Danger s Fascinstton.

The risk Involved In automobile racing Is one of the reasons for Its great popularity among venturesome men. Were there no danger to the occupants Of the cars, says the New York Sun. there woujd be little sport ’in the experience. Riding to bounds, steeplechasing, foot ball and many other outdoor sports cannot be pursued without danger. but this does not act- in any way as a deterrent to those Interested in them. Great as is the satisfaction felt by the wincing contestants over their success in the Held, the desire for preeminence Is no{ the only cause that leads men to engage in dangerous pastimes. The spirit of adventure, the lore of excitement for its own sake, the instinctive rebellion of many minds against the humdrum, commonplace existence of most of us moderns operate to make

danger and risk attractive.

NEW JERSEY LEGISLATURE

(CONTINUED FROM FIRST PAGE.)

franchise* granted by municipalitlM to twenty-five year* has been practically shelved this session by a committee substitute requiring the ap|>olutnieut of a commission of five membera.appo!nt ed by the governor to fully Investigate the matter and report to the next legislature. It is reiwrted that a light is to lie made on the adoption of the commit-ti-e substitute, and an effort will lie n: ide to have pasaed tbe original Colby (dll. with a probable clause lengthening the limit of franchises to fifty Instead of twenty-five years.

"There was a letter carrier out in Omaha." said Representative Hitchcock. "who had not taken a vacation for 25 years. He worked every day. One afternoon he created great consternation in the post office by applying for two days' leave. He went away for two days Then he came back and went to work again. Everybody was curious to know where he had been, and finally one of the clerks asked him if he had had a gocgl time. 'Fine.' said the carrier. 'What did you do?' persisted the clerk. ‘Oh,’ said the carfrter. ‘I spent my time walking around

Simple Life Expensive. The simple life is frightfully expensive. At a recent entertainment In the city a great luxury In the serving of the second supper was the introduction of country sausage and buckwheat cakes with maple sirup, relates Town and Country. But tbe sausage came from the farm of the host and represented a small fortune, as the pigs from which the piece de resistance was made were blooded animals with pedigrees. The buckwheat was grown in special fields which cost ever so much a foot, and the maple sirup was taken from trees In the most expensive Adirondack preserve. And thus can thousands of dollars be spent on the simple life, while truffles, pate.. terrapin and such other rarebits of a former generation are left for the tables of the middle classes with moderate means.
