A Dress Suit Quandary.
Cphiladelphia Fnouirer:9

No, l am not going out in the even

informal affairs remarked friend of
the Saunterer the other day. Why?
Well, because just now l am not the
possessor of a dress suit and lack the
wherewithal to purchase another. 1t

good fellow, who came to me one night
and asked me if I wouldn't lend him

told him l wanted the clothes back the
next week. as 1 had function to at
tend myself.
well, to make a long story short, the
week went by and not a word from my
friend or not a sign of my evening
dads. 1 had to miss my date, and was
pretty mad, but I didn't say anything.
Another week went by, and still no
word. Then / decided to go out and
hunt up my friend and find out if he
intended to keep my clothes forever.
q called at his boarding house and
rang the bell. His landlady came to the
door, When asked if my friend was
in she gave me gasp of astonishment
and exclaimed: Why, didn't you know
he was dead and buried2
1T was my turn to be knocked out
After I recovered my breath I explained
that 1 had not heard the news, and
had merely called to take back my
dress suit. It would doubtless be found
among my friends effects, 1 explained

All of these demonstrations are ex-

tional races with the French are be-
ing held frequently. A few days ago.

Horseless cabs have not as YET
proved a success in conservative Lon
don. and the project is temporarily
abandoned. ostensibly by the lack OF
drivers to operate them. The company
had a hard time of it, and their opera
tives suffered many indignlties from
the ubiquitous hanson and 'growler"
cabbies, of whom there are more than
1900 in London Many of the horse
less drivers gave up their POSITIONS,
some of them to take private situations
as automobile drivers, and the manage
1nent has not as yet been able, they
saw. to find capable substitutes. A
deener reason than all is the evident
aversion of the shilling paying public
to riding in thesugly, noisy and vibrat-
ing motor cab as turned out by British
shops at present. Its lines must nota-
bly, improve before public popularity
is gained.
Progressive Englishmen who are low
ers of clean streets and happy horses,
are awaiting the day when horselesS

Waiting In Washington.

While New York is getting ready,
Washington is waiting with Impotence.
AT the Metropolitan club, where naval
and military men most do congregate,
Dewey's name is on every lip.
There is a verse in Rudyard Kip
ling's ballad of ''Fultah Fishers Board
ing House. which might be adapted to
the occasion so that it would read:
They told their tale of right and wrong,
OF bravely unwrought fraud.
They backed their toughest statements
with
The birthstone of the Lord.
And cracking oaths went to and fro
Across the fist-banged board.
This revised edition of Kipling's verse
exciting situation at the Metropolitan
club.
Here are some of the tales:
One time, when Dewey was young
lieutenant, he sailed under an eccen-
trio captain. The ship put in at Rio de
Janeiro when the commander was
much worried about the health of a pet
parrot He asked the ships doctor to
prescribe. and the latter expressed the
opinion that all the bird needed was a
chance to climb INTO a green tree on
shore, chew bark and desport itself Sc
the captain summoned his steward and
babe him take the parrot ashore and
give it some exercise.
The captains steward was an impor-
| tant person then. This one was a con-
ceited old darkey, who aped absurdly
the authoritative ways of his master
and the men were always on the look
out for a chance to play him some
trick When he stepped to the port
gangway to get into the liberty boat
with the cage containing the bird en-
closed in an old ammunition bag. the
DULLES saw their opportunity. There
was sea running in the harbor which
made it difficult for the boat to keep
alongside, and just as the steward put
out foot toward the gunwale, they
purposely leased her off," so that he
tumbled into the sea. He was pulled
out in a minute, but the parrot and
cage went to the bottom.
The steward was distressed. He
dreaded punishment by the captain
who had said that he would hold him
responsible for the safety of the bird
Having shore leave for three days he
spent that time wandering about the
city and figuring to himself how he
would put in the balance of the voyage
in the ships brig. on bread and water
double-ironed, and exposed to the de-
rision of the crew. At length, how
ever, he was struck with a brilliant

idea. Rioawas full of parrots, and one
parrot is much like another-especially
green ones. He bought, for the equiv
alent of rs cents. a green bird with a
yellow head. which looked to him like
the twin brother of the one drowned.
He was also lucky enough to find cage
like the lost one. and in it he took his
precious purchase back to the frigate.
Now. as Dewey tells the story, the
captain was delighted to see his pet
once more, and especially TO see how
much its plumage was improved and
how much more sprightly it had be-
come. But his astonishment may be
imagined when, being asked whether it
would like a cracker, the bird responded
with a string Of Portuguese eaths. Be-
ing fed, it expressed it's satisfaction
with lot of swear words in Spanish.
and this so amazed the commander that
he felt obliged to share his feelings
with somebody. Dewey, who had been
walking the quarterback. was sum
moHed to the cabin, and the parrot was
persuaded to ''cuss' some more for his
benefit
