ONE DEAD, SEVERAL
HURT IN CRASH
Crowded TrOlleys in Philadel-
phia Collide Returning

running boards crowded with baseball
fans returning from the Philadelphia
Chicago game yesterday afternoon, a

conclusion of brain; rendered uncon-
scious.
Several other passengers had minor
injuries dressed by nearby physicians.
When the cars crashed together Smith
vas thrown from the York street car
right in front of the Fifteenth street
trolley.
Before Fitzpatrick, motorman of the
Fifteenth street car, could stop, his car
had passed over Smith and mangled
him almost beyond recognition.
Seeing that a collision was inevitable
many of those on the running boards
of both cars leaped to the ground and
escaped uniniurcd.
Both cars were knocked off the tracks
by h impact of the collision.

Can Your Advertising Agent
Outsel1 ALI the Rest? I

But what do they all matter when compared
with results?
Our only claim is that we outsell all others.
We have proved it to hundreds. We can prove
it to you.
This fact is so certain-so invariably true
that we handle advertising without any contract
whatever. We rely solely on results to keep it.
That is why our Copy Chief is paid $1,000
per week. That is why each of our brilliant
men holds the place he holds.
Working together-as they do--they can
sell more goods per dollar spent than any other
men in existence.
Suppose these claims are facts. And sup
pose they apply to you.
Suppose these men, at the same expense,
could bring twice the results you are getting.
How much would it mean?
There is a way to find out-easily, quickly
and certainly.
It can be done without any commitment on
your part, and without disturbing your present
agency connections.
!, The answer will be clear and final. It may
be worth thousands of dollars to you. And it
may be worth millions. That depends on the
article advertised.
If you are interested, ask us to explain the
way.

This is the vital question.
Advertising agents are bad, better or best,
according to their selling ability.
Nothing else matters at all.
Advertising has only one purpose. It is
done solely to sell the goods.
IF ads can be written to sell a tenth more
than yours, you are wasting a tenth of your
money. You are losing a tenth Of your sales.
Suppose you could hire the best salesman
you know at the price of a tyro. Which man
would you take?
In advertising, you can do exactly that.
High-class agents, whether good or poor, all
charge the same commission.
Ads that sell the utnos. cost no more to
insert than ads that sell nothing at all.
Getting the best is not a question of price,
but of shrewdness.
Your degree of success depends entirely on
your selection of salesrnen-in-print.
We solicit business solely on the basis of
results.
We might talk age, for this agency is SO
years old.
We might talk size, for we have outgrown
all rivals.
We might talk buying power, influence,
knowledge of mediuns-a dozen such matters
of course.

nette once thought of calling out to Paul that they were already safe in a tree, and for him to try to come no farther but to climb a tree as quickly as he could, but Pauls voice kept calling to his sisters to warn them, and Annette knew he would not understand her should she cry out to him.
 Within minute, however, the girls suspense was relieved by the sight of Paul coming through the underbrush which had hidden him while farther away. He was hatless and basketless, and was much excited But nowhere be- hind him came the great bear the girls had feared they would see. They breathed more easily and called out to Paul to come to their tree. He did as guided and was soon safely seated on limb just few feet from where Annette and May were perched.
 But where is the bear?" asked An nette.
 q guess he must have got lost in the pursuit." said Paul. But he was right behind ne" Paul stopped short his eyes bulging from his head. ''There he comes'' he whispered hoarsey. And to Annette's and Mays horror they saw coming through the underbrush a great black bear. He was for all the world like one they had recently seen In a menagerie. 'Oh"' gasped May. What shall we do?''
 Remain very quiet. He may not see us." So warned Paul.
 The bear came along leisurely, walking right toward the stone on which the lunch was spread. He nosed about the table, seemed to like the smell of some of the food and began to eat it. small paper bag of lump sugar attracted his palate, for he tore the bag open and ate every bit of it. The children in the tree sat almost breathless, watching their luncheon disappear. And MT. Bear was not at all nice in his table manners. He got his dirty paws on the white cloth and soiled it. He broke a pretty drink ing glass and upset another glass of jelly.

Florenzio, sore and suffering in arms and hands, and heavy of heart. went off toward the woods, carrying q huge earthen jar on his shoulder. To fill that large vessel would mean to work all day among the bee trees, and to suffer more pain from contact with the stinging bees. Indeed, Florenzio feared that to be stung more while his arms and hands were in this condition would mean that he would die of his hurt. But, after all, death held no terror for him, for he was a truthful, honorable boy, and had no fear for the future life. and his unhappy con- dition in his present life held no promise for him.
 After entering the edge of the heavy forest Florenzio sat down beside a brook to bathe his feverish hands. While thus engaged q great bee came flying along and alighted on bush close beside the spot where Florenzio sat. Florenzio, too much occupied with his painful hands. did not notice the bee until she spoke to him. Then, in engagement, he sat up and looked all about for the owner of the voice, which did not sound like that of a human being, and yet was soft and low, anc spoke the language of Florenzio.
 Little boy" said the bee, 'I have come to be of help to you. I am fairy in the disguise of bee Now, have been watching you for sometime, and have seen how you are mistreated in the home of your kin. They look upon you as a mere slave, whose business it is to fetch and carry for them, to wait upon them hand and Soot Now, will you accept me as vour henefactor9"

''Oh. yes, good fairy he cried, "I should be glad if you would do something to make my lot easier. I am so unhappy; oh, so miserable!'
 Do as I bid you, my boy said the bee 'Lie down and sleep while I fill your jar with honey. You need the rest"
 Florenzio was very glad of the oppor- tunity to sleep, and stretched himself on the cool ground In the shade of the trees. Soon he was fast asleep, for the fairy bee had famed his arms and hands with her gossamer wings. healing the sore and

 Say, girls, here's fine place to eat our lunch, said Paul. Suppose we put our lunch basket here in the cool nook beside the spring. It will be secure"
 "Yes. and we'll go over the hill for the nuts,' said Annette. You know there are always so many beyond the hill. It seems that no one ever looks-for nuts beyond the line of the spring brook. Do you remember how mah4 we got there last year?''
 Almost bushel,' declared Paul We had such a load that we couldn't carry it, and l had to make a second trip here, bringing big grain bag to carry the nuts home in"
 May placed the lunch basket In a safe hiding place beneath some autumn-t tinted bushes that grew beside the spring. Then, Paul swinging the big nut baskets on his arms, the three went off over the wooded hill, descending on the opposite side to a spot where grew several great trees from whose abundant branches nuts rained in great numbers The ground was already covered with brown nuts, gleaming through the fallen leaves. And a shower of nuts and leaves fell with every fresh gust of wind that shook the branches.
 The three children fell to gathering nuts as fast as they could, taking care to throw away any that were marked by wormholes.
 ''The worms that have entered nuts have a prior claim,'' said Paul. ''They have taken possession and possession Is nine points of the law"
 Well, I guess it isn't so much in re- spect to the worm that you discard the holemarked nuts as you would have us believe" laughed Annette. You don't want to carry home useless nut"
 That's it. said Paul with mock gray ity and wounded feelings. "One Is never appreciated when performing deeds of kindness. The motive is considered q selfish one. I am charitable to the worm In the nut, and am accused of acting on personal motives only. Cruel, cruel world"

devoted to his sisters as they were de- voted to him.
 Ready, galsf' called Paul from the hall downstairs He had two huge bas- kets on his arms, ready for the task of filling them with nuts. 'I'm primed for the start and ready to go off."
 "Al right; count ten and we'll be with you on the last fgure.'' called down An nette. Then she and May hustled about, completing their preparations for start ing As their brother called out "Ten!" they joined him below stairs. All three kissed their mother good-by and were off, going merrily down the street lead ing to the outskirts of the town. From there their road would be among country fields and reeshaded lanes leading to | deep and beautiful woods two miles from town. The children often went nutting in this wood and felt as safe there as in their own pretty, hedged yard at home.
 The two miles were soon covered, and Paul led Annette and May into q shady path which rambled through the woods toward spring that welled up under shadowing ledge of rock. There they re- freshed themselves with a drink from

May and Annette laughed merrily over Pauls pretense at being hurt. Then, having already filled one basket with nuts, they started to filling the second one.
 Say, you girls return to camp with this basket" said Paul. "I'll fill the second one in short order and follow you. You can have the lunch spread by the time l get there."
 Annette and May thought this good suggestion, aud started to return to the spring, the basket carried between them. It was a pretty good load, but the little girls did not mind 1t. They were so glad to have found so many fine nuts.
 On reaching the spring they drew forth the lunch basket and took from it q large towel, which they spread over huge, flat rock. This was to be their luncheon-table. Then they spread the sandwiches, cake, cold chicken, jelly bread, hard-boiled eggs and other good picnic dainties on the cloth.
 Now" said May, while we wait for Brother to return let's climb that big tree over the spring. It will be such fun to watch Brother looking about for us when he comes. He'll never think of our being up tree"
 Good idea for some fun," agreed An nette. Then they hurried to the tree and began to climb to its center branches They were pretty fair climbers for girls, and were soon well up the tree. Just as they found a nice, comfortable seat on a big limb they heard their brothers voice calling to them as he came through th2 woods. From the sound of his voice he was running rapidly, and was much ex- cited. At first Annette and May could not make out what he was saying but as he came nearer they could distinctly understand these words: "Climb a tree quickly. A bear is comingr'
 Both girls blanched. Their fear was not for themselves, but for their brother They knew they were safe for the time being, and they did not bother about the time to follow. But they were deeply concerned about Paul. They supposed he was being pursued by bear and they feared he might be overtaken before he could reach the tree they were in. An

I'll take a wee bite of the food.'' And to the children's astonishment they saw n small, dark man come into the clearing about the spring. He approached the bear without hesitancy. It was the anil nal to whom he spoke. addressing him as Beppo.
 After seconds thought Paul and An nette knew the man was the bears keeper, and that the bear himself was harmless, for doubtless he was one of those trained animals that Italians lead through the country, stopping In ham, lets, villages and towns to gather few coins from the bystanders who enjoy looking at bear tricks" As the man was finishing one of the sandwiches Paul called down to him: ''Take what you like to eat, Mister, but please lead

feverish parts which had been poisoned by the bees ,stings.
 After several hours of quiet and rest ful slumber, Florenzio was awakened by the bee. Come, boy, awake! Let's go to the home of your uncle," said the fairy voice.
 Florenzio quickly got to his feet and saw on the ground beside him the Jar full of clear, beautiful honey "Ah, how quickly you filled the jar,'' said Floren- zio, speaking to the fairy. And were you not stung at all?"
 The fairy laughed. Don't you see. boy that I have taken on the form of huge bee? And while in this disguise I can go among the bees at will. They would not hurt me, for they know am their friend. The bees are often robbed- of their store of provisions by lazy peo- pie, and the fairy Is always the friend of the oppressed. l often assist the bees in their battles against intruding man. kind. and Sometimes their victims-I should say their enemies-are stung to their death, and 1t is only what they de- serve, for they should lay up their own store of food and not rob the industrious bee of his honey. But, come, you must be going. l will follow you. Be not afraid of anyone while l am near.
 Refreshed from his sleep, and the swelling gone from his arms and hands, Florenzio hurried through the meadows and over the hills homeward, carrying the jar on his shoulder as lightly as though it had been of feather weight. Close behind him flew and buzzed the big bee.
 On entering his uncle's house Floren- zio was met by his cousins, Adalina and Edwardo. "Ah, what brings you home so quickly?' asked Edwardo. If you haven't filled the jar with honey my mother will have you fogged.'
 ''I have a jar brimful" said Florensio And he placed the vessel of honey on a deal table in the outer hall.
 Adalina ran to fetch her mother, who, upon seeing the Jari of fine. clear honey, called to her husband to come and par take. She then sbade a servant bring plates and bread, saying that they would eat of the honey there in the cool outer hall.
 Pretty soon the family of four were seated about the deal table, their plates of
