left him to amuse the others with his
unique conversation and hunted up
Shearer's stopping place.
The boarding house proved to be OF

center and an office and bar on either

HOW TO MANIAC
THE SUMMER MAN.

If any poor little soul who feels her
hold slipping from about the heart OF
the man she loves desires recipe for
bringing him back to her. let her set the
family cat upon the hearthstone ana
study him. When she has attained
scientific knowledge of his likes and
dislikes, his habits and idiosyncrasies,
his faults and his virtues she will have
acquired the subtle art Of managing a
man.
A cat is not really wicked animal
He is lovable in a way. But he has a
complex nature quite different from
that of the simple dog, whose affections
are written in his eyes. A dog needs
only to be loved. A cat must be very
deftly handled
Most women make the mistake of APP
preaching a man as they would dog
Before marriage they let him trot at
their heels, carry their packages and sit
at their feet.
After marriage they smother him
with caresses and cling about his neck
| in manner that would send the best
natured cat in the world scudding away
to freedom.

the dog nature-long suffering. devoted
and enduring. Possibly that Is why she
cannot understand the masculine cat
A dog loves his master; cat loves his
home. A woman loves her lover; a
man loves the society of the woman
who makes him most comfortable. The
strongest masculine love that the world
| has ever known has not been able 70
endure the strain of burned chops and
curtain lectures, while the vainest and
weakest woman living Will often stand
up in the police court and fight for the
| freedom of the man who has been ar
| rested for beating her. 1t requires a
sixth sense in a dog or cat or man
| or woman to understand each other.
| A man. like cat, may be coaxed; he
cannot be bulied. The girl who at

| him with those obvious feminine at
tentions such as making love to his
sister and inviting him to call when he

! parlance. "flnging herself at his head
| She is trying to charm him as she
would try to charm cat by catching II
| by the nape OF the neck and rubbing

| a bone as she would fling bootjack
| The man, like the prosecuted cat Is
aware that something is about to de-
scend upon him, and he runs.
| 1t is that subtle woman who looks the
other way while she bangles ribbon

cat or a man. The woman who can

WOMEN RULE BEFORE
MARRIAGE, MEN AFTER

If every girl made up her mind that
her lovers expenditure during their en-
gagement should be in exact proportion
to his income the pinching and saw
ing that mar the first year or two OF
married life would be avoided, and love
would be neither strained nor fretted
by the addition Of financial worry to
the inevitable commonplace OF matri-
mony.
But apart from the actual cost of
courtship there are further sacrifices
demanded of the engaged man, not least
among such being the entire subjuga-
ton Of his leisure to the command of
his ladylove. He Is expected to call on
her frequently. and this necessarily has
to be after the toll of day has ended;
so his evenings are confiscated, while
even the brief hours of his Saturday
half holiday must be devoted to her
amusement.
Matinees, picture galleries and kim
bred feminine designations, all equally
uninteresting to the male mind. replace
for the man in love the golf. cricket or
football of his unfettered bachelor Sat
urtlay. Nor Is the sacrifice even then
complete, for he is expected to re-
nounce his club and men friends. the
mere suggestion of smoking concert
meeting a frown from the girl whose
hand is fettered by his ring. Thus, If
not all at once, by slow degrees he
gives up much that is dear to the heart
of man, and his fiancee fondly imagines
that every tomorrow shall be as to-
day far into the welded years of the
future.
But the pealing Of the wedding bells
tolls the knell of the woman's power,
for henceforth man is master Of his
own purse, his own actions and his
own wife. He leads where once he was
led, and friends of yore and the club
are no longer pleasures of the past.
Thus, though the cost of courtshtp is
paid by the man at the moment, woman
contributes her share of sacrifice after
marriage. She then is expected to rec
nounce--and not for time only, but
forever-g irlhood, its friends and pleas
ures alike.
Her life is reduced to an eternal
round of catering for the man who
finances the larder. She has all too of
ten to be compendium that performs
the duties of wife. housekeeper, cook,
housemaid and nurse, none of which
positions, however, offers the least emol-
ument. A new gown or hat is often
grudged to her, her garments being ex-
pected to do duty season after season,
despite the fads and fancies of fashion.

Thorpe rang the bell. To the boy

The cripple nodded again.

affectionate glow seen in the eyes of q

change.
a knock announced the sandwiches
and milk. The cripple fell upon them
with both hands In sudden ecstasy
of hunger. When he had finished, he
looked again ct Thorpe, and this time
there were tears in his eyes.
A little later Thorpe interviewed the
proprietor of the hotel.
II wish you'd give this boy good
cheap room and charge his keep to
me-" said he. "He's going north with
me-"
Thorpe lay awake for some time aft
er retiring. Phil claimed share OF his
thought In an hour or so he dozed.
He dreamed that the cripple had grown
to enormous proportions and was over
shadowing his life. A slight noise out
side his bedroom door brought him to
| his feet.
He opened the door and found that
in the stiffness of the night the poor
deformed creature had taken the blar-
kets from his bed and had spread them
across the doorsill of the man who had
befriended him.

apart and left the inhabitants
to piece it together again as they could.
The "rear' had not yet arrived. As a
consequence Thorpe found the city
comparatively quiet.
Although his ideas We're not as yet
formulated. he hoped to be able to pick
up crew of first class men from those
who had conie down with the advance,
or "jam," OF the springs drive. They
should have finished their orgies by

found hanging about the boarding
houses and the quieter saloons. Thorpe
intended to offer good wages for good
men He would not need more than
twenty at first. for during the APP

With this object in view he set out

Bride Mobbed by Scores Of
Women, and Church Sacked

THE coELET.WHELAN NuPTIALs
Robert Goelet Of New York, Married to
the Most Beautiful Girl in Philadel-
phia" at Wayne, Pa. - Crush at the
Entrance and Fight to See the Bride
Alice Roosevelt bridesmaids

Philadelphia, Pa, June 15.-Robert
Goelet, of New York, and Elsie Whelan,
OF Philadelphia, called the most beau
tif,i girl in Philadelphia" were mar
rie,i Yesterday in the little st. Mary's
church at Wayne. Alice Roosevelt and
others were her bridesmaids.
There has not been anything in years
at which the general public had SO
much fun. There was mobbing of the
bride by scores of women, there was
sacking of the church after the cere-
mony and the removal of all the deco
rations as souvenirs, there was gaping
curiosity that made one woman lose her
false teeth, there was crush and swell
ter of guests confined in the tented COR
ridor, there were spectators perched in
trees and on fences, and there were
twenty enterprising dressmakers who
came cut in advance on special train
SO as to gather hints from the gowns
of the guests. Finally, there We're heart
burnings and jealousies among the
guests themselves as to who of those
at the church had been invited to the
reception alleFWGtu.
To get to the church 1t was necessary
to pass thru sixfy-foot canvas tunnel
erected for the protection of the guests
disfnounting from carriages. About
fifty guests entered this tunnel at the
same time, but upon arriving al the
church door found it rocked. Then they
started to retreat, but found TINS I'M
possible as scores of others had START
ed to follow into the church, and the
throng Of curiosity seekers blocked the
canvas tunnel completely. For ten
minutes the early guests were squeezed
and half suffocated in this canvas
prison. Then, as the church doors still
remained closed some of the women
raised the canvas from the bottom and
crawled out. They We're hot and ex-
hausted and their tempers were as
badly ruffled as their gowns.
The first of the wedding party to ar
rive were the three New York ushers,
Ogden Mills Jr., Arthur Burden, and
Robert Gerry. They came from the
station in a hack and attempted to aid
the police in keeping the crowd back.
Somebody started to throw things at
them and they retreated.
Then a closed carriage with yellow
gear was seen approaching. 1t con-
tanned Miss Whelan and her father,
with Mrs. Edwin Moore Robinson.
Fight to See Bride.
"You can't keep us back now.
screamed the women, fighting their
way past the officers, and pulling and
wrestling their way TO the front.

swlmMlNc POPULAR in ENGLAND

Curiously enough, 1t is among the ups

LrPRosY NOT HEREDITARY.

A Franciscan nun, Sister ALBANIA, has
recently returned from the Hawaiian
Islands, where she has for eleven years
been tending the children of lepers.
She says there Is no truth in the state
ment that the children inherit the dis
ease from their parents. She and her
companion take the children away
when they are two days old. and she
states that they have never had case
where leprosy has developed in after
years. Most of the children thus tend
ed and rescued come from the island Of
Molokai, the leper colony. This II an
other example of the modern scientific
teaching that no diseases are transmits

change of program in the national re-

week is to be considered at a confer
ente between President Roosevelt and
several senators and representatives
who are delegates to the convention.
Quite number of prominent repub-
lican politicians will come TO Washing

the purpose of talking over some re-

cutipe The revival of the Canadian
reciprocity talk in Massachusetts and
the stand taken by the republicans
there are making things rather inter-
esting for Senator Cabot Lodge. who
is coming on to Washington before he
goes to Chicago.
Ten days ago it had been arranged
that Lodge should be chairman of the
committee on resolutions at Chicago
and the tariff plank agreed on was a
standpat declaration. But there is APP
prehension among republicans.
The revival of the reciprocity discus
sion and the situation in Wisconsin,
Illinois and Iowa are not reassuring.
OF course no republican will admit
that there is any possibility of Roose-
yelts losing any of these states, but
they do admit there is danger of losing
solne congressional districts on the
tariff and reciprocity issues Wiscon-
sin republicans of both factions are
free to say that they expect to see a
democratic state administration, no
matter what the outcome may be in
the courts.

tween the two factions that each would
prefer to see democratic state admin

congressional campaign and this is
where the republican leaders desire to
call a halt, and warn the standpatters.

@HERE is class of beings In
this world perhaps more PEE


s. culiar to New York than to
- other cities. We might call
them those who live on the
surface. There are some who will tell
you that they don't get the best that is
in life. But that all depends on what
you call the best.
There are two kinds of pleasure--the
pleasures of the moment and those
which last long enough and go deep
enough to bring pain with them. They
are more intense than the first. but
those who live on the surface have
learned to avoid them. No great pain
and no great pleasure and no sincerity
which inevitably leads to both--but
a lot of the little anusements or life
smile here, a bow there. a tiny hand
clasp to this one and tiny lie to that
one-and that's all and enough for
them. All. it's a great art learning how
to fill your life with a little song and a
few flowers and always that ripple OF
laughter which comes from the brain
and not from the heart!

have strong feelings ought to be put

could be heroines just as well as not
who have on occasion taken chances
