HIS HAPP|EsT DAY
(CopyTight. 1915. BY ". 6. Chapman.)
BY GRACE PAUL.

NSSSSssoAssp
The Lonely Man had decided to take
. days holiday in the country. He
had gone 50 far northward that he had
reached the city limits; then he had
taken a ferry boat across the river
and come to a suburban street car.
He got in, and presently, for the first
time In many years, he saw country
real country, with trees and flowers
and singing birds.
There remained only one other pas
senger when the car passed Green
field. She was~a girl Of about seven
and twenty. Her hair was brown,
her eyes gray, her figure slight. Her
dress was neat. but worn, and the
purse from which she extracted the
coin had seen better days. The Lone
ly Man watched her when he thought
she was not observing him.
The Lonely Man was between thir-
ty-five and forty. Once, years before,
he would have thrilled with the sense
of adventure. For the girl, like him.
self, was obviously holiday-making.
All OUT" announced the conductor
impersonally.
The car stopped at the end of a
country road, and the conductor be-
gan to reverse the seats. There was
not house in sight, but trees every
where, and birds, and tall flowers that
nodded by the wayside.
The man and the girl stood side by
side in the roadway, and the car ran
back until 1t disappeared in the dis
lance.
Il beg your pardon said the girl,
but how far Is it to Northwood?"
The man raised his hat. 81 don't
know" he answered Il have never
been here before"
Neither have l." answered the girl,

one of the largest Presbyterian
churches in Manhattan, and during
that time he was won for himself the
title of First aid to Cupid" He has
ofliciated at record number of mar
riages, and he is particularly inter-
ested in providing a healthful social
life for the young people in this par
ish.
Marriage is lottery for every
person who goes into it with the idea
of getting something out of it, of de-
irving some material advantage. The
man or woman who marries for ply
steal, social or financial considera-
lions simply buys ticket in the
matrimonial lottery, and-as with
any similar device-draws blank
in nine cases out of ten.
"And yet the one right and splen-
did reason for marriage is love. The
one question which each prospective
bride and bridegroom should ask is:
"Do | really love this man or this
woman with love that is neither
fancy nor infatuation, but deep call
ing unto deep?" The person who
once experiences this love will have
no difficulty in recognizing it and
need have no fear that it will moi
last. The marriage based on it is n,
] lottery for man or woman"

To Use Coffee
Instead of LIQUORS
(By Associated Press. }

London, June 17-Coffee( as it is
made and sold in America, and in
some continental countries, will be
the beverage on which the National
Peoples Palace Association will
, chiefly depend in the campaign it
has started against alcoholic liquors
in the United Kingdom.
"Such coffee" said a member Of
the managing committee, pure,
strong, with or without milk, is
practically unobtainable in this
country, either through the ordinary
catering trade or in refreshment
rooms, hotels or public houses, yet
it is a cheap, wholesome and satisfy
ing stimulent which can be easily
sold over the bar counter at a penny
a cup"
Since the House of Commons re-
fused to sanction Lloyd Georges
proposed root and branch methods
of dealing with the liquor question
which has become such a vital one
for this country, a great impetus mas
been given to various movements for
combating the lure of the public
house by providing counter attrac-
tions from which all intoxicants
will be barred. Chief among these
is the National Peoples Palace AS
ISOLATION which has received the
benediction of both Lloyd George
and Bonar Law.
According to it's program it will
not be long before every munition
worker will have temperance bev-
erage at his elbow if he wants it
1t proposes to establish temperance
canteens in all armament factories
and has already started several on
the Tyne. And in every town of i'm
portance it plans to open one or
more palaces as they are grandil-
oquently termed, but which will be
virtually non-alcoholic public houses.
They will provide light refreshments
at very moderate prices, coffee,
which is to be their speciality, tea
and various soft drinks" Music
will also be furnished without extra
charge and facilities for playing
dominoes, checkers and other harm
less games.
eve do not advocate a pauperiz-
ing policy" said one of the leaders
of the movement. "The working
classes have a great earning power
and require fair-dealing, not charity.
| The Association is therefore to be
worked on a commercial basis, Civ,
ing the workers full value for their
money, but also earning for their
shareholders fair return for their
| investment"

Gold in the SCOT,

Mule Drinks at Bar.

A mule standing up at the bar with
its two front feet resting On the top
rail was the sight presented to patrons
Of saloon in the business district.
The animal, which had been secured
by Municipal Court Bailiff Blythe on a
writ of replevin, was being taken to a
stable. Blythe had stepped into the
saloon to get glass of beer. He left
the animal in charge of a man out.

Hardly had the beer been drawn
when Blythe heard commotion at the
side door and in came the mule. All
efforts to get it to leave proved futile
until 1t had been given four glasses
Of beer.-Cincinnati (Ohio) Dispatch

Miami Boys Not
Implicated In
Annapolis Scandal

Miami, June 17-Following the
exposureat the U. S. Naval Academy
the past week there has been more
than ordinary interest shown by
tn friends of the students at least
two of whom claim Miami as their
home, Midshipmen Chas. D. Leffler,
Jr., and Guy B. Hoover.
From adAfces received locally it
appears the disclosures broke out of
clear sky to members of the third
and fourth classes, to which these
young men belonged, as according
to the investigations none Of the
questions claimed to have been stol-
en- were of value or passed among
members of these classes. Members
of the scond and graduating classes
are outspoken in their belief that
they had had copies of old test and
REORGANIZATION papers, and in no
wise were they making use of the
questions and answers of the current
examination.
In the meantime the midshipmen
innocent of the charges feel that
they are suffering unduly, but are
stationed on their respective ships
in Chesapeake bay about five miles
from the academy wharves, and
ready to sail on the final report Of
the board of inquiry to Secretary
Daniels and his release. Midship-
man Hoover will be on the Missouri,
the fia2 ship of the squadron, and
Midshipman Leffler on the Ohio, and
after clearing the Virginia capes
will proceed to the U. S. Naval sta
tion at Guantanamo in eastern Cuba
and from there through the Panama
canal to points on the Pacific coast.

the road.
The girl turned and began to walk
in the direction that the man indicat-

her. but presently, realizing the abb
surdity of their position, he took
courage to address her.

diffidently.

scrutiny. In spite of her apparent in

All at once they came upon lit

couple of chairs stood on the porch.
The landlord stood in the doorway,
flourishing a napkin. The invitation
was SO obvious that they looked az
each other and laughed, and then sat
down.
They exchanged condolences. Her
name was Doris, and she had no rela-

NEW YORK DAY BY DAY
By Charles Henry Adams

New York, June 17-'In all
seriousness, is marriage a lottery?"
That is the question which Dr.. A.
Edwin Keigwin asked and answered
for the June brides at the West En-
Presbyterian Church, Amsterdam
Avenue and One Hundredth and
Fifth Street. And it is the question
which we discussed together after
the service, just because so many
brides and bridegrooms everywhere
are somewhat troubled about the
answer.
Dr. Keigwin is unusually well fit

ten years he has been at the head of

In one of the industrial towns in
South Wales a workman met With a
serious accident. The doctor was sent
for, and came and examined him, had
him bandaged and carried home on a

After he was put to bed the doctor
told his wife to give him sixpenny-
worth of brandy when he came to him.

wife told the daughter to run and

her father.
