Special Correspondent Of The Washington Herald
New York, Jan. 7.-Trixie Friganza,
who admits she Is not only fat but also
hefty, was strolling among the crowds
Of Broadway the other day when she
met Mike Leavitt, who Is running the
wrestling matches to which the society
buds are fiocking.
She asked him why he hadn't invited
her to appear on the Manhattan stage
in connection with his show. You know,
Mike" she said I'D crawl through a
gaspipe for you"
say" replied Mike. with the fire Of
inspiration in his eyes, do that down
there as a curtain raiser. will you? 1t
would be the hit OF the BILL
Turning on her heel, her eyes arched
scornful and her head tilted at a dis
daining angle, Miss Friganza walked
right away from there.
The writer Of these little daily New
York chronicles CHANGED to be strolling
on Fifth Avenue the other afternoon
although his tastes are more Broadway
esque. Suddenly he stopped in his tracks.
Coming toward him were two people
whose faces he had often seen in the
public prints but he couldn't place them.
Then he heard a cabbie shout to a
chauffeur: pipe! There's the Kelly girl
and Davis" So the writer whirled about
and followed them for a block for he has
never gotten over being what Broadway
pleases to term a hick.
Eugenia Kelly Is all the sob writers
have said-a beautiful. demure looking
elegantly dressed girt and one could
never associate her with Al Davis as he
looked to US. Davis could easily be
taken for the type of men who used to
conduct the lemonade emporium at the
country fairs. His legs are bowed, his
face tanned and his clothes needed the
pressing iron. He wore one of those yell
lowish hats, dented on four sides and SO
popular among our soldiers during the
Spanish American war.

James E. Lough, professor of expert
mental psychology of the New York Uni
versity has taken a scientific interest in
the popular street songs Of the people.
He says that popular songs are the lyri-
cal manifestations of popular sentiment
and emotion and that there is no better
way to feel the pulse Of the people than
through song.
Before the war the jingling devil-may-
care songs were popular. Songs that
were senseless and without rhyme or rea-
son, and then came the war and changed
the popular taste.
"Tipperary" was the first example of
song psychology. There wasn't much to
the song but it caught on because 1t
breathed a spirit of battles and SOL
diers. Then came the song Mother
which expresses the sentimental strug-
gle to maintain home and a war-strick-
en- world was, psychologically speaking,
ready for it-and so there you are.

When he learned that she had again been eating them and asked her about it, she denied doing so and this was what brought on the use of the switch. Defendant furt h CT testified that when child ate green apples or anything of that nature she frequently went into spasms and that 1t was for the child's own good and in an effort to break her of the habit that induced him to apply the treat ment to which he resorted. The switches used were this year S growth of mulberry sprouts and defendant stated that the reason he had three sprouts was that he thought three would be more inn pressive than one. He stated that the girl was nearly six years old and that she had been with them for about four years. He denied whipping the child unmercifully.
 Dr. Thomas Douglass was next called to the stand and testified that on June lst the child was brought to his office and upon examination he failed to find any evidence of having been cruelty whipped, with the exception of a mark on the right leg which could have been caused by the striking with the end of a switch. He also stated that the child was very frail and that about three months ago he was called to the Scheffer home to see the child who at that time was having spasms brought on by eating
