them think that she was the High

that were Particular. He fiuttered
from Flower to Flower and he did
not have the Heart to tie up with
any one of the Bunch and make her
his Steady because he knew that the
others would pine away or else re-
nounce the World and enter a Con-
vent.
One Reason why Wilbur had such
strong Pull with the Buds was that he
never permitted his Work to inter-
fere with his Social Duties. They could
get him on the Phone at any time
and book him for any kind of a Stunt
from Luncheon to a Golf Tourney.
He kept his Evening Clothes at the
Office and he could respond to Din
ner Invitation like a Fireman going
to a Fire. He never sidestepped a
chance to eat.
One of his prize Specialties was to
play sympathetic Companion to the
Woman whose Husband belongs to a
who make out the Invitation Lists and
that is why Wilbur usually led the
German and distributed the Favours
when the Smart Set pulled off CotiI-
lon.
Although he was on Salary he some
how contrived to hold up his End.
Fortunately, his Board did not cost
him anything and he squared all of
his Society Obligations by making
Party Calls, instead of sending Ameri-
can Beauties.
Inasmush as all of the real Tessies
were more or less crazy about Wilbur
it seemed a lead-pipe Certainty that
he would land an Heiress who would
take him to Palm Beach on a Wedding
Tour and then pay his Tailor Bills for
all time. However, so many were on
his Trail that not one of them had a
chance to monopolize him. Just when
Hortense would get him off into a Cor
ner to tell him that she loved Blue
Eyes, Beryl would come along and be-
gin to stroke his Hair and then Clarice
would come up and pin Violets on him.

to play a Circuit all the Time Wilbur
usually had about AZ Names in his
Date-Book.
He never ran short because when the
June Brides dropped out a new Crop,
fresh from the Boarding Schools, came
in to fill the Vacancies.
Year after Year the Ladies' Idol con-
tinued his heart-breaking Career, not
because he wished to be Cruel but
because he couldn't help being so all
fired Enhancing.
There never was a time when he
could have put a Tag on any Dulcinea
without putting a Blight on the En-
tire Female Community, so he waited.
In fact, he overdid the Waiting Act.
About the time that he outgrew his
Hair and began to look a little puffy
around the Eyes, the Lumty-Tum Elite
caught the Athletic Fever. The Real
Boy in Sassiety was the husky Fellow
who had played on a College Eleven
and who owned String of Polo Po-
MES.
Little Wilbur, the has-been Nudge,
found that he could drift into a Draw
ing Room without causing the faint
est Ripple.
Now that he was becoming Bald and
Shelf-Wor no one cared to use him
as a Pet.
He was lucky if he got few kind
Words from some elderly Patroness.
AS for the Girls who owned a Million
Dollars apiece, they couldn't see him
with a SpyGlass.
They would permit him to go out
and call the Carriage, but that was
about as far as he could go.
So he became that pathetic Figure,
the played-out Beau-the extinct Vol
cano in the Landscape of Gaiety. He
tried to butt in, from Force of Habit,
but he had the Ice-Pitcher handed to
him so often that at last he got wise
to himself and realized that he be-
longed on the Top Shelf.
He did what every Man does, viz.
the best he can. He hooked up with
a Maiden Lady who looked all right
in the Dark and although a Bundle
of Money came with her, he earned all
that he got.

One, seldom makes a Mistake.

an article upon the indiscriminate
slaughter of elk. He was mistaken,
however. All these horns are shed by
the elk in the early spring and are
gathered during the cattle round ups.
In the fall when elk are shot the
horns are fastened firmly to the skull
and unless one expects to have them
separately mounted as trophies he
does not trouble to detach them.
In their mental equipment elk are
like cattle, caribou and reindeer. They
do not possess the instructive cunning
of most members Of the deer tribe. One
will sometimes see a band laboriously
paving the snow for pasture in some
deep covered valley while the SUBMITS
and hogbacks have been blown clear
by the wind. Deer, horses and even
sheep exhibit a keener reasoning in this
respect. Only erratic methods OF
travel and habits Of migration, to-
gether with their tendency to retreat
as far as possible from the outposts
Of cilization, have made the exis-
tence of a large band possible until

not until the expedition was we'll on

main bodies of emigrants who moved
from the camp at winter quarters on
the Missouri river to the valley be-
yond the Rockies. The first party
numbered 14S, including three women
and two children, and made its jour-

ham Young at it's head. Then fol-

There once lived at prominent

call a Half-Portion. That is, he was
a little shy on Weight, but what he

From the Kansas City Star.
The largest herd of wild animals in
the United States. and probably in the
world, is the great band of elk which
winters in the lowlands of Jackson's
Hole district, Wyoming. There are
at this writing estimated to be some
5000 head of elk in the band. The
men who have given this estimate are
WeI-known ranchers and cattle men,
or cowboys and owners of sheep and

TWO OLD CEMETERIES.
Growth of New York Encroaohes or
Graves of Early Inhabitants.

The enterprise of the modern New
Yorker even stirs the dead. With the
onward growth of the citv burvinp
grounds which were once in narts reIa-
lively obscure and remote from the
busy centers of life have been over
taken and surrounded by streets and
houses. Often the spade of the laborcr.
in opening some new thorouehfare or
in eXcaVatinS for some new building
strikes the skull of an ancient inhabi-
tant and distur5s its timeIess sleep.
But in spite of his love of industry
and his proneness to tear down and
reconstruct the New Yorker Of TODAY
has not yet ceased to yenerate the
shades of his predecessors. The dead
which are thus being unoarthed are to
be cared for. No matter if their bones
may have grown so challly that they
fall to powder on being moved: no mat
ter if their departure from the life of
flesh may have been under the shadow
of 4 crime; no matter if the skulls
show by their contour that they once
held the brains of negor slaves; no mat
ter what may have been the creed or
race of these former dwellcrs on MAN.
haitian Island, they are to be honored
at last by resting places, guarded as
far as possible against future molesta-
ton.
1t happens that at the present time
there is an agitation to guard the dead
of two ancient cemeteries on which the
city has encroachcd b. Inc organization
known as the American Scenic and
Historic Preservation Society. One is
the oldest Hebrew cemetery on Man
haitian Island, which, when consecrated
in 1856. was said to be "outside the
city," 1t fronts in the New Bowery,
near Oliver street, and about it's
tower high East Side tene-
ment houses. With its time-worn
slabs the quietude of this little burying
ground is in striking contrast with the
noisy scenes of life which surround it.
Under the auspices of both the
American Jewish Historical Society
and the American Scenic and Historic
Society, the old Hebrew
is to be reconsecrated on
April 20, and q tablet will be erected
which will bear this brief but signifi-
cant inscriptions:

be erected here this summer. Even
though as many should be erected this
summer as We're built after the fire last
summer. the demand will not be more

demand for rents is not decreasing.
