In some places they maintain regu-

in still others they follow the street
car lines. The desire of the opeia a.

Cities are finding d fficulty in re-

Milwaukee Leader says:
THE 'jitney' cars are doing a
thriving business wherever they
have been introduced. The jitney
is designed to carry the citizen to
aud from his place of business or
employment or from one section of
the city to the other at a moderate
fare. 1t gives him the speed of an
automobile at cost slightly greater
than that of a street car ticket.
The city attorneys office has found
that ell that is needed to set up a

which may be had for $40. The op-

Nettie Durand sat at her typewriter
awaiting dictation.-. Meanwhile she |
stole a secret glance more than once |
at John BaIlentyne, office manager
for her employer, Mark Lane.
She marveled at his quiet, unob-
trusiVe ways. During the past six
months he was ever the reticent but
uniformly courteous young man on
all occasions. It had piqued Netie
somewhat, for she was used to at
tention, and from the first something
in the open, earnest face of her OF?

Somehow Nettie was impressed

young men she knew.

the Christian church. was. you
Won't DO IT, and in yoicing this ex-
preston he made plain that that par
ticular idea is responsib for so many
persons not protesting Christianity
today.
He cited children as showing the
spirit Of the expression, when. as it,
tie boys and girls. they tell their
parents taat they won't do this or
they won't do that, and said that il

Serrell, must have the desire for God.
To every man and woman God gives
the opportunity to accept Him. but
there is a spirit of won't do it,
among so many men and women of
today. Once that spirit is eliminated
then comes new life and greater
happiness.
Rev. Serrell referred to the old Gus.
toms that We're in vogue before
Christ came and stated that he
taught new ideas, which. when they
did not meet with the appreciation OF
the people, led to His crucifixion. He
made a most earnest plea that all in

REJOICING IN
THE CAPTURE
OF STRUM|TSA
Bulgarian Stronghold
Regarded of Great
Strategic Importance
in Holding German
Aid from Turkey

London, Oct. 1910 P. M
The reports that the Allies have
occupied Strumitsa and landed
at Enos, which was recently
transferred from Turkish to
Bulgarian rule, has caused a
more optimistic feeling through
out the allied countries. AS to
the progress of the near eastern
campaign, it is known from both
Serbian and German accounts
that Field Marshal Won Macken-
zen is meeting with greater re-
sistance than was expected and
although it is probable that the
Serbians eventually must fall
back on stronger strategic posi-
tons in the north, the fact that
the Allies are bringing heavy
forces against the Bulgarians,
and so placing them that the
Bulgarians will be compelled to
divide their armies, gives hope
here that the Germans may be
baked in their latest attempt
to reach the sea and bring as
sistance to the Turks.
