BRIDE IN DISTRESS
I
Wanted to Go to Coney Island,
but Boarded Albany Boat.
S> rrpathctic Hudson River Tugboat
Captain Took Her Off and Re
turned Her to "Bridegroom
of Few Weeks.”
New York—A woman w ho de- j
scribed herself as Mrs. J. 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.

Alpaca Coat Worn in Paris
Seal Summer Weather Works Revolu
tion in Men’s Fashions in French
Capital—Few of Changes.
St. Louis.—"Whew! 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. They found me sleeping
under a railroad bridge.
“That old song. ’There's No Place

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.

] 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

CHILD’S HEAD
A MASS OF HUMOR
“I think the Cuticura remedies are
the best remedies for eczema I have
ever heard of. 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
