CHILD OF A PROBLEM Susie Morei Who Stole Teacher's Apple, Bothers Scientists. HER CASE STUDIED Child Is Subjected to All the UTew-Fangled Experiments. Orexel Boalevard Family Seeks pom-fort from Experimental Depart- meat of Board of Kdaeatlea. Susie More, aged 8, who Uvea la Drexel boulevard, has achlered the distinction of being the first little girl to be examined by the ergograph, the stadlomcter, the dma- momcter, the audiometer, and the re-remainder of the apparatus -with which the experimental branch of the child-study department of the public schools Is equipped. Susie Is now what the department calls a "problem child." Sbo has been subjected to all the tests known to science.

She has her name on a big book, and she Is referred to as a "subject." Before Sasle could attain to this distinction she had to be declared an' Incorrigible pupil. She added 'to a list of minor misdemeanors a capital offense. She stole her teacher's apple and ate It In secrecy. She was detected with the cere In her band and two of the seeds stuck on her MR. FRED W.

eyelids. The seeds were named, and she was trying to find out which liked her the better, Johnny Jones or Jimmy Smith. The apple was large and red and It had been brought to the morning session by Jimmy Smith's sister. The teacher put the apple on the big desk on the platform, and It made the mouths of forty children water until the recess hour. Then it disappeared, and shortly afterward Susie was found enjoying the proceeds of her theft.

Her teacher sent her to the principal, and the principal sent her to her Drexel boulevard home with a note that shocked her mother. Susie More by the wsy, her right name is suppressed, for obvious reasons is In the third grade of a South Side school, the one nearest her home, which is between Fortieth and Fiftieth streets. On various occasions she has exhibited signs of Juvenile depravtty tr.at were not compatible with theories of education. First she told dreadful fibs. When her teacher asked her whether she was whispering, she said "No'm," and looked like a little cherub, although her reply should have been "Yes'm." Sasle Made Paper Dolls.

She ahowed a dangerous tendency In the making of paper dolls when she should have tren paying attention to her nature studies. Instead of learning how many stomachs the patient cow has, she converted a page of her copybook Into a long, thin lady with big feet and marked the Image "Teacher." For ti ls offense she was sent home with a note. She lost the note, somehow, between the scbool and her home, and explained her rather premature appearance on the ground that she had been such a good child that she had been "let out" early. Onco she borrowed a nickel from her mother's pocketbook without notifying the owner of the purse, and Invested In five all-day-suckers, which she distributed among her chums. Susie's misdemeanors were many.

They have been the cause of much anxiety to her mother, because Susie Is an adopted child, and Mrs. More, who belongs to a lot of woman'o clubs, I always watching for. evidence of an unfortunate heredity. Lately she has been looking Into the subject of atavtss and this fact lei her to listen kindly to the principal's suggestion thst something heroic ought to be done. Susie's mother consulted with Susie's tearher and Susie's principal, and it waa decided, after long consultation, that the child should be taken to the experimental office of the child-study department.

It was thus Susie became a "problem child." The experiments for the child-study department of the public schools are conducted In rooms on the thirteenth floor of the Schiller building. To this place Susie was taken last Saturday by her mother and her foster aunt. Susie was in a docile mood, for she bad been sorely punished for her heinous crime connected with the apple. Eve, after the similar epieode, could not have felt worse than did Susie as she was led Into the presence of Fred W. Smedley, who has charge of the experiments, and his four assistants.

Mrs. More was too much overcome by the gravity of the occasion to exercise any presence of mind, eo she sank into the nearest chair. Dr. McMillan, a man of kindly manners, helped Susie take oS her wraps. Then he conducted her to the stadiometer, where oer height was measured.

She waa measured with spring-heeled shoes and without them. Then her net height was Jotted down In a big book. "Height. 1.054 millimeters," solemnly re- peatea r. smeaiey.

Smedley said, "Good." and gave a reassuring glance through his spectacles.

He bound Susie's forearm to a rest, leaving the middle finger frte. A clamp was fastened to the first Joint, attaching It to an Indicator. A tape was run over a pulley and attached to a weight equaling 7 per cent of the weight of the child.1. i are you doing nowT" Inquired' Mrs. More.

"Are you trying to find out whether the motion of the muscles when Susie graaptd the stolen aDnle was involuntary?" "This Is the ergograph." said Mr. Smedley reatsuringly.

Tee whole experimental staff of the department of child study read over the record and Mr. Smedley looked at Susie's aunt and Susie's mother as If he supposed they uni derstocd the figures. They did not like to show their Ignorance, so they waited for tea awful moments while a solemn consults tlon was held. "We've found out that the child Is a mouth breather," announced one of the assistants, "But that Is a fault that can be remedied." that a mental or a moral defect asked the anxious mother.

"Has the fibbing habit anything to do with the trouble Is it a very dangt-rous symptom to be a mouth breatherT" "Quiet your fears, said one of the scientists. "Her mode of breathing merely Indicates that she has a cold in her Mrs. More dropped back In her chair. "I want to to home," said the "problem child," who had submitted to all the measurements and the tests without a murmur. "I ain going to be a good little girl, and It's no use bothering about me." "What studies does Susie excel lnT" Inquired Mr.

Smedley. EMEDLET. "Before I give my opinion on this ease I wish to obtain a few more data." "She's only 8 years old, you know," said the foster aunt, apologetically. "She adds and subtracts equally she an aversion to any branch taught in schooir "Yes. she bates singing," the aunt admitted.

"Weak In singing. Cannot remember a tuoe," wrote down the careful recorder in his big book. "That bad." said one of the assistants, shaking his head. The five mea then withdrew to discuss the ease. In a half hour the verdict waa announced gravely: "We find thst Susie's More's impulse in eating her teacher's apple was prompted by an unbridled appetite for fruit and not to any mental or moral defect.

Her physical endurance is only S.9S9. much below the average for a girl years old. It is. therefore, reasonable to suppose that she would not show fatigue half so quickly as she does at preeent If she was 'allowed to eat between meals. We find that the subject was satisfying a normal and natural appetite Wben sho took the spple from the teacher' desk and subsequently ate said apple.

Her tendency to tell lies is doubtless due to whst may be called a universal heredity. We flni that It Is a prevalent mental disease not confined to the young. No evidence of a -special heredity lex apparent. This report should be taken to the principal and to the teacher, and It should be their duty to deal wisely with the pupil." The "problem child" was taken home. She will have all the apples she can eat.

and her foster mother has the most sanguine hope that the child will live down her dreadful past. ART WELLS. BERTHA WHITS. -1 THE SUNDAY ENTllil OCI1AI, NOV-GMEIt 25, 1000. DALY'S BROTHER POOR Relative of the Copper King la Living in Abject Poverty.

Nov. 10. While thousands of tongues are telling of the big fortune Marcus Daly, the copper king of Montana, carved out for himself, there Is up in the hamlet of Lacona, Oswego county, a brother of the dead millionaire. As one approaches Lacona from the south, looking for a railway car a little Gothic structure cstches the eye. One thousand five hundred dollars would, perhaps, covsr IU total value.

It Is of this church the Rev. Daniel Is the rector. It is the Immanuel Episcopal church. The Rev. Daniel Daly is the brother of Marcus Daly, whose wonderful accumulation of wealth and his unprecedented feud against William A.

Clark will be remembered for many years as the greatest political fight ever known In this country. While Marcus Daly was distributing with a free hand millions of dollars In his contests with Clark, his brother lived In poverty here In Lacona. Those who know Marcus Daly say his heart was big, and they declare that bad he known of the brother's circumstances he would have left something with which to make the minister's last days comfortable. Be that as it may, the Rev. Daniel Daly says he has no word of censure because his wealthy brother did not remember him In his will, asserting that a man In bis profession should not think of such things.

Inhabitants of the hamlet do not hesitate to say that Mr. Daly would have attended his brother's funeral in New York if he had had the money with which to pay the expenses of the Old Fead la Irotaad. Little ever could be learned in Montana of Marcus Daly's ancestry. Back in Ireland 150 or more years ago a desperate feud arose In the Daly family, which has been handed down from generation to generation without abatement. It split the Dalys into three factions bitter, unrelenting, and interminable.

In those days there were three Daly brothers in the County of Meoth. town of Arth-boy, Ireland. Two brothers were Episcopalians and on a Catholic. Each was to come into possessions from the father of a town share of land consisting of COO acres. For years the Church of England had flourished In Ireland.

At that time, however, Catholicism had obtained the ascendancy, and It was no more tolerant than Protestantism had been. Through tho Influence of the I liesta and others la7 power, the whole 1,800 acres were awarded to the Deiy who was a Catholic. The families wtre af that time known as the Dalys of the Lochroon, or lakehouse. from the fact that on that particular 600 acres there was a manor-house standing beside a Another branch was the Dalys of Blackwater brook, so called because their lands lay along the banks of Blackwater river, while the third branch was known as the mountain poles, from the fact that in the center of that 400 acres stood a high pile on a hllL One of the disinherited brothers, Luther, went Immediately after the quarrel to Holland, and that branch of the Dalys soon afterward came to America and settled in Connecticut. Story of (ho Mlalster.

Tho Dalys had been the most important family la the eastern part of Ireland from th old feudal days to the time of the quarrel. The Rev. Daniel Daly of Lacona tells th story In his own way as follows: "Our branch of the family descended from the brother whose name 'was Luke. We came to Canada when Patrick, my oldest liv ing brother, who is eight years older than Marcus, was Is years old. We located for a short time near Toronto, but went afterward to live In Grey county.

In the western end of Canada. Patrick received a good education, but Marcus had only a little learning. A still older brother was Luke, who practiced medicine around Toronto and went, before I was old enough to remember much about him. to Herkimer, this state, where he practiced his profession until he died. "My father, whose camel bear, died thirty-two years ago.

He was a lay reader In the Episcopal church In Ireland and an Inspector of schools for the County Meath. He was a graduate of Trinity college. Dublin. After he came to Canada he was urged to become a rector, but be never did. My mother died about eight years ago, near Belleville.

Canada, at the age of 97 years. Her Christian name was Margaret, and I am of the opinion that Marcus Dsly's favorite daughter, Margaret, was-named for her. i "Marcus and Patrick were always on the sunny side of the hedge," Is the homely way In which the dominie referred to the pros perity of his brothers, for he says that Pat- I rick Daly, the brother to whom Marcus left I EVANSTON JESSIES WHIT.

Patrlelc Meaey-Malcer. Before he' was. Jl "years old." Mr. Daly aid, "Patrick had got together what was thought to be a fortune in those days, about 110,000. He was a merchant In a little Canadian village.

He conceived the Idea of going West, and did so, and soon afterward got into the mines. I believe it was he who got Marous Into the mining business. Marcus, however, left home some time later, when he was about 14 years old. He told me that he mould go to Columbus, Ohio, and that he would write me from there. I did not hear from him and wrote' long afterward, bu never heard from the letter.

I think letters were not returned in those days as they are now. I bear ha went to St. Louis, but whether he ever went to either city I do not know. Dalys are a queer family; they scattered and never have had much communication with one another. We never kept np a correspondence with my brother, tho doctor, who died in Herkimor.i went to live in tho northern part of Hastings county.

Nevertheless, he never visited her, although a son of his. William, I think, called on her once. William said his father sent blm to see how she was getting on.

"After a time we came to look upon Marcus as dead. Once when I learned that a Marcus Daly bad become prominent aa a copper miner I wrote to him at Helena, but never received a reply and suppose that, as he did not live there, the letter was never delivered. Again, and not long ago, I wrote to his daughter, Margaret Daly, in New York, but she was in London, and I presume the letter went astray. Maroas Daly Hover Visited Blm. "Through a man from Pierrepont Manor, who has lived in Butto and worked in my brother's mines, we sent massages to each other during the last few years.

A year ago last summer this man told my brother that I was living snd he said he was then going to Europe, but on his way baok would stop snd see me. Ho inquired particularly as to how to get here, and when told that Lacona was one station from Richland he said that he remembered that place, as he had passed through there once on hi special car. And this was the sum and substance of our communication with each, other." Mr Daly said that wLen he read that hit brother was dangerously ill he did not write to him because he thought he would recover, for the family is gifted with robust constitutions and long lives. He said he was greatly pleased when he learned that Marcus Daly had bought a bouse la New York and that his family Intended to make that city their home. He was delighted because hi thought it would end "that abominable political fight" waged so strongly for so many years.

"Then you do not feel aggrieved at not being mentioned la your brother's will was susseated. "Why. not at an." was the reply with a smile. "I care far more mat we are aoi aoie to meet once more. He promised to call on me on bis return from Europe." Tears welled no in the old man's eyes and he added: An he never came back.

Rather he came back a very sick man. only to take to his bed. where, after a long. characteristic Daly fight, tho poor boy died, and I shall never see him again on this side of the grave." Looks Like His Brother. This Is ths story that the Rev.

Daniel Daly tells. There is a brotherly resemblance be tween Marcus Daly the Rev. Daniel Daly, snd the latter ssys that as boys they looked enough alike, to be twins. Marcus was mnch the larger for his age. so that the four years' disparity la their ages made little ainerence in tnelr appearance.

Tho Rev. Daniel Daly Is highly esteemed by his little handful of people, and the dwell ers of the hamlet respect htm. and be is familiarly known as "Father" Daly. When It was suggested, to him that an annuity of $600 to $1,000 would gd a long ways to soften the sorrows of his declining years, his wife having died a number of years ago and nis two children having grown up and left him. he remarked resignedly: of our calling have no right to think of such worldly matters, my boy.

Tho trees, of which there are over 3.000. are set in rows exactly as fruit trees are In an orchard, and Mr. Warner gives them as much or more attention as do the owners of fruit trees.

The original saplings or sprouts were culled from a wide area of chestnut thicket, trimmed into shape, then grafted with the American sweet chestnut, a native nut -of Pennsylvania. The result has been marvelous.

This makes the tenth time within ten years that Apache Kid has been reported killed, and old plainsmen smile significantly as each new version of the passing of the border terror is made public George Hlckey of St.

He was born in Germany and educated for a metallurgist. He came to America and prospected for twelve yesrs through tho Apache country.

He is still a young' man, though an occasional gray hair betrays his adventurous life. During his sojourn in the West, ho made the acquaintance of Apache Kid, and once had an experience with him that overtops the romancing of writers of wild Western tales. "I can't believe Apache Kid dead." said Hlckey. "He wasn't built for dying like a rat in his hole.
