OUR CEILDREN'S CORNER
A LITTLE DIFFERENCE.

HOROTHY suffered %dreadfully, and
~ some words seemed very hard to
force from her mouth. At home,
when there was no n there but the
family, she was able to speak with very
little difficulty. n only suffered once
in a while. But the minute any COM
pany came, or she went out anywhere
in the presence of strangers, the poor
child grew nervous, and became so en-
barrassed hat it was almost impossible
for her to say anything. The letter "t''
was a particularly hard letter to her.
One day a little friend invited Dorothy
to spend the day at her home, n in
the morning they walked two miles. AT
the lunch table Nellie's mother said:
"Well, children, did you have a pleas
ant time this morning."
"Oh, yes" answered Nellie, 1--WE did
have a lovely time. We took a long, long
walk"
Did your said Mrs. Smith, "and
how far did you walk, Dorothy"
There was a little pause, and then for
some unknown reason Dorothy blushed
scarlet, and said, -Four miles. Mrs.
Smith"
Nellie's eyes grew round with amaze
ment. why. Dorothy" she exclaimed,
what are 0 talking about; you know
we only walked twol"
Il know it," answered Dorothy, mis-
erably, but / felt the shutters coming
and ] couldn't have said it to save my
life, and four isn't half so hard wher
you're going to stutter."

WILL DISTRIBUTE RICHES.

Millions Upon Poor People.

Reports Say Rockefeller Will Bestow
Millions Upon Poor People.
New York. July 2s.-That John D.
Rockefeller, the oil king, is preparing
to distribute good part of his numer-
GUS millions in charity is predicted by
those who profess to have acquaint-
ance with the Rockefeller plans. 1t is
said Rockefeller has already transfer
red many millions to his son, John ID.
Jr.. so that the younger Rockefeller
may have the honor and fame of being
the dispenser of princely gifts.
Accor ling to the accepted version Of
the rumored plan, the money will be
given directly to the poor through GER
tain Rockefeller channels. Charitable
institutions and colleges will not bene-
fit to any extent by the projected phi
lanthropy.
Like all other Rockefeller activities,
the distribution of wealth to the mass
es will be handled by company duly
Incorporated.
Just what method of charity will be
followed has not been ascertained. but
it is said the money will be given out
right To the needy and that little will
be handled as loans. Whatever loans
may be made will be without interest.
Rockefeller refused to discuss the
rumor in any part. but the activity Of
his agents has lent a certain color Of
truth to the report.

GRAFT WAS HUGE.
Chicago Police Collected Nearly So

Chicago Police Collected Nearly S3,-
100000 a Year for Protec ection.
Chicago, July 2S.-Astounding reve-
lations follow the partial investiga-
tion of vice conditions in Chicago
made in connection with the present
crusade against police graft. Many
vicious industries were seen to be GEN.
tered in several districts Of the city in
such proportions that the task of in
vestigating conditions in the territory
over which Inspector McCann had jur-
isdiction is gigantic and will unfold to
the grand jury's gaze a spectacle many
times as loathsome as that presented
by the levee west of the river.
Conservatively estimated, the an
nual amounts in graft alleged to be
paid for police protection by resorts of
many kinds in the city, including dis
orderly houses, hotels, flats, rooming
houses, gambling houses, dance halls,
and saloons, made total of 1882
760, nearly 5000 places contributing
to the sum, il such fund exists.
The largest part of this enormous
revenue is said to be paid by resort
keepers and others in what is known
as the Twenty-second Levee district.
In addition to these amounts receiv-
ed from habitues Of Twenty.second
street levee, the First ward ball nets
its organizers $50, 900 year on the
average. Resort keepers and others
are forced to contribute in the whole
sale purchase Of tickets and wine.

MAKES NEW RECORD.

More Than an Hour.
Washington, July 2s.-The worlds
aeroplane record for two men, both as
to time and distance, was broken last
evening in beautiful fight of ! hour,
IL minutes and 40 seconds-upward of
so miles, and at a speed averaging 40
miles an hour, by Orville Wright at
Fort Myer, with Lieutenant Frank p.
Lahm, of the army signal corps, as a
passenger.
The former record was made last
year by his brother, Wilbur, at Le-
mans, France, with Professor Paintov,
Of the French institute, as passenger.
That flight was l hour. 8 minutes and
81 seconds. Wilbur was an eager
spectator Of yesterdays fight.
The cheering that heralded the set
ting of new mark in the conquest of
the air was led by President Taft, who
was an intensely interested spectator
throughout the flight. This success
was all important to the Wrights, in
that it completed the first of two cru
ical tests of their machine imposed
upon them by the United States gov
ernment - the so-called endurance
test" which required them to remain
one hour continuously in the air with
one passenger. Orville did nearly l3
minutes better than that, and could
have kept on indeiinitely-three hours
and half. the limit imposed by the
gasoline capacity of the supply tank.
