A FIRM FOUNDATION
LOU LOST HIS HAT
AND ALSO THIEF
Deputy Sheriff Goes to San Fran
cisco for Robber and Has
Experience.
San Francisco.—Lou McKelly, depu
ty sheriff at Kelcyvllle, Lake county,
came to San Fra-icisco to have the po
lice here help him find some cracks
men who robbed the post office there.
McKelly wore a big broad-brimmed
white hat with a rattlesnake skin for
a band. It is a hat he was proud of.
Said he to Detective George Hippeley:
“I have shown some of you fellows
how to hunt for big game up there in
the summer time. Now you show me
about your hunting down here."
Then they went to dinner In a fash
ionable cafe. McKelly hung up his
rattlesnake skin hat. They sat down
i I. I ■ • l . i. <
“I Would Like to Have That Hat’1
and ate turkey, while McKelly ex
plained about the way the cracksmen
did the job in Kelcyville.
When they had finished McKelly's
big rattlesnake hat was gone. There
was a row, but it was no use. The
best that Hippeley could find out was
that a woman at the next table had
been heard to remark:
“I would like to have that hat over
there to decorate John’s den.”
McKelly bought a brand new hat,
called a “beanny,” and went back to
Kelcyville without the cracksmen.
Poor Widow Gives Mite.
They were only four sacks, washed
and pieced together by patient fingers
and then fashioned into undergar
ments. Around the neck of each was
a crocheted edge made from the
string with which the sacks had been
sewed. A poorly dressed woman
brought them into the department of
refuge clothing of the Red Cross as
her “widow’s mite.”
“It isn’t much,” she said, as she un
did the bundle, “but it is all I had, and
I hope it will be of use to some Bel
gian woman who may have less than
I have."
Artificial Rubber.
Artificial rubber has been made In
an experimental way for many years,
but it is now reported that it has be
come a practical success, and that the
great dye and color works at Elber
feld, Germany, are erecting a large
factory for the production of synthetic
rubber on a large scale, principally in
tended to supply Germany with this
product In future years, when great
difficulties are anticipated In obtain
ing natural rubber, like other raw
materials, from the tropics.
RIGHTS AS “FREE CITIZEN”
Russian Workman Who Believed He
Owned a Part of the Street Car
Track.
While walking along the Nevsky
Prospect In Petrogrnd one morning
we saw a line of street cars that had
evidently been blocked; In front of the
foremost car was a crowd of people,
says a writer In Russia. As we en
tered the crowd we saw a man stand
ing on the track and arguing with the
motorman. The motorman was plead
ing with him to get off the track so
that he could proceed with his car,
and the man was maintaining that
Russia was a free country, that he
had Just as much right on the track
as the car had, and that he did not
intend to move until he was person
ally Inclined to do so.
A number of soldiers looked on, but
no one attempted to remove the man
from the track, and neither the motor
man nor the conductor attempted to
move the car, but resorted solely to
moral suasion. The argument that
finally induced the man to move was
to the effect that the motorman wus
a hard-working man and bad to get
to the car barn; the longer he was
held there the longer It would take
him to get through his work, and
would not his brother workman please
get off the track so that he could get
the car to the barn? With that the
“free citizen” politely bowed, folded
his arms and moved off the track, the
r'owd dispersed and the cars went on '
tlielr way. j
SILLY TO HIDE ADMIRATION
Writer Makes Point When He De
plores What He Asserts Is Lin
guistic Camouflage.
‘The only crlticsm I would make of
you Is that your heart is so big it some
times overrules your judgment.” This
is a remark that is often heard. What
does it mean? As a rule it Is not in
tended as a criticism at all, but rather
as a compliment. Why not, then, have
done with linguistic camouflage? Why
hide our admiration for a friend under
a doubtful phrase that might l^ave a
sting? Since at heart we are all sen
timental, and sjince we copslder a good
heart of more real value than ^he
head, both to Its possessor and to his
friends, why not say so plainly? How
delicate we are, after all 1 Or is it
that most of us have been dishonest so
long that even in our happiest con
versations we unconsciously resort to
diplomatic expressions?—Los Angeles
Times.
Nation Stands Alone In the World,
Seemingly With No One to Mourn
for Her.
One cannot help wondering what
could have been the emotions of the
German agents In Spain when they
read the dispatch sent by King Alfon
so to President Poincare. Those
agents have worked hard through all
these years of the war and spent money
lavishly to make and keep Spain the
friend of Germany. They can claim
with some show of truth to have kept
her neutral, but now, In the day of
Germany's humiliation, she gets no
sympathy from the Spanish king. In
stead, he telegrnphs to the French
president enthusiastic congratulations
on the victory of the allies, and calls
the result achieved the reaching of
“the end of this glorious epic of the
French army and nation, which have
shown us all,” he adds, “what bravery
and patriotism menn.”
Alfonso says "us all,” and no Span
iard protests, so they must join not
only In the king’s felicitation of Ger
many’s enemy but also in the Implied
denial that Germany has shown any
body what bravery and patriotism
mean.
Another failure, therefore, must be
scored against German diplomacy and
propaganda. Is It the hundredth or
the thousandth?—New York Times.
