J. Day of 517 West Nimty-tliird street intended to go to Coney island, but didn't go. Instead she would have arrived at A'Lany. tut for 'he act of a tugboat captain, who tcok her off the Frank J : • s. a Hudson river steamboat, some', here in the neighborhood of Tarry town, and returned her safe and sound to wbat she described as j her "waiting husband'' and "bride g.cicm of a few weeks.'' The real Mr.- Day denied that she had figured in the transler. and intimated that the woman was a girl friend, who is her gm-st. The woman wanted to go aboard ; cue of tbe Iron Steamboat company's vessels, but failed to realize she was a passenger on beard the Frank Joce> until Yonkers hove In sight. Then she declared that "hubby" ; would sit up all tslght looking for j his ' 4_ride" In vain and wept very bit- 1 terly. Captain Houcks was sympa thetic but firm. Signals of distress from the whistle of the Frank Jones brought the Albany, another Hudson river steamboat, alongside in jig time. "What's tbe matter? Riot?” asked Captain P st. anxiously leaning over the rail of the Albany. "No; a bride.' replied Captain (.rucks through his megaphone. "Thought we were a blooming Cuufy Island tripper and is afraid hub by will miss her when she's gone.” "Too bad." floated the response across the water; "we are all out of smelling, salts. Is there anything else I can do?*' ‘Why. yes." responded the skipper of the Frank Jones. "If you thiuk of It you might telephone to J. J. Day. at 31" West Ninety-third street, that bis wife Is taking an unexpected run up to Albany and won't be back till tomorrow.” At this critical stage Captain Cl- : ster Davis, who was a board tbe j Frank Jones, saw a towboat belong- i mg to the Cornell Towing line, of j which he is superintendent. Snatch- j mg the megaphone he hailed the tug boat and ordered it alongside. The woman amid cheers and congratula tions. was placed on board the tug and returned to Manhattan. When Mr. and Mrs. Day learned of the report that the passenger bad given the name of Mrs. Day, they de clared they had both been at home on the day In question They re fused to give the name of the young woman who is their guest, but some of their friends were discussing, amid giggles, the subterfuge of the "bride" who did not want to take a trip to Albany instead of one to Coney. .-.

AIMS TO ABOLISH TROUSERS Berlin Society of Scholars and Artists Proposes New and Unique Gar ments—Discard Linens. Berlin.—A society of seventy per sons has been organized in Berlin for the purpose of reforming the style of men's garments. It is composed of persons from ail sorts of professions and aims at abolishing trousers, sub stituting knickerbockers; while coat and waistcoat are to give way to a sort of loose blouse hanging well down to the knees. IJnen of all sorts is to be discarded. The newspapers treat the matter as more or less absurd; and some of them challenge the members of the society themselves to appear in pub lic in the new garb The Cologne Ga zette goes deeper and points out that Germany can have no influence over the world's fashions for men's cloth ing because of the predominance of the military uniform over civilian clothing here, where even the em peror never lays aside his helmet for a siik bat. It thinks that the fashion for men's garments will continue to be set at I^ondon, for "a popular dandy of Lon don clubdom has more influence in setting the fashions than the whole of this society of German scholars, art ists and writers." CELEBRATES DEATH OF KIN American Woman in Paris Gives Din ner in Honor of Mother-in- Law's Demise, Only to Find Error. Paris. —Many strange things happen in Paris, but the most weird and ghastly expression of novel social en tertainments this season was a dinner given by a certain New York woman, celebrating, as she thought, the death of her rich mother-in-law. The lady has been in Paris since the close of the Nice season. Her husband, who does not care for butterfly life so ciety, remains in the villa at Nice. The other day she received a tele gram from her husband, which read: "Mother is dead." Thinking it was the wealthy mother of her husband, she invited friends to dinner, saying she was going to celebrate a new and better era in her life, which the for- | tune of her mother-in-law would bring Some of the more sensitive guests re belled inwardly at the idea, but the dinner went on. Next day the hostess sent apologies to her guests, saying it was not her mother-in-law who had i died, but her own mother. The mis take arose by her husband merely re peating a cablegram received for her at Nice. Robs Her Own Stocking. Springfield.

It is hot!” One may hear this hundreds of times a day now that Paris has had a taste of real summer weather. I caught a deputy going into the Palais Bourbon with white shoes and looking quite pleased with himself, writes the Paris correspondent Of the Globe Democrat. The golf collar is still to be Invented as an adjunct to the French summer costume, but the kummerbund is here, oddly in vogue with wearers protuberant in those parts. The really classic figure is the Frenchman with a black alpaca coat, w hite linen trousers, a Panama hat with a rakish twist behind, an im mense blue tie with white spots, a handkerchief of brilliant hue and de sign half way out of his pocket, the whole surmounted by a gray cotton umbrella. This venerable type still exists, but is becoming rarer. The modern Frenchman has taken an inventive turn with his clothes. I am leaving aside the man who has become Anglicized by reason of mucb reading of tailors’ circulars from Bond street, and who take naturally to his flannelette suit in summer— he is the exception, the large excep tion. The ordinary Parisian, if you produce a hot sun, becomes* playful, sartorially, and disports himself in the strangest garb. Sitting opposite to me in my club is a representative specimen, who looks uncommonly like a diver on a bean feast, if you can imagine a diver regaling himself on anything but oysters or sponges. He has certainly a deep-sea appearance; a curious khaki cloth, very light and very shiny. He looks more than ever like Father Neptune in an off mo ment as he pulls at his long briar wood pipe. RUNAWAY BOYS FIND ERROR Two Pittsburg Lads Get Stranded it Cincinnati and Writes Injunction to All Youths. Cincinnati.—Frank Heiber and Jo seph Lechner of Pittsburg, both aged fifteen, who started out to see the world a few days ago. were lounc early the other morning sleeping un der the Cincinnati & Ohio bridge it; Cincinnati. They told the officers that they had come to Cincinnati in a parlor car, and thought they were going to see the entire world. How ever, their money soon gave out and they were forced to sleep anywhere they could find a place to lie down. Heiber said his rather died last March, and that his mother is very sick. He doesn’t know why he left her. The officials will send them both home. Heiber has written the following injunction to all youths: "Boys—Never leave home. It Is | the best place on earth. “It you ever feel the hankering to see the world, ask your home folks what is the best thing to do. “I started out feeling like a mil lionaire. 1 bad $12. 1 thought that , was plenty.

Human Skin Sold by Inches _ ^ New Jersey Boy Gets Rid of Big Piect at Very Good Price—Two More Transfers to Be Made. Newark. N. J.— Approximately sev enty-flTe square inches of skin were sold by Alden Arms, an Orange youth, to the Orange Memorial hospital, at the rate of 20 cents a square inch. Immediately after the deal was con summated the skin was taken from Arms’ thigh end transferred to the back of Andrew Visconti, fifteen years old. wbo has been an inmate of the hospital since early in July, a victim of a serious burning accident. Sufficient time will be allowed to elapse to determine whether the trans fer has been successful, and if suc cessful two more similar transfers of , cuticle will lie made, to the end that Visconti will be able to go out of the hospital a perfectly well boy With out. the aid of such volunteers as | Arms. Visconti would have to remain j in the fcc.-pltal Indefinitely, unable to get well. The area of his back which was seared by the accident of nearly a month ago Ib so great that nature unaided could not supply the Bkln to cover it. It comprises, the doctors at the hospital say, approximately one and one-half square feet. The experience of surgeons has shown that one healthy, full grown man can spare one-third of the area which Visconti stands in need of with out undergoing serious detriment. For that reason it will be necessary for two others to surrender skin, as Arms has done. At the present time the hospital authorities have no one in view from whom to purchase the requisite skin, but the chances are much In favor, they say. of having on ; hand when needed more volunteers , than are required. Each man who un dergoes the voluntary operation will have tc remain a patient at the hos pital himself tong enough to repair the damage, but the physicians say there is absolutely no dattgsr in it. CATS RELISH KISSING BUGS Feast on Insects as They Fall Fronr Arc Lights—Mother Teachers Kit tens to Appreciate Delicacy. Columbus. Ind.—Kissing bugs are 1 here in swarms, but do not exhibit themselves until after dark. They are commonly called electric light bugs because they swarm about arc lamps They dart here and there in a blind fashion, often striking people in the face, and this gave them the name of “kissing bugs" here, i Cats are fond of “kissing bugs,” and at night a few stray cats can be seen sitting under nearly every arc light in this city. As fast as a bug gets overheated and drops to the street the quickest cat in the bunch darts for ward and has a dainty morsel. One old cat was noticed teaching her kit tens to appreciate kissing bngs. Indian Trail Marks. Toung oaks were cut and bent by Indians in the old Illinois country to mark the trails in leafy June or la the depths of deepest snows. ] I J With all the grass, so lush in June, In haymows stored or stacked a-field, And July’s harvesting in tune For such a glowing, bounteous yield; With all the hot, midsummer days Garnered alike in weeks gone by— We wait the while the soft wind plays Through orchard boughs whose yield is nigh. And while we wait our play-day comes— The holiday of all the year— When Labor’s noise no longer hums, And Labor’s voice is heard in cheer. Then hey the picnic, is the call! And sports come on with leap and bound, The while we hear a voice—“Play ball!” When merry Labor Day comes round. We pack our baskets—or the wife And children do, with hearts alight— All heaping full—and seek the life That Nature whispers us is right. We all are boys and girls again, Although our brow's with age are crowded! We are not women now, nor men— When merry Labor Day comes round. What merry tales the women tell — The portly ones we scarce would know As willowy Jane and slender Nell, In those dear days so long ago! What roystering yams the men spin out While pitching quoits on springy ground, The other fellow's’ girls about— When merry Labor Day comes round. And thus with sport the day goes by,) The toil of all the year forgot; For cheaper ’tis to laugh than cry— For man as w'ell as little tot. God bless the holiday that comes Into our lives with such a bound! When Labor’s noise no longer hums, And merry Labor Day comes round. j Literature on Labor BAYARD TAYLOR. Labor, you, know, is prayer. Toll to some is happiness and rest to others. BEECHER. It is not work that kills men; It is worry. Work, good, honest labor, is healthy.

Crouse, Manchester, Iowa, lays: “For two years my back was weak. Rheumatic pains racked my lower limbs day and night. The pas sages of the kidney secretions were an noyingly irregular. When I started using Doan’s Kidney Pills, these troubles soon lessened and the dull backache vanished. 7 My kidneys now act normally and I give Doan's Kidney Pills credit for this wonderful change.” Remember the name—Doan’s.

My mother had a child who had a rash on Its head when it was real young. Doctor called it baby rash. He gave us medicine, but it did no good. In a few days the head was a solid mass, a running sore. It was awful; the child cried continually. We had to hold him and watch him to keep him from scratching the sore. His suffering was dreadful. At last we remembered Cuticura Remedies. We got a dollar bottle of Cuticura Re solvent, a box of Cuticura Ointment, and a bar of Cuticura Soap. We gave the Resolvent as directed, washed the head with the Cuticura Soap, and ap plied the Cuticura Ointment. We had not used half before the child's head was clear and free from eczema, and it has never come back again. His head was healthy and he had a beau tiful head of heir. I think the Cuti cura Ointment very good for the hair. It makes the hair grow and prevents falling hair.” (Signed) Mrs. Francis Lund. Plain City, Utah, Sept. 19, 1910. Although Cuticura Soap and Oint ment are sold everywhere, a sample of each, with 32-page book, will be mailed free on application to "Cuti cura,” Dept. 12 L, Boston. Emerson's Story of Gratitude. There is a beautiful little story in Emerson’s recently published “Jour nals,” of which his son, the editor. Dr. Edward W. Emerson, said the poet was very fond.
