NHe most exciting thing that the
very youthful Lindsay twins
found to explore in their
fathers old home town was
their Grandfather Lindsay's drug
store. The very day after their arr
rival their proud father had escorted
them thither to display it's glories.
They adored every inch of 1t from
the gigantic colored bottles in the
front windows to the tiniest atom
which they squealed with delight.
They frisked all over the place.
Their pretty little mother was in
perpetual dread less they smash
something. And she had other trou-
bles on her mind. With specula-

ful husband into a corner to try again
to get him to consent to curtailing his
visit with his parents so that she
could accept an invitation to spend
a few days in an Adirondack fishing
camp.

you over and over that I don't want

She stood tiptoe to grasp his coat

these days letting you have your own
way about everything! Please.

Her pleading was interrupted by a
more ardent pleading on the twins
part. They crowded about their
youthful parents, begging to be al
lowed to have ice cream on those
big stools!'
Fredericka, her little copper-haired
head bobbing vigorously. teased per-
sistently. And Dicky, with his mop
of red curls dancing, added his plea.
Merriam compromised by allowing
them very small dishes of plain va

with the soda clerk, who had grown
grayhaired in the service and was

heels did.
And SO at last they reached home.
Mrs. whitefoot heard them as they
started to climb the little tree in
which was their home, a home that
had once been the nest of Melody the
Wood Thrush. Anxiously she poked
her head out of the little round door
way. The instant she caught sight
of that little runaway she rushed out
to meet him. To have seen her you
never would have guessed that he had
been a disobedient little Mouse and
had run away.
From the tip of his tail to the tip
Of his nose she looked him over. She
seemed to think that he couldn't
possibly be all safe and sound. OF
course the three obedient little Mice
greet their little brother Ny, my,

had to ask! But the little Mouse said
very little. He didn't boast. He SIM
ply said that the great world was a
very terrible place and that never
again would he go out in It. At that
Whitefoot and Mrs. Whitefoot smiled,
for they knew that the time would
soon come when all those little Mice
would have to go out in the great
world. They would have to go and
they would want to go. q
It is doubtful II in all the Green
Forest there was 80 happy home as
was that of Whitefoot the Wood
Mouse that evening. The little rum
away was not sco1ded once. You see,
his father and mother knew that he
had. learned q lesson and that he
needed no scolding. And they lsus-
pected that this particular littlx
Mouse would when the time came be
the best able to take care Of himself

the lessons he had learned, the most
important Of which was obedience.
And SO in the end 1t proved. That

Economy Gives NY. State
Surplus for Lean Times

ALBANY, July 12.--"As the result of
the conservative policy pursued and Of
the economies effected in the conduct

the possibility of still further de-

ment on the financial condition of New
York State at the close Of the fiscal
year, June 80, 1922.

conditions the natural increase in rev
enues can be counted on to provide for
the legitimate and inevitable increases
in the cost of government" he added,
land with the development of armore
scientific budget system it should be
possible more and more to limit the
appropriations to the actual needs of
the state"
The surplus at the close of the fiscal
year was SAL ,261,294,18, the statement
said. The actual budget expenditures
for the year were $126 1863, 172.45, or

Senate Leaders TO Urge
Harding TO Act ON Bonus
President Will Be Advised 1t
VIII Be Mistake 10 Force Bill
Over Until Winter
ON. The TriJune's Washington Burean

From The TriJune's Washington Buream
WASHINGTON, July 12.--In the ex-
pected exchange Of views this week
between the President and Senate Re-
publican leaders the President will be
urged by some of the Senate chiefs
that the time has come when the
bonus measure should be passed.
He will be advised that it will be
a mistake to force the bonus measure
over to the next session and that it
should be disposed of after the tariff
bill is passed and before the present
session ends.
Senator'S Lodge, Curtis and Watson
were chosen as committee by Repub-
lican leaders to see the President
They have not yet arranged a confer
ence, but Senator Lodge probably will
arrange it tomorrow.
Senators in favor of bonus legisla-
ton, becoming alarmed over talk that
the bonus bill might be shunted over,
have protested TO tne leaders and
urged action. Now, the President will
be told, Senate sentiment is in favor
of acting on the bill.
What the effect of such representa-
tons will be on the President re-
mains to be seen. If he continues to
adopt the position which he has here
tofore, and refuses to make any COM
promise with the Senate, it is regarded
as doubtful if enough votes can be
mustered in that body to override a
veto.

Widower Dopes Out Plan
To Bring 200 to Altar
Jerseyite Would Shuttle Up Be-
reaved of Both Sexes and
Let EN- Court
Special Dispatch to The Tribune


HAMMONTON, N. j., July H.
Lewis Conley, who lives on Bellevue
Avenue here, is business man and q
baseball player and widower, and a
regular Teller who hates solitude even
when he thinks about marrying again
He wants to get married along with
the crowd, and has spent lot of time
DOPING out a way in which this can be
done.
His investigation has led to the
pleasant discovery that there are IN
Hammonton 200 widows and widowers
who don't live with any one in partic-
ular. and who sit at home night play
ing solitaire and missing whole lot
of fun. Casual inquiry among these
two sets has convinced him that there
are enough Of them to make marry
ing quorum. ...
Lots of the widows seem wiling to
take another chance If they can meet
some one who appealed to them, and
the boys were just as willing as the
gals SO Conley han evolved plan
whereby the names Of all the widows
and all the widoWers are to be placed
in two boxes and shaken up. Then he
would have a little lad disguished as
Cupid draw names from the boxes, so
that the widows and widowers would
be paired off and allowed, under the
rules, to court each other for six
months after which they could either
marry or draw again, the drawings to
continue until there are no more
widows or widowers.
The plan is finding favor.

Upholds Taxi Bonding Law
Court Fefuses to Enjoin Police
From Enforcing Act

Justice Edward r. Finch, in the
Equity Branch Of the Supreme Court,
denied yesterday the application of
Michael Donella for an injunction re-
straining Police Commissioner Enright
Attorney General Newton and District
Attorney Banton from putting into eff
feet the provisions of the new taxicab
bonding law, which requires the bond
ing of taxicabs in an amount of not
less than $500
Donella, a taxicab owner, alleged in
his complaint the law was discrimina-
tory and unconstitutional and that it
singled out certain classes of vehicles
to be bonded and exempted others.
Justice Finch said that the act was
a valid exercise of police powers and
that the means adopted appeared to be
reasonably appropriate to tn end
sought.
