INSULT TO INJURY By Louise INOcnig

Wilbur had met the girl only once before. and knew her only by her first name But she was so allur- ing and fascinating that he felt as if he had known her all his life. They met quite by accident, yet in five minutes she had consented to Q dinner date.
 The youug man was daZcd by his good fortune, and could scarcely eat the meal he ordered. How beautiful she was, H. would rather look at her than eat. His heart pounded within him.
 But when the waiter laid the check by his plate nc came to himr self with a start of horror. $f.%o! He cautiously explored his trousers pochot-thcn his other pockets. He was broke. He hadn't cent!
 He knew no one from whom he could borrow and as he realized the awfulncss of the calamity. q cold sweat broke out on his brow, and he trcmhlod. II wouldn't have mattercd if hc w alono--at least not so much-but SHE was with him! What could he do? He suddenly be- gan 10 fool quite i'll.
 Then he noticed a kindly-faccd old ronn, -,n at the table next 10 them. half concealed by q palm. Maybe if he would explain inc mat ter. tho man would lend him inc money. II was his only hope, He rose from th" table, approached the gentleman and hcnt close 10 him.
 T have left my money in my other cIofros." hc whispered. "Would you he kind enough 10 lend mo $G.3O so I can pay the dinner check?'
 The old mans face underwent a change, and he cIonchod his fist and pounded the table with 1T.
 "Younr man." ho beloved. q |dont mind yC~r taking my wife tc dinner but I'll be darncd'if I'll pay
 for her mcal.'

THE MAYORS SHOW

Mayor Weld now has the ap- pointive departments of the city administrator so arranged to his liking that not for at least 15 years in inc city's history has there been such complete control eXer- ciscd by the dominant power. t win be more than interesting to watch how the experiment turns out.
 Will there Inc complete co-opcra- ton bg the various departments? Will ft always mean subscrviency to the mayors wishes? Will there he a little independence shown by the boards now and then? Or is tho entire city administration go- ing to be run on the marriaso-bell plan for the next two years?
 Human nature is beyond analy- sis. No one knows what any par Hculor situation will evolve, whether ambitions will be sub merged 10 the general honor and glory of inc administration, or whether sundry officials, "feel- ing their oats" as the saving goes will tend 10 disagree and create ruc,fons occasionally.
 At any rate, so far it is tho mayors show. He let if be known few days ago that he thought the chief executive should have his owI men on the boards as much as pos siblo; and he has done his best tc bring about this desidcratum.
 The system has the paper ad. vantage of making it possible fol tho mayor 10 control the actions Of the boards 10 a greater cNten rhau if there were a pl"ni'ule O . }rfJ-ovcrs on the boards. It has th' disadvantage Of placing somo mex paricnccd men on boards, moi who must learn the tricks Of civi . business coming under their con,ro from inc ground up. There la 
 b.ou widely current belief ina too many shifts are an evil; but !" hma had tne shifts and the ci'. Wu have au opportunity Of s",ini how This sort of thing operates.

STORE HOIRS

Store hours differ in various cities; but in none are they as long as they used to be.
 The day when clerks came 10 work in the downtown es'ablish- ments at 7:3O in the morning and stayed on the job in various shifts until p. m. is so far to the rear scarcely anyone can remember it, or even comprehend such folly.
 One Of Boston's foremost de- partmcnt store heads made a speech the other day in which he said the busiest hours of the day for Boston's stores were from II a. m. 10 4 ?. m, and the remainder oe the day did not pay expenses.
 "Our complicated civilization" has brought complicated problems 70 merchants as well as 10 others. They are heard Of in every city. Nowhere has the influence of the automobile upon shopping condi- lions and shopping hours been es- capped. This influence in New Brit. ain has reached the point of con- tinued discussion oyer closing hours at night over the weekend, etc., mauifestly touching only a fringe of the situation so far As we progress more details of the problem will confront us, as is the case elsewhere.

uDGE ALLING's LECTURE

It Is said of Judge filling that his lecture in police court in connec- ton with youthful prisoners before him and their mothers was the longest he ever made from the bench. There can be little donot that it was one of the most pointed shafts ever aimed at neglecttul parents in his court room.
 Judge Alling is to be commented and congratulated by a grateful citzenry. His words will or ought 10 burn into the hearts of a multitude of parents who from all accounts have been permitting their young to grow up like Topsy instead Of guiding their children in the way tbev should go. Coming from the man in the city best in a position to judge of the dire results of par enta1 neglect his words were worth their weight in gold to every parent, and should have the i'm mediate effect Of causing a gen. cral inventory Of methods by all who have children at the impress sionable ages of from 16 to 20.
 The fudge included in his re-  marks one to the effect that sus- nended sentences seem to be look ed upon as a joke by some of those tbus favored when they get into trouble. Of this there can be no doubt, The general opinion among q class of reckless youth appears to he that it Is all right to take chances. as the law will not come down on their heads with its tuI' force. With this widely prevalent notion current in the city, sus- pended sentences may well be doled out with extreme care, will be the opjnion of many citizens anxious to see a riddancc Of certain conditions which invariably lead 10 the police court.
 Judge Alling is in a position to discourage much of the night lounging. carousing and Ioating that appertains to some sections of the city. From all accounts he is dc- termincd 10 force an Improvement And he is beginning at the right end when he finds fault with the parents of youngsters who do mol take an overwhelming interest in their young until they are found in police court. Then it is too latr' The judge wants 10 impress it upon parents that the time 10 be inter- ested is before court proceedings are necessary. The city will wish him every success in his judicial campaign Of educating such parents as need it Of the duty they ow' their youths and the city.

. NEW ENGLAND BRIDGE

Except in tha Boston news papers, the news Of the contom- plated construction of a great sUs- pension bridge between Boston and East Boston has received precious little attention through Now Eng land.

THE SESQUICENTENNIAL

In sponsoring the great Sesqui- centennial exposition Philadelphia has the advantage of being in the center of a large eastern popula- ton which will find the exposition easy to reach. Millions are within a few hours riding of the show. Between those having weeks of va cation leisure 10 spend there, down 10 those able or willing to make only a weekend visit to the eXposi- tion's attractions. there ought to be millions of visitors throughout the summer.
 In addition, Philadelphia has cX- pcricnce at giving eXpositions. The Centennial exposition of 1875 was enormously successful and remains a fond memory in the minds of millions. Since the Centennial there have been other major worlds fairs St. Louis and San Francisco - to menion only those sponsored in America.
 But times have changed since the Centennial. In 1875 such a well known instrument as the telephone was being exhibited to doubting ! Thomases, and the Emperor of 1 Brazil became famous because of an expression he made when he "heard it talk" People in those days still had much to marvel at; { the rank and file was not so all- knowing and sophisticated as it is today.
 Today there are few secrets in 1 the scientific and mechanical world I that arc not quite common prop crty. We live in a day of wide reading, knowledge and travel; moving pictures have for several decades brought distant scenes to our eyes; radio daily eliminates distances. What is it in Philadel- phia that can give us the thrill Of absolute ncwness?
 But there are other angles to be considered. The Sesquicentennial may not be an array of revolution ary ideas, but it will be good place to go because of it's bigness and the manifold attractions of various kinds that are q feature of all such recurring affairs. There are millions Of the newer generation who have never seen "world's fair" although having read of them and wondered "what they were like" People in the summer time are looking for amusement and a place to go; the Sesqui EXpo is a bait for this class Of amuse- mont lovers as well as for the more serious-mindcd, if there are any such when the thermometer is 9t in the shade.
 They say Philadelphia is slow; al least, somebody once said so and . 
 nation, parrot-Iike, has made classic of the statement througl endless repetition. Gut the city or the Delaware does not seem 10 b' IS slow as it's reputation. It wen
 through with tho Scsqui exposition after countless sctbacks, and iron all accounts has produced a mira clo city, that will yield it mucl satisfaction and praise.
 The exposition will mean fcwo tourists 70 other moccas in th
 cast; perhaps fewer in New Eng
 land this year.

CONDEMNED MAN GETS COM
MUTATION OF SENTENCE
preston News Service

Little Rock, Ark, Dec. 24.-The
death sentence imposed upon Simon
Johnson, Of Phillips county, last April
for the murder of James Carrot, was
committed to life Imprisonment Tues
day by Governor Terral. Johnson
was to have been electrocuted Friday.
Governor Terral said he had been
petitioned by many residents Of Phil
lips county and some of the court Of
hcials to commute the sentence. He
said the fatal shooting followed a
quarrel and that there was consider
able evidence in support of Johnson's
plea of self-defense.
Johnson was convicted in Phillips
county last spring and sentenced to be
electrocuted. He was kept in jail Al
Helena during the tendency Of ar
appeal and was never brought to peni-
tertiary here until after his conviction
had been affirmed and new date SCI
for his electrocution-
