John Kelly" then Kelly would have
been a knight and would have swag-
gered around the rest of his life, de-
termined, as he had been taught, that
the tap on the shoulder was the last
time anybody would hit him without
getting it right back. He would have
been living up to it, according to the
plans and specifications of chivalry.
Well, when John Kelly heard that
Nick Young called him Honest" he
lived up to it and kept on living up
to it.. He went on doing business on
that principle-not very good bust
ness, and one more or less interfered
with by the police, but he did it fair
ly. Apparently he never owned a
crooked roulette wheel or trick faro
box. Old New Workers say no man
ever robbed in one of his houses.
Too bad John Kelly couldn't have
exercised such fine honor in some
useful occupation, but he couldn't
find enough excitement that way,
nor supply others with it. Once he
tried being a Wall Street broker and
came out $150,000 in debt. He paid
it all and declared he was cas- good
as national bank"
And the morals of this story are,
that if you give somebody a good
name he may live up to it; and that
you can be honest if you wish to be,
even in very poor sort of business.

PITY THE TODDLER!

He was tiny toddler, probably not
more than half past two, but he was
making a brave effort to keep pace
with his young mother as hand-in-
hand they walked down Superior
street. Mothers skirts came but two
or three inches below her knees and
there was nothing to hamper her
steps but the thinnest of chiffon
stockings. But the poor baby that
staggered manfully along beside her
had on long balloon trousers that
dragged on the sidewalk behind his
heels and tapped, flopped and folded
about his ankles, sometimes tripping
him completely off his feet and leav-
ing him dangling like shopping bag
from mothers hand until his strug
Cling feet caught the sidewalk again
when his parent stopped to do bit
of window shopping.
Each trouser leg must have meas
ured at least sixteen inches around
the bottom, which meant that this
mere baby, who but few months ago
was creeping securely on all fours,
was having his struggle to stay up
right on two little feet, complicated
with almost pard of heavy wooden
cloth. He was a pathetic figure as
he stumbled along with the yellow
ringlets on his forehead damp with
perspiration. Even the strong, young
mother of this child would have be-
come exhausted if she had had to walk
very far with such handicap of
Tapping wool around her feet and
ankles.
Perhaps this child was an extreme
case as to age, but one can see plen-
ty of boys a and years old trying
to play in long, flaring wooden trous-
ers these days. Who started this silly
fad, this fiendish devise for tortur-
ing toddlers? Nobody seems to know.
ut we do know that mothers do not
have to adopt such an absurd fashion.
If you ever washed a small child's
romper and stockings after day of
play you know what long wooden
trousers must be like at the end OF

Honest John"

Honest John" died the other day
in New York. He was gambler of
wide-open days when the Tenderloin
was the only playground for men
about town and a good many from
out of town, when there were few
golf links, no automobiles and nobody
thought he had to carry it on the hip.
Honest John" owned gambling
houses. You ought not to gamble.
But if you do gamble, you should do
it like sport, like Honest John"
a baseball umpire, and some gamblers
of the tinhorn variety offered him
$4,000 to shade decision. He re-
fused, and the president of the Ma
tional league heard about it and re-
ferred to him as Honest john"

been a medieval king and had tagged

HEROINES ARE OLDER NOW

Age is slowly creeping upon the
heroines of romantic love, but seems
to be doing it in the characteristic
way age has with woman, very slow
ly. For the age of the heroine has
advanced in more than so years only
from II to %.
Twenty-eight is now the average
age for heroine of love story, the
fact having been established by the
examination of more than $4,000
scenarios submitted in a recent con-
test. Whereas, in 1870, so the judges
declare it was II.
There is another popularity about
the age Of the heroine. In the scenar-
los submitted by women writer's
and these were so per cent Of the en-
time number-the age of the heroine
averaged about five years more than
the age of the heroine created by the
man writer. Women will see nothing
strange in this but will take it as a
proof of the efficiency of the beauty

James Smithson, whose fortune

mother was of royal birth and in the

But the 'bar sinister" robbed him of
his natural rights of inheritance, even
denying him name. He started
with nothing, not even a name.

fifteen years, then will go out and
