OH, MY, ISN'T HE

Nathaniel Davis Ayer, Jr.,
' Enlists, Even Though It
Breaks Mamma's Heart,
but Decides to Wait for
Next Regiment.
Nathaniel Davis Ayor, Jr., enlisted ana
tarted to war against his mother's
wishes. Tho parting was sad, but through
the tears came the words of a bravo
flg-htlnjr man: "Mamma, I know It breaks
.xnur heart to see mo bo, and It breaks
mine, too, but what would tho world
tii nk of me If I were to lot the glory
of England be trampled In tho dust while
I stayed home with Nnna?"
"Nana" Is tho nurse and she cried too,
but a, "sojer" man must be hard as nails
and not lot a woman's sobs affect him.
Nathaniel Davis Ayer, Jr., choso Eng
land as a country nt to light for simply
becauso ho didn't happen to bo In another
land. "With his mamma, who Is the
daughtor of Mr. and Mrs. William It.
McKaddcn, of Qlensldc, and papa, who Is
Nat D. Ayer, a composer, and "Nana"
ho went to London, where "papa" was to

tlo Highlander wouldn't have gone to
such lengths in describing himself had
not the recruiting officer said It was abso
lutely necessary to give the ful name In
case the applicant chanced to be wounded
In battle.
As ho was about to Join his regiment
for tho front, the "sojer's" papa look
him aside and said!
"Son, X fear It Is my duty to tell you
that you aro saying goodbye to your
parents for tho last time. When you
are wounded and left to dlo Miero on tho
cold battlefield, and when night comes
and thero nto no lights, no dinner, and
no mamma or 'Nana' to say 'night' to
you, only tho black darkness nnd tho
cruel winds "
But thut was nil. Father's advice waa
Interrupted by:
"Daddy, they don't need mo yet, and
I think I'll stay here until the next regi
ment goes."
Nathaniel Davis Ayer, Jr., Is almost as
much as seven yenrs old,
STUNG!
A fly buzzed all about
To find a passage out;
Then on the window stll
A minute stood quite still.
I thought he was asleep
And caught him just to keep;
He looked so fine a fellow
With rings of black and yellow.
He scolded dreadfully
And stuck a pin in me.
I dropped him pretty quick;
My hand was awful sick.
BEFORE THE SANDMAN COMES
ONCE upon a time, the leaves of
the silver poplar were green
both top and bottom just like
the leaves of all other trees and the
poplar tree was a nice proper tree just
like ail other trees.
Then something happened. Some
thing usually does you know when
things arc entirely too nice and
proper.
One day, when the poplar leaves
were playing with the breezes, one
little breeze said, "Oh, you should see
the trees in other countries as we do.
Sometimes the leaves arc gray, some
times pale green and some arc
brighter colors."
"Wouldn't that be queer?" said one
of the leaves.
"I think I'd like it," said another.
"I'm tired of being plain green like all
other leaves."
And though the breeze laughed at
them, they wouldn't play because they
kept thinking all the time about their
color.
And the more they thought, the
worse it seemed to be green, just plain
green, aH their lives.
"Isn't it horrid to be just a plain
preen leaf?" said one, "I'm so tired of
being green," said another, .ill finally
they forgot that the sky was blue
and the sun golden all they could
remember was their common green
color.
At last the fairies who lived in the
tree got tired of their complaining,
and the fairy queen said: "If you
mWtfN "-5
1 WS-z
I I
And though the breeze taugheit at them,
then wouldn't play.
really wish to change your color you
may do so, but remember you can
never change back to the beautiful
green color you now arc."
The leaves all laughed and declared
they never, never, never wanted to be
green again, so the fairy painters set
to work with their magic paint and
soon the leaves were grayish green
on top and silver underneath.
When all was done and the paints
carefully put away the leaves shook
themselves dry and began to look
around.
"Aren't wc beautiful 1" they exclaim
ed as they primped and preened in the
sunshine.
"Now that you like your color,"
said the breezes, "come and play with
us again."
"Oh, no," said the leaves loftily,
"wc don't care to play with you any
more. We like to have you come and
see us, for you tiirn and twist us so
we can see all our pretty colors, but
we couldn't just common play any
more, wc are too fine for that!
So the breezes came and stayed a
i little while and swayed and twisted
the leaves so that the silver linings
glistened in the sunshine then they
went and played and frolicked in the
oaks and maples with the leaves who
were not so dressed up.
And ever since then, the poplar
leaves have been green and silver, but
the leaves are so stiff and vain that the
fairies and breezes play in the old
green trees.

OCEAN LINER AFIRE
AT BROOKLYN PIER;
OIL FEEDS FLAMES
Half a Dozen of Crew Over
come Rescuing Shipmates
From Hold of the Santa
Anna.
Vessel Loaded With Valuable
Cargo From Mediterranean.
Cardinal Farley Was One of Its
Passengers.
NEW YORK, Sept. S0.-Flre caused by
spontaneous combustion In the hold of
the steamship Santa Anna, of the Kabro
line, was discovered early today, while
she (vas moored to a pier at the foot of
Slst street, Brooklyn, Several tire engines
were rushed to tho steamship's aid, but
the dense smoke made It Impossible for
the firemen to get at tho blaze between
decks, and they were forced to work In
relays to avoid being overcome.
By 11 o'clock tho damage had amount,
d to ftOO,000, with the prospect of treble
that amount If the firefighters were
unable to save some of tho valuable
cargo of silk, velvets and herbs In the
ship's hold. Two fireboats were assigned
to fight the fire, anil It proved so stub
born that Captain Palzoy said he be
lieved It waa fed with tho big consign,
ment of ollvo oil carried by the Santa
Anna.
Half a dozen members of the crow
were overcome by smoke In fighting the
lire, and were rescued by shipmates who
risked their lives entering the amoke
filled hold.
The hold In which tho dames were first
discovered Is next to two coal bunkers,
which quickly became a roarins furnace.
Vast quantities of water vre pumped on
the blailns fuel. A huge volume of smoke
settled over the neighborhood, and the
police reserves were culled out tu main
tain the fire lines.
The Santa Anna arrived here yesterday
from Mediterranean ports with a list of
passengers, among them being Cardinal
Farley, and a large cargo of mixed mer
chandise. A short time after the blaze
was discovered the ship's hold became a
veritable furnace, and the hatches were
unshipped to permit removal of part of
the cargo. The vessel is EM feet long,
of 14,000 tons register and files the Trench
flag.
Two days out from Naples a mutiny
broke out aboard the vessels among tht
stokers. Five of them were placed In
irons.
WEATHER IS BALMY AGAIN.
YET FOLKS ARE KICKING
Seems Too Warm to Keep the Woolpns
on They Donned Yesterday.
The battle of tho teutons turns and summer
time In rallying;
Old Sol has trained his howitzer upon the
autumn breeze;
'Tween garments of a Kauzy kind and woolens
men are dallying;
Hay fever germs make sorties 'ncath their
heavy sun, the sneeze.
Tho sportive Beasons played another
trick on Philadelphia today. Having
lured the city Into donning Its heavy
weights by cold, raw blasts from the
North, autumn today fell back upon
Its high ground lntrcnchments to re
form. Summer, its ranks riddled, it is
true, nevertheless Is making tho most
of, tho respite today and Is doing its best
to deceive everybody.
Yet folk aro not happy. Not that the
ideal weather is objectionable, save to
the cold air pest who likes to walk
around In the snow In unshod feet, but
the day Is too warm for1 woolens and
only those who enre nothing for the
threat of pneumonia ventured out with
out them yesterday.
The Ice man looks happier again today.
Furnace fires that had gone out anyhow
during tho night because of soot were left
to their fate this morning and windows
cf trolley cars Jammed shut to keep out
the airs were opened again to an accom
paniment of withering sarcasm for tho
conductor, the motorman, tho P. It. T.
and Its heirs and nsslgns. Tomorrow
autumn may attack again.
GIRL RELATES HOW SHE WAS
FORCED INTO LIFE OF SHAME
Asks to Increase Its Hates
A hearing by the Public Utility Com
mission of New Jersey at the Court House
n Camden was held today on petition of
ihe Colllnfswood Sewerage Company,
which seek to increase Its rates in order
to pay for tho large sums recently ex
pended in developments. A number of
property owners aro objecting to any al
lowance of Increased rates by the com-Bbwloa.
FAT MAN KEPT PRISONER
IN A TELEPHONE BOOTH
Once Inside, He Couldn't Turn Until
Help Finally Came.
Hiram Mattlson, of Wilmington, a man
of great girth, hurried Into a telephone
booth In the first lloor southeast corner
of a City Hall corridor today and
slammed the door shut. The door Is of
the type that folds Inwnrd.
Nearly half an hour later one of tho
elevator operators heard a dull thump
ing, and investigating found that it caina
from tho telephone booth. Mnttlson was
still facing the telephone. He was so
fat that the elevator man could not see
whether ho was through talking. Con
cluding that the man was simply drum
ming with his fingers, the operator went
away.
Some time later a passerby heard the
same thumping. He got close enough to
the booth to realize that Mattlson was
trying to get out, hut. being too fat
to turn around and reach the handle of
the door, found It impossible. Mattlson
leaned heavily against the door, trying
to open It. Several other strangers col
lected, until a score of men were grouped
about the booth.
An elevator starter who knows some
thing about doors finally took charge of
the situation. Directions were shout&t
to Mnttlson, nnd after considerable twist
ing and hard woik the door was opened.
Mattlson. blowing like a porpolbe, growled
his thanks huskily and hurried off.
EMDEN EXPECTS CAPTURE
But Kaiser's Nephew Says Balder
Will "Make a Hun,"
I.ONDON. Sept. 30.
An Cvchango Telegraph dispatch from
Colombo today stated that a nephew of
Kalber Wtlhelm on board the German
cruiser Kmden told the captain of a
captured ship that he expected tho Em
den would be captured.
'But we'll make a run for it." he added
confidently,
Woman Accused of Luring Her From
Father's Restaurant.
Repentant tears rolled down the cheeks
of 16-yoar-old Kathcrine Emma White,
C35 North Tenth street, as she told in
Central Station today how Mrs. Leonora
Taylor, 1543 North Bouvler street, lured
her away from her father's restaurant,
penned her In a house on Falrmount ave
nue, deprived her of clothing and finally
induced her to lead a life of shamo.
Mrs. Taylor was held by Magistrate Pen
nock In $200 ball, charged with violating
the Mann white slave act.
Katherlno Whlto was brought to Phila
delphia Inst night after a year's search
instituted by her father in nearly every
largo city In tho East. She was found
on a farm in Watertown. N. T., by Mrs.
Mabel Kellogg, superintendent of the New
York Society to Protect Children from
Cruelty. Mrs. Kellogg learned the girl
was a runaway and, gaining her confi
dence, was told tho story.
The girl testified today to meeting the
woman In her father's restaurant. She
was Induced to accompany MrB. Taylor,
and later found herself locked In a room
at 917 Falrmount avenue, and was de
prived of all but scanty wearing apparel.
Later she was made an Inmate at a
house on Melon street and again at 1S33
Park avenue.
Tho girl declared sho was never per
mitted to leave any of the houses In
which she lived until she went to the
Park avenue place. Here she said she
frequently went out, but was always
afraid to return home. Later she went
to New York nnd finally to the farm
where Mrs, Kellogg found her.
The girl's father, who operates a res
taurant at 53 North Tenth street, stated
his daughter left homo last March nnd
since then he has neither seen nor heard
from her although he caused a search to
be made In all large Lantern cities. He
was broken hearted over her absence and
declared he had almost given her up for
lost.
The police are searching for three men
who aro said to be implicated In the girl's
disappearance and her subsequent career.
On the stand today the girl frequontly
burled her face In her hands and sobbed.
She said, she wanted to go homo and be
gin life anew. Frequently she glared at
Mrs, Taylor.

jects Is In press. He went to Hreshui
early In the summer and is reported to
have Joined n reserve regiment there.
As many letters have been sent him nnd
It was certain that he would havo replied
if ponhlblc, there Is a fear that he has
fallen, as tho Brcslau corps lias been In
many battles both east and west and has
suffered heavily.
Museum authorities say that If Dr.
Poebel has fallen it will be a great loss

President Thomas in Address
to Students Predicts Uni
versal Peace Map of Eu
rope to Be Remade.
"This present war will be called not
only the greatest war In all history, but
It will, I confidentially believe, be called
tho last great war."
This xvns the predlcltloli made by Miss
M. Carrlo Thomas, president of Uryn
Mnwr College, In hor address to tho
studentn at tho opening of the 30th
academic year of the Institution, this
morning. Miss Thomas prophesied that
In case Great Britain, Franc and Rus
sia arc victorious tturopo will see a re
alignment of hntlonnl boundaries In
agreement with tho wishes of the
peoples now living under the rulo of
Germany, Austria-Hungary and Russia.
"I bollevt!," said Mls Thomas, "that
wo shall se tho map of Europe to
rnado before our eyes nnd many filched
territories and people either neutralized
or given back to the nations to whom
they belong by rnco or choice, so that
thero will be In the future no bones
for the hounds of war to snarl over.
Wo shall have n united Poland once more.
It scarcely seems too much to hope that
wo shall have compulsory disarmament
and a strong International police com
posed of land troops and a navy nnd an
air fleet, with an International arbitra
tion court In perpetual session at The
Huguo with plenary powers. If Ger
many nnd Austria win nil this may not
come bo swiftly, but It Is sure to come,
even If It comes at last through the
Intervention of all the rest of the civilized
world."
DL'PLORES WAR'S LOSES
Miss Thomas condemned the destruc
tion of Louvaln nnd the Rh.-lms Cathe
dral and said that as the result of this
war the world will lo.e the most
treasured works of ait. At the same
time, however. Miss Thomas waa very
optimistic as to what this generation
will ree as a result of the conflict.
Addiesslng the students on the point,
Miss Thomas said:
"Your generation will sec some very
wonderful world movements. First, uni
versal disarmament and universal peace
among nations. Your geneiutlon will also
sco the abolition of tho drink horror.
Already one half of the territory of the
United States is dry,
"Other countries, too, aro awaki to the
temperance riuestion. Groat Britain nnd
Russia are fightlrg this war without
stimulants. Your trenoratlon will also see
thr participation of women In every field
of human nctlvlty. Women will interest
thomselves In colleges and schools, asy
lums and hospitals, reformatories, pris
ons, tenements, mines nnd factories und
will. I believe, do much tu reform the
existing terrible abuse.". Only the mothers
op the world can set the problems con
nected with these things right again.
"Uecausc of these opportunities I en
trcat vou to use your student life at
Uryn Mawr College wisely. In studying
here you nre doing what thousands of
other girls are longing to do. The privi
leges you have they cannot have. If you
make th" best of your four years here
you will be able to guide other women to
uce wisely these new avenues of influ
ence You will be ablo to stand side bv
side with your college-bred brothers and
husbands.. There Is no greater hnpplness
than the Joy of being able to use to
the full all your Intellectual and moral
powers in being able to lead your gen
eration." One hundred and two students have
registered In t'n. entering class up until
the present time. It was nnnouncpd. The
registration of graduate students Is yfit
incomplete, hut 11 renldent fellows and 22
resident son ilars hnve been admitted. In
addition, In pite of the war, three Ger
man women and one French woman are
expected to make use of the scholarships
for foreigners awarded In the spring.
Before beginning her address, Miss
Thnmns was presented with a cheque for
$2670. the profits' of the great fete given
May 9 of this x-ear. The total proceeds
amounted to tfOTO, $10u0 of which was
given to the Wellndey fire relief fund.
