CARS HALTED
AS LAST HONOR
TO WHITRIDGE
Three Hundred Employees at the
Funeral of Third Avenue
Line President

From 10 to 1906 yesterday morning
not a car moved on any OF the Third
Avenue Railway Company's lines.
From The Bronx to PARK Row the red
cars stood motionless while pallbear-
ers carried the body Of Frederick W.
Whitridge, president OF the company,
from Grace Church. From there a
hearse bore the coffin to the Grand
Central Station, where a special was
waiting to convey it to Stockbridge,
Mass. The body rested there last
night in the burial plot OF his family.
There we're men who wore GETAWAYS
and carried silk hats among the
mourners who listened TO Dr. Charles
Lewis Siattery. Of Grace Church, and
DR.. W. 7. Manning, Of Trinity, as they
read the Episcopalian ritual Tor the
dead. But there were also men in the
blue and brass buttons Of the Third
Avenue line-conductors and motor
men and higher officials of the com
pauv who had come 10 do honor TO
their dead chief.
That is as he would have wished IL.
One of his last requests was that pews
be reserved at his funeral for his EN-
ployes.
More than 800 Of the Third Avenue
men-all that the pews set aside fol
them would hold-attended the
funeral The mahogany coffin bore but
one floral decoration-a cross of roses
and sweetpeas.
The honorary pallbearers we're Col.
onel Theodore Roosevelt, Judge Z. II
Lacombe. Joseph H. Choate. Paul
Dana. Adrian Iselin, Edwin Rice. W
Emlen Roosevelt, DR.. William NJ. Polk
willard Butler, j. Pierpont Morgan, j
Buckln Bishop. Edward A. Maher, jr.

Ont Of the mass and maze Of creeds,
Tn from The devious paths that wind,
Borr from mems dreams and hopes and needs,
Burdened with affairs charms, or beads
What is the answer / shall find?
Tired Of the endless how, and why,
Tired of the questions, tired Of search
Sick Of the maya, joys that fly
Ever ahead, when seeming nigh,
Sick Of the book and bell and church,
Bafed turn to the crowded street
Night is afoot; the deep sky broods
Creen-purple and the air is sweet
With winds deep-scented warm and fleet
Where is the room for creeds and feuds!
only know that the night is rare;
only know that the musc-stuf
OF a voice long-heard, and loved, is there
An that / is-Life is fair!

DAISY FLY KILLER p
How Women Fish.

1t doesn't serve to mellow mans
disposition to take woman or two
into the boat when he goes bass fish
ing. For women always want to fish,
yet never could they or would they
stick those horrid, nasty, wriggling
angleworms on the hook. So, between
batting their hooks and removing the
perch and pumpkin seeds and strain
ing your spine to keep the boat from
turning turtle and the lines from get
ting snarled up, you have most en-
joyable outing, do you not? Yes, you
do not I'll run the risk of answer
ing that question for you, "Zim' writes
in Cartoons Magazine. And then, when
you finally hook five-pound bass
weighing at least three pounds and
eight ounces by his own standard
scales, and play him for twenty min
utes against their earnest entreaties
not to bring that big ugly thing into
the boat or else they'd jump out!-
you calmly ease up on the line and
give him slack, also his freedom, do
you not? Yes, you do not And when
the day is spent, they tell you what
a gorgeous time they have had and
make you promise to fetch them again,
and you promise, of course, do you
not? You do like-heaven

WAR Is DECLARED ON MICE:
All Household Pets Should Be Kept
Away From Food, Says Govern

Rats and mice destroy millions OF
dollars worth Of food and other prop

rats harbor the germs of bubonio

cannot reach 1t.
Keep household pets away from
food.
Don't let fresh vegetables or fruit
wilt or lose their flavor or begin TO
rot because they are handled careless
ly. Keep pershabIe vegetables in cool
dry, well aired, and, for most vegeta~-
bles, dark, rather than light places.
Learn how to store potatoes, cab
bages, root crops, fruits and other
foods so that they will keep properly
for later use. Don't think that any
place In the cellar or pantry is good
enough to store food.
Heat, dampness, poor ventilation
bruising or breaking will rapidly make
many vegetables rot ferment or spoil
Warmth and light make vegetables
sprout and this lowers their quality.

HELP CHEER THE JACKIES
Friends and Relatives Urged to Write
Cheering Letters to the
Boys in Training.

Great lakes Ill.-A movement to
bring a little more JOY into the Ives
of the young men at the United States
naval training station here has been
started by the Loyal Girls Of America.
This society has inaugurated cam
paign TO impress upon the friends and
relatives of the bluejackets the Inn
portance of writing them cheering let
tiers.
Don't write your son John that Won
are unhappy while he Is away In the
service of his country" says Miss Ger
trude Gilmore, secretary of the society.
Don't tell him that his favorite dog
is pining away. Tell him how envious
the boys at home are of him and his
opportunity. Tell him that you expect
him to make good, that he must nuke
good for the sake of himself, his Tome
and his country"
Many of these youthful sailors are
away from home for the first time in
their lives and 1t Is but natural that
they should feel a little homeslck at
times. Letters from home written in
q cheerful vein will work wonders In
keeping up their spirit and inspiring
them with the determination to give
their best service to their country In
its hour of need.

GRAIN WENT THROUGH FIRE
After Ten Years 1t is Found in Ruins
of an Elevator in
Louisiana.

Blanchard, Lain excavating for
new approaches for the Farmers ele-
vator, the debris of the elevator fire
of ten years ago was unearthed.
Among other things was pocket Of
wheat containing a bushel or more,
charred black but whole, that had lain
there all these years. Every berry
was as perfect as the day of the fire.
Covered by earth and ashes, 1t was
Theoretically sealed from the elements.
The old elevator was the property of
J. H. Walkinshaw and Mckee Broth
ers, and burned to the ground full Of
wheat, corn and oats. There was some
insurance. They rebuilt the present
structure, replacing the destroyed ele-
vator. Wheat then was worth less
than so cents per bushel.

How many thousands of Carlbs

hand of the eonqueror, who worked
them as slaves, and shot them when
they made war, Today 1t is doubtful
whether there are hundred pure

Natural Study.

The teacher was hearing the class
In nature. Trying to impress upon
b the children's minds the horror of cru
city to animals, she told the following
story:
"Once a farmer went out to milk a
COW and little calf switched the man
In the eye with its tail. The man
took out his knife and cut off the
calfs tail Now, children what verse
in the bible should that man have re-
membered?
OF course she had referred to
BLESSED are the merciful," but Philip
had another answer:
"What God hath Joined together, let
no man put asunder. Exchange.

Pride.

An oldish man with waist line like
the equator paused on the street to
confer a somewhat patronizing greet
ing on an oldlsh woman.
"Well, WE'LL was afraid you had
gone by the board How are you get
ting along?'
ooh, making money and taking on
fatI
The only thing worth noticing about
the small interchange was that the
woman was a positive bone, and she
sure didn't look as if she were making
money.
Which seems to show that the Spar
tan kid with the fox under his Jacket
isn't in a class by himself when 1t
comes to the pride that tibs and makes
no Washington Star.
