TO FILL 111 GLAY HOLES Drowning of Two Parkside Boys Gives Rise to Resolution. Alderman Dennis, J. S. Egan, of the Ninth ward, yesterday prepared a resolution for presention to the city council on Monday night calling upon the commissioner of public works to have a complete list prepared of the location of every-clay hole within the city limits, that something may be done to protect the lives of the children who insist on swimming In them. The death of Joseph McCabe and William McCormack is the abandoned lagoon In Washington park at Sixty-third street and South Park avenue, promoted the alderman to take action at once. Calumet Heights has at the present time two of these dangerous clay holes and it would be safer for the children of that district if they were filled in at once. OH WAY HOI, INJURED One of Two Parkside Boys Beating Their Way, Hurt at Buffalo. Buffalo, N. T., May 23. (Special) James Ans'ey, fourteen years o'd, living at 6050 Washington avenue. Parkside, narrowly escaped death under a Lake Shore freight train in the Central yards here. He fell in attempting to board the freight which was going at a rapid rate. In falling his left foot got caught In the step and he was dragged for a considerable distance and when he fell off his left leg was severely crushed by the train. He was at once taken to the Emergency hospital. ' Another boy that was with Ansley at the time of the accident told the police that they had left their homes in Chicago a week ago and were trying to get back home when the accident happened. BE6AH Id SOUTH GUI; Former Cub Reporter Now a Staff Man on Smart. Set. Friends of Allan Updegraf, a former newspaper reporter in the South Chicago district, will be glad to learn of his sucess In the literary world. He is now on the regular staff of Smart Set and In the June number appears a poem written by him, entitled. "Wonder." It has been nearly six years since Mr. Updegraf "did" police in South Chicago, and his friends, especially those who were members of the South Chi cago Press club, can distincly remem ber his first "stunt" with a newspaper. He was from Missouri Springfield and a newcomer was always given the glad hand and thrice welcomed into the folds of newspaperdom. He was a freshman In all that the name implies, as .he came direct irom school at the Springfield (Mo.) college. It was not long, however, until it became apparent that his associates were not In his class. Folowlng his departure from South Chicago he entered Tale and after a brief course at that institution he again took up newspaper and magazine work, and is at present Identified with the well known publication. His literary ability and attainments can be accounted for in a measure. His mother, preceding her death a few year ago, was an author of note, and shortly before her death completed a book dedicated to her son, Allan. fctonnfng and Discretion. Cunning has only private selfish aims, and sticks at nothing which may make them succeed. Discretion has large and extended views, and, like a well-formed eye, commands a whole horizon; cunning is a king of shortsightedness, that discovers the minutest objects which are near at hand, but 13 not able to discern things at a distance. Discretion, the more it is discovered, gives a greater authority to the person who possesses it. Joseph Addison. Oldest Encyclopedia.

A Question of Home Economics. J By J. LUDLUM LEE. $ Copyrighted. 1903, by Associated J Literary Press. "My country, right or wrong, but ttill my country," murmured Eleanor Wright ivlth great satisfaction as she gazed through the open window at the apple trees laden with gorgeous blossoms. She loved the place and every stick and stone on it. It was hers by right of inheritance, and she would leave it for no man. True, her old nurse, Roxanna, had forsaken her to become the bride of Abraham, the head gardener on the adjoining estate, and Jt seemed as if a landmark had been torn up by the very roots. One must learn to part with landmarks, so Eleanor had promised to go to Itoxanna's wedding. She jumped into the little runabout which was waiting for her at the door. No groom attended her, for all the darkies on the place had been given a holiday that they, too, might attend the wedding. She drove down the fa miliar lane to the cabin in the woods, where hundreds of darkies had congregated. Only one other white per son was in sight, a tall, lithe youth astride a roan horse. ' Most of the colored men wore white linen suits, immaculately clean, and carried canes of crooked old birch and hickory. The women were arrayed to shame Solomon in all his glory4 They drew aside as the two white persons came into their midst Eleanor drove up at the side of the house and de scended with the aid of many black hands. The tall youth stayed on his horse and took up a stand near the front door. Arm in arm the bride and groom came from the house, and under the old apple tree at the side of the cabin the most famous colored preacher in the south made them man and wire. Eleanor shook the groom by the I hand and told him to guard well his precious helpmate. She kissed the black face of Roxanna, who had been her constant attendant since babyhood. Then, blinded by tears, she jumped into her little runabout and started for home. Cheers and hallelullahs rang upon the air. Bright bandannas were flung high, and hickory sticks wavered in circles. After twenty years of persist ent courtship Itoxanna and Abraham were married! Eleanor tamed to look back at the happy throng, and her horse shied. She was a good littl horsewoman and took a firm grip on the rein3, but too late! The horse had the bit in his teeth and was running at terrific speed The light wagon rocked from one side of the road to another, Eleanor swaying with it. Down the road, past pink orchards and green fields, swaying. swaying and then black nothing. She opened her eyes to gaze into those of the youth who had attended the wedding. "I'm Dick Ewing, your next door neighbor," ho explained as he made her a bit more comfortable by propping her up. "Abraham is our gardener, you know," he continued, "and I saw you at the wedding. You seem to have" for gotten me. How's your head, eh?' Eleanor had known Dick Ewlng when she was a child. The last time they had met he had called "tomboy at her as she climbed over the fence which divided the Ewlng place from the Wright plantation. Then he had been sent to. Germany at the behest of a wealthy uncle. lie seemed to divine her thoughts. "I got back the other day just In time for the wedding," and he laughed an Infections laagn. "But this line of conversation is not getting you. home. I don't know just how to do it. I don't suppose there's a sober darky this side of the Mason and Dixon line all at the wedding drinking Wright cider. Your wagon is smashed. Oh, I say, couldn't you sit my horse, and I'll walk alongside? We're most there, you know." Die inspired confidence. Eleanor gath ered up her torn skirt and with Dick's assistance mounted the horse. On the way home the time was spent in ex planatlons. He had much to tell of student life in Germany. Now a full Cedged doctor, he had come home to practice in the south. Her tale was more simple, an uneventful life at home, with Roxanna always guarding her. "I just don't know how ITi r get alonsr without her.

anna well, come over and see for your self." Dick was very busy the next day oting to the promotion of the second man as overseer during Abraham's honey moon. The underservants resented hia authority, and Dick was at his wits' end to mollify them, assuring them rna Abraham would be back in a few days and peace would once mora reign. Mrs. Ewing wept and said it served Dick right He ought not to have allowed the gardener to marry. The sec ond morning things were at a stand still all over the place. None of the darkies would work at all. and Dick jurUpe& on his horse and rode down to the rahin where the bride and eroom were "just restin' " as a bridal trip. 'When did you think of coming back. Abraham?" asked Dick as the tall fig ure of the negro appeared at the door. Mistah Dick, I just been arguln' with Itoxanna. She say I should go work for her folks, an' when a man's married" Abraham sighed. Dick Ewing was a true southerner and would not stoop to ask favors of a negro, lie wheeled around and half way down the lane met Eleanor, sltting her gray horse as if born to the snddi "Good morning!" she sang out mer rily. "I'm on my way to beg Roxanna to return to her old duties. My hair's in a snarl, my shoes are losing all their buttons and well, I must have my Roxafina." Dick smiled, not without malice. "Do come along and Join me. A man always lends dignity to an attack Of this sort," continued Eleanor. And Dick turned his horse's head in the same direction. Roxanna was called to the door. where Abraham had stood a few mo menta before, and her mistress lm plored her to return. She offered the same excuse that had greeted Dick. "Miss 'Nor, Abraham seems like he thinks I ought to work for his folks, an' when, you're married" Eleanor and Dick wheeled about and rode down the lane at full speed. Con versation seemed to lag until they reached the spacious porch of the Wright home. "Let's talk the matter over seriously, Eleanor," said Dick. "I may call you Eleanor, mayn't I? And let's us go back to the old time chumminess of childhood." Eleanor looked at the fence where they had parted In anger but she acquiesced. "The other day as I was going to that infernal darky wedding which upset two erstwhile happy homes I stop ped under the old apple tree by the turn of the road, and I reached up to gather somo blossoms," began Dick. Eleanor leaned forward as if listening to an interesting story. "They were out of my reach, and when I found that I could not get them I felt as If I had lost something which had never really been mine, yet something which I had always coveted subconsciously." Eleanor smiled, with a suggestion of a blush. "So it Is with something else, Eleanor," he continued. "You are that something else. All my life I have wanted my little neighbor. As a boy 1 teased yon, but I wanted you. As a man I missed jrou In Germany. I love you, and I must have you. Perhaps I am reaching up too far. Perhaps yon are way above me, as the blossoms were." He hesitated aa if waiting for an answer. Eleanor leaned back in her chair; Her Hps twitched. Her eyes danced. "Dick, tell me truly one thing, and I will answer your question." He rose and stood beside her in the golden sunlight. The soft breezes blew a few petals on them both, "Dick Ewlng, on your honor, do yon unwilling captive within his arms. Eleanor pushed him aside and with mock dignity said: "Come, dear yes, dear Dick let's go back to the old cabin and see If Roxanna Abraham will come and work Many Times Married. There ere some very remarkable Instances of people vrbo have been married a large number of times, and also of husbands and wives who have lived together to an extraordinary age. St Jerome mentions a woman who mar-

0133-3 Z Ccir.merclal Arenas ried her twenty-second husband, who, in his turn, had been married, to twenty wives. There is an instance recorded in Bordeaux in 1772 of a man who had been married sixteen times. A woman named Elizabeth Nase, who died in Florence in 17GS, had been married to seven husbands, her last wedding taking place when she was seventy years of age. Numerous cases exist all over the world of people who have been married four, five or six times. In 1768 a couple was living in Essex who had been married eighty-one years, the husband being 107 years old and his wife only four years younger. These cases are also not isolated ones, and it is somewhat remarkable that in most of such instances when one has died the survivor has died the next Cay. His Heaven.
