"WtiCt. Strikes me particularly about the

Troubled Tourist. "In the perfectly quiet
manner In which they enjoy themselves
veT Sunday, had a Rood r.hanea to ob
Lena, this by goin to a. picnic, and, be
(leva me,-. I thought I- ha1 struck a good
old-fashioned western riot. ''
"It. ai nothing of. that kind, however.
I wax ussurert it It the next day when I
ww W'Oie leaner that 4 Jolly' outing was
heida.nd that a- most enjoyable time wns
had by .all. ' a there were only six men

'I underitiiod that formerly the day wa

"Aa near s I can figure It out when the
Joyous metropolite goes out for a good time
on Sunday he either goes to a Jolly picnic
like the aforementioned affair or gets In
an ailtoYnobne and rides. 700 -miles before
breakfast Monday morning.
"Others" choose a milder form of amuoe
ment, like a double-header base bait name
on a VaVid lot somewhere and Ret enough
unburn and bllHtera to keep them fairly
mlsetabhj till the middle of the week. The
fame Ji sometimes continued on the cars
on ther homeward, trlpjnuoh to the delight
of the other passengers, though I believe
the police have unfeelingly Interfered with
this innocent amusement of late, as some
passengers were mean enough to object to
err,'

"THK UESTFULKST PLACE IS BKOOK
JLYN." having their huts hammered down over
thair heads.
"SUM otlnrs like to go down and sit on
the nice, soft sand, where it Is a million
times hotter than i Lis anywhere else, or
sit on a slrtngplete and fish for hours for
one measly little tomcod.
"There seems to be no greater enjoyment
than to hunt up a real big crowd and stand
packed up tight In It for an hour or so,
while you wait for a ferry or an excursion
or something- The quietest, restfuleet place
I know of on Sunday is Uroadway. No
body wants to go anywhere or do anything
but Just stuy there. Next to Broadway, I
guess, the restfulest place Is Brooklyn,
where all a man' has to do on Hunday Is to
tend the rubber plant and mind the baby."

Loretta's Looking Glass-Held Up to Girl With the Hammer,
Knock, knock, knockety knock!
You begin to hammer at 7 o'clock.
You hammer away
All the busy day.
And your best friends serve as your block.
. Apologies to the poet, but none to youl
You! You are the girl who strikes conver
sation dead as a boy might exterminate a
rabbit with a blow on Its head. The poor
little talk-bunny no more than get his nose
out of the hole than knock! He falls over!
You do It with your little hammer. If
one of the girls has had a trip that took
her to foreign parts or Interesting domestic
scenes,' you may get your hammer ready
the Instant she refers to it. Your Inten
tion Is to brain" the topic, to knock the
life out of It, as soon as she speaks. 1 Of
course, you consider yourself one of those
self-constituted saviours whose mission I
to cure the bragging habit. But the simple
reference to an interesting experience Is
not bragging.' And what you really are
Intent upon doing Is preventing anyone
else from having the distinction or atten
tion that goes to one who has seen or done
something you have not. Your hammer is
a protective weapon used to defend your
own Ignorance and Jealousy.
I know a certain small city where you
and your kind have a kind of terror band.
You keep up the hammering so actively
that even Intelligent people who have seen
.something and have the conversational
power and the Imagination that would
decorate local social affairs are Intimidated
Into silence by the fear of your knocking.
They are the most Inveterate card players
I ever encountered. And they are a ter
ribly bored and boring lot. And you and
your hammer brigade are to blame. . If
one of the girls who has been away to
school mentions that she saw Mary Man
uring at a reception, you whack at her
with the remark. "Indeed! How Interest
ing! Did Mary see you?"
The conversation staggers. It may limp
for a moment -longer. But. with the ex
pert knocking of your kind, you settle Its
struggles to the peace of Inanition. You
observe oh! the fine hatefulness of your
way of doing It that the lecture course
brings a few notorieties to town, so you
have seen some at a distance. "Then the girl
shrinks from your sarcastlo Insinuation
that she has been trying to show otf. And
the conversations are really dead It's a
pity alt of them that you have killed can
not rise up and haunt you. If any human
being deserved to be taken up or run in
for carrying concealed and dangerous Wea
pons, you are that person. And your hate
ful little hammer Is the weapon.
If I were a hostess and saw you coming
to my house, I should give the butler or
the man mowing the lawn an order to eject
you. It's an outrage that those who have
experienced may not exchange reminis
cences or describe to share their pleasures
without being whacked by you.
j You do not happen to be the kind who
I flings your hammer into coif f tires. You do
that might impart interest and distinction
to the social funotlona of your town! Tou
thump till you force society to cards and
othsr unoriginal amusements for protection
against your hammer. You labor under the
Impression that a good conversationalist
Is trying to put on, so you proceed to put
her off by a knock. And tha whole seerst
of your attack Is the vicious envy that
tries to kill what It desires to possess and
cannot.

Make-Believe Good Thing to Play
Almost immediately after the tragic
death of President McKinley, Theodore
Roosevelt took the oath of office In Buf
falo on September U, 1901. It was the
84th of that month before he moved to the
White House. On the nest day Mrs.
Hoosevelt and her children joined the new
president.
. The new mistress of the White House,
however, appeared at no social function
there until the following New Year's day,
when mora than i.000 callers were mada
welcome by the president and his wife.
A cabinet dinner on the day following,
and the debut of Miss Alice Roosevelt on
the Sd opened an administration that was
marked by much social activity, In which
Mrs. Roosevelt was an Interesting and
dominant figure.
Mrs. Roosevelt, who is the second wife
ef the former president, was bom in the
old town of Norwich, Conn., on the 6th of
August, 1SU. Her maiden name was Edith
Kermit Carow, and she, is the daughter of
Charles and Gertruude FMIzabeth (Tyler)
Carow of New York City.
She Is a member of a family as
J
old and distinguished as the Roosevelts.
Bhe Is a woman of great charm and Im
bued with keen Intellectuality. She Is re.
tiring In disposition and shrinks from the
great publicity which has been thrust upon'
her. She is an Ideal wife and mother.
The president's eldest daughter, Alice
Roosevelt J-oiiKworth, is the only child of
the president's first wife, who died In 1SK1
The present Mrs. Roosevelt's children are
Theodore Roosevelt, Jr., born In 1887; Ker
mit, bom In lSKl; Kthe! born in 1891; Arch
(bald, born In IffiU, and Quentln, born In
UW.
Tallps ( Panic.
From lfttl to 1637 an extraordinary rage
for tulip bulbs, wjileh had started In Hol
land, spread through Kurope. Fabulous
prices were demanded for the tubers, rang
ing from H.oop to 18.000 each for choice
specimens. Thousands were - sold on ths
exchanges merely as articles of specula
tion, and when the mania subsided great
numbers of persons were financially ruined
and a panic ensued.
Vnkindness has no remedy at law.
If Captain Kidd Should Run Amuck of Modern Mobs in New York
As children we learned to play at make
believe, and as men and women ws con
tinue to play at It. For what are poetry,
painting, sculpture and acting but make
bellevsT Wa read of a great battle In his
tory and, like the children, we are curious.
We wish to play at battle. In the old days
when we were truly children we would
have fought that battle with snowballs or
with wooden swords, but now we are busy
citizens ot the world, and so we play by
proxy. We call In for our amusement
those whom we employ to play for us
the post, the sculptor, the painter and ths
actor.
A painter paints for us a picture of ths
battle as It appears to his Imagination; a
po$t writes a poem about It; a sculptor
hews out a status of the hero of It, and
an actor dons his Imitation armor and
struts across the stage that we may see
our hero In action. We stand spellbound
before the picture of the painter, though
we, know perfectly well that he knows no
more of how the battle really looked than
we. ourselves knew. We read and sigh over
the Impassioned words in which the poet,
in the character of the hero, cries out for
water to quench his dying thirst; but we
are not at all shocked when we drop Into
our club half an hour later and find the
poet contentedly sipping a Scotch high-ball.
We are not vexed that these things are
only make-bellve. Ws rather prefer them
that way. 'We Still have real soldiers, rob
bers, kings and all that sort of thing. We
m i must -rmil&P'3 rT 61SZMJ JV?r wkim

even have an occasional hero and possibly.
now and then, a martyr; but we care noth
ing for them. We much prefer the heroes,
kings, robbers, martyrs and soldiers of our
playfellows, the artist, the post, the sculp
tor and the aotor. And we are right, for
are not these people much, more splendid
than ths real these creatures who spring
straight from ths brains of our fanciful
brethren aa Minerva Is said to have sprung
from the brain of Jove? The Idler.
