The Bad Boy and the Groceryman Il-
lustrate the Russo-Japanese War
by Exploding the Grocery —
Dad’s Experiment at Raising
Hair on His Bald Head
BT HON GEORGE! W PECK
' (Ex-Governor of Wisconsin formerly pub-
lisher of "Feck's Sun” author of
I "Peck's Bad Boy" etc)
‘ (Copyright 1904 by Joseph B Bowles)
The old groceryman had a war map
spread out on the counter and for an
hour he had stood up In front of It
reading a morning paper with his
thumb on Port Arthur hi3 fingers cov-
ering the positions occupied by the
s Jap and Russian forces in Manchuria
There was a crash in front of the gro-
cery and the old man Jumped behind
a barrel thinking Port Arthur had
been blown up and the Russian fleet
torpedoed
“Hello Matsuma you young mon-
ley" said the old man as the bad boy
burst the door open and rushed in
with a shovel 'at shoulder arms and
came to "present arms” in front of the
old man who came from behind the
barrel and acknowledged the salute
"Say now honest did you put that
chunk of ice in the stove the day you
skipped out last?”
"Sure Mike!” said the boy as he ran
the shovel under the cat that was
sleeping by the stove and tossed her
Into a barrel of dried apples What are
you doing with the map of the seat of
war?”
"Oh I was only trying to figure out
the plan of campaign and find out
where the Japanese would go to when
they are licked” said the old man
“This thing is worrying me I want
to see Russia win and I think our
government ought to send them all the
embalmed beef wo had left from the
war with Spain but if we did you
monkey Japanese would capture it
end have a military funeral over it
and go on eating fish and rice When
this country was in trouble In 1864
the Russians sent a fleet of warships
to New York and notified all Europe
to stand back and look pleasant and
by the great horn spoons I am going
to stand by Russia or bust I would
like to be over there at Port Arthur
and witness an explosion of a torpedo
under something Egad' but I glory In
the smell of gunpowder Now say
- here is Port Ajthur by this barrel of
dried apples and there is Mushapata
by the ax handle barrel see?”
' "Well you and I are Just alike" said
tho boy "Let's have a sham battle
light here la the grocery Get down
that can of powder”
“ ‘Taint against the law is it?" said
the old man as he handed down a tin
cannlster of powder "I want excite-
ment and valuable information but I
' don’t want to unduly excite the neigh-
bors" "Oh don’t worry about the neigh-
bors" said the boy as he poured a
little powder under the ba-rel of dried
npples "Now as you say this is Port
Arthur This chest of Oolong tea rep-
resents a Japanese cruiser outside the
harbor This box of codfish represents
a Russian fort see? and the stove rep-
resents a Russian cruiser This barrel
of ax handles is the Russian army en-
trenched behind the bag of coffee
Now we put a little powder under all
of them and lay a train from one to
the other and now you get out a few
of those giant firecrackers you had left
over from last Fourth of July and a
Roman candle and we can illustrate
the whole business so Alexovitch and
Ito would take to the woods”
The bojt lit the Roman candle got
behind a barrel of potatoes and
WHEN THE FIREWORKS WENT OFF
IN THE GROCERY
turned the sputtering Roman candle
on the giant firecracker under the
stove and when be saw tbe fuse of
the firecracker was lighted he turned
the torch on the powder under the bar-
rel of dried apples and In a second
everything went kiting the barrel of
J dried apples with the cat in it went
IP to the ceiling the stove was blown
Yjer the counter the cheese box and
- Mhe old groceryman went with a crash
lo the back end of the store the front
windows blew out on the sidewalk the
store was full of smoke the old jnan
rushed out the back door with his
Whiskers Binged and yelled "Fire!”
while the bad boy fell out the front
t’oor with his eye winkers gone and
bis hair singed tbe cat got out with no
hair to brag of and before they could
breathe twice the fire department
came clattering up to a hydrant and
soon turned tbe hose inside the gro-
eery There was not very much fire
and afvsr tipping over every bnfrel
pn5 box that had not been blown sky-
bigli tbe firemen gave one last look at ’ the
tbe Inside of the grocery one last
squirt at the burned and singed cat
that had crawled into a bag of eiuna-
tuott on the top shelf and they went
away leaving the doors and windows
open the crowd dispersed and the
bad hoy went in the front door peered
around under the counter pulled the
rork out of a bottle of olive oil and be-
gan to anoint himself -where he had
been scorched Hearing a Bhufilng as
of arcUc overshoes filled with water in
the back shed and a still small voice
SRying “Well I’ll be condemned" he
looked up and saw the red face of the
old groceryman peeking in the back
door
"Have all the forts and War ships j
come down yet?” said the old man
looking up toward the celling holding
up his elbow to ward off any possible
descending barrel or stove lid "I now
realize tbe truth cf Gen Sherman’s re-
mark that war is hell Gorsbl how it
smarts where the skin is burnt off
(live me some of that salad oil’ and
the old man sopped the oil on his lace
and head and the boy rubbed his lips
and ears and they looked at each

HIS HAIR GROW
other and tried to smile two cracked
and wrinkled and scorched smiles
across the counter at each other
"Now you little Japanese monkey I
hope you are satisfied after you have
wrecked my store and fitted me fer
the hospital and I want you to get out
of here and never come back
"Say you are unreasonable ' Do
you think I will go off and leave you
to die here under the counter of blood-
poisoning like a dcrg that has eaten
a loaded sausage? Never! I am going
to nurse you through this thing and
bring you out as good us new 1 know
how you feel towards me Dad felt
the same way towards me down in
Florida the time he got'skun
“What about your dad getting skun
In Florida? I never heard about it"
said the old groceryman as be took a
band mirror and looked at his burned
face
"Why that was when we first got
down there” said the boy looking at
the old man and laughing "Gee! but
you would make a boy laugh if his lips
were chapped You look like a greased
pig at a barbecue Weil when we
struck Florida and dad got! so be
could assimilate high balls and eat
oranges off the trees like a giraf he
raid he wanted to go fishing afid get
tanned up so we hired a boat and
I rowed while dad fished I ast him
uhy he didn't try that new prescrip-
tion to raise hair on his bald head that
I read of in a magazine to go bare-
headed in' the sun He ast me if any-
body ever raised any hair on a bald
head that way and I told him about
Mr Rockefeller who had only one
hair on his head and he played 'golf
bareheaded and in two weeks had to
have his hair cut with a lawn mower
’cause it made his brain ache Dad
I said if Rockafeller could raise hair by
the sunshine method he could and he
threw his straw hat overboard and
began to fish in the sun for fish and
hair Well you’d a dlde to see dad’s
h6ad after the blisters began to raise
First he thought the blisters was hair
bnt when we got back to the hotel and
he looked in a glass he see it wasn’t
hair worth a cent His head and face
looked like one of these hippopota-
muses and dad was mad If I could
have got dad in a side show I could
have made a barrel of money but he
won’t never make a show of hisself
not even to make money he is so
pioud There is more proud flesh on
dad than there is on any man I ever
mused Well dad ast me what was
good for blisters and I told him lime
Juice was the best thing so be sent
me to get some limes They are a
little sour thing like a lemon and I
told him to cut one in two and soak
the juice on his head and face and I
went to supper ’cause dad looked so
disreputable he wouldn’t go to the
dining room When I bought the
limes the man gave me a green per-
simmon and of course dad got the
persimmon instead of the lime' and
when I came back to our room after
supper dad was in bed yelling for a
doctor Say you know how a persim-
mon puckers your mouth up when you
eat it? Well dad ’ had Just sopped
himself with persimmon Juice and
his head was puckered up like the hide
cf ani elephant and his face and
cheeks were diawn around sideways
and wrinkled so I was scart I gave
him a mirror to look at hisself and
when he got one look he said: "Hen-
nery it is all over with you- dad you
might just as well call in a lawyer to
take my measure for a will and an
undertaker to fill me with stuff so I
will keep till they get me home by ex-
press with handles on What was that
you called that fruit I sopped my head
with?” and he groaned like he was at
a revival Well I told him he bad
used -the persimmon Instead of the
lime juice I told him to and that I
would cure him so I got a cane of
dog soap and laundered dad and put
on stuff to take the swelling out and
next day he began to notice things"
REVIVAL IN GOTHAM
NEW YORK BELIEVED TO NEED
RELIGIOUS AWAKENING
MOVEMENT OF CHURCHES
Great City to Be Reminded of Things
Spiritual— Sociologists Labor tor
Better Things — Cosmopolitan
- Character of the Town
EW YORK— From
three directions or
more the revival
spirit is pressing
hard the hosts of
sin in this city
Fresh from the rs-
niarkable meet-
ings in Wales
where rough
miners attended
meetings six
-seven and even
eight hours long
Rev Mr Hartley comforts New York-
ers by stating that they are spirit-
ually in the same class at the Welsh-
men Were Philadelphia where a de-
voted band has been vainly praying
for the conversion of the mayor not
to Christianity only but to decent
citizenship offers help And Schenec-
tady where revivals have been held
rivaling those of Wales in intensity of
interest sends down the highly edu-
cated young woman who ha3 turned
that electric toWtt upside down to try
What she ban do with New York
It would not be strange if a lively
revival were presently in progress
There is material There always has
been Moody and Sankey found hero
one of their best fields The Fulton
street noonday prayer-meetings were
very successful Dr W J Dawson
late of England has been addressing
enthusiastic audiences in the critical
atmosphere of Plymouth church under
the eye of Its eloquent young pastor
Dr Hlllig The Salvation Army Is
celebrating Its silver anniversary with
characteristic Ingenuity spreading out
the meetings over more than a month
And the Broadway Tabernacle for a
quarter of a century or more the
scene of extraordinary revivals has
just been Installed in a great new
home one of the most unique in the
country The most interesting series
Of meetings is arranged in what is
known as “up town” a region exter fl-
ing for five miles north and south
and containing 1000000 people
Tbe Old “Liberty Corner"
WIOB the Tab-
ernacle has been
moved For two
years its most re-
cent home on Her
aid square has
looked out from
lightless windows
upon the heart of
the wicked Tender-
loin just whore
the "Great Whito
Way” of electric-
lighted Broadway
crosses darker and
uglier Sixth avenue The site had
became practically deserted by church-
going people and so valuable that by
its sale the society was able to erect
with the proceeds perhaps the oddest
and certainly the most up-to-date
church in the country The new
Tabernacle has been called the first
"sky-scraper” church It is that and
more A vast auditorium in the cen-
ter of the odd-shaped plot with a
long entrance through the mass of
secular offices connected with It rises
In a picturesquely broken sky-line above
even the neighboring apartment
houses It is five miles from th)
Battery and very near Central park
The elevator apartments are devoted
to the manifold activities of club-
rooms and libraries and class-rooms
and cooking schools that keep every-
body busy about the modern "Institu-
tional church" To have- arranged
these upon the usual scattering plan
of eccleslologlcal structures would
have taken an amount of land that the
society could not buy There is no
reason why the devil should have all
the benefit of the invention of the sky-
scraper any more than that he should
have all the good tunes
So the new "Liberty corner” move3
up town They called the Tabernacle
that in the anti-slavery times Its
people vied with those of Plymouth
church in passionate devotion to the
abolition cause Since the war the
Tabernacle has been devoted to all
reforms and to revivals where more
than the husks of faith have been
sown
The Building of Churches
HE movement -of
church associa-
tions up town has
provided New
York with unusual
opportunities to
develop architect-
ural forms to
clothe the innor
sanctuaries One
of the most no-
ticeable in tbo new
Madison avenue
church erected for Dr Parkhurst
Surely never was odder case of ro-
moval - The chuich has simply
shifted from the southern corner to
the opposite northern corner and to
a precisely similar plot of land in
sire and desirability A church often
moves two miles I never before
knew one to move 100 feet
Tho secret lay in the ambition of
tho Metropolitan Life Insurance com-
pany to fill oat an entire block of
pearly three acres with its huge ten-
story building BegtUbing with or!
fcorner this' mammoth structure hit
flowed like a great white glacier ovei
20 private houses it bss replaced tbe
beautiful old Academy of Art recall-
ing the Doges’ palace at Venice II
has finally bought tbe brown-stone
church with its tall Gothio spire in
which Dr Parkhnrst has long preached
civlo righteousness as well as the
Word And what a contrast is the
new church! Marble Instead of brown
Stone a hags Grecian dome replacol
the spire dud upon tbe same groUrtd
area probably three times the cubic
space is thus Inclosed
I know a church in Brooklyn a
small church unknown to fame that
is moving five miles at one jump It
is in old Willlamsburgh The com-
pletion of the new 820000000 bridge to
that region has brought -eVer from the
East side ghetto lOOOJu Jewish cita-
zens SO muck so that the bridge is
locally known as tbe "Passover" and
it has happened that many of the
church people have removed to Flat-
bush village now a village no longer
which contained until three years ago
the most Interesting group of ancient
colonial houses in America
In a way most interesting of nil
the churdh building Of Now Yofk is
the mighty Cathedral Standing Upon
the highest land on Manhattan Island
it swings one mighty arch clear
against the sky visible for miles
around Nearer one sees that this
massive masonry mounts 150 feet into
the air It is only oneOf the support-
ing arches of the gre'at choir Be-
hind it now stand a semi-circle of
great moddiithic columns outside of
which wm“be‘the" ambulatoi“irthe
finished church Thus the shape of
the eastern apse is already indicated
About this again will’ be grouped
number of chapels a single one of
these is completed looking - as If
wedded to its basic rock so singular-
ly bold is the site of the building
Fifty years have beefi set aside for
the construction its cost no man
knows as prides fehatige Not iess
than 810000000 howeverj but so solid
is it all that the architects can with-
out fear proceed only as fast as the
money comes in
A Novel Professorship
NEW idea In soci-
ology has received
recognition in the
edddwinent in Co-
lumbia university
of a professorship
'Jacob H Schlff
gives the 100000
endowment Ed-
ward T DoVine is
the new professor
- Both are typical
examples of New York’s mingled popu-
lation Mr Schlff is the active mem-
ber of Kuhn 1 Loeb & Co the great
Jewish house which has practically
succeeded J P Morgan the Con-
necticut Yankee as the leading bond
dealer in the city DeVine is young
dark agile an Iowan a fellow of
Pennsylvania university and a gradu-
ate of tbe German university of Halle
He Is the secretary of the Charities
Organization society and the editor of
Charities These activities he will
as far as possible retain and guide
DeVine is the best authority in the
city upon problems of poverty and re-
lief Next to him comes Robert Hunt-
er author of the book entitled "Pov-
erty” which has consumed so much
research Hunter is a Hoosler a grad-
uate of an Indiana college and first
studied social problems in Indiana and
in Chicago The Hoosler and the Iowa
man both well under 40 tell New
York what is the matter with its
other half” And the Hebrews Spey-
er and Schiff provide most lavishly
for the study of the remedies
New York the Mixture
HERE are no New
Yorkers if you
count out the peo-
ple who have "come
from tomewheri”
It was only yester-
day it would
seem since the
Greeks began
coming Now
their ‘ leading
newspaper the
Atlantis has be-
come a daily and
only tbe other day
the editor of a Greek weekly thraBhed
his reporter and got into the police
court all because of a quarrel over a
"news beat”
There is a Japanese paper Japan
in America to exchange courtesies
with the Amerikansky Russky Vlest-
nik The French and German dailies
are of long standing and of the lat-
ter tongue there are now even provin-
cll papers devoted to former Suablans
Saxons Hessians - There are seven
Spanish papers and only five Italian
though the Italians are so much more
numerous and there are already 11
Yiddish publications The Bohemians
have two daily papers but the Arabian
"Alayan” has not yet evolved beyond
the ' semi-weekly stage Magyar Slo-
vak and Hungarian and Scandinavian
papers season the mess still further
Altogether there are dailies in ten lan-
guages and weeklies -in perhaps as
many more
All these papers find a portion of
their circulation in the great student
bodlss of the metropolis It is a con-
siderable help in studying Greek to
be able to read every day of the do- J
ings of “Roosebelt" in Washington '
and of "Mpalfour” and his cabinet in
England Except for its surprising
efforts to represent Yankee words in
Greek letters the language of the "At-
lantis” presents no difficulties to stu-
dents of Xenophon - - -

next objective of the war'
tok la strengthened by thei Associa-
ted press dispatch from Cunshu pass
announcing the withdrawal of the Jap-
anese from the immediate front of the
Russian army for a distance of 35 miles
south It is realized of course that
this may be merely a blind to cover
flanking operations but it is not im-
probable that the Japanese having
cleared southern Manchuria of Russian
troops and secured a position from
whence expulsion would be a long and
difficult process may be satisfied to
hold the Tie pass line without further
extension of communication

visers is for peace if honorable terms

Japan and tho United
Slates
London March 28— Tho Daily Tel-
egraph this morning editorially returns
to the sublect of peace negotiations
and if the common interests ot Great
Britain Japan and the United States
In the far cast The newspaper thinks
that though such a triple alliance is
eminently desirable the Monroe Doc-
trine would prevent America from al-
lying herself with Japan but that an
for as Great Britain and Japan are con-
cerned there is nothing to prevent a
permanent offensive and defensive al-
liance which the Dally Telegraph con-
tends might even Induce Japan to fore-
go indemnity and which by placing at
Great Britain’s disposal in India the
service of Japan's fine troops would
forever remove the apprehensions of
Russian invasion of India Tbe Daily
Telegraph further says that such a
treaty which would date from the con-
clusion of peace would with the moral
support of the United States behind it
be a guarantee of the preservation of
peace in the far east the open door
in China and the developement of
trade for all nations in the Orient
Russia herself the article says would
reap advantages in her enormous em-
pire which only requires exploration
and development
