sort of excitement and hand 70 hahu
cutlass adventure he had missed when

Gossip of RailWaymen

<fl remember old Macdonald" started
in Uncle Hughie yesterday. Mac
was a freight conductor. He was
placed in charge of a passenger
train at one time and it was terribly
hard for him to get used to the plush
seats and other Pullman furniture. On
his first trip out he had orders that
had to be delivered to the engineer at
a certain station.
"A few miles before the station was
reached Mac started for the end of the
car. He hit the aisle and became con-
fused at the mirrors and couldn't find
his way to the platform. Finally he
pulled the bell rope, stopped the train.
jumped through one of the windows
and delivered the orders to the engt-
neer.
Mac wasn't so foolish, though. as
many people thought him. He was a
married man, but one day his wife.
who had become tired Of raiIroading
husband, secured a divorce with $40
a month alimony. The divorce didn't
bother Mac very much but he hated to
pay that alimOny. One day when the
$40 was due he phoned to his ex-wife
to meet him at certain corner.
He took her to lunch. poured sweet
words into her ear and finally led her
to the Office of the justice of the peace
and had the marriage knot tied again.
They lived together for about three
months apparently happy. Mac came
home one afternoon and informed her
that he had secured a divorce against
her and that he did not have to pay
any aIimony.
mo, Mac wasn't as simple as people
thought"

PAROCHIAL SCHOOLS IN
WAR AGAINST BAD TEETH
Plan Put in Operation at ST Josps Ten Months Ago Already
Shows Great Results-Children Do Better Work
With Increased Health

tinued regularly, ana If anything more
carefully than when the plan was first
put into operation. 1t was determined
not to lose the ground that had been
gained, and the situation today shows
that Father Quirk and his staff of ex-
amining dentists have the upper hand
of dental troubles at St. Joseph's
school.
Other Schools Follow.
Similar plans, but on less elaborate
scale, are in opers tion at other paro-
chial schools and the results are in
proportion as satisfactory as at st.
Joseph's. There is no attempt made
to establish clinics. but a firm belief
is maintained that with the facilities
that are at hand every child can re-
ceive treatment for dental troubles
without inflicting any financial hard
ship upon the parents.
1t has been found that carelessness
and downright uncleanliness is the
cause of nearly all dental trouble in
children, and the people behind the pa
rochial school plan are of the opinion
that It costs nothing to keep the mouth
clean.
If the children cannot be taught to
do this in school or made to by the
parents then it is time to go into the
homes and find out why such condi-
tions are permitted to exist.
In any event the parochial schools
will not tolerate unclean mouths and
diseased teeth, and from now on the
campaign against this evil will be
waged with greater determination than
ever before. as the plan adopted 10y
Father Quirk and followed on a lesser
scale in other parochial schools is nc
longer an experiment. and the highly
satisfactory results of the work al
ready done justifies the conviction thai
the efforts must not be modified, and
that the grip that is now held on the
situation in the parochial schools must
not be relinqiushed at any cost.

ROOSEVELT TO LEAD
NASSAU'S DELEGATES

MINEOLA, L. l., Sept. 21.-At the
Nassau county Republican convention,
held at the Mineola Hotel. Colonel
Theodore Roosevelt was elected to head
the delegation of eleven men to repre-
sent the county at the State conven-
ton.
A resolution introduced by Samuel
Whitehouse, of oyster Bay, calling for
the instruction of the delegates to vote
for the colonel for temporary chairman
nearly created riot. Several men made
long speeches to the effect that such
action would be an affront to the most
distinguished member of the delegation
and was entirely unnecessary. Finally
the resolution was withdrawn amid
loud cheers for the colonel.
