ous trip lasted longer. The meteoric flights of our tourists through Europe are in point; the automobile, also, il- lustrates the nervousness and swift ness of our pleasures. Motoring is broadening and delightful, but we are rushing into this amusenient with more than our usual national abandon, and hardly even find time to speed. When a pleasure becomes the vogue, con veniences and even necessities are sac rifced to it. We are like those tray elers of old who sold their lands to see other men's.-Walter E. Weyl. in Harper's.

AMERICAN HABIT 4 BAD ONE
That as Nation We Are Addicted to Concentrated Pleasure Is Un-
 doubtedIy True.

Pleasure is limited by the time to enjoy it; in enjoyment, time is more than money.
 It is forgetfulness of this fact which makes much of our American spending banal and sterile. With much money to spend and few hours in which to spend it, we become addicted to quick, concentrated, expensive pleasure. We cannot initiate the placid, fruitful economy of the Teuton, who takes his beer and music inexpensively and at his leisure. Nor are we like that ab- stemious German professor who, on his vacation, travelled on the slowest Bummelzug because that way the joy.

Massingale. As long as you're borrowing, you must be loyal and borrow of us. Good afternoon. Come again when we can help you out"
 David Massingale turned away, dazed and confused beyond the power Of speech. When the mists of astound- ment cleared he found himself in the street with the thick wad of bank notes still in his pocket. Suddenly, out of the limbo into which two years of laborious discipline and self-denial had pushed it stalked the demon of the ruling passion, mighty, overpower- ing. unconquerable The familiar street sights danced before Mas singale's eyes. and there was drum ming in his ears like the fall of many waters. But above the clamor rose the insistent voice Of the tempter, and the voice was at once command and an entreaty. a gnawing hunger and a Darching thirst.
 By gash! I'd like to try that old system O mine jest one more time!" he muttered. All it takes is money enough to foIler it up and stay. And I've got the money. Besides, didn't Bruillard say 1 was to get an eXten sion if I could?"
 He grabbed at his coat to be sure that the packet was still there, took two steps toward the bank, stopped, turned as if in the grasp of an invisible but irresistible captor, and moved away, like a man walking in his sleep, toward the lower avenue.
 It was the doorway of Haley's place, the Monte Carlo of the Niquoia, that finally halted him. Here the struggle was so fierce that the bartender, who knew him, named it sickness and led the stricken one to card table in the public bar-room and fetched him a lrink. A single swallow of whisky turned the scale. Massingale rose, ossed a coin to the bar, and passed quickly to the rear, where pair of 'aize doors opened silently and en-

 Three faro games, each with it's in- laid table, it's impassive dealer, it's armed lookout" and it's ring of silent players, lay beyond the baize doors.

He saw the distorted face-mask of soul in torment and heard the mum bling repetition of the despairing words, It's all gone, little girl; it's all gone!" and then he removed himself quickly beyond the range of the star ing, unseeing eyes.
 For in the lightning flash of reveal ment he realized that once again the good he would have done had turned to hideous evil in the doing, and that this time the sword thrust of the blind passion impulse had gone straight to the heart of love itself.

 Brouillard let the pony set it's own pace on the down-hill lap to the finish, freshened himself at his rooms in the Niquoia building, and went to the Metropole to eat his dinner with Mur- ray Grislow as his vis-a-yis. The bug zing throngs in the Metropole cafe and ] lobby annoyed him, and even Grislow s i quiet sarcasm as applied to the day s bubble-blowing failed to clear the air At the club there was the same atmos phere of unrest; an eXacerbating over charge of the suppressed activities i'm patiently waiting for another day oi excitement and opportunity. Corner lots and the astounding prices they had commanded filled the air in the lounge, the billiard room and the buff fet, and after few minutes Brouillart turned his back on the hubbub ant

Colonel Refuses Emphatically to Havr New Picture Made-Declares He Is Out of PoIitics-No Comment

e~~ * Chicago-Col. Roosevelt's an swer to the Progressive convention y follows: "The Progressive convention 1 am very grateful for the honor you confer upon me by nominating me as president. I cannot accept it at this time I do not know the attitude of the Republican party toward the vital questions of the day Therefore, if you desire an immediate decision. must decline *
 the nomination. But if you prefer * 1t I suggest that my conditional * refusal to run be placed in the hands of the Progressive National Committed If MT.

 Oyster Bay, N. Y.-When Col Roosevelt summoned the newspaper correspondents 10 Sagamore Hill to tell them he had tentatively refused the Progressive nomination for the presidency he had nothing to add to what he had said in his telegram to the convention at Chicago in regard 70 his present position.
 He told something, however, of the steps which led up to his message suggestion that Progressives and Re publicans united upon Senator Henry Cabot Lodge as a compromise candi- date. One Republican and two Pro, gressive conferees on the joint con- ference committee called him over the long distance telephone to explain the situation as it then stood.
 No Comment to Make.
 Col. Roosevelt informed them at that time he declared that he intend ed to suggest 1rrss-1RQint trs RQint nomination Of oei,lstoc 2f,ls.soe Lodge. All three cof1feffeees he said, seemed at that time to be agreed that such step would be sat isfactory. He declined to name the Republican member of the committee other than to say that he had been d supporter of Justice Hughes.
 Col Roosevelt sent hIs telegram of refusal to the Progressives before he had read Justices Hughes statement. Later when asked if he had any com ment to make on the Hughes state ment he replied:
 Not word; not word about any thing.
 Col. Roosevelt said he probably would have no further statement to make until after the Progressive na- tional committee gets together to de termine what attitude it will assume in regard to Justice Hughes candidacy or learns something further in regard to the Republican nominees position on the questions Col Roosevelt con- siders the most important now before the country.
 After he had ended his talk with the correspondents Col. Roosevelt was ask ed by a photographer to step out on the lawn that new picture might be taken of him.
 "No picture" the colone4 stated em phatically. q am out of politics"
