« LIFE* Look Out, My Dearie. HERE’Sa noisy dragon coming, so, my dearie, have a care! ‘The fate of other boys and girls it may be yours to share ‘A goggled-eyed fanatic, with a thirst for blood and power, Is raging down the highway, seeking whom he may devour. So lose no time, my dearie, for beyond ali shade of doubt, The auto man will get you if you don't watch out! No tyrant ever sat a throne so witless or so cruel. Oh, woe to little boys and girls who snifl too close his fuel! No shame sits on that brazen brow, no law shall say him nay : His’ pleasure is the only god that moves him, night or day. So lose no time, my dearie, and take heed the warning shout : ‘The auto man will get you if you don't watch out! Tom Masson, The New Anglo-American. Club. 1t will be the most elaborate, the most extensive and expensive ciab tn Europe.— Cable dispatch, HE site of the new Anglo- American Club has not yet been selected, and the yellow journals are unde- cided whether it shall be the Bank of England or West- minster Abbey. The latter site is favored, as it already contains most of the clubbable persons in the British Isles. The plans for the new building have been completed and approved of by the charter members. It is to be a Chicago frame, thirty-two stories high, provided with airships instead of elevators, The foundations will be of good American rocks cemented with Yan- kee securities. The building will be surrounded with a row of columns of six figures each, surmounted with active capital. On either side of the main entrance will be a winged Assyrian bull that will symbolize the Beef Trust and its recent exploit in making prices soar. Although the purpose of the new club has not yet been announced, it is said in well-informed quarters that it is merely the first step in a gigantic scheme by which Mr. J. Pierpont Morgan will form an international Club Trast. It is said to be his intention to so reorganize all existing clubs as to place them on a sound financial basis. His ability to do this is doubted by old clubmen of wide and pathetic experience. The Constitution and Rules of the new club have been roughly sketched, the main features being as follows : XM. SANTOS-DUMONT. CONSTITUTION AND RULES. The name of this club shall be The Invaders’ Club of London, England, Its motto shall be ‘Damn the Expense.”* The government and management shall be in the bands of the various trusts represented. New membersshall be balloted for with Scotch high-balls. If any member calls for a high-ball of any other kind the candidate shall be considered (hic) rejected. Members of the royal family and peerage who may be of service on directorates and otherwise may be introduced by members. The great American game of poker shall be taught to eligible Britons of good financial standing at all hours. The library of this club shall not be provided by any Scotch-American, There is a limit. No servant of the club shall be given tips on the market. The membership shall consist of all multi-millionaires who apply in time—John W. Gates and Thomas W. Law- son, of course, excepted, Any member or visitor heard repeating any of Chauncey M. Depew’s old jokes will be summarily expelled. Although the club has been projected only a few weeks the waiting list already extends across the ocean and half way across the Continent. In the Closest Analysis.
