Chicago Dealer Confirms Story of Practice, Coming From Kansas City. CHICAGO, Aug. 81.—Cigar dealers in Chicago confirm the report from Kansas City that women are smoking cigars. C. E. Ingersoll of the Strat- ford Hotel said: Why, women hat@ been «smokt cigars in Chicago for a lang _ time, I get so many orders from women jfor cigars that I could not tell you off hand the exact amount. They don’t ask for any light, small cigar, though. And I don’t think they smoke it through a holder. “They usually smoke a brand that comes about two for a quarter. They select them just the same as men do, black, strong ones and light panatellas, according to their tastes. They’re smoking them just the way they began smoking cigarettes.” FISHBALLS AND EGGS AS MIDNIGHT LUNCH

$228,851, an increase Of4 Helpless Sufferer Makes Remark\ able Plea Through New York World. YEARNS FOR THE END Dictates Letter in Which She Urges Legal Euthanasia in Such Cases. J

NEW YORK, Aug. 31.—Mrs. Harris, hopelessly an invalid and now a patient at the Audubon Sanitarium at 8 St. Nicholas place, this city, writes to the New York World a pitiful letter in which she raises the question of ‘whether, when through illness°and de- spair,iife has become intolerable to the sufferer, the State sheuld not permit the extinction of the human creature so afflicted. Mrs. Harris is the wife of Lewis Har- ris of 8 West One’ Hundred and Nine- teenth street, a man in comfortable cir- cumstances. She went to the Audubon Sanitarium nine months ago. Save only 7 for the power of speech thé woman is utterly helpless from paralysis. To a friend, F. Visanski, she dictated: the following remarkable statement, with the request that it be sent to the World: “Can the busy throng stop long enough from their various avocations in life to consider a most vita! question from one of the greatest sufferers who inhabits this. beautiful world? ‘Various mechanical inventions are be- ing pushed in which many shining lights lose their lives, and yet one ques- tion, the greatest of all, how ‘to end the suffering of hopeless, helpless suf- ferers, has never been delved indo, Helpless Three Years. “‘Here in the early thirties, a young woman stretched on a bed, immobile, bereft of the great motor engine of her constitution for the past three years, which places her in an absolutely par- alyzed condition in which she is unable to exert a single muscle of her body, besides suffering much pain, yet in fui. possession of the strength of her men- tongue can relate nor pen describe. Mas- ter minds of medical science, skilled diagnosticians, have exhausted their ef- forts in bringing about some relief or cure. “Now, why should not the State take the matter in its hands and the wretch- edness of such poor sufferers? “Let us stop long enough to think that when a brute, the Iowest of the ani- mal kingdom, becomes . inactive and doomed to suffer, its suffering is put « an end; and here a human being, the highest and noblest of created beings, must linger and suffer on until the vital organs give way, which may be an in- definite number of years. What a cruel order of the universe! State Only Can Act. ‘‘Naturally, one’s own loved ones can- not bring this about. Your physician cannot do it, for he would be econ demned, so the only means is the Stata. “Anyone who shall take up my caso. as it requires a pioneer in everything, would win an everlasting debt of grati- tude from one of the greatest sufferers on earth. “Dictated by “MRS. SARAH HARRIS, the sufferer.” RICH MAN IS KILLED WHEN CAR HITS. AUTO Father and Another Relative of Elgin Man Believed to Be Fa- tally Injured. WHEATON, Ill., Aug. 31.—H. B. Lan- don, wealthy resident of South Elgin, was killed and two men were injured, probably fatally, when an automobile in which they were driving to the races at Elgin, Ill., was struck by an interur- ban car at Jewell road, one mile west of here, today. The automobile was struck by an Aurora, Elgin ‘and Chicago car at a crossing, and the three men wer? thrown into a ditch % feet deep. The driver was picked up dead. His father, C. B. Lando of Syracuse, N. Y., was found to have suffered a fractured skull and B. K. Landon was so ssriously in- jured it was said at a hospital that he would die. _. The accident was similar to one yes- terday, when J. R. Ballinger, riding in 6n automobile to the race was killed.

TAKEN AT A CHAUTAUQUA. : | Herbert N. Crowley Talks of Proceedings Wife Brought Against Him.

While Mrs. Anna M. Crowley was re- fusing Saturday to discuss one state- ment in a deposition filed in her divorce suit against Herbert N. Crowl2y, the husband confirmed another. Mrs. Crowley had nothing to say about a charge that she had held hands with 4 man other than her husbarn<. but Crowley admitted he had gambled. He said he played cafds for money once in 2 while but that his wifs knew all about it. A deposition of a relative had named Mrs. Crowley, who is living at 1264 GoodfeHow avenue, and Dr. Jesse D. White, 6003 Maple avenue, in the hand- holding episode. The deposition is on file in Judge McQuillin's court. The allegations regarding Mrs. Crow- ley and Dr. White are embodied in a deposition by Miss Mayme Josephine McKay of Berkeley, Cal., a cousin of Crowley. The deposition is on file in Judge McG@uillin’s court. Crowley, with some reluctance, talked to a reporter who found him at the rlumbing shop of his father, James H. Crowley, 5895 Delmar boulevard. The younger Crowley had just arrived with his little daughter, whom he takes from her mother for a short time each day by order of the court. “My wife charges me with gambling,” said Crowley. “It is true that I used to play cards but only at littls social games and when . Mrs. Crowley was present. If I won a little sum, I gave it to her. If my winnings were consider- able I used them to buy something for her.’’ Miss McKay .admits in her deposition that she knew Crowlsy gambled, but says his gambling never wrought any hardship in the home, as Mrs. Crowley charges, Be gh te ally Re A ' Affectionate Pictures Shown. Attached to the deposition ‘are pic- tures of a man and woman in affection- ats attitudes. They were introduced in evidence by Attorney C. A. Newton, representing Mrs. Crowley, for the pur- pose of refreshing the deponent’s mem- ory as to whether she had met a man named Moore at a chautauqua at Sul- phur, Ok., about eight years ago. The witness after looking at the pic- tures, recalled the meeting and ex- plained that the pictur2s were taken ‘for fun.” The deposition does not disclose the identity of the couple. Attorney New- ton, who went to Califorhia to cross- examine the deponent, told a Post-Dis- patch reporter that hs would try to show when the case comes up for argu- ‘nent that the man in the picture is Moore and his cumpanion is the witness, Miss McKay. Miss McKay deposes that she was in St. Louis in 1906, at the home of her. uncle, .Jame2s H. Crowley, $3895 Delmar houlevard, father of the defendant. While calling at the home of the Her- bert Crowleys, then at 6001 Maple ave- rue, Miss McKay said she suddenly came upon th plaintiff and Dr. Jesse D. White, in the hall of the Crowley home in an affectionate pose. White, according to the witness, was holding Mrs. Crowley’s hand and patting it. Couple Greatly Embarrassed. The appearance of the cousin threw the two into confusion, she dsclares, and White, after a few moments, ex- plained he had called to use the tele- phone. White and his wife, at the time, lived next door to the Crowleys, Miss McKay says. On cross-examination Miss McKay ad- mitted that White often called the Crowley home by telephone to talk witn his wife. She also admitted that her cousin, Herbert, gambléd, but said she did not care to “‘krock” him any more than necessary. Testimony in the Crowley case was heard in Jume by Judge McQuillin, but he deferred his decision until Miss Mc- Kay's deposition “was submitted. Both Dr. White and his wife were witnesses at the trial for Mrs. Crowley. Dr. White denied improper conduct towards Mrs. Crowley, and his wife de- clared her confidence in both. White, who ts president of the St. Louls Dental Society, lives at 19 Parkland place. Crowley has a sult for $50,000 damages. alleging alienation of his wife’s affec- tions. against his father-in-law and brother-in-law, FE. L. Dosenbach and J. E. Dosenbacnh, respectively, and a suit for $5000 against the elder Dosenbach alleging slander. E. L. Dosenbath re- sides at 5837 Julian avenue.

The village of Altheim, 17 miles west of St. Louis on the Clayton road, was swept by a $15,000 fire, which. was dis- covered at'8 o’clock Saturday. morning.

Desertion Allegation Fails to Win Decree in One Case, Succeeds in the Other.

3y Associated Press. RENO,Nev., Aug. 31. —Mrs. Edna Hutt, wife of Henry Hutt, the artist, was denied a decree of divorce in the District Court here by Judge French. The Court held that Mrs. Hutt’s allegation of will- ful desertion had not been substan- tiated. Hutt is well known as an illustrator by his work in magazines and newspa-

pers. His wife had been his model. She was the original of the Hutt girl, in which Hutt reached his ideal in the por- trayal of the feminine figure. He often declared that her figure was more beau- tiful than that of the Venus de Milo. Philip C. Dodge, president of the Mer- genthaler Linotype Co., was granted a decree of divorce from Margaret Dodge by Judge John S. Orr. Dodge alleged desertion, saying that his wife left him while they were visit- ing in Europe. There was no contest.

Se HAPPY THO’ MARRIED? There are unhappy married lives, but a large percentage of these unhappy homes are due to the illness of the wife, mother or daughter. The feelings of nervousness, the befogged mind, the il}temper, the pale and wrinkled face, hollow and "circled eyes, result most often from those disorders peculiar to women. For the woman to be happy and good-looking she must naturally have good health. Hysteria, hot-flashes or constantly returning pains and aches—are too great a drain upon a woman’s vitality and strength. Dr. Pierce’s Favorite Prescription restores weak and sick women to sound health by regulating and correcting the local disorders which are generally responsi- ble for the above distressing symptoms. “I suffered greatly for a number of years, and for the past three years was so bad Mrs. B.

temptible level as those of which the head of the Woolen Trust stands accused. It is virtually an accusation that lawless indus- try and lawless capital used methods comparable to the McNamaras’ and worse—that the dynamite was placed witn the purpose of making it appear to be the crime of the strikers and a means of “in- timidation,” thus to prejudice the public against the strikers and create sympathy for their em- ployers. Lawless capital in the past has employed hired raurderers against rioters; it has availed itself of secret agencies and means of stealth and strategy as well as those of open violence; but it has here- tofore maintained at least a pretense of law at its back or obtained the connivance of autho-ity.

MORGAN WON. Alf of the great financial interests contributed large sums of money in 1904 to buy the friendship of the Roosevelt administration. J. Pierpont Mor- gan won; Harriman and the Standard Oil Co. lost No definite information has ever been obtained as to the total amount of the Morgan bid. One 0? his partners, Mr. Stotesbury, helped to collect _-the Roosevelt campaign fund in Pennsylvania. Another~partner, Mr. Perkins, helped to collect the Roosevelt campaign fund in New York. It was -through Mr. Perkins that the money of the New York Life Insurance’ Co. was poured into the Roosevelt campaign chest. Mr. Frick, who is as- sociated with Mr. Morgan in railroads and in the Steel Trust raised an additional $100,000 to make good any losses that the Roosevelt campaign chest sustained as a result of the Standard Oil incident. Mr. Morgan’s own contributions are still a secret. ‘his much is certain: The Morgan interests, : “om have been so friendly to us,” were lavish ih financing the Roosevelt campaign, and the Mor- gan interests were always protected by the Roose- . ' ve © administration, which took them into part- | with the United States Government. - When the Roosevelt panic came in 1907 the ‘United States Treasury was turned over to Mr. _ Morgan, who loaned the money of the American people at “reasonable ra gamblers of Wall street. | - When Mr. Morgan and his associat.s asked Mr. Roosevelt for permission to acquire the Tennes- _ see Coa] and Iron Co. for the Steel Trust this con- _ ®ent was instantly granted. Mr. Roosevelt not ” to the frantic stock only licensed the merger, but be is etill one of its most ardent defenders. , When Mr. Morgan and his associates, in the way of further profit from the panic, undertook to ac- quire the coastwise steamship lines for the New : Haven Railroad the power of the Roosevelt ad- _ Mministration again came to their aid. Although the clamor raised by the Boston and Maine deal sub- ‘Sequently made it advisable for Mr. Roosevelt's - Attorney-General to begin a farcical proceeding against the New Haven, the bill of complaint omitted any reference to the traffic monopoly ob- tained through the purchase of the coastwise Steamship lines. As this was the only real viola- tion of the Interstate Commerce law involved in the New Haven’s policy, the case collapsed. _ When the Harvester Trust was in danger, Mr. Roo again went to Mr. Morgan’s rescue, and Ordered the Attorney-General to take no action without consulting the White House. As for the Steel Trust, Mr. Roosevelt not only protected it ‘from prosecution, but he was an unyielding bul- Wark of defense against any tampering with the tariff duties which sustain that billion-dollar cor- service, Robert Bacon, one of Mr. Morgan's part- ‘Rers, was appointed Assistant Secretary of State, - @nd then Secretary of State in the Roosevelt Cabi- . net, and Herbert L. Satterlee, Mr. Morgan’s son-in- law, was made Assistant Secretary of the Navy. _ On the other hand, the Standard Oil Co. received E in return for its paltry $100,000. It was.as : as the Tobacco Trust, which refused to con- tribute $100,000, Both were promptly prosecuted by the Roosevelt administration. Mr. Harriman’s $260,000 availed him nothing, for, in 1906, he re- sed to give up any more money to elect a Roose- _ ¥elt Congress, and he also made himself a menace to Mr. Morgan. As a result, Mr. Harriman straight- became an “undesirable citizen,” whom the OC it administration pursued ruthlessly, al- though ineffectively. The Standard Oil contribu- tion and the Harriman contributions to the Roose- velt campaign fund totaled $360,000. What, then, ust have been the value of the Morgan services | Mr. Roosevelt in 1904 that the whole power of

Today we find it charged with crime without a show of sanction and in enmity to law itself. To- day we see it at arm’s length with the force of organized society against which ‘t is accused of raising a brutal and treacherous hand. Today we observe it arraigned as a foe to peace and order, charged with using the weapon of anarchy with a motive of twofold baseness. Incidentally what an astounding scene is pre- cipitated when the tariff baron, the pampered and fattened favorite of protection, the particular pet of a President and his party and most recent re- cipient of their favor—in short, the chief bene- ficiary of Mr. Taft’s wool bill veto—is brought to the bar charged at once with a crime of low cunning against his fellow man and a conspiracy against the peace and dignity of the Common- wealth! President Wood stoutly asserts his innocence, and denies any connection with the dynamite ‘*planting.” The law presumes that the accused is innocent until proven guilty. Public opinion may well af- ford to bide the law’s decision. There is no un- just “demand for a conviction” in advance of the trial, no clamor for punishment irrespective of guilt or innocence, “But public opinion may Well ponder the ques- tion which the indictment of President Wood sug- gests, wholly aside from the question of guilt or innocence in his case. Labor has had its Mc- Namaras in the past. Has lawless capital in the past had its own dynamiters and criminals of that ilk, and has unionism been made to suffer for their crimes in addition to those of its own law- less men? . A di

Mr. Taft seems to have an idea that Armaged- don is located in avicaragua. Da A > — i i ALTRUISM AT GRANITE CITY. At Granite City a pastor’s wife ani eight mem- bers of the Church Ladies’ Aid Society formed a housecleaning party in neighborly spirit to give a pleasant surprise to a sister who had lately made application to the courts for a divorce. The lady of the house—an employe in a local industry since her domestic trouble—heard about it, and hastened home to find the nine women giving an extra and altruistic polish to her premises with soapsuds, mops, dust cloths and brooms. Because the indignant lady of the house, not content with ordering them away in high-tempered resentment, ungraciously caused the arrest of every one of them, and the pastor, too, on a charge of trespass, it must not be supposed that altruism in Granite City has received any permrnent jolt. Far from it. There and elsewhere amiable and well intentioned persons will continue to insist that cer- tain other persons shall be denied the inalienable right to work out their own salvation. Diffusion of sunshine into other folk’s lives may be attended with a trifle more caution about the specific brand jof altruism that reflects on the quality of a spirited woman’s housekeeping, but in general the amiable and well intentioned will continue to be harrassed by a vast solicitude for matters that do not con- cern them, and to shoulder unselfishly a miscel- laneous line of troubles that appertain to fhe oth- . er fellow’s business. Most of the trespass committed by altruism on reserved premises unfortunately does rot fall w,. in the strict definition of the penal statute. ,

Why all this denunciation of the sheath skirt? It has no mention whatever in the Colenel’s Chi- cago inventory of evils to be reformed. = = * i is NO’ LIGHT FROM VANCOUVER. A short time ago the Post-Dispatch printed a letter, signed “J. H. 8.,” which quoted a state- ment made by Mr. L. D. Taylor, ex-Mayor of Vancouver, ‘British Columbia, in which he at- tempted to show that that city, and the surround- ing country, had been immensely benefited by what is called the Single Tax. It was stated that Vancouver had adopted a system of taxation simi- lar to the one proposed in the tax amendments to 1 be submitted to the in Missouri this fall.

4 Another writer, DavMi/I. Zucker, publisher of, foe SO eM vee ae ¥ a St. Louis Real Hstate periodical, calls atten-| tion to the fact that there can be no comparison ‘between Vancouver and Missouri, for the very good reason that in addition to the tax on real es- tate, there is a poll tax, anin tax, and a per- sonal property tax. “The only change in our system in recent years was effected by the bylaw to wholly exempt from taxation the improvements and buildings ereeted on land within the city.” In answer to the claim that this has caused a phenomenal increase in building in Vancouver, figures are given showing that several other Brit- ist Columbian cities, in which no such exemption law exists, have made far greater strides in build- ing permits than has Vancouver in the same period. Evidently we shall have to look elsewhere than ta Vancouver for light on the Single Tax problem as it is presented to the voters in Missouri. ha Ae A ss a LETTERS FROM THE PEOPLE Accidents in Sky-Scraper Erection. To the Editor of the Post-Dispatch. While it is true that a certain number of ac- cidents are unavoidable in erecting sky-scrapers, more care on the part of contractors would save life and limb. I believe a city ordinance requires contractors to place planks across openings, so that if a workman happens to fall, he may not gc down more than a single story, thus having a chance for his life. Why does not the Build- ing Commissioner insist that this be done in every case? As soon as the four uprights are placed, and the four horizontal pieces that con- nect them at the top, planks should be placed across the opening, covering the entire space, before another story is started. This would save life. The neglect to take this very simple pre- caution appears to me to be criminal. ‘ OBSERVER.’

Legal Favoritism and Chicanery. To the Editor of the Post-Dispatch. If an ordirary firm extorts money in violation of law, the court will order the money to be re- turned, with interest, and the court costs and probably a fine paid in addition. If the trusts, including our Terminal company, extort money from the people in violation of law, the courts will say, “If you quit extorting to a certain ex- tent, you may keep what you have illegally ex- tcerted for 20 or 30 years; you need not pay a fine for violating the law, nor court costs, and vou can obey as much of the court’s orders as suits you. “The remainder you can continue to argue about for 10 er 15 years more, though we have already told you that in our opinion you will still be bleeding the people.” There is one interpretation for the rich and another for the rest of us. That is why there are scpffers at the “sacredness of the judiciary,” and an agitation for the recall of judges. JEFF MACKAY. More Transfers Wanted. Te the Editor of ths Post-Dispatch. I read in this morning’s paper where the United Railways Co. have volunteered to issue double transfers on certain lines, for instance, lines run- ning east and west, for 5-cent fare, will issue transfer as usual to north and south lines, and then an extra transfer may be obtafned from nerth and south lines to east and west with the exception of the Grand avenue line. That is very kind and considerate of the United Railways Co., but how about the many people who live where such a system will be of no more benefit than the present one? For instance: People living in Wal- nut Park, at the north end of the Union line; if compelled to go anywhere in South St. Louis not in reach of the Bellefontaine, line, will have to pay a 10-cent fare as usual, for if you pay 5-cent fare on Union you may get transfer to east and west lines, but no extra transfer can be had of the east and west lines, andthe farthest southern transfer point on the Union is the Olive street line, Now, where is the justice in such a system? The people of Walnut Park have been calling for 6-cent fare or an extra transfer for ‘the last five years, and it seems strange that the United Railways Co. could not just as easily grant this where it is necessary, just as well as what they have volunteered to do. 4. De NAMROTS, St. Louis the Representative, To the Editor of the Post-Drspatch. : In your valuable paper of the 29th inst there ap- peared an editorial entitled The “Representative” City, In which you mention the fact and put the question: “Where else can the visitor from abroad study as advantageously American types, Amer- ican problems and the American atmosphere as right here in St. Louis?” This city is, of course, the truly representative city of the United States, for @®e good and sufficient reasons, set forth in your concisé and admirable editorial. even come all the way from Cairo, Egypt, to the city of St. Louis, in the great State of Missouri to pick up lessons in American freedom. GEORGE A. RITTER. Shall Women ‘‘Bob’’ Their Hair? To the Edjtor of the Post-Dispatch. Why is it some women are so anxious to curry favor with men they will oppose needed reforms for their own sex? How is “bobbed” hair any more mannish than tailored shirt waists with mannish collars and ties? If “bobbed” hair was “the fashion,” men would run after women with “bobbed” hair, the same as they do after women with tight short skirts, peek-a-boo walsts, etc. hey would also have the millions now given to hairdressers and doctors. No woman who wears skirts,looks mannish and the nauseating stuff written by favor-seekers should be judged for its true worth. Men will always like women whether they wear short hair or not, and long, unhealthy, troublesome ex- pensive hair will be abolished as civilization and sanitation advance. ANOTHER WOMAN More Barns Wanted. To the Editor of the Post-Dispatch. E. F. is right about the scarcity of barns in St. Louis. I have several horses and have looked for a house with a large lot and barn for over six weeks, but can't find one. A few houses have large lots, but no barns. Why? I¢ any of the heuses I saw had had a barn for even half a dozen horsés, I would have taken one. Another thing I can’t understand is: Why don’t property owners have fences around their prop- erty to protect it? No wonder houses are ruined by hoodlums, I have seen many nice houses and lawns ruined just because every hoodlum, bad boy and dog in town had free access to it. A house looks more private, anyway, with a fence. BUILDER, Protect Americans in Mexico, fo the Editor of the Post-Dispatch. I see by the morning’s paper that another citi- zen of the United States has paid with his life in trying to protect his family against the handits of Mexico, and I also see a general of the rebel army has set a day on which all Americans are to be massacred. \I suppose this will be answered by our diplomatic President tn his usual way, by notifying them that they must protect all Amer- leans and American property. This same notice bas been sent out by this honorable gentleman so many times that it has become automatic with him to do go. | I think !t is time that something sheuld be done In regard to the protection of American lives and

HUMOR.—The true world humor ists whom Prof. Thurston Peck ad- mits to his Pantheon are, one Greek, Aristophanes; two Romans, Plautus and Horace; among Englishmen, Ad- dison, Steele, Lamb, Dickens, and, to a certain extent, Thackeray; among}. Americans, Irving, Lowell, Bret Harte, and, possibly, Josh Billings, now tem- porarily under eclipse. o show the teemed great in its day, he cites the works of Maj. Jaek Downing, Mr Partington, John Phoenix, Petroleu V. Nasby, “The Danbury News Man,” Artemus Ward, Robert J. Burdette, Bill Nye, Orpheus CG Kerr, Hans reitmann, Ik. Marvel, Max Adeler, ohn Hay, Mr. Alden, and even Mr. Dooley. And now, as for Mark Twain, how many of his works are largely of that pure gold which time cannot corrode? Prof. Peck answers: “Going over the entire lst of the many vol- umes to which this author set his name, there are only four or five at the most that are likely to last for a great length of time. I am certain that not more than three of them will be read a century from now. I should say that the first two books—‘The Jumping Frog’ (1867) and “The Inno- cents Abroad’ (1868$)—-are never likely to go out of print or out of favor, ‘Roughing It’ (1872) will be valued} both for its humor and its history} throughout many years. ‘The Ad- ventures of Tom Sawyer’ (1876) and ‘Huckleberry Finn’ (1885) will remain for perhaps two decades. Ail the rest of Mr. emens’ books may perhaps be solq by subscription agents among his ‘complete works’ for a certain time, but they will not be read.”’ HEALTH HINTS, MISS L.

The fifth night out they were some- where in the latitude of the Bahamas. That. night the aridly recondite discus- sion was especially engrossing. Long after midni ° a in the deserted saloon the man of learning was discoursing upon the Silurian Age, and the absent- eyed Arment was pretending to listen when the shock came—the crashing, rip- ping shock, followed by a reeling shiver from stem to stern of the big steamer. On deck they found the vessel en- ieee in a dense, white fog like a ing sheet. For an instant a huge, dark hull appeared beside the Havana, then was swallowed in the fog, while a wail of awful despair floated back. Arment realized that there jad been a cqllision and that two vessels were likely to go to the bottom before day- break. There was none of the eonfusion, the shrieks, and shouts, and ravings we read of in descriptions of ships sinking in mid-ocean. There was the sharp, uick command, “Clear the lifeboats,” the creaking of rope, the shuffling of men’s feet; but with the stopping of the machinery a sinister silence seemed to hang over the doomed steamer. The yana listed helplessly to star- board and settled rapidly. In the spec- tral; gray light the dazed and terror- stricken passengers huddled in speech- groups about the casfpanionways.

4 ete Siar pig ng fae” by little the birds build their nests, Little by little the sun sinks to rest; Little by little the waves in their glee Smooth the rough rocks by the shore of the sea.” Most mammas know this little song, and most of ’em sing it to the little kiddies before bedtime. Bessie’s mamma did, .I know. Bessie has a little: brother, Bobbie, who used to be very, very saucy to her sometimes. used to make Bessie very angry, and she would answer him saucily, too, sometimes. This never did any good, and now she has a better way. It was the Sand Man who taught her this wey. ‘ _ Bobbie had said something very mean to Bessie, and Bessie felt so badly that she cried herself to sleep. In Slumberland she met the Sand Man, and he took her to the beach, where there were many rough rocks and where the happy, singing waves caressed them, Bessie thought of the song her This Here on the beach Bessie met her brother Bobbie, who was picking shells. Immediately he saw her he cried: “All the sea sheils are mine! You can’t have any!” The Sand Man held up a warning finger to Bessie, and told her to an- swer Bobbie kindly and hawe as much patience with nm as the waves had Z 4. o> co

“All right, Bobbie dear,” answered Bessie, “I will take off my shoes and stockings and wade in the water.” Bobbie was surprised at this answer. But he screamed: No, no, you shan't! The ocean is mine,A00!” Again the Sand Man’s finger warned, and Bessie said: “Then, my dear brother, I shall make a sand fort.” “You shan’t do that, either,” said selfish Bobbie, more angry than ever. “I am going to go home, then, and perhaps mamma will read a story to me.” Bessie’s sweet answers made Bobbie ashamed of himself. He did not answer her; he only sulked; and in a little while, when he saw her walk- ing away from him; he called after her: | “Bessie, I don’t mind if you pick shells or wade in the water or build a fort.” “Oh,” cried Bessie, “let's both do it. We'll have packs of fun!” This was only a dream, but Bessie tried it the next day and it worked finely. And now there are two more lines added to the little bedtime song, which go something like this: “Little by little sweet words of caress Cooled Bobbie’s bad temper and Bessie’s distress.” ELEANOR SCHORER.

G RIFFITH says the Browns beat his club out of a pennant chance. More of the poor loser talk. Of course it was Griff’s in- ability to hold the pace that told. The Browns simply happened to be improving as the Senators were slipping. ‘ It does appear, at times. as though weak clubs get the Indian sign on stronger ones and hold them helpless.

O. when came the “good year’’—they are so few we date every happening from it now—the Browns thought to fall upon the hoodoo and crush him. Instead the Boston club won the series, 17 games to 22.

COBB GETS ONLY SCORE Celebrating Eighth Birthday asa Tiger, Tyrus Tallies After Pass and an Error. A Special Correspondent of the Post- Dispatch... DETROIT, Mich., Aug: 31.—The Tigers are wondering today how~EKarl Hamilton managed to trample on them on his way to the No-hit Hall of Fame yesterday. They did everything they could to pre- vent it. The Tiger hitters slammed the ball hard at times, but they failed to obey that famous injunction to “‘hit ’em where they aint.” Jean Dubuc, too, even went so far as to biff Earl on his arm, but that did not deter the intrepid hurler. All sus- picion that the Tigers “laid down’’ to- wards the latter part of the game to let | Earl get the credit for a hitless game were laid away properly embalmed by the Tigers after the show. -~ It was suggested that Cobb did not try when he hit the ball straight to Ham- ilton the last time up. At that Jones, | Moriarty and a few others waxed indig- nant. “Never,” they averred. “Cobb would have given a good,.deal to have got the only hit off Hamjiton. Every- body wanted to get to him. We could hit him, but we could not get them safe.”’ Couldn’t Get 'Em Safe. Jones biffed one to short in the sixth that nearly knocked Smoyer off his feet, but he clung to it. Bush had the same man fielding so deep for his grounder in the fourth that it was only on a doubtful decision that he was out. Cobb lined a stiff one to Compton in the first. Crawford hit hard twice to no avail. And so it went. Hit as they might they could not get one into uncovered terri- tory. Hamilton was nearly forced to quit when Dubuc stung him, but after delaying the con- test awhile he gamely stuck to it. His great- est anxiety was very apparently over Cobb, yet he did not falter when the Georgian faced him. It was Cobb’s eighth birthday as a Tiger and he wanted to do things by way of cele- bration. But Hamilton was cautious and gave him nothing that he could land on after the first inning. He was forced to walk him twice, trying to deceive him. But he pitched to him all the time. There was none of this walking him purposely. Cobb did blot Harl’s record as much as he could after he was walked in the fourth, the first Tiger to reach first. When Pratt let Craw- ford’s grounder get through him Ty went to third and then slid home while they were trying to get Sam going to second. The Browns and Tigers meet again today. It is probable that Manager Stovall will pick Mack Allison or George Baumgardner to do the hurling. Edgar Willett will likely hur! ’em for the Tigers. wr Four Bouts to Be Decided at Drivers’ Club Brooklyn Tommy Sullivan An- nounces Card for Club’s First ‘‘Smoker.”’ Brooklyn Tommy Sullivan, matchmak- er for the Auto Drivers’ Club, whose headquarters are at King’s highway and Delmar avenue, announced Satur- day the complete card for the club’s first boxing show, set for September 6. The feature event will be an eight- round contest between Lew Ryall of Philadelphia and Paddy Carroll, form- erly of the Irish-American Athletiz Club. The preliminaries are as follows: Charley Cain vs. Jim Griffin, rounds at 122 pounds. Jack Mannion vs. Young Curley, four rounds at 110 pounds. Eddie Micrs vs. Robby Burns, four rounds at 110 pounds. six A match between prominent heavyweights which Billy Gibson of New York will make a strenuous effort to clinch will be that between Al Paizer, the local white hope, and Jess Willard, the cowpuncher from the West. who recently made a great impression on the fight fans of Gotham by the good battle he put up against Luther McCarthy in a 10-round bout at Madison Square Garden. Eddie McMahon, the New York fight pro- moter, has practically clinched a match be- tween Matty Baldwin of Boston and Leach Cross, to take place in two weeks. Baldwin has already accepted the terms offered him. and Sam Wallach, manager of Cross. says that he is perfectly willing to let Leach meet Baldwin. A letter which has just reached this office. from Joe Woodman, who ts in Australia with Sam Langford, says that there is no truth in the stories sent from that country to the ef- fect that he and Langford have parted. Joe further states that they are the best of friends. Leach Cross, who has made many thou- sands of dollars so far this year out of the bouts he has fought, will receive $1000 or more for his end when he meets Teddy Ma- loney, the Philadelphia lightweight, in a six- round bout at the Olympia A.

Motor Cyclists Expect to See Records Fall on New | | Oval Which Opens Tonight ' : Nine Events Are on the Program of Inaugural Meet on Bowl-Shaped Course, Said to Be Best in This Cc untry. A Promptly at 8:30. This game is practically new, but has already taken hold in San Francisco, New York, Chicago and Cleveland, where tracks are maintained. In those cities it is a great success, enormous crowds paying coin of the realm to see the speed demons flirt with death on the bowl tracks. However, the pulse of the local speed demoniacs, has not been felt and whether they will give the sport as elaborate support as it receives in other towns is a question time must settle. There’s no gainsaying the fact that the motor cyclist races are the most daring feats now being perpetrated in the world of “‘speed.’’ These riders have attained 90 miles an hour on tracks pitched at an angle of 60 degrees, and the element of danger, the always-pres- ent horror of a fatality is such as to keep the spectators at high tension and incidentally coax large flocks of iron men in the box office. It’s Thrilling Sport. The whirr and sputtering of the ma- chines as they swing around the big bowl at almost incredible speed is cal- culated to thrill. It is far more spec- tacular than the automobile and ever sO much more interesting than the aviator’s game. It’s the acme of daring for the man who has the speed mania. The local track is said to be one of the best in: the world. It has the dis- tinction of being the steepest in the universe, being pitched at an angle of 62% degrees. This is a departure from the original plans laid down for the motor cycling tracks. When the game first was introduced the track was an oval, banked at the turn—a saucer ef- fect. However, the promoters discov- ered that the riders could get greater results on a bowl track, and the local motordrome is the acme of perfection in the building of new tracks. There is a flat space about eight feet in width at the bottom of the track. Then it curves and raises almost at right angle By W. J. O’CONNOR. NEW sport #ill be introduced to St. Louisans Saturday evening when the Motordrame presents its first program of races at the new track in Priester’s Park, Grand avenue and Meramec street. The inaugural race will begin with the starting board. About three feet from the base of the bowl there is a big black line, which circles the track. This is called the ‘“‘pole.”” and in competition no rider is allowed to pass another below the pole. If he attempts it,-he is disqualified on a foul. Quarter Mile in 11 Seconds. In a trial spin Friday, Fin Huttinger, one of the professional riders, clipped off a quar- ter-mile in 11 seconds. He was clocked by three reliable timers. Huttinger was not ex- cited over his performance, as he made it on a stock machine, and he expects to better this mark on a racing cycle. Huttinger is 4 great booster for the local track and says world’s records surely will be hung up. To- night’s program: Event No. 1—Three-mile amateur for stock machines: No. 12, John M. Lorenz; No. 14, Wm. F. Winter; No. 15, John Van Stras Jr.; No. 16, Cleve Oliver.

He was the only pitcher in the National League who struck out more men than were able to hit him safely. The Giant lefthander took part in 45 games last year, but completed only 23: chat is, there were only 23 games which he started and finished. Most of the others that went to make up the 45 were games that he finished for some other pitcher. In his 45 games he struck out 287 bat- ters, while only 221 hits were made off him. He pitched 278 innings, or almost exactly 31 games of regulation length. So that he averaged practically eight strike- outs to the full game, bu tallowed only a little over seven hits.

' SCHALK MAKES A HIT WITH NEW YORK FANS NEW YORK, Aug. 31.—Ray Schalk, the young catcher recentiy purchased from the Milwaukee club by President Charles Co- miskey of the White Sox. made a great im- pression on the Hilltop fans during the re- cent series between the Highlanders and the sox. Schalk is only 20 years of age He is the youngest catoher in the American League. He cost Comiskey $15,000 in cash and play- ers, the record price for a catcher. Schalk’s rise has been nothing short of phenomenal. One year ago he was catching in the obscure Illinols-Missouri League, being a member of the Taylorville club. He was discovered there by Oy Ferry. who was scouting for the Detroit Tigers. Detroit se- cured an option on the youngster for $750, but failed to exercise it, and the Milwaukee club bought him for the same améunt. It was at first intended to make an out- fielder out of Schalk on account of his hit- ting, but after seeing him work Manager Jimmy Barrett decided to keep him ag ¢ catcher. Manager Hugh Daffy used Schaix regularly this season and his improvement was remarkable. #0 much so that halg » dozen big league clubs were dickering for his services. _——-@o——_ Whether you maintain the: your favorite or prefer the a) Post. from that will interest you, — wants give a list to saect| CAR PLUNGES OFF TRACK AT EIGIW: TWO ARE INJURED George Clark of Dallas, Tex., and Mechanician Are in Criti- cal Condition.

Clark was attempt- ing to drive the turn at high speed when he ran through a bunker of baled hay, into the fence. Clark and Malone, both said to be seriously injured, were taken to a hospital. After Clark had been taken from the course to a hospital it was reported that a surgical examination showed both to be seriously injured. Clark suffered a possible fracture of the skull and sur- geons were uncertain regarding Malone’s condition, although they said the mech- anician had possibly been injured inter- nally. Bergdoll Leads at 150 Miles, E. Bergdoll, the young Philadelphia millionaire driver, racing a %-horse- power Benz car, led at the end of the first 150 miles of the 305-mile free-for- all event this afternoon. Ralph’ De Palma, driving a Mercedes, was Jess than five minutes behind Bergdoll. Bergdoll drove his Benz the first 1 miles at an average speed of better than 7i miles an hour. At the end of 100 there was less than seven minutes difference in the time be- tween the leader and the last contests in the field of nine cars remaining. Despite the great heat there was little trouble in the first part of the race. At the end of 200 miles the two races apparently had been resolved in a three- cornered fight between Edwin Berg- doll, Benz; Ralph De Palma, Mercédées, and Ralph Mulford, Knox “6.” Berg- doll, who led, had driven the distance at ri average speed of 70 6-10 miles. per our.

One cannot but be surprised that the high-minded lawyer friend and his ex- traordinarily complacent wife, who have been the moth’s mentors, lend themselves to the furtherance of the predivorce romance of the moth ana the captain. Despite the unconventionality which is so largely the book’s theme, none of the sitwations into which the daring of the moth leads her are permitted to transgr@ss good taste. The book is strong from cover to cover, and the artistry and certainty of the autho- make every page delightful, even if one does think that the moth could have been saved in a better way without vio- lence to probability and without impair- ment of interest. “The Moth,” by William Dana Or- cutt. (Harpers.) ae eee as “THE MAINSPRING.” INCE no mention is made of any S previous work by the same au- thor, Chari€s Agnew Maclean, ,this story may be accepted as a first venture in that field. While it cannot be com- pared with such a success as ‘“‘Queed,”’ it is a bright, interesting story, with plenty of movement and incident and with good delineations of character.’ By some subtle intuition, a New York editor scents an important news item in the home of the greatest railway mag- nate in the country, who was then in the thick of a great struggle with fierce and unscrupulous enemies. A*young at- tache of the journal is sent on a tour of discovery in that direction and by good fortune becomes possessed of all the essential facts of a most sensational story, whose publication would act on Wall street like the explosion of a charge of dynamite. A fact carefully concealed and unsuspected save by the editor re- ferred to above, was that the great rail- way magnate was at the point of death. His death would administer a fatal blow to the vast interests identified with his name, putting his deadly enemy, an un- principled wrecker, in control of the world of finance and of the railway over which the battle was waged, which Craven had been building up with long, continued and assiduous care. Follow- ing Craven's death would come a tre- mendous crash, ruining many wealthy families and throwing thousands of la- borers out of work. Ashmore had little difficulty in getting the news he went for, but found him- self a prisoner in the house. There was a way of communicating with his paper, but he chose not to avail himself of it, for a reason he would hardly have liked to confess. That he bore considerable resemblance to Craven's only child, a son who had been called home from Paris and due when Ashmore went on his adventure, was made the occasion of a bold proposal, to which, after due reflection, he acceded. The son was ill- fitted to manage the vast interests which his father must soon.resign; besides, it was correctly thought that he had fallen into the hands of the opposing party. was to personate that son, a step which involved him in considerable peril, but wae carried out in a master- and with entire success.

sive, it is not entirely lacking. The con- clusion of the story suggests that the vein here opened may be worked further (Little, Brown & Co.). * “HER WORD OF HONOR.” YOUNG French girl, very Dlue- blooded and allied with English relatives in high favor with roy- alty, becomes by her father’s death de- pendent on these relatives in @ way quite humiliating to one of her high and sensitive spirit. As there are in that family six marriageable daughters, whose prospects their ambitious mamma would hardly wish to sacrifice for her niece’s sake, it is purposed to banish the latter into innocuous desuetude. To escape that fate, Mademoiselle Vau- quieres de Clugny forms and executes the Quixotic resolve to come to Ameri- ca in search of an old sweetheart of her father’s whom he never ceased to hold in tenderest memory. On her voyage Mlle. Vauquieres is discovered and pounced upon by an enormously wealthy widow, with an only son. This woman’s consuming am- bition was to insinuate herself by any possible means into the select circle of society in New York and elsewhere. Seeing in the French girl an excellent instrument for attaining this end, she contrives to betroth her, “sight, un- seen,” to her son. The former sweet- heart not being found, Mrs. Cobb’s plans proceed swimmingly. She makes lavish provision for the wedding, New York’s ‘elite and the English relatives sanctioning and promising thelr pres- ence. The son proves to be as good as might be expected, and the destined victim is held from open revolt by an ancestral spirit of loyalty expressed in the legend, ‘“‘Vauquieres tient parole,’ to which her forebears had been loyal, even to death. Meanwhile a fortunate blunder has re- vealed the old sweetheart, and brought to the girl a lover really worthy. How | the tangle is straight@ned out, even the managing mamma is satisfied when her chief ambition has been realized, while poetic justice is done to various inter- ested parties, is entertainingly narrated in the fascinating story with the above title, by Miss Edith Macvane, who has also written “‘Tarantella,’”’ “‘The Black Flier’ and other stories. (Little, Browa & Co.). SMASHING A PROCRUSTEAN BED. XTENSION of popular rule, in the F line now &dvocated, of permit- ting the people to determine for themselves what they want In the way of industrial legislation, is the theme of “Majority Rule.and the Judiciary,” by William L. Ransom of the New York bar. The book has an introduction by Theodore Roosevelt, which is said to be the most comprehensive and sustained statement of his views on the subject of “judiciary reform’? which has any- where been published. Chapter headings indicate scope as follows: ‘“‘When the People Discuss Their Courts;”’ “The Present Issue as to the Judiciary;’’ “The Police Power as Con- strued by State and Federal Courts;” “The Ultimate Supremacy of a De- cisive Popular Majority under the Con- stitution;’” ‘The Recall of Judges” (which the writer condemns); ‘“‘The Pow- er to Hold Legislation Unconstitutional’ (which the writer does not think nec- essary at present); “Direct Popular Re- definition vs. General Constitutional Amendment;” “Mr. Roosevelt’s Proposal! Defined and Illustrated,”’ and chapters discussing that proposal, pro and con. The object of the book that, as Chief Justice Winslow of Wis- consin said, an eighteenth-century con- stitution, construed in this twentieth century by an eighteenth-century mind ditions and ideals, forms a veritable Bed of Procrustes for the people, which it is their duty to smash, and that this can be done by adopting the proposal to empower the people to pdss upon laws involving public welfare and the exer- cise of the police power, which laws are almost entirely concerned with mod- ern conditions, unknown and undreamed of by the men who wrote the Consti- tution. (Scribner’s.) “THE COURT OF ST. SIMON.” APID-FIRE wooing and winning of R a lady of high station by one who has been an associate of the people of the Paris underworld so long that there seems no chance of his get- ting away from them, marks the chief interest point in “The Court of St. Simon” by Anthony Partridge. Falling desperately in love with a face one sees in a lightning’s flash, and to whom he proclaims love and avows marriage be- fore the storm clears is a far-fetched stretch of imagination, even for a story of the type of this Partridge romance. If the reader can accept the love episode of the thunderstorm and the strange meeting in the rose garden, he may en- joy a series of thrilling chapters that follow, and probably be convinced that the love is pure and -wholesome. Paris and London's underworld are painted in lurid colors in the rapidly changing scenes that follow the esca- pades of M. Simon and the blood-seek- ing craving for excitement of the young M. Eugene d’Arnuinac. One looks upon crime and associates with crimina}s without partaking in crime, but the other having once been initiated into the criminal lure. The love story of the romance is closely woven in this scene of crime, with the sister of one becom- ing the wife of the other. In the story’s telling there are Ynany adventures, plenty of mystery, and oa very natural ending to a very unnat-, ural story. (Little-Brown.) _ SWIMMING SCIENTIFICALLY TAUGHT. “ROF.

Favorable weather France and expectations of large world’s shipments this week were bearish fac- tors. Toward the close there was some covering and part of the decline was re- covered on oae up over the Ameri- can holiday. Advices from Russia are of delayed harvest and movement and the weather in the United Kingdom is still unsattled. At the close the market was dull and %d to 14d lower than yes- terday. Liverpool corn opened %4 lower on the quiter dsmand for cargoes, and later the distant months further declined %d on the éasinese of spot and larger arrivals. Minneapolis wired: “Fair cash de- mand, with premiums on blue stem easier, 3@4c over September. Velvet chaff ‘steady, 1@i%c over September. Flour sales fairly good. Over 176 cars of wheat were unsold.” Duluth wheat cars were 174, last week 30, last year 246. Winnipeg 57, last weeke57, last year 74, Minneap- olis wheat stocks decreased 16,000 bu for 1 day, against over 200,000 bu one year ago. Total clearances: Wheat 263,000 bu, flour 15,000- bu, corn 1000 bu, oats 4000 bu. Wheat and flour, 331, 000 bu. Broomhall cables: “In France ar- rivals from country are light, with the weather mostly favorable for the movement; stocks are smal] and farmers are less anxious to sell, Heavy liquidation in the near month at the close, wheat declining 6c per bu and flour 37c per bbl. There were free deliveries, with new wheat of- fered freely in country. The weather is now favorable. Weather ig unset- tled in part of United Kingdom, but the forecast is for fine an warmer weather.” } Agricultural Commissioner of the Rock Island lines, in a report to Vice- President John Sebastian, says: “Iowa will have the largest corn crop in years. If dry, most of crop will ma- ture; if wet, there will be enormous crop of soft corn. Over 10,000 siloes built this year, against 4000 last. Oats heavy crop, considerably damaged by rains. Increase in acreage in winter wheat to be sown account high yield, some fields giving 50 to 60 bu per acre,” *Le Count wired from Crookston, Minn.: “Heavy rain last night from here tc Winnipeg: harvest about finished here, some thrashing done, wheat yields as high as 33 bu; good quality. Weather clear and favorab e today.” John Inglis wired from Norton, K@n.: “Through the northern counties, Bepub- lic, Jewel, Smith and Norton, corn is heavy crop. Well-cared, condition r- fect. color good; shows no ill effect from heat yet; has been more favored with rains than some sections. Still clear and hot.” Kansas City wheat stocks overnight decreased 29,000 bu; this makes the net increase for week only 46,000 bu. Winnipeg wired: “The Canadian Ele- vator Co. sends following to W. H. Mc- Williams, Portage Plains: ‘Will aver- age 22 bu wheat; cutting 60 per cent done; Austin and Sidney bu, half cut; Sidney to Griswold, 2 bu, 90 per cent cut; Griswold to Virden gh poor crops, and very green, will uire 10 St. Louls au Chicago 854% @

AN EXPERT. Neexpert is supposed to know more about -‘the kind of work he is engaged in than anybody ela Now, the only way to convince people that you are the best man in your par- \Qeular Mne is to charge more for your services - }than anybody else. Suppose, for example, that you want to be Netty ‘@ legal expert. All you have to do is to make * your fees twice as high as those charged by » ‘the common everyday lawyer across the hall. By so doing you will get all his clients away from him and the lawyer himself wi'l have to tako a job in your office at a small salary. If “Ne happens te be an abler lawycr than you ere, which ig not at all unlikely, why, so much the better for your clients. A PIANIST. BGIN at the age of four to take music lessons.

Remember that.” Having an appetite for worms, the young bird resolved to profit by the ve ? suggestion contammed in the proverb quoted by the elder fowl, and thereby accumulate a worm. The next moro- ing that young bird was out looking

Whenever you see a building over three stories high bend ‘backward, open your mouth, stare up at the cornice and say: “Gosh all hemlock!” Buy all the green goods and gold bricks that are offered to you, and do not hesitate to intrust your watch and your money to a perfect stranger, . When you have mastered all these accom- plishments yOu will be a perfect farmer. Now, just one Word of advice before we part: Don’t go oD a farm.

He had been out all night and was carrying a load home when gobbled by the bird.
