"oh, daddy, I'll promiseN' cried Jack in dsmay.
hThs happened" began daddy way back in 17I6, when we were fighting
for -Four Fourth of July. The boys name as Nicholas Gerry, and his mother
al q widow, whose little farm lay 10 nea the British camp that 1t vas
robbed almost nightly OF almost anything that wasn't locked up tight in the
house.
nicholas grew tired after awhile Of getting % eggs for breakfast and
he crept out OF his bedroom window ne dark night and, arnhng himself
only with a sharp pointed bean pole, he hid in the cornfeld.
pretty soon along came q red coated British grenader as big a Nicholas
and every blessed thing he put in 1t made Nicholas angner and angrier.

and started back for camp Nicholas cam up behind him and 5abblng him
with the bean pole, said in a voice Is hoarsea rs he could make 1t: Not that
wa. You are my prisoner. March ahead to the American camp. You have
felt my bayonet. Make a move to drop that bag and III and III shoot you
"And the Brtsher, believing that a big, well armed American soldier had
caught him, went meekly down the road clear into the American lines, more
than two miles away.
when the soldiers caught his arms and he threw down the bag and he
saw that he had been made a prisoner by a little boy with a bean pole his face
grew Is red as his uniform, and he blurted out: It's not right you know,
The very idea Of a British grenadier being captured by a brat

suffered with dandruff, not only from
the itching but from its dlsagreeable
appearance in a soaly form all over my
head. l had to brush it of my clothes
all day long. l used every kind Of prep
aration supposed to cure dandruf, also
soaps and shampoos, but 1t seemed to
me that, instead of improving with
these remedies, the dandruf increased,
even my HAN began to fall out and the
result was that two months ago eczema
developed on my scalp.
II suffered 80 from this that as a last
resource | thought l would try Cutlcura
Soap and Cuticura Ointment. They had
the most gratifying results for l had
used only one box Of Cuticura Ointment
and a single cake OF Cuticura Soap when
! vas cured, the eczema and dandruff
were zone and my head perfectly clear.
II can assure you that SO long as /
live no other soap than Cuticura will be
used by me and all those near 60 me.

Cuticura Ointment as a dressing for tho
hair. feel that you should know Of my
cure and il you desire you may use this
as q true testimonial which comes from
a sufferer Of thirty years standing. l

FLOWERS FOR WIVES.

Husbands Should Sestow Them With
Much Discretion.
Giving flowers to your wife is not
the simple and artless act which it ap-
pears is what an experienced man re-
marked of this practice In discussing
It with friends. Certain women accept
this pretty attention with the unsus-
pecting Joy of the wooing days, but
others ponder about the of the
giving.
A recent gallant governor Of Virginia
said at a banquet a wife would par
don almost any ofense In the presence
of a fragrant cluster of viOlets.
The wife of an eloquent public man
Of Iowa frequently has remarked she
does not care how much gayety her
husband has If he does not get caught,
but she does think long and hard when
he brings home roses and violets when
the prices are high. This wise woman
recommends that husbands habitually
bestow small gifts Of fruit and flowers
at home and then the domestic atmos-
phere always will be clear.
Senator T1lIman is one who enjoys
the reputation Of still adherlng to his
counting days in that every day he
adorns his wife's center table with
fresh flowers.

BARRIERS shave not only the lips. cheeks

IRISH
Appears In Elaborate Forms on the
Smartsst New Neck Pieces.

Irish crochet lace occupies a leading
place in the consideration of designers
of neckwear. Irish crochet is now pop
ular in English court circles, owing to
the mandate of Queen Mary that those
who aspire to her favor must wear
only goods of British manufacture.
This may account for the lace's vogue
with American society leaders, but the
fact that 1t is so durable a lace and so
easily initiated by the amateur has
something to do with its popularity

ATTENDED YALE: FORGIVEN.

NEW HAVEN. June 1s.-Charles
Lenox Banks, a New York city lawyer,
has sent word to his son, Charles
Lenox Banks, Jr., that he has been for
given for going to Yale. The father will
come here to see his son get a diploma
next week.
For four generations the Bankses
were Yale men, but Mr.. Banks quar-
relied with the faculty over entrance ex-
animation tests and went to Columbia,
from which he was graduated in 1882.
He promised to send his son to that in
stitution. When the young man in
sisted on coming to Yale he refused
assistance. The Yale men in the fac
ulty saw the boy through.
Mr.. Banks has relented on hearing
that his son has won scholarship hon
ors.
Young Banks has been so deeply af-
fected at the reconciliation that he has
consented to go to the Columbia Law
School.

Grntined At Result.

To the Editor Of the Evening Star:
1t la a gratifying fact that all the
financial details covering the collection
of the subscriptions to the Cleveland
memorial fund. which had its origin
here, have been completed so that the
association in charge of it is now ready
to go ahead.
The tower, which will be erected at
Princeton, will not only be a fitting
memorial to the statesman in whose
honor 1t will raise its graceful outlines,
but also, as I look at it, will be a monu-
ment to the men who made its erection
possible.
I do not know whether any arrange
ments have been made to place upon
the tablet the names of those most &C.
tive in making the movement a sue
cess, but II no such arrangements have
been made l would suggest that this
be done. At least the names of the
officers of the association and the TX
ecutive committee should be perpet-
uated by actual inscription upon the
tablet or in some other like way.

"PEACE SUNDAY" CALL.

NEW YORK, June 16.-The executive
committee of the Federal Council of
the Churches of Christ in America yes
terday authorized a call to be sent TO
the more than 100000 ministers and
pastors of churches in the fellowship of
the council, asking them to consider
on Sunday, July 2, questions of inter-
national arbitration and peace.
The call suggests that the fact that
this Sunday Is SO close to the national
holiday, July 4, makes it especially ft-
ting that such themes should have the
attention of the pulpits of this country
on that day"
This council Of churches. represent
ing the larger part Of the Protestant
church membership Of the United
States, Is pledged to do all in its power
to advance the cause of international
arbitration and peace.

COMMISSION OUTLOOK IN TRENTON.

oTa RENTON is being thoroughly canyassed by the partisans OF
local commission government for the election next Tuesday.
The town is flooded with literature, MONDAY mass-meetings
for workingmen are held and the local newspapers are working
overtime for the success of the proposition. On the other hand,
the opposition is passive and undemonstrative. The commission
government advocates also have organization and leaders, with the
machinery to bring out the vote on election day. Under these cir.
cumstances the proposition bids fair to win, for the advantages
are all, in it's favor. But appearances in politics are too often
deceptive. "The shadows murmur while the deeps are dumb" A
large vote will be polled in Trenton, and probably the percentage
will exceed that in Bayonne, and there will be a. large adverse vote.
A mastery inactivity is often good tactics in politics and war.

CHARITY.

VA HAT New York judge in an address at Albany on Wednes-
WV day night characterized as a clockwork system of charity
is, unfortunately, much in evidence in all cities. He in
stanced the case of a widow who killed her child. She was frail
and feebleminded, was knocked from pillar to post, was miserably
poor and sought work as a domestic. She could get no employment
where she might care for her child. She sought several orphan
asylums and the doors were closed upon her. In her last despair
and in darkness and bitter cold, she ended the life of her child.
Had there been kind words and encouragement for this homeless,
troubled woman" said the judge, the tragedy would not have been
enacted" How many sad tragedies in life would be ayerted if the
worlds charity had more real warmth! If the clockwork of organ
lied charity oftener Slipped a cogn

METROPOLITAN SELESHNESS.

IT T is claimed by the metropolis that the rainfall has only
partially refled the Croton reservoirs and that more rain is
needed. But We submit that the special providence that New
York has invoked for its own benefit has already been exceedingly
trying to other communities. How much more rain and discom-
fort must we endure for the sake of having New Yorks water sup
ply replenished? But that's the selfish way of our big neighbor.
She pulls down the hoodgates of the skies and browns her neighbors
when she wants a big drink. But what can you expect o a town
that uses the bay for a sewer, discharges into it hundreds of mil
lions of gallons of crude sewage daily to pollute New Jerseys
shores and then raises Cain when a few smaller towns in New
Jersey club together to build a sewer to the bay to discharge moth
ing more than the innocuous efiuent of their sewage?

Craze to shoot Dogs.

To the Editor of the Evening Star:
During the few warm days that we
have had so far there has r~eappeared
dogs that are called mad. These mad"
dogs are so judged because they u
around with their tongues hanging out.
Any sensible person would make the
mad" dog perfectly rational by giving
1t a basin OF cold water.
1t is a wonder that the S. P. C. A.
does not lake more care of this end OF
their work. Perhaps they lack the
means and assistance to do it, but
surely some of these philanthropists
could give a little of their time to this
matter. There are those who teach
hat every animal on this earth was
created for some good purpose. 1 can
readily believe this, although it seems
we nave to stretch our Imagination and
affection to nnd a loving spot for mos
q~uitoes. etc.
There is one thing certain concern
ing the homeless dogs, They were
never created to be tortured. In some
parts of the world they are indispen-
sable at all times. while right here in
the midst of civilization they often
protect our property and lives. Let the
homeless ones live in some dog village
where they will annoy no one. At any
rate save them from the policeman:
bullet. CHEESEHoUND.

WIRES

@ o much damage was done to electric and other wires by the
recent storms that the wireusing companies ought to begin
to take in serious consideration, as a business proposition,
the burial of their wires in cities and towns. In the storm on Mon.
day night in Camden many miles of wires were dragged to the
ground with their supporting poles, and the trolley service on one
line had to be abandoned. The loss by damage in a year to the
wire.using companies in New Jersey must be very large, while the
interruption of service and loss of income are serious enough. With
the wires underground the companies may defy the storm.
