THE HAWORTHS' BABY.
C0th0riae's Visit, Which Led to q
Strange Adventure.

Miss Mobiles reached the station in
ample time. With a deliberation which
pleased her she selected q seat In the
rear car OF the morning train on the
shady side. She was on her way to visit
Mamie Grant. her intimate friend and
former schoolmate. who lived In the me-
tropolis at the other end OF the State.
Miss Mobiles, however. was more self
reliant than self-efficient. hence she
had disdained an escort; hence. too. she
had ensconced herself on the wrong

.BOLO HUNTER IN The PARK.
With Gun and Spurs He Goes in
Search Of Adventure.
Tho boy Had Been to o Show and
Saw Indians and Cowboys.

While Park Policeman connell was
side of Central Park, near One Hundred
and Third street. at 6.l0 o'clock this
morning he saw Charles Hammel, four
teen years old. of Sll Columbus avenue,
looking UP into the tallest trees OF that
locality. When Hammel saw the police
man he lodged behind some shrubbery
as IL to avoid him.
The policeman called to the lad to
stop and arrested him. The boy car
ried on his right shoulder an air-gun
and tightly strapped to his legs were
pair of linemen's spurs. In his pock-
cts were several boxes full OF buckshot.
He explained to the policeman that he
got the spurs from his brothers cleo
trical store. The rifle, he said. was his
own. and he was simply looking for
birds. He said the rifle would not carry
the shot into the trees with sufficient
force to kill the birds; SO he provided
himself with spurs In order to climb
the trees.
Policeman Connell learned that young
Hammel had been to see a Wild West
show yesterday, and, stimulated by the
feats Of the Wild West performers, he

CHECK TO THE COAL BARONS.
'The World" Stands Between Them
and Coal Consumers.

Just as long as the coal combine arbi-
trarily fxes the retail price Of fuel at a
figure that Is exorbitant THE World
will continue its sale of household sizes
at $3.50 per ton. That price yields no
profit to THE World because of the
long distance 1t has to be hauled and
equipped with all the appliances. But
$3.50 per ton would leave an ample profit
for the established dealer, as any one
can readily see.
Men in any line of trade do not sell
their goods to any customer ait loss,
and whenever the combine decides to
permit competition in the sale of coal
dealers jump at the chance Of delivering
fuel at all'the way from 1915 to "a per
ton. n
It follows as. surely as the night fol-
lows the day that every penny above "a
a ton extorted from the heretofore help
less consumer adds just SO much to the
reasonable, decent profit Of the dealer.
The consumer Is no longer helpless, for
THE World" stands between him and
the barons. II his dealer has not yet
recovered his reason, but still demands

his orders at the New York or Brooklyn
