Mrs. Leo Is n picture, with her blue eyes nnd auburn her, and Is so enthusiastic sho Is un insplation to any one who works with her. SPEAKING of the Wayne Branch, that entemrlslnc auxiliary of tho Red Cross held a market at the headquarters In Wayne last Saturday morning, nnd in a few hours cleared about $50 belling Vegetables, flowers and vcgetablo plants. TALKING of the Red Cross, I hopo that it is not all fad with the learners, as It is with some. It seems a pity that every great movement must always havo a certain number ot persons who con nect themselves with It for the glory of the namo, but as to giving real atten tion and timo and turning what they have learned Into practical use, good night! it can't be did. Now, don't misunderstand me. I am not crying down tho good work which has been done and Is being dono by great numbers of earnest women all over tjie country, but there nro always a certain percentage of notoriety seekers and social climbers who see in good works a chanco to get a footing they could not possibly achieve otherwise. All of which Is neither hero nor there In my story, for the women of whom I am about to tell were by no means climbers. They were only Veil, I don't exactly know how to say just what they were. But I am afraid they are apt to look on few things as serious in tnis iwo. J In a certain small town ncar nerf a , amall bov was brought Into a drug stbre. 4 Hla forehead Was badly gashed and ho ..

" .,'.. ... . iNi..j viann .unable to tenea no w " ; -v , .t i tit" Wr W Jf rSJEJ Uoth women shrugged their shoulders and ono answered: "Heavens! Don't ask me; I haven't got my book with mo." If It had been a romantic soldier who had been hurt lighting for his country and all that hero stuff, they would prob ably have even rushed home for tho book, If the mind was too blank to carry any memory of what should be done, but tho patient being a unall unknown boy de cided the case for them t once. They would not even go to look at the child and try to help tho poor clerk. Strange charity that, which allows tho present opportunity to pass, CHILDREN are an unending source of Joy, aren't they? Did you ever havo a pet donkey when you were a kiddle? I once knew a little girl who had ono nnd sho named him James Whltcomb Riley. You know they ha'- long, soft, fuzzy ears and mild brown eyes (tho donkeys, not the llttlo girls), and they look so docile. Oh, yes; they JooA: meek and mild, but they'ro not. All tho time they are cooking up bome deviltry to do to you, whether It Is to dump you suddenly at the foot of a hill or mako a wild dash for tho backyard whero your mother's best hollyhocks nre planted or whero Susan lias Just hung up tho freshly washed clothes and has not counted on you and, let us say, "James Whltcomb" parading right through them. Well, speaking of burros, I heard re cently of a llttlo girl oh, such a dear little one, who had been nufforlng dread fully with whooping cough. For weeks and weeks sho whooped If you looked at' her and sho did It when you didn't look at her. Sho whooped at night and all day, too, poor llttlo soul, much to the dis comfiture of the neighbors, nnd It Is need less to say that htr sufferings made a great Impression on her. Ono day when her birthday came around nnd her father and mother gave J her a dear little soft lonkey for her very own, sho was overjoyed and threw her arms around the animal, who responded to tho caresses by hee-hawing In the most approved donkey fashion. "Oh," said tho llttlo girl grasping tho situation nt once, "Tho poor donkey's got tho whooping cough, too," WEDDINGS LATE IN JULY MOSTLY QUIET AFFAIRS Small Wedding This Afternoon Fol lowed by Dinner There are a fow weddings each day on the social calendar, but mostly quiet affairs This evening at B o'clock Miss Hortenio Dorglu-nskl. daughter of Mr nnd Mrs Isaac Ilorghcnskl, of 4559 North Thlrtei-nth street, will ho married to Mr. Herbert A Huxbaum. of 3411 North Twcnty-flrt street, by the Rev.

In that It tells us that her son Yorke has been promoted to tho rank of First Lieutenant In tho French army and that In the future he will command Section 1 of tho American Ambulance,Jn this work he succeeds tho late Benjamin Woodworth. of Germantown, who was killed recontly while making a flght In an airplane with a friend.

No cine reallv knows, and no one can tell why for many years the oft repeated phrase, "All aboard for Mana yimk I" wnR shouted In Jest wherever a Kroup of ploaiuro heekcru was gathered at railroad stations, or nt any waiting place for transportation. And even nt this late date. I am told, a friend of one of the Hildlcr boys going to sco him oft for the tialnlng camp, shouted as the train drew out, "All aboard for Manayunk !" Koine years ngo a Jovial resident of this section, traveling abroad, while In Tarlx win astonished to hear some one behind him say, "All aboard for Manayunk !" It proved to be one of his townsmen. After a cordial greeting he Introduced tho neighbor to his companion, a native of London. "Why," said tho Londoner, "I thought you were from Philadelphia: Is that near Manayunk?" "Yes, Indeed," replied the Jovial one, "Phil adelphia Is a suburb of Manayunk." During the Civil War the name was so well known, It has been stated, that there was not a regiment In tho I'nlon or Confederate army hut what had a man In It who had lived In Manayunk or knew sonio ono who djd. I am sure It Ii much moro euphonious than "Udoravla," the namo suggested In 1S24 by a classical scholar, and which was adoptea nnu printea on a nonru aim ele vated on a post In a conspicuous place. However, there were faddists In those dajs, anil there was a fad Just then for Indian names. So tho mill owners suggested tho Indian namo of the Schuylkill lllvcr. and this was adopted at a town meeting. In an cient orthography It was spelled Manlunk. or Mnnjunk, but the town fathers, for the reason that It could bo "moro easily ac quired and remembered, tho spelling being more poetical," spelled It Mana-yunk.

Now, tho clown was at first very angry with Blllv for upsetting his plans, but when ho saw that tho crowd was pleased there was nothing for him to do but put his wet arms around Billy's neck and give him a big clovyn hug. Billy was a bit surprised at what was taking place, but ho felt the clown's face next to his and his noso began to smell something sweet which made Billy sniff Just a tiny hit "I hope he don't make my neck any smaller." said Billy, thinking of how he had tried to stretch his neck like a giraffe's, "Dearie me' That smell annoys me." Then Billy began to lick tho paint off the clown's face. Slowly at first and then a little faster until all the white was off one side of the funny fellow's face. "You rascal '" exclaimed tho clown, as he let looso of Billy "But I will have to for Kivo you, for you nre going to have an act with mo and wo will make the hit of the circus. I don't suppose you understand, hut wo are to do tho same thing tonight and at every performance Do you understand?" Billy couldn't answer back, but ho nib bled a. llttlo hole In the clown's trousers whero It couldn't bo noticed. The clown wondered why Billy was so quiet. He found out later when he saw that there was hni In his trousers. "I'll have to watch that brute." he said. "He Is an angel one mlnuto and a mlschlefmaker the other. But our act was delightful, I wouldn't take n thousand dollars for that goat, no slr-er " That night when all was ready, Billy was put into the trunk and carried out Into the middle of the ring all ready for his act when the tlmo should come, Now, It so happened that some one, we will not think It was the clown, had forgotten to feed Billy and when he was put Into the trunk there 'was nothing for him to do but start and eat up what ever came In his way and to his great surprise he found 'that there were a lot of things which he loved to eat Billy went to sleep as he had done the nrst time, only he waited until he had filled himself with what there was to eat By and by the trunk was opened and It was expected that Billy would Jump out, but he was so full of old ctothes, old shoes, neck ties, collars and what not. that he could not move. The act was spoiled. In a great hurry th men removed Bily and the trwucirern uio rwi no tt ms sWJUaa-riB T"w ilM?fflHsffl5r"fW'8l Half-Clad Guests Driven From Rooms by Hotel Explosion CHICAGO.
