Ships Cargo.

A game played by any number OF
persons. some of whom should not have
played it before. Each player is asked
what his ship is laden with and must
mention an article beginning with the
first letter of either of his names.
Thus. if his name is John Smith, ne
may say, for instance, jewsharps, sun
fish, sourlSrout or jackknives.
Those who have not played before
are not told OF this condition ana
whenever they mention something be-
ginning with the wrong letter are told
that the ship cannot enter port with
such a cargo. They are usually much
puzzled by observing that a cargo
proper for one person is not allowable
for another.
This game is played under several
different names. In ca4 form each is
asked, what viii you take to the pic
nicY" and If the answer does not be-
Gin with the proper letter the player
is told that he will not be allowed
to go.

Of Wealthy Frank N. Bates of
Attleboro, Mass.
is PRETTY NEW YORK. GIRL
Was at Hotel Vanderbilt-Bride Went
to Wedding in an Automobile,
the Gift of the
Groom.

Boston. June Drank NJ. Bates, A
wealthy iewelry manufacturer of Attic
boro. and Miss Nancy Brennan, who I'M
til Saturday, last, was in charge of the
rews stand at the hotel Vanderbilt, New
York, were married yesterday afternoon
in Attieboro.
The bride who is 90, is described as
pronounced brunette with wealth of
jet black hair, big brown eyes and
rich olive complexion. She lives with her
parents at 100 West Ninety eighth
street, New York.
Mr.. Bates owns factories in Rhode
Island and Massachusetts and is ire
quentIy in New York on business trips.
He was one of. the first guests to reg
lister when the hotel Vanderbilt was
opened to the public. Then he strollel
over to the newsstand to buy book
and noticed the girl behind the counter
who served him. In few minutes he
came back and bought another book.
Soon he had the nucleus Of small II
brary. That was the beginning OF the
romance.
Then wealthy widower entered the
lists. Before going to the Vanderbilt
Miss Brennan was in charge Of the news
stand at the hotel Belmont. 1t was
there that the widower begged her to
marry him. She objected because of the
difference in their ages.
When Miss Brennan started home one
night, both Bates and the widower were
| on hand to escort her. The rivals paid
costly court. Not a day passed with.
ont bouquets of flowers and boxes OF
sweets and other gifts and the younger
man gradually distaneed his rival.
A few days ago the groom brought
his mother down from Attleboro and in
troduced her to Miss Brennan, and she
was delighted with her sons choice.
A diamond engagement ring, weigh
| ing four carats, diamond necklace witt
| 10 stones, the smallest one carat ane
the largest four carats, and an auto
mobile are the groom's gifts to the
! bride.
Miss Brennan made the journey in Il
from New York yesterday with Arms
Hegan, stenographer, at 249 East ll5tt
! treet to Providence, where the groom
met them and the bridal party continued
on to Attleboro. Miss Regain was brides
maid.

Ernm Brown TO Green.

When all the brown is turning green
The baby buds and leaves are seem
They push their heads out one by one
And nod and smile to greet the sun.
When all the brown is turning green
The little birds their feathers preen.
They love the coming of the spring.
And so they build and nest and sing.
When all the brown is turning green
Over the brook the bushes lean
And dip their fingers in the tide
And scatter drops on every side.
A little child may love them all
The buds. the brook. the birds that CALI
And watch the spring come softly down
To change TO green the earth so brown.
And so like to romp and play
On such warm and sunny day.
I feel as happy as queen

NoRWAY's AMAZING ARMY.
Foot Soldiers Who Travel Thirty Miles
an Hour

One of the most fascinating military
sights In the world is to watch Nor
wegian infantry, mounted on SKIS,
travelling and maneuvering. Even with
rife and full marching kit on his back
a Norwegian soldier, when equipped
with his snowshoes, can travel at thir-
ty miles an hour on slight grade. and
even on level ground he can cover from
fifteen to twenty miles an hour. The
skis used by the Norwegian soldiers
consist Of fat pieces of wood eight feet
to twelve feet long and four and one
half to six inches broad. The Norwe-
gian infantryman is trained from child
hood In the use of skis, and his skill Is
such that he can glide in and out or
the trees without a crackle TO betray
his whereabouts.
When marching orders are sounded
the leader swings out and keeps up a
hot pace. Once in sight of supposed
enemy a pile of snow is quickly seooped
up. and ensconced behind this simple
but effective protection the skiman can
take pot shots at the foe.
During some recent maneuvers in
which 10000 infantrymen participated
the value of skis as an adjunct in war
fare was clearly demonstrated. Over
roads piled so high with snow that cav
airy would have been unable to make
any progress whatever. the infantry
mounted on their skis. covered from
twenty to thirty miles an hour without
mishap of any kind. OF course. II
would be practically impossible in most
! instances for the artillery, with their
heavy guns. to follow the infantry over
the snow clad roads and passes. but fol
skirmishing and scouting ski running
soldiers are extremely valuable.

into my hands; also that it was marked

Science Of Management.

Management, or the science Of exc
cution and administration, is some
thing which requires a specific and
distinct training, not simply superior
degree of skill in the performance OF
subordinate tasks; and our varied re
sources will not be utilized to their
proper and full extent until this is
generally and completely realized. The
ideal manager should have a broad,
liberal education rather than inten-
sive experience in any one line, such
as financier, salesman. producer or ac-
countant. 1t is the writer5s belief that
no adequate foundation for the work
is now being laid in any educational
institution In this country. Here in
struction in fundamental principles is
of primary and in details Of second
ary importance. Great effort should
be made to train a mind to analyze.
to digest, to reason, to compare, to
deduce and, finally, to arrive at we'll
rounded, logical, wise decisions. Much
attention should also be paid to the
art of so communicating ones deci-
sions to the mind Of another, with re-
gard to their degree Of intellectual de-
yelopment, that the desired impress
sion will be created and the desired
result follow as matter of course

FORM CLUBS FOR OLD MEN

a system of preserving the memories
Of its members by means of phono-
graph records of their voices. Now
and again an evening is given to the
stories told by departed comrades.
The men sit and listen almost in awe
to voices out of the past, recounting
fond memories and singing well
known ballads
From this device the Chicago His.
torical society has adopted a plan Of
making imperishable the speeches Of
some of the noted persons of tat
city reproducing them with the aid of
the phonograph for the benefit of fu.
ture generations. The same idea is
being used in other cities for perpetu.
alton of the memory Of great men.
Tho name of the Borrowed Time
club came from the idea that three
score years and ten is the allotted
time of life and that men who have
lived beyond this mark are living on
borrowed time.

Los Angeles.-The founder of the

clay, is in Los Angeles. His idea in
starting the club, which was to bring
little more radiance into the life Of
men past three-score years and ten,
was an innovation and has been
copied In many places.
Mr.. Barclay is living with his sister
at the Pierce apartments for a few
weeks, and already he has stirred up
sufficient interest among men of Los
Angeles to start one Of the unique
clubs in which none but those more
than seventy may belong. He is not,
himself, an aged man, but young one
who took his tip from the converse
tions of men around the stoves of the
grocery stores, in the little shops and
wherever they congregated. These
men were interesting because often
times they threw new light on SUBJ
jects of history, on the lives OF IA.

local character" said Mr.. Barclay
"As a rule they seemed to have no
place to go and were seldom welcome
to the places they went. 1t gave me
the idea that If l could find them a
place to meet, give them an oppor-
tunity of getting together among
themselves, they might be made hap
pier"
