What Place Is This ?

You have been on the train hundreds Of times
and heard this question asked whenever the train
stops at station goes through town This is
especially true at night when, on account of the
lights, many times town appears larger than it
really is. The answer is wrong in o0% of the
cases. showing that the travelling public knowvery
little of the locations of towns they pass through
The up-to-date towns at the present time
placing electric signs with very large letters
tanning only the name of the town. These signs
are generally placed one to two hundred feet away
from the train they readily catch the eye of the
passengers, and are easily read, even though the
trains do not stop. 1t is hard to imagine any bet
ter advertising than this. When people are rid
ing on the train general rule their minds are
not occupied, and are very receptive. The name
of the town in letters ten feet high of startling
brilliancy impresses them very decidedly and they
never can thereafter forget the road that the town
is on or about where it is.

fore Judge Hough in the federal dis
trIci court By Ada Gafner. one time
maid for the Breitungs.
Though she had testified a; the first

. cussion concerning the future OF

The maid described In detail the
pleadings which Mrs. Kleist. the
brown eyed. seif-possessed young
woman who sat beside her parents in
the court room. made 10 her father in
behalf OF the young gardener whom
she rad married clandestinely.
The father had proposed giving
Kleist job in a mine In New Mexico.
and az first Mrs. Kleist had protested.
She had vowed her love for the young
.
according 20 the maid. who overheard
the conversation. that II she went
away with Kleist he. the father. would
have him arrested for nonsupport, but
that n Kleist went west for six
months and made good Juliet could
have him.
Mrs. Kieist. according 20 tine maid.
then produced a list OF questions and
said TO her father; NOW, l want you
20 answer these questions"
The questions. as,deveioped b. Z. G..
Crowley. attorney for Kleist. and De
lsncy Nicoli. attorney for the Brett
unEs. on the concentration were
practically as follows;
Would Kleist be made foreman Of
the mine In New Mexico as soon as il
developed sufficiently. and would he
start 20 work out there at once prac-
tically as an assistant 10 the foreman?
Nir BreitunE. according to the maid,
promised that Kleist would.
Would Juliet be allowed 10 write
twice a week 20 her young husband?

Would Juliet be allowed 10 see Max
az Christmas. then a few days away?
The father promised. according 10 the
maid.
Would she be allowed 10 see her
husband twice a year. II he went west?
Mr. Prcitung promised, the maid said,
that hts daughter would.
Then the maid went on 20 relate
talk that occurred between Mrs. Kleist
and her mother. The maid charged
that Mrs. Breitung was trying TO pre-
vail on her daughter 10 give up Kleist.
II don't want you 20 have q manure
shoveier for a husband" Mrs. Brett
ung vas quoted as having said. "One
OF these days you will be one OF the
richest women IN the United States.
You can make a better match than
that
The maid testified that there was
quarrel between Juliet and her moth
cr. and that Juliet came out OF the
conflict with a black eve and torn
shirtwaist. There was another quar-
rel a few days afterward, the maid
said. and blows were struck.
Mrs. Breitung ordered me not 20
let Juliet get any letters written by
Max 10 her and told me not 20 let
her telephone TO Max. But Juliet said

NEW YORK, April SO.-Racing af-
ter all may be coming into its own
again in New York despite the not
over sanguine prognosticatiOns of
those who figured that a 1915 season,
conducted along the lines of the var
ious race meetings of last year, would
end in a natural death for the sport

The various tracks. sheds cOnsidera-
ble light of 4 growingly brilliant hue
on the amount OF money distributed
TO horsemen in stakes and purses. In
ninety-four racing days. S425,000 went
TO the owners Of the thOroughbreds.
This indicates. considering that the
promoters admit small profits, that
about 100000 was taken in.
Very nice sums these, but the aver
age horseman asks more. He has
been wont to gaze upon variegated
figures such, for instance. as those
handed out by the man who prints the
