The Baby Show

twas hot July day that the ladies of the
parish had chosen for the church Bazaar.
The young mothers had deposited their
cherubs in row to await the Judges plea
sure, and had themselves sauntered off to
enjoy cooling ices and sweets, and other
attractive :" not good for babies"
Dear me", said Baby Lou, Aren't they
4 long time coming9 I'm sure think
judges should be prompt, and not keep US
waiting here to be stared at. This pillow
is slipping down at my back, and I'm sure
it's disarranging my bonnet besides making
me very uncomfortable"
A casual passerby might have thought
that Baby Lou only said "goo-g-goo". but
the other "show babies"underStood.
"T can't stand this much longer and keep
my temper unruffled"I volunteered red
haired Hapless henry. Henry's temper
was noted for being easily ruffled. This
prickly heat has been making my life unen-
durable for several days"
"Canth you thee I'm thIippin', walled
tiny Marie. "Pm afraid I'll thlip off thith
theat."
"Oh, never mind felleFs," cheered Sunny
Jim, and he placed a comforting arm A.
round MaIie's shoulder which afforded
her some safety from falling even though 1t
unbalanced her so that her feet stuck up
and waved uncertainty in the air. Jim
was the biggest of the group and his only
claims to beauty were two teeth which he
exhibited in an amiable grin to all who
poked their fingers at him.
MY mother always leaves pins unfasten-
ed, ,"confided Sturdy Jerry,as he battled
manfuily to keep the tears from overflow
ing his blueeyes. Pve atooth coming, too,
and my rubber ring has fallen away down
out of reach, and do want to bite it so
bad" A big tear splashed on Jerry's haad-
Somely embroidered yoke.
The pillow behind Baby Lou crushed
menacingly over her head so that the blue
bows that should have stood partly out
from each side of her dainty chin shifted
beneath it in strangiing fashion

thoroughly frightened. :" "AsaEanaI mammal

sudden shower clouding his sunny count

Sturdy Jerry, fortitude giving way to hope
less misery.
Just then the judges appeared. "WelI,
well,how's this2" said the minister as he
viewed the fearful supplicants.

having settled it, she passed on.

washington, May LIN these
days of shifting politics we hear
much of 1.-The great personal sa:ri-
fee" uen are making in behalf of
their party and the country by ac-
cepting federal positions. 1t is
much rarer to hear of men decIin-
ing position at great personal sacri-
fice in the same behalf.
This observation is excited by
the case of Joseph r Wilson, of
Nashville, Tenn, only brother of
President Woodrow Wilson,.
Years ago, before Woodrow Will
son was ever thought of for presi-
dent. Joe Wilson worked as gener-
al reporter for the local paper in
!. Clarksville, Tenn, where his father
was president of the Southwestern
Presbyterian University. Joe, in
his humble occupation Of collect
ing items for the local and personal
columns of the paper, had great
journalistic ambition. 1t was to be
sent to Washington as political
correspondent for some city news
paper. and to sway national affairs
by his writings.
worked hard. With Scotch
Thrift characteristic of his family,
he SAT- his money until he bought
the ,ClMksville paper. His father
died And then, as a step toward
realizing his ultimate ambition, he
sold his newspaper plant and took
q position on the Nashville Banner.
There was drudgery in his new
work, but he toiled faithfully until
he was made state political report
er His spirits bounded This would
be the apprenticeship that would
earn him the position of Washing
ton correspondent of the Banner
Painstakingly, he complied a card
i6dex of Tennessee politicians, and

they had never heen covered" be-
fore ...... ... ..
This work won him advancement,
but advancement which seemed to
him off the beaten trail between
the Banner office and the Press
Gallery in Washington. He was
made the city editor Of the Ban
nsr. Still he diG not complain
since the new job brought an in
crease in salary to $25 per week.
He resolved to work faithfully ESQ
as to be the most available man in
case there should be a vacancy in
the Banners Washington office.
Then, in two or three years,
things happened. Woodrow Wilson
became president, and Joe Wilson'S
salary had grown to $35 per week.
Nashville suddenly realized that she
E'SRd the Presidents only brother.
The rest Of the country realized 1t,
too. Joe Wilson's mail grew heavy.
Out of an envelope tumbled an
offer from New York insurance
company at a salary Of $12,000 per
year. This letter was cast into
deep s&de lite later by q letter
from a New York trust company

Mosciska Proves Great
Success In - raviata :

Maria Mosciska proved her right
last night to be classed as one of the
real stars of the Western Metropoli-
tan Opera company. She sang the role
of violetta in Verdi's '.Traviata' and
invested 1t with a human quality one
would hardly expect to find in this
typically forid part. Mosciska has
youth and freshness In her voice and
acting. She appears reluctant to drop
the character she is assuming and
answer applause. which Is evidently
sort of sincere effort to carry out
the dramatic continuity of the opera
without a break.
Mosciska put splendid artistry,
vocal and histrionic, into her work.
Perhaps the numbers that stood out
just a little more than the rest were
the final aria in the first act, All,
fors lui," and the "Addio! del pas
sato" of the last act, sung by the
dying violetta at her dressing table.
In both numbers the artist got tre-
mendous round of applause. but artis-
tically denied all encores.
