THIS Is A PIE STORY
About j. william Allen Scott Bird and
James Willis GIeed.

City Attorney W. A. S. Bird has one
characteristic trait-an inherent fond.
ness for pie, and, as mig ht be guessed
he also has a ire proof digestive ap-
paratus.
This was illustrated day or two ago
on the Kansas City Topeka ''local."
Mr., Bird and Mr.. J. w. Gleed occu-
pied a seat together when the train left
Kansas City, and when the engineer
whistled for Holiday Mr.. Bird began an
Grafton on the excellence of the pies
made by the woman who keeps the
lunch room at the little station. Mr..
Gleed listened until the train stopped at
the depot platform and then said:
ssGet ono of those pies aud | will stand
half the expense"
Mr. Bird left the train and entered the
little restaurant. The train started but
there was no sign of the city attor ney.
Mr. Gleed shouted and his alarm was
answered by Mr.. Bird. who rushed fran
tically from the little building holding
above his head little bundle containin g
the precious ''pie." Mr.. Gleed stood
reached out friendly hand, which Mr..
Bird caught just in time, and he scram-
bled upon the platform.
There" he said, holding out his pur-
chase, "1f that is not the best pie you
ever ate l am willing to be voted no
judge"
Mr.. Gleed carved the inoffensive look
ing "pie" and took a very small piece.
He took one mouthfUl and almost faint
ed. When he recovered he threw the
piece through the car window with all
his force.
Then he made the following address:
"Mr. Bird, you and I can no longer be
friends. A man who calls this good pie
has more nerve than can tolerate in a
friend. That is positively the worst pie
1 ever tasted. The crust is five-sixths
lard, and then it has not been baked.
do not believe that any living man can
eat of that pie and have any peace of
mind for twenty-four hours"
Mr.. Bird made no reply. He simply
settled down in his seat and ate, and in
little while the pie had disappeared, and
Nr. Bird was responsible for it all, with
the exception of a very small piece which
Conductor Short accepted. Then he had
his say.
II tell you," he said, shat pie was all
right. l do not believe in having pie
crust so hard you can't bite it, and tho lard
only helps to make it soft and palatable.
l adhere to my original statement, that
the best pies in the world are to be found
at Holiday"
Mr.. Bird in his hurry had left the
change for the silver dollar he gave to
the restaurant keeper, but he did not
care.

An Effort Being Made to Reinstat@ a Fire
man Who Was Found Drunk
The question of reinstating Harrison
Kennedy, the injured fireman who was
found intoxicated while on duty, was
submitted to the council by the commit
tee on fire department The committee
sustained Fire Marshal WiImarth, but
recommended that Kennedy be given
work in some department of this city,
when possible.
Councilman Fulton thought the action
of the committee was poor promise for
man who can do no hard work and who
is the only support of his family.
Councilman Burgess said that some
provision might be made to give the man
work on the streets, but the committee
did not feel that he should be put back
on duty at the fire department because
new place would have to be created.
A III. Thomas, the colored lawyer, ar
gued IN behalf of Kennedy and said that
he was injured in the discharge of his
duty he should be treated like the other
men were who were injured in the serr
vice and given place.
Councilman Roundiree thought the
question should be referred back to the
committee and this was accordingly done.

and that tho substitute used. called chiffon. 10
not only cheaper. but superior. He describes it
as looking like fine linen and taking the Same
gloss. though made wholly OF cotton.
He writes: " Intending to order shirts some
months ago. asked to have linen shirt fronts.

cans in that way; they are our only customers
who ask for linen bosoms in their shirts

Consul General Judd thinks America should

The United States imports probably a million
