Tlio iipeedy disappearance of wife beaters , home deserters and tramps and the alleviation of some of the In justices of the present penal system nro the objects alined at In nn Idea being worked out by Mrs. Mary 13 , , Ido , 1038 Kenmore avenue. Chicago , n member of the North Und Woman's club and of the League of Cool : Coun ty Clubs , who Is busily engaged In de veloping the del n Us of her schema and enlisting others In ltd support. Mrs , Ide has long seen it great Injus tice In the modern prison lu that the heaviest bunion entailed by the sen tencing of a criminal to a teim be hind the bars falls often not on the culprit himself , but on his lamlly. The man goes to Jull and may or may not be put at hard labor , but his family Is left out In the world and IIIUHI shift for Itself. "Why , I have even heard of criminal husbands , " said Mrs Ide In explaining < < * S her plans , "who held their wives In submission by the threat that they would go to jail for a rest and leave them without any support at all. " But all this would be changed If Mrs. Ide could have her way. and jail would be far too serious n proposition and too much like prosale. everyday working for a living to be considered for it moment by the leisurely inellneil. The gist of the proposed plan IH this : Let the criminal , when sent to jail , bo put at his trade or labor and paid a regular union wage. Then let his bouul and lodging be deducted and Un balance be sent to his family , so leav ing the bin dens of a Jail sentence to fall where they are Intended to fall To carry out the plan It would lie necessary , aeeoidlng to the originator , to change the prisons about so as to give them less of the present day as pect of "houses of correction" and to give them more of the natme of "houses of trades. " Mrs. Ide would pro for that they be made In reality colonies or virtual llttlo towns , with nil sorts of factories and Industries and onnor- tunltles to put each man to work at the trade or labor for which he Is most fitted. If he Is not fitted for any , let him learn one nnd go to work. There would be shoe factories , mat tress factories , furniture shops , car pentry shops , printing olllccs , stonecutting - ting sheds , brickyards , tile manufac turing plants , and the products of all would be placed on the market and no loss entailed to the state , for Mrs. Ide sees lu her plan the elimination of one of the greatest objections to prison made articles. "Pay Is the keynote to my plan , " ! snld she. "If we can pay the prisoner the regular union wage. 1 believe that' ' the greatest obstacle , the opposition of the trade unions , will be overcome. Now the prison made articles are man ufactured by free labor Let the men be paid wages and their product put on the market I think that this wage and the consequent Justice to the pits- oners' dependents should obviate the objections of unions , though 1 haven't yet consulted labor leaders. "The expressions of opinion which I have received have all been very f < i- vornble to my Idea. Superintendent Whitman of the house of correction said that It Is Just the thing we are coming to , and we may as well take | It up now as later , and .Judge Clehuid snld that the plan bad many good Ideas I spoke to .Judge Mack about It also and nsk'd { him If my plan was Impracticable 'He ' told me I was on exactly 'the right track nnd urged mete to hold to It " Mrs. Ide Intends to enlist the aid of prominent judges and lawyers through expressions of opinion from each and then start the work of raising popular subscriptions through personal can- vasslng for funds to carry on the cam paign of publicity As the club Rea son Is over mid the aid of women's or ganizations en line t be enlisted. Mrs. Ide Intends to earry on her work pri vately through the summer and have the plan well developed by the time the women's clubs can take It up In the fall She lias lieen promised the tloor at the first meeting of the League of Cook County Clubs "Make the criminal dread the Jail sentence less ami crowd the prisons ? Not In the least ! " sjild Mrs Ide In de- fendltiK her plan "The criminal Is n t the man who will look on the oppor tunity to support his family under compulsion as an Inducement to go to Jail.

Copyrighted , 1009 , by Associated { Literary I'rcss. He was big and burly , n figure In his fantastic dross to make all the little boys giggle nnd the llttlo girls stnro. half frightened. That was when ho was In the ring. But when ho wns clothed In the ordi nary gnrb of a citizen ho wns simply n fresh fnccd boy who could stroll ulong the village streets without attracting unusual attention. Ho liked the llttlo villages where the circus stnyed for-n dny or > two nnd then moved on languidly down dusty roads to the next stopping place. "Some time. " ho said to the llttlo clown , "I'd Just like to stay behind In one of these llttlo towns nnd turn farmer mid stop being funny for awhile. " The little clown wns a woman. When she was dressed for the ring she wore Infantile clothes , with a blue sash , and carried a big stick of red striped candy , nnd nil the llttlo girls and boys would almost go into convul sions of laughter when she shook her rattle at them. "I know , " said the little clown , "how you feel. Sometimes I think It would be nice to have a little house and make bread nnd put the week's wnsh out on the green grass and have u cat and a fireplace" Her voice trailed off dreamily. The big clown looked down at her. "I've been funny nil my life. " he snld. "When I wasn't anything but a baby my father used to take me In the ring with him. He wns a clown , too , and I've Just grown up to It. " The little clown nodded sympnthctlc- nlly. "Most of us grow up to It , " she said , "and then somehow wo can't gel away. " The big clown stood up. It wns time for him to go into the ring. lie twirled his pointed lint In his bund and then put It on. "I am going to get nwny from it. " he snld. "I wnnt u home nui1 neighbors. I'd like to bo n sheriff ir some town or mayor or on the schoo board"He smiled till the thick white paint on bis face was folded Into dee ] creases. Then he was off to the ring , nnd the llttlo clown turned her attention to the contortionist , who wns in shining Irl descent green like a snake. "I wish you wouldn't pay so much attention to the Ma clown. " the center tlonlst told her. "I can't ever got a minute with you. " The little clown looked at him with eyes that went beyond him througl the door of the tent to where the ap pie trees were. Hinging up pink branch es to n sapphire sky. "Did you ever see anything so pret ty ? " she asked , and pointed to it. But tlie contortionist had no eyes for apple trees. "I have never seen anything so pretty as you are , " he said , "and If you will stop this clowi business and marry mo I will put you lu an act that will give you a chance to show people how good looking yoi are. You could wear white and your hair in yellow ringlets down your bad and a gold crown. And I'd put on ret with horns , and we'd give an nnge ami devil act. " The little clown leaned forwurt eagerly. " 1 have always wanted to do something like that. " she said "I've wanted to have nn net tha would make people do something be sides giggle , and I ought to get prct ty good pay. " "Well. 1 should say , " the contortion 1st bragged. "I got bigger pay now than any ono In the show , and you't Just about double it after 1 had taugh you what to do. It would be swel business. " "Yes , " said the llttlo clown , "i rould. " And when the contortionist bad gone the little clown sought the boardet lady. "Which would you rather do , " she demanded ; "have a little house In a country town , with a fireplace and i cat and a husband that people lookct up to , or would you rather be a'head liner In the circus business ? " Now , the bearded lady. In spite o : her masculine appearance , was a wist woman and a sympathetic one. "I' < rather be the wife of the man 1 loved , ' she told the little clown , "whether ho was In n country village or the circus It isn't the iil.'ice that makes us happy It's the man. " The little clonii nodded tier head "P.ut I'm. not sure , " she began , nut then the bearded lady said , "Well , bt , suie before you decide. " "How am I going to know ? " ques tloned the little clown. "Yon'II Itnow when the time comes , ' said the bearded lady sensibly. And after the llttlo clown had gone awa > the bearded lady sat and thought ant thought , and when the performance was over sht > sent for the big clown. "So you love the llttlo clown ? " she said. I "How did you know ? " ho demanded I "Everybody knows , " the bearded lady told him. "You can't hide It. " i "Well. I do love her , " the big clowi confessed , "and I wont to take he away from all this and llvo In a llttlo house In a little town and have chick ens and n cow" "The little clown wants a flreplae and n cat. " smiled the bearded lady "but It all amounts to the same thing. ' "Hid she tell you ? " the big clown asked eagerly. "Yes , " said the bearded lady , "bu she Is not sure that she loves you , ant It's up to you to make her sure. " "But how ? " demanded the big clown "Leave the show , " was the sage ad vice , "at the next village and oee how she takes It. " So the next night when the light were out In the big tent and the tlret porfnrn ers wore packing their belong Into trunks and bags the big clown came to the llttlo clown and , said. "Cloodby. " j "But but. " the little clown stam mered , "I don't want you to gol" "I nm going to settle down , " the big clown twld her. "and Imvo n little house with a fireplace nnd a cat. " The little clown caught her breath quickly. "And who's going to keep house for you ? " she asked wistfully. "I shall live alone" the big clown's voice had n note of pathos. "There Is only one woma'n that I should care to Imvo sit In front of that fireplace , and she values fame nnd fortune more than she values love , " "What makes you think thnt ? " cried the llttlo clown , and just then the con tortionist cnme in. Ho were n long fnwn ulster nnd n high hat. "My automobile Is outside , " he said to the little clown , "nnd I have nsked the bearded lady to rldo with us to the next village. It Is much more pleas ant than to go In the vans. " "Thank you very much , " snld the llttlo clown , nnd held out her bund to the big clown. "I hope you'll bo very happy all alone In your big house , " she snltl to the big clown , "with your chickens and your cow and your fireplace and your cat" Her voice broke , and shoran ran out of the tent. The big clown took n step forward , but the bearded lady stopped him. "Let her alone , " she said quietly , "Let her alone. " And presently the big machine whizzed away , and the big clown was left alone beneath the stars of the spring night. He snt down on his trunk In the middle of the deserted ring and planned how on the morrow bo would get his money out of tlio bank nnd build n house and begin n new life as n substantial citizen. But nil the joy hud gene strangely out of his plans when ho could not see the fuce of the little clown at his ta ble or her slender figure In the big chair lu front of the fireplace. And even while ho yearned for her she cnme to him , running over the sawdust silently , so thnt he did not know she wns there until her arms wcro nbout his neck. "I made him lot mo out , " she sobbed. "Oh. I hate him ! lie is so sure of himself and of mo. And the bearded lady got out , too , and she Is coming to play propriety , only she Is so much slower than I am. , And I want to llvo in a little house with you and have chickens and a cow" "And a fireplace nnd n cut. " The llg clown had her In his arms , and there .was deep joy In his voice. "And you shall be the mayor some day. " planned the little clown. "And you shall make bread and hang your clothes on the grass , " laughed the big clown. "And you'll both live happy ever after. " prophesied the bearded lady , who just then came up , panting , nnd gave thorn her blessing like a very hairy godmother. / UbrForts' Corner.

The f Matchmaking of By LULU JOHNSON. ; ; Copyrighted. 1P09. by Aiooclated Literary 1'rcss. With a Binlle of glorious anticipation Illuminating his chubby face , Bobby trotted up the street as fast as a pair of very fat mid very little legs would carry him. Ilo was going to see Dick Brant. Next to visiting Alice May- ling this wan bin greatest treat. Richard Brant could not mnko amaz ing cookies and preserves like Miss Mayllng , but ho could tell stories of Indians and grizzlies and other crea tures dear to the small boy's heart. Miss Mayllng's stories carried morals and were about little boys who were so very'good that Bobby found them extraordinarily uninteresting. Hud It not been that the Mayllng cakes were as good as her young heroes Bobby would not have been n frequent caller on Alice Mayllng. Thl.s afternoon as ho was warming his dimpled hands before the open lire he regarded with secret nwe the deft fashion In which Brunt rolled himself a cigarette with one hand. Brant had been a plainsman until he had run across n mine while he was looking for stray cattle , and he could throw a rope and talk real Indian talk. " 1 looked for you yesterday , " said Dick Brant gravely as he sank Into a chair on the opposite side of the fire place. "I was seeing Miss Mnyllng , " ex plained Bobby. "She makes cake on Thursdays. " "And you deserted me because Miss Mayllng was making cnko ! " cried Dick solemnly. In reality , though ho used mock pathos , ho was a little Jcaloiufof Miss Mayllng's popularity with his lit tle chum. Somehow Bobby seemed to Brnnt the most .sincere friend he had made In the My eastern city. "Cake Is nice Just out of the oven , " explained Bobby. "She always bakes a little cake for me , and of course I have to go and eat it. " "I suppose so , " assented Dick , "but I was very lonesome yesterday. " "I'm sorry , " said Bobby , with prompt penitence and a troubled face. "Wouldn't It be nice , " he added , "If i could go to see you and Miss Mnyllng at the same time ? You could tell mo stories and she could bake cnko. " He stared Into the fire , lost In rap ture at the thought of this mont valua ble combination. Dick looked scared and blushed. Ilo was little used to feminine society , and a suggestion like that , oven from Bobby , startled him. Besides , he had been secretly studying Miss Mayllng from afar. "Then you wouldn't be lonesome any more , " resumed Bobby , the vast at tractions of his good Idea growing on him , "not even If I didn't come and see you. 'cause then you and she would have each other. But of course 1 would come to see you , " he added quickly. "It would be awful nice. " "I guess It would , " assented Dick n llttlo absently. "Then why don't you ? " demanded Bobby , with engaging directness.N "To begin with. I don't know her. " explained Dick. "You fee. a man haste to know a lady before he can call on her , and I've never met Miss May llng. " When Bobby finally trotted away ho was thinking deeply. It was absurd that his best man should not know Miss Mayllng. At the next baking day at Miss May Hug's the thought was revived , and with a denl-tl that meant Immense de termination to him he obtained per mission to take his small spice cake home. As soon as lie- was out of her sight he carried It in Brant , his fat lega speeding wonderfully. "Ain't It 'lino ' ? " he demanded eagerly when he had watched Brant devour the last pky morsel , not without envy that Almost assumed n iipoignant de gree. "Simply great. " admitted Brant , with unforced enthusiasm. " 1 tell you. Bob by , the woman who made that cake Is a wonder of n cook. " Bobby beaircd his professional satis faction. "I thought you'd like It. " he said confidently "Plio makes nicer cakes than that sometimes. I'll brin- , ' you another when she makes fruit cake. " "Don't do It. " advised Brant smil ingly. "If tlio fruit cake Is as good as this I'm liable to abduct her and fore her to bake cnko for me for the rest of her life. " "What's abduct ? " demanded Bohbj. When the woid had been explained to him he wrinkled his pudcy brows pui If another deep Idea bad come to him. us that contortion wntld scorn to de note. It remained a secret In his fat breast "Give us an Indian story. " he demanded. "All right , bon , " said Dick as he stretched himself out In his easy chair and prepared to entertain his small guest with the , story of how Chief Spotted Panther carried off his Indian bride from the camp of a hostile tribe. He was unusually graphic In his Btory telling , for as he went on he be. Kan to Imagine that he was Spotted Panther and Miss Mayllng was the Indian maid. Thus sadly had the un principled suggestions of the scheming Bobby contaminated Dick Brant's good manners. But It must be admitted lu his favor that It was not the cake , but the memory of her womanly Bwect- ness , that tired his thoughts and lent eloquence to his tongue , It was a deeply Impressed small boy who climbed down off the chair arm when the tale was done and regret fully announced that ho would have to be going homo. The very next day ho went to visit Miss Mnyilng with the more or less peremptory request that she bake him a fruit cake. "Going to have a ten party. Bobby ? " she asked gayly. But Bobby shook ins dead solemnly and declined to bo drawn Into trivial conversation. "I want It for muni1 one sonic one who doesn't get nice cake , " ho con descended at last , examining Miss Mnyllng Bhrewdly us he Bpoke , "If you don't tell mo who It Is 1 won't bake It for you. " she teased , an ticipating the revelation of mime new love affair. Bobby was as popular 111 he was tickle , and Miss Mnyllng , hard ened by experience with the yuuug man , mipposed that only the power of love could liuvo Induced him to forego the eating of her cake the day before. "Hnvo 1 got to ? " he asked anxiously , fearful that n premature explanation might destroy the success of the ab duction. "Certainly , " Insisted Miss Mnyllng Bobby was dismayed. But the cake must be secured at all hazards. "It's for Mr. Brnnt. " ho explained. "Ho said If you baked him a fruit cake he'd come with his pony and hit all the chiefs on tho'head with a torn- myhawk and carry you off and innka you bake cake for him all the rest of your life. You'll have to live In u tent and cook with hot stones instead of a gns range , and and anyhow , ho says he'll do It If you tempt him with fruit cake. " Miss Mnyllng leaned over and kissed the earnest little face. "I think , " she said softly , "that I'll ' bake two little cakes next week , Bob by , so that you and your friend shall each have one. " Bobby looked Into the serene face. Into which there had crept something ho had never seen there before n ten der curve to the even lips , a new light In tht ! brown eyes that made them glow and sparkle and film with tears by turns. Ilo had always thought Miss May Hug almost as pretty as his mother , but now bo was disloyal for a mo mcnt and thought she was more beau tiful than anybody he had ever seen. Ills moist little fingers clasped her slim , cool hand , and ho looked up Into her starry eyes. "I wish I was big enough to 'duct you , " ho snld onvlounly. "I bet Mr. Brant wouldn't get that cako. " Alice Mnyllng bent over and pinched his chubby cheeks. "Bobby , my dear , you remind mo o n certain llttlo god without whose alt Lochlnvar himself would have failed. ' And then she looked up suddenly to sec passing her window n tall , strulghl figure , with his glance firmly fixed ahead. "Of course he wouldn't bo so or dlnary ns to stare In hero , " she salt softly. "But 'he's the sort who'll fliit n way and I don't think I'll make It very hard for him. " Bobby cuddled closer to her soft silken frock. "What makes grownups say thing , that don't tell anything ? " he demand cd. But she did not answer. Barring It Out.
