"JITNEY" BUS SERVICE.

The "Jitney" bus service which has suddenly come into existence in cities all over the Pacific coast, bids fair to severely cripple traction companies wherever the former are operated. At Vancouver between two hundred and three hundred "Jitneys" are in use, the fares being the same as charg, ed by the street cars and the former have the advantage in the fact that they deliver their passengers at their own doors.
 Already the "Jitney" people in Van couver have organized and carry blanket insurance policies on their patrons, anyone injured while patron izing the service being paid to the extent of $1,5OO In Seattle the "Jit- ney" service has already cut into the income of the street car company to the extent of $1,z00 per day and in San Francisco and Los Angeles the loss to the traction companies per day is greater than in Seattle.
 The average city resident will not regret that street car companies are "getting theirs" for the reason that such companies, as a rule, are op- erated on "get-the-money" basis rather than for the accommodation of the public, to which they must look for support There is an old say ing to the effect that street car com panies lose all interest in the public welfare as soon as they obtain their franchises. Another advantage in the "Jitney" service is the speed with which it's busses are operated, caus- ing a great saving of time to its patrons.
 While the new service may work a hardship on corporations which have vast amounts of capital invested in equipment, the fact remains that if the same corporations would render satisfactory service, the demand for a change would not be so insistive as it has evidently been in practical ly all cities on the Pacific coast and elsewhere.-Ex.

Growing Old by Degrees.

Growing old has many stages. You can remember the time when in read ing your favorite author you were dis gusted to find that he had made his hero forty years old, and you wondered how he could be guilty of imputing TO- nance to such an unconscionable age. By and by. even though you found for ty years to be the old age of youth, you were solaced by the thought that 1t was the youth of old age, and still later you will wonder where youth ends and old age begins.-Neal Brown in National Magazine.

IilIjputian,

Lilliputian has become a word al most entirely substituted for dwarf. yet the term was only invented by Jonathan Swift in 1727 when he wrote his famous "Gulliver's Travels" In this weird little fable Swift created the island of Lilliput, of which the inhabit- ants were no greater in size than mans finger. Swift was a queer char acter, of an unhappy nature.

Birds In Winter.

Though birds have a much higher temperature than a man's-man's is 98 while theirs is 107-they suffer cruelty from the winter cold. In a mutton country it is not uncommon to find sheep with dead birds fastened on their backs. The little, cold creatures snuggle in the sheep's wool to get warm. their feet become entangled in the fleece, and they starve to death.

Vienna, Aug 26.-A strange scene was enacted few days ago in the Austrian prison camp at Groedig. When new transport of Russian prisoners was brought into one of them. a strapping young fellow, with outstretched arms, ran up to one of the Austrian soldiers on guard to em-
 brace and kiss him, joyously, and the Austrian, with tears in his eyes, re- turned the caresses.
 The two soldiers were cousins Their fathers, Hungarian farmers. parted many years ago, and one o1 them settled in Russia, where he be-
 came naturalized. In the spring o1
 last year this Russian sent his eldes
 son to Hungary to study agriculture
 and there the two cousins met for the
 first time.
 Then the war broke out. The Rus. sian was called home to enter tht
 czar's army and his Hungarian rela tive joined the colors of the dual mon archy. Both of them have been se verely wounded, but their strong con stitutions pulled them through.
