Both Rather FIippant.

There is curious parallelism be-
tween two stories told respectively Of
the late Mr.. Sturgeon and Of Dean
Swift
Mr.. Sturgeon on hearing Of the dew
astation wrought by an earthquake In
Essex merely remarked, 81 am glad to
hear that my county is moving at last. !"
The dean Of st. Patrick's, Dublin,
was watching with friend the roof
Of a building on which several men
were at work fixing states. Suddenly
one of the men vanished. Thereupon
the dean turned to his companion and
said. Il like to see a man go quickly
through his work.

LONDON THEATERS.

The Ordeal of Getting Past the Aged
Ticket Taker.
The first difference l always find be-
tween going to the play in London and
In New York is that in New York the
man who has paid for seat is made
to feel that he is patron of the house,
while in London he Is greeted by the
staff of the theater not exactly as an
intruder, but as necessary evil. They
appreciate that an audience is a neces-
sary evil. but sooner than have one
they would almost prefer to close the
house.
In London for that Importantly stra-
tegic outpost OF ticket taker an old
man of eighty is always employed.
You think this Is accident, but 1t Is
not Old age naturally suggests failing
eyesight, and when he keeps you wait
ing in the foyer while he examines
your ticket and assures himself that 1t
is not laundry bill or motor bus re-
ceipt you attribute the delay to his old
eyes. But in OBTAINING you he has
motive. Standing at his elbow, scowl-
ing darkly. there always is another
man, apparently plain clothes out
from Scotland Yard, uncomfortably
disguised In evening dress. And while
the aged ticket taker pretends to scru-'
nitiZe your ticket the lookout man
scans you. You cannot escape his eye.
He never sleeps. No American, no
matter how reckless, can hope to pass
that man with concealed bomb or
revolver or wearing white tie with
dinner coat.-COllier's.

CRYING BABIES.
BY EDWIN A..NYE.

They took the baby to church.
It is very unusual in the city to take
baby to the church. and the baby. or
dinartly good humored. began to be
fretful and cross. He did not like his
surroundings. He was deliberately
dressed, and he was too warm.
When the choir sang or the organist
played baby was quiet, but when the
minister began to read the Scripture
lesson the baby squalled.
The mother tried to soothe him. The
father took him and jumped him up
and down, man fashion. That suf-
feed for full three minutes, and then
baby protested. The congregation was
disturbed. Eyes were focused On the
mother. The preacher paused in his
reading.
Then the mother, with father gather
ing up The wraps, retired in disorder
to the church pariors.
The youngster was big. and, given a
fair chance. his lusty lungs raised a
tremendous howl, the howl Of health
and vitality.
And the nervous mother said, "Oh,
sometimes wish baby would be quiet
for one whole day!"
Which is one picture. Here In an
other:
Go down into the city slums. Go
through the rickety tenements. Ba-
bies, a multitude OF babies, are there.
But
These babies do not cry!
Their pinched faces for the most
part are pale and stolid. save where a
hectic flush, teiltale, shows on cheeks
here and there. They are not clothed
in purple or fine linen. Bundled In old
rags, they are disposed In dingy cor
ners or on filthy mats.
They do not cry or laugh
That requires vigor.
The tenement babies do not live and
thrive. They only exist. And the
doctors tell you that seven out Of ter
of them die, especially in the summer.
| You see, milk is high. especially
when you buy by the pint or ever
half pint. and the babies lie quiet and
slowly starve to death.
Could the mother OF that lusty baby
boy that cried in church see these ba
bies she would repent her desire tina
her healthy boy be quiet IL but onl!
for a day.
Healthy babies win cry. They ar,
built that way.
/ Down in the tenements they do no
cry because they have not the strength
They can only whimper their discon
tent Poor babies OF the poor.
/ Would you want your healthy. clean
