (who, by the
way, doesn't exist), but for fallible
human nature struggling manfully
against insuperable odds. Make golf
too easy? Frankly, in our present
Respondent mood, the idea is unthink-
able.

OLD MOTHER HUBBARD

New York Press: Old Mother Hub
bard, whose address is Yealmpton,
Devonshire, hopes that children the
world over who have read about her
and her famous dog will send her all
the pennies they can spare. 1t isn't
because her cupboard is bare that she
wants them, but because the tower of
the old parish church in Yealmpton,
where she once lived, is badly in need
of repair and there is at present no
money in hand for that purpose.
Really, just between US, it is not
Mother Hubbard herself who asks for
the pennies, she having been dead for
nearly century, but the vicar of
Yealmpton, Rev. H. ]. Warner, who
appeals in her name and that of her
dog who hopes thereby to raise the
$500 that is needed to rebuild the
rapidly crumbling tower.
Incidentally, this reverend gentle
man tells who the original Mother
Hubbard was. She was the house
keeper to the squire of Yealmpton,
more than 100 years ago, and it was
a guest of the squire's named Sarah
Catherine Matrin, who wrote the nur-
aery rhyme, about her and her dog.
:. In the churchyard is to be seen
what is probably the most cynical
ly frank, if not brutal, epitaph a
husband ever has ereco2d to the
memory of departed spouse. The
vicar declares. by the way, that
those children who send not less than
a shilling, or rs cents, he will show
his gratitude by sending them a
picture postcard of church and tow
er.
A romantic history attaches to
Little Jack Horner," who was stew
ard to the Abbot of Glastonbury. The
latter wished to appease King Henry
WIZ, who was indignant because the
monks had built kitchen which he
could not burn down. The abbot ac-
cordingly dispatched Jack Horner
with a specially tempting pie, which
was filled inside with the title deeds
of twelve monasteries, as a present
to the king.
Jack Horner slyly distracted one
deed, which was that referring to the
manor of Wells, and on his return
to Glastonbury he informed the abb
bot that the deed had been given to
him by the king. The rhyme was
founded on this incident. the plum

which he abstracted being the title
deed of Wells.
"Humpty Dumpty" is said to have
been a bold, bad baron in the time
of King John.
"The Babes in the Wood" had their
origin in an actual crime committed
in the fifteenth century, and the story
may be seen carved on the mantel-
piece of an ancient house in Norfolk.
"Little Bo-Peep" was not maiden,
but the holy friar ("hoo" or "bod''
being a contraction of the word for
messenger) who, in Anglo-Saxon days
went around collecting for the monas-
teries.

FIVE NEW PUBLICATIONS
EVERY WORKING DAY

international News Night Service)
Philadelphia, Jan. 31.-The forty
sixth annual census of the publications
of the United States and Canada, pub
lished in the American Newspaper An
nut and Directory, shows that an av-
erage of five new publications were
startI every working jday during
1913. The suspensions and consolida-
tions make the net gain only three a
week.
The total number of publications is
24,527. There are 2640 dailies-the
evening editions outnumbering the
morning by about three to one. There
are 572 Sunday papers. 1t requires 40
different languages to carry the news
to the people of this country. Large
lists are devoted to the special publ
cations, agricultural, religious, ETC.,
but every class, every cult, every trade,
every profession, every fad, every
'ism," has its printed spokesman in
the 215 different lists into which they
are subdivided.
Only four industries now exceed in
capital invested and value of products
the business of publishing and print
ing. In ten years the output increased
sc per cent, and it is entimated that
at present the earnings of newspapers
and periodicals average nearly mil
lion and half dollars per calendar
day. Two-thirds of this amount per-

Almost everything else having been
reformed (and some things two or
three times), it is not surprising to
hear of an organization for the pur-
pose of reforming the children. The
children, bless them, they shall lack
for nothing. Even reformation shall
not be denied them. They shall not
go on their wicked ways if the deep
thoughts of the social workers can
avail to save them.

BY Gotham knickerbocr

! New York, Feb. 2.-I uncovered a
brand new swindling scheme on the
Gay White Way yesterday.
The box office man of a theatre was
handing out tickets, explanations and
consolation as usual when young
man, without hat Or coat, hustled in.
He asked my friend, the ticket seller,
if there was $40 in quarters to spare
in the till.
"Im from the cafe across the
street." he explained, handing over
a 500 bill.
The lord of the pasteboards gave the
youth two rolls containing the twenty
five cent pieces. In half minute the
stranger had returned.
Excuse me, | made a mistake"
he said. 81 wanted $40 in quarters
and $40 in nickels and Dimes"
The ticket seller didn't have the
change. So the hustling youth hand
ed back package, remarking that he
could probably get the nickels and
dimes in the subway OF course he
received back $40. An hour after.
this the cashier was unpleasantly sur
prised on attempting to break the
package the youth had given him. 1t
was quite stiff and proved to consist
of a cylindrical piece of steel with a
good quarter at each end.
He hastened across to the cafe and
asked the manager if he had sent for
change.
81 didn't, but you did, said the
latter-who proved to be second vic
tim and to have q fifty cent roll of
quarters with a piece of steel be-
tween in his own cash register.
Warfare over the tango continues. A
jewel was contributed by British
army colonel, who had spent ten years
in India. Leaving New York for Lon
don, he said:
"I've spent many summer in In
dia and it's rotten hot hole, but l
think the Broadway cabaret shows
and the tango are hotter still"
The bishops are delighted, I might
add. They have discovered the unpar-
donable sin at last-the tango.

NEWS OF THE. OLD DOMINION
AGAIN VIEWS BODY.
Miss Chcnault is Positive Dead Man
Did Not Assault Her.

Richmond, May 13.-Miss Fannie
T. Chenault yesterday viewed for
the second time the body Of Samuel
Thompson, the negro shot by De-
tective Sergeant Krengcl Sunday
afternoon while resisting arrest, and
again said that he was not the man
who committed brutal assault upon
her Saturday night. The body had
been dressed in the clothes worn by
the negro at the time of the shoot
ing, but tie young woman stated to
the police officers who accompanied
her that the man was neither as tall
nor as heavy as her assailant.
Maintaining the same good spirits
and showing but few i'll effects Of the
reported treatment, the story OF
which shocked Henrico County and
Richmond, and caused a statewide
search for negroes wearing blue
overalls and black SLOUGH hats, Miss
Chenault appeared the least excited
of the group which entered the NOR
que at the Hayes undertaking rooms.
She showed no hesitancy in APP
preaching close to the marble slab
upon which the body lay, and in gaZ-
ing into the face Of the dead man.
She critically examined the features,
measured with her eye the size and
bulk Of the form, and then, shaking
her head in a negative way, said
that he could not have been the brute
of Saturday night.
Police are now in a quandery over
the disposition of the body. Thomp-
son was told several hours before
his death that it was improbable
that he could survive the effects of
the operation, and was asked to tell
the names and residence OF relatives
He refused to do so and the police
have as yet failed to learn Of any
family connection.
