SURELY DESERVES A MEDAL
Record Act Of Bravery That ls Set to
Credit Of intrepid New
York Man.

The bravest man In New York
made his appearance in Broadway
store last week. He carried an enor-
nous bandbox which contained an
enormous hat on which the man want
ed what he considered an enormous
amount Of money refunded. The men
was pretty mad and while looking for
some one who had the authority to
negotiate the transaction he talked
loud enough for everybody to hear.
MY wife bought this hal" he said.
"She doesn't need 1t. She has already
bought three hats this spring. She
paid $35 for this one. She has never
worn 1t. 1t just came1home last night.
| can't afford to throw all that money
away and want you to take the hat
back. She wouldn't bring 1t down, so
! undertook the jub myself.
by the side Of that man Napoleon
was q cringing coward, said the
young woman who had made the sale.
Imagine his aouncing into Partisan
millinery shop with a hat that he
didn't want Josephine to buy. He
couldn't have done 1t. Very few men
can: Once in long while some poor
New Yorker with the courage Of
desperation in his heart returns mer-
chandise which he cannot afford to
buy for his wife and his audacity up

Solve Mystery of an Ancient Ghost

strange thing came about when the
giant elm in question, probably more
than 100 years old, was felled at the
instigation Of the public grounds de,
partment.
When the big elm cell 1t was dis
covered that about thirty feet of it's
top was hollow, and inside was found
an owl Of the bald-headed variety
sleeping as quietly as though nothing
had happened. The inside of the tree
was found to be filled with egg shells,
corn cobs and various other refuse
which the owl had from time to time
taken there. While the owl occupied
a conspicuous place In the tree, calm
.ly nestling in heap In the bottom of
the hole, there was q mother and
father chipmunk with twenty five lit,
tie ones.
People Of the district who have re.
sided there for twenty-five years are
glad that the mystery has been
solved. They have been trying to dis
cover for years the cause OF all the
nightly gruesome noises which have
on more than one occasion frightened
the women of the district who have
been obliged to return to their homes
