WHO STOLE. THE PIE
THERE'S A DEEP AND DARK MYS-

Number of Hawkshaws Are Now Work
ing on the Case; the Presidents
Mince Meat Disappeared in the
Twinkling of an Eye; (which Way
Did 1t Went?" Newark Bakers
Union Insists Material Was Sent.

New York, Nov 27.-''The mystery
of the White House pie" or "Who
swiped the presidents mince meat?" is
the title of thrilling drama of real
life that is today engaging the best
union labor detective talent of Wash
ington and Newark, n. j..
Mince pie, the bake shop kind, has
always been subject of the deepest
mystery, but that which surrounds the
Newark creation, which, was intended
as the piece de resistance of the presi-
dents Thanksgiving dinner, is the
deepest yet encountered.
Upheaval Is Threatened.
All that is known positively is that
the Newark Bakers union baked the
pie and insists that it started to Wash
ington Tuesday morning in custody OF
three tried and true members of the
union.
Thereafter the whole affair is cloak
ed in uncertainty and there are hints
that the denouement will cause a "ter-
rible upheaval."
90 lar. llleIt HIS DSen NOTu
the committee that accompanied the
pie. Their silence is considered omin-
ous. One report has it that the three
men, unable to resist temptation, broke
into the pie and Invested it of its con-
tents.
Morgues Are Searched.
A search of the hospitals and NOR
que along the line of journey has re,
vealed nothing to substantiate this
theory.
The only other theory tenable is that
the White House sleuths, upon whom
devolves the duty of preserving The
presidents physical equanimity, made
away with the pie. They are accused
of saving it into pounnd sections an(
feeding Washington's poor with it.
The real solution of the mystery il
expected soon.

Teaching Girls to. Ride Horses,


Almost all the little girls who are
taught to ride horses these days are
put on cross saddles. They may or
may not ride astride when they get
bigger, but they all learn that way,
1t is safer position in the first place
and 1t gives confidence never acquired
by youngstcr in side saddle. AS n

instructor holds her pony by lead.

FAMED ST: aINa eoYs OF JENA.
Ougrowth OF Nge Of Bacohantes or
Wandering Students.

Hundreds of years ago the streets
Of Jena and other German towns used
to echo to the songs of black-robed
monks, who went FROM door to door
SID ing ana begging aims. Their ex-
ample was followed by bands of roor
students, known as Bacchantes. These
mechanics wandered from one uni
versity 10 another in search of better
instruction or better means of sup
port. Such wandering life was ia
vored by the customs of times when
people thought it virtue TO give free
ly to all persons seeking help, but
especially to monks and students.
The Bacchantes had with them
younger travelling scholars known as
sk1rmishers, who were to receive in
struction in return for certain services
The younger skirmisher had to wait
upon his Bacchante; beg, and even
steal for him, and for the most rart
he was very tyrannically used But
as he was waif without other protec-
ton he had to make the best of mat
tiers.
After the reformation in many
places these orphan boys, or waits,
were banded into organized choirs,
who received pay from clutches. but
also were assisted by private sub
scriptions. 1t was their duty to sing
not only in the churches, but before
the houses Of their patrons as we'll.
Thus they ceased to be beggars. Mar
tin Luther himself as a boy had been
one Of these singers. and it was large
ly due 10 his influence that the old
custom of begging entirely PASSED
away. There is a famous picture Of
Luther as singing boy in Eiserach
where his song attracted the attention
Of the COED Frau Gotta. who adopted
and educated him.
Nowadays the old custom Of the
choir boys singing fror, house TO
house is fading away. There are only
five other towns besides Jena in the
whole German empire where this mu-
sic can be heard. Once each year The
singing boys go to Eisenach and sing
before the emperor in the great hail
of the historic castle of the Wartburg,
where the Minnesingers held their
music battles.
There are just 20 of the Jena sing
Ing boys, five each of the ages Of -
