Ir HE HAD THEM IN A CORNER Clergyman's Rebuke to Thoughtless Youths at Once Neat and .. Disconcerting. well-known clergyman was one day in a barber's shop, when four or ?T? young men walked in whom he kMs by their voices, but who did not recognize the man in the chair, with lather all over his face. They proceeded to spend the time by telling stories and using expressions which, to say the least, were rather strong. When the barber pulled away the towel the clergyman, cleanly shaved, stood before them. So nonplussed were they that no one tried to take the vacant chair, and the barber , called several times: "Next gentleman!'' The clergyman smiled somewhat grimly as he said: "It isn't a bit of use, John. There's not a man here who has the effrontery to answer to that nan.e."

As be entered the Pullmar car, breathless from his speed efforts his composure was not restored bj the 6lght of a young woman lrre proachably groomed and gowned whc occupied the section opposite the one assigned to him. She was apparent ly absorbed in a novel, but Craig with the sure intuition of a man in love knew that she had witnessed hla entrance. The Inevitable first quarrel ol lovers had occurred between Claudia Wayne and himself exactly sixty seven hours ago, and the adamant at tltude she had since assumed and her refusal to liBten to explanations had caused him to And solace In a busl ness trip. He hadn't the sltghtesl idea that she, too, contemplated a Journey. It was an awkward contretemps for him, and he contemplated changing his section. A second covert glance so convinced him of her In souciance that he decided to be ae deficient as she was. After setting himself and his belongings comfortably, he began tc take inventory of the other occupants of the car. A lackadaisical young matron with her child, a boy, of two, a heedless young nursemaid, and two traveling men comprised the list. "First call for dinner." suddenly bawled a white-coated waiter. Everyone but Claudia responded tc the call, and Craig concluded she was waiting until he should have dined After an uncomfortable meal, be sought the smoker. By the time he had returned to his Bection, the last ?n ? tk*/vnnK f KA oor can was rcuuiiiK luiuugu mv vw but Claudia made no move. Fearing absorption In her book had precluded notice of the call, Craig called the porter and bade him remind her that the diner would soon leave the train "I don't wish to dine, thank you.' she replied to the porter's solicitous suggestion. Two or three hours later, Craig noticed with concern that she looked wan and pale "Women never know when nor how to eat," he thought Impatiently. By this time Claudia and the young matron, through the agency of the child, had become acquainted, and //f/m IftAhAMi ijj^l | * rim j 8ARC*'m^ Buys a Basket of Fruit. this gave Craig an Inspiration. Al the next station he found an at tractive fruit display. He purchased a basket of luscious peaches anc pears which he offered to the young matron. She accepted It with appro clatlve enthusiasm and immediately offered to share it with Claudia. A warm wave of color passed over th( girl's face as she coldly refused the fruit and ostentatiously returned tc her perusal of the book. He wa? chagrined to feel that her sole rea6or for refusing it waB because he hac purchased it Presently a diner was again at tached and the welcome first call o: supper sounded. The young matror went forward. admonishing th? nursemaid to guard the child wh< was sleeping peacefully on a pillow rinnrttn still remained In her seat watching wistfully the nursemaid whc was fortifying herself by meanp ol the fruit and a box of luncheon. As Claudia passed her to get some water, the maid extended the box. "Have a sandwich," she urged "and some fruit." Claudia hesitated, eyed the boy longingly, and then took a sandwich. "Thank you. 1 don't care for any fruit, however." She ate with such apparent relish that Craig gave up his idea that she was fasting He got off at the next stop for a moment and when he re entered the Pullman be did so by the rear door, occupying the section be hind the nursemaid and the child Claudia was apparently asleep At the next station the nursemaid asked him if he would mind keeping an eye on the child as she wanted tc get off to speak to some friends This he promised to do. but when the trait agnin pulled out the nurse did noi reappear. In a few moments then was a terrible jolt, a swaying, i crash and then the train was sta tlonmy. Claudia, who had beei thrown to the floor by the shock, go up and looked nround Craig wa standing holding the boy aloft. Sin came quickly down the aisle towan him. Ban on Ca Harbor Germs In Their Hair?Snak< Suggested as More Hygienic Rat-Catcher.

"Ho didn't even awaken," he re' plied, depositing the child on the seat. "Will you look after him while I go ? to seo what was the matter?" i He returned in a few moments. "No one hurt," he reassured her. ; "We ran Into something. But the i nurse is left behind. She got off to i see some friends and failed to connect That fact and the shock sus' talned from the accident proved too i much for the child's mother. She has - quite collapsed. The diner got a worse Jolt than we did." "Then," she remarked reflectively, I "It wasn't such a misfortune, after - all, that I couldn't go Into the diner." "Claudia," he began Impetuously, i but the entrance of the young matron, looking white and 111, precluded fur I ther explanation. Claudia went to ber assistance and helped her to bed In the stateroom, while Craig devoted himself to the child. In half an hour Claudia returned. "She Is asleep. I told her I?you? we?would look after Bobby." i "I shall need your help. He seems I cross." "I should think he would be. He 1 has had nothing to eat since noon!" "You have been longer than that ' without food," he remarked significantly. ? "And I, too?have been?crosB/'she i admitted. "Shall we take Bobby Into the ? diner?" he asked. > "Yes, thank you, Craig. And?I am sorry." "We will make It past history, dear. I Let us go Into the diner and forget I It all." f He ordered everything tempting on the menu for Claud'a and himself, while Bobby contentedly ate a cereal and milk. i "Will you tell me," demanded Craig, "why you did not dine." ! She smiled archly. I "You thought I was rasung iruui? a broken heart? To be candid, as ' soon as I was aboard I discovered I had left my purse at home. My ticket > and reservation were In my valise. > but I haven't a cent of money. I reach ' my destination In the morning and I had expected to fast until then." 1 "And you wouldn't take even the fruit because I had bought It! If It badn't been for anxiety as to Bobby's fate you wouldn't have relented when the accident occurred." She met his reproachful eyes bravely. "I didn't know you had Bobby," she confessed, "until I had turned tocome to you." The Largest Tree. What is declared to be the largest tree in the world is the famous tule ; tree that stands in the churchyard at . Mitla, Mexico.

GREWSOME CREATURES VERY COMMON, FINDS EXPERT, Many people In the United States art afflicted with a queer disease, according to a statement yesterday by Professoi James M. Munyon. He made the following remarkable and rather grewsomt statement: "Many persons who como and write t< my headquarters ut 63d and Jeffcrsor Sts., Philadelphia, Pa., think they art suffering from a Blmpte stomach trouble when In reality they are the victims ol an entirely different disease?that n| tape worm. These tape worms nro hugt Internal parasites, which locate In tin upper bowel and consume a large percentage of the nutrlmert In undigested food. They sometimes grow to a length of forty to sixty feet. One may have i tape worm for years and never know the cause of his or her 111 health. "Persons who nre suffering from ont of these creatures become nervous, weak and Irritable, and tire at the least exertion. The tape worms rob one of ambition and vitality and strength, but the) are rarely fatal. "The victim of this disease Is apt tc believe that he is suffering from enronh stomach trouble, and doctors for yeari without relief. This Is not the fault ol the physicians he consults, for there h no absolute diagnosis that will tell post tlvely that one Is not a victim of tap< worm. "Tho most common symptom of thh trouble Is an abnormal appetite. Ai times the person Is ravenously hungry and cannot get enough to eat. At othei times the very sight of food Is loathsome There is a gnawing, faint sensation ai tho pit of the stomach, and the vlrtlnr has headaches, fits of dizziness and nnu sea. He cannot sleep at night and oner thinks he is suffering from nervous pros tratlon. "I have a treatment which has hac wonderful success In eliminating thesi great creatures from the system. In tin course of Its regular action In aldlns digestion, and ridding the blood, kldneyi and liver of Impurities It has proven fata to these great worms. If one has a tap* worm, this treatment will, In nine casei out of ten. stupefy and pass It away, bu If not. the treatment Will rebuild tlx run-down person, who Is probnbly sufTer Ing from stomach trouble and a genera anaemic condition.
