EoR THE UNITED sTATEs UNIFORM

@ NE OF the measures which got through at the late session Of
w Congress was the HObson bill making 1t a punishable Of
Tense to show disrespect to the uniform of the United
States army or navy. 1t has been the custom Of the proprietors of
some show-houses to refuse to sell tickets for seats to enlisted
men In uniform. Cases of this kind have not been of frequent
occurrence, but they have occurred often enough TO create public
evaporation. Unfortunately there has been no law to deal with
offenders. The HObson bill, which has become a law by the Presi
dents signature, provides a remedy. Hereafter the uniform of
the United States will not be Disseminated against at play houses
or other places of public entertainment with impunity.

Becker thought he was dealing with
a crazy man for an instant and then
realized that a mistake had been made.
He led the foreman to the street and
told him to be on his way TO the part

DELAWARE EoR AU1oMoBLE REcLpROcITX

1To HE upper house of the Delaware Legislature has just passed
an automobile reciprocity bill. 1t provides that on register
ing with the American Automobile Association automobiles
from other States, after proper Identification, shall be admitted free
to travel over the roads of Delaware. This privilege is given to the
residents of States that grant reciprocal privileges to Delaware.
There is only one State in the East whose laws forbid reciprocity,
and that is New Jersey. If a citizen of this State motors into Della
ware he will have to pay the full license. He will meet with the
same experience in all the rest of our neighbor States. The bucolc
sentiment is perhaps as influential in Legislation in Delaware as it

Answer-why, to be sure thai is
absurd. But that is not what palmistry

not vice versa. The fingers are Ion

VIM. POINTED FINGER TIPS.


Poetry IN the gas trenches? Inipos-
sible, you will say How can SO DELI
cate and dainty a product as poetry
thrive in the noisome atmosphere OF
the trenches where roughness and un-
couthness are at home, and nothing
akin to refinement Is to be expected?
And yet Tony Gastone, the trench dig
ger. was a poet.
Not that he vas able to write pol
ished verses with rhyme and rhythm
in perfect adjustment to lofty ideas
or sublime sentiments. No, not quite
all Of that; but yet a poet.
For Tony's heart was attuned to
nature and nothing that craved for
sympathy eve appealed to him In vain.
His hands were horny but his soul was
full of tender pity for everything that
suffered, and even the means in the
wind filled him with sadness as If they
were the actual outpourings of q being
in agony.
A little bird, overcome by the fumes
Of gas. once fell at Tony's feet while
he was digging In the trench. Drop
ping his pick, the big, strong man took
up the helplessly fiuttering little bird
and carried It to where fresher air and
a few sips of pure water soon revived
1t. And then. as the winged visitor
flew away, Tony drew his sleeve across
his eyes and said:
"It was Just that way that my little
boy went away from me last year. He
couldn't stand the rough life. And so
he went away, up there; see where the
little bird is now; way up into heaven
The others in the trench shrugged
their shoulders. Some even tapped
stand the poetry of Tony's grief. If
he had said that his boy had died. they
would not have withheld their sym
pathy. But Tony required a more deli
cate way OF referring to the event
which meant so much more than life to
him. And so his colleagues regarded
him as crazy.
Why am I telling all this? For no
other reason than because Tony. the
digger. had pointed finger tips. This
kind Of fingers is perhaps not seeil
oftener than nee in a century in d
gas trench. IL as often as that. For
trench digging is not conducive to the
development Of the poetic vein, and
pointed fingers are an infallible indi-
cation of the very highest kind OF q
poetical nature.
Rarely. indeed, are pointed finger tips
seen on mems hands at all. They arc
not eve common among women. And 1t
is fortunate FOR humanity-or, perhaps,
unfortunate, according to the point of
view-that these tips are so rare! For
their possessors are dreamy. and live
entirely In q mental realm with their
hearts ever far away from the hustle
and hustle of the ~workaday world.
Money never has the same degre OF
Importance to them that things OF
beauty have. They have the artistic
instinct, and d-yeil for the most part
In dream1and. Coarse or even very
practical surroundings make them
chafe and feel unhappy. They are
keyed on too high q plane for every
day life. They are visionarfes, and
Utopia Is their native land.
And SO It Is easy to imagine how
unhappy poor Tony felt amid the un-
couth surroundings into which rOr-
tunes caprice had cast him. Poor fell
low, he died Of a broken heart. And
his fellows shrugged their shoulders
and tapped their foreheads and felt
perhaps relieved when he was gone.

TO be thus slaughtered in the house of friends is exasperating.
And the slaughter is for good. The incoming House of Represent

keep the tariff board alive. If the President had been consulted
he would probably have advised to let the appropriation go over
to the extra session and stand by the tariff board.

Having Taken Securities.

KANSAS CITY, July l5.-Mrs. Mar

Circuit Court here to-day for $l42, 900
against Miss Harriet Byington to cover
POPULATIONS charged against Miss By
ington while serving as companion and
h%ousekeeper to Mrs. Armour.
The first lntimation the public received
concerning speculations against Mrs. Ar
mour came about three months ago.
when a story was published that $4,000
In bonds and securities had disappeared
from Mrs. Armour's safety deposit box
at the New England National Bank Of
this city.
The fact that the majority OF the busl-
ness of Mrs. Armour's household was
conducted by Mrs. Armour's companion,
nurse and ~housekeeper. and the fact
that this companion held the keys to
Mrs. Armour's safe deposit box, was
mentioned, but the name of the COM
| panion was kept secret. Mrs. Armour
refused to believe any charges against
Miss Byington. Meanwhile new discov-
cries increased the amount OF missing
securities until the Armour attorneys
stated that 1t was $4,000,
Under pressure brought to bear by
friends of Mrs. Armour and despite the
expressed confidence OF her EMPLOYER.
Miss Byington several days after the
discovery OF the populations confessed
that during the three years she had
