II think I'll get married." said Pene-
lope to herself, as she sat in quiet
corner on the veranda Of the Seaside
hotel.
Penelope was young and pretty. No
level-headed person would ever have
thought Of making an assertion that,
by any possibility, could be construed
as contradictory to such plausible
facts. And every man at the hotel
was heels over head in love with her.
After having reached this important
matrimonial decision, she charged
along the piazza, so wrapt in her cogi-
tations that at a sharp turn she
bumped, with considerable violence,
into Tom Hathaway.
"Oh!" she gasped, 81 beg your par

Tom. There's no reason why |

golf"

lope. Even the caddies are asleep"
"Never mind" said Tom. Then
we'll have the links all to ourselves.
Come along"
Tom was on his knees, making her
tee, when 1t happened. Penelope
stood close by him. Suddenly he
seized her hand.

came running out of the club house,

Good" said Bob; "it's good for his
digestion. But how on earth"
He stopped short. Neither Of his
listeners was in condition to utter
an Ineligible answer. Tom made
a break for the pump. and Penelope
was sitting on the ground, sobbing
with laughter.
"What in heavens name is the mat

had In a measure recovered her COM
posture.
"He Just had an accident" she re-
piled.

They promenaded lazily until they
came upon a secluded bench. They
sat and chatted, and his arm crept to-
ward her waist, much to the conster-
nation of an old gardener, who unob-
served behind them was sprinkling the
lawn with hose.

Penelope, sinking down beside him.

would have chosen, she thought. You

ARMY OF JUVENILE TolLERs.
Chicago Newspaper Points Out Evil
in Economic Conditions.

An economic condition that compels
a single child to toll for it's daily
bread is deplorable. Human sensi-
bility Is touched by the thought OF
children Of tender years being con-
signed to industrial bondage in a
land of plenty. If the sight Of few
score children toiling in a factory
arouses the humane impulse and
eYokes vigorous protest, what shall
we say of an army of 1,750,178 juve-
nile toilers, all compelled to work for
a living?
This is the number of children now
working for their daily bread in the
United States, according to special
report of the census bureau just is
sued. They form more than 6 per
cent of the total number Of workers
in this country, the boys outnumber-
ing the girls three to one. When 1t
is remembered that children are
largely employed in the more mental
forms of unskilled labor 1t will he
seen that they are much more apt
to be exposed to unsanitary and I'M
healthful conditions than are the
adults. They are also less able to
enforce demands for more favorable
conditions in the few instances where
they are intelligent enough to see the
necessity for them. They constitute
a helpless and pitiful army Of toilers.

eRlEvED HIM TO PAY TWICE.
How Two Dollars Spoiled an After.
noon for Russell SAGE.


noon for Russell Sage.
Russell Sage seldom takes any amuse-
ment. His pleasure is working and
gathering in the gold eagles. Yet
Uncle Russell not only had to pay for
tickets for an entertainment, but he
had to pay the second time.
A few years ago Miss Helen Gould
gave a lawn fete at Lynhurst on Hud-
son for the benefit of the navy branch
of the Young Mems Christian associa-
ton. The tickets of admission were
81 each. Mr.. and Mrs. Sage are close
friends of Miss Gould, and she often
entertains them. Mr.. Sage bought
two tickets.
On the afternoon of the lawn fete
he and Mrs. Sage left New York for
Irvington, and thence went to Miss
Gould's by stage. Miss Gould's orders
were that no one should be admitted
to the grounds without ticket. The
police were on hand TO enforce this
command.
The stage that Mr.. and Mrs. Sage
came in was full of people. Tickets
were demanded, and every one showed
his excepting Mr.. Sage. He fumbled
around in all his pockets, and kept the
stage and its occupants waiting for
about five minutes.
Finally he said: I'm Russell Sage.
bought two tickets, but have for
gotten to bring them"
The ticket man replied: miss
Goulds order is that every one must
have a ticket. You are blocking the
way; so please give me 81 or stay
out"
Mr.. Sage reached down deep and
brought out two old dollar bills and
handed them to the ticket man, heav'
ing heavy sigh. The saddest part OF
the story was that Mr.. Sage found the
two missing tickets after he was In
the grounds.

Richard s. Croker, son of the for.

CADETS TO BE ASSIGNED.
Secretary Taft Makes New Ruling for
Good of the Army.

Secretary Taft has introduced a re-
form at West Point which he claims
will be of benefit to the service, but
which will stir up some feeling among
army officers, and especially among
the cadets. In future the latter are
not to be allowed to choose which
branch Of the service they will enter.
but will be assigned to their places
by a board. The custom has been
to allow the first few high-standing
cadets in the graduating class to go
into the engineers, the next group to
the cavalry and those who remain to
the infantry. This gave the cadets
an added incentive to take high rank
so that they could have some choice
as to their future. But the secretary
states, and plausibly, that this sys-
tenn often threw men into a branch
for which they were not fitted and
the result was detriment to the
army.

of circumstances attending the recent
marriage there of Robert Goelet and

swooped down on the place with dec
orators and florists before DR.. Arm

their intention. They did not even
invite him to assist in the ceremony.
After the wedding party had gone the
church was almost torn to pieces by
a crowd of sightseers who were let
loose In 1t. DR.. Armstrong and the
vestry have therefore taken measures
to prevent such scenes in future.
