PINE NOTCH, N. J., Feb. 27. Newton
Roll had lilted the mysterious order for
lio dozen boneless eggs, notwithstand
ing the protestation 01 nis nrotners, tho
SEW and, nbovo all things, prldo them
tTrfes on their old-fashioned business
fStegrlty. It had taken them years to

lEiy followed was "ixever nil an order

Rob Bull, "how wo turned down an or

K"Well, what Is It?" cried tho Bull
twins In eager chorus.
j.'That'll bo for tho majority members of
the board to vote on, came tne cagey
answer. I got tnree pariwerier aeiy
nltlons o' boneless eggs for tho board to

fV3ut supposln' they don't vote on tho

you Into a mean hole so far as business

MYSTERY IN "SUPERB."
Kent Bull shrugged his shoulders, dug
Into the pockot of his overalls and pro
duced a telegram, which he handed to the
twins.. Bob read It first while Bob echoed
each word, as follows:
i Newton Bull, Esquire. Boneless eggs
received. A superb shipment.
(Signed) WATSON JIALONE,

ttTVliat's he menn liv sunprh?" finked
Bob Bull, susnlelntmlv.
k'Better ask father," snorted Newt Bull,
turning away and going down the hill to
Ills duck run.
Old Zedeklah Bull -was pacing up nnd
ouwn tno nig Kitchen of the old Bull
homestead when the twins nrrlveil with
the telecram. Ifft linH yn.ctni1 them nn
Ihour earlier nnd the peppery old gentle

got to the house he found tho venerable
Mr. Bull recumbent In his grandfather's
wing chair, rather n bit all In nftcr hav
ing torn out his telephone by tho roots.
In his rngo ho had forgotten the simple
elementary principles of electricity,
wherefore ho had ocqulred a severe shock
that had hurled him through the sitting
room door In such a manner, according
to the cook, that he had turned two com
plete somersaults before landing neatly
Into tho chair In which he sat, foaming a
little at the lips and mumbling incoher

CALL OF THE RAIL SENDS
riNTSON TO HOSPITAL
Former Brakeman Amuses Himself
Flagging Trolley Cars.
"When Ben PlnUon Isn't In a hospital
or a police station ho spends his spare
time flagging trolley cars with a red
lantern. Ben, for many years, was
brakeman. He likes to remember the old
days, and his memory was so vivid to
day that he got a read lantern and
wandered out to the car tracks at 20th
street and Susquehanna avenue. Several
motormen Baw the light swinging, and
stopped their ears. When they made In
quiry, Ben replied by singing, "I've Been
Working on the nallroad."
He was singing this refrain when
Policeman O'Neill arrested him. Then
It was found that the prisoner compared
in description with a man who escaped
from three hospitals last night, and Ben
admitted that he was the patient. Ills'
record for the evening follows:
9:30 admitted to the Samaritan Hospi
talsprained ankle.
11:30 admitted to the German Hospi
talsprained ankle.
3:30 a. m. admitted to the Women's
Homeppathlc HospltaMspralned ankle.
He went to the last mentioned Institu
tion before he began flagging the trol
leys. When Policeman O'Neill took Ben
to the 26th and York Btreeta station It
was found that the Injury to his ankle
was purely psychological. He was ex
amined by a physician and sent to the
Philadelphia Hospital ta be straightened
out

TR0USER SKIRT IS
LATEST IN FASHION
Creators of New Form of Dress
Contend It Will Facilitate
Walking.
It looks as though the girls simply will
have them despite what their fond
mammas have to say, and so what re
mains for tho poor fnshlomnakers to do
but to produco them? Which they are
doing. Trousers galore frilly, lacy ones
for evening wear and substantial durable
ones for tho cold light of day.
Practically every advanced stylo skirt
In tho shops shows an Irrepressible ten
dency toward trousers. Maybe It's only tho
Insatiable longing which every woman
nourishes 111 her breast to "wear tho
pants" that's responsible, but nt any rato
tho fact remains that trousers for women
are here.
This docs not mean that the damsel
who wishes to be a la mode must mako
of herself a replica edition of Dr. Mary
Walker, tho pioneer advocate of trousers
for women. Fur from It. As a last
concession to modesty nnd tho prudes the
style arbiters have declatcd that the
greater portion of the femlnino "panties"
shall be shielded from tho vulgar gaze by
a skirt, whoso length shall bo not quite
so unvlrtuous as a ballet dancer's, nor
yet so lengthy as the nvcrage Mapper's.
Rather shall it bo of that half-concealing,
hnlf-reveullng longth, which la midway
between tho knee and the ankle.
From the hem two regulation trouscr
legs depend. They uie exactly like a
man's, even to tho nent way In which
they aro cuffed. If those In the Illustra
tion seem a bit wider than tho ones
usually worn by father or brother,
Madnmo who sells them hastens to rc
nssuro you that they have not been made
wide cxpresuly for woman.
"All trousers aro going to be wldo like
that this spring, even tho men's. That is
merely a prophecy, not a concession, to
femininity."
The argument which the "pantle" en
thusiasts are advancing in favor of tho
mode Is that It will do away forever with
tho hated petticoat and that furthermore
it will facilitate walking. And as for
the argument that they are unwomanly
nnd Immodest, it Is disposed of with a
shrug:
"No women are more modest than tho
Turkish women," say tho enthusiasts, "or
than the Chinese women, nnd yet the
women of both of these nations 'nave
boen wearing trousers from time imme
morial. Why not we?"
SUFFRAGE BAZAAR ENDS
Affair Proves Great Financial and
Moral Success.
The Keystone State Bazaar, held during
tho last two days at the New Century
Drawing Booms under the auspices of a
number of suffrage societies of the State
and city, came to a-cloeo last night. About
J2000 hus been realized thus far. This
sum, however, Is only part of the receipts.
A greater amount will bo turned over Into
the suffragists' treasury tfday.
The bazaar was closed with tho pre
sentation of one-act plays by the Plays
and Players' Club. "Tho Voices," "The
Sisters" and Shaw's "How He Lied to
Her Husband" were presented.

sponsible by the Rev. W. Arthur Warner

phla "that first make children fight for
life and then provide the environment
that Is a trap to ensfiara the soul." He
said that economic Injustice enslaves too
many.
"They nro bound," he said, "not only
to their poverty, but to despair. To
believe thnt Christian men 'willed' to have
It so would be a hurt to our faith in the
Gospel. Is it not rather that men fall
to think?
'There uro those who tell us that Iho
slums of Philadelphia aro among the
worst in the world. Children In Insani
tary buildings nre fighting for life, nnd
when the fight Is won for the body, the
trap is already set In degrading environ
ment to ensnare the soul. The repeat of
tho housing act that has to do with tho
dwellings of tho poor Is urged upon our
Legislature, nnd nny very great and pow
erful opposition to this repeal has not as
yet appeared.
"We point with pride to the City of
Brotherly Love as a stronghold of the
Christian Church, and yet so vital a mat
ter falls In popular Interest fnr behind
the trnctlon question. 'Billy' Sunday and
speculation as to who will probably be
nominated for .Mayor. It does not mean
thai wo nro heartless, nor does It mean
that our Christian faith Is a hollow mock
ery. 'The Impulses to sclf-lndulgcnco are the
strongest, nnd with minds too Intent on
this wo have qulto naturally fallen Into
the habit of thinking too little about the
other."
