Mrs. Rogers had the barrel of rus
set apples placed in the attic because
they were not quite ripe enough to
eat, and she warned her three boys,
whose ages range from FIVE to eleven
years, not to touch them.
Then, one rainy day, when she
sought the attic to get something
from a trunk, she came full upon her
sons, surrounded by apple cores. At
her approach two of the boys drew
closer together; but the third, a
little distance of, who lay on his
stomach, contentedly munching an
apple, apparently paid no attention
to his mothers entrance.
Jack! Henry. Willie" she en-
claimed reproachfully. Whatever
are you doing: And those apples !.
Didn't l tell you not to touch
them:
Yes, mamma, replied Jack, the
eldest, but we're not really eating
them; we're acting the Garden of
Eden. Willie and 1 are Adam and
Eve. Henry, over there, is the
serpent, trying to lead US to our
downfall by showing US how good
the apples are
But" began the mother, as
sternly as she was able, you two
must have been eating apples; Hen
ry hash done it all. see as many
as ten cores around you.
"oh, yes, returned Willie, the
youngest, we've all been taking
turns being the serpent. Fruit

GETS STAGE OFFERS.
But Mrs. Cudahy VII Stick to
Children.
by Telegraph to The Tribune.

Kansas City, Mo, March 10.-Although
she has had theatrical offers showered
upon her by the score, Mrs. Jack Cudahy
is not going upon the stage. One Offer
which she refused to-day, was from James
T. Powers. of Havana" Mr.. Powers
wired Mrs. Cudahy TO name her own terms
for place in the Hello People" chorus.
Now, wouldn't I look pretty saying
Hello. people, people helo,' and giving my
hand a silly wave?" Mrs. Cudahy said
to-day. And she laughed heartily when
asked If she were going to accept the offer
from the Havana" company.
Really, though" she added, IF it were
not for my children l would go on the
stage But not in low musical comedy or
anything like that. The stage always has
appealed to me. Not the glamour of the
footlights or the plaudits OF the audience,
but the life and the people.
The people Of the stage are not like the
idle rich. thinking Of nothing but money
and good clothes. They are brainy, the
good actresses are. Their world contains
something more than idle gossip and good
clothes.
But, much as such an artistic life ap-
peals to me, will not go or the stage. My
duty IS with my children. must live for
them. Why, the offer from the Havana
company is only one of a dozen offers

She took from table kilograms and let

oh, the utter foolishness OF most of
these" she said. One man back in New

says he will give sl,000 a week, and l would
need no preliminary training.
IF I were 10 go on the stage il would
only be in heavy drama-something that
was really worth while. I have had offers
from half a dozen large cities. But I will
accept none Of them, not one. l must de-
vote my life TO my children
