0AYETY

Two clever one-act musical comedies
will be offered by the Girls of the Gay
White Way at the Gayety this week

nent Company's production will be the
! current attraction. The comedies are
the work of Don Roth, Ed Ray. Irving
Berlin and Harry Won Tilzer, who are
responsible for the twenty-seven
musical numbers of the score. The
name Of Berlin insures catchy airs,
with lots of turkey trot dancing
measures, for Berlin is responsible for
more big ragtime successes than any
other living composer. There is a cast
Of fifty-five people, forty of whom
constitute a singing and dancing
chorus of shapely girls. Among the
principals are James Rowland, Harry
d. Ward, Sam Hearn, Ben Ryan, Ed
Jerome. Helen \. Ely, Alma Fern. Hat
tie Raymond, Maudie Heath, Gertie
DeMilt, and thirty others.
The general costuming of the pro-
duction has been given careful atten-
ton, and there is no doubt but it is
one Of the most handsomely gowned
shows playing the burlesque houses.

they have to mix with society composed
almost entirely of undesirables. Many a
young man, who has watched a police
man loaing grandly past hundred fruit
stands has envied him his carefree
existence. But that very night the Nc
CURE street gang may lay for this same
policeman and by the time he has called
the patrol he will look like t. : wreck of
the Hesperus.
Policemen lead uncertain lives, and are
not a good insurance risk. Because of
this the same all-wise governments have
equipped them with large clubs and
magazine revolvers. 1t is much easier to
club a man first and argue with him
later, and so the police have become one
of our great city perils. They do things
better over in England. There the po-
liceman goes about armed only with a
soft answer and a note book. One can
kick a London policeman in the shins
without having his head beaten off down
te his ears. But the next day he will
90 to the works for a month for resisting
an officer.
IF American cities took more pains to
preserve the sanetity of the policeman's
person they would not have to make him
such calamity to the widow and or
phans of the casual wrong doer.-(Copy-

The fire, according to a stereotyper.

TAFT AND THE
WORLDS SERIES
He Stopped Atlantic wireless Until
He Could Get the ScOre-Great
Interest in Coming Contest.

Interest I'm Coming Contest.
Washington. D. C. Oct president
Taft once tied 10 the wireless of the
Atlantic coast while he got the score
and other information from a worlds
series ball game. The story was re-
called here today while fans were dis
cUssing the coming worlds series,
which fifty thousand people are anx-
iouslv awaiting to open tomorrow.
During the worlds series last year
former president Taft. then in office,
was staying at Newport, R. L. during
the worlds series. He desired to hear
the latest score, and the following
message was sent to the government
station by the Mayflower: The pres
ident would like the baseball score"
The answer came back by wireless,
inning after inning. The president
asked why Cady was substituted for
Carrigan and he was informed
When the final score was flashed by
wireless, the president asked for the
names of the players making the runs,
the hits and errors and other 1nfor-
nation, which was given him. Every
station ashore and afloat kept out of
the air while the president was be-
ing given the baseball news
Nothing causes more interest than
a worlds series struggle. According
to the census of 1910 there are nearly
90 900, 900 people in the United States
1t is safe to say that at least nifty
millions of these persons will watch
of the gigantic struggle.
The demand for the news IS so
great that the telegraph companies
have made preparations to carry bull
Ietins of the progress of the games
into every little village in the United
States, Canada and Cuba
It is estimated that over ten thou
sand telegraph creators will be re-
quired to send, receive and relay the
reports of the games. At least one
hundred wires will be strung into
each of the ball parks, and these viii
reach out into relay wires that VIII
cover the entire country and Canada
News will also be flashed BY wireless
and cable to Europe, Cuba and every
other place where the game is played.
Reservations will be made at bOth
fields to handle from ESQ to goo spec
ial writers in addition to the regular
baseball reporters The morning
newspaper men. who will not use the
wires during the game will keep them
hot at night. and it viii require tull

MS lie hunting trouble.
Policemen draw from sos to 500 a
month, but can ride free on the street
cars. A good policeman cannot save
much money, especially if the campaign
expenses of the mayor are heavy. But a
poor policeman who takes his conscience
out in the back yard and kills it care
fully with club before gong to work
can often retire in a few years with
several hundred thousand dollars.
Policemen were invented to guard So
ciety against itself. The policeman's
duty is to suppress riots, disorders,
crime and Joy riding. He is also supposed
to give chase to the fleeing hold-up man
and run him gasping to earth. In or
der to fit him for this pursuit the all
wise governments of our cities have
dressed him in 10 pound coat with four
acres of tail to it, and large, thick
brOgans. To watch Il policeman chasing
a slim young Pickpocket is like watch
ing an automobile truck trying to run
down an aeroplane and corner it in an
alley.
Policemen are admitted free to the
theaters and ball games, and always get
a front seat at all prominent catas-
trophies. In return for this, however,

Jerome
: By Walt Mason

Jerome, his gripsacks stuffed with law,
keeps on the trail of Harry Thaw
Whenever Harry fees the coop, Jerome
lets out a mighty whoop, and chucks
some statutes in his grip, and goes upon
flying trip. No other aim in life has
he than Just to chase poor Harry T., and
legislate him into jail whenever he has
hit the trail When Thaw is safe in don
Jon keep, Jerome drops out and goes to
sleep, remaining torpid in his den, till
Harry Thaw cuts loose again. We never
hear of Bill Jerome at other times-he
STAYS at home; of neither good nor i'll
report, he cuts no ice in camp or court.
One aim alone in life is his-to rip
around and make things whiz, and spring
law to fare you well whenever Harry
Jumps his cell. The most of us must
toll and plan, and bear the ancient
curse of man, to gain the things we eat
and wear, the midnight couch, the eve
ming chair, and dTeaTy is the path we
wend. with little largess in the end. But
this Jerome, who does not toll, who does
not burn the midnight oil, who does not
reap or thrcsh the straw, but merely
chases Harry Thaw, in royal purple he Is
dressed, and has large diamonds on his
chest Our toll Is all of small avail

m Girls of Lures
Warn
No Girl should Grow to Marriage
able Age and Not Know the
Truths of Life.
By ella Wheeler Wilcox

IT is more than probable that
many parents of young girls
Il Will read this article and consider
it an improper" subject for discus
sion.
And it is more than probable that
several of these daughters will read
it and regard it as their own exper-
fence, and wonder how their secret be-
came known.
This one young woman whose story
is given here has arrived at a mar
riageable age and is betrothed to the
man Of ner choice
He Is several years her senior but
says he will not be in a position to
marry and establish a home for two
years
He has given the girl a ring and
declares he is most anxious to make
her his wife.
Meantime he asks her to consider
hersen his wife in reality now, and
to show her confidence in him BY Civ
ing him all the privileges of that holy
state.
He assures her that her refusal is
a proof that she does not really love
and trust him; that she doubts his
honor and his word.
He also assures her that all engaged
people regard the matter from his
standpoint. and that her conduct is
prudish and silly.
All over the world such men are to
be found.
It is their method of testing the
weaker sex.
In many small country towns where
American girls are unchaperoned and
unprotected by foolish parents, and
allowed to go about freely with their
admires, a LOthariO of this order
is not infrequently able to engage
several trusting girls at one time,
under strict vows of secrecy and on
the plea that financial or family cir
cumstances are such that marriage
is out of the question for years to
come.
This type of man almost invaria-
bly, demands the full confidence and
proof of love and trust" as he terms
IT. of each of his secret fiancees.
And. as a rule, he never marries any
one of them.
He disappears from the town after
a time and establishes himself in
pastures new
The Rev RichesOn was a man of
this type, but he paid for his amuse-
ment in the electric chair
It seems a sad commentary on the
mothers of the land that any girl
couIG grow 10 marriageabIe ass
and not know the truths of life and
the facts of the relations of the sexes
sufficiently to warn her from listen
ing to men Of this type No girl
whose mother talks to her Familiarity,
sweetly. tenderly and purely on these
themes could believe such man was
honest or to be trusted.
She would know from the moment
he made such a proposal to her that
he was unworthy of her
