To prove that civilization goes no deeper than the skin that men and women of today are but savages gloseed over with a modicum of cul ture, a writer in Harper's Weekly quotes District Attorney Jerome's statistics of murder in New York City. Sixty persons, he says, are slain in anger every' twelve months " in that city alone. The writer pre sents Mr. Jerome's figures in an elab orate and very effective manner. The situation Is given a personal interest by the following paragraph: "Somewhere on Manhattan Island or In the tironx theie aie walking about at this moment sixty men and women who will be murdered be foie the end oi tiu du. ine iiaiai at this moment' refers, of course, to the time of writing; lor if by any chance the publication of these lines should bs delnyed one, two or three weeks, then one, two or three of the victims who are at this moment en joying life will have been stricken down by murderous hands before this article is generally read. You, sir or madam, who read these lines may bo one of the sixty appointed by Fate to bo 'murdered beforo the year has passed." The writer need not have paused. He might have said that in the entire United States there are so many hundred, or thousand citizens who arc doomed to fall by the hand of the homicide beforo tho present year is out. An estimate of the national total in murders for the coming twelve months would he very star' ling, although of no particular sig nificance. The fact that sixty per sons must dio in Now York City to appease the hatred, the jealousy, the greed of a certain few citizens, proves nothing in particular, and least of all tho Imputed sham of civilization. What, only sixty? Why not more than sixty? Merely because the civ ilization of the twentieth century is genuine. Tho elemental passions of men have been modified by the train ing of centuries. The primordial emotions have been tempered rend ered loss violent by tho artificial process of refinement which lias been in operation since Cain slew his brother with a club. Men nre slowly becoming their own masters, aio gradually learning to govern their unright impulses. The civilization of which wo are proud does stand for somothing, it is real, it exists, It has limited tho prospective murders of tho year in New York City to sixty. Within tho few square miles of New York City dwell approximately 4,000,000 human beings. Each is in tent on surviving, on extracting tho most from life. They interfere with eacii other's solflsh schemes, they jostle each other on tho streets, they moot In constant strife. Their multi farious interests conflict In a million different ways, their hopes and as pirations jangle inhnrnionlously. They hucldlo together many families of thoni In apartment houses, In crowded tenements, In great hotels, and oach cares only for his own hap piness, his own nchlovements. Yet in tho year only sixty will nmfco themselves sufficiently hated by or obstructive to tho business or love plans of their follows to bo murdored. Only sixty. Concoivo of 4,000,000 peoplo living together In an earlier ago, and only sixty murd erod In twolvo months! It Is not In bistory. It could not havo been a hundred years ago. Tho sixty vic tims would have been swelled to six hundred or six thousand. Man aro becoming more tomperato, aro acquiring n higher civilization, every Tear. But for tho dllatorlness of our criminal courts tho sixty homi cides might oven now be reduced to thirt,'', as unquestionably tho aver ago will bo reduced, not only In Now York, but In tho United States, nnd the world, during tho coming cen tury.

When we wore trains that swept the street And cleaned the sidewalk off com plete, And kept the curb all clean 'and neat, They kicked about it. And when our skirts climbed up a bit Some inches from the dirt and grit, And showed our shoes, all neat and fit They kicked about it. Dressed in a dinky little hat, They laughed and peered and smiled at that; But when we donned a baby flat, They kicked about It. Since they began to write the novel, I They've told how we, in hall or hovel, To catch a man would hunt and grovel And kicked about it. But since a little change began, And some of, us who've learned the plan, Aren't o"ife so crazy for a man They kick about it. E'en if the man down on the dump Will hold his yawp, some college chump, D. D. or Prof, will mount the stump And kick about us. It seoms they haven't work enough To run their schools and raise the stuff, They've always time to tell how tough We are, and kick about it. Race suicide calls forth their tear, But let a widow lone appear With nine at Ellis Isle, they'll steer Her back, and kick about It. It beats all H allfax, how sage And drivelling fools, from age to age Will still their ponderous minds en gage With us; no doubt about it What lordly brain did first begin u? Good Heaven sake, what Is them pi It? Why can't they let us be a ir'nutV We wouldn't kick about it. ANON. Mrs. 10. K. Jones was lio3tess to tho Bridgo Club Wednesday after noon.
