PILGRIMS IN INDIA. They Travel Packed In Trains Like Sardines In a Box. Of course pilgrims In India usually travel third class, and the best of Buch accommodations makes no provision for comfort Most of the carriages are divided into small cubicles, with long, narrow wooden benches running along the two sides. There Is no convenience of any kind, and the travelers are packed Into the compartment like so many sardlues In a tin. On festive occasions, when Hindus Journey by the hundred thousand to the sacred spots. It Is a sight worth traveling many miles to see a pilgrim train hound for some shrine on the Gauges. When It sto|^ at a wayside station scores of Intending passengers try to force their way into the already closely packed third class carriages by battering down the locked doors or , even endeavoring to crawl through the windows over the iieads and shoulders of the occupants. The police use their batons freely to drive the invaders j away, but usually a few manage to evade the constables and secure a foot hold on the train Sometimes the authorities are com pel led to carry passengers in open trucks They plant themselves In the bottom of these cars and remain there, exposed to the Inclemencies of the weather, for ten. twenty, thirty, forty hours at a sti^eteb. one treading on the toes of the other?fretful babies cry ing. men and women grumbling? until the end of the Journey is reached. - Wide World Mntr'-'ine Education and Suicide.

QUAD Copy right, UIS. by AMUOlutvd JLtt* v i?ry Pr*?? Her mother named her Cynthlu when she wjis < 1 1 rwvf days old mid wuid she bu|H>d ? In* little* darling wouldn't grow up I ?? lull In love nnd become a wife and mot lu r . , Tll?' M.I fit* darling didn't. When *ho wiih a year old she hadn't smiled yet. When the doctor wun ap pealed lo as to what ailed her he re plied; "Her uume gave her a shock und soured her disposition," "Hut win she die young ?" was asked. "Not' by a Jugful: She la cut out for un old maid, and she will Mvo an long us there l* anything (hat she cnu med dle with and stir up trouble " She had got to he thirty five years old when an event happened. IJp to thla time they had heen lucidents and occurrences. Thin wuh an event to he Hpelled with a hlg "K." Little Mrs. Lurkins wan the hrlde of a year, She had married a nice young man. and the home was a happy one. One tiny the husband auswered her In an Impatient way. and koou after he had gone to business Cynthia dr??pped in to find the wife In tears. The old maid licked her chops. Here wuh a bouquet of goaHlp for her. What wus the matter? * "It's ? it'* Henry!" "Ah hu! | ?ald so when you were married. What's he done?" I wanted Jijj*t a cord of hooks and eyes, and he said he couldn't be both ered with such trifles." "Well, that's the lieginning of the end In six months there will b*? a separation/' "Oh. dou't say that. Henry was bothered about something and gave me an Impatient answer. Maybe he will even bring the hooks and eyes when he comes.'* "Lucy Larklns, prepare yourself and don't be deceived! 1 can't stop longer today, but I will come In tomorrow aud tell you what you must do. Unless you wnut to lose your husband, this thing must be nipped In the ?bud." "Why. Cynthia, how you frighten me!" exclaimed the wife. Mr. Larklns had loaned a sum of money to bu repaid at a certain date. When the date arrived the money was not forthcoming Therefore he was upset. If Mr. Lurkins I tn <1 owned up about the money the skies would have clear ed in five minutes, if Mrs. I.arkins had mentioned that the old maid was seeking to make trouble there would have been an explanation. As It was. when Cynthia called next day she. found a victim ready for her ? "Did he bring the hooks and eyes?" she asked. . "N-no."' "Good! We will now proceed to show that young man a few things to open his eyes. We will let him under stand that If he Is tired of you you are ditto." "But 1 can't believe he is tired of me." was protested. There was plain talk on the one side and tears and sobs ou the other, and at length the wife was won over. au(J the old ma Id left the house saying: "Remember that iS you dunk out you will lo?e Henry. All you have to do Is to keep quiet till 1 give the word." Just about that hour the money that Mr. Larklns was anxious about was paid over, and he came home an hour ahead of time to tell the good news and make his apologies. "Oh, Lucy, dear!" be called as he entered the house. No Lucy dear. Then cume the uote left for him prop ped up a pa Inst the clock. "1 have discovered that you no long er love me. and you will never see me again!" It read. Mr. Larklns jumped two feet high. His heart choked him. His knees wab bled. The room whirled round nnd round with him. In a minute more he was out of the house oalllng on alarm: "Lucy has committed suicide! Come on to the river!" The river was nt Its lowest stage,, and a child could have crossed it. Lucy's bedraggled body was not to be seen. There was a mud turtle or two sailing,!!!* or down, but no Lucj. There were orchards ami grffjes. und all night long men were searvfeltic. They found no truce of the ' mlssfmr wife, and the next day the ground was covered again with even more care. The result was the same. As night came down for the second time a score of men gathered at the Larklns home to sympathize, condole and plan anew. Henry Larklns was In tears and the others on the verge when In walked Lucy. She had come downstairs from the garret, where she hnd been In hiding In compliance with i Miss Cynthia's orders. She bad agreed to stay up there at least three days, bnt couldn't wtatid tlie strain. Her story was told, explanations made, and after a time of rejoicing Squire Miller rapped for order and said: "Gentlemen, this meeting haa a pleas ant duty to perform. Let ok perform It." Twenty men filed out and down the Street and stopped at the house where the old maid made her >ome. She squealed and kicked and scratched, but she was borne to the river and ducked till she did not get her breath before hluti noon next day. \o arrests; no suit* for .lainacex She felt that she I d ??-t-r* rd tin- ilu** Baruch-Nettles Co. "The Store That Sets the Pace" W HEN young men realize the importance of getting quality as well as styles in clothes we'll sell more Hart Schaffner & Marx clothes than ever before in our history. Young men are so keen for smart style, that they're very likely to have a lot of cheap quality "put-over" on them; stuff that looks good just long enough to sell. But if style is important the quality that keeps it in shape is just as important; the quality of fabrics and of tailoring is the basis of which style rests. Just remember that; and don't ? forget that Hart Schaffner & Marx clothes, the smartest styles made, have back of the style the highest quality of all-wool fab rics and the best tailoring in the world. Suits for fall; overcoats for fall; at $18 and up. At $25 we'll show you some of the greatest values ever seen. Baruch-Nettles Co. "The Store That Sets the Pace"
