WARNING Mr.. ..
His Wife Wife Refused to Entertain
Certain Guest at Dinner.

The absolute serenity with which
some people, women especially. shout
private affairs through telephones is to
me quite remarkable. While waiting
for a prescription to be filled in a
North Side drug store the other day a
woman came in. She glanced impa-
tiently at a man who was using the
telephone, then moved restlessly from
the cigar case to the directory stand
over to the perfumes and back to the
cigars again. The man, says the Chi
cago Times Herald, finally finished
sending his message and she darted at
the instrument and rang the bell. There
were three others besides myself in the
store, but she apparently saw nothing
of us.
Such and such a number, Express,
she called for, and then waited, beating
tattoo on the floor every minute. lis
Mr.. B there" Then we all grew
interested, and some of us began to feel
sorry for Mr.. b. you've finally
come, have you?" was the first greet
ing he received. 81 simply tell you |
can't have that man to dinner, and ]
won't" was the next sentence. Mr..
B evidently began to plead for his
intended guest. Il simply say l won't

decided tones. Then she continued:
1--WE been polite to him just as often
as 1 ever shall be. He has been up to
dinner at least four times, and what
return has he made? Not even flow
er-(this scornfully)-or a box of can
dy or theatre ticket or anything else
to show a little appreciation" This
was apparently cut short by question
from Mr. b as to where she was
telephoning from. Il am in SIS
drug store" she said. land l don't
care who hears me. | didn't answer
by messenger because l just knew you
wouldn't pay attention to word l
wrote"
BY this time she certainly had no
reason to complain of her audience at
least on that score. We were all ears
and smiles. There was a seconds
pause, during which she stood with the
receiver pressed close to her pompa-
dour. 'Ill go out, then. Bring him
home if you want to, but / warn you
you'll entertain him with the cold
roast left from last night and warmed
up turnips. l am on my way to Mar
garet's now and won't be back until 10
o'clock tonight"
1t was useless for us to look uncon-
cerned, for she never noticed us, but
flounced out the door and into the car
as it stopped on the corner. | wonder

OisQualifed

While was over in Springfield the
other week." said the Boston grocer
Il was casually introduced to a farmer
from Vermont. AS he was sending
butter, cheese and eggs to the market
in large quantities, l thought it might
be a good thing to do business with
him. He was willing, and we were
getting figures down to our satisfaction
when he suddenly inquired:
John l.. Sullivan. the prize fighter
lives in Boston, don't he?"
"Yes, l believe So
What street does he live on?"
Il can't say"
Haven't you ever met him?'
No"
Don't even know him by sight
eh?"
NO"
"Well, that's funny! You may live
in Boston all right enough, and may be
everything would be all right if | ship
ped stuff to you, but l guess we'll
call the deal off,"
Because l don't know John l.. Sulli-
van?" | queried.
Mostly" he soberly replied. Il rode
200 miles to see him once, and if you
don't care to even go a mile to shake
hands with him, I'm afraid we might
not just hit it off in business" Utica

Banking for School Children

Economic education is claiming each
year the more careful attention Of
learned and philanthropic people.
School banking, the simplest way OF
intoxicating self-denial and thrift, has
full approval wherever instituted, and
as the news goes abroad, its sphere is
broadening. Statistics of the savings
in some of the public schools of the
United States have just been printed.
says the Philadelphia Inquirer, by Mr..
J. H. Thirty, who founded the system.
They show that the school children's
savings deposited in savings institu-
tions through this system have
amounted to $530,319 S. These saw
ings are in $40 schools. and the deposit
tors number 41,S63. There are half as
many more schools using this system,
of which we have no statistical report.
and many others using the Penny
Provident and stamp plan of saving.
All systems and means of the sys-
tematic saving of money for the self
responsible development of the child
and to apply to uses apart from friv-
olous waste are of value, as it is the
principle involved rather than specific
method we aim to instill, the independ-
ence, individuality and equality OF
means that will make thrift general.
But the simple system of school saw
ings, where we credit the pennies di-
rect, and not stamps, is more educative
and helpful, because it gives our boys
and our girls regular banking business
habits, and they carry their accounts
right over into manhood and woman
hood. If every boy and girl who has
graduated or come out of our public
schools for the past ten years had left
school with one or two hundred dollars
of a bank account to his or her credit.
as do our girls and boys to-day, where
they have school savings banks. we
would be much nearer the equality, the
sobriety and the single standard of mo-
rality for which we labor than we now
are. We need to understand how to
handle and appreciate money.

WHAT BECOMES GUN?
Report BY Candidate for Military
Honors of His Examination.

The examining board was in session
In an upstairs room of the armory in
the most warlike region of Brooklyn,
which takes on a military appearance
every weekday evening after the SOL
dlers have come home from work and
nave used their military duty as an
excuse to get out Of drying the tea
thlngs. Downstairs in the assembly
nall, deep in tan bark, was an assorted
group or seasoned military persons who
nad more than once mobilized at the
Bedford avenue fountain and thence
moved IN intrepid columns to the re-
viewing stand at the Prospect park en-
trance. Seasoned campaigners, they
were now awaiting their chance to go
hlSnef Tor their reward. In the group
were priyates who would be made Cor
porals II they could pass the eXamin-
atlon; there were Corporals who hoped
10 snow their fitness for the extra
stripe In the chevrons and attain the
glory or being Sergeants in time to
set on the streets on Decoration Day
ana say in the hearing of all men such
simple things as Comply wowwow-
hip-rah-tion!" in the dialect of the race
of Sergeants.
But none was certain of his fate.
lhere was no telling what sort Of
stunts the examining board would set
them to do. Therefore they focked
eagerly about the first man down and
begged him for a tip on the board. He
was candidate to be made Sergeant
IN light battery and perhaps on that
account his report was not of the
greatest value to those in other arms of
the service.
What did the board ask me?" he
sald. Why, they wanted to know
VINO took charge of the gun in action.
The Chief of Division l said
But If the Chief of Division is not
there"-it made me think of being shot
or at least wounded-then who takes
the gun?
Il knew the answer to that like a
book. It's the Caisson Corporal
And If the Caisson Corporal is put
out of action who then takes charge?
That was easy. It's the best pri-
Vate; he looks after things
Il amt dead sure about that. but I
told them you had to take the gun away
and put 1t in the stable. l won't know
whether that's right until l get home
and look it up in the little book But
that's the sort of questions they're 60
ing to ask you when you get upstairs" +"

A Blanket Inspection.

The difficulty of preventing pecula-
ton in the army reminds me of an
anecdote l have heard my mother tell
of the Duke of Wellington. A friend
of my mother had a contract to supply
blankets for the army. When they
were delivered the Duke desired that
every blanket should be unrolled and
shown to him. When the gentleman
who was as proud of his honor as a
manufactures as any soldier could be
of his honor, demonstrated against
what seemed an aspersion on his in
tegrity, the Duke only said: "It is my
duty to see that the soldiers have prop
er blankets" / do not know the time
or the circumstances beyond the bare
fact as l have heard my mother relate

A tea was given by Mrs. James, wife
of Colonel f. f. James, of liz Greene
street, on Thursday afternoon, to cele-

The tea was thoroughly enjoyed and

gratulations to Mrs. Whitford and OF
wishes for her continued good health.
The guests contained good sprinkling
of ladies of advanced ages, but this in
no way detracted from the pleasure of

Whitford and Mrs. James were assisted
by Mrs. James sister, Miss Whitford,
and by Miss James, daughter of Mrs.
James. The table was pleasantly decor
ated with flowers, which added their

daughters, John M, general manager of
an evening paper in Delaware,
William E., foreman in the government
press rooms at Washington, and George
E., foreman in the government book
bindery, and Miss Whitford who re-
