1036 Life’s Family Album A. B Walker T is always a difficult matter to say whether Mr A. B Walker is a broth- er of Wm H. Walker, or Wm. H. Walker is a brother of A. B. Walker.’ Each one is a distinguished contributor to Lire. Each lives in Flushing. There seems to be no choice. Mr. A. B. Walker, however, has for a long time been under the influence of the Greek Spirit and the Long Island Rail- road. One has taught him conciseness, the other technical accuracy; so that when we approached him for the facts, intending as usual that our interview with him should be written in that grace- ful and easy style of which we are so famous a master, he scorned our advances, and instead of this handed us the follow- ing time-table (corrected to date) of the life of A. B. WatkeF: Arrived Binghamton, N. Y., Nov. 19, 1878 Buff Central High Sc......1894 University of Rochester B.A.1897 Art St. League, N. Y. Metrimonial Junction...

Disposition—Amiable Siblbie oie The “Women's Car” The Burlington Railroad acknowledges the growing patronage of its lines by women by putting a “women’s car” on its express trains between Chicago and St. Paul.—The American. HO'S going to ride in it? Not women, as we predict the Bur- lington will discover. Women and strictly sober men, per- haps. Well, maybe. Women are not at all set on travel- ing with nobody but women You can’t put anything in a car that is more in- teresting and acceptable to women travelers than a man. He should be an orderly and sober man, to be sure, but a man. That is entirely reasonable. There is nothing on the earth that ought to in- terest women as much as men, or that should interest men as much as women. It is truc that men huddle off into smok- ing cars, but that’s because they like to smoke and not because they want to get away from women. McAdoo tried (by request) a women’s car on his subway trains, but the girls wouldn't ride an it. IRATES nowadays do not carry black flags, but they dress well.

Here was another very valuable life puffed out almost at its beginning Well; is football a healthy sport for men who do it thoroughly, and have, and employ, the powers to do something clse? Nothing can beat football as a means of winning for a promising young man a two-column death notice in the papers —says the Evening Post—but is the game really healthy? The greatest pow- ers can be exhausted by excessive de- mands on them, especially in youth Doesn't football scem to come pretty high, considering what it amounts to?
