JFARMER SMITH'S
TWO LITTLE GIRLS
Dear Everybody It is very hard for grown-ups to understand that children
have their troubles and sorrows, just as big and just as important to them as
the, grown-ups' troubles nre to them.
Once upon a time two little girls had a picnic. Tho very next day they
wero to have another picnic and the father of ono of tho girls suggested that
it was too often two picnics in two days. (What do fathers know, anyway?)
Well, the second day something dreadful happened. The two little dears
were to stay out all day to be exact, they wero to return at 5:30 p. m.
At 3 p. m. the two little girls camo home. The father of one. of the little
girls asked what the matter was and ono of the little girls Baid;
"She wouldn't speak to me 1 I am not mad at her, but shd is mad at me !"
The father thought there was going to be war for sure. "I am not iqad at
her, but she i3 mad at mo I"
What DID it mean?
The two little girls took their naps and in about an hour afterward they
went for a ride on 'the merry-go-round. Thus was a great war averted.
Blessed be sleep! - FARMER SMITH, Children's Editor.
MISTER ELEPHANT
MEETS SIRS. GIRAFFE
By Farmer Smith
Mrs. Giraffe walked along Sunshine lane
in Jungletown laughing all the way down
her lbng neck. By and by she met Mister
Elephant.
"Good morning. Governor; I am very
glad to see you how are the bableaT"
Mrs. Giraffe smiled her sweetest.
'How did you know I was a governor
In the Babies' Hospital?" asked Mister Ele

"I Just met your dear wife and she told

but does she not like the 1100 part of ltt"

AUTOS TO CARRY FOOD
TO SHORE AND VISITORS
HOME IF STRIKE COMES
Atlantic City Hotel Men Prepare
for Railroad Tie-Up; Will
Impress Jitneys and
Motortrucks
NO DANGER OP FAMINE
ATLANTIC CITY. Aug. 31. Tho hotel
and business men of this city have planned
to take caro of nil visitors who may bo
marooned here should the railroad strike
orders go Into effect next Monday.
At n meeting last night a committee
which had been appointed to look after tho
food supply for this city mndo Its first
report. Financed by a number of leading
hotel propriMorB this commltteo has ar
ranged matters bo that thcro will bo no
chnnco of a food famlno In this city on
account of lack of railroad transportation
facilities An option on tho services of atl
motortrucks hero has been obtained and
they vt ill bo utilized to carry provlnluns,
vegetables, eggs and milk from Philadel
phia nnd other points to this city during
tho ritilroad tie-up. A large quantity of
merchandise has been brought hero this
summer by automobile trucks and tho serv
ice has been satisfactory.
. It Is also expected that tho numerous
Jitney buses In operation In this city dur
ing tho summer season will bo pressed Into
servlco to bring foodstuffs here. On their
return trips to largo cities they will carry
passengers who wish to get homo.
AH of tho largo hotels hero havo store
houses, llllod at all times with provisions
enough to Inst a week or moro. nnd unless
tho strlko should bo of long duration thcro
will bo no Inconvcnlcnco to any visitors,
At the annual meeting of the Chelsea
Improvement Association, held this week, a
trlbuto was paid to tho woman who planned
that beautiful seaside resort and through
her faith In Its ultlmato success and her
hard work when It was a wcnkllng over
came many obstacles which threatened to
make the original purchasers of tho land
bankrupts and tho dreamed-of city a monu
mental failure.
Mrs. Mary A. Riddle, mother of ex-Mayor
William Riddle, was tho ono who saw tho
possibilities In Chelsea, nnd until tho day
of her health worked nlong the lines which
have made that portion of Atlantic City
a minlaturo paradise. Many property own
ers, men who havo made millions out of
tho land there, havo talked of a monument
to this enterprising woman, to bo placed at
tho gatoway to Chelsea, nnd this may bo
erected some day. Thcro Is now talk of
starting a fund for that purpose.
Chelsea Is to pay particular attention to
tho Improvement of nil street ends. Gardens
will bo planted nt every beach end, Penn
sylvania top-solt being used to malco tho
flowers bloom quickly.
Atlantic City proper will also mako a
move In tho same direction next spring. At
tho beach end of a few of tho avenues tho
flower gardens planted by Individuals and
by tho city havo been much admired by
visitors and many moro of them will bo
constructed next year.
Tho overhanging garden, on the soaward
side- of tho walk, planned by a former
Mayor, was never given a chanco to bo a
success, as it was not given tho proper at
tention during tho experimental Btage. That
flowers can bo grown close to tho ocean has
been proved, and an effort will bo mado to
add boxes to tho outer rail of tho Board
walk to contain blossoming plants before
tho start of another summor season.
The filling in of tho bench at points whero
Jottlcs wero constructed last spring has
proved that theso broakwaters aro tho
proper contrivances' for saving tho bathing
beach from destruction nnd many new ones
will bo built next spring. Cribs mado of
piling, filled with heavy rocks, havo with
stood tho stormy successfully, and unless
winter tldC3 should wash them away that
method of construction will bo used on all
Jetties hereafter built In this city.

THF.PRIVATF.WAR
I Ry TDUI.S JOSEPH VAHCE -the BR'a'ss' lowt." I
CIIAPTP.B XXI (Contlnned).
AMEN 1" prayed I.
A llttlo cheer went up from the
crow. So small was our deck space that vir
tually every man aboard was within ear
rnngo of Sevrnnce, Garvin nnd myself, nnd
could hear nil that was said. Their spirit
wds ohly tho moro thoroughly evidenced
by tho ring of that cheer they wero with
us to a man.
I think that tho Vistula's officers must
havo been watching us closely through their
glasses nnd havo understood our Intentions
townrd them. As Oarvln knelt, ndjusllng
tho torpedo director, they opened upon us
with their rnpld-flro guns happily with
execrable aim. At first their shots flow
wide nnd our men yelped cheerful derision,
forgetful of their slain shipmates and tho
wrecked lifeboat.
Gnrvln himself remained unmoved Im
perturbnbly he adjusted tho director, now
nnd ngnln bending to sight nlong it.
Presently I saw him sttnlghtcn up and raiso
ono hand.
Thcro was a slight, muffled explosion,
mudi like a henvy, bronchial cough, with
scarcely nny perccptiblo Jnr, Simultane
ously tho torpedo slipped smoothly from
tho tube, rccmed to pause hesitant In the
nlr for a second, then vanished gracefully,
taking a long, curving dlvo over tho rail,
entering tho water with scarcely a splash
nnd disappearing completely.
I fancied thnt, a moment later, I caught
a gllmpso of Its slim, steel body lifting up
waVd toward tho surfnee, far In our rear
and directly In a line with tho Vistula. It
then became Indisputably patent that wo
wero being watched by the olllcers of thnt
esscl. Abruptly their fire slackened nnd
died, leaving nn aching void of sllcnco
where, a mlnuto gone, tho world had been
echoing with tho drumming of tho quick
fire guns. Sovrnnce, 1th our glasses, de
elated that they had observed the firing of
tho torpedo, that agitation was plainly vis
Iblo among tho crew of tho destroyer. I
could not see, for ho clung to tho binoculars
despnratcly, and vouchsafed mo but (Clow
almost unlntolllglblo monosyllables.
You may guess that wo waited with
strained expectancy. Minutes may havo
passed It's hard to say. You would not
havo cnught a sound aboard tho Clymeno,
barring tho panting of tho engines; not n
man spoke.
It was only a question of tlmo, wo
thought, cro would como tho total demoli
tion of tho Vistula. That vessel had been
estimated as well within range ; the White
head had less than two-thirds of a mllo to
go and that at a speed of 31 knots .an
houi I Only a matter of fleeting sec
onds. Nothing happened. Those seconds sped,
and still tho Vistula hold on In undeterred
pursuit. Reluctantly wo wero compelled to
relinquish hope, to admit that an error hnd
been mado, perhaps; that tho Whitehead
had proved defective; thnt any ono of n
thourand-and-ono circumstances hud
worked against tho true flight of tho "death
flsh" as Sevranco nicknamed It.
To prove tho truth of this conclusion, tho
Vistula reopened Are. And now her aim
was somewhat Improved ; missiles shrieked
across our decks. I saw a man doubled up,
ns If some ono had suddenly struck him
a .violent blow In tho pit of tho stomach.
Ho was standing near tho starboard rail;
tho force of tho blow toro him In twain
and swept him overboard. Ho died unwept
wo had stern business to our hands.
Grimly, with determination mastering
their wrath, tho mon labored with tho after
tube, roloadlng it with a torpedo, making
all things ready for Garvln'B word. He
Invaluable nnd undaunted man: God rest
his bouI! frowned over the directing ma
chine, taking full meed of tlmo to Insure
an accurate aim.
"In a flash, a thought struck Sevranco.
He wheeled about and shouted to ono of
tho crow to hoist tho Union Jack above the
Russian ensign.
"We'll fight under our own flag and dlo
under It, If need bo!" ho declared. "We'll
give theso Dutchmen the hell they seek,
If wo can but wo'll unmask to do It!"
There was no response wo wero too In
tent upon tho progress of tho duel. For as
a duel It has always figured to me in retro
spect. Steadily we forged on, under forced
draught, the labors of our mlghtly engines
shaking the frail Clymene until ono fan
cied that she would disintegrate In another
instant.
Yet, though wo fled at tho top of our
speod, it was evident that tho Vistula was
loslnir no ground. She held on unwavering
ly, a white plume of water under her bows.
If anything, she was gaining.
Again I saw Garvin raise his hand In
mute command, nnd again there followed
the throaty cough as tho Whitehead was
launched. A second time wo hung upon the
flying instants that sped between Its Im
mersion and the explosion that should come
but did not. '
And tho Vistula was gaining Strain as
the Clymene might, her engines, high

Is, or rather what boys call a 'sissy,' Is a
boy who Is so 'fussed up' he Is afraid to
move or play any games for fear he will
get a spot on his dainty clothes. He is
too nice to climb trees or do anything else
a real boy likes to do. He would rather
use his sister's nail file than do some useful
work that a boy who ever means to be a

causing more or less damage. Shortly after
tho beginning of our return flro I counted
two dead nnd three wounded on our decks.

Almost Immediately tho Clymene was
staggered by a powerful blow so forcible,
us though delivered by somo huge and ir
rcslstable battering ram, as to throw men
from their feet I myself fell sprawling
upon the corpso of a Norwegian.
There was n grinding nnd crashing noise
llko tho blasting of rock by dynamite. A
loud, clear, even, musical and metallic clank
sounded, bcll-llko, through tho vessel. She
seemed to halt, plunged forward, limping
like a cripple nnd came to a full stop.
A cloud of steam burst from tho engine
room companlonway, thick and stinking,
rendering lnvlslblo tho whole of tho forward
deck. From it I could see, as In a glass
darkly, dim shapes of men staggering up
from the hatchway and throwing them
selves upon tho deck out of reach of the
scalding vapor, screaming.
Garvin roso behind me, shrieking with
rage. "By God !" ho screeched, menacing
high heaven with a blasphemous, fist,
"they've spoiled my nlm 1" He turned
toward mo with ludicrous and Impotent ex
asperation. "I'd 'a had her that time,

Tho third torpedo, It seemed, had been
launched Just at the wrong moment.
But tho consciousness of our fatal catas
trophe drowned every other consideration.
A shell had penetrated tho engine room

escape. The engines were ruined, the

doubled In violence. I wondered that they
should he so heartless, uliould show us
euch slight pity In our extremity. Surely
they could not suppose that we! contem
plated any further resistance! Yet I had
reason to be.-fr In mind tho cold nnd heart
less nnd unrelenting raffo of tho Teuton
crossed, both as man and nation. The
thought camo to mo that we had llttla to
hopo for front them, even should we at
onca cry for quarter.
From some distance to port and nt
times It sounded ns though from astern
cime n ceaseless racket of firing. I won
dered thnt the Vistula should waste her
ammunition so freely upon such small and
feeble game. And, wondering, I came to
my senses such as they were staggered
up and out of the smoke cloud.
Almost at once I stumbled Into Sevrance,
who clapped a. hand upon my shoulder with
a fervent "Thank God, you're safe, old
man 1"
"But the others V I asked.
Ho shook his head sorrowfully. "Itfs a
had business!" he said. "Bad badt Tho
deck's a shambles, Gordon. They've shot
us to bits the Infamous cowards I I doubt
If wo've half our men nllvo or nblobodicd.
The englno room's blown to Bmltheroons.

alive "
"Callahan?" I Interrupted anxiously.
Sovrnnce bowed hs head ; ho was hatless.
"Ho's still down thcro beyond rescue
I he was struck dead by tho same shell."
"It's good to know that It wasn't the
steam"
"Don't I" Sevranco pleaded.
I held sllcnco for a spaco; then: "What
to do now?"
"What can we? We're on tho knees of
tho gods."
"VIM wo can surrender and tako our
medicine," I suggested.
"Don't be nn ass, Gordon. Wo'vo got to
fight It out or adopt tho Japanese plan."
"Why, what do you "
"Hara-kiri 1" Sevranco smiled. "You
don't seem to understand. Here's a German
destroyer, tho Vistula, Balling under falsa
colors nnd wantonly nttacklng a vessel
flying the colors of a friendly power I" Ho
caught at his breath. "Heaven alono knows
how Holzborn that fiend 1 compassed this
business 1" ho cried. "But tho Vistula Is
In for It. D'ye supposo sho can afford to
let ono witness live to toll tho tale? Think
what this story would mean not only for
Germany, but for the ship's officers them
selves. How they think to keep It quiet.
Heaven alono knows, but tho fact remains
that this business has got to bo hushed up
at whatever cost of blood nnd ships.' Our
turn will como after she's through with the
Asp out there. Tho Asp's the dcuco of a
damaging witness what you might call an
unforeseen contingency, Gordon; something
that the German murderers hadn't counted
upon don't you see? So they're trying to
sllcnco her by main strength and weight of
ordnance."
"You don't mean that?"
"I would It were not true."
"Then they're not firing on us?"
Ho smiled bitterly. "What need? We
aro out. They can afford to take their
tlmo before polishing us off. But tho Asp
has got to bo attended to right away."
He moved over to tho rail, straining his
eyes against tho blinding fog.
"Nothing to see," ho commented, "but
from tho sound of it, thcy'ro at It hammer
and tongs, my boy! May Providence be
with tho British 1"
As I stumbled toward him. Garvin reeled
out of the mist nnd Joined us. He was pale
ns a sheet, save where blood had spattered
his head and torso for ho was stripped to
tho waist. His lips, I remember, were un
cannily blue, his eyes staring, his features
working as convulsively as hlrf broad and
hairy chest that rose and fell spasmodically.
Perspiration ran from him In streams.
'Throe gun crews left, sir," he reported.
"I've got 'em togethor, sir, and ready to
work tho two 12-poundcrs and the after
tube. I "
Sevrance shrugged his shoulders. "Oh. is
It worth whllo?"
"Give me unother chanco at 'em, s!rr"
Garvin pleadud. "They say the third time's
luck. I'd 'a' blown them to perdition, sir,
that last time If that infernal sholl hadn't
torn through to the engines. I want. only
one more chance at the tube, and then, If
that's no go, I'll give It up. but "
"Ah, what difference? Have It your own
way. I'm only wishing .hat we could return
a part of what they've given us. Garvin
and It seems to mo that we could work the
most damage with the guns."
"Thank you, sir. If I don't strike with
tho first torpedo, then I give It up and tako
to the 6-pounders. At least, wo can help
the Asp out a bit"
"If they are not out of range." Sevrance
reminded. "We can't move, you know."
"But we can sting a Ml If they'ro in
range, a3 you say, sir."
He seemed struck wltn an Idea, and,
turning. Instantly vanished.
A whiff of cold air. heavy with moisture,
