Just at present St. Christopher Hos

Oppottunlty to study child life Is ever
present to the visitor at St. Christopher's.
Teddj Hoosevclt will not Greet lilm at the
door, but Teddy Hoosevclt Wick will wel
come lilm on the roof garden. This little
boy, like Miss .Teftords. head nurse, wishes
to Interest every one In tho work of the
hospital, and consequently he will talk
for a half hour without a complaint and
smile duilnB wnklnjr nnd sleeping hours.
It Is tho build of a prizefighter in cm
brjo that Teddy carries when he Is
stroUhcd In bed. Ho hns hip disease.
From I1I3 wnlst up he Is perfect. Miss
Jeffords docs not think that Teddy will
cvei bo far-famed as an athlete, but
eventually he may walk without a false
step and make a name for himself.
In the cot next to Teddy on the roof
garden Is Isabella Lawson, 0 years old,
u sufferer lrom infantile paralysis. Sho
Is wulklng today, but It Is with tho
hesitating steps of a old woman or child
just learning to walk. The fact Is, she is
Just learning over how to walk. She Is
confident, and when sho falls she smiles
in an apologetic manner. She Is the mes
senger and errand girl for Teddy Hoose
vclt Wick. She Is about as speedy ns
thu average messenger boy, but she Is
much more certain of results.
1 Ida Kudolph, 5 years old, Is also on the
loof. She has been there two months,
l but shows little Improvement. The doc
l tors see her every day. There la some
thing wrong with Ida because she won't
grow i-trong. Tho doctors have a lot of
names for her complaint.
Then there is Beatrice. V& years old.
Beatrice Is n favorite, but the nurses
lime forgotten her lost name. She will
be operated upon lomoirow or the day
after by Dr. 13. G. Alexander. There is a
tubercular condition of her spine nnd one
of her legs. Miss Beatrice has not
guessed that an operation Is Imminent,
so she has not become hysterical as
some of her older bisters might. When
she isn't bleeping she is sucking her left
thumb. It Is always tho left one.
Franslco Disco has spent six of his
ten years In the hospital. As an old resi
dent he says that he prefers the roof
garden to a ward. There Is more air,
and then he can hear all the stteet noises.
He can tell just what Is happening by
the cries of the newsboys and he also
is a judge of the prices of tumutui ,
in .u lies and such staples by tile shouts
of the vendors. Fraiiblco, who is un i of
hi olije"t patients, will never push a

An effottto obtain a city franchise for
a omnibus lino on tho principal streets
will bo inado today at tho meeting of
Common Council. Kor days a story has
been current that part of the program
ot opposition to the subway proposition
was to bo a petition for nn omnibus line,
on tho plea that It would relievo tha
need for Improved Unfile facilities. This
the story ran, would bo slezod upon as ati
excuse to delay nctlon on the subway.
Walter C. Mclntlro, an electrical con
tractor at 12 North Fifth street, Is the
man In chargo of tho omnibus project.
Ho Is related to George C. 'Plcrle, of tho
Board of Registration Commissioners. The
belief that the scheme may be urged as
a substitute for other transit plans h
suppottcd by a statement Issued by Mc
lntlro for the United Traction Improve
ment Company, which will operate tho
Mclntlie savs: "Tho nMiiir... t ...
franchise puts tho question of Immediate
rellet of passenger traffic conditions In
the residential sections squarely up to
the city government."
In tho days when tho omnibus lino wai
nothing but a rumur those who heard It
said the plan might be used to dlvctt
attention from tho transit proposition be
fore Council.
"Of course, a bus line never would taka
tho place of a subway," said ono man
prominently concerned In the subway
Plans, "but, nt the same time, those on.
posed to the subway might uso It as
a pretext for delaying action."
