HERE'S A BIG FAMILY
MOTHER AND HER THIRTEEN
BABIES START SENSATION.
All the Youngsters Were Under Five
Years and Conductor Of Train Mis-
took Family for Sunday
School Picnic.

Darlington, n. D.-The 500 line
hauled the record family of the world
through here on enc of it's fast trains
a few days since. Thirteen children
two pairs of twins and three sets OF
triplets-all boys and all born within
the last five years is the record of
Mr.. and Mrs. Frank Scott, erstwhile
of Alberta, British Northwest, but now
of Oklahoma. where they will make
their future home. Since the mem
bers of the Scott family commenced to
move. they have taxed the passenger
equipment of a number of railroad
systems and have given several pas
senger conductors nervous prostration
to say nothing of the anxiety caused
station agents at transfer points.
Frank Scott left Alberta last fall
and went to Oklahoma, where he was
lucky enough to get in at land draw
Ing and win 100 acres. Now the fam
lily has followed, passing through this
city The mother and thirteen little
SCOTS left Alberta and came by way
of St. Paul and Minneapolis, the four
teen riding 5000 miles on one first
class ticket. which is considered rec
ord by railroad men.
AS Conductor Jarvis entered the
train he looked down the aisle OF one
of the coaches and seeing the Scott
family, remarked to himself: Here's
a Sunday school picnic" When the
train was under way and Conductor
Jarvis went through the cars to take
up tickets, he came upon the Scott
family, the mother and children scat
tered over five seats. Stopping In
front of the mother, Mrs. Scott passed
up one ticket. calling for the transpor
tation of one person and no more
Looking about. with wave of the
hand, Conductor Jarvis asked
Are these yours? If they are, you
will have to pay for some of them
You can't carry the inmates Of an or
phan asylum on one ticket"
Here Mrs. Scott proved that she was
equal to the occasion and asked:
Don't the rules of the road provide
that all children under years of age
shall ride free. when accompanied BY
a parent?"
Sure" responded the conductor
but this is no family; it's school oil
an outing, and you will have to pa,
half fare for half dozen or more"
To prove that 1t was family and M
picnic, Mrs. Scott went down into {

WHEN WRONG
WAS RIGHT
By ANNA MUNDSON

Dick Doring flung the book into the
corner where the evening paper al
ready lay, crumpled and despised.
Hopefully he glanced at the clock, but
the hands were still low on the dial.
II was not yet 1880. though It seemed
fully an hour since he had last looked
up to see the hands at twenty min
utes past
II was too early In the season to
have fire. too early to have the win
dows closed. but the glass was down
and the shades we're drawn. and the
rain beat mournfully against the
panes.
There were times when Doring liked
to sit beside the fire with book and
his pipe, and hear tie big drops splash
against the sash. But that was when
he was comfortable In mind and body,
and the suggestion of the discomfort
outside heightened the sense OF COIL
ness within. Tonight he was not COM
Portable in mind and this conditions
was reflected In his physical being.
He had dined early because there
was nothing else TO do, and now he
found the paper dull and the books
which. in other times. were his favor
ties now actually boring him. He did
not feel like dressing and going to the
thcater-all plays were Of love; of love
that ended happily. and therefore they
were not true to life. Look at his own
experienced Just because he had told
Lena Clayton that her newest fall
dress made her look ten years older,
there had been a quarrel and for the
fifth time she had given back the ring
and had burst into tears. There was
no longer any novelty in receiving his
ring back, and her tears were always
an accompaniment to the ceremony.

penitence before the first round tear

herald OF the food to come-had made
its journey down her rounded cheek
This time he had been thoroughly out
of humor with himself, Lena and the
world in general. He had slipped the
ring into his pocket and had told her
that IL she wanted It again she could
ask for it, as various unpleasant
things would happen to him before he
would make any more overtures.
SO matters had stood for more thaa
three weeks. Dick told himself that
Lena would never be the first to speak,
and he also tried miserably to convince
himself that 1t would be insane to hui
NOR her by abasing himself again. He
explained to himself that he was for
ever apologizing-which was very true
and he neglected to add that always
the fault was his-which was equally
the truth.
More than once, despite this new
determination, he had been tempted
to call up. He had even taken up
the receiver OF the telephone to get
connection. but the voice of the op
orator who served the switchboard OF
the apartment house had broken the
charm, and he had muttered some
thing about having changed his mind
and had replaced the receiver on the
hook.
Now he rose from his chair and ap
preached the telephone. The shiny
black box held interesting possibili
ties. In Ave minutes he could gair
speech with Lena without going oui

could set at rest all doubts and wor
