speed boys?) and settle down and behave
and be good And the fastest thing We
ever. by the acutest stretch of the mag
inaticn, could have imagined CT him was
that the day ever would or could dawn
when he'd be caught red-handed in the
very act of pushing a baby carriage.
But there he was, pushing it all right,
and pushing it like somebody that
knew all about pushing perambulators
He didn't even look sheepish when we
nailed him in the act Looked, on the
contrary, like as if pushing baby ear
riages was part of the regular job that
he was born and brought up To do. Not
only that, but he tucked the baby In with
great and skillful sClicitude, and handed
it its milk bottle, and did the goo-goo
thing at it, and, in brief. went right
through with the job like a dead-game.
Later on we found out that he's been be-
having like a major (aren't majors al
ways supposed to behaveo ever since the
day of his marriage, and that he is the
settledest-downest young male person
within a radius of many leagues of his
habitation.
Now, we know lot of cases just
like that: cases of fellows pushing
baby carriages who, as we judged
them before they ever stood up and
had the knotty words pronounced over
them, we'd never In the wide world
have thought it of.
Whereas. on the contrary. we've seen
and heard. time and again. instances
where chaps who, before their mar
riage. We're just the modelest and cor
rectest young fellers that ever lived
and breathed bucked hard and effec
tually when their little wives mildly
requested them to take baby out in
the baby carriage for an airing. =
Their reply to that mild request has
been generally. in essence. the straight
nix stuff. They wanted to be nice and
agreeable and good husbands and faith
ers, they said, and, indeed, they hoped
they were; they were willing to wear the
same suit of clothes for twelve years and
to work nights To dig for the rent man and
the installment man and all like that stuff
for the sake of the happy eyed little wife
and the cute little thing lying in the crib.
But push a baby carriage in plain sight
of the world and all the folks? Nix,
dawlink: oh. nix-niX on that!
And we can't figure it.. The rough
stuph boy pushes the baby carriage and
is unafraid and unashamed. whereas the
one who, before leaning upon the altar
rail. was just pattern of propriety and
things can't be mad" to push baby

course, but there sure must be some
way of explaining it. c. L. c.

THE MOTIVE POWER
OF BABY CARRIAGES

First asking pardon for presuming to
enter upon the domain of psychology.
please permit this little psychological
question:
Why is it that the man who pushes a
baby carriage is always one of those peo-
pie who, having been such warm
member" and hot card before his mar
riage, might naturally be imagined to be
the last human being of the male persua-
sion on the globe who'd be supposed to
push a baby carriage?
This, we are entirely aware isn't an
easy one. but we are asking it anyhow,
just for general results.
We've been noticing the phenomenon
for years and years. 1t is perfectly we'll
known that not every young father, no
matter how fond he may be of his first
progeny. will push a baby carriage Most
Of 'em, in truth. get balky when it comes
to doing that. They can't see it. They'll
do everything else in the wide world for
the comfort. happiness and security of
the little thing in the crib-except push it
around in paby carriage They're afraid
of the kidding Of the fellers it they are
caught doing that. Not that there's any
thing ignoble, un'stan', i'll pushing a
baby carriage. Nunno, nunno! We're
not presumins, to intimate any such a
thing. But-er-somehow-w they just
balk, that's all, a great many of them.
But the bakers, oddly enough, are the
young pops who are known and always
have been known for the Sedi-teneSs of
their ante-nuptial lives: the correct, easy
sailing we'll behaved ones.
Let us explain.
A little while ago. in a park, we came
upon a young man pushing baby car
riagc We used to know that young man
before he was married. eve did not
know, until we saw him pushing the baby
carriage, that he had been married)
Now, that young mans initial velocity
used to be so great that We used to won

those Speed Boys. plus. He only hit the
most altitudinous places in his flights,
and then he only rested on one leg for
a little while before he began to hit the
high and lofty spots some more Lille

either We used TO wonder If there could
be million-to-one chance that that
young man ever would wake up and set
tie down. (Somehow, this doesn't sound
right: because when you settle down you

CARING for consumntlves.

There are now four special methods
by which consumptive workingmen in
the United States are being cared for
In such cities as Albany, Elmira and
Binghamton. N. Y, the unions support
a separate pavilion or hospital In
cities like Hartford, New Britain and
South Manchester, Conn.,, the work
men contribute towards the mainte-
nance of a fund for the care of con-
sumptives. The employers also con-
tribute to these funds. There are also
two national sanatoria for the treat
ment Of tuberculosis owned and oper-
ated by labor unions; one by the In
ternational Typographical union. and
the other by the Printing Pressmen
and Assistants union. In Massachu-
setts, Illinois and elsewhere large cor
porations and manufacturers have
agreed voluntarily to care for all their
consumptive employees for limited
length of time.
