Even the Jewish Home for the Friendless, East Fifty-third and Ellie avenue, went back on him the other day. The superintendent says Roy is in corrigible. Roy got to thinking over his past deeds and decided to reform. There was no use running away be rause everyone knew "that Roy Wise baum." " "Gee, I wish I was a girl," he told one of his playmates. "Maybe I wouldn't be so bad. and maybe some body would like me." An hour later Roy was missing from the home.

"Say-When John," Nelse Peterson's trusty lieutenant on the Cleveland Yacht club's island at the mouth of the river, is asking that question of everybody he meets on Billy White's corner. "up the hill." John didn't feel strong enough to work the other day, so he dug over an acre or two of ground for half a pint of worms and went fishing. It was an important expedition because he was to try out officially a fishhook which his brother had sent him from i Norway. John dropped his hook in the cur rent of Rocky river. Immediately something grabbed it and started up stream wi~h it. John jumped into the water and after herculean efforts snaked a thirty-pound (inspected scales) carp ashore. The catch was too heavy to carry homr intact, so John drew his knife and opened the fish's vest. Inside Too Trying. "Th.n i,, don't like these after Hoot. wtas' T'ioo rough on the nerves.

New York.-Roaring through the streets of the upper west side with an occasional burst of Vanderbilt cup speed, a low built racing car was run to earth early the other day after a continuous chase of three hours, in which a motorcycle policeman led a fleet of private cars. The pursued machine, driven by its owner, William Gohlhaus, a motor car dealer, had knocked down three women who were crossing Fifth ave nue at One Hundred and Thirteenth street. The accident was seen by three men in another car and they started the pursuit in which Motor cycle Policeman Ochenhirt joined al most immediately. The pursued car ran the gauntlet of fire from Ochen hirt's revolver. One policeman after another, at tracted by the noise of the pursued, stepped out from street corners and blazed aFay, hoping to strike a tire or cripple the machinery of the fly ing car. Goklhaus slid far down in his seat and his two companions crouched in the tonneau. The chase was the most dramatic ever known in this city. Up into the open spaces near Van Cort land Park and back into the swarm ing streets of the upper west side, n the big six-cylinder car whirled, cut- a out open and its exhaust roaring and spitting flame like a cup racer. Ochenhirt hung to the trail, about m two short blocks behind. His cycle r was good for 55 miles an hour and W he said he had it going at the top n' notch.

Invariably these attempts to violate the sanctity of the imperial precincts have ended in fail ure, and until a short time ago no consecutive and intelligent account of what actually goes on at court had ever been published. The death of the Emperor Mutsu hito, who has now joined the ranks of the Sacred Ancestors with the post humous title of Meiji Tenno, and the retirement of the lord chamberlain. Prince Tokudaiji, have removed the two greatest obstacles in the way of a more intimate knowledge of palace happenings. The new emperor and his consort, the Empress Sadeko, are much more modern in their ideas and thoughts than the late ruler and it has not taken long for several expreesions of their liberal tendencies to become evl dent. Palace is Modern. The emperor and emprept have not yet removed to the Cht,-4da place. the residence of the reigning monarch, from the Akaska palace, a brand new German structure, which is the home of the crown prince of Japan. This is owing to the necessity of the former undergoing a thorough turnout and re d pair. When they do go into residence there it is probable that the old order will be changed and that life in the ar palace will no longer follow the old girl mysterious routine which was asso ciated with the days of Mutsuhito. ar All the more interest therefore at taches to the contents of a small vol miy ume just published, "Jokwan Mono gatari," or the "Reminiscences of )hio.
