Cook Was a Linguist

Jack returned home from college,
where he had won high honors as q
student of ancient languages. but he
pleaded ignorance one day when his
young sister asked him to translate
which read thus: "Con sultu sabo
utyo urey es." Jack struggled man
fully with 1t for several minutes and
gave 1t up. at isn't good Latin" he
said. There are some words in II
that are Latin. The others aren't
anyhow. 1t doesn't make sense"
THAT is what said" replied the
sister, "but cook translates 1t with
out any trouble. She says it means

Lost Pair Of Legs, Man Held on Theft
CHARGE


NEW YORK, April ga pair OF
legs got James Cassidy. of 114S Flat
bush avenue, Brooklyn, into serious
trouble yesterday. For their loss he
was held in $1,000 bail by Magistrate
Nolan, in West Side Police Court.
Mrs. Emmy Stages, of % West Six
ty-sxth street, was the complainant.
She is treasurer of the Aluminium
Rawhide Artificial Limb Company, of
1881 Broadway. and told the court
that more than two weeks ago she
gave two legs worth $1s5 to the pris-
oner to show to a prospective GUS
toner.
Cassidy said he had the limbs in
a suitcase, but when he put them
down to talk to a man in Broadway
they walked away At least, the suit
case had disappeared when he looked
for it. He was afraid to go back
without the legs, he added, and had
been looking for them since.

different from the other, the only
similarity being something in COM

the matter of length. See the pre-

PHILADELPHIA, April 22.-Hun-
dreds OF persons prominent in Phila-
delphia society who had expected In
vltations to the wedding of Cordelia
Biddle and Angler Buchanan Duke,
of New York, son of the wealthy to-
bacco man, which will take place
here next Wednesday, felt they had
been sighted when they did not re-
ceive tho invitations.
They were reassured yesterday
when they received formal printed
announcements from Mr.. and Mrs.
A. ]. Drexel Biddle, parents of Miss
Biddle, that the invitations had been
mailed April 2, but that a great num-
Der OF them had been lost in the
Philadelphia postoff1ce.

the candidates to get votes for any
discreditable method was further en-
riched through Thompson's resurrec-
tion of the fraudulent full dinner
pail' argument. He was discreet
enough, however, to refrain from
speaking of this when circumstances
made clear that his audience would
resent it as an insult to intelligence.
Most effective of all was the aid more
or less openly given to Thompson by
the adherents of Mayor Harrison. The
vote for Sweitzer was many thou
sands below the total Democratic
primary vote of few weeks before.
The party has the undeserved good
fortune to escape the calamity which
Sweitzer election would have
brought upon it. The Republican
party must have fallen to lower
moral plane than its most bltterest
enemies have heretofore charged If
the Chicago result may be rightly
construed as an Endorsement Of its
policies.

they leave"
what hours do they work." 1 ask

From in the morning until 11:30.
then they stop until and work from
1 until 8, when they stop for half an
hour for what we call collation., which
is a light lunch. They resume work
at $3.50 and work until 4:45. but not
a girl is at work in the laundry after
4:45."
A little, dark-haired girl, plump and
healthy, came up and greeted the Sis
ter, affectionately, and as she SEEM
ed so very friendly I asked her if she
liked being in the House Of the Good
Shepherd
81 asked to be sent here" she an
swered me, and her beautiful brown
eyes lowered. 81 was sent to the
BrideweIl and I asked that I might
come here instead, because I have
been here before and knew what it
was like"
Outside the laundry, as we passed
along a corridor, saw through a
crack in the door that girl had hid
den behind it, and while I met an
other one of the sisters and talked
with her the girl remained in hiding.

JANE. WHITAKER VISITS THE HOUSE OF THE
2 Good SHEPHERD-HERE'S HER STORY

1ONAD OflEE TEAL
ne BY Jane Whitaker
The principal industry conducted
by the House of the Good Shepherd
is the laundry, in which they do the
work of several restaurants and many
private families.
This laundry is situated in the orig
i9al building. to which many addi-
tons have since been made, and the
sister next conducted me to it.
The room we entered was very
large, very light and the breeze blew
in through several windows. There
were girls sorting work; there were
girls standing in front of managers
placing fiat pieces in one side, while
on the other side girls sat taking the
pressed pieces out b.:
In a room adjoining, the washing
room, a sister volunteered to show
me how the work is done, and led me
to cylinder machines into which the
soiled clothes are put and are cleaned
by electricity. AS she explained the
process one of the girls came over
and smiled and then showed me the
machine into which the clothes are
placed to be starched, which also runs
by electricity, and the wringer that
turns them out practically dry, and
the machine in which the starch is
prepared and the soap, and she SEEM

The floor was absolutely dry; the
room was well ventilated, as were all
the others, and only senior girls and
women work throughout the entire
laundry.
In another room girls were sort
ing finished pieces and placing them
in bins to be wrapped and taken away
by the drivers in the morning.
in another large room women were
ironing with electric irons. Some
women were pressing shirts, others
