In two weeks on this very subject,
and l have seen them all"
However, such reflections do not
get him anything" to use his own
expression, and he soon dismisses the
subject from his mind. Nor does he
think Of It again until the next morn
ing. The occasion for his thinking
Of It then is another article in news
paper. This attracts his immediate
attention, because It was written and
signed by tile head Of the firm for
which ne works. And the substance
Of It is that there is not one particle
Of truth" In the charge made against
him.
This time the face Of the S12 clerk
breaks into a broad grin.
"The old mans got his nerve" he
thinks to himself, as he recalls the
four letters. And again he dismisses
the subject from his mind.
But by this time he has become
enough interested In the matter to fol-
low It up in the newspapers. And he
notes the next day that the politician
who originally made the charge comes
back rather weakly. as one must do
who has said something that he may
believe to be true but cannot prove.
"What q monkey they would make
Of the old man." he thinks to him

stuck in the front Of his hatband.
The letter writer begins cautiously,
II not ambiguously. He first takes
pains to find out in detail about the
emissary, how long he has been with
the politician by whom he is now en-
ployed and II he has any documents
on his person to prove that he is what
he claims to be. He exhibits letters
and papers.
It is now time for the letter writer
to unbosom a little. The emissary
flies at him. Where are the letters?
To whom we're they written? What
statements do they contain? And a
lot more.

THE ARMY AS A

(Army and Navy Journal.)
The editor of the Physical Gull

because when he wrote to the war
department, offering to take a dozen
soldiers at his own expense and |
prove that 81 could feed them on a
diet that would be far less expen- |
sive than that which they we're
following, and could establish a re
gimen for them that would greatly

whose name very aptly suggests
fads, for if these men had been lent
to this diet experimenter, who can
tell but what now the whole army
would be parceled out among the
various food theorists for purposes
of tests?
Why should Mr.. Fletcher, who be-

kind come from improper chewing,
not have been privileged to ask for
a squad to give his views the ,roper

There is a large school believe that
tomatoes cause cancer, and they

SPOTLIGHT NOTES FROM
THE WORLD OF MIMICRY
BY JAMES CIR ANT THURsToN

New York, February 2.-(Special)-A
brand new three act comedy called Tier
Husbands Wife," containing the activi-
ties of Klaw and Erlanger and Henry
Miller will open at the Broad Street thea
tire in Philadelphia on Monday night.
From what l am able to learn from the
rehearsal receptions it is destined for a
long run both hero and elsewhere. 1t
is quite unnecessary. however, to make
this prediction for with Klaw and Erlan-
ger and Mr. Miller behind the production
it couldn't possibly fail. Mr.. Miller will
supervise it in all the details which
brings him into such relationship with
the heads of the theatrical syndicate for
the first time in his career.
Tier Husbands Wife, Is full of ginger
and fun and the scenes center about Sara
togo. The man in the case is a club
loving. evening clothed gentleman who Is
.flways jolly and never looks glum while
his wife is hypochondriacally Inclined
Her disor6ered mind continually rests
upon the delusion that she will soon die
Therefore Hhe sets to work to pick out
her successor. Her favor rests upon a
plain. simple clothed creature not at
oil alluring. But when the successor-to-be
is let in on the secret she blossoms and
broadens under the influence of her inax-
nation and becomes very beautiful with
plenty Of swell frocks. The neurotic wife
become jealous at the change and the
scenes which ensue are filled with mirth
