Dewey Michelini, Motor Truck
Driver.

One of THE Suns friends in the
advertising business has told us about
DEWEY MICHELINI, whom we should
take to be child Of 1893 If the de-
tails of his career did not indicate
that he must have been born before
the glorious year Of Manila, DEWEY,
Santiago and SAMPSON.
The hero Of this tale is chauffeur
of truck owned by a business house
in Jersey City. Our advertising friend
told us the name Of the truck and the
name of it's owners, but unfortunately
they have slipped our memory. The
truck was bought nine years ago.
DEWEY MIcHELINI assembled TO the
drivers seat the day 1t came into his
employers possession. Since that day
no other hand has turned its steering
wheel. He has guided It over 77,0OO
miles of good, medium and bad high
ways. He has delivered scores of
thousands of tons of commodities in
it. He has nursed 1t through acute
attacks of tire trouble and engine
trouble. He has petted the motor
when 1t was refractory, eased the
brakes when skilful work was neces-
sary to get out of tight places, nego-
tiated Shiny grades in congested traf-
fic and brought his truck back intact
after encountering careless drivers
who imperilled all the other users of
the highway.
To do all these things DEWEY
MIcHELINI has had to keep cool, think
straight and think all the time and
drive the other fellows cars besides
his own: that is, he has had to drive
his own truck as a truck should be
driven and at the same time be on
guard against the carelessness, the
stupidity, the neglect shown by any
other driver on the road.

THE RESTAURANT HOOK.
Eternal Vigilance Is the Price OF Hats
and Overcosts Too.

To THE EDITOR or THE SuN--Sir: There
never was n time when It behooved. the
man in q restaurant to watch his hat
and overcoat with SO much vigilance as
the present. The altitudinous. not to
say impossible. prices of these articles
Of apparel make thieves bold to a degree.
1 was present the other day when
man had his overcoat stolen from under
his very nose, SO to speak. 1t reminded
me of an incident Of my youth when
saw fox carry off a plump hen from
the front of the fowl house.
But It will pay q man at all times to
be vigilant, for there are some people
who, though honest enough. will take
hats or coats not their own from mere
observation-disclosures or stupidity
I had a curious experience of this not
long ago. / was seated at table with
my hat hung on a stand rack at my side.
Absorbed In my paper, / had forgotten
all about It, but when I got up to leave.
10 the hat was gone.
There were two other hats on the rack
and supposed one of these had been
left by the abstracter. but no; two
gentlemen seated at the next table in
formed me that the hats were theirs
Well, Il thought, that is the meanest
thief veto take my hat and not even
leave me his own.
was about to leave bareheaded when
a. waiter, observing my predicament
said: 81 guess that's your hat there,
SIR" pointing to another rack. And SO
it proved to be.
Now IT seems that the causer Of my
momentary embarrassment had absent
mindedly walked to the nearest rack
from the side Of the restaurant and
taken my hat, then, finding out his mis-
take, returned to the rack on which his
own hat was hung and made the neces-
sary substitution without thought of
the consequences, STRINUs.

Weary are we of old Jupiter Pluvius

Arching above US than heavens like

Day after day 10 the fall of rain uniform:
All the monotonous hours are alike;
Would tho Big Boss only call IN the cunsi-

We will agree that most strikes are pestif-

Which through the length of the land
are the rage.
But this would not be malign nor mallf-

Ho, then, J. Pluvlus, stalk on the stage!

THE GOOD. SWEET MAID.
She No Longer Lets Somebody Els,
Be Clever,

To THE EDITOR OF THE SuN-Sh: In
the mid-Victorian era Charles Kingsley
wrote "A Farewell in which occurs the
following stanza:
Be good. sweet maid, and let who will
be clever;
Do noble things. not dream them, all
day long:
And SO make life, death and that vast
forever
One grand sweet song
oh me, ah my! That might have been
all right enough in Kingsley's day, but
what does the sweet maid of the twen-
tieth century say to the sentiment that
she cannot be clever and good at the
same time? Times have changed and
women have entered into about every
sphere of activity in life and are think
ing Of other things than holding hands
and singing songs through that vast for
ever. ARLINGTON H. CARAVAN.

In his work about his car is, accord
ing to his fellow chauffeurs, almost
as much as mans life Is worth"
What a chauffeur-mechanici can and
should do to keep the machinery en-
trusted to his care In proper condition
le does with his own hands. He
wants no help. He wants to know
that everything Is we'll done, and SO
he does everything himself.
To-day DEWEY MIoHELINI is con-
WINGED that the truck he has piloted
so successfully for nine years is as
strong as any younger truck, sturdy
enough to last another nine years in
heavy service, better than any other
truck, young or old, which any factory
has turned out. Moreover, he regards
It as his truck, and his employers
would think long while before they
raised the point Of ownership.
II DEWEY MIcHEINI were sui ge-
neris, If there were not another truck
driver like him, he would be be-
sought to exhibit himself in a circus
side show, or the authorities would
lock him up in an asylum for lunatics.
But he Is not sui generis. There
are thousands and hundreds of thou
sands of intelligent, faithful, clear
sighted men like him in the United
States. They do their work thought
fully. consclentiously, thoroughly.
They identify themselves with their
employers. They recognize that their
interests are identical with the inter-
ests Of the managers who happen to
direct their labors and the subordi-
mates who assist them in their tasks.
On trucks and in counting rooms, in
shops and in offices, on the land and
on the sea, such men in their thou
sands, earnest, calm, and clearsighted
in their devotion to duty, are keeping
the world right side up as the human
family progresses-and progress 1t
does, even in disjointed times like
these-toward better things, and on
them we may count to pull US through
our troubles.

Some recent news dispatches dis
prove the pessimistic statement that
man is so engrossed in his own affairs
that he has no interest in the animal
kingdom" From Victoria, B. c., comes
the information that a female hump
back whale which has two hind legs
has been caught and that the manager
Of the Consolidated Whaling Company
says that Gin his twenty years of whal-
ing experience he never heard of
whales having legs on the exterior"
Manhattan, Kansas, reports that "blue
rats and rabbits have been produced"
and that now "Dr. H. L. IsBEN, pro-
fessor Of genetics and color heritage
in the Kansas State Agricultural Col
lege, Is conducting an experiment to
produce guinea pigs that have an azure
color" These two incidents should
break that wave Of pessimism."

The Kansas City Independent, ever
alert about it's proper business to aid
and encourage the correct civic spirit
in that metropolis of the Astounding
prairies, utters some plain hints as to
the social attitude to be observed
toward the Belgian royal couple upon
their visit to the city by the Kaw and
Missouri. 'MonarIhs of other coun
tries" 1t reminds its readers, ARE en-
titled to the same respect and atten-
ton that we accord to the Presidents
Of our own country" Fair enough, yet
a trifie vague as to the precise thought
which prompted the adjective slant OBJ
served in "other." The brisk writer
continues: 81 actually believe that
some of the folks here think that
ALBERT is going to wear an ermine
cloak and jewelled crown" We guess
that that was writ sarcastic" But
what follows seems to ring with
earnest conviction: IF Queen ELIZA
BETH has one real good evening gown
in her baggage I'll be surprised" If
the amiable and unassuming lady has
one really good evening gown in her
baggage and is well advised she will
wear 1t in Kansas City, knowing what
delight will accompany the surprise.
