ABOUT every eultlOn Oh our Hhost
popular weekly magazines contains
an advertisement of certain brand
or rather, make-of under-clothing
and this advertisement Is aptly Illus
trated with the likeness of nice
looking man wearing a suit OF this
underwear, which is distinguished by
the fact that 1t Is extremely loose
lifting with arms extending only an
inch or so below the shoulders and
pantalets which scarcely cover the
kneecaps. This unoerclothing Is
recommended by many good judges
as being Joy forever to a man who
Is wise enough to wear 1t during the
sweltering months. That is, it's just
the thing to wear when ones Indoors
and away from the gaze of anybody
aside from immediate members of his
family. The above mentioned man In
the advertisement Is also holding a
telephone in his right hand and ap-
pears to be discussing some question
of importance with a close friend at
the other end of the line, just as
though he had on as much apparel
do lut dNtidbt SohN hi'h ''''N--
he uses telephone.
But all that is neither here nor
there. 1t goes without saying that
you don't have to hold telephone In
your hand in order to wear this style
of underclothes. II you don't believe
1t, inquire of one G. b. Davids, a resi-
dent of Detroit, Michigan.
To get down to cold facts, Mr.. Da-
yids. the hero of this story, spent
about ten minutes doing miniature
marathon run around the union sta
ton platform about midnight, We'd
nesday, trying to find his train. And
all that he had on was suit OF the
above described underclothes with a
meager outer covering afforded by a
blanket that he had managed to pick
up. 1t goes without further discus
sion that he was minus the proverbial
smile. Davids located his train just as
II was pulling up through the north
yards in his Apache-like attire and
over cruel cinders and cold, clammy
steel rails he was unable to reach the
back platform. Then he wandered
back to the depot and asked a police
man where he could put up for the
night.
The cop didn't know whether to
take Davids to the city prison or snow
him to a hotel, not knowing whether
he was a Iunatic or only an advocate
of some fresh air cure. Finally, how
ever, he took Davids in charge and
escorted him TO the union depot hotel,
where he was admitted as harmless,
At the Detroit mans request a tele-
gram was sent to station north on
the Hooking Valley, asking to nave
his clothes taken out of his sleeper
and sent back to Marion. The clotnes
arrived this morning and Davids took
the first train toward home.
Just how 1t all came about cannot
he ascertained. 1t is thought, how
ever, that Davids, who came into Ma
rion on the northbound Hooking val
ley train, due here at 11:15 p' M
got off for the purpose OF getting
to help him stand the neat
that prevailed inside the sleeper. Not
being provided with a late map show
ing the dry territory in Ohio, Davids
didn't know that Marion Is as arid
as an Arizona plantation and that
such commodity as a drink Is be-
yond the reach of even a policeman
He wandered afar in his desire to
dampen his interior only to run up
against dire disappointment
Coming back to the depot without
being molested on account OF his
wierd apparel, Davids got aboard
westbound Erie train instead OF the
Hooking Valley, Finding
his mistake he alighted and began TO
look for his own train. He discover
ed 1t just after the last coach had
pulled across the Erie tracks and was
disappearing into the Hooking valley
yards. tls.s..
For five minutes Davids gave eN-
preston to his ire by condeming the
railroad trust, the Anti-Saloon league
and all Of their allied interests, Then
realizing that he was the center OF
attraction among thirty or more peo-
pie about the depot he tried to pun
both of his legs up in his blanket al
the same time and made his way to
a nearby policeman. L q s,-,...-
