GARFIELD-PINCHOT ? We have been putting it the other way until now. that is to say, PinchotGarfleld.

Is not Garfield, after all, the principal, the more important figure?

THE DEPOT LOAFERS. I The railway station In our town seedy, commonplace and plain; yet scores of people rustle down and gather there to meet each train. The
waiting room Is bleak and bare, a place of never-ending din; yet fifty loafers gather there each day to see the train come in.' The station agent's life is sad; the loafers made it grim and gray; they drive the poor man nearly mad, for they are always In the way. The passengers can enly sob at they their townward way begin, for they must struggle through the mob that's there to see the train come In. The men who have their work to do are hindered
In a hundred ways; in vain they weep and cry out "Shoo!" they can't disperse
the loafing Jays. These loafers always are the same; they toil not, neither
do they spin; they have no other end or aim, than just to see the train come In. I've travelled east, I've travelled west, and every station in the land appears to have its loaf erf est, Its lazy, idle, useless band; I know the station loafer well; he has red stubble on hie chin; he has an ancient, ftsh-Uke smell; he lives to see the train come In. Oh, Osier, get your chloroform, and fill your glass syringe again, and come and try to make things warm for those who bother busy men! For loafers, standing In the way, when standing Is a yellow sin! For those who gather, day by day, to see a one-horse train come In! WALT MASON. Copyright, 1910, by George Matthew Adams.

BE CARfL. GULLS. One of the most significant stories from real life I have heard in a long time is the following, got from an old reporter: It is about Mr. Justice White of the supreme court of the United States. Years ago, when Mr. White was a young law student in Louisville, he did not look to be the man he now Is. He was verdant and awkward, but there was something about him that bespoke a strong character. He fell in love with one of the beauties of the city. The coupie were engaged. White told his sweetheart they must wait until he got a foothold in life. Enter another suitor. This young man was rich and of an aristocratic family.- The girl threw White over and married the wealthy young man. Which nearly broke White's heart, though in the end it made a big man of him. White went to the senate from Louisiana. He became a great lawyer. President Cleveland made him an associate justice of the supreme court. Again the whirligig of time brought White and the proud Blue Grass belle together. On the day when Justice White was sworn in a pale woman sat In the supreme court chambers. Her face was seamed with many cares. She wore widow's weeds. She had known much suffering. And as she sat, a suitor of the bar of the august tribunal, bitter tears of regret fell from her eyes. She knew the new Judge, but he did not observe her. The woman, at last reports, was still in Washington, though Mr. Justice White knows nothing of her. She does not attend social functions. Girls-
Be careful how you discard that energetic, honest young fellow who
comes courting you, asking you to
wait until he can make a home for
you.

Five members of Gamma Phi Beta sorority at Northwestern university were suspended formally for the rest of the college year by order of the faculty yesterday. They had entertained Mrs. "Brownie" Shepherd, a former sorority member, at Willard hall last Saturday. Mrs. Shepherd, a former student, ,was suspended from college shortly before her marriage, April 25, for having violated the faculty rules about living in a house not under university supervision, and was the guest of the five students at Willard hall at luncheon last Saturday, contrary to faculty rules. The decision of the faculty was given after a four hours' session yesterday, at which the protests of the other students of the sorority against any drastic action being taken were made known to the faculty. None of the students under suspension will be permitted to takepart In any 'of the classes or other university work until next September.
Hints to Motorists
If a. fan belt Is constantly failing, either from the belt flying oft or breaking suspect the alignment of the pulleys. It Is important to see that all the movable Joints In a brake are really working and not rusted fast; this la often the cause of an inefficient brake. If available, pure rain water ia the best that can be used in the cooling system, as it is free from the mineral substances which are deposited in the radiator, piping and jackets by hard water. When misfiring occurs, do not take it for granted that the battery voltage is low and connect up another In series, for the trouble may be from quite another cauoe and one la only risking damaging the coll. In the case of a nail puncture In a tire shoe the hode made should be covered by sticking a bit of prepared canvas to the inside of the casing to prevent grit and water from working in between the inner tube and the
cover. , When leaving the car at night or for any length of time make it a practice to shut off the gasoline supply. If this la not done and if there is a leak or a flooded carburetter a fire may be caused by someone carelessly tossing a burning match under the car. In adjusting the steering gear for lost motion care should be observed lest the parts be set so close as to bind After completing adjustment the gear should be tried through its entire "lock" to make sure that the alignment is perfect. If not binding will occur. Tire life Is muc hshortened if the tire on one side is inflated differently from that of the other. The wheels will not then cover the same distance over the ground per revolution and as a result they tend to roll around in a circle, but since they are restrained from doing so they drag. It is this continued and useless effort which Is expended at the point of contact of the treads of tires with the roadster.
