STATE FAIR IS
VERY ORDERLY
Misdemeanors at Minimum
So Far-Residents Are
Cautioned.

The orderly manner in which the
state fair is being conducted is being
commented upon by numerous WIS.,
itors. Arrests for all lines of INSIDE
and crimes have been at a
minimum so far.
There is little speeding, little
drunkenness. little disorder of any
kind. The picking of pockets, so COM
NOR at large gatherings, is chiefly
conspicuous by it's absence. A little
hard liquor has trickled through the
lips Of a few, put little or no trouble
has been caused.

so frequently infest the grounds of a.
circus or state fair Is decidedly small

generally known that thievery Of var
ious kinds at fairs is dormant until the
last day according to the police.
Residents are warned to lock their
homes securely and not to leave val

cautioned to park their cars In safe
places. Sightseers at the fair should
tie an extra knot in that old sock

Police expect to have very little

lady that the union had eliminated
unbelievers and that most of West
Street was a closed shop as far as
the baggage carrying business was
concerned.
The young lady had feeling that
she was dealing with organization;
that defiance might mean something,
she couldn't think of what, but she
was impressed. She pulled out
another quarter, not so new as the
other one but worth 25 cents. She
gave it to the little boy and he
looked carefully about to see that
he was unobserved. Before she dis
appeared into the subway he ex-
planned that between him and her
quarter was enough, but if any one
ever reported that he took less than
the unyun scale, Mike, the president

Bumpty Loves a Lady

Babyhood is innocence. Loving
women are guileless to an extent,
and baby eyes are theirs without
any practice before the mirror.
Ella was SO cool and clean and

yelling for full minute and placed
pleasure before business. Their
eyes had been meeting for some
seconds before she finally disap-
peared around the corner of the
drugstore.
1t is probably not libellous to say
that Ella waited for the next Satur-
day night with greater eagerness
than that usually inspired by a long
ing for grandmother's candy. She
saw Bumpty again as she was pulled
on her homeward way. Bumpty's
face was washed and he was sitting

was drawn up the elevated steps.
Last Friday she dropped her hair

liked him very much She wished
she could have a dirty face like his

had yelled in her ear and she had

" HIS is a story about a city
wooing, with no climax worth
mentioning. There isn't much
chance of climax being worked
out before fifteen years or so. This
is probably rough on the constant
readers, but it isn't the first time
that the truth has been a bit I'M
pleasant. The names used in this
account are quite make-believe, but
the people and places are not to be
questioned.
Ella Wagner is nine years old and
has pair Of fond parents who live
in Harlem. Her mothers parents
live in Newark and are nice people.
They are so nice, in fact, that Ella
and her mamma and papa visit them
every week, on Saturday. Ella is
the only child, so she goes with her
folks everywhere, eating ,lollypops
most of the way.
The itinerary of the Wagners is
identical each time. They are bit
fashioned and prefer the Third
Avenue elevated to the new East
Side subway. They walk from the
City Hall station, the end Of the
line, along Park Row to Broadway,
continuing TO Fulton Street, and,
turning to the right, are soon at
the Hudson Terminal, where they
take the tube to Newark. They
always buy return-trip tickets.

three cents, while the one-way fare
is twenty-sevcn cents. This is one
Of the inexplicable mysteries Of a
great city. Newark inmates have
charged that the trick fare schedule
is New York City propaganda; that
no one, especially woman, will buy
one thing for twenty-seven cents
when two are available for thirty
three. This, Newarkians point out,
brings people who might have taken
up Newark as a permanent thing
back to the larger city.
When the Wagners return from
Mrs. Wagner's parents Ella is usual
ly eating homemade candy, the prod
uct of her maternal grandmother.
The Wagners always come back the
way they went. They have been
married for eight years, so their
conversation is mild and meagre. Mr..
Wagner walks slightly ahead, like a
pathfinder, while Mrs. Wagner, hold
ing Ella by the hand, plods phleg-
matically in the rear. Only Elias
hand is up with her mother. The
rest of her is strung along behind.

Row are interesting. Besides, her
mothers grip on her hand assures
her of her progress and she can take
an interest in anything else she
chooses.

interesting things about three weeks
ago. Bumpty is nine and has lived
a strenuous life reaching that age.

part of the Maine woods where she
had been on vacation. She came
home on the Eastern Steamship
Line, which deposited her at the
foot Of Barclay Street on West

much for the appellation, but bust
ness was business. He picked up

was an inch above the pavement
when he stood straight and carried
It by the handle, which was enough
clearance. Up Barclay Street went
