Eli the Iceman
Called by Death

Last evening Eli, one OF the best
known Cinnamon III this community,
died at his cabin near Chinatown.
He started the China New Year with
the general celebration and took cold
during the big time. This developed
into double pneumonia which carried
him away III a very few days. His
death. will be regretted by far more
white people than Cinnamon.
Eli has for the past ten years man
ned the ice wagon for Doc Benton.
He grew to be an expert at the bus
mess and made it going affair for
his employer. He became as well
known as any of the merchants in
this city and was regarded as one OF
the people.
For many years he was employed
by Charles Schulz and his wife on
their Clear Creek ranch, moving TO
town after they gave up the place.
During his illness he was given all
the medical attention possible, both
by the China doctor and an American
physician. 1t was case of too much
celebration and pneumonia.
lie is entitled to a double funeral
both by his American friends and his
countrymen. Old Eli will surely be
missed.

Maitland took swift thought on her
behalf
''Too long to go into now," he parted

scoundrel Anisty and I'll put in a
good word for you with the deputy
commissioner"
'Ah, yeh help me nab him." grunted-
the detective, end l won't need no
good word with nobody"
The hanson swung into Broadway,
going like a whirlwind; and picked up
an uniformed officer in front of the
Flatiron building, who, shouting and
using his locust stridently, sprinted
after them. A block further down an
other fell into line; and he it was who
painted at the step an instant after the
cab had lurched to stop before the
entrance to the st. Luke building.
Hickey had rolled out before the
policeman had chance to buster.
"Lo, Bergen" he greeted the man.
"Yeh know me-I'm Hickey, central
Office. Yeh're jus in time. Anisty's

BY way of reply the officer stopped
and drummed loud alarm on the
sidewalk with his night-stick.
"Say," he painted, rising. you're a
wonder, Hickey-if you get him."
"Uh-huh," grunted the detective
with sidelong glance at Maitland.
"C'm long"

WHY UMBRELLA WAS RETURNED
Something of Joke on the Late
Henry Ward Beecher.

Among the financial friends Of the
great preacher was one old broker in
New York-an aggressive Unitarian,
which sect he often said bore "the
trade mark of honesty" One day he
met Mr.. Beecher hurrying toward
Wall street ferry to avoid the down.
pour of sudden rainstorm.
Take my umbrella" said the
broker. Il don't need it; the coming
bus takes me to my door,"
At the ferry Mr.. Beecher met lady,
prominent church worker of a sister
church, who, having no umbrella, was
lamenting her inability to reach her
car safely. The urbane preacher
forced the umbrella upon her as he
said: II will be out your way to-mor-
row and will call and get It,"
Two hours later as Mr.. Beecher was
sitting in the old arm chair in his
study the doorbell rang and when he
responded to the call boy hurriedly
presented him with an umbrella, to-
gether with an unsealed note, which
read:
Dear Mr.. Beecher-My husband,
Mr.. NJ, demands that I return the
umbrella you so kindly loaned me at
once. and join him in saying that un.
der the circumstances the pleasure Of
an anticipated call is uRregretted
Upon opening the umbrella you will
become more fully advised of our
united action"
The great expounder Of truth and
honesty was Mortified when upon
opening the umbrella he discovered a
pasted slip upon which was written in
q bold round hand: Stolen by some
Presbyterian theft"

A HUMAN VIEW OF THE boy
SCOUTS"

Financial doubt has recently drawn
its trail across the national organiza-
tion of the boy Scouts" causing the
resignation of several of its prominent
sponsors, but it would be a calamity
if so good an idea were permitted TO
suffer extinction by reason of the
delinquencies of the "old scouts" who
are alleged to have had keener vision
for dollars than for the tell-tale signs
of woodcraft.
The moral value of the movement,
so far as affects the rank and file,
was graphically illustrated the other
day on a Baltimore street. A com
pany of the scouts stood in line wait
ing for a car to take them to the
country for maneuvers. They stood,
proud in their uniforms, and deadly in
earnest with their purpose. Around
them swarmed the ubiquitous ''gamin." 5"
the irrepressible newsboy. They COM
menced to gibe. While the red col
ored the necks of the scouts" street
humor, always personal, fed on itself
till it reached the point of almost
unbearable personality. The scouts
doubled their fists and glared; battle
seemed imminent.
At this juncture the commanding
officer of the squad gave the command
Attention." Every scout" clicked his
heels together. turned his eyes to the
front and stood ,jmmovable. And
though their tormcntors redoubled
their cfTorts-though, emboldened, they
touched the ranks with provocative
fingcrs-thP line held. monument OF
youthful discipline and self-cOntrol.
1t is the pride of the Scottish vet
Grams that, better than any other
troops, they can stand patiently in
active under fire. There is something,
which it will take more than sus-
picion of graft i'll its organization to
prejudice. in a principle which will put
into the heart of youth standard of
calm courage like that of the Baltimore
boy scouts" who kept their eyes to
the front, regardless OF the melting
rabble swapping at their flank.
