unforgettable face with n red scar
across the left cheek. He raised one
finger in an imperative gesture, signal

sprang up and walked hastily away
along the park path. Wondering

hesitated.' She seemed to be debating
whether to continue on down the ave

for she came on slowly toward where

observed her with interest. for she
was one of the prettiest girls evel

MADISON SQUARE GARDEN.

Everyone knows Madison Square Garden in the city of New York. some of us can remember back to the six-day 'go-as-you- please races. where men tested their staying pcs"- CTS. Practically all of us have seen the circus there. and the six-day bi- cycle races
 There have been great pusilistic matches. horse shows. dog shows. po- litical gatherings of all kinds. When ever anyone wanted n huge, con- venicnt place in which to hold a spec tacle. Madison square Garden Was procured.
 For the last few years there have been frequent rumors that the Gar don was to be torn down to make way for another of the great office build ing sky-scrapers of which New York is full. The rUmors caused almost consternation. one could not ina glue the metropolis without it's character istic place Of entertainment.
 These rumors have been set at rest
 
 promoter, best known as the pro- moter of big pugiIistic cham pionship contests. has ceased the building His statement shows that he has a sen timental regard for the traditions of the place: that he has practical conception of. the possibilities, and will begin by remodelling the in- terror. More people will be able to enjoy the entertainments there and with more comfort. The Garden will be under the charge of this man who is above all. a sportsman and one willing to take chances. He win con- tinue to have the old attractions and will add many new ones. The new permit of his holding Loxing matches to q decision within the Garden, and as Mir. Richards interest runs in this direction. 1t is to be presumed that there will be more and better contests of this sort than ever before in the city of New York.
 So the fan" who has followed the six-day bicycle race for many years: the circus enthusiast and many who arc now too young to have become such, will continue to have this unique place of amusement opening more often to the old attractions and prob ably to many new ones. New York city will not lose one of its great sightseeing wonders.

sELI'-ANAI.YSIS.

Too intense examination of self and ones own motives is physically and mentally exhausting. Moreover 1t ''overtrains" one in the fight to do things in decent sort of way. Nor bldtty often results. a.'
 N The idea is suggested by incidental remarks made by a disinterested thinker. concerning the profiteer of today. No class Is exempt. The poor are inclined to donounco the rich as gougcrs: iabo. .alls capitalists prof. toers. capitalists return the compIi- titIide in thls matter every man is iI,clined to look askance at every other, failing to see himself.
 Here is n case where an analysis of one's own actions and feelings is proper. m you are n brain worker are you asking more than your scrv- ices arc worth merely because your employer simply las to have your If you arc n laborer arc you doing the same thing; a tradcsman. a protcs- sional man?
 Thus the day for abstract self analysis Is not now. One should look at ones own lctions and demands in the most practical. concrete way. In spite of the high cost of living are you saving more money than ever be- fore in your life? This is a sin. pie way of getting at the truth.
 ''Everybody's doing It." is no ex- cuse for anything and never was. Every ideal of life would go by the board were it to obtain. Someone has to refrain from doing it" or the doing of it would progress until chaos would come and no man and no mans property would be safe.
 You should be one of those to set the way or one of those to join the small band of those who are not ''doinE It. The reward may appear to be far off. but like every other good thing it is more sure than any thing elBe within human contempIa ton. +a
