I major TEMPLE’sI DEFEAT I ; By DONALD ALLEN That was Major Temple’s strong point—the blue blood of the 'temples. They had been aristocrats for Six hundred years. Some of them had been carpenters and blacksmiths and cobblers, as the major discovered in tracing the Temple tree, but he could and did insist that they still had been gentlemen. - Major Temple was a gentleman. He had also been a soldier. So far, so good. The Temple tree ended right there po far as the coal man, the ice man, the grocer and the butcher were concerned. Cash down tells the story. The Major’s strong point was therefore his weak one. His wife told him so, and his daughter Aileen told him so, but he stood behind his loaded guns. Among the young men calling at the Major’s, attracted by the daughter, was Barton Reed. He was twenty-four years .old, and had been mentioned in the little daily paper of the suburban town as a rising young lawyer. For several months the Major made no objections? Then he thought he saw an interest on the part of the daughter, and his blue blood came to the surface. He didn’t take a club to Mr. Reed. He didn’t shout. Like a gentleman who could trace his ancestry back six hundred years, he galled at the office of the rising young lawyer and in quiet but firm tones said it 4 could never be. ; Mr. Reed’s ancestry ran bhck two hundred ' years and then Suddenly chopped off. He had always contended ' that it was good enough for him, but he was to learn that it was. not good enough for the father of the girl he was in< love with. No hard wojrds. No covert threats. Just a quiet talk between jtwo gentlemen, with thjp advantage nji the side of the Major. In all such cjases the first advantage is on the side of the father. He can command the daughter. He can crder her I- —J—fin & S ■T m MB /I pgggpo He Threatened—lndeed He Swore. to the garret or the cellar ofi bread and water. He can send her to her aunt’s in New Hampshire, fifteen miles from the nearest railroad or post office. The rising young lawyer appeared t& be squelched. No one seemed to know w'hether he had a last meeting with Miss Aileen or smuggled a letter to her by the hands of the grocer’s delivery boy. But the girl was sooh posted on what had happened and was going to happen. Then young Mr. Reed had rather a strange caller at his office one day. He knew the city and its denizens very well. As a college student, before receiving his diploma and setting down to the serious business of life, he had been gay and frivolous. [ If Major Temple knew this he had not brought it forward .in the argument. Perhaps his ancestors‘for 600 years had done the same thinj;. The caller at the lawyer’s office was a theatrical press agent. When an actress pawns her diamonds the agent is at hand to write up a column story about her being gagged, bound and robbed. It assists her to be a"greater actress. Lawyer and caller called each other by their first names. They talked and grinned and chuckled. They agreed it would do, and it was the lawyer who handed a sum of money to the other. Three days passed. I Then Major Temple returned from a I run down town, and he looked so queer that his wife and daughter hastened towards him with inquiries of alarm. He waved them away' Then he waved a newspaper. Tien he pointed with his finger at an item and hoarsely commanded them to bead. The gist of the article was that the management of the musical /comedy entitled "A Night on the Bowery,” had signed a new song and dance artist named Aileen Temple, and that great things were expected of her/ “Well?” asked mother and daughter together as they looked up from the paper. “Disgraced forever!” shouted the major as he brought his fist down on the arm of his chair. ■ “But how?” “Three different men have already i asked me if it is you. Aileen!”

“But everybody must know it isn’t,’ she answered. "The girl has taken my name, but I can’t help that, can “But it’s got to be helped, and I’ll help it! The name of my daughter dragged on the vaudeville stage! The name of Temple besmirched after 600 years! I’ll demand blood for this.” If the major hadn’t been so perturbed he might have wondered a bit that the daughter took the matter so ; calmly. She argued that no one could . make a mistake between the two, and - he volleyed and thundered and talked i about lawsuits and challenges. He • would go up to the city in the morni ing, and that actress girl should I change her name to Hannah Jones or i take the consequences. He did go. Through a theatrical manager he found Aileen Temple’s boarding house. ► He also found her. She was curling . a blonde wig, but she wast not so busy that she could not stop land talk to him. The major’s ancestors turned in their graves. Alieen Temple even called him “Charlie!” He threatened —indeed he swore—but he made no impression. As if it hadn’t been rubbed into the major enough, the evening papers of that day contained another item. Aileen Temple was the daughter of a prominent citizen, and had had to encounter great opposition to get on the stage. It w r as 50 minutes after getting home before the major could talk. TSen he talked for twice 40 minutes without giving wife or daughter a resting spell. He had been temporarily driven back —not defeated. He would go up- town on the fnorrow and consult a lawyer. Aileen Temple oi the chorus should become Hannah Jones or Sarah Brbwn if, he had to spend his last dollar. } He went, and he paid out SSO to learn that Aileen of the chorus could take any name she pleaded, and he was powerless to help himself. Even the sacred name of his dead grandmother could be linked > with the blonde wig. He called on her again. This time she was mending a pair oi | pink slippers. She saluted him with a “Hello, Charlie!” and resumed her frivolous conversation. Three hundred good dollars the major offered her to become Hannah or Sarah oi Betsy something or other, but she demanded $3,0Q0. He asked her to think of the Temples for 600 years past, ana she grinned. He besought her tq think of his daughter, anid she sug< gested that the daughter (change heij name to Jane. He threatened hei with all the powdr of the army and navy, and she whistled the (refrain of a topical song. . ; Major Temple had a close call from apoplexy getting home. The doctoi was sent for and the patient was kept in bed for three days find ordered not to speak—not to speak, and yet the papers were coming out every day with something new about Aileen Temple! When he did get up he made up for lost time. He shouted. He roared. He pranced aroujid. In his travail a bright thought came to him. One lawyer had turned him down, but why not consult another?! Why not consult a rising young /lawyer in hopes a suggestion could 1 be found? The idea was turned ovej and over, and then the warrior entered Mr. Barton Reed’s office and said: j “Mr. Reed, this is a purely professional call.” “I shall so consider it,T was the reply. “Look at these articles! I Every one in town thinks my daughter Aileen has joined the chorus!” “Y-e-s, I see.” “And can nothing be ddne? I ask you professionally.” ! * “And I answer y<Ju professionally that something can be done.” • An, that’s good. What is it?” “Your daughter can change her name to Mrs. Barton Reejd, sir, and then she will no longer be confused with Aileen Temple!” , All retired army officers are cranky and irascible, but they know when they have a good thing. After Major Temple got over shouting and stamping around the room, which was at the end of 30 minutes, he t invited Mr. Reed to call socially. Sdme months later Aileen Temple of the; chorus had the name all to herself. Philadelphia Playgrounds. The establishment of the, playground committee as an integral part of the municipal administration, with authority conferred upon it by ordinance to enlarge the extant facilities for public recreation in Philadelphia, has been earnestly sought by those most deeply concerned in the communal, welfare, and is realized as last thrdugh the enthusiastic co-operation ofi the mayor and the members of the original playground commission appointed by him last year. In planning to make generous provision for recrelative facilities Philadelphia will foljow the example set by several other cities, and in turn will establish precedents for the emulation of various communities. In no other city of the United States has more heed been paid of recent years to legitimate popular diversion, and the establishment ofj. the playgrounds committee means merely the enlargement of the numbest and scope of the present facilities; for out-of-door recreation, for the pi-esent benefit of the children and for the enduring good of future generations. The healthy, happy children of today will be the robust and cheerful men and women of the days to come. Frankness. Scottish Bachelor—Will ye hae some tea?” Visitor—Oh, please don’t trouble. Bachelor —It’s no the trouble, it's | just the expense.—Punch.

BEL gSk and BELLS COURTSHIP OF A DEAF MAN Wonders Why Mabel Lowered Gas— Whether to Encourage or Stop His Fingered Proposal. The Deaf Times prints a story of two men who were seen talking on their hands on the top of an omnibus. Their conversation ran thus: “I want your advice.” "I shall be happy to oblige you.” “Well, you know, I’m in love with Mabel. At last I made up my mind to propose to her. Last night I made the attempt.” “And she refused you?” “That is what I am coming to. I don’t know whether she did or not. You see, I was somewhat embarrassed, and the words seemed to stick on my hands. And there she sat, as demure as a dove. Finally my fingers stuck together, and I could not say a word. Then Mabel got up and lowered the gas.” “Well?” “Well, what is bothering me is this: why did Mabel lower the gas—to encourage me and relieve my embarrassment, or so that she could not see the talk and so stop my proposal?" Unanswerable. Ethel had bevip/visiting at a neighbor’s. “I hope you didn’t take a second piece of cake, Ethel?” said her mother. “Yes, I did, mother,” replied the child. “You told me never to contradict and the lady said ‘I know you’ll have another piece of cake;’ so what could I say ?”-r-Yonkers Statesman. His Eye for Business. Ashley—l see that Lawyer Black will accept no client who is not a merchant tailor. Seymour—lsq’t that a rather strange procedure? Ashley—Not in reality.

The Usual Way. “Gladys has jilted young Jorkins, yet when they were first engaged she used to say he was the star of her existence.” “Does he carry a pistol?” “I don’t know. Why?” “Because if he does Gladys had better look out that he doesn’t prove to be a shooting star.” WILL HE DO IT? Private Muldoon —-I was absent this mornin’ at roll-call. Sergeant Doolan—Well, me man, nixt toime youre absint at roll-call be sure and say you’re absint whin you hear your name called. Handicapped. “Yes,” said the man from St. Louis, “I am very fond of green peas, but I can’t eat them.’!’ “Why not?” queried the Chicago man who was dining at the same table. “Because,” explained the other, “I can’t keep ’em on my knife.” “Come Across.” “Do these Englishmen understand American slang?” “Some of them do. Why?” “My daughter is to be married in London and the duke has just cabled me to come across.” “Well?" i “Does he want me or my wad?” Looking for Bargains. Patience —A municipal drug store has been established in St. Petersburg, where things are supplied at about 20 per cent, less than in the other pharmacies. Patrice—l wish they’d have such stores in this country. I’d buy all my stamps there.—Yonkers Statesman.

MUST HAVE BEST MACHINE Woman Greatly Wrought by Glowing Accounts Given by Different Persistent Agents. “Look here, sir,” she said, as she entered a sewing-machine office the other day, “your agent has imposed upon me." “Is it possible, ma’am? In what respect?” “Yes, sir, he has; and I don’t want your machine!” “How has he deceived you?” “Why, he came into my house and told me that your machine was the best in the world. I have witnesses, and can prove every word of it.” “But that was not deceiving you, ma’am.” “Yes, it was! I hadn’t the machine two days before another agent called and said his was the best; and he had a circular to back it up. He had hardly got out of doors when another called and said his machine had taken ten medals.” “But we have taken fifteen, ma’am.” “Oh, have you?” “And we have issued a challenge for a public trial, which no other machine dare accept.” “Is that so? Then your machine is the best, after all?” “Certainly.” “Then you will please excuse me. I thought I had been imposed upon, and I’m afraid I was a little hasty. The other agents must have been the deceivers.” ENOUGH TO MAKE HIM SO. lip'— l 8 | , 1 Lv-,'.1' 1 /Qi!

NO CHANCE TO GO WRONG Statement of Beauty Doctor May Have Been True, but It was Not Gallant. William F. Oldham, bishop of Singapore, talked at a dinne., on his last visit to New York, about missionary work. "A certain type of man,” he said, “goes about declaring that we dominant races civilize the savage out of existence —that we do them harm instead of good. “Well, as a matter of fact, if these cavaliers knew what' I know about some tribes, they would speak less confidently. Some tribes are so debased that to do them anything but good would hardly be possible. They are, in fact, just like the ugly woman who visited the beauty doctor. “This woman was ugly in every feature, but her nose was particularly ugly. That, no doubt, was why she desired the beauty doctor to begin ; on it. “*1 am willing,’ she said, 'to pay ' you liberally, doctor, but I demand in return substantial results. We will j start with my nose. Can you guarantee to make it ideally beautiful?’ “The doctor, after looking attentively at the woman’s nose, replied: “ ‘Well, madam, I can’t say as to ( ideal beauty, but a nose like yours I couldn’t help improving if I hit with a mallet.’ ” IN AGONY WITH ECZEMA “No tongue can tell how I suffered i lor five years w ith itching and bleeding eczema, until I was cured by the Cuticura Remedies, and I am so grate- ! ful I want the world to know, for what helped me will help others. My body and face were covered with ; Bores. One day it would seem to be ! better, and then break out again with ‘ the most terrible pain and itching. I have been sick several times, but | never in my life did I experience such ! awful suffering as with this eczema. I j had made up my mind that death was i near at hand, and I longed for that time when I would be at rest I had tried many different doctors and medicines without success, and my mother j brought me the Cuticura Remedies, insisting that I try them. I began to feel better after the first bath with Cuticura Soap, and one application of Cuticura Ointment “I continued with the Cuticura Soap and Cuticura Ointment, and have ! taken four bottles of Cuticura Resolvent and consider myself well. This was nine years ago and I have had no return of the trouble since. Any person having any doubt about this i wonderful cure by the Cuticura Reme- . dies can write to my address. Mrs. !

He says that when the Salt Lake cut-off was completed Mr. Harriman took a large party of big railroad men out to it. They had their pictures taken at ihe right spot scenically. Mr. Harriman stood at one end of the group. I When the pictures were printed and j the photographer brought them around i the railroad men examined them. “Why,” shouted oi. j of the guests, i “where’s Mr. Harriman?” “Do you mean that little chap that j stood at the end?” asked the photogi rapher. “Why, I cut him off."
