LONDON, August Richard Joshua

tobacco family went to Brixton Prison
last night starting a sentence of five
months imposed upon him yesterday by
q jury in Old Bailey. which found him
guilty of manslaughter in connection
with the death of Arthur Graham, a
motor cyclist, in an automobile accident
last May.
Besides having TO serve this time in
prison young Reynolds was assessed the
costs of the proceedings. He has al
ready made liberal provision for the
widow of Graham.
There was no mention of hard Ia
Dor" in the sentence and beginning to-
morrow Reynolds will be assigned to
Light work.
Out Before Christmas.
With good conduct he has a chance
of earning a small remission; also, since
the sentence dates from the beginning
of his trial at Old Bailey, he will be re-
leased before Christmas.
Young Reynolds took the verdict and
the sentence calmly.

the former hotel stenographer had
drawn up for him to pay her $500 a

Failure of both parties to sign the
agreement made the contract illegal, the
answer set out.
Miss Geisenfeld charged. in her suit
that Boggs made the alleged agreement
a year ago, but had failed to make any
payments and that he had further not
kept his promise to divorce his wife
and marry her.

Boundary Buyers
May Be Barred by
Tariff Amendment
BY the Associated Press.

by II1G ASSOClhbCo EICSos
Border merchants are greatly
aroused against the street car"
and ferry" tourists, who have
been dashing across the boundary
into Mexico or Canada and pur-
chasing their clothes where the
tariff doesn't apply.
The law allows travellers re-
turning from foreign lands an
exemption of 500 on purchases
brought home. 1t seems some of
the citizens who disregard the
trade home" signs have been
going across the border and pur-
chasing dutiable goods under the
500 mark.
An amendment has been sug-
gested to the tariff act to make
all purchases over the border
dutiable unless the returning
American has been abroad for
two weeks or more. The Senate
finance committee is giving seri-
Gus consideration to the proposal.

work Is 'Ths Story Of an African Farm"
There is q world in one Of the far-off
as they happen there.
In that world were man and
woman. They had one work and they
walked together side by side on many
days and were friends, and that Is q
thing that happens now and then IN
this world also.
But there was something In that
star.wOrld that there is not here. There
was q thick wood. Where the trees
grew closest and the stems were inter-
locked and the Summer sun never
shone there stood q shrine.
In the day all was quiet, but at night
when the stars shone or the moon
glinted on the treetops and all was
quiet below, II one crept here quite alone
and knelt on the steps of the stone altar
and uncoye-ing ones breast so wounded
It that the blood fell down on the altar
steps, then whatever he who knelt there
wished for was granted him.
And all this happens, as said, be-
cause It Is q far-off world and things
often happen there as they DO not hap
pen here.
NOW, the man and woman walked
together, and the woman wished well
to the man. One night when the moon
was shining so that the leaves OF all the
trees glinted and the waves Of the sea
were silvery the woman walked alone TO
the forest. It was dark there. The
moonlight fell only in little flecks on
the dead leaves under her feet and the
branches were knotted tight overhead.
Farther in it got darker. Not even a
fieck of moonlight shone. Then she
came to the shrine. She knelt down
before 1t and prayed. There came no
answer. Then she uncovered her breast.
With q sharp twO-edged sword that lay
there she wounded herself. The drops
dripped slowly down on the stone and
voice cried: what do you seek?"
She answered: There Is man. I
hold him nearer than anything. I
would give him the best of all bless
ings."
The voice said: what blessing is
that?"
The girl said: "I know not. but that
which Is most good for him I wish him
to have"
The voice said: "Your prayer is an
swered. He shall have it,
Then she stood up. She covered her
breast and held the garment tight upon
it with her hand and ran out of the
forest, and the dead leaves fiuttered
under her feet.
out in the moonlight the soft air was
blowing, and the sand glittered on the
beach. She ran along the smooth shore,
then suddenly she stood still.
Out across the water there was some
thing moving. She shaded her eyes and
looked. It was q boat. It was sliding
swiftly over the moonlit water out TO
sea.
One stood upright in the boat. The
face the moonlight did not show, but
the figure she knew. It was passing
swiftly. It seemed as II no one pro-
PEELED IL. The moonlight's simmer did
not let her see clearly, and the boat
was far from shore. but 1t seemed al
most as II there were another figure
sitting In the stern.

sort Of obsession. II that's the big word.
It gives you the Woody feeling and
makes you wonder how you got that
way. When you see the kind Of folks
who are paired Of you can believe that
love Is sort Of pleasant lunacy. That's
where the moon gets in its fne work.
When man loves he projects his
feelings out toward some girl ami then
thinks she was the cause Of them. The
man usually does this sort Of sf,ing
cnce, and it Is usually fatal.
The average man is capable Of ono
first-class fire, but after that it's usually
false alarm. That's because he takes
all the romance that's in him and
plasters 1t on some girl.
Fortunately for the man, the Girl
usually sticks, for he would find IL
hard to do his stuff over again, since
the amount Of rornanticism which the
average man carries doesn't fill mere
than bucket.
You know the rest, for woman then
stands like patience on q monument.
You might think that with all her new
independence she'd be tickle and I'M
faithful, but 1t takes more than q fob
to change the everlasting nature OF
woman's heart. She's in the Court Of
Love to stay.

The most practical Of small tables are
those which may be easily and quickly
folded up and put away. In the illus
tration Is one which will appeal to those
persons who indulge in frequent and
impromptu entertaining.
When there are several guests for
tea, lack Of space usually prevents set
ting out the cups or plates for the con-
venience Of every one, whereas with this
table drawn up between two chairs two
guests are sure to be comfortable and
the crowding Of the larger table Is
avoided.
This table Is made in two sizes
10 by "a inches and ~ by So inches
either one of these being appropriate
for q tea table. For use with lamp
at the side OF an easy chair the smaller
would be better
Being of mahogany, this smart little
table lends itself gracefully to living
room, library or even breakfast room,
where 1t may be used as q serving table.
For the latter perhaps the larger size
would be more practical.

Faster and faster It glided over the
water, away, away. She ran along the
shore. She came no nearer it. The
garment she had held closed fiuttered
open. She stretched cut her arms and
the moonlight shone on her long. loose
hair.
Then voice beside her whispered:
"What is it?"
She cried: with my blood I bought

The girl stood still.
Far out at sea the boat was lost to

She said: II am contented."
At her feet the waves broke In long

The little pill dropped within a few feet
of the hole. This apparently was no
accident. Drawing forth putter, the
caddy sank the ball for 3 or one less

Here was a brand Of golf that rather

SPRINGTIME
By D. G. PEATrrE.

A wrinkled, old, black face-a little
flower stand on the curb, deep in jon
quils--a merry bob, toothless grin that
was nevertheless a enediction-these
were Spring for me in the city streets.
To every one, of course, the FIRST jon
gull, the FIRST narcissus and "daf1es"
mean Spring. Not so often, perhaps, do
we associate the thoughts Of human
old age and the season when, as the
author of the Song Of Solomon" said,
the rains are over and gone and the
flowers appear on the earth.
And yet to me old faces, black or
white, are often springlike. An old
person who is sour and sorrowful Is no
better than November twilights, but one
who is CHEEKY and wise and indicated
is indubitably like the Spring.
For this sweet season that we see be-
ginning now, uncertain as child, is in
reality no stranger. It came just so
when not even red men were here to
smell the spice bush Towering out be-
side the runs and brooks, nor here to
hear the sparrow sing. The bloom upon
the cheek Of Spring Is like the smile Of
an old woman, gay and knowing. The
rhapsodies Of Omar on the feelings that
the Spring awakens attest to the same
ideas. In the "Rubaiyat" Spring
marches on over the ruins Of Babylon,
over the ground where Caesar bled, as
it did when emperor and town were
young.

To clean q brick fireplace, wash
1t with vinegar, then dry with a

Disconnect your electric iron as
