TALES FROM BIG CITIES

The Tighter the Skirts the Slower the Trains PniLADELPHIA.- c -“Cberchez la femme," says the French proverb. But an American proverb says, “Corporations have no souls.” How then can the former apply to a railroad company? Nevertheless, tight skirts on women passengers have upset sefied-

In reply to a complaint of the South Jersey Commuters’ association the management says the running time of trains cannot be shortened unless styles of skirts change. . . Taking or- leaving h- train anywhere Is no easy task for the t g woman, but in New Jersey it is serious business. The equipment there is largely old Pullmans converted into day coaches. Formerly- a porter put a stool under the bottom step, but there is no stool or porter now and the women have fairly to throw themselves into the arms of the brakemen tn detraining. In entraining the situation is even worse. Everybody knows that railroad companies tell the truth at all times, even concerning a delayed train. So this deplorable situation in New Jersey must be accepted as having more or less foundation of fact. And it opens up questions of more than local importance. Bor example. , Does the economy in skirt "material even up for the extra expense to t e railroads? , What would happen if the Pennsylvania company should use modern cars in New Jersey ? Would the train schedules get back to normal or would the skirts get another reef?

“De Gang” Is Rounded Up by the Police Patrol MILWAUKEE.— As the patrol Stopped before the central police station passers-by stopped to gaze curiously as the “criminals” were unloaded. Out stepped a burly policeman and a sheepish small boy, followed by

“another; {sheepish, and yet others, till there stood eight naughty little urchins; all grinning shamefacedly, all twisting their worn caps In dirty fingers, all with faces decorated with flowing mustaches and beards, traced in coal dust on their scarcely less grimy faces. . j They had been caught building bonfires between the tracks back of the Central Chemical company, 446 Barclay street. The rapidly mounting—blaze had nearly caught a well-stored

boxcar and had threatened wooden frame buildings in the vicinity. lie policeman on the beat, having heard complaints for several weeks about the escapades of the “gang,” decided to give them a scare so called out the real, honest-to-goodness pairol wagon, rushed them all off to the police sta tion, and held them there until Captain Sullivan arrived. The discipline didn’t work very well, though, for the boys, considering the whole affair an exciting adventure, enjoyed themselves hugely, talking to the detectives and officers', and storing up information to retail to their friends about the “pleece station.” Everybody made pets of them—until the C!1I)t It n was in a meek little group of kiddies That filed out of the captain’s office, which they had entered with such a swagger. Captain Sullivan, to whom the distracted policeman had related his troubles at the hands of the “little imps,” made them understand a few things about endangering other people’s property, and evidently they took it to heart. Those of the boys who had not participated in the building of the bonfire, but merely came along as witnesses, were as chastened as the culprits. Only the two elder boys, fourteen and fifteen years old, were held at Detention home. The others being too little to find their way home finished up the day gloriously by a ride back in the chief’s automobile, with the long-suffering policeman aS nurse maid in charge.

with a wailing baby. Mr. Orner accents confidences. The mother tells him: “My baby’s hungry. I don’t know what to do.” “Oh, I’ll fix that” says Mr. Orner, and he runs downstairs to the engine room. Getting a bucket of hot water from the boiler he comes swiftly back. “Warm the bottle in this,” he suggests. And it is done. The' telephone bell rings. A voice asked : “Oh, Mr. Orner, what time is it?” Since “central” quit telling the Time to patrons Mr. Orner’s business has grown. In the summer he tells the most of Wilmette how the baseball ■cores stand. There Is, however, a fly in Wilmette’s ointment—the name of its champion neighborhood halidyman. Maybd’ a public tag day will be pulled off before Long to enable him to change it to Handy, Helper, Ade, Iledcross or Attaboy. Anyway, Wilmette insists there’s nothing Ornery about its station agent.

ules on the railroads only slightly less than a. blizzard. The Pennsylvania railroad, which reduces the operation of trains to scientific accuracy of detail, has found that since the women have begun wearing tight skirts the average train stop Is now 17 seconds longer than when skirts were short and loose. Thus we have this paradox: The running time of trains is lengthened as that of women Is shortened.

HAD ONE NIGHT’S GOOD SLEEP

Under the Circumstances, It Was kittle Wonder Private. Stevenson Was Late for Reveille. Ft was almost dark when a company of doughboys entered a town that had just been evacuated by the retreating Germans. Private Stevenson began searching for where he might spread his blankets for the night. Entering a room, he found a spring bed. white sheets, white pillowcases nnd a fireplace. “Och-la-la 1” he said, and began taking off his shoes. % ' A few minutes later a woman entered. She explained that a German count had occupied the room for a number of weeks, and said that at that very moment there was reposhig under the >d a trunkful of fine linen and nightgowns which, the count might return for at any time. t ~ J * That night Private Stevenson slept tn a soft woolen nightgown, and for nirtny days afterward he was doing Iris best to square matters with his first sergeant because of being late for reveille the following morning.

Bobby, a Muncie boy whose age is five, could not be made to understand the meaning of the Boy Scouts organization which he saw marching in a patriotic parade, the scouts being attired somewhat similarly to the uniformed souliers who were also in the parade. .

WHY DRUGGISTS RECOMMEND SWAMP-ROOT For many years druggists have watched with much interest the remarkable record maintained by Dr. Kilmer’s Swamp-Root, the great kidney, liver and bladder medicine. It is a physician’s prescription. Swamp-Root is a strengthening medicine. It helps the kidneys, liver and bladder do the work nature intended they should do. • Swamp-Root has stood the test of years. It is sold by all druggists on its merit and it should help you. No other kidney medicine has so many friends. Be sure to get Swamp-Root and start treatment at once. —--- However, if you wish first to test this great preparation send ten cents to Dr. Kilmer & Co., Binghamton, N. Y., for a sample bottle. When writing be sure and mention this paper.— Adv.
