HAD A LIVELY FIGHT

One Colored Girl Four Others. Whips "Come on, der'a a fight," was the cry which brought most of the population of the eastern section of Riverdale, to Fourteenth and North G streets about 1:30 o'clock this afternoon. It didn't take long for the entire neighborhood to catch the spirit and within a few minutes about two hundred negroes had formed a ring around Mrs. Belle Gentry, who was putting up a good bout against four sisters, Emma, Sallie and Eliza Bur den and Mrs. Maggie Ralston, nee Maggie Burden. No one attempted to interfere, and the one-sided fight proceeded with the result that Belle Gentry, aged fifteen years, routed the enemy, horse, foot and artillery. Emma Burden and her sinter Maggie Ralston were sent to police headquarters by Patrolmen LawJer and Voglesong, and when the patrol wagon arrived Mrs. Gentry was placed in it and she rode to the city building, where she filed charges of assault and battery against the two sisters. The smaller Burden girls were not sent to the city building and no charges will be filed against them on account of their age. The trouble started when the Burden Bisters knocked Belle Gentry to the street, at Fourteenth and G streets, as she was walking to her sister's borne on North Fourteenth. Belle had fistic abilities, inheriting them from tier aged mother, who offered to fight a man because he provoked her. The Gentry girl "marked" all of her opponents, it is said, while she showed no effects of the fight. ! Remember Prof. Russell's jplass tonight, 7:30. Useful Suggestions. (When baby goes out in the gocart great care should be taken in lifting ,the cart gently over the curbs and ( other rough places. It Is extremely hard on the child to be Jolted, as so aoany children are by thoughtless eldare, and it often results in serious ingnry to the health. It has long been the custom to give tthe baby an ivory ring or other bard substance to bite on when teething. .Women of experience advise against this, as they claim it only hardens Che gums and makes it more difficult for the teeth to force their way through. If your child's permanent teeth come through Irregularly or overlapping they should be straightened at once, suggests an authority. It is better to remove a tooth if overcrowded, as this vendition produces decay. Nagging the Bey. Much of the dread fulness of boys from six to sixteen is due to the fact that In so very few homes a boy can be natural without disturbing everything and every one. But who ever thinks of providing a place for the boys In which to keep their treasures undisturbed, where they can make all the noise they like? If a man needs a den to relax in, how much more does a growing boy? Does it not sometimes seem dreadful to think of a live boy fa an elaborately furnished room and 'all the other members of the family j sagging him to keep still? Care of Children's Feet. I One cannot be too careful in the care of the children's feet, particularly In I the question of shoes. The little foot lis so soft and pliable that It Is easily Molded. . Saving His Mate. !' On one occasion at a crowded peritformauce at the Royal theater in Sydney. N. S. W.. a number of years ago ! couple of sailors who hsd been drinking were seated In the gallery. One lost his balauce nud fell into the tails. The other Immediately cried, 'Man overboard!" ami dived after his companion. With the proverbial luck of drunken sailors the first escaped with a broken leg and the second without a scratch. I A Robbery That Paid.

Rochefoucauld. A Raiaetad Bid. Eugene Walter, the noted playwright. nod a visitor one afternoon at his apartment In New York. The visitor, a thickset young man in a shepherd's plaid suit and a red tie. said: "Mr. Walter. I like your work, and I want you to write me a one act skit. I'm the Only Mannering of the Quag circuit, and I want a breezy, funny skit, but it must have a deep underlying feeling, the same as 'Paid In Full." you know." "What would you be willing to pay for a satisfactory skit of this type?" Mr. Walter asked. "Well." said the Only Mannering. If the skit stilted me I wouldn't mind , paying $10 for it." "Ten dollars:" said Mr. Walter. "Oh, sr. no! 1 can alwavs borrow that." I Terr e Haute, Indianapolis & Eastern Traction Co.

She Didn't Weaken. The desperate boarder vowed that the next time his landlady set before him a breakfast that a flea would get thin on be would make her so ashamed of herself that she would be driven to give him enough to eat out of self respect. His chance came the morning after he had registered bis oath. lie hastily swallowed the scant rations set before him. then telephoned to a restaurant for a breakfast of bam and etrgs. wheat cakes and coffee. When the meal arrived he dispatched it hungrily. The landlady watched him with evident uneasiness, but made no comment. The next morning the desperate boarder approached the dining room expectantly. He wondered what the landlady would do. He soon found out. The same old light breakfast was brought In from the kitchen. "Have you had enough?" the landlady asked wheD he had finished. "Indeed I haven't," said the desperate boarder. She stepped to the telephone and called up the restaurant. "Mr. Brown is ready for his extra breakfast of ham and eggs and coffee," she said. New York Times. Deeds That Bless the Doer. Mere life is vile. I may have dona Deeds not unworthy and have won I'nwilllng fame, though all men blame This heart's unrest which makes me shun The calm content that good men take From good deeds done for the good deeds' sake. Deeds that in doing of the deed Ijo bless the doer, who should need No bliss beyond. But what to me . Is this that over land and sea My name should fly? Or what care I, Kor the mere sake of climbing high. To climb forever steps that wind Up empty towers? Owen Meredith. A Candid Caddy. The contempt that the caddy feels for the playing of some of the amateurs Is sometimes beyond his power to suppress. At the Philadelphia Country club they are telling a story of a swell young beginner who appeared to think the only qualification necessary for golf was a lot of staggering clothes. He started over the links with a young lady who had similar delusions. They played awhile with one of the best caddie golfers as an attendant. "Do you think." asked the young man. turning to the caddie with a kindly air "do you think we'll be able to get around the course before dusk?" "If you run. sir." said the caddie grimly.

Du Chaillu's Vain Hunt. Paul Du Chaillu was the most gal lant of bachelors and always openly confessed that be was quite unable to resist the wiles of the fair sex. so much so that he bad never been able to choose between them. On one occasion when he was "the lion" at a reception given by some intimate friends in New York the hostess in presenting him to cne of her guests said: "Let me present you to Mrs. . You must know her. Paul, because she has Just written a book." "A book, madam T he exclaimed. "Then indeed am I most delighted to meet her. I once made a book myself. But what is the title of your book?" "The name of it Is 'What One Woman Thinks.'" was the smiling response. "Ah. indeed, and most interesting! 'What One Woman Thinks:' " repeated the great explorer. And then, with a simulated excitement, he added hastily: "But where can I procure a copy of it? I must have It at once immediately. All my life I have been trying in vain to find out what women think, and if before 1 die I shall succeed in finding out just what one woman thinks I shall then indeed die content."

Time to Quit. A little girl was on a visit to her aunt and had enjoyed herself very much until Monday morning. On this occasion she accompanied her relative on a rent collecting excursion through a poor district where her aunt owned some property. As is often the case, they were in many instances met with exeuses for nonpayment, and the little lady's countenance, as for the ninth time she heard the remark. "I'm very sorry, but I can't give you anything today!" took on an expression of great disgust. At last she could restrain herself no longer. "Auntie." said she. "I think I had better go home this afternoon. I am quite sure my mamma would not like to know that you had taken me round such dirty streets begging!" lul. Select From. Sizes Sizes 34 to 46.
