Marshall walked out into the street to see
II 1t really could be true that there was
no place where the absurd restriction did
not operate.
In his walk he met a member Of the
company who had "been there before"
81 know what you are looking for said
the 'old hand" slyly, "a whisky and soda!"
Mr.. Marshall nodded. WELL" said the
other. 'Tf you go to that drug store at
the corner of the street and execute a very
emphatic wink while you ask for a cocoa
wine you will get a whisky and soda Of
most excellent quality and dimensions. "
Mr.. Marshall thought at first that a joke
was being played upon him, but 1t was a
hot day. and the thing was worth risking,
and into the drug store he went, where
he followed his friends instructions to the
letter. Almost folding up one side OF his
face in the performance of a wink, he
asked for the cocoa wine and was imme-
diately rewarded for his feat Of eontortlon
with one of the largest whisky and sodas
he had ever tackled. Which just shows
that there must be a good deal of winklng
done by the authorities as well.

DR.. Newell Dwight Hills, pastor Of
Plymouth church, Brooklyn, relates in the
New York Tribune an experience that
shows what strange freaks Of chance some
times happen. DIR, Hills, together with
a number Of other American preachers and
many professors. was attending an educa-
tional conference in Edinburgh. Scotland
There were visitors from all over the world,
AT a banquet given by the Scotehmen to
their guests DR.. Hills found himself seated
next a heavy browed professor Of meta
physics Of one Of the Scotch universities.
Finding that his neighbor was from
New York, the professor began to ask
questions.

Some army officers who were in Cuba
with General Skaters army Of invasion

morning by the local physician that Dea-

another report concerning the deceased. 1t
