is a jade, iin unscrupulous flirt. When one feels one can giiisp and possess her by force, she definitely eludes one, but like other flirts if amnoached tentatively she may concede a trifle. If one would avoid absolute he irt- break, one must treasure these trifles, and atter a life time of devotion one muat be thankful if they are consid¬ erable in their total."
Many men live with or on the mem¬ ories of past triumphs and Joys, giv¬ ing but little consideration to the failures and sorrows they havo ex¬ perienced. Others live only in the present. The first kind cares nothing lor the future; the second, little for tomorrow until it becomes today. .In the past. Big liusiness from the days of the Caesars to the comparative recent had a slogan "caveat emptor" or "let the buyer beware." Last week nve spoke briefly of some of the uneth- 'Ical doings of horsemen of tlic lower type. Greed motivates such men fre- Viueritly to unethical practices, but they oon't hold a candle to tlie ways of a man with a maid when wooing that same. A young niiin wooing whom he would miike his mate, I am told, fre¬ quently tells her that there is nobody like  her in  the  world,  when a siatis-

"Who ia Nellie Bly?" This ia the big (luestion of the hour. As thi.s goes to press no (me liesides George Comp¬ ton haa been able to flnd out the ex- ,act identity of the notorious Nellie Bly!
The name of "Nellie Bly" brings many fond memories to our minds. For one thing there used to be a lot of horses   n.amed   "Nellie."
Anyway, it seems as thougli some¬ one ain't done right by our little "Nell," .and poor George is the victim. The best we can do is to wish him luck.
One thing is certain that next Thurs¬ day and Friday, May 24th and 2r)th, will be red letter days in George's life Attorneys ,l'"oulke and .Duffy .say tliey thing they can pull "Sandy" through. But Judge Urban says Justice must 1)0 done .and will be done in any court wliere he presides.
