COACHMEN TURN CHAUFFEURS. | Most Students in Motor Schools Have Sat on the Box. | The instructor of one the largest schools of motor instruction in the country says that HO per cent, of his pupils are old coachmen sent by their 1 employers to learn how to drive the new carriages. They make good chauf feurs. : The simple reason is that while they may not be ble3s;>d with a great • amount of mechanical knowledge they ; know what" a vehicle is. what it is for and that it should be treated serious ly. I The same testimony, according to I the Review of Reviews, iw given by I one of the large automobile manu facturing companies which has estab lished a chauffeurs' school.

The Stock Gambler's Voice. As a rule, great manipulators havs high, thin voices and take a distrust ful view of securities. Their vocal pe culiarity must be left as an arbitrary Tact; as to their bearish slant of mind, I it is easily accounted for. It comes of ! the fact that their services are mors 1 often solicited by men having some- I thing to sell than hy men wishing to | buy- in tlie ratio of about five to ono. i Nevertheless there is no instance of i a bear manipulator's having died rich, i It is a bull's country.—Everybody's Magazine. Invented By a Woman. The Solano targets that have been approved by the War Office were in vented by a clever young English woman. Miss Hubbuck. This target takes the place of the old black and white target and makes ritie practice ; under conditions that are said to ap proximate those of war.

"Not at all, not at all," said Sir Wilfrid; "he's waiting for an excursion train." A Dreadful Analogy. The hypothetical question had juot been asked, and the prisoner fell for- | ward in a faint.
