Apartment House Mascot and His Job

This nomadic New Workers. re-
moval from one place to another does
not cost him anything. except the
wear and tear on his furniture. and
the labor OF getting settled in each
new apartment. His changing about

solely from the fact that he is consid'
cred as q mascot or a forerunner of
good fortune for a certain. rich man,
who owns great deal of Manhattan
real estate. and who is continually i'm
proving it by putting up large apart
ment houses
One of the crucial periods in the
life of an apartment house is when
it just has been completed. and 1t is
desired to fill II with tenants. All the
apartment houses owned by this rich
man are managed by the firm of
agents in whose employ is this mascot
who never pays rent. Just how the
superstition started is not Known, but
that the man who believes In ii has
grounds for such belief that are sat

its long contipuancee
When a new apartment house be

Office is notified that his quarters will
be ready for him on such and sucn
day. His apartment is the first to
be completed. The other apartments
may be still in the hands of painters
and decorators and the halls may be
Uttered with shavings and broken
plaster. But this professional first

DARING RESCUE

CARRIES AN INVALID WOMAN
FROM HER HOUSE THROUGH
FLAMES.
HIS FRIEND SAVES CHILDREN
John Kold, a 1e-Year-Old Philadel-
phia Youth, Braves Fire to Save
Woman Who Seemed
Doomed.

Philadelphia. Bedridden through
long illness, Mrs. Nathan Tiekoff was
a helpless prisoner in her room in the
third story of the fire-swept house at
No. 1881 Lombard street, until John
Kold, a 19-year-old boy. fought his
way through the smoke and flames to
her side and carried her to safety
Mrs. Tiekoff, who is 60 years old,
was awakened about three o'clock In
the morning by smoke. She tried to
sit up in her bed and called to her
sons and daughters sleeping in the
room behind her. The children were
sleeping too soundly to be reused and
the aged woman was compelled to
watch in agony the slow curl of
smoke under the doorway and hear
the roar of the flames eat the lower
stairways.
The smoke attracted the attention
of a passerby and Kold and Harry
Beckman broke down the front door.
Kold knew of Mrs. Tiekoff's condition
and hastily tying a handkerchief over
his nose and mouth he climbed the
stairs. The door of Mrs. Tiekon S
room was locked, but the panels gave
way under his shoulder. Mrs. Tiekoii
was almost overcome. but Kold picked
her up and started down stairs. The
lower flight was almost burned
but he jumped several of the gaps and
gained the street.
Mrs. Tiekoff was sent to the Poly
clinic hospital, where she was re
vived.
Meantime her sons, Jacob, aged 10
and Harry, seven years old, and heI
little 11-year-old daughter, were asleeI

The Riches Of Christ.

The great apostle, appreciating the

treasure in an "earthen vessel" yet
he dared In that earthen vessel to car

all the world. We may not be bril-

we may have manifold infimities; the

EARLY HISTORY OF
THE GERMAN DRAMA

The stage in Germany is as much
indebted to Hans Sachs as the Eng
iish stage is TO Shakespeare. This
immortal was born In the year 1894,
OF lowly parentage. being the sou of a
tailor and apprenticed to a shoemaker
In thise days apprentices and mas
ters OF the craft wandered through
the country going from town TO
town, and were classed under the
title of trade companies. On his Jour
neys through the country he COM
bined with cobbling the art of song,
which was cultivated by these itin-
Grant artisans. especially in South
Germany and the Rhinelands Re
turning TO Neuremberg he threw
himself heart and soul In the art
of song, poetry and dramatios pro-
duction. but at the same time continu-
ing at his trade. Sachs had IN his
travels visited Frankfort. wurzburg.
Cologne. Munich Vienna. Lubbock.
and many other places, and he learn
ed things new. not only about boots
and shoes, but about poetry and
when, at the age OF twenty-five, he
settled down In Neurenburg. he was
able to stand up as the reformer Of
the German drama, Sachs life COW
cred period OF eighty-two years. and
his ability as a writer was nothing
short OF marvellous. II is said that
there were years in which he wrote
as many as eighteen plays. In fact,
In 1856 he wrote eight tragedies and.
ten comedies. AS a heritage to pos
terity he left 1913 dramatic works 50
tragedies, 65 comedies, 81 Shrove-
tide plays and 10 dramatic works.
