EXPLORER SEEKS AID OF STROHGIRM Ml Algot Lange Wants Convict to Go on an Exploring Expedition Philadelphia, April 24.—1f there is a hold train robber or general all round holdup man about to finish a term of from ten to fifteen years In the Eastern Penitentiary and he really wants a chance to get a fresh start, there is a job" awaiting him. What is more, this Job is no ordi nary one; he will have an opportunitv to "put it all over" Colonel Roosevelt, for Algot the explorer, says he is looking for just such a man to'take with him, within the next six weeks, to uncharted land in South America. Mr. modestly says he expects to discover about 200 "Rivers of Doubt" on his coming trip into the Amazon jungles. Mr. came to this citv yester day to consult with the publisher of his several books on jungle life and also to address a meeting of the Home and School League last night. It was while sitting in the office of his pub lisher at 925 Filbert street yesterdav afternoon that he told of his ambition's along the line of uplift for a convict. Seeks Hardened Convict "I expect to leave for m.v greatest «xploration undertaking within the next six weeks or two months," the explorer said. "I will take with me a surveyor, and X want another white man. Of course, I will pick up about a do*en natives when T leave Para, Brazil. I believe that a hardened con vict would be an excellent man to take along:. He would have become accus tomed to hardships and should prove an ideal member of our expedition, t will not pay him a salary; he will get Just what I get, three meals a dav, sometimes, and from two to three years of interesting work. This will save the convict from having to face the world, where he is known; and I should think there are one or more men in the Kastern Penitentiary who would be glad to grasp this oppor tunity." . Mr. Lange said he would visit War den McKenty. either to-day or Mon day, and look over the men who are about to be discharged from the prison. If he cannot find a suitable man here, he will try Sing Sing, New York. In fact, he says he already has taken the matter up by letter with Thomas Mott Osborne, the new warden of Sin? Sing.

BARRISBURG TELEGRAPH A NEW AND SMART BLOUSE. ka Interesting Model with V-Shap«l Neck and Long Sleeves. By MAY MAN TON 8579 Blouse with Vest Effect, 34 to 42 bust. Familiar fashions do not always die easily, women have been very unwilling to give up the comfort of the low collar, and the compromise shown in this blouse has been made in response to an urgent de mand. This blouse is a very pretty one with a little vest that allows effective use of contrasting material. It is simple too, meaning no difficulty for making, and equally pretty for wear with the odd skirt, with the tailored suit, or when made with skirt to match, for a simple one-piece gown. In the picture, the material is embroidered cotton crfpe combined with pique, and that combina tion of a thin material with a heavy one makes a noticeable feature of the new models. Crfcpe de chine with Bengaline or with silk poplin makes a fashionable and attractive combination, and in various ways, the idea of a thin, plain with a heavy ribbed material iscarrieaout. For the medium size will be needed yds. of material 27 in. wide, yds. i~< fj yds. 44, with yd. 27, for vest, collar and cuffs. The pattern No. 8579 is cut in sizes from 34 to 42 bust measure. It will be mailed to any address by the Fashioa Department of this paper, on receipt tea cents. Bowman's sell May Manton Patterns. Many Acts For Children Featured in Big Circus It may be a pleasing Action that the modern circus is primarily intended for the edification and delight of the children; but the fact remains that no memory lingers longer in the minds of men and women than that which Is associated with the enhancements of the sawdust arena—the airy, fairy riders; the whirling acrobats; the gravity-defying aerialists; the fool eries of the clowns; the roar and dash of the hippodrome races, and the wonders of the animal world as dis played in the traveling menagerie. In these days of big amusement en terprises the circus has become an en tertainment for "srown-ups" as well as children, but no astute circus man ager, who expected to win continued | success, would neglect the younger generation in preparing his program of arenlc attractions. The manage ment of the Barnum & Bailey Great est Show on Earth, which exhibits in Harrisburg on Thursday, May 6, rec ognizes this fact by announcing a complete children's circus as an in tegral part of this season's program. A recent visitor to the big show thus gives his impressions of this feature of the entertainment: "Among the thousand-and-one won derful sights are many that have been secured for the avowed purpose of delighting the children. Little ele phants, tiny ponies, dogs, monkeys, and other animals execute tricks sim ilar to those read about in story books, and the little ones fairly revel in what, to their youthful fancies, is a veritable fairyland of wonders. Such attractions as the zoological display afford them an excellent idea of the beasts, birds and reptiles existing in the world, and prove of distinct edu cational value. Thalero's dog and pony circus, with the smallest ponies in the world, a troupe of tiny Lilli putians, a giant, as big as ever fancy painted the Goliath of the Bible or the Magog of the fairy tales, a giantess, and the ridiculous antics of the clowns, are all features that ir resistibly appeal to childhood and make impressions that will never be eradicated." There are, it is said, many other in teresting features of the Barnum & Bailey show, which, while not espe cially designed for the children, prove vastly entertaining to the younger element In the audience. In the men agerie pavilion, in addition to the notable display of wild .animals, with its rare bi-horned rhinocerous, there is a kindergarten of baby animals, born during the past winter and Spring in the Big Show's animal quarters at Bridgeport, Conn. In the big hippodrome pavilion 480 per formers from all parts of the world keep the three rings, four stages, areal spaces and racing track busy with a varied assortment of new and daring performances; there are sev eral novelties of a thrilling character; and, finally, a series of exciting races, one of which—a running contest be tween ponies with jabbering monkeys as riders —is designed to appeal to the youngsters in the crowd, and un doubtedly does. The spectacular pageant, Lalla Rookh, by reason of its beautiful color schemes, dazzling brilliancy and his torical value, proves an Interesting feature for the young set.—Advertise ment.

Effectsof State Pensions Upon Mothers BY DOROTHY DIX The advocates of the Widowed Moth ers' Pension bill have spoken of It only from tile children's side of the ques tion. They have shown how much better off a child is in its own home, however humble that home may be, than It Is in an orphan asylum, no matter how scientifically and humanely that asylum may be conducted. They have shown that institution reared children, who have been brought up to bathe and dress and "eat and play and study and work and rise up and sit down to the tap of a bell, almost invariably develop into machine-like men and women, without initiative or originality of their own. They have shown not only how cruel a thing It is to break the tie between mother and child, and sisters and brothers, but also how dangerous It Is to do so, for there Is no other one fact in human development so potent as family affection and the sense of re sponsibility that this brings with it. Nothing so makes recklessness of con duct in either a boy or a girl as the feeling that he or she has nobody be longing to him or her. And, conversely, the knowledge that he had his widowed mother to support has been the spur in the side of many a boy that has sent him along the road to fame and fortune. Even so great a man as Sir James Barrie says that the thing that gave him courage to per sist "at the writing" was his desire that his mother might lie soft at night and sit warm by the fire in the day. Finally the advocates of the Widowed Mothers' Pension bill have shown that for the same amount of money that the State spends to keep a child tn an orphan asylum he can be boarded with his mother and the little home kept i together. It is ri«*ht that the children should be considered first in this matter and their good determine It, but there is also another side to the question. That is the mother's. The mothers need the children just as much as the children need the mothers. The mothers who have children of an age to be sent to an orphan asylum are themselves young women. Many of them are not overwlse. and In spite of having been married and had children, have little real knowledge of the world. Most of them have had few advan- ) tages of education .and have few re- J sources within themselvep. These women are primitive creatures | with primitive Instincts. They must ; have something to love, something to!

Give them the normal life of a woman with husband and children to All their days with interest, and they are goon women. Take away from them all that they care for, and you have snapped the anchor chain that held them safe and steady in the surge of temptations that beats about every goodlooking young woman who is alone in the world. The death of a day laborer, and the breaking up of a two-room home is a far more poignant tragedy than the passing away of a millionaire whose family have only their personal loss to mourn. Their home remains intact. The bereaved widow does not have to have her heart torn in twain a second time by losing her children as well as her husband. But this Is the all too common bitter fate of the poor woman when the bread-winner of her household dies. She cannot make by her own labor enough to feed the hungry mouths of her brood, and so her little ones are taken from her and sent to orphan asylums. Who can blame a woman thus cruelly used by destiny if she tries to drown the memory of happier days in drink, or dulls the aching, longing for her loved ones by dope, or if. when there seems no right way to happiness, she attempts to find it in the wrong way? AVe hear much of a mother's enobling and restraining influence over her chil dren.- It Is not a tithe of what a child's Influence is over a mother. The weakest baby hands that ever fumbled at a wo man's breast have more power for up lift In them than all the preaching and moral platitudes that were ever utter ed. The eyes that a woman must be able to meet fearlessly are her chil dren's eyes. Ami from the highest to the lowest, the thought of her children has been a magic talisman that has given millions of women the strength to resist temptation. Only the most abandoned of women will let evil come near her children or permit them to see her do a wrong act, and in this way the child becomes the guardian and protector of the mother. With her little home kept together, with her children to work for, to be interested in, to expend her affections upon, there Is small chance of the widowed mother not living an exem plary life. Robbed by death of her hus band, and by poverty of her home and children, who can tell to what length despair may drive her, or which of us will dare to cast the first stone if her sin has been partly caused by our stupid laws" For the sake of the woman as well as the child, let ui pass the Widowed Mothers' Pension bill, and not be guilty of separating a mother and her babes, and breaking up a home that might have been kept together. ■■■■■■■■——■» 3 -0° Sunday R«UIMI Trip Excursion NEW YORK THK GREAT MKTROPOMS SUNDAY, MAY 2 E7" A big opportunity to are a big: city.
