TURNIPS FIRST IN HIS MIND
As the Thrifty Scotsman Wisely Re-
marked, the Fortune Coming to
Him Would Keep.

A Philadelphia man Of Scottish
origin, tells this story
One McManus had been farm
hand in Scotland for more than 40
years. His brother, who left that
country for America years before, had
made a large fortune, and dying, had
bequeathed his wealth TO the old
brother. certain Philadelphia law
yer was the administrator, and IL was
his duty to discover the lucky brother.
He was slicing turnips for the
sheep on his employers farm, away
up among the mist-clad hills Of Scot
land. when the lawyer found him.
He had been traced from the old farm
on which he was born. step by step.
through 40 years of ill-paid and often
unpleasant labor before the lawyer
found him II was not difficult, for
ne had not wandered far in all those
years. Every one in the countryside
knew him.
Are you Sandy McManus?" asked
the lawyer.

the turnips and the knife.
"Your brother James is dead in Phil
adelphia." said the lawyer.

die" he said. slicing away at the tur-

and economy. IL is modest in its ar
rangement. not at all freakish or un-
usual and consequently not requiring
special fittings which invariably mean
increased expense II fills all the re-
quirements of the family of moderate
means and above all Is a real home.
The owner is Independent OF any land
lord who may see lit to raise the rent
frequently and out Of reason, know
ing that the tenant will stay rather
than take chance of seeking new
quarters in the face Of the present
shortage. Instead of paying rent every
month, the owner can Insure himself
permanent home by paying that
same money on home of this type.
Rent receipts are not recognized as
collateral by any bank, but a home is
tangible security that can be used at
any time. Many man, father of
family, who has been paying rent for
years has only recently found how
foolish he has been, and he found that
out because he purchased home and
learned its real benefits.

stout, we'll able 10 withstand the as

rior design is very attractive. In the
first place il is set back from the side
walk on terrace which gives the
builder an opportunity TO put in an Inn

ondary sidewalk which in turn branch

The broad front porch, recessed IN
der the sloping gable roof. is an Inn
portant feature and something which
has many advantages. Extending the
full width of the house, II affords an
excellent recreation center for the
family and playground for the chill
dren. Stout brick pillars support the
roof while rail of brick extends
around on each side. Everything
about this modest home gives the inn
preston Of strength and security. A

OBJECT LESSON ON TRAFFIC
Accident Added Weight to New YORK
TrsffSc PeIicehnan's Order to
Pedestrians.

On road on Long Island there IL
q dangerous spot where five main
roads come together IL is said that
more than 100000 automobiles pass
there on Sunday. A stocky-built lit
tie policeman. known 20 nearly all New
York motorists, stands there all
day long regulating traffic. His arms
are continually going like semaphores,
but he always manages TO say some
thing pleasant-or caustic--tO passers-
by This little policeman is very proud
of his responsibility. and Is lmperi-
Gus OF gesture.
At a busy moment on Sunday aft
ernoon not long ago pedestrian
started to cross the road among the
turning cars. Out OF the corner Of
his eye the little policeman had just
noted fhe approach Of a woman driv-
ing a fiivver.
"Stand back therew he called to
the pedestrian. Don't you dare 10
step of that curb :" This with an I'm
perious wave of his white-gloved hand.
"Stop!" he again ordered as the man
started again. There's a woman driv-
ing a car-never can tell what they'll
dol"
At that very moment, while the po-
liceman's back was turned, the woman
driver became confused, and with
dull PUNK her car hit the officer
squarely in the back, knocking him
down and SHINING his arms and face.
Luckily, he was not run over. His
dignity, though, was terribly upset.
Painfully rising, he brushed himself
off, but said not a word TO the woman.
"Now," he called out, shaking his fist
at the pedestrian on the sidewalk,
NOW, reck'n you'll stand back when

played Cnly two games. and will finish
up for the season against one of the
other seven clubs in their respective
leagues this afternoon. The Phils again
will take on the Pirates before the in
vasion of the Reds at Broad and Hunt
ingdon on Monday. while the Mackmcn
will finish up in Detroit this p. m. and
then go to Cleveland tomorrow.
For the second straight day Pitts
turgh had no trouble beating the un-
fortunate Phils. Score. s. to 3. The
Tigers laced the Macks, to 0, and
then to =.
The phils looked bad, played bad and
were bad. AS in the game on Thursday,
the Pirates were in front as early as the
first inning. Hubbel blotted out the first
two aliens and then had facer. South
worth started the late rally with
single.
Nicholson doubled to right. scoring
Bill. Whitted hit a single, scoring the
sluggcr.
There was halt in run getting until
the fourth, when McKechnie singled to
left and reached home on Schmidt's S two
base smack.
The Phils didn't get hit off Cooper
until the fourth, when, helped by some
poor defense, on the part of McKechnie,
they assembled two runs.
