UNMASKED BY WAR CENSUS

Many Men Leading Double Lives or Hiding Prison Records Unearthed in New York Canvass. Scores of men who are leading double lives have been tripped up by the police check census, taken some time ago, of all the dwelling places in the city, says the New York World. _ These men are appealing to Director Goodrich to know whether they will be allowed to register twice, once under their “proper” names and again under the assumed names they employ at their regular establishments. Many cases have developed of the “man without a country.” Former convicts now living respectable lives have called and said they “lost their citizenship” and did not dare to affirm that they were citizens, but their chief trouble was regarding the citizenship of their children, and whether they would have to reveal their former lives to their families. They were told to state they were citizens, as they had only lost certain of the rights of citizens. ZZ A man was asked if he was married and replied: “I don’t know; the jury Is still out.” Deserted wives have wrltTiu Iff by the store asking for help In finding their husbands.

The Country Girl

By Mary Parrish

(Copyright, by W. G. Chapman.) “Get onto the new girl In the socks!” Which being-interpreted.meant: “Notice the new saleslady in the ladles’ hosiery department” “Yes,” responded Mazie Snow, at the ribbons. “She’s from the country, all right.” Rachel Beck paused to extract a wad of gum from her mouth, and carefully fastened It to the under side of the counter, then she drawled: “How do you know?” “How do I know?” snorted Mazie. “Well, if you’ve Hved over twenty years on this planet and can’t spot a Jay from Jaytown, you’d better go back and get Incarcerated over again.” “I haven’t lived twenty years yet on this planet and I’ve never been Incarcerated—to my knowledge!” answered Rachel resentfully.

“I guess Mazie was trying to say you’d better get ‘reincarnated,’ and got balled up in her Webster.” “Oh,” eaid Rachel, somewhat mollified. “Well, if I were Mazie I wouldn’t try to monkey with big words. Well, Hazel looks sort of nice, anyway.”' “So you’ve got on chinning terms so quick!” put in Sarah Stempel, the first speaker. “I just heard her telling the floorwalker her name, and he.seemed to be taking notice like he’d got his first tooth.” “She wants to look out for that guy,” observed Mazie evening up some boxes with a bang. “Geel look at her smile at that customer. She’ll get over that before six o’clock.” But Hazel didn’t “get over IL” She was always smiling and good-natured; and that may have been the reason why the floorwalker went on “taking notice.” Mazie Snow having at one time been on exceedingly good terms with' the floorwalker, and longer on such terms, had taken occasion to warn the other girls to beware of his doubtful attentions, and some of them having had real cause to suspect these

“She’s From the Country, All Right” gentlemen on general principles, were ready to take Mazie’s advice to not let Mr. Welch get “fresh.” So it was with something akin to alarm that Rachel and Sarah beheld the Increasing friendliness of the floorwalker to little Hazel. “That kid’s too green and unbaked to‘ be let to go wrong,” observed Sarnh to the other two girls one morning after Hazel told her that Mr. Welch had taken her to the movies. “I think,” jßold Rachel, “you QUght to tell her to keep carbon tabs on his nibs, and not fall for the first dope he offers.”

“Oh, yes, tell her,” laughed Mazie In the satirical tone of a blase rounder. “It’ll do a’lot of good, won’t It? I guess she knows what she’s throwing bait for. I saw her with a new one last Sunday, and say, girls! he was the nifty goods!” Hazel began to get some rather cold shoulders from the girls, all but Rachel Beck, who still clung to her impression that thd newcomer looked “sort of nice.” Acting on this inj pression, she drew from Hazel some Information about herself. She had come from the country. Her father had a snjall fruit farm, but had lately lost a good deal of money, and Hazel had Come down to the city In the hope of lightening his load. She took Sarah’s advice about the floorwalker In good part, but declared she had seen nothing so far in. him but the most gentlemanly conduct. Hazel opened her eyes so wide In surprise at Rachel's warning, she expected to be resentfully told to mind her own business, but Instead „the girl answered: “I think it’s real good and friendly of you, Rachel. I wish you’d come home to- dinner with me some time. I get awfuL lonesome nights, there all alone in my room.” Rachel accepted the invitation to the boarding house table, and In turn invited Hazel to share the hospitality of father and mother and the four small Becks. - — ~

' THE EVENING REPUBLICAN, RENSSELAER, IND.

One Monday morning .Mazie Snow, with the Important air of one who has some surprising news, asked the two girls, Rachel and Sarah, If they had seen the gorgeous new outfit of HazeL Neither of them had. “Well,” said Mazie, “if you’d seen the dress she. had ons Satin —no cheap rags—the sort that hangs like a'fashion piate, and a coat they ain’t marking down from thirty-five. The hat wasn’t home trimming nor Fourteenth streeL neither. I was that knocked silly I didn’t half bow, but I guess she didn’t mind much. I don’t care what any of you say, those gladsome garments weren’t cashed up out of eight dollars a week.” Sarah looked unutterable things, and curtly observed she hadn’t been able to do that kind of a conjuring trick; but Rachel turned sadly away saying nothing. If the girl she had learned to reftHy care for-had gone wrong, It was something too pitiful for words.

Rachel went the next Suhday to see Hazel, and found her. just leaving the 'house with a young man, evidently the one Mazie had described as “the nifty goods.” Hazel seemed in high- spirits, and looked exceedingly charming tn the aforesaid “gladsome garments.” She asked Rachel to come with them. But Rachel felt decidedly out of place with the stylish, well-groomed pair, and declined. The next news to startle the. ribbon counter was that Hazel was leaving the store, and the following day she bade the girls good-by. When they asked her where she was going she answered she was going home. None of them believed her. She drew Rachel’s arm in hers as they left the store, and said: “They just want to think the worst of me! Well, I don’t care what*they think! But you, Rachel, are different. You’re going to have your vacation in about a month, aren’t you?” “Yes,” she answered. “I want you to come out for a few days. I’ll write you how to come, and send you the fare ; will you?” Rachel promised, but It must he coi> fessed she wondered a bit If she would ever again see Hazel. But the money for the fare, and’ the Invitation for a certain date came on time. When Rachel next appeared among the girls at the store she was the center of an awesome group.

“You just ought to see that house,” she said, “great big rooms with ever so manywindows, andmy I such things to eat! and your plate plied up over and over just as though no one was worrying about the high cost of living. There was flowers in all the rooms, and everyone sort of excited, and Hazel said they were going to have a party. Hazel’s father and mother are awful nice, and her father is doing real well now. Her mother sent the money to buy those’clothes you saw her have on. Well, to get back to the party. A whole lot of people began to come, and well, say, girls, you could have bowled me over with a feather when I saw his nobs, the floorwalker, apd Mr. Fraser, she had introduced to me that day. Say, they’re cousins, and that’s how she got the job. The next thing I saw was Welch making a sort of pathway through the people from the hall door up to the front window, then be and the ‘nifty’ one walking up together and standing beside a man with a book In his hand. Then music behind somewhere started up the wedding march, and in comes Hazel looking as sweet as a peach in a perfect dream of a dress, veil, orange blossoms, and all, her father leading her to it.” “Which one did she marry?” chorused the girls. “Why, Fraser, the ‘nifty one,’ of course. Welch was only the best man. But I tell you he did look some swell—and he was awful, nice to me.”

ACTION COST CHAUFFEUR TIP

Little Joke Practiced on “Newlyweds” Caused Resentment in Young i Husband's Breast The chauffeur who was to drive the newly wedded couple from the church to the station liked to “kid” one along. So when they stepped Into the taxi he was prominently adjusting his little mirror In front. The bridegroom was worried. So he noticed the young man fixing the mirror. He was suspicious. Yes, he should have been suspicious, for the horrid man was fixing that mirror so that he could see right back Into the back seat. The bride breathlessly settled down for the short ride. But dear Henry did .not offer one post-nuptial caress. He was- very formal and still. The young bride had beard of deserting husbands, but Henry seemed 80 nice and so in earnest Could Henry be one of those —” ’ The car stopped and the couple alighted. The bridegroom blushed deeply as Jie handed the taxi driver his fee. But no tip. He would show the hoirld thing. Pullman porters were not so inquisitlve.-*lndlanapolis News.

“Skidding Jane.”

A certain distinguished and noble member of the cabinet applied for the use of a government motorcar the other day to use on “business of national importance,” as the phrase goes. He was sent a car driven by a very smart and attractive looking chauffeuse, says the Londong Chronicle. About four or five hours later his lordship appeared in a towering rage and asked what they meant by sending him a woman who drove in a most reckless manner, endangering his life from the moment he got into his car. “Oh, they must have sent you 'Skidding Jane I’ ” said the officer in charge, nonchalantly.
