JURER ROUGHLY HANDLED
Another, Also "Invisible," Hurt BY

Chauffeur.

Chicago, Dec 3. - George A. Pu.
pausky, a banker-conjurer, recently
released from the house, of correction
where he was sent by Judge Lands
to serve a six months sentence for
selling invisibility ointments and love
charms, has been arrested again. Pu.
pausky sold Anton Lokoritz, a fellow
countryman, black cats ear to make
him invisible. Lokoritz gladly paid
$26 for the charm and put the ear,
according to directions, in his left
waist coat pocket.
Confident in his invisibility Lokor.
itz then entered a saloon with the pro.
prietor of which he was not on friend.
ly terms. He stepped behind the bar
and began to help himself to bottled
goods. The bartender Immediately
fell on Lokoritz and hustled him into
the street. &
why, you can't see me- How did
you know I was there?" exclaimed Lo-
koritz in bewilderment.
II saw you all right. Keep out Of
here" admonished the bartender.
Lokoritz went to Pupausky's house,
thinking something must be amiss.
He did not see the conjuror but was
met by a woman who heard his COM
plant.
"The trouble u.s. she said, that you
should have had magic bean. The
cats ear is no good without the bean"
Lokoritz bought bean and returned
to the saloon. No one noticed him and
he thought this time he had the right
magic. He went behind the bar again
but was deserted without difficulty by
the bartender, who elected Lokoritz
more theoretically than before so that
he had several bruises to show the po-
lice when he made his complaint.
Another man bought a black cats
ear and was run over soon after by an
automobile. The man did not make q
complaint, his friends said, because he
was invisible and could not blame the
chauffeur for not seeing him.

1t is understood that the armistice
will extend for about a fortnight if
necessary and cover the whole field
of operations. The difficulty with re-
spect to the beleaguered garrisons Of
Adrianople and Scutari is being sur
mounted by permitting them to re-

The plenipotentiaries appear to
have been concerned so far solely in
arranging the armistice, but a peace
conference is expected.

A strong feeling is entertained that
the last shot in the war will have
been fired when the armistice Is
signed.
There is little doubt that the peace
negotiations will be difficult and pro.
tracted. The question of holding a
European ambassadorial conference
still is undecided, but the information
al situation is much more peaceful.
The Servian government denies the re-
ported preparations for a conflict with
Austria, while the Austrian press is
