a young wife has obtained a warrant
charging him with desertion.
Brewer is 81 years old n his wife
"a. They were married seven years
ago, and her counsel, j. w. Gavan,
said today that she had been deserted
eight times by Brewer.
John S. Hatfield, president of the
Radial Bearing Company, of Bayonne.
said today that Brewer interested him
in the supposed patents, and that h
sold his hotel to invest in them. A
company was organized and Brewer
was made vice-president, but his man.
agement was criticised and he was
made consulting engineer.
1.-The day before Brewer was reported
missing" said Hatfield today. 1.-THE COM
pany missed all of it's drawn plans and
specifications. It developed the day
after he disappeared that his wife had
asked for his arrest for desertion.
II followed Brewer to New York,
where he opened an office in the Liberty
Building. I guess he discovered that
was on his trail, for he has not been
around there for several days. I have
found that he organized companies in
Newark, Trenton and Philadelphia to
manufacture his supposed patents, and
in none of these places did the investors
make anything"

Dainty and Fascinating Woman

She Has a Dear Friend Who Is

A dainty feminine "swindler,' low of

the feminine members of quiet, peace
loving Forest Hill, though really she
did no more than cause them to feel
decidedly sheepish. But then what
could be worse than chagrin In a
" 'aughty female cart"
Her hearts desire evidently seems to
be flowers, and flowers she gets, or
rather got, by a system al her own
She'd walk along the street, espy a
bloom-laden lawn, and up to the door
she'd trip, w~ell-gowned, ll-groomed
and gliding in the most approved Di-
r~ectoire fashion. OF course the mis-
tress of the house was favorably i'm
pressed at first sight.
i've a friend who is to be married
tonight, and I'd so love to give her a
few garden flowers. Florists blossoms
are not nearly SO sweet. Might / have
a few of yours?" This last with an APP
pealing intonation that would charm
the heart of John D.. Rockefeller.
The mistress of the house was all
smiles. Permission was accorded. In
fact she helped the stranger to gather
the choicest blooms, sending her on her
way with a host of good wishes for
herself and her bride-to-be friend.
Blu the SUMS always brightest a little
before the rain, n soon h mistress's
feeling of benevolence was succeeded
by something different. Neighbors got
together, as n%eighbors will, and 1t was
found out that the same winning lady
Observation-Disclosures friend, had bam-
boozled each and every one alike.
And now let her dare to strike that
section again!
But what worries Gus neighbors' is
what she does with the flowers, Some
of us think she's Interested In a hos
pital, and some think she's afflicted
with what little Jimmy calls wheels.

of retirement from the arena of world
action, Cleveland was buried close on
to twilight yesterday. The mellow
tolling of the bell in Old North
was the only note of music that
sounded as requiem TO the great

no trappings or panoply of military
