 corning AssaiIant's Identity = Spoke to Priest Soon After He Was Shot,
 but Has Not Made Statement to Any Official.
 Atlantic City, x. l., Sept. 1 - I'm. provement was so marked fin the con dition of Charles B. Roberts, the Balti- more financier. that the physicians make little reservation in their an nouncements of his speedy recovery. Mir. Roberts will be called upon within the next few days to make sworn statement concerning the shooting on the boardwalk.
 He will be asked if he knew the man who shot him and if not whether he can furnish description which will lead to identification. The police as- sume from information in their pos session that MT. Roberts can clear up the mystery If he will. The case will hinge in measure on the attitude which Mir. Roberts takes.
 Priest Summoned to Hospital.
 It is believed he already has told all to a priest, who was summoned to the bedside when it was feared he would not survive. Following his admission to the City hospital on the night of the shooting he was informed that the wound might prove fatal and that an immediate operation was imperative.
 Mir Roberts requested priest be summoned. Father Quinn of St. Nich- olas' church hurried to the hospital, and the surgeons and nurses left the room while the injured man was clos eted with his spiritual adviser.
 Father Quinn was asked if he could throw any light on the case as the result of information that was other wise than privileged. He replied he would say nothing.
 The only persons except the physi- clans and nurses who have talked with Mir. Roberts since his admission to the hospital are his wife, his broth CT, John F. Roberts, and Father Quinn. The report that he made an antemor- tenn statement to any official is denied.

camel, whose virtues he boasted-and

beast. 1t seemed a worthy camel. A
camel of excellent humor and of dis.

coveted by the way. At night. as the
custom is, the man was used to sleep

chill; but now, at Rafeh. while the
mules were unloading and the cook
was coaxing his fire, he tethered the

One was from the east, one from the

OF the infinite inferiority of the rest

You can't lick me-" said the other,
decidedly.
"Cer'nly 1 en- lick you!" shouted
the man from the east. 'Lookee

He went to weighing machine

up on it. He peered at the dial for a
