~ BILL IN COUNCIL Couple Married | Twice in 5 WOULD ABOLISH FORTUNE TELLING Proposed Ordinance Intro- duced by Dr. Fletcher De- nies License to All Who Foretell_ Future—Another Measure Is Designed to Exile All Vagrants. NEW McKINLEY SWITCH BILL IN THE HOUSE Delegate Hale Asks Board of Appraisers to Pave Way for River Front Park and Walker Introduces Health Tenement Regulations.

All able-bodied persons who refuse to work and support themselves will be officially prosecuted and driven out of the city if Councilman Paul R. Fletch- er’s bill creating a Social Welfare Com- mission, introduced in the Council Fri- day night, becomes a law. ™he Social Welfare bill was one of two important bills introduced by Dr. Fletcher. This bill provides for the establishment of a municipal lodging house to care for unfortunates, for the suppression of vagrancy and profes- sional beggary and for procuring em- ployment for the unemployed. The second bill provides for the sup- pression of all fortune telling and is designed to drive out of business in St. Louis professional clairvoyants, mecromancers, palmists, astrologists and seers. It provides for the abolition of the practice of licensing fortune tellers and clairvoyants and makes any sort of fortune telling for profit or otherwise a misdemeanor, subject to a penalty of $100 to $500. The Social Welfare Commission, under Dr. Fletcher's bill, is clothed, with broad powers. It is to be com- prised of seven members, three of whom shall be 9@ges of the district police courts, and the other fdéur to be appointed by the Mayor. Shall Eatablish Lodging House: The first duty imposed upon the commission is to establish a muni- cipal lodging house to provide ac- ecmmodations for homeless persons. The commission is authorized to em- ploy a superintendent of the lodging house at a salary of $100 a month and two assistants at $49. A muni- cipal lodging house has been advo- cated by social welfare leaders in St. Louis for many years, but Dr. Fletcher's bill is the first step taken teward its creation. The commission is also charged witi: the duty of co-operating with the Police Department for the suppression of ya- grancy and professional beggary and is specifically charged with. the dutv of prosecuting persons who will not take employment and make themselves self-suppotting. The commission is an- thorized to find employment for the un- employed. The commission !s to become the leer] agency for ‘receiving contributions for charitable purposes. The commission will, ma measure, supplant the Prov- ident and other associations now en- gaged in relieving distress among the poc?. The bill provides that the commissicn shall also exercise the function of rec- ommending paroles tn the police courts and shall have supervision over th: workhouse and eity jail in the matter «f caring for prisoners. $10,500 Proposed for Work. The bill carries an appropriation of $10,600 for carrying out its provisions. It provides for the employment of a secretary at a salary 6%. $2100 a year, for three parole officers to the police courts at $1200 a vear, and one sten- orrapher at $900 a year. The members of the commission are to serve with- out pay but are required to meet once a month aod make quarterly reports t¢ the Mayor and Municipal Assembly. The bill to suppress fortune telling makes it also a misdemeanor for any one to display any sign of any character advertising one’s self as a medium. for- tune teller or clairvoyant. Dr. Pletcher said he made the provisions of this bill- broad erough to cover every character of fortune telling. and that if it wae passed it would put an effectual stop to @ practice which has grown to great proportions in St. Louis. Delegates Hear Many Bilis. The meeting of the House of Dele- gates Friday night, the first since the summer vacation, brought out a flood of bills dealing with many subjects. The important bills were: By Delegate Bischoff: Revised bill granting the McKinley Rallway System a franchise to connect with the tracks of the Termina! Railroad Association at the west end of the McKinley bridge. hy Delegate Hale: A bill creating a Thonrd of Appraisers to determine the vaine of the river front property, be- tween Washington avenue, Poplar 4 Third streets, with a view of trans- rming it Into a park,

“WEETOUPOLE WEEKE CONDUCTED CANBIING CAME Chief Young Says She Called on Him and He Referred Matter to Detective Wells. COULDN’T FIND PLAYERS Woman Seeking Divorce De.- clares Judges and Politicians Frequented His Place. Following her suft for divorce from Henry L. Weeke, Mrs. Nellie Weeke alleges that her husband con- ducted a gambling game at the cor- mer of Clark avenue and Twelfth street, a few yards from the Central Police Station. She says«she told Chief of Police Young about this game and that prominent city officials, including judges, attended the game. lef Young said Saturday morn- ing Mrs. Weeke did visit him. “She told me,” said the Chief, “that her husband was not treating her right. Ehe said that when she went to his Place to ask for money that he chased her away. I told her that her troubles were a matter for the divorce court and nothing the police department could help her in. - “As she left my ‘office she said there was gambling going on over her husband's place at the northeast corner of Clark avenue and Twelfth street. I told Detective Peter Wells, who has charge of such matters, what she said, and thought no more about it.” Wells Went to Weeke. Chief of Detectives Allender said that he could not recall a visit from Mrs. Weeke. “She may have called on me,” he said, “and reported card playing, but if she did I presume I referred the mat- ter to Detective Wells without giving it ny further attention. That would be the usual thing to do, and I have no remembrance of seeing Mrs. Weeke.”’ Detective Wells said: “I received a report either from Chief Young or Chief Allender about gambling at Weeke’s place. I watched the place for a week or two without seeing anything sus- picious. There is a stairway leading to the second story from Clark avenue and I saw no one going up. There was no light upstairs and no signs of a game. -"When I°faltled to find any trace of . gambling I went to Weeke. “Little Private Game.” “Weeke told me there was no gam- bling. He said some of his friends dropped in there Saturday afternoons and played cards, but there was n: and nobody was getting skinned.

Mrs. Weeke says that her husband’s customers included several prominent state and city officials and each of the players in the poker game took out $0! worth of chips. She has named most cf _ the players and the list includes six men who hold important positions in the courts and city government, three holding appointive offices and five who were fellow members with her husband of the Republican City Central Commit- tee, She says she was compelled to cook and serve meals to the players un- til she and her husband separated Aug. The players were old-time acquaint- ances of Mrs. Weeke, according to her statement, for she says that when her husband ran the saloon in the Wright Building he conducted a-similar game at his home,. 2327 St. Louis avenue, with ‘practically the same players.

This announcement follows a denunciation of him by the Anti-Saloon League on account of his activity against prohibition. In several states where there has been a vote taken on state-wide prohibition, Meeker has been a campaign speaker and has talked against prohibition as impractical, inefficient and unwise. For this he has been severely censured by other ministers, both of his own churéh and others. He says he has resigned to work in a larger field, He says that he does not contemplate taking another pastorate, but did not explain what his plans are. When asked if ue would take the stump against prohibition, he said that anyone who knew his sentiments would understand that he was opposed to pro- hibition and if he talked on the subject it would be in opposition. He has been in nis present pastorate for six years.

LOPES AGAINST FATHER'S WILL Creve Coeur Man Declares She. Shall Never Darken Door of His Home Again.

Miss Adele Stoye, who eloped from her home at Creve Coeur, Thursday, with George Proffitt, is the third of John Stoye’s daughters to marry against his will, and his anger is so great that he has vowed that Mrs. Proffitt shall never darken his door again. | Efforts of Proffitt's mother to soft- en him have failed. The bride says she has no intention of darkening the door of her father’s home, and will never do so unless he comes to her and apologizes to her for the way he treat- ed her before her marriage. Father of Seven Girls. Stoye is the father of seven girls and. according to Mrs. Proffitt, he has never permitted the older ones to have young men callers. She says he promised ner two older sisters that when they were of age they could do as they pleased, but did not keep his promise, and they had to get married without his perms sion. He opposed her receiving the attention of Proffitt, she said, but told her she would be permitted to go with him when she was 18. She did not wait until she was 18, but eloped. Stoye’s third daughter was 17 when George Proffitt, the 24-year-old son of the Rev. J. L. Proffitt, pastor of Zion Church at Creve Coeur, began paying attentions to her. As she could not have him call at her home, she met him at appointed places and they took walks together. One day recently Stoye saw his daughter with Proffitt.

As a punishment for his daughter. she says, he ordered her to go to work end she obtained a position as telephone operator. Thursday morning she me‘ Proffitt by appointment and they went to Belleville. They were refused a li- cense there on account of the youthful- ness of the bride. At Granite City the license Was issued to them and Justice Sowell married them. They returned to St. Louls and are temporarily at the home of the bride’s sister, Mrs. D. H.

She told them she had been to see Stoye. but had been unsuccessful in her ef- forts to reconcile him to the marriage of his daughter and he had declared that she should never enter his home again. The bride was not depressed by the In- formation, “If he should come to me and apologize for the way he treated me I might go to see him, but otherwise not,” she said.

REPUBLICANS PLAN AGOMPROMISE IN ELECTORAL COLLEGE Missouri Electors Favor Third Man if Taft and T. R. Divide Majority of Total Electors,

Missouri Republicans have started a movement to prevent a deadlock on the election of President by the Electoral College in the event that a majority of the total electora! vote is split between Col. Roosevelt, Progressive candidate for President, and President Taft, Re- publican nominee. The first definite step along this line has been taken by the 1&6 Republican electors. from this State. Republican leaders have formulated an agreement with the electors whereby it is pro- posed to support a compromise candai- date for President if it should be found that the Democrats are without a ma- jority in the Electoral College, and there are not enough regular Republicans to bring about the re-election of President Taft. It is further understood that the electors will not vote for Col. Roose- velt under any circumstances. Whether the position of the Missouri Republican electors can be made efferct- ive is contingent, of course, the lead- ers say, on the Republican party carry- ing this State at the November election. A Condition to Hadley’s Support. The plan to thwart a possible dead- lock in the electoral college is said to have been inspired by Gov. Hadley and is one of the conditions on which he agreed to support President Taft, ac- _4icording to the statement of a prominent Republican chieftain to a Post-Dispatch reporter Saturday. It is stated that Gov. Hadley, as a supporter of Taft and an original advo- cate of Roosevelt for the presidency, would stand an excellent chance of be- ing made the next President of the United States if conditions so shaped themselves as to give the Progressives and the Taft men control of the elec- toral college. - s In case the electoral college failed to decide on a choice, the election of a President is determined by the Nationa! House of Representatives. When the Republican leaders were sounded on the ‘‘compromise’’ plan, Had- ley’s friends distinctly disavowed any intention of booming the Governor for President. Will Win Votes to Tickets, “Tf it is understood,” seid a Repub- liecan leader, “‘that the Republicans are determined to elect a President in the event the Bull Moose electors should deadlock the electoral — it will bring thousands of votes tOsthe ticket. “There is no doubt the Progfassives, finding they could not elect Rooseyelt and refusing to support Taft, would support another progressive Republican rather than permit the election to go jo the House of Representatives. We lieve other states will adopt the Mis- souri compromise.”’ The Missouri scheme is taken by poli- ticlans to mean that the Republicans expect Roosevelt to carry several states. It is admitted by well-iaformed leaders that the Bull Moose movement in Wash- ington, California and Colorado, is ex- ceptionally formidable, Should Taft hold his own in states east of the Mississippi River and Roose- velt capture a number of Western and Suuthwestern States, the Republicans figure, Gov. Wilson will be defeated. Hadley will make his maiden speech for Taft at the Odeon Theater, next Saturday night. According to an un- Cerstanding effected with the State Committee, the Governor will announce that he is advocating Taft’s re-election because of the belief that Roosevelt cannot win and the election of Wilson, the Democratic nominee, would be dis- astrous for the business interests of the country. JOHNSTON’S TYPIST WITHDRAWS HER SUIT Miss Kurtenacker Will Not Push Damage Litigation Against Arresting Officers. Miss Mildred Kurtenacker, through her attorney, William Grodzki, Saturday withdrew her $100,000 damage suit against Prosecuting Attorney Mills and Constable Bode of St. Louis County end Detectives Kaiser and McCarthy of the St. Louis detective force. The suit was based on her arrest and detention on a charge of removing effects belonging to Roland L. Johnston from his summer home at Diecke, Mo., after Johnston had been taken to a sanitarium. 2 Johnston, who was formerly Prose- cuting Attorney of St. Louis County, tas been adjudged insane and a second hearing as to his mental condition is nc - under way. Miss Kurtenacker was Lis private secretary and stenographer. A week ago it was made public that Miec, Kurtenacker and Johnston’s law partner, George B. Webster, had been indicted by a St. Louis County grand jury on a charge of stealing Johnston's effects. Webster, after surrendering and giv- ing bond, .aid the charge was made to offset Miss Kurtenacker’s damage suit. Miss Kurtenacker left town about the time the indictment was made public, and the papers in the criminal prosecu- tion have not been served on her.

Burke, the Reformed Ex-Convict, Former Councilman, Has Fled

doft” for | Friend Who Backed Him }Loses Interest in te Cae Store| When Philadelphia Council Accepts Resignation. Special to the Post-Dispatch. PHILADELPHIA, Sept. 21—The up- building of William Burke into a pres- ‘ent-day Jean Valjean by William L. Fehr, himself splendidly true to the Jean Valjean type, seems now to have been frustrated by the sudden disappearance of Burke after Fehr had given him the helping hand intended for his regener- ation. William Burke is the former Council- man of this city, who, on Aug. 16, re- signed his seat in the City Council, to which he was elected on the reform tick- et with Mayor Blankenburg last fall, accompanying his resignation with a confession that he had been a convict, and, therefore, was not worthy to sit in a legislative assembly. Reformed Man Aids Him. William L. Fehr, American repre- sentative of the Chinese Merchants’ As- sociation, then instantly came to the moral and material aid of Burke, ad- vancing nearly $1000 to set Burke up in the retail cigar business in order that he shoud have adequate oppor- tunity to live an honest and self-re- specting life. Fehr himself, six years ago, completed a prison term, and has since that time fully proved in his own case that an ex-convict can make him- self a worthy member of society. Burke disappeared Thursday night, following the acceptance of his resigna- tion by the City Council. He had told some friends that he had hoped the Council would not accept his resigna- tion. Fehr was profoundly concerned in his welfare, and had most gener- ously told Burke that he could take as long a time as he chose to repay the loan of $1000 necessary to start him in the cigar business. Friend Sorry for Him, “I am sorry fot Burke,” said Fehr, ruefully, today, “‘but he has certainly given me an awful jolt. I had more faith in human nature, I don’t know where he is. He hadn't run the cigar store very long when he seemed to get tired of it. He didn’t try to attend to business. I told him to brace up, but he couldn’t. He always wanted money. He would do all sorts of things, he said, if he just had a couple of hundred dol- lars. I gave him $200 and told him to paddle his own canoe.”’ Whereupon, promptly, William Burke disappeared. His case is curiously interesting in its most. vital aspects. He was in good repute here. He stood in line, had he so desired, to win honor and distinction ir public service. He was trusted by the community. Confessed and Resigns. Yet, suddenly, he made his confession and resigned from the City Council. He told how, under the name of Benjamin H. Tripp, he had served a long term in the Massachusetts State prison after a criminal career in Boston and New York. Then, in 1907, he had come to this city and earned an honest living as a wood carver, a tradé which he had learned in jail. Taking an active interest in politics, he was prevailed upon to accept the nomination for Coun- cilman. And, almost immediately following his election, his confession stated, Burke had come face to face with a former fellow convict, who recognized him. This man, he said, saw a big opportunity for blackmail in the situation thus cre- ated, and was swift to improve the evil opportunity. He made Burke's life a burden by his threats of exposure. Final- ly, driven to desperation, Burke de- termined to resign and tell his own siory. This he did, thus bringing to light what instantly impressed all as one of the most piteous of moral tragedies in real life. It was then that William L. Fehr came to his rescue. Although he had confessed to having been for years the pal and stool-pigeon of “gophers,” ‘“veggmen” and “moll-buzzers,” as the criminal world terms its expert pickers of safe-locks, blowers of safes and pickers of womens pockets, Fehr be- lieved that Burke had the making of a good man in him. At any rate, he de- termined that Burke should have a chance to live an honest life. GROCER OUT ON BOND Says He Didn’t Know Goods He Bought Were Stolen, Henry J. Reineke, a@ grocer, at 4251 Natural Bridge road, who was arrested Friday after detectives had found in the basement of his store goods stolen from a dray belonging to the Mercan- tile Transfer Co., was released Friday night on a common law bond signed by Nathan Hall of the House of Delegates. Reineke, who is 27 years old, told Chief Allender he did not know the goods he purchased from Harry Clay- ton, ostdeana +N convict, had been stolen.

BOYS TRESPASS IN ; HOUSE VESTIBULE Two Lads Spend Night in Wash- ington Boulevard Home Uninvited. When Mrs. J. L. Jones, of 3834 Wash- ington boulevard, got up Saturday morning, she found two boys, about 12 years old, camping in the vestibule of her home. The boys admitted that they had been there all night and the vesti- rule was littered with milk bottles, scraps of bread, beets, corn and other vegetables. Mrs. Jones found also that the boys had taken the faucet from a waterpipe projecting beyond the foundation and were unable to replace it. She made them go to the basement, turn off the water, put on the faucet and turn the water on again. While they were doing that she telephoned the police and four patrolmen in a wagon rushed to the place from the Laclede avenue station. The boys, however, escaped before the police arrived. Mrs. Jones said she recognized both boys as young trouble makers who had become acquainted with her ll-year- old son, Thomas Gipperich.

SE Bo a Piles ; TWO | +> TEXTBOOK PLANK Republican Candidate for Gov- ernor Declares Labor Leaders Were Consulted. John C. McKinley, Republican can- didate for Governor, told a Post-Dis- patch reporter, Saturday, that he would be glad to take up with union labor leaders that feature of the Re- publican State platform providing for an investigation into the feasiblity of’ using convict labor in the manu- facture of free text-books for the public schools. fA “I think my position on this ques- tion is misunderstood,” said McKin- ley. “In the first place, up to the time of my leaving Unionville a few days ago, I had not received a com- plaint from any source regarding the school text-book plank. The pub- lished statement from Charles Her- tenstein, president of Typographical Union No. 8, is the first Intimation I have had of ahy opposition on the part of the printers’ union. Declares Friendship fer Laber. .~.ere is no desire on my part i. ad- vocate any proposition which woud do injury to the great cause of organized labor. I have voted for measures ad- vocated by this interest while a member of the State Senate and I went on record some time ago as absolutely oppesed to the present convict labor system Now, in. abolishing the system as it exists today, employment of some kind must be found for the inmates of the State Penitentiary. They cannot re- main in idleness. “Everyone will agree that the convicts must work at something to occupy their time. It is «wt contemplated that the convicts would set up the composition for the text books. It might be that the State would find it necessary to buy the plates, leaving the work of folding and binding to the convicts. Merely Proposes Investigation. }~ “If the contents of the textbooks were prepared in this State it would be necessary to use union labor on the composition. No convict could do that work. It is merely proposed in the Re- publican platform, however, to investi- gate this question in order to determine whether or not the proposed plan is practical and proper. If it is not It will certainly not be adopted. “There is not a school textbook pub- lished in Missouri today that I know of. A Schoolbook Trust, a foreign concern, is at present our chief supply agent. I think this matter can be ex- plained to the satisfaction of the labor leaders. “I discussed the proposition with sev- eral of them, including a former State Mine Inspector, and no objection was urged.”

May Make Statement. ‘T can’t say anything now, but per- haps I can make a statement of my views later. I don't like to talk when I am off my own heath.”’ “Mr. Wilson and Mr. Roosevelt do a great deal of talking aw2s from their own heath,” some one suggested. ‘“‘Well,’”’ replied the Archbishop, “I can see that you folks are for Roosevelt and Wilson. I have some very decided opinions, but I can’t tell you now what they are. Maybe I will tell you Mon- day. “There is no movement in the church indorse any certain candidate, and there is only one prelate whose political views are known to me.’’ A broad smile bestowed with the last sentence indi- cated that the prelate referred to was Archbishop Ireland of St. Paul. The remark about suffrage came when the reporters asked the Arch- bishop if his views on the qu2stion were the same as those of Cardinal Gibbons of Baltimore, who said a few days ago that, in his opinion, equal suffrage would tend to increase the divorce evil. Archbishop Ireland made the trip from Wichita to St. Louis with Kerens and the Rev. D. S. Phelan, editor of the Western Watchman. The three rode away from the station together in an automobile. The Archbishop went to the Jefferson Hotel. Archbishop Ireland will be a guest at the Jefferson two or three days, but will spend much of his time with Arch- bishop Glennon. The two southern prelates went to Archbishop Glennon’s home to rest for the day. They will depart for the South Saturday aight. Turned Over to Reporters, When the two started to buy tickets for the remainder of the journey, Arch- bishop Glennon stopped the New Or- leans prelate. “One of you can buy the tickets,”’ he said. ‘‘Let me turn you over to the hands of the enemy, the newspaper men,” he added with a laugh. Later he asked Archbishop Blenk to go to the second floor of the station and inspect the waiting room. Archbishop Glennon said, when asked about his political views, “The church is not in politics and there is no gen- eral sentiment in favor of any candi- date. We of the clergy are just like reporters—we vote for anybody we like best.’’ SHE SUES SON FOR $3000 Lewis J. Ritschey Defendant in Suit on Notes.

THE STATE SCHOOL BOOK Mr. McKinley’s desire to defeat the Book Trust and give public séhools free text-books univer- sally is commendable. But the method suggested in the Republican State platform is impracticable and undesirable. School text-books cannot be made to order. To be worth anything, they must be the product of experts—men and women who have made the sub- jects treated their life study. The matter in such books is usually protected by copyright. And the matter to be printed in the text-books to be used ia Missouri schools is the most essential part of the problem. It must be of the highest character. Missouri must have the product of the best minds at home and abroad. As for the printing, do the teachers and parents desire the children to handle books printed in the State penitentiary, where tuberculosis and other diseases are pypvalent? The recent report of the Tuberculosis Commission, appointed by Gov. Had- ley, showed that at the State penitentiary 21 per cent of the inmates were afflicted with the White Plague. Of 88 deaths occurring in that institution in 1909 and 1910, 57 were traced to tuberculosis. It is a well-known fact that a large percentage of convicts are sufferers from tuberculosis, incipient or pronounced, when they enter the prison. And the conditions there almost invariably tend to give the disease a greater hold upon its victims. Both from a practical and sanitary standpoint, State concocted, prison printed school books are out the question. wwe

A vigorous and sincere investigation of the ac- tions of Standard Oi] magnates since May, 1911, when the Supreme Court ordered the trust’s dis- solution, should convince the Department of Jus- tice that the oil company directors and officials are in contempt of court. The Post-Dispatch has published from time to time the news showing what tricks and evasions have been resorted to by the moving spirits at 26 Broadway to keep the control of the parent oil company and every one of the subsidiary concerns in the same hands as before. These tricks include the substitution of dummy directors for real ones, the minute subdivision of dividend coupons in or- der to drive out small shareholders, and the changing of names of subsidiary companies, so av to make it appear that companies involved in the court’s order no longer exist. The evasions are so obvious that they appear absurd even to the layman. They are the last re- sort of men driven into a corner. The proposed investigation by the Department of Justice should be begun at once. The penalty for contempt of court should be visited upon the guilty, if guilt is disclosed. And the court should ‘appoint experts of its own selection to carry out its decree.

A dangerous innovation in news presentation is the daily line of pictures intended to illustrate a current event, but specially posed and in no sense representing the actual occurrence. When a crime has been committed, newspapers using this device hasten to produce a series of pictures intended to show how the suspected criminal committed the act. In the cage of a murder, the various steps hinted at by the de- tectives’ or reporters’ theories are posed, as if for moving pictures. And the result appears in a string of pictures, more or less convincing, ,on the page where the text of the “story” is printed. _ The average hurried reader glances first at these pictures, probably misses the notice that the pictures are posed, and concluding that the newspaper has the facts and has actually been fortunate enough to catch them photographically, makes up his mind as to the guilt of the accused. It is a newspaper's business to state the facts, without prejudice or bias. The posed news pic- tures must, In many cases, arouse prejudice and warp the reader’s judgment, by appealing to his imagination with scenes that may never have had any basis in fact.

EASY PUBLIC SERVICE PROBLEM. The problem of the United Railways Corpora- tion, which is seeking an extension of franchises and an adjustment of taxation, and of the Termi- nal Association which has vainly sought the priv- ilege of enlarging its facilities, is simple. St. Louisans are not against the United Rail- ways. Thy are merely against the wrongs they have suffered at the hands of the men who per- loined its franchises and manipulated its finances for their own enrichment. They are not against its making fair profits. They are merely against ite taking plunder by inadequate extensions, im- provements and service at the expense of the peo- ple. The people of St. Louis are not against the Ter- minal. They are merely opposed to its discrimi- nations against St. Louis. The combine of rail- roads has operated against the interests of the city by forcing upon St. Louis traffic an abnormal and discriminating burden of tolls. The people of St. Louis want the Terminal to have all the facilities it needs to handle traffic. But they are opposed to giving franchises to a combine which hampers the trade and growth of the city. If these corporations are fair to St. Louis they will receive fair treatment from the people of St. Louls. They have only to prove to the people their willingness to co-operate with them for mu- tual interests, and for the advancement of St. Louis to win the co-operation and confidence of the people. They have only to pay their debts, keep their agreements and come to the people of St. Louis with the assurance that they will respect public rights and promote public interests, and they will have no further reason for complaint of St. Louis hostility. When the Terminal eliminates all discriminat- ing charges on St. Louis traffic, and all monopoly abuses from its combination agreemerts, We as- sure the railroad managers the opportunity to build the finest terminal system in the world. When the United Railways pays its debts to the city, and asks stable conditions on a just and lib- eral basis, which will guarantee adequate service for the present and the future, opposition will vanish. The way for public service corporations to dissi- pate public hostility is to remove the causes of hostility, and substitute reasons for good will and support. There is no other way. (== _ a a

Boston seems to have had doubts lately whether a zoo is educational, bit the doubts were only partly confirmed when the Globe of that city sought light. “A zoo educational?” jeered N. H. Dole, au- thor and humorist. “That is what the man pre- tends who sacrifices himself in going to the cir- cus for the educational benefit of his children.” But Mr. Dole did not want to be understood as disapproving of zoos. He does approve of them. “We go,” he said, ‘““‘because we want to be amused and not because we have the remotest thought of being educated.” Miss Frances Zirngiebel, high school teacher of zoology, thought the educational value “perhaps overestimated” because the average zoo is a “promiscuous colleetion not selected with a view to showing animal structures and relationships and the development of animal forms from sim- ple to complex.” She thought an aquarium or an aviary of large capacity had greater educational possibilities than the collection of larger mam- nials that make up most city zoos. “Only mildly educational,” said President John Ritchie of the Boston Scientific Society, but he ad- mitted that a zoo is a civic asset as a feature likely to attract visitors. ‘‘Kipling with a week’s ob- servation of the mongoose at Washington,” he said, “caught the inspiration for ‘Rickatickatavi.’ It is difficult to figure out in dollars and cents the value to the people of one such inspiration.” Zoology is studied at a considerable expense in time and money in the schools, and Curator J. T. Benson of the Boston Zoological Gardens pointed out that what is acquired with difficulty in weeks of study from textbooks may be acquired in half av hour ata zoo. “Educational in the highest de- gree” summed up his practical observation. St. Louis has perhaps the finest botanical gar- den in America. It should have a zoological gar- den of equal rank. It would be a profitable muni- cipal asset.

A, Ai ie Sa a PEDAL PRIDE IN THE EAST. Mrs, A. A. Birney, president of the Washington (D. C.) organization of the Mothers’ Congress, is greatly pleased because it has been discovered that the young women of New York and Wash- ington have bigger feet than those of any other cities in the world. It used to be believed that Chicago was supremely blessed in this respect, but pedal superiority has moved eastward, and Mrs. Birney thinks New York and Washington should be proud of their big-footed girls. These two cities, in sheer modesty, may deny the possession of this womanly excellence, but present fashions ir dress are such that it cannot be concealed. “Bigger feet and strong, hardy muscles are at last coming to our pretty young women,” said Mrs. Birney. She also declared that she wished other parts of the country were blessed as are New York and Washington in this matter. How can we deny that St. Louis is still very backward in this respect. Our young women continue to have small feet and haven't even humility enough to be ashamed of it. They say it hurts the eyes—men’s eyes—to look at big feet, and taat they do not care to assume the responsibility of giving the men ocular pains. The truth of the matter is that the mothers, the grandmothers and the great-grandmothers of the St. Louis girls had small hands and feet and their would not again be President. heels, but these St. ‘Lae maidens and Hab i will probably adhere to he belief tnat feet shoulu be ornamental as well as useful. i A An = a Right of way, for the eastern approach to the free bridge has been legalized on both sides of the river.

To the Editor of the Post- -Dispatch. I noticed an article in your paper of last Sun-~ day to the effect that the Forest Park Commis- Sioner has refused to accept any more animals tendered by the Zoological Society of this city on the ground that the park is not a fit place for the location of a’ zoo. I am surprised by the Stand taken by the Commissioner and sincerely trust. that after he has given further thought to this matter he will see the Zreat advantages to be derived by the general public in having a zoo located in the park as that is the Only proper Place for such an exhibit. I have been a resident of this city for the past nine years and at present living at 4947 Washing- ton boulevard, and I know that other residents of that locality besides myself would greatly ap- preciate having a zoo in Forest Park, where it wculd bea source of much pleasure and enlight- enment to the general public. I formerly resided on the North Side of Chicago for about twenty years and often visited, along with many thou- Sand others, Lincoln Park for the purpose of see- ng the fine collection of animals in their zoo. I hope that the good work being done by Mr. Cortlandt Harris of the Zoological Society and the Post-Dispatch in behalf of this zoo will even- tually result in its being located in Forest Park, where it rightfully belongs, and where all of us “common people’ may have the opportunity of visiting it.

Fire Drills in Schools. To the Editor of the Post-Dispatch, Don’t we have fire drills in our public schools? St. Louis has one of the best school systems in the United States, with this one exception. Our little girl attends the Stoddard Sch ; which is a very old, dry building and would burn fn 15 minutes, carrying with the ruins perhaps forty Or fifty little lives, because the cry of fire would Stampede grown people, much less little ones, un- less they were trained to march out. Now before some “awful catastrophe happens” let us take precautions. PARENT. Ventilation on Street Cars. To the Editor of the Post-Dispatch. Would it not be a good idea to suggest to Capt. McCulloch that when he is giving instruc- tions to conductors for collecting fares, making change, etc., he would add to the list a few sug- gestions on ventilation. Get on a street car in the morning and see the smokers with their vile cigarettes, rotten pipes and cigars—not in the last three seats, but all the way to the front, and the ventilators closed—enough to suffocate one I understand Chicago has a new pay-as-you-enter car with entrance and exit at the front end of the car—no platform in the rear, consequently no place for smokers. The conductor does not give any signals to the motorman. His duty is to col- lect the nickels and look after the welfare of his passengers by keeping the car properly venti- lated. Each car is furnished with a thermometer, which, by the way, is compulsory, B. BH. Jd. A Clairvoyant Prophecy. To the Editor of the Post-Dispatch. In December, 1910, the noted Mme. de Thebes of Paris prophesied that Mr. Roosevelt would not again be chosen President; also that Mr. Taft Of Roosevelt she said: “He has a wonderful brain; his ambitious desire for power is a malady of that brain. It is the worm in the apple. If he tries to go too high he will break his wings and fall. It is his ambition which will destroy him. In failing to place him again in the presidency, however, America will be wrong, for he has the strong fist that is neces- sary in governing a young people. He has the energy to correct the faults of the people, and, above all, he has the energy to defend the people, TAURUS MOOSW AH. Library Workers’ Pay. To the Editor of the Post-Dispatch. There has been much discussion concerning the salaries of public school teachers and the time of payment. Consider the case of the Public Library assistants? These girls have to have a high school education (or equivalent) in order to pass the examination. Then after serving two weeks dur- ing the summer without pay, they are required to attend a “training school” for one year. During this time, they work one-half day (each day) without pay, to gain practical experience. At the end of the term they are appointed and receive the magnificent sum of $40 per month. For every increase and advance an examination must be passed. Why is so much required and so little given in return? Few girls who are compelled to be self- supporting and wish to maintain a refined social position can hope to be a librarian because of the low wages given; especially after giving so much time and study in gaining the position. It ig as- tcenishing what the girls are required to know. They must, most naturally, be acquainted with the standard authors and their works, and be able t» tell the public something of them. They must read current fiction also and be able to discuss new. books intelligently. Topics of general inter- est are important. After leaving work the girls must take time to read up on topics and events of which they must be prepared to give information. I ask again, why is 80 much required with so little compensation? ONE WHO DOES NOT UNDERSTAND. Homeless Animals for the Zoo. To the Editor of the Post-Dispatch. Park Commissioner Davis has been subjected to considerable censure for refusing to accept animals offered by the Zoological Society, but Mr. Davis is not to blame. The administration is at fault for not appropriating sufficient funds to enable Mr. Davis to properly care for all antmals offered. Mr. Davis has willingly accepted from: the Zoo- logical Society every animal offered provided he could house same, and has only refused such animals or birds that could not be given proper shelter in Forest Park. I understand Mr. Davis is in favor of a Zoo and it is up to the city to back him up, and un- less our city fathers wake up we will never have a Zoo. The Zoological Society has a membership of 400, and it is possible all the members could do as some are doing now, house animals at their homes and on Sundays we could lead our animals out to the park and exhibit them, and the city would have no expense. I feel our city officials are wide awake, how- ever, and will come to the aid of the Zoological Society. G. E. DIECKMAN.

ROOSEVELT AND THE SOCIALISTS, From the Appeal to: Reason. The returns from Vermont election justify what I have said in these col- umns about the effect of the Roosevelt campaign on the Socialist vote. Two years ago the Socialists cast 1067 votes in Vermont. This year, according to the dispatches, the Socialist vote is 1115. Vermont is not, strictly speaking, a typical state, but it serves as an in- dex of what we may expect, unless every Socialist worthy the name goes te work with the single purpose of showing to the nation who and what this man Roosevelt is and the interests back of him that expect to profit enor- ing his former administrations. you can think to do and then in addi- tion do what the Appeal tells you to do, In October, definite date to be an- nounced later, the Appeal will issue a real Roosevelt number. We will go into his record carefully from the time he entered public life to the present day. Most of these facts are familiar in a general way to our old readers. But we should remember that we have thousands of new recruits who are not yet thoroughly grounded in the princi- ples of our movement. These are the men and women to whom Roosevelt is making his specious plea when he re- fers hypocritically to ‘“‘Brother Debs,”’ the same Debs he branded as an unde- sirable citizen when he was the chief executive of the nation. There are now S£,000,000 voters, counting the women in the states where they now have a presidential. vote, and it is to these people we must go with our message and the facts of Roosevelt’s checkered political career. W'e are going to win —yes—but we want to win now—not some day in the distant future. I know, and so do you, that the Roosevelt wave is but a passing one, but unless we take vigorous action now, this very day, to counteract that wave, it will serve this campaign to do just what the promoters designed it should—put us on the sidetrack. The Appeal has never made a state- ment about this man that it cannot prove. Furthermore, our offer of $6000 to anyone who will disprove our charge that Roosevelt knowingly used his of- ficial position while Governor of New York to aid Harriman in stealing $62,- 000,000 will be renewed and published from the house tops throughout the na- tion.

And the world is grown Folk Lore and Science. Down in the Ozarks very curative power is attributed to plain drinking water drunk from a new shoe. They will tell you that for sore mouth among infants there can be no better remedy. Knowing all this, I was not much sur- prised when one morning one of the natives brought his baby boy.to our camp to use one of my new shoes for a drinking cup. O14 Mrs. Peters, who furnished us with fresh buttermilk, had known it to cure when all else had failed. She had used it with her boys “‘way back befo’ the war, when they ni had to cross the mountain to find a new shoe.” Now, according to ths old law of survival of the fittest, I thought that there must be something to this odd superstition, for it certainly had sur- vived; so, after my visitor left, I de- cided to investigate. I refilled the heel of the shoe and took a sip. Did you ever chew a piece of bark? Oak bark—that's what I tasted; and the strange part of it was the strength of it. Yes, there was that peculiar astringent, alum-like taste, strongly flavored with oak bark. “Now what is there in oak bark,’ thought I, “that could be considered as a medicine?” At the very first opportunity I went to town and to the lone drug store, where I unearthed the fourteenth edi- tion of the Pharmacopia, and among the musty old pages I found acid tan- nin. I learned that it was the active in- gredient in oak bark and other bark that has found use in the tanyard in the preparation of leather. And acid tannin used to be consid- ered a great mouth wash for babies. It in so efficient and cheap that it has gone out of style.—J. I. Blair in Kansas City Star. Last call for fuzzy hats! MATERIAL RHAPSODY. HE coal in the cellar is not in itself A very great matter, nor reason for rhyme, But to know it is there is a mighty fine thing When the year gets around to its mellowing time— When the skies that were bright are turned drearily gray. And the temper of Winter is felt in the air, While the rain is unweary the long Autumn day— Just to know it is there. OR coal as a fuel few poets have sung, And no one has reckoned it more than a din, But nevertheless there is something superb In having a lot of it safe in the bin. When the cricket is hushed, and the wild flowers die, While the wild geese intone their alarms in the sky, Just to know it is there. HE cellar itself is not much of a place, Nor would it alone ravish anyone’s soul, But it still has a quality quite undenied, And palpably felt, while containing the coal. When the shadow of Autumn is filling the glen, And the world is fast mellowing everywhere, The coal is a wonderful comforter then, Just to know it is there. gloomy that one time was fair, POETS YOU MAY WANT TO KILL. -_-_----— On Lipan, Texas.

FERGUS-FERGUSON, whose ‘ge a in the leadersh of the New | York society has recently been regained, began her career among the Four Hundred with an ambition to estab- lish a social-artistic-political salon like that of Mme. Adam in Paris, She is now 38 years of age, with a hus- band of 50 who has made some noise in Wall street, but whose life at their home in lower Fifth avenue is quiet to.the verge of self-effacement. He has hig millions and me has hers. The daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Fer- gus-Ferguson is 18 years old. Her name is Felicia and she is distinctly beautiful in the half-blonde, half- brunette American way. She likes to dance, to ride horseback and to read g00d novels. She has a clever mind ang a tender heart and is very much in love with Francis Copley, 12 years her senior. Copley is a third or fourth cousin of re. Fergus-Ferguson. The exact relationship is immaterial. The im- ortant fact is that it has estab- ished him on terms of friendly inti- macy with the family, without itmpos- ing the restraints of a close relation- ship, When he first told Mrs. Fergus- Ferguson some months ago of his love for her daughter, the matron looked discouraged. ‘Rut, my dear Francis,” said she finally, “you have never done any- thing but lead cotillons—and say things.” She did not, however, utter the definite no, and Felicia found great encouragement in this when Fran- cis, the next time he chanced to find her alone, told her of his conversa- tion with her mother. But he was not go confident. “Tt don't see, for the life of me,” he said dubiously, “what I can find to do Es great enough to fit the sit- uation. I haven’t the heroic nature, you know.” Felicia stole her soft white hand into his, “You can love me, can't you?” she asked with her sweet di- rectness, “Always,” he answered fervently. “T am sure,” she said smiling, but with a quaver in her voice and a mist in her eyes, “that that will be quite sufficient.” There was silence for a. moment and then she said in a more ordinary tone. ° “You know, Francis, that mamma is not quite herself of late. She is naturally too proud to say anything about it, even to me, and perhaps J] ought not .to talk to you, but” “You needn't explain,” he tactfully interposed. “I know. It’s Mrs. Gordon McKenzie.”’ “Yes,” she admitted. “If you could only find some way to help her— mamma, I mean.” At this point they were interrupted in their tete-a-tete, but he under- stood all that she wished to say. The fact was that the sway of Mrs. Fergus-Ferguson as the leader of the Four Hundred, which had continued uninterrupted for more than a decade, had been seriously threatened, if not temporarily usurped.. Mrs. Gordon McKenzie had been in the metropolis scarcely more than a year. She had come from Texas. Mr. McKenzie, who came with her, was three kinds of a king—cattle, oil and copper. Mrs. McKenzie was a new type of the new woman. She was assertive, original, inventive, large in mind and frame. There was the magnetism of force in her black eyes. She _ pro- claimed at the beginning her inten- tion to enter New York society, and the announcement was made in a manner which indicated that she did not propose to sue for admission, but to demand it. The novelty of her en- tertainments made society talk—and talk much, ‘ It was at this critical juncture in the society life of the metropolis, and sev- eral days after Copley had asked Mrs. Fergus-Ferguson for the hand of her G@aughter, that a man about 40 years of age, tall, thin and stooping, with a long ray beard and eyes that flashed out rom under bristling eyebrows, climbed the stone steps of the Fergus-Ferguson mansion and rang the door bell. “Could I see Mr. Fergus-Ferguson?”’ he inquired, with a very slight German accept as the butler opened the door. r. Fergus-Ferguson is not at home; he is at his office in Wall street,” said the butler. . “Yers?’’ replied the visitor. “But I vas at his office and they said he vas not there.”’ repeated the tmutler. /¥rancis Copley, in a long coat and high hat,-came leisurely up the st=2ps. -Ferguson,” he said, e butler his card. said Herr von Rosen, biandly; “it is of no use.

Herr von Rosen hesitated. ‘Vell,” hs suid, finally, “it is a utiful new art. That ts all I vill explain about it.” The butler opened the door. He was About to speak when Copley stopped him with a gesture and then turned to Herr von Rosen. “I should be very glad to see you in my apartment at 8 o'clock tonight,’’ he anid, “if it will be convenient for you."’ Hie wrote the address on his card and handed it to the.inventor, who bowsd with unconscious awkwardness. “Yes,”’ he said, “I can call to see you. There vill be no harm in that. Thank you fery much.” Copley walked fn at the door and the discoverer of the new art pasgsd down the steps. * * Those who, a number of weeks later, attended Mrs. Fergus-Ferguson's flow- er party, given the second wesk after Easter, were ushered first into a large, splendidly furnished reception room where they were greeted by the hostess. This room was tastefully but not pro- fusely decorated with flowers in Sou. quets and festoons. From this the —s passed into the violet room, then nto the rose room, next into the orchid room and finally into a room over the entrance door of which, In large letters of white roses set in a frame of green, were the words: : The Hall of the Fragranoss. : at home,” roses or as the case might be, and into the fabric of carpet and hangings the appropriate floral designs had been worked with a marvellously natural effect. The Hall of the Fragrances was, how- ever, the triumph and the mystery of Mrs. Fergus-l'erguson’s flower party. It was a large, square room with vault- ed ceilings. Thers were no floral decorations and yet the room was heavy with perfumes which changed in quality with remark- able rapidity.. At one end of the room was a dais on which a man about 40 years of age, with a long gray beard, sat in front of what appeared to be a massive pipe organ. His fingers passed over the keys as though he were play- ing, and now and then he pulled out a stop or pushed one in, but no sound came from the instrument. Those who watched this performance were at first inclined to laugh at it, but Strangely enough they forgot to do so before the purpose had been fulfilled. They even forgot to talk. The room was almost as still as though it were unoc- cupied. The night noises of the street were distinctly audible. The old man at the organ played on and on his noiseless tune. New guests came, ‘smiled faintly, wondered, sat down and wers serene. At last, long af- ter midnight, the organist rose from his instrument and bowed, a rush of cold, invigorating air filled the room and the guests of rs. Fergus-Ferguson took long, deep breaths, rubbed their hands across their foreheads and look2d in u half dazed and newly-awakened way at their surroundings and each other. As the mental mists cleared away there was a rush—for society forgot its propriety—toward Mrs. Fergus-Fergu- son, who was standing near the door of egress. She smiled, she was gracious, she was very glad, she said, that her guests had passed their evening pleasantivy—but as for ths secret of the entertainment, she could not possibly reveal it. It was simply the New Art, she as- serted, and Herr von Rosen,- who had presided at the noiseless organ, was the discoverer and had requested that th: process be not disclosed. Under these circumstances her lips were sealed. The fermal plea of the msre acquaintance and the more intimate appeal of the friend were alike in vain—Mrs. Fergus- lerguson would not tell. To this day, and it is nearly a month since Mrs. Fergus-Ferguson gave her flower party, the secret of the New Art, notwithstanding the great sensation which it has caused and the wonderful efforts at elucidation by the newspa- pers, has not been revealed. But today a grizzled typesetter in a William strset printing house is pounding out on his linotype machine for the Scientific Rec- ord, a monthly publication, an article in which he is not particularly interested but which, in a few days, will be re- printed in every quarter of the civil- ized globe. The article is by Herr von Rosen, and the title in one line of mod- est scientific type, is “The New Art of the Fragrances.’”’ As the typssetter bends to his task and the lines fall in bright metal from the mold they are (for we may as well begin at this very moment of his work and leave out the introduction which he has already put in type) as follows: “« « . @8 demonstrated at Mrs. F‘srgus-Ferguson’s flower party in April. There the experiment was con- ducted upon nearly 300 persons and was a remarkable success. The response to the influence was immediate and last2d the entire time that the flow of the various perfumes was continued—a period of mors than three hours. “The effect may possibly b3 com- pared to that which would be produced upon sensitive and refined persons who had never heard of the art of music, if they were suddenly permitted to en- joy its exquisite delights. There have been reports that the guests were cast under some spl] similar to that of hyp- notism, but such is not the case. That they were entranced is true; but it was by a natural process, and there were no after effects, either m=2ntal or physical, to indicate that the influence was other. wise than healthful. “Only 380 fragrances were used and they were forced into ths room through pipes in the side of the wall, the aper- tures being carefully concealed. Pipes on the other side of the room furnished an egress for the perfumes and estab- lished a steady current. The fra- Srances were manipulated by myself through the msadium of an instrument which somewhat resembled a pipe organ in appearance and construction. ‘The whole result has been, I believe, to demonstrate absolutsly that what music is to the human heart and sou! through the ear, perfumes may become through the sense of smell.” * od * * * * .

For after all what is this notion that one of the two associates in marriage should have dominion over the other save the ideal of benevo- lent despotism. Incidentally, let’s agree that “the husband's authority should be unquestioned’’—for that’s the safest thing to say about almost any form of authority. Question it, analyze it, measure it by the rule of reason and it falls apart. Let us read some of the letters from reactionary readers whose views suggest a certain regret for the good old Roman days when the husband was legally the lord of life and death in his household. Here is another communication from L. D. N., who advised American men that the ideal wife cannot be found in this country and that the man who seeks her will have to prosecute the quest in Europe: Foreign Girls Improve. “Dear Madame—lI like the American woman’s appearance. Her critics not- withstanding, I think she has nicer teeth, nicer hair, a nicer figure and nicer clothes than women anywhere have ever had before. But these are super- ficialities, anda clever girl from Europe will be her equal in.those respects (ex- cept the hair, if she is a nice girl) in less than a year after landing. In things more valuable and enduring, womanly modesty and simplicity, good breeding, loyalty, unselfishness, finish in education, general polish, greeable manners and a lack of bumptiousness, the European girl of any country is superior. You can't interest me in a gir! that isn’t a lady—I care little about her oecupation—and that is where the Amer- ican girl fails. You don’t hear men on the other side saying the equivalent of ‘The American woman is a born grafter.’ “Frankly, I think that both women and children are allowed too much lib- erty and independence here, and I seem to see that the men are waking to the fact. One result of it you see in the children’s lack of respect to their el- ders. Woman's natural state is depend- ency; man is not made stronger and ubler for nothing. The grotesque ab- surdities to which woman goes in dress would be equaled by her eccentricities in. mind and morals without man’s re- straining hand. It is noteworthy that here a woman has most liberty, home ties are weakér, divorce is commoner. morals are more dissolute, though she has everything to lose by these things. There are too many women here of the type that ‘want the earth.’ It is a type that I detest, and it is a perpetual won- der to me that the American man toler- ates it. a x R” Of course, if “woman's natural state in dependency,”’ she must be @n excep- tion to the laws and purposes of Na- ture which makes the female of ail other species entirely independent of the male. “Man is not made stronger for nothing,” is the terse dictum of the advocate of male supremacy. But in the jungle where there is “Woman's Natural State Is Dependency—Man Is Not Made Stronger for Nothing,” Writes “L. D. N.”— First Catch Your Husband and Make Him Ideal After Marriage, Recommends “A Matter of Fact Man.” By NIXOLA GREELEY-SMITH. There is one phase of this discussion of the model mate which I ap- proach with fear and trembling, but which is thrust upon me by the num- ber of readers who make it the center of gravity of their arguments. This phase deals with the question of hardship in the home. The consensus of masculine opinion seems to be that the ideal husband is a queer combina- tion of czar and cherub—a figure not without patriarchal sternness to be obeyed like a czar but cherished and coddled like a cherub. “The ideal husband must rule his home. No woman respects a man who cannot make her The husband’s authority should be unques- HUMBLY id TiTION You SIRE POR A New HAT > There must be no question of no interference with the laws of Na- ture and where, generally speaking, the male shows, though in lesser degree, the superiority of size and strength which prevails in the hu- man race, nobody sits up at night worrying about masculine dominion, feminine dependence, etc., because they don’t exist. Here is a communication from an- other man, who says the ideal husband should be the “boss,” and another let- ter from a young man who says that “any husband is an ideal husband:’’ Make a ‘Husbana to Suit You. Dear Madam: There is a quotation which reads, “All men are liars from the cradle to the grave; woman is more, she’s an actress.’’ Admitting this statement to be correct, are we not on bedrock as far as men are concerned? Why, then, do women hold such high ideals for her husband to be? Can and does he not disillusionize his wife short- ly after laarriage? Why, then, not do without the ideal, and after getting the man create her ideal from the clay which has fallen to her lot? Is it not better for her to work on that which she has than that which she cannot ob- tain because of these ideals? How many of us have fallen in love with an agel (?) only to find after the awaken- ing we worshipped an ideal, not a re- ality? Can we not use a little business sense and examine closely as to the fit- ness of beings before we lost our hearts and heads? As Shakspeare has said, “Love is blind, and lovers do not see the pretty follies they themselves commit.” Is this not applicable to that class who “look and see not,” “hear and listen not,’’ but merely fall in love? Do we have many cases of where a woman has reformed a man? No, because each nousehold must have one boss, and when a woman begins to dictate to a man as to what he must and must not du, rather than admit she is the boss he moves along in his regular groove. We could not exist witnout ideals, but do not put ideals before a man before marriage; he will appreciate them most if held before him in an inoffensive way after marriage. A MATTER OF FACT MAN.

When Many Counts, AYS old Aesop: “Once upon a time there was a miser who used ing to hide his gold under a tree in his garden. Every week he used to dig it up and gloat over his gains. A robber who noticed this came along, dug up the gold and decamped with it. “When the miser next came to gloat ever his treasures he found nothing but an empty hole. He tore his hair and raised such an outcry that all the neigh- bors came around him, and he told them how he used to come and visit his gold. *“‘*Did you ever take any of it out?’ asked one of them. “*Nay, said he; ‘I only came to look at it.’ “*Then come again and look at the hole,’ said the neighbor; ‘it will do you just as much good,’” From which this moral is drawn: “Wealth unused might as well not exist.’’ Gince upon a time there was a family. There were sisters and brothers and father and mother. It was a well regu- lated family. They were being brought up quite In the way they should go, as is the case with all well-regulated fami- lies. They were given the everyday school education, taught the value of work, self-reliance and all that goes with it. For the father belonged to the “old school.”’ In fact, he was an old gradu- ate of the institution and had never quit tuking a post-graduate course. True, he had accumulated money, but with it a knowledge of how to KEEP it, Which is a very good thing to know— for a time at least. But this man want- ed it kept for ALL time. There it lay, not under a tree, but in banks and deposit vaults. For wasn’t it his ‘‘tto have and to hold until death did him part’’—from it? For, in truth, he was MARRIED to !t—nor would he be divorced from it even unto the third and fourth generation. Selah! One day his eldest son came to him saying: “Father, I have been working ‘hard upon an idea. I am quite certain I am rght about it. I have a-chance to MAKE GOOD. But I need just a little help. It will take a little money. Will you give it to me?’’ “Money is it you want? Help is it you reed? How is it come that I had no help? What was good enough for me ought to be good enough for YOU. Work for it yourself as I did. Get your own start. I hadn't any.” For you see he belonged that that very old school, and he continued on the theory that things were just the SAME as when he began. But you and I know they are not. That sometimes a little aviation push sends things soaring sky- ward. His daughter came to him. “Father, I have an opportunity to do a great deal of good. I want a little more skilled training to compete with things as they are now. A TIittle —_—_____o TY CASTORIA For Infants and Children. Ihe Kind You Have Always Bought MONEY would do it. It would take a year or two for me to MAKE it. If you would LEND it to me I would SAVE so much time in the long run. Won't you help me?” she pleaded. He repeated the same argument that be had advanced to the son. pas The children then. went to STRAN- GERS for the bit of assistance that they needed. But these turned deaf ears, faying: “If your OWN don't believe in you how can you expect it of US?’ So they were HANDICAPPED by the very POWER that should have sus- tained them. So, disappointed, they waited in the natural course of events—for DEAD MAN’S SHOES. The money that might have, at the right moment, DEVEL- OPED the best that was within them was WITHHELD by the hand who had been responsible for their being. The end came and the FIGHT began, as is also in the natural course of events. The money that might have MADB money was sparingly and not without a struggle divided. It was TOO LATE to do much with it. The EARLY, AMBITIOUS years had flown with Father Time. It had remained UNUSED, and brought in the end but SCANT worth.

Moral: IF YOU HAVE GIVE, GIVE IT BEFORE AND YOU MAY EVEN | A FLCYWER TO foU DIE, ET THE His methods of doing business were strictly impartial. He strongly objected to one customer having an advantage over another. In accordance with his peculiar sense of justice, therefore, his stable rules were such that when a man came to hire a horse he was obliged to take the nearest one to the door, and naturaliy the style of animal he got de- pended entirely on chance. This un- usual procedure attracted attention, s0 that when a man was obliged to accept something when he should have had his selection, he would say it was ‘“Hob- son's choice.” ° ‘“‘Unele.”’ The familiar slang term “uncle,” ap- plied to a pawnbroker, !s nothing but @ poor pun on the Latin word “‘uncus,” a hook. Pawnbrokers use the hook to lift pawned articles to the upper shelves. ‘‘Let Her Go, Gallagher.”’ Judge Beaver of Morgan County, Ky., had a trotting mare of whom he was very proud. The animal was always driven at the race meets by a man named Gallagher, who was at that time City Marshal of Harrodsburg. On one occasion the Judge entered his mare at a trotting meeting in Tipton County. Some sports there, knowing of the Judge’s pride in the animal, thought they would lower his colors for once, so they entered against her a noted fast trotter. At the end of the first half mile the two trotters passed under the wire neck and neck at 2:40 pace, and the Judge grew wildly excited. ‘“Leti of the crowd. came to mean being in the lengths ahead, amid the wild- che ine nay .o & — ey any ee Out in San Francisco 3 yea there was a notorious ct Muldoon, who was the leader Of @ gm of young ruffians.

Are You The Courage of Being Natura * ~. aa # Self-Consci % * RE you self-conscious? Do you fee] ill at ease when in the presence of strangers, and do you want to huddle up in a corner when there are people pres- ent? In every family there is usually some member possessed of this su- perlative degree of self-consciousness; so much so that very often it as- sumes the degree of humility. A girl, for instance, when-asked to make a call protests: “I don’t think Mrs. A, wants to see me.” And 80 when she does go she is “out of things,” or rather a “wet blanket” from the angle of the hostess, I know of one girl who is so pain- fully conscious of her plainness that she is a living apology for her ex- istence. Even when she gets a pretty dress she hag the fear that people will be “laughing” at her for her trouble to look attractive. In this way many a seemingly re- tiring soul who is forever on the lookout for neglect probably finds: it in trifling actions which were never intended so, Time without number the talented one, for example, makes a very poor showing in company, though she is very delightful at home. Every one is glad when her display of talent, such as performing on the plano, is over, though in reality they would enjoy her performance but for her seeming state of nervousness. Much of this ig largely due to an in- nate vanity—an overwhelming fear of public opinion and the risking of failure. Because of this there is many a delight- ful personality left to blush unseen and waste its sweetness in solitude at home. Yet this may be overcome by the indi- vidual. Instead of being constantly pitched in the key of nervousness and self-pity, move, live and have your betng in the constant pleasing key of B natural. It never fails. The real recipe for this is in just being interested yourself in what you are doing. The rest fol- lows. Thus, when you are enjoying that which you are doing yourself you ap- pear so to others, and as a consequence you interest them. Sincerity is the keynote of it all. For sincerity is never “laughable,’’ and you run no chance of being laughed at. Good intentions are always recognized, and there can be no tear of blame. In real- ity it always results in praise.

JUST A TOSS-UP. HILE selecting your next world’s champions, Bo, why not wait un- til after it's all over, and be certain about it. As matters now stand, the is- sue is almost as much one of chance as of skill, and naming the winner is up to your prowess as a clairvoyant, rather than as an analyst. In addition to the -many normal chances that enter into a_ series of games between two first-class teams, chances which frequently tend to stand “form” on its ear, another element of fortune enters into the contest—the toss of the coin to determine the scene of the first quarrel. Garry Herrmann has said that this year the games would not alternate between the cities, but that two successive games would be decided in each park. Thus the edge that goes to the home club may enable the tgam that wins the toss to get a two-vic%ory start on its rival. In a world’s series this is gen- erally believed to be a lead that can’t be overcome. In fact, many think the club that wins the first battle has a big edge on its rival. So there you are.

Roger’s Batting Helps Cards to Tie Phil Series 21.—The Car-

PHILADELPHIA, Sept. dinals departed from this city last night, u couple of hours after finishing the Couble-header with the Phillies. They left for New York and will wind up their season’s work in the East with the Brooklyn series. During their stay in this eity the Cardinals didn’t take in enough money to pay their hotel bills and other ex- penses. They drew only four hundred spectators here on Wednesday and about 2000 fams turned out to see the bargain matinee yesterday, although the weather was ideal for outdoor sports. Manager Bresnahan intends to send in his veteran players when the Cardinals play the Browns in the fall series. Roger stated yesterday that as soon as his team returned home he intended to put his regulars back in the game. Teams Break Even, The season’s series between the Phillies and the Cardinals wound up in an even break, each team getting 11 victories. Bresnahan did great stick work in the first game yesterday, his batting average being 1.000 in four times up. Roger got a home run, a double, a single and a base on balls.

% FOOTBALL STARS FAIL TO REPORT TOCOACH DENNE Ratican, Maguire, Sieh and Mc- Carthy Still Missing From Squad.

By W. J. O’CONNOR A‘ ray of hope pierced the gloom at St. Louis U. and despite a heavy campus Friday afternoon the Billiken band of kickers unreel2d the best prac- Percy Car- rain tice picture of ths season. roll, the diminutive quarterback, put in appearance and for the first time Coach Dennie was able to muster an entire team and hold a long signal practice. Paul Kistner also return2d to the field, after an absence of one day, rounding out a full complement of backs—Kist- ner, Eddie Stadtherr and Arthur Zach- ritz. Carl Powell, who reported Thurs- day, went to center, flanked by Max Rombert and Manager Maffitt Bates. Capt. Tony Stadtherr and Crawford held down the tackle jobs. Richards, Cook, Grimmer and E. Romberg were used at the wing positions. Fourteen men, in all, reported. Sieh and McCarthy are expected to be ready for work Monday, while the squad should further be strengthened by the presence of Kilpatrick and _ probably Schloemmer, who showed at guard last year. Two Stars Missing. No word has been received from either Harry Ratican or Johnny Maguire. Both have promised repeatedly to report, but their promises have not as yet been fulfilled. Ratican’s case is puzzling Coach Dennie. Harry pleaded that he wag not in shape, aft- er the Western track meet, when asked: to re- port Monday. Tf Dennte is to turn out a team which will suecessfuliy cope with Notre Dame, Holy Cross et. al. he will have to improve on some of the men now on the squad. His line is wabbly, while his backfield is too light. Then without Maguire the team is sorely in need of a kicker. Friends of Eddie Cochems, the well-known football tutor, have just learned that the dy- namic individual has quit the gridiron and cast his fortunes with the Bull Moose party. “Coke’’ is tearing off big gains in an ora- torical way down in New York. His broth- er, Henry, once the strong man of Harvard. is handling the Western campaign of T. R. And if the exalted Bull Moose should win. just wait and see if Cochems doesn’t make football compulsory for every public school pupil. St. Louis will not have many starry rep- resentatives on foreign football fields this year. Since John P. Dalton quit the Navy indeed the Mound City is sorely neglected. Brookes Spencer was the last local man to earn his letter at Yale.

L. C. DAVIS. THEIR SPARK GAVE OUT. A number of Connie Mack’s players purchased automobiles with the proceeds of the world’s series and Connie Mack attributes their failure to win this year’s pennant to too much joy riding. —News Item. The champion Athletics have failed to repeat, Sc now they must find some excuse for defeat; The cause of their grief is more fancied than real— lay all the blame on the auto- mobile. They They won the world’s series two years in a row, And all of the players were rolling in dough; And now that they’re beaten and down at the heel, They lay all the blame on the automo- bile. The truth of it is they were weak in the box, And couldn’t keep up with the speedy Red Sox. To fair minded people it doesn’t appeal To lay all the blame on the automo- bile. So now that the pennant they'll float, They find it incumbent to dig up a goat. The goat was discovered right off of the reel, And what should it be but the automo- bile. no longer Last year Connie Mack caught what he thought was a Salmon, but it after- wards proved to be a Crappie. Let us hope his Crabb doesn’t turn out to be a lobster. Red Sox ne ee Must Give Odds of 10 to 72 Giant Supporters Say NEW YORK, Sept. 21.—Baseball fol- lowers, judging from the wagers that have been made in the financfal district on the approaching world’s series, favor the Red Sox to defeat the Giants. It was reported today there is little Giant money to be had in the Wall street section. Odds of 10 to 9 on Boston to beat the Giants were recorded today. Several small wagers at 10 to 8 that Boston would win from New York have been made. A prominent commissioner stated that he thought the Boston con- tingent would have to offer 10 to 7% to bring out the Giant money. ,™ . 4

“|Unknown to Fight World ‘a Year Ago, ———— In the Few Months He Has Been in the Game the Ok- lahoma Boxer Has Won Every Fight Except Two, Which Were Draws With Ferns.

By JOHN E. WRAY N\A] HO is this Art Magirl?’’ That’s the question fly- ing the local rounds where pugilism is fanned and threshed. An- swers are few, and not correct, erally.

gen- A year ago you could have screamed the question from the house- tops of any State in the Union and only in Oklahoma would you have been answered. The announcement, recently made, that Magirl would substitute for Ray Bronson in the feature bout of the St. Louis A. C., Sept. 24, is causing the present interest in ‘‘Art.’’ If you want a loud and complete an- swer to the question first propounded, drift down to Springfield, Mo., or to Bartlesville, Tulsa or Dewey, Ok. There you'll be informed of the six different varieties of mutt you must be for not knowing that Art Magirl is the sea- son’s sensation in the fight world and the coming champion of the world at his weight. That’s an Oklahoma view. Also it’s the view of one of the best referees in the Southwest, Jimmy Bros- non, who saw him put it over Joe Gor- man at Springfield. Old Joe was some fighter, too, when in condition. Likewise there’s a suspicion of the same idea being entertained by ‘“‘Wild- cat” Ferns, who twice in the last three months has fought Magirl. While not entirely tame thereafter, the wildcat was badly messed about. Magirl in Training Here. Art Magirl is in St. Louis now. if you want a personal impression of him, you can lamp the gentleman any afternoon at the Business Men’s Gymnasium, where he’s preparing for his bout with Brewer. There you'll see a rugged lad of 22 (he says) with the chest of a middleweight and the legs of a welter, whose wiry neck uplifts a raw-boned face, notable for a jaw of determina- tion, good-humored eyes and a close- lipped mouth. Magirl trifles too much in his workouts to Now Ranks With Leaders Art Magirl

give any idea of what skill or power he may have as a boxer. But his record speaks for itself. : One of the principal reasons why the name Magirl excites so slightly the bragm eels of memory is that it is less than a year since its owner began fighting. he says. Prior to that time he was a ‘‘bush’’ wrestler, and in the two or three years he campaigned at this game he traveled all over the country. He has lacking in the legs to make a top- notcher at this game. so, with the little knowledge of sparring that he had picked up here and there, he decided to give the box- ing game a whirl, A Meteoric Advance, Within 10 months from that time Magirl has come to the front. His rise to notoriety was quicker than that of Mike Gibbons, who had all the benefit of a great battery of metropolitan newspapers to boost him, where Magirl had only the press of the provinces behind him. Mike. too, had been battling several years before fame overtook him. Magirl's fame, aside from the fact that he has won every fight but two out of the 20 in which he has taken part rests on his showing against Clarence Ferns, who in these parts was once believed to be the best welter- weight timber in the country. He fought Ferns twice. July 4, at Dewey, Ok., he reached Ferns in the third round and sent him to the floor. He repeated it in the. next round and the gong saved Ferns. It was claimed at the time that the timekeeper rang the gong 25 seconds too soon. Ferns was groggy in the fifth. but came back. however, and earned a draw by sparring instead of mixing. They met again Sept. 12, at Tulsa. and again Ferns was unable to solve. Magirl’s at- tack or defense. Magirl declares he was entitled to the decision in both fights. Magirl is an iron man. He was hit square- ly on the jaw no less than 17 times in the first fight with Ferns. and all the wildcat could ‘wring from him was a laugh. In Line for No Title, Magir! will face Brewer at 145 pounds at 8

o'clock. This is the very best weight he can do. Unfertunately it is a weight at which he cannot hope to aspire to championships, as class limits now stand.

Bresnahan Now Batting Fourth in League List Roger Bresnahan’s batting optic is now wide open and promises to do some important of the Browns’ curves during the fall series. During the week past Bresna- han has mounted to fourth place in the Na- tional League swat list, his average being now .883. Meyers is the only catcher any- scanning thing Ike Roger’s equal in batting, his fig- ure being .337. - Koney has fallen down sadly of late, al- though he still owns the husky average of 819. Huggins is .315, Oakes, .292,. and L. Magee, .289, are the. most encouraging points to be noted in the Cardinals’ batting list. Zimmerman is leading the League, with .876, followed by Sweeney, 800. In the American League Cobb is leading. with .408 average. Speaker has dropped to 889, at which figure he is tied by a Chicago recruit, Borton. Joe Jackson has come to the front with a rush and is now only 2 points behind Speaker. Pratt, .202, is the only Brownlie hitting the ball close to the .300 mark. Shotton, .278, ie next best. The team must improve in thie respect if it hopes to win games for its bunch of good pitchers. Browns May Vacate Cellar. Although practically idie yesterday. the Browns drew nearer to seventh place, thanks to the Naps’ victory over the Yankees. Only a half game separates the St. Louls and New York teams now. A victory for the Browns and a defeat for the Yankees today will see the Stovallized cadets vacate the cellar. Don’t Forget. “Electric Toasters, ‘ special sale price,

Marquard Can’t Hide Delivery From Opponents *"Smatter with Maraquard? Here's Joe Tin- ker’s explanation of the Rube’s sudden ex- plosion: ‘‘Marquard has a weakness which he can’t overcome. He can’t hide his delivery. By that I mean it is possible to tell by the way he holds the bal! whether he intends to use a curve or a fast ball. I told Me- Graw about that before the world’s series last year. but Mack sald it didn’t matter. However, it did. The Rube got ‘his,’ and he'll get {ft again.” Important, if true. Secretary McRoy of the Red Sox. who is busy preparing for the advance sale of world’s series tickets. has announced that about 15,000 seats will be reserved. Inci- dentally McRoy has decreed that no tickets will be shipped through the mails. You've got to call for them in person, One-Round Fogel and Battling Dooin, the wee lightweights, have renewed their long- standing Scrap. Fogel recently announced that he would like to sign Harry Davis. the deposed manager of the Naps, up as manager.

BROWNS WILL TRY TO | STAGE TODAY’S BATTLE | ESPITE yesterday’s postpone- ment, the Browns and. Ath- letics will play only one game at Sportsman’s Park this afternoon, weather permitting. The same teams will put on a double-header Sunday, starting at 2 o'clock, As Pitcher George Baumgardner and Roy Crabb worked only one in- ning each yesterday, itis probable these same hurlers will perform ins tedag’e game. Mack Allison and “Shorty” Wellman are elated for duty Sunday. The management annougcees today’s game will be played unless it rains at starting time. By CLARENCE F. LLOYD. In addition to the ten athletes drafted but turned back, Manager Stovall yes- terday handed releases to Catcher Char- ley Snell and Infielder Gus Smoyer. Not counting Stovall himself as a play- er, the twelve releases put the Browns

lowed by the National Commission, al- though other releases are to follow. . The drafted players not wanted, will be returned to the clubs from which they were grabbed. They are still open to draft and may be picked up by other clubs, not up to the limit. Snell, who caught several games on the Browns’ recent trip, has been turned over to the Montgomery (Southern League) club. He gives much promise of developing into a big leaguer and will be yanked back if his work In the South warrants another trial. Smoyer is free to sign with whatever club he chooses. With ten players on the in- field Mst, Stovall had no room for Smoyer. Mack Will Have to Harry. Connie Mack is undoubtedly disap- pointed over the failure of his Athletics to repeat their triumphs of 1910 and 1911, especially after nine out of every ten critics in the country had picked the White Elephants to have things pretty much their own way for sev- eral seasons to come. But two championship successes proved too much for some of his athletes, Chief Bender, Harry Morgan and Reuben Oldring, espe- citlly. and next month the Elephants will be forced to bow to some other team as mon- archs of the diamond. Mack's team may finish second this sea- son, but the indications are that he will have to do some of his famed magic ma- nipulating of players to figure as a contend- er next year. It is said that Mack has ad- mitted on different occasions that he'll have to dig up some pitching stars somewhere tt he hopes to pull a “eome back.’ Walter Holke. the St. Louls boy. who per- formed at first base this season for Charley Stis’ Peoria team. has joined the big bunch of local boys who were in the minors and have just returned. This was Holke’s first season in organized ball. Stis picked him up while he was playing with the Alpen Braus and made him one of the stare of the Three I League. Holke is still @ youngster. but he has the size and ambition to succeed. He should not be discouraged over having to spend another season or two in the ‘minors. He's due to make cood later. Bill Dinmeesn a Martinet, That Umpire Bill Dinneen bad on his war paint yesterday was evident from the fact that he banished Mack Allison from the coaching line in the first inning. Allison and Stovall were on the lines and claimed that Pitcher Crabb was twirling Nlegxaliy: They protested to Dinneen. but the best that Allison got was his walking papers. and Stovall a warning that he, too. would be ordered off the field if he continued to say anything.

THE JARR Poor Mr. Jarr Has Rested So Long That He Is Far Too Tired to Work. lL ‘em up a the office and tell ‘em I’m sick,” said Mr. Jarr, turning right around and ing back in again the other morn- of wa “But you are net sick,” replied Mrs. Jarr.. “t'm aick of working,” grambied Mr. Juce. “Yes, I know what you are going to saythat I'm just a week back from my vaeation, Well, that's the answer. i seed a rest; I want some recreation. i] telt you, it will take a lot of rest to x t me over the fatigue ef two weeks ¢ewn on the farm with Uncle Henry.” “L’'ve got to clean up this house.

So, but much against her conscience, Mrs. Jarr telephoned down to the office that Mr. Jarr had grave symptoms of appendicitis, nervous breakdown, brain fever and general collapse. “Now, I hope you're satisfied,” said as she hung up the receiver. “I’m more than satisfied,” retorted Mr. Jarr. “If those were human beings you were talking to downtown, instead of an aggregation of iron hearts who would only grieve at my demise because it would cost ‘em § cents apiece for flowers, they'd be up here in a body to extend their sympathy and financial aid, and bring seven eminent specialists and four trained nurses. “However, being who they are—close friends and business associates—they are wondering at this moment_ who'll get my desk if I die, and how much life insurance I'll leave you, and, if I do leave you any what the chances wil! be to get a fat commission from some swindle promoter they'll sick on you to sell you some fresh printed stock at par.” ; “I’m sure you must have great confi- dence in the affection your associates of many years have for you, and the she By Roy L.

And I want to leave directions about the children when they come back from school, and call up Mrs. Rangle on the telephone to tell her’—— “Can the chatter!"’ cried Mr. Jarr im- patiently. “‘Are we going to have a day off or stay around the house and in- dulge in polite conversation” “Any conversation you indtlge in won't be very polite,” ventured .Mrs. Jarr, “and you'll have to wait till I'm ready. You should have let me know you intended to stay home today so I could have had things arranged for it! | You.must think I've nothing else to do but attend to your sudden whims! It's all very well for you to take a day off from your work by pretending you are ill! But I could be so sick I'd be ready to drop and yet I couldn't lie down even for a minute! I never slept a wink all last night, the way I ached in every bone of my body, but I'm sure you don’t care! If it were not for my will whisper the, rest to me while we are scaling the Palisades.”’ ‘Much sympathy I get from you!”’ said Mrs. Jarr bitterly. “Now you are going to twit me because I ventured to tell you that I am not feeling well! I would have liked a stroll in the woods, too!"’ “Well, why don’t we go to it, then?’ | asked Mr. Jarr. “‘Why dally here when “we might be on eur way?” “Because I'm not going now,” replied Mrs. Jarr. ‘‘You need not have been so ely, however. You could have said, ‘I am going somewhere and I do not want you to go along.’ You, might have been frank. But to pretend you want me to go along and then to pick a quarrel with me because you see I am foolish enough to believe you want me to go! Oh, dear! Oh, dear!” And Mrs. Jarr burst Into tears. But, just to show you how persistent that man ifs, he would not leave that poor woman alone until he made her come along with him. However, she showed him she wouldn't be rushed and hurried just: to suit his sudden whims, and while she did go she made up her miri@ not to speak one word to him the whole time, not a word!

Regular Stairs. LAWYER was cross-examining an old German about the position of the doors, windows and so ferth, in a house in which a certain transaction occurred. r “And now, my good man,” said the lawyer, “will you be good enougi to teli the Court how the stairs run in the house?’’ The German looked dazed and unset- tled for a moment. ‘How do the stairs run up.”’ ‘“*Yes,«<how do the stairs run?’ “Vell,” continued the witness, after a moment’s thought, ‘‘ven I am downstairs dey run oop.’’—National Monthly. ~ A Fee Simple. RS. PANKHURST, the suffragette, surprised some of her friends a short while ago when she related this little incident: “A lady had sued a railroad for $40,000 damages and secured a verdict and was paid the full amount Subject to her order. Her attorney didn't get a penny.’ “Why, that seems incredulous,’ one of the party said. “How did it happen?" “She found a way to outwit him.” “What did she do?” “She married the lawyer.’’.—
