OLD WORLD ROB5ER HAUMTS
A Remarkable Journey Undertaken
Through Lebanon to
Damascus.

In a recent issue of Harper's Week
" Harry A. Franck describes a re
narkable journey undertaken by him
on foot across the robber-infested Leb
anon range to Damascus-the third OF
a series of similar adventures now
running in this periodical. Everybody
tried to induce him to abandon thi.
enterprise. At n village the sheiki
invited him to sit in his shop entranc'
upon a stool and placed an earthen
ware pot in front OF him, into which
every passerby was urged to drop q
coin. The pot was almost full whel
an English-speaking villager explained
it's meaning. The sheihh was takins
up a collection to purchase for thu
author a railroad ticket to Damascus
Mr.. Franck picked up his knapsacl
and stepped into the street. But "thf
sheikh and several bystanders threw
themselves upon nee with cries OF dis.
may. 1t was no use attempting tC
escape from a dozen horny hands. ]
permitted myself to be led back to the
stool and sat down with the knapsack
across my knee. The sheihh addressed
me in soothing tones, pointing at the
pot with every third word. The 9th

BENNETT SPEAKS OF
NEW WHITE GAS CAR

Seven years in Wisconsin in the

Company, but four weeks ago., upon
a trip to our factory at Cleveland,
Rollin H. White tool Walter c. White.
A.. r, Warner. secretary of the COM
pany, and myself over seventy miles of
the worst road I ave ever Travelled.
We are all fairly well blessed with
avoirdupois, the total weight being just
over 200 pounds, and the vehicle was
the new gas car. 1t reminded me of
my early experiences, excepting only
that we were in the most perfect piece
of gas-car mechanism I had ever tried.
Mud was everywhere, and it recalled
some of the memorable Glidden tours.
For miles we were hitting the crown
of what is called by courtesy a road
and leaving the imprint of our rear
axle casing in the soft mud; but the
way that little car pulled through 1t
on the direct speed was q revelation.

We LIKE THE FLAG,
BUT OH, YOU HO0OO0
It's the 500 Mark That's the
Jonah to the
Tigers.

Owner Joe McGinnity and his band
of Tigers are well up among the con-
tenders for first place honors in the
Eastern League and the team by which
this here burg is represented has more
than a fair chance TO land the coveted
pennant before thA season comes to a
close. 1t is almost an assured fact
however, that before such a feat is ac-
complished the local band of b~alltossers
will have passed the 500 mark in the
percentage tables, and go further over
it than s points.
If the seven other teams in the circuit
would only be so kind as TO remain
back of that mark it would be an easy
task for the Newarkers to walk off with
the rag. Not only this year has this been
the case. but in years gone by. Last year.
for instance, the jungleites at this time of
the season were just at the same station.
When 1t was announced that McGinnity
had purchased the local team early in the
spring it was the consensus of opinion
IN local fandom that the Tigers would
overthrow the hoodoo. 1t still continues
TO haunt us, though.
h season is now well advanced. The
Iron Man" has been pulling along, using
every bit of his energy in an effort TO
land his band OF the top Of the distant
hill where stands the pole on which fut-
ters the pennant of efficiency. There
seems to be a creek or ditch in front
of Tige on his journey pennantward. and
hat ditch can easily be labeled the 800
per cent. mark"
The Tigers manage to reach the ditch
easily enough, and sometimes go beyond
it. but if you follow their trail in the
course of a few days YOU always find them
back on the other bank. Tige's cry is
something like this:
I like my %pennant, but oh, you hoodoo..''
