This is the riddle which appeared in
Sundays Star
Evidently it has the guessers going
some There are divers opinions as to
the number of people buried under the
slab in the old Scotch cemetery. One
gentleman, evidently clergyman. is in
clined to the belief that a solution of the
problem would disclose some IMPROPERLY.
He can rest assured that his fears are
groundless.
There are others who would like just
little more insight and still others
who are certain they have the answer.
but prefer to work 1t out bit more
before they submit them.
The general opinion of those who want
more time Is that the riddle is an easy
one. and really the tombstone editor, after
having had the answer given him, is in
clined to agree with them.
But after all the work of guessing it
Is pleasant one. What do you think the
answer is?
Can't Be Worked Out.
Tombstone Editor, Evening Star:
Your riddle is ridiculous. 1t can't be
worked out. 1 claim to be pretty clever
at riddles. and my wife is. too. We sat
up till midnight wrestling with the propo-
sition. and we have both concluded that
it can't be done.
wish you would hold off little while
before you publish the answer, because
1 think I'm on new tack which may
fetch 1t.
j know my answer now. but I don't
want to give it till I've worked 1t out a
little more ISAAC CRIPPER.
Suggests Improperly.
Tombstone Editor, Sunday Star
1 regard your riddle as suggestive Of
improperly, for it is as clear as day that
the condition which it unfolds must neces-
sarily involve the marriage of a man to

MOTHER DENIES
SON IS Welded

Hearing only indirectly of the mar
riage of her son to Miss Lillian Han
sell, of 6O57 Haverford avenue. Phlla-
delphia, in Wilmington last March, tho
mother of Joseph A. Summers. Of 402
North Wanamaker street. started a
small war among her neighbors by
denying that it had ever taken place.
She sticks TO her position, even though
the young man is a fugitive. charged
with non-suppo-t.
She was left in ignorance of the mar
riage because after the elopement her
son bound his bride and her parents
TO secrecy regarding it, and has never
broken the silence TO his mother.
The ceremony was performed by the
Rev. George Lewis Wolfe. When tho
young pair returned TO Philadelphia,
Summers went to his mothers home
and bis bride went to her home.
II was not long before the yourg wo-
mans parents become restive under
that arrangement and had their scD-
in-law arrested for non-support lie
was released on bail and failed to ap-
pear at the hearing. Since that his
friends have been in ignorance Of his

LABOR VOTE PROBLEM.

TO THE average political leader the element
- of uncertainty adds to the facination of the
game OF politics, but sometimes it causes worri
ment, especially to those who depend upon poll
tics for living. They want to win, but often
their clear vision of victory is obscured by what
may prove to be but shadow as large as the
hand, although it appears like the mountain
There may be some elements of uncertainty in
the present campaign, although we do not see
them. There is considerable talk about the
Tabor vote" Mr. Gompers has promised to de-
liver as much of it as he can to the Democratic
ticket. The question i: : How many of the labor
votes can Mr. Gompers deliver? That puzzles
the political leaders If Mr. Gompers could turn
over even one-half of the members of the Amer-
can Federation of Labor it would probably result
in the election of Mr.. Bryan. Then again, If many
who .sympathise with Mr. Gompers, but who are
not members OF the various unions, should rally
TO his call at the polls, very large vote could be
swung to Mr.. Bryan.
How many will respond to the appeal Of Mr..
Gompers is problematcal, Just as it is how many
OF his followers supported Bryan during his two
campaigns. II the working people were organ
lied for political action in this country as they
are in Germany, they could control the situation.
in the realm OF the Kaiser they are disciplined
army who support their own candidates almost
sohdy, and whose vote appears to be ever in
creasing. But no such organization has been or
can be in the near future effected here
Americans vote as citizens. They NAV listen
to Mr. Compers, but they will not break away in
any large numbers from their old party ties. Be
sides, there are Socialists, Populists and Hearst
lists bidding against Mr.. Gompers for the same
vote. Altogether Mr. Gompers has huge task
before him and chance to test his discipline
