TEN MILLION IN DRAFT CLASS.
There Are 5,372,4oo Single Men and

Washington. - By census bureau
estimate, classifying the more than
100000 men within the military
draft age limit, the number of single
men is placed at 5,372,400 and the
number of married men at 4,545, 900.
The estimate was prepared on 2
basis of a normal increase in popula-
ton since the 1910 census and on the
assumption that the ratio betwes1
married and single men is the same
as at that time.
The classification by chief occupa-
tions is given as follows Agriculture,

TRAPPING OF MONKEYS EASY
Curiosity, Greed and Initiative Faculty
of Animals Furnish Vulnerable
Point Of Attack.

When we see in the street an Or
gan-grinder with his little red-capped
pet monkey, we seldom stop to think
of the animals native home or how 1t
was trapped. AS matter Of fact, the
monkey came from Asia, Africa or
South America. The aforementioned
have nostrils widely separated where
as the old world monkeys have them
close with a narrow nasal septum.
One might readily imagine that the
trapping of monkeys is difficult op-
Grafton. However, nothing could be
further from the truth than this hy-
pothesis. Monkeys are easily caught,
not by heavily built traps, but by
sheer ingenuity and the simplest sort
of articles. A monkey has various vul-
nerable points of attack, so to speak;
and these are cupidity, curiosity, COW
etousness or greed, and a truly Won
derful initiative faculty.
A trapper can take a pair of boots
into the jungle, drop them down within
sight of q monkey and soon have
that monkey in a cage. The boots on
his feet appear to be the same as the
boots he leaves; but here is where
the monkey Is mistaken. AS soon as
the visitor goes away, the monkey de-
scends from some tree and thrusts his
own feet into the boots. The inside Is
covered with glue, and he sticks fast
also the boots are weighted with lead
and chained together.
The trapper may chain a gourd,
filed with corn or some other eatable,
to a heavy log. Mr.. Monkey comes
along, tastes the food, relishes it, and
wants more. There is no limit to his
greed. He thrusts his hand into the
small opening in the gourd and his
fingers close around large supply OF
the food Then he finds himself un-
able to withdraw his hand. The trap

cap and his Unsuitable greed are such
that the simple expedient Of releasing
the food never occurs to him as o
means Of escape.

Unfortunately
Most Deadly Of War.
The raid which claimed the lives Oh
76 persons and caused injury to l7o
others proved more deadly than any
raid which the Zeppelins have maze
on England since the beginning OF the
war.
Flying so high that they looked like
a flock of ducks the raiders ralneo
dozens of bombs on the busiest block
of the main thoroughfare which was
choked with shoppers of every age
and sex.
A correspondent visited the de-
stroyed district. He found a grocery
store that had collapsed and was told
by the grocer who lost two members
of his family, that 10 dead persons
were found in the debris of the build
ing. A dozen more were killed anu
three score or more were injured by
flying glass and bricks and shrapnel-
like fragments which were scattered
forcibly by the bursting bombs.
Trapped In Narrow Passage.
Many persons lost their lives on
narrow stair-like passage-way between
two buildings on this street when

part of the town were struck down
within a radius of 200 yards.
One of the most striking results was
the small property damage here COM
pared with the heavy loss of life. This
is thought to have been due to the
fact that the bombs happened to drop
where large crowds of shoppers aug
mented by people attracted to the
potato sale were gathered.

As soon as the raiders had dropped

But presently she sat erect again

forced her voice to utter the word:

The struggle between them lasted a
week-a CHASTITY week, during which,
so far as the surface Of things showed,
their life flowed along in its accus-
toned channels. But at all sorts OF
times, and in all sorts of places, when
they were alone together, the great
battle was renewed.
The hardest thing about 1t all for
Rose-the thing that came nearest to
breaking down her courage-was to
see how slowly Rodney came to realize
it at all. He was like trapped ami

would find the way out, and then, in

where his care and protection could

Of course, was master Of them all,
and Doris flew about to do her bid
ding, under a watchful eye.
Rose surveyed this scene, just as
she would have surveyed laboratory,
or a factory where they make some
thing complicated, like watches.
That's what it was, really. Those two
pink little objects, in their two severe
ly sanitary baskets, were factory prod
ucts. At precise and unalterable in
tervals, a highly scientific compound
of fats and proteids was put into
them. They were inspected, weighed,
submitted to a routine of other proc
esses. And in all the routine, there
was nothing that their mother, now
they were fairly born, was wanted for.
Rose kept those ideas to herself
and kept an eye on young Doris, lis
tened to the orders she got, and stud
led alertly what she did in the execu-
tion of them.
Rodney had lovely time watching
the twins bathed. He stood about in
everybody's way. made what he con-
ceived to be alluring noises, and finally
turned suddenly to his wife and said
Don't you want to-hOld them, Rose?'
A stab of pain went through her
and tears came up into her eyes. "Yes,
give them to me-" she started to say.
But Mrs. Ruston spoke before she
could frame the words. It was their
feeding hour, q bad time for them
to be excited, and the bottles were
heated exactly right.
BY that time Roses idea had flow
cred into resolution. But she mustn't
| jeopardize the success of her plan by
trying to put it into effect too soon.
She waited patiently, reasonably
for another fortnight. Harriet, by that
time, had gone off to Washington on
a visit, taking Rodney's heartfelt
thanks with her. Rose expressed hers
just as warmly, and felt ashamed
that they were so unreal. She simply
mustn't let herself get to resenting

She was in the grip Of an appalling
realization. This moment-this actu-

to last only until she should speak for

"Roddy :" she said.
He was slumped down in big easy

now and then with his fingers. Some

And he sat there waiting for it.
He thought he was ready for any

she said it so quietly, so-tenderly.
