Pelham Manor is a romautio, sylvan re-
treat for merry New Yorkers-a near-sub-
urb Of the Dundee and Benson class. Lots
live there. Until recently the general re-
pute OF the locality rested on the ripping
music OF the name. Now IL lays claim TO
eminence as the home OF a sherlock Holmes
in the person OF Chief Of Police Marks.
Marks denies having reached the destins-
ton. merely heading that way, and this is
why: Charles Melville was run in a sus-
picious character OF porch-cllmbiRg talent.
There wasn't enough visible on the shady
fellow to prove his crookedness until Marks
sized him up.
Let me see his legs exclaimed Chief
Marks with a mysterious air.
Melville's trousers were pulled up and his
socks were pulled down, On either leg
were scratched. Chief Marks seized his
magnlfying glass and dropped on his knees.
"Tis just as l expected" the chief said
solemnly as he regalned his feet Those
scratches were made by spllnters of wood.
The wood Is OF hat peculiar grain known
to the building profession as porch wood.
This man has scratched his legs on porches,
II follows he must be the porch-cllmber we
have been hearing about"
"A bartender with a stunt Is always a
good asset" said the manager OF a Broad
way cafe quoted by the Times. 9TH fell

some business down there last week and
took a train TO Fort Wadsworth Right
near the station 1 noticed a slick little
place, and feeling thirsty 1 went In for a
glass of beer. There were several sold
iers from the fort standing at the bar,
and the Germrn who was serving them
was also amusing them by writing their
names with a piece Of chalk on the smooth
surface of the bar. This doesn't sound
unusual, does 1t? But when you take
into consideration that from his position
behind the bar it was necessary for him
to write not only backward, but upside
down, you may get some idea of the diff
Guilty of his feat. He wrote my name
and standing where 1 was in front of the
bar 1 saw him dash It off without any
hesitation, and II gave me a sort of an
canny feeling to see 1t coming at me

Mayor Gaynor is smashing presidents

deputies favor no one for political in

Politics must be benished from your de-

wrong valuation must be dismissed at
