Legislature has just failed to pass a bill
requiring police authorities to honor
such requests from acquitted persons.
The court holds that the retention of
the rights of privacy, and that their
removal might cripple the police in

Is putting things the wrong way to say
that he can do this because he is

lived much in the open air. He was
frail and delicate as a boy and it was

the rugged health that has enabled him
to exemplify SO well his theories of the
strenuous life. Happy the man who
can be much in the open air.

Paris Aug 3-"Bibi-la- Puree"-"Bib i-always

acter whose songs and escapades will long be
remembered by students of the Latin Quarter,
as well as by frequenters of Montmartre. "Bibi-
la-Puree'' died. last week at the Charity Hos
pital of the Hotel Dieu from the effects of ex-
cessive drinking For thirty years this ragged
weird bird of night had amused the youths of
the University Of Paris. He possessed fairly
good education and could burst forth into clas-
steal quotation at once timely and sarcastic
His real name was Andre Sails. but where he
came from no one knew. He is supposed to
have been the natural son of a student now in
holy orders, who allowed him a quarterly sti-
pend of two hundred francs, which was just
enough to keep him out of the gutter He used
to wear summer clothes in winter and winter
clothes in summer He had been befriended in
bygone days by Verlaine. The poet of the
"Fetes Galantes" bequeathed to 'Bibi-la-Puree"
all his clothes, which the rambling night bird
wore until they fell into shreds One day Bib
was kneeling before smart young professional
beauty in the Luxembourg Garden-he was not
Offering his heart. but merely polishing the
lady's shoes.
What swell shirt you have got on Bibi."
remarked the pretty Parisienne.
"oh. yes! It belonged to Verlaine. whom I
have often saved from dying of thirst. He left
it to me in his WILL and I shall wear 1t as long
as live" was Btbis characteristic reply.
One day Bib was arrested and summoned
before the police magistrate for drunkenness
and riotous conduct.
What is your profession?" asked the judge
81 a gentleman of leisure living upon the
revenue of my estates. I am also an artists
model. a guitar player and member OF old
