MAN WISHES BABY
ON 1O-YEAR BOY
NO Use for It. Says Lad as
He Transfers Child to a
Policeman.
THINKS TRUST VIOLATED
Sought TO Have known Better
Than TO Have Been Such a
Sucker. He Comments.

John Tanning, 10. of 1879 West Six
tieth street, always has had an aversion
to babies, but when a well dressed man
came up to him yesterday afternoon in
Central Park near Fifth avenue, at
Sixty-fifth street. and asked him 20 mind
his baby while he went to a lunch stand
for a sandwich, John felt that surely no
trouble would come out of accepting the
trust
For fortyfive minutes young Tanning
stood by the two wheeled go-cart and
made faces at the baby in a we'll mean
ing but futile att 'mpt to amuse him.
Then he began to think it was time the
man was coming back. and the baby,
growing restless added to his uneasi-
ness The storm broke about that time
and John pushed the cart as fast as he
dared across the park toward his home
on the West Side.
At Central Park West and SiXty-third
street John saw a cop. turned the baby
over to him with genuine relief and told
him how he came % have it.
You see" he said, its not my baby
use for babies and l ought to have
known better than to have been such a
sucker as to tell that man I'd watch il. /"
The baby. who is a boy about
months old, was taken 10 the West
Sixty-eighth street station and later re-
moved to Bellevue. 1t was dressed in
clean white clothes and was in good
condition.

NEW RECORD IS MADE
IN MARRIAGE LICENSES
Clerks in City Bureau Work
Overtime to Meet Rush.

The number Of prospective June brides
and bridegrooms that swarmed into the
offices of the Marriage License Bureau
in the Municipal Building yesterday was
so great that all records for one days
business were broken. even those during
the early days of the selective draft,
when marriage as an institution became
almost as popular as jobs in shipyards.
Michael j. Cruise, who recently was
appointed City Clerk and who has been
connected with the bureau for many
years. said that the day was the worst
or the best, as the case may be-in his
experience. Three hundred licenses were
issued by the clerks. working at full
speed and without their lunch. and the
crowd was so great that the doors of
the bureau were not closed until 80
o'clock instead of at noon, as usual on
Saturdays More than seventy mar
riages were performed by Aldermen and
others before the owners of the brand
new licenses could get out Of the build
ing and find a preacher.

WHY PRETEND?


Every one desires to win
the approval of his fell
low-beings. All people
wish to be admired and
respected.
So it is with a store.
1t desires the approval
and patronage of the
public not only, but it
seeks the admiration and
respect of its competitors.
The difficulty arises,
however, when you pretend
to be something you are
not. Some folks affect fine
airs. So do some stores.
They pose and pretend. and
n few people are fooled, but
not many.

tended to he anything that
