FINDS HONEST MAN,
NOW HUNTS CASH
AND GOOD CHECKS
Hagop Uncababian En-
gagged Helper on Street.
His Coat Looted.

Another philosopher is looking for an
honest man. Hagop Uncababian, head
of the Oriental rug department, at
Clark & DavonpoTts store, signs for
the good old days when one was more
or less sure that all Of ones fellow
men We're comparatively honest.
Hagop is the victim Of his own open
hearJedness; his childlike faith in the
goodness of human nature.
Several days ago Hagop. filed with
Happiness was entering the store on i
street, when it suddenly occurred TO
him that The department Of which he
Is the head was in need of a competent
helper. A strong and muscular man
who could lift rugs and sling chairs was
required.
Hagop could have used the old and
time-w2rn methods of getting LhdJ
helper He could have advertised; he
could have inquired OF other helpers,
hut no. he was going TO try something
novel. He. HagOp Uncababian, would
rise and show his fellow-man that non
esty was not an unknown virtue.
Finds Right Man.
Turning upon his heel he wandered
INTO the street In search Of a man who
would answer as the required helper.
=
before he beheld a man who filled his
heart with joy. Walking directly to-
ward him was a COlOTed man, who ap-
peared to be the helper. His eounte-
nance, IL is true, was not particularly
prepossessing, but his chest and shoul-
ders resembled the forepart or a bullock:
You are an honest mani demanded
HagOD with startling aDruptness, as
no came upon the strange Ethiopian

ing a violent shock. From mis- appear
ance he must have suffered severely
from an attack Of blank establishment
"Ah's Honest All Right, All Is"
"Oh. Abs honest all right" he man
aged to gasp, at last
Hagop Uncababian grasped him firmly
by the arm.
Then, Light OF the World. come with
me and get work cried HagOp unto
him. And before the Honest one could
explain that he never worked nom con-
sritutional principles. he was led into
the rug department Of the store.
Two days he worked, and then II came
to pass one morning, as he and HagOp
stood near a rug, he picked up the man
ayers fallen coat from the floor
''Wheah viii All put dis, bOss?" he
asked HagOp requested that It be laid
across a chair.
Went Through HagOp's Coat.
Then the honest man obeyed literally.
He laid the coat across the chair and
removed all of its contents. Having
done this he became pensive and rest
less wandering throughout the building
until he got a chance TO transformations
~ disappear through the open door.
HagOp UuCabdbldn's childhke faith in
human nature IS gone. He lost 81 in
cash, q $500 check ana $40 note.
So with a stout club replacing the
ancient lantern Of DiOgenes, HagOp IN
Caha bian is looking for his honest
man. The police, at his request are
seeking q dishonest man.

TAFT NOT EXPECTED
BY WAR DEPART aENT

The War Department has had no
message from Secretary Taft telling Of
a change in his intended visit to Europe
before returning to the United States.
Most of the correspondence seems to
have gone between the White House
and Manila so that no intimation of
the Secretary's return to this country

VALUABLE PRESCRIPTION
FOR CRzoEIC HEADACHE


The following formula is given
out by an Eastern physician with
a large practice among the nations
arIstocraey. Coming from such high
authority, the formula is most re-
liable and Is said TO be remarkably
effective.
He says: The majority OF head
aches are the result OF imperfect
digestion and sluggish bowel ac-
ton, which causes food fermenta-
ton in the stomach and retention OF
certain poisons which are absorbed
into the blood and thus affect the
nervous system. To relieve this
condition and permanently cure IL
use the following formula:
Two ounces Essence OF PepSlni
three. ounces Syrup of Ginger one
ounce Catandir COMPOUND; mix
them well and take in doses OF
from one to two teaspOoufuls after
each meal: also at bed time TOR the
first few days.
These ingredients are obtainable
from any good prescription drug
pist. and easily mixed.

The fire was discovered about 2
o'clock this morning. -Four alarms
were turned in. but before the arrival
OF the fire fighters the entire building
was IN flames. Pipe lines were laid
from all hydrants in the vicinity, but
it was not until after dawn that the
fire was finally extinguished. Acting
Chief Wagner responded 10 the second
alarm. and directed the work of the
firemen.
The fire was the largest and most
stubborn the department has had to

first floor, the flames spread rapidly IN
all directions, making il necessary to

HOW TO SERVE BLACK COFFEE.
Neither Cream Nor Milk Should 30
Added to the Beverage.

Black or after-dinner coffee Is
usually made exactly like that taken
for breakfast and made by filtering,
steaming or boiling, save that double
the proportion of the beans is used.
Two heaping tablespoonfuls coffee to
each cup of water. 1t should be strong
and perfectly clear. Serve in small
cups with block sugar.
AS after-dinner coffee Is used as a
d~igestant, neither cream nor milk
should be added. There is a growing
fancy for making the regular Turkish
coffee for the Sunday dessert. but it
is extremely "puttery" work, as only
small cups are made at a time. The
essentials for the Turkish coffee are
one of the Turkish coffee mills of
brass that grind the bean as fine as
powder and one of the tiny Turkish
coffee pots that can nov be found in
any of the housefurnishing stores.
To make the coffee in these, put a
pot containing freshly boiled water on
the fire with two or three Jumps of
sugar. Add two teaspOonfuls of coffee
powder to the water, which is just
enough for two after-dinner cups, stir
we'll and let the pot boil up four times,
Between each boil, the pot is taken
from the stove and tapped gently on
the bottom until the froth appears
on the top. Then return to the fire
until it boils again. 1t requires very
close watching.
After the last boiling, pour off the
one cup then in another SO as to d.
vide the froth evenly.
Have more boiling water in readi.

all are served.

WY ASHINGTON.-Judge j. B. Bal

ENJ ASHINGTON.-Judge j.. b. Bal
w linger of Seattle, the new com

politicians and lobbyists to guessing.
When members of the senate and

WILL SPEND MILLIONS
RECLAIMING DESERT SOIL

Great American Desert. His name is
attached to many of the original maps
of ArizOnia, New Mexico and Califor-
MIA. The reports of his Investigations
are valuable contributions to the
knowledge of the arid country and it's
possibilities, and have been of espe-
cial value in the preliminary work OF
the reclamation service.
In 1S9S-1900 Mr.. Davis had charge
of the photographic work on the
Nicaragua and Panama canal routes,
and his reports furnished much need
ed and important information con-
corning both plans. He joined the
reclamation service Immediately after
the passage of the reclamation act,
and since that time has taken part in
all the engineering work connected
Herewith.
Mr.. Davis is a man of great indus
try and is enthusiastic in developing
efficient and businesslike methods in
the operation of the service. His
characteristics are clear judgment
and sound common sense, and these,
combined with a thorough understand
ing Of the principles of engineering
design, fit him for the responsible
post to which he has been appointed.
His promotion meets with the I'M
qualified approval of all the engineers
of the service, and is regarded by
them as a reward for faithfulnesS and
efficiency
