Reading Between tho Traffic Line,

Reading Between tho Traffic Line,
Sir: 1 humbly acknowledge that error
about Palm Beach via the Grand Central
Station. I came from there once (minus
the private carr by way of Chicago, and
BY that somewhat devious route I, of course,
landed at the above station. Incorporating
this in the story l quite forgot the Windy
City, which is thing cannot do, with
Impunity My only consolation in the matter
Is that Vincent and Rowena probably never
knew it, poor dears, being on their honey
moon About that limousine. Per-
fectly simple (explained) 1t did meet them
at the station. took them across Forty-thi,d
to Fifth, THEN started up Fifth, etc.
scorning going up Madison direct on ac-
count OF the car tracks, which, as every one
knows, is as red rag to a bull in the, er--
higher life Of effete limousine Besides,
one had better not detail too explicitly the
itinerary of the rich. They re proud, you
know, and naughty Perfectly simple-ex-
plained! Where is the C. RS we'll known
ability to read between the lines?

But Mrs. Cor Miss) Bryan's mention
of Grand Central Station is mac
curate. AS every copy reader and al
most nobody else, knows, it is Grand
Central Terminal. And though she
may have come to New York from
Chicago, she is no Chicagoenne. Only
outlanders speak of "the Windy City"
Perhaps" offers Pink, "John 2hey
may revive THE ,dy of Errors" And
it is Orson Lowell's notion that the
handsomest of the Presidential men
tionees is Senator Miles PogW ter.
Vivienne, Dulcinea's sister, called
Beekman 5000. "Goodby," she fare
welled, "don't take any wooden
alcohol"
We watched her breathing through the
night,
Her breathing soft and low.
There was cause for fear or fright

Those who still doubt the authen-
ticity of Daisy Ashford are implored
to read the following poem, written
by boy of seven
Be kind. be kind;
And evermore be kind.
Be kind to all the animals,
Be kind to the elephant
BE kind TO the little butterfly.
Be kind, be kind.
And evermore be kind.
You will notice." expounds Mile.
favard, who now is teaching in Chi
cago high school, and to whom, forty
years ago, in Keokuk, Iowa, Rupert
Hughes recited that, his first poem,
the definite obligation in the first
line; the large general idea in the
second, embracing the universe; the
moro specific-shall I say command p
III the third to lower order than our
selves, with specific examples in the
next two lines, and then a beautiful
return to the large general idea again
in the last line"
The Coming Tower hereby commits
itself to the candidacy of Henry J.
Allen. Governor Allen, if elected,
would be the first President since
Lincoln to have an 8. of h. And we
should like to see the experiment of
a President who takes his job more
seriously than he takes himself.
Such is the habit of years that
when the first thing we see in the
papers on cold morning is Spokane,
10; Denver, 2; Portland, Ore, 10;
Des Moines, 15, our first thought is
that the reference is to temperature
and not to the number Of "perfect
cases" arrested in those cities.
