Every one of them fell in line. and
the aff1uent gentleman, who refused

bill on the counter and asked for
nickels. He got enough to sink a
tug until he started distributing
them.
The gang ate. Then it started
through the side streets looking for
a. hotel. The first four hotels visited
were full. but that meant nothing.
This Yankee was out to find beds
for thirty-f1ve men and he meant to
do it. Evidently the thirty-five meant
that he should. for when last seen
every one of them was still trailing
along behind him as he tried the
hotel doors in the theatrical district.

His Father Is Excited.
But his father, who had shared the
secret of his sons ambition, was as ex-
cited as Waite traditionally should have
been. The elder Hoyt saw his boy win
everlasting fame in base balls hall of

sratulate him in the clubhouse after
he game. Surrounded by crowd of
fans, the father told and retold of the
boys early career SO often that he al

Hoyt, after his release by the Giants,
was sent to the Rochester. n. Y. club,
but he didn't stay. He decided to join
the Baltimore Drydocks instead. There

That is the advise that Mrs. Juliet
Rooney gives to women. She runs

These are the reasons she gives:
Men are easily taken In Any

"A woman can tell just by closing
her eyes and passing her hand over
a piece Of furniture whether the man
who made IL has ben dead two gen

Furniture carries its years with
IL, just the same as an old tree can
be told by the number of its rings.
Women have some subtle con-

a woman therefore is the only per-
son who should buy antiques. A
man may be a good judge occasion
