THE FIVE-CENT PIE
OF DAYS GONE BY.

The days of yore that come no more
Oft 10 my eyes bring water.
The days when i could get some pie
For one-fifth OF a quarter
A five-cent piece did oft release
My stomach from starvation,
Then. too, It brought just what !
sought.
Most every day without delay
l went to see the grocer,
The pies ! ate / cannot state,
For truly l don't know, sir.
And II found no pies around
When mother set the table.
I'd rush right out and hunt about
As long as I was able.
Until I got an apricot.
A lemon and strawberry,
Then satisfied. my! how I'd ride
To reach home in a hurry.
Those were the days ! used to praise
The value OF the nickel.
But now ! don't because II won't
At times buy me pickle.
This day and time the prices climb
So high they bring me sadness,
Despite my aim in life's short game,
To summon up some gladness.
1t gives me pain to seek in vain
For ftve-cent pies so Juicy,
Although | eat with JOY complete
The pies now made by Lucy.
Still with regret my heart is wet
And II will be thus ever:
For i can see, for you and me
Those days will come back never

MAIL
B0XESPUT UP
0NF STREET
New Style Expected to Make
Public Do First Sorting
Of Letters.

Installation on trial of fourteen
of the new "double.barrel" mail
boxes Is being made on F street
northwest, between Fifth and
Fifteenth streets.
The boxes are divided into two
compartments, one. for local mail
the other for all mail for out of town
destinations. Through this device
the public will effect the primary
separation of the mail, thus saving
considerable time after the arrival
of the mail at the postoffice.
The new boxes will replace all the
present type between Fifth and
Seventh streets and between Tenth
and Fifteenth streets on f street.
During the trial period the mail
from these boxes will he collected
separately and handled separatelyin
order that careful check may be Kept
on whether the public Is following
the primary separation instructions.
Each half of the box will bear a
label, one reading Local Mail" and
the other "Out of Town MALL The
local postoffice requests that resi-.
dents of the city exercise care in
seeing that their mail Ia dropped into
the proper compartment.
IL the tests prove that the in.
structions are being needed by the
public, the new boxes will probably
be installed all through the country,
replacing all of the present.type
boxes now In use, especially in the
larger cities, where the primary
separation is a heavy burden on the
postoffices.
The new boxes were manufactured

.'nWXO!!

The ring-leader was a husky fell
low, strong as an OK. but he made
up his mind that tossing Roosevelt
in blanket might after all not be
the fun that It looked on the sur
face, and the idea was given up.
All that happened in January,
1882. Most OF the men who fought
at Roosevelt's side or fought
against him during his three terms
In the Assembly have crossed the
Great Divide. Only few remain
to tell the tale, but these few are
being marshalled by the Roosevelt
Memorial Association In an effort to
set down in black and white for the
benefit OF posterity the full story Of
Roosevelt's first venture In politics.
An appeal has been issued by Colo
mel William Boyce Thompson, pres
ident of the Association, asking the
public to cooperate in gathering
the facts OF Roosevelt's early career
by sending the Association any data
about Il, great or small, which may
be in their possession. First of all,
the Association wants the names
and addresses OF surviving men,
bers OF the Legislatures OF 1882,
1883 and 1884; of politicians who,

lature, were close TO those who were,
or of relatives of deceased members

documents which might be ofvalue
Then they want "reminiscences of
Roosevelt or of New York politics

the political struggles among the
Republican Stalwarrs and Half
breeds and the Democratic reform
ers" and Tammanyites. Anecdotes
and data OF all sorts are wanted
also concerning the Republican Con-
vention of 1884 to which Roosevelt
was delegate. Material should be
sent to the Secretary. Roosevelt Me-

bring to light many significant and

CAPTAIN GILLETTE
HERE FOR FEW DAYS
Public Health Officer Says Importance
Of Work o. Service Is
Not Realized.

Captasa w II. Gillette. who is in the
city for a few days representing the
United states Public Health Service
and the Florida State Board OF Health,
said yesterday that he does not be-
lieve that the general public realizes
the Importance of the work of the
United states Public Health Service,
in the effort 1t is making to correct
social evils.
"Such conditions can be corrected
only through educational methods"
said Captain Gillette yesterday after
noon, and wherever l have been
throughout the state. the school audi
torium. chamber of commerce, or the
count house has been turned over to
the use of the public health service,
that this work might be brought home
to the people.
..The social evil is a cancer of the
most deadly type. which is destroying
the physical. moral and mental fibre
of the race. Many regard withsscyni-
cism any attempt TO convey any in
formation on the subject of sex, but
The fact remains that the boys and
girls are going to get this information,

not shudder to hear or to read the
words sentenced for life? 1t is a
sentence pronouncing fearful doom

a crime and about 10 be made to feel
the punishment which wrongdoing
carries with it.
..sentenced for life, it may be a
brief period or for years and years, of
punishment for which there is no
escape save through death: to be shut
off from contact and free communica-
5ion with fellow human beings, to be
denied the privileges of coming and
going at will: in a word. to be SEN
fenced for life to endure the penalty
of the law with all the hardships and
suffering that go with il.
so far, from what has been said
the inference is justifiab BILE that SEN
fenced for life has to do with crime
and its punishment. But there is an
other and more general application Of
punishment where sentenced for life is
no less horrifying. no less fearful to
contemplate. 1t is the sentence for
life that is pronounced upon fellow
human beings who have done no

wrong, who are not guilty of any
crime whatsoever. And yet there are
those sentenced for life, millions Of
them, some from the day of their
birth. and from which they can never
escape. The sentence is pronounced
by those of whom it is written. the
sins of the fathers shall be visited
upon the children even unto the third
and fourth generation"
Have you ever thought of passing
q life sentence, not upon criminal,
but upon one of your own flesh and
blood, one who has done no wrong?
Yet that is what is being done daily
by those parents who are unmindful
of their responsibility that rests upon
them in the matters of caring for their
offspring in such a manner that they
shall walk in the paths that are right,
that they may have good health, sound
minds in sound bodies. Those who are
unmindful or who neglect these duties
of parenthood.. are pronouncing life
sentences more horrible than those
placed upon the criminal, because they
are unwarranted, and would not be
pronounced were there proper regard
for health, moral and physical.
The medical fraternity, philanth-
ropists and all humanity inclined, are
waging a constant struggle to over
come, to set aside life sentences in the
form of sickness and disease, life SEN
fences pronounced by those who are
Indifferent or neglectful of the well
fare of those for whose life and health
they are esponsible-parents failing to
perform their duty and thereby inflict-
ing life time punishment on those who
should be most dear to them, on those
who have a right to life and enjoy
life, who would so live and enjoy life
but for the carelessness and neglect
of others.
Sentenced for life, to endure ills
from which there is no escape, ills for
which someone is responsible. Sen
