Many are remnant pieces but sufficient for a good sized kitchen. "Smith's" ml By GILBERT SWAN NEW YORK, May 21. Many a fantastic job is created In 3Ianhattan due to the various extravagances of the Park avenue, Fifth avenue and even the Riverside drive crew of careless spenders. One of the new and swanky Park-avenue preserves maintains a "master of bath salts." The fellow, an ex-employe of a ritzy perfume- establishment, selects the various toilet articles for the frilly most of who were brought up on five- cent laundry soap, but who now- must baw. their bata salts chosen by "an artiste." Ray Bell, the ex-cowboy df rodeo show fame, picks polo ponies for the rich Long Island "polo set." He mais-tains connections, with an Argentine stock farm where ponies are raised for polo purposes.

Bell is, in some measure, in the class of the heroes of the cowboy tales. Meeting a beautiful eastern gin, lie married but this time, bride admitted that she preferred life, io the great open And so he turned his knowledge of "boss flesh" to good account. And speaking of things western a few days ago an ex-cowboy was commissioned to at one of the swanky brownstones off Fifth avenue. It appeared that two young sons had been sent off to a school in Arizona and, coming in contact with the "wild west" life whatever that is for the first time, had decided to bring a small rodeo home with them. So, wich 15 young companions and 20 ponies, they were coming in a private train to i4rK.

The naff led paren's wanted a westerner to keep them rounded up. Key, and door knob designers for costly apartment suites make a neat living. There are dozens of places where residents insist on having their dojr knobs absolutely original, throwing mild hysterics if there is a similar door knob on a neighbor's house. Keys are mcKeo out witn jeweled settings and monograms. One of the new Fifrli avenue places advertised kevs of pure gold.

The job of "dog walker" is one to be found in few places outside of Xew York. Since most of the rich folks have at least one high-priced purp. they have to have someone to take it for a walk. 31any of the "dog walkers" work iu connection with pet shops. They not only take Fido out for a stroll at so much per hour they also bathe him and keep his hair trimmeJ, look after his dog biscuits, and act as valets in general.

A young woman qf my acquaintance, who had been doiti secretarial work, finds herself at the moment in the happy job of perpetual chaperone to a weaitliy youngster of 13. To dare the job has consisted largely of showing up for tea at fashionable hotels and going abont to expensive shops seeing that the child doesn't run no the charge account too high. The mother of the child whispered that she didn't mind a reasouabl; amount of charged goods, but that the girl's bill had been mounting into the hundreds of late. On one shopping trip, so my friend reported, this precious 13-year-old laid in seven pairs of costly shoes and 25 pairs of silk stockings although her wardrobe was already overstocked. May 21, 1907.

I agree with you in regard to the lack of "kick" in it. Last year's session gave me much more of a thrill. But the old boys are dropping off fast and that accounts for it. have enjoyed reading the editorial and other columns of your paper. We fellows here in Xew York, so occupied by the very intenslveness with which we perform the most trivial acts, are like kittens chasing their tails.

Your paper is as refreshing as a long draught of cool spring water to a parcn-ed throat. Thank God for the calm deliberation" of the away-from-Xew York editors! The press of America that is still independent is the backbone of the people You will not, I hope, feel that I am presumptuous in sending you copy of a little commentary-1 wrote several years ago on the Constitution. It circulated to the extent of 140,000 copies, but I guess the younger generation don't want any more of It, so I am giving it away now. You may have several of them if you ever want them Sincerely, ALVIN M. HIGGIXS.

Xew York City. 5. HIGGIN'S is one of the best- known lawyers in the big city, but, if he had his "ruthers, he'd be following a literary career. His wife wants him to give up the law and enter the writing game, anyway, and what the women want they generally get, you know. In addition to the commentary on the Constitution, "We, the People," he is the author "The Subway Guard Watch Your vStep," "Everything Lost But the Chains," and is a contributor to magazines.

He published his little paper, the Bowling Green Xews, in 18S3, when his father was a Presbyterian minister in Duluth, and is one of the recent additions to the ranks of The Fossils. The Poetry of Names. New York Herald-Tribune. THERE is poetry in names, and for most of us the poetry of a bird or a flower is more important than the science which they who would force our outdoor vocabularies into accurate channels forget. The country names are always richer than the book names.

Because the yellow "cowslips" that fire our April swamps are not. botanically, cowslips, some would have us call them "marsh mangold a name which would be good enough did not the other have the gold of English poetry behind it. "Wild carrot" is accurate enough; but who would not prefer ''Queen- And "wild lily-of-the-valley" comes out of the heart, while "Canada mayflower" reeks of the books A tern, of course, is not a swallow, but the inaccurate "sea swallow" carries with it the smell of salt spray as "common tern." can never 'do; and the pileaied woodpecker, big as a ifcrow, is surely happier when he is called, as woodsmen call him, "Hell-diver" has a meaning which "pied- billed grebe" can never carry; and who would not prefer "stakednver or "dunkadoo" as a name for the booming bittern? "Canada jay" is descriptive 1 enough in its way, but the words do not suggest the bird as "whiskyjack" and "camp robber do; "3Iother Carey chickens," though longer, belongs to the sea-skimming birds as the alien words, "Wilson's petrel," do not Scientists may tell us that pur robin bears no generic relation to the redbreast of English tradition, but it had the same meaning in the hearts of the first settlers and it has in ours. Love-in-a-mist, morning-glory, Dutchmen's-breeclies the hearts of generations are in the old, familiar, ignorant names. The Friendships of the Great Out-of-Doors IT is my from Virginia, Joe Jones, who is majoring in journalism at the University of North Carolina, who wrote this: "It is fortunate that ray room-mate is a Nature-lover, too.

One afternoon last week we took a fine hike far out a country road. We noticed a few-Bluebirds nesting in mail boxes, and saw a colony of Martins nesting in gourds hung up by a farmer for them. We found a beautiful meadow pasture where we lay stretched out by the stream for an hour or so. It was a splendid afternoon; birds were about us; Red-winged Blackbirds, Swallows, Doves, a pair of Phoebes, and 3iartins. And the curious cows came up to snilf at us as we lay quiet and still.

Truly, friendships made-in the- out-of-doors ('up the creek') are the most dear and lasting." New Castle News: Another reason why grandpap was able to put a little away for his old age was because bobs and marcels were never part of his overhead. PunxRutawney Spirit: The shrewa man sees to it that his neighbor does not cheat him. The good man's concern Is that he does not cheat his neighbor.

But it happened in Xew York and Tennessee is entitled to wrap up all the jibes it got at the time of the Scopes trial and send them back in a neat package. Xew York has earned them. THE PROBLEM OF THE TARIFF Slaking a tariff law these days is a far more complicated and momentous business than it was a decade or so ago, before the overseas market loomed large in the eyes of American industrialists.

Frank II. Simonds, well-known expert on international affairs, points this out in an article in the current Beview of Reviews. Both Canada and South America, says Mr. Simonds, are planning ou reprisals jf American tariffs are measureably raised. Canada now buys from the United States nearly a billion dollars worth of goods; if the tariff on imports from Canada goes up, a great share of these goods will be bought from Britain.

The same is true in South America, where the United States' is just emerging into the first rank of exporters. England and Germany, 31r. Simonds warns, will jget back much of the business Uncle Sam took away from them if South American exports to this country are taxed. It's a knotty problem, this fixing of a tariff. There are so many factors involved which don't appear on the surface.

So there really is something you can 'be for in Philadelphia, and given a jail term in record time- A poet in Cleveland slings hash for a living.

The paper remarks 1 There are those who pralae news-I papers of other days and speak as if the race of editorial giants has I become extinct. There is no reason to concede anything of the sort. I Newspapers nowadays are better than they ever were before. Edi-f 1 torial opinion is more influential than ever when it is clearly thought out and lucidly expressed, i The way to destroy those things 3 would bo to subject newspapers to I bureaucratic regulation.

ernment departments. Not only would the freedom of the press be imperilled, but the freedom of the whole country would be in danger. The honest and conscientious edited newspaper is the public's best protection, and the libel laws protect the individual against abuse of its powers. This is right along the line of com- i ment made by a prominent Xew York man in a personal letter to the f. managing editor of The Xews-HeraM Ea few days ago.

He says it is a pleasure to read such a paper as 5 The News-Herald, with editorial and news columns refreshingly interest- ins. I A Franklin man who has just returned from Florida says: "there is "more world news in The Xews-Herald than any paper outside the Xew York Times." He conveyed the impression that nearby city papers played up their own local news to extent that the proper news bul-J ance was lost. After all, though the reader -doesn't give much thought to it perhaps, there are some mighty good newspapers, today, and great im- provenients shown by those in the i smaller cities. Telcphoto service, I high speed telegraphic printers and I modern newspaper photography have combined to make them more inter esting, more up-to-the-minute, more "newsy." J. 31.

TENNESSEE CAN" LAUGH The citizens of Tennessee, who had to stand for a good deal of high-toned criticism from sophisticated Xew Yorkers at the time of the famous Scopes triul, can turn around now aud hand the sneers right beck, with interest added. If Tennessee had its monkey law, Xew York has just eclipsed it with its conviction of Jlrs. 31ary Ware Dennett on a charge of sending obscene matter through the mails. Whatever may be said of the anti-evolution jaw, It at least represented an honest effort on the part of sincere, well-intentioned folk to preserve a faith that they felt was being undermined by forces which they did not quite comprehend. Their attitude, mistaken or otherwise, was at least quite understandable.

But the trial of Mrs. Dennett is another matter. It represents narrow-minded fanaticism at its worst. Xew York, which prides itself on its liberality and emancipation, has been guiity of one of the most amaz- ing bits of bigoted nonsense of recent years. Consider the facts in the case for minute.

Mrs. Dennett is a grandmother a woman of culture and standing. Some years ago, wishing to give her young sons plain information about i the facts of sex, she wrote a score or more paiies of exposition for them wrote it as carefully, intelligently and earnestly a any mother trying to give essential information to her (Sons coulci wish- The editor of a substantial medical I magazine saw what she had written and induced her to have it printed in iphamplet form.

The United States Health Service endorsed it, as did the Xew York State Health Department. 3Iore than 26,000 copies were distributed. Finally, however, some official or other saw the phamplet and was horrified. -Mrs. Dennett was indicted, brought to trial and convicted in ihort order.

The judge limited the trial solely to a reading of the pamphlet He did not allow 3Irs. Dennett to show how it had been endorsed and distributed by reputable social agencies; he simply left it to 12 representative New York citizens tj say whether it was obwene. Now 3frs.
