 EARTH ID HIDE Is in the Soothing Mass of London's Population DECLARES DIR. COOK He Tells For First Time Complete Story of His Wanderings Dur
 ing His Thirteen Months
 Disappearance
nISs.N0RA. SHELBY.

pr. Cook in his article in Hampton g Magazine for April. tells of his wander ings over the world in the thirteen months during which his whereabouts were unknown. Some six months after leaving New York, the doctor and his wife were in Buenos Ayres. He writes
 Mrs. Cook and I had agreed on trip up the Parana river. At Montevideo we received a number of letters and news paper clippings which had been for warded by relatives. These caused us to change our plans. One letter was from Mrs. Cooks sister. It was about our children. They had been placed in a pei vate school where, so the letter ran, re- porters were annoying outrageously not only them but also the school authorities
 Tn all the world there is nothing l love so much as my children; the thought of them is the tenderest spot in my heart. Perhaps parent, who has seen loved little one abused may re- alize the unutterable woe that g1'ipped my heart when I read that letter. Ncth- ing that had happened to me, no slur or implied enormity, had affected me so much as this.
 Mrs. Cook prepared at once to ae- turn to New York, where she would get the children quietly and take them to Europe. At Montevideo, where she sail ed, I sEeceived among my mail copies of the New York papers containing accounts of my flight the Dunkle and Loose expose, and the Copenhagen verdict. un- til I opened these pages my widest in- aginings had pictured nothing so utterly shameful as this. I stared at the awful black headlines in trance of unbelief and horror. A man reading his death warrant, and feeling life slipping from him. might experience something of what did then.
 I boarded a steamer bound for she Mediterranean. My intention was to go to Italy-where I never arrived. We were approaching the Canary Islands. got my luggage together. and landed there.
 'In a few hours another steamer ar rived. This I boarded. No one recog nized me on the voyage. I was left alone with my homesickness and the un- hppy company of my thoughts. Some time early in April landed at Plymouth and thence went to London. It occurred to me as I walked the streets the first night of my arrival that seclusion in the

Schiller Bros. do mail orde

Schiller Bros. do mail order whiskey business and are therefore well equipped to handle mail ordera for beer. They should get most of thif business as 1t is believed their prices cannot be met by the trust. It ia alleged that members of the trust are in an ironclad agreement to maintain present high prices. Schiller Bros. promise on the other hand to keen their cut prices in force all summer.
 Besides quoting the sensationally low prices mentioned, Schiller Bros. today announced that they are bottlin2 Milwaukee Club beer in full pints. The custom of brewers is to bottle beer in "trade' or short pints. Thus the action of Schiller Bros. in shipping full pints means another benefit for beer drinkers heretofore denied them by the trust
 Such low prices as I2 full pints Mill waukee Club Beer for SI.oo; 24 full pints for $I.eo; 36 full pints for Sa. 70; 50 full pints for S4.2s and I2o full pints for $7.90 are announced by Schiller Bros. They have shipped carloads.

Human Types in Fiction
rom the New York He

r ToIl tIe l>tW IOTk f1eTdlu
 The deep hold that the great literature of the world has obtained on the human imagination is indicated by the number of characters of fiction that mean as much to us as those of history.
 There are no lovers in history like Romeo and Juliet and Paul and Virginia Nero was the embodiment of wanton cruelty, but the name of Legree is betI CT known to the average citizen. Many a rowing husband has returned to find his wife married to another. but the only wanderer of this sort that the world knows by name Is Enoch Arden. Wash ingtons reputation for truth rests on a single anecdote, but there Is no question in any ones mind in regard to the treach- cry of Iago or the jealousy of Othello.
 Becky Sharp has characteristics so thoroughly feminine that they will always be identified with her name, and Bill Sykes is known to every one as the em- bodment of cruelty.
 Mrs. Grundy is character in an old English play who never appears in the flesh, but Is merely the subject of con- stant reference, yet her name has become a household word. Sherlock Holmes is

The Foolish Male

we males are all fools, from man right on down to bugs"
 The speaker, naturalist, was gath ering up in a shovel a quart or two of insects that, in the mild spring night had killed themselves by flying into an electric light.
 They are all males, these fellows, , he said. Tt Is only males who wreck themselves like this. You. never find female insect dead beneath a light. The females have got too much sense.
 But the male moth is romantic. The light to him represents beauty, su- preme happiness, such as no female moth has ever given him. To secure that ineffable beauty and happiness he abandonss everything, he wings his way straight to the heart of the lovely flame, and-pst--it Is finished
 It's the same with men. They, too, are romantic"

English metropolis was more secure
 than in desert. Who could search me out here?
 Tt is a singular thing how utterly | alone man can be among a cheerful, boisterous crowd of human beings. With the exception of a beard which I had grown, I necer wore any disguise. For a while I lived at the Cecil,
 where many Americans usually stop One evening while in the lobby I en- gagged in conversation with a pleasant fellow who told me has was newspaper man on one of the London dailies We exchanged names and in the days that fellow who told me he was a newspaper
 wondered how l might amaze him If I
 told him who was. On the loo,Aout

 My life was aimless and futile. Since leaving New York I had not laid pen to paper. read little. Day by day I sat thinking thinking until it seemd my brain must exhaust itself repeating tho rigamarole. The verdict of the world re- gardng me became, each day, more un- endurable, and. although my case seemed hopeless, the old questions recurred in sistently What can I dor Can I ex- plain? Will people believe me?
 During the entire summer this wrought upon my mind. and while it made my life more uncomfortable, 1t gave birth to a new courage. wanted tho people of my country to believe in my honesty; 1 wanted to be able to go nome. to take my children home. I think 1t is chiefly because of them that I have re- solved to state my case, whatever tho result may be, and to face my country men. With my two little girls, Mrs. Cook arrived in London early in June. 1910.
 During the summer of 1910. with our children, we travelled through Holland. Germany and Switzerland. We stopped at Oberammergau and witnessed 'he Passion Play. There I recognized many Americans. I spoke to none. None knew me. We next went to Belgium. There we decided on our plans. My mind in the meantime had evolved the desperate intention of frankly telling my story to the world. The editors of Hampton s Magazine had established communica- ton with me and with their assistn nee began to prepare these memoirs. With our two children my wife took refuge in southern France. She awaits me there.''

Rat Whips Cats and Dogs

From the New York Herald
 One of the house cats at the Bayonnc police headquarters in snooping about the cellar yesterday came upon a new litter of rats, which she began to devour. Their squeals attracted the mother rat. who was foraging not far distant. Like a flash the mother was in the nest defend ing the young. She inflicted several bites on the intruder's back and compelled the cat to flee. In few minutes the cat returned, accompanied by another cat and both attacked the mother rat The cats and the rat battled all about the room, and finally the cats retreatei upstairs. The rat followed the cats to the street, where it renewed the battle and again worsted the cats. By this time crowd of spectators was watching the fight Somebody called Charles Me Fees bulldog from across the street and set him on the rat, but after being bit ten several times in the paws and body the dog ran. with tail hanging low. The rat was so severely injured that a po- liceman shot her. The motherless young rats were drowned.

Classy Schiller Players at Biiou

The Classy Schiller players at the Bijou-they who scored the greatest Tit ever known in southern summer amusements last week in "The Girl of the Golden West" will present this week, commencing with the Monday night performance Mrs. Temples Tel egram,' a rich and rare comedy, spark ling with cleverness, bright as a new s10 gold piece, and one of the cleverest comedies ever written.
 That the classy Schiller players are versatile actors will be demonstrated in this long leap from drama to com sdy. That the theatre-g going public will delight in this comedy will be demonstrated on Monday night, for already there Is one of the largest de- mands of the entire season for the seats.
 Mrs. Temples Telegram" starts out with a little lie and It grows and grows and grows-just like the great oak that from a little acorn grew It all commences when MT. Temple is sus- pended by an accident at the top of a ferris wheel all night long. It so hap pens that in the same car with him IS Mrs. Fuller, the wife of his college chum and best friend, but whom he has never met before Temple shows up at home at daylight still in his dress suit. He tells the truth, his wife doubts him and he promises to prove it by his friend Brown, a fictitious person. age. He gives his wife an address and she telegraphs to verify the story, and, horrors of horrors, there happens to be a family named Brown living at the address given.
 In the meantime, however, Fuller appears on the scene and is intro duced to Mrs Temple as Brown. This brings on more complications and the structure work of lies. lies, lies grows greater and greater. Mrs. Fuller iinal- ly appears on the scene in search of her glasse, still further mixing up the situation. More lies are necessary, until finally there becomes such a labyrinth that each minute dozen new ones have to be told tC straight en out the others.
 The action of the play Is snappy, the situations are natural and full of comedy. Things happen thick and fast and the audience never gets over one laugh before there is another waiting or all the comedies that have been staged, few, if any, have had so much real cleverness as Mrs. Temples Tel egram.''
 opportunity will be presented for seeing the Schiller players in entire i.s' new roles. Miss Nora Shelby, who scored such a great hit last week as the girl in The Girl of the Golden Vest, will be seen as Mrs. Temple ..ie is considered one of the most yer tile leading women in stock and the atregoers will welcome the opportunity of seeing her in a fashionable part Miss Scott appears for the first time in the companion part to that of Miss shelby appearing as Mrs. Fuller Miss trrayber, the clever ingenue of the company, also makes her deput to Bir- mingham audiences in the part of Dor cthy, who is in love with Captain Sharp, the part played by Mir. Gordon.
