"Flappers" have got into the United
States Senate and are raising the Dick.
ems with that august body. Some of the
senators have discarded their male Sec
retaries and replaced them by pretty
girls with bobbed hair and skirts to
match, and couple of feet of silk stock
ings in harmony or enthusiastically
contrast. Senators who have hired these
''cute little flsppers" want them to have
the same privileges on the senate floor as
the male clerks. Many of the conserva-
tive members are opposing this innova-
ton on the ground that their presence
would be disquieting and might cause
them to forget the "piece" they were
speaking.

motor car industry, which appears in one
section of the paper every Saturday.
News and gossip among the dealers is
picked up through the week for this de-
partment; and the various dealers and
representatives of the different makes of
cars used to vie with one another to secure
the most publicity through sheer merit of
news; as no propaganda regarding the in
dividual merit of cars was allowed to
creep into the news items of the Blade,
due to the unerring and expert instinct of
Mr.. Hamilton and the advertising depart
ment, who for obvious reasons would not
permit such an encroachment on their de-
partment. You have undoubtedly read
the motor news in newspapers, so it will
be unnecessary to further describe this
branch. However, after short time of
probation, as it were, was entrusted
with this department in addition to my
other duties and came to know all the
auto and accessory men quite intimately;
and what fine bunch of men they arel
One man in particular found to be a
veritable fountain of news, of the legiti-
mate kind, too. No four-h flushing, horn
blowing tactics for his car or business, but
genuine human interest stuff from his un-
limited fund of experiences as a noted
racing driver; now retired, but in the SELL
inp game however
We will call him by his old racing sobri-
quet, "The Flying Frenchman." No
doubt readers who are motor enthusiasts
will recall the man. Tall, athletic and
graceful; with the good breeding, charm
and suavity of the legendary French Mar
quis, he was indeed character. On
meeting him one could readily believe the
many tales told of his prowess as driver.
Everything about the man was dark ex-
cept his clothes. Jet black curly hair;
dark-skinned, but blue-black where close
ly shaven; swapping black eyes, an
aquiline nose and prominent jaw; high
intelligent forehead; Aawless teeth and a
wiry, sinewy frame. That seems to de-
scribe him as accurately as can recall.
Since retiring from the track he in
dulged in his one weakness, loudness of
raiment, which he explained to me in this
fashion: "You see, M'sieu all the years

the good luck. Now, wear what
please. Is eet not so? Do you not think

toned was screaming scarlet, likewise
his socks. A pearl gray Fedora set at

suit and spats completed his attire, in
addition to the Frenchman's inevitable
walking stick. He was the only man of
my acquaintance who ever carried cane,
unless through disability. Despite his
dapper propensities he was immensely pop
ular and done huge volume of business,
at which he displayed remarkable acumen
and sagacity.
"The Flying Frenchman" possessed a
specially constructed "stock car" of the
racing type, that included such changes
as "cast-iron pistons, enlarged wheelbase,
body, motor position" and
many other alterations too technical to set
down, to distinguish it from the ordinary

personal use, out of the make of car he

"REMINISCENCES

HE room was suddenly plunged in a
Stygian darkness. A cooling zephyr
was gently waited through the open
window swaying imperceptibly the costly
curtains of peculiar design that adorned
the windows of the lofty apartment. Save
only the occasional breeze the July night
was insufferably hot and sultry. The sky
was overcast and cloudy, portending rain
that seemed, forever, coming. The moon
was enshrouded in a network of lacy
black clouds that gave faint illumination;
only garish phosphorescence was evident,
that intermittently cast foreboding rays on
earthly objects. Through the murk and
gloom one could fancy evil spirits stalk
ing abroad. Altogether, a portentous
night.
Far below, in the teeming city, activities
were gradually giving way to the reign of
the God Morpheus, save for the muffled
roar of the motley city noises, faint music
from eating palaces; sporadic traffic; the
sharp rapping of a vigilant officers night
stick; the staccato noise of infrequent tax
icabs as they whisked hither and yon,
bearing among others, boisterous cele-
brants, whose ribald shouts were scarcely
audible; mingled with other elements that

characteristic of the metropolitan city, at
midnight. 49,.
The interior of the apartment room was
tomblike in its ghastly silence. The mea-
sured and hollow tick-tock of the old
fashioned clock struck the ears like regu-
lated artillery. The atmosphere, though
fresh, was humid, and charged with cleo
tricity. Two feline eyes, like twin balls
of fire, glowed and radiated a sinister
luminosity from the depths of Morris
chair, where the creature with arched
back and bristling resentment, stood
poised, about to strike. Suddenly, an in
coherent gasp, gurgle, then 49,.

There, dear reader, is little diversion
which trust will sustain interest in these
weak lines. A depression I know, but
pardonable 1 hope, in the effort one must
exert to maintain interest in subject of
this kind 1t is too easy to become a
bore, however, am striving to avoid that
state.
AT the close of the preceding article we
met the managing editor of the Blade, Mr.
Walsh, and while speaking of him it
seems timely to relate another incident that
involved not only Mr.. Walsh but noted
automobile driver and myself, as WELL

a renewed sense of excitement, spin

street, which covers the city's environs in
that direction, and it is an ideal spot for
burst of speed, due to the excellent con-
dition of the pavement coupled with the
infrequency of pedestrians and "speed
cops" I distinctly remember glancing at
the speedometer, holding tightly the while
to the scant margin of the body alongside
the extra seat; and to my alarm made the
discovery that we were travelling at the
rate of ninety miles per hour or more, as
the indicator was gradually mounting
higher
At this juncture however, "Frenchy"

found by glancing at timepiece that we
only maintained the terrific speed :
ute or two. Horrors! 1t seemed like
hours. With the steady flow of trees,
telegraph poles, houses, etc. in a compact
mass past my vision; the tears streaming
down my face (not from fear, Oh! no)
from the biting wind, the time seemed in
terminable. Such was the sensation part
ly; the rest cannot adequately describe. =
But, let us get back to the incident
had in mind, involving the other gentle
man. All of the foregoing is only "pre
liminary to the main event,"-to adopt
phrase from the parlance of pug;lism.
One afternoon, after the last edition
had gone to press,-somehow after press
time the editorial room always savors of
hard fought battle, either won or lost;
the litter of papers on desk and floor, the
relaxation of many brain-fagged repor-
tiers; the acrid odor of tobacco smoke; the
profuse disarray of all that should be
order apparently; and above all that air
of well-earned quiet, rest, peace, that
woos soliloquy. 1t is said that in this hour
newspaper paragraphers and versifers get
in their best work-and the janitor was
industriously restoring order out of chaos,
the managing editor summoned me to his
desk, and with his usual simplicity and
geniality asked:
"How would you like to accompany the
"Flying Frenchman" on his qualifying
tests for the races to be held soon; and
conduct a special series of stories to boost
the races7" Can you imagine that? Just
a short time after my narrowing exper-
ience with "Frenchy" out on "North Main"
street. Ye Gods and wild women!, what
was 1 to do? To lay down on the job
was unthnkable, but Great Scott! couldn't
1 find some way to gracefully side-step
the issue3 Life is mighty sweet to me,
thought, and hesitated long time before
my frail person. Suddenly
the thought struck me that Mr.. Walsh
might gather the impression l was a
"piker." Forthwith, accepted the as
signment registering joy at the chance,
but reserving mentally considerable reluc-
tance assure you.

AMONG WORLDS HEROES

WING partly to the fact that the
number of men engaged in the Span
ish War was comparatively small,
but more largely due to the fact that the
veterans of that war period have been by
far too modest to claim the glory that
was theirs, the people of the Nation ap-
parently do not give full credit to the sac
rifces and the patriotism of the men who
offered their services in the early days of
1898, at time when the country was abb
solutely fearful of the results of the i'm
pending struggle with the kingdom of
Spain.
1t is such rarity to see in print any
eulogy or praise for the men of that period
that it is pleasure to reprint the follow
ing editorial from the Scrantonian of June
IS, published just after the close of the
Encampment of the Department of Penn
sylvania at Scranton, June 21-24:
mayor Durkan's welcome to the dele
gates to the 18th Encampment of the Span
ish War veterans in this city last week
vas timely and to the point. He compli-
mented the men on keeping alive the spirit
of '9S and praised their patriotism in re-
spending to their country's call in an
hour Of emergency. 1t is well-known
fact that there has been an element about
the country that has endeavored to belittle
the vaEor of the Spanish-American soldiers
because only few of the men who en-
listed 50 actual service. The stay-at-
homes have shown disposition to speak
of the services of the young men of 1898
as being of little importance in making
history.
"This is one of the most grave errors
ever made by the class that lis too proud
to fight AT the outbreak of the War
with Spain the United States, for all we
knew, was in greater danger than when
we rushed across the seas to the aid of
England and France, nearly IS years
later. The veterans of 1898 were all vol
unteers. No selection draft was necessary
to fill the ranks. AT the call of President
Mckinley they fastened to the defense Of
their country with the spirit of the patriots
of 1916. That the war proved brief,
one-sided affair made no difference. The
Spanish War veterans offered their lives
in the defense of their country.
Before the campaign of 1898 that
demonstrated the fighting qualities of Un
Gle Sans forces on land and sea, the
United States Government had for years
been held in contempt by the big powers
of Europe. We were practically ignored
in confabs promoted for the betterment of
the worlds affairs England, Germany
contempt or good-natured tolerance as
the conditions suggested or required.
Probably the only thing that saved us
from war with one or another of the
others. When England seemed hostile,
Russia usually became friendly, and when
Germany menaced us France or England
would show an interest in America. 1t
will be remembered that when the Ger
man Admiral at Manila Bay showed
disposition to interfere with Admiral
Dewey, the British naval commander i'm
took sides with Dewey and pre-
vented a scrap that might have involved
us in a war with Germany. AT the same
time it was understood that England was
prepared to take hand in page 4, Dol. -
