MAN HE WAS LOOKING FOR
Mr.. Outlets Could Give Steady Job to
Applicant With Such Quail
lfieaton.

Mr. Underdone Outlets, proprietor
of the Speedy cafe, was VIGOROUSLY
hard-hearted. The most weeping
widow who ever graced a melodrama
couldn't have wept a slice of stale
bread out of his restaurant without
the price. So, when a pale and timor-
GUS bum approached the desk and
made a fa1tering appeal, it was no
surprise to the lunch fiends to hear a
curt Nothing doing. Beat it." I'm
not a beggar," retorted the hungry
man. I'm willing to scrub floors or
wash dishes. I'm just out of prison
and nobody will give me work. I'm
starving" The proprietor portrayed
a faint interest. What we're you in
for?" he asked idly. "I'll tell you the
truth" explained the ex-convict Il

to take a 500 bill and split 1t In two
with razor. Then, I'd paste the
halves together, SO I'd have two cen
turtles, If the sucker didn't look on
both sides. It took EN- five years to
catch mel Mr.. Outlets beckoned the
ex-prisoner behind the bar. "Order
what you like on the house" he whis-
pered I've got a steady job for
you, I'll give you thirty a week to
slice the ham for my sandwiches. -

HUMoR DIsFIeURED BABY

Clarendon, N. C.--"My baby was
broken out with a red, thick and
rough-looking humor when about two
months old. 1t would come in patches
and went almost all over her in that
way. The places were like ringworm
and as they would spread they would
turn red and make sores and itch.
The trouble went to her face and
disfigured her badly. Her clothes ir-
ritated 1t.

cura Soap and Ointment and / got a

see change in the redness and in

TO STOP COTTON WATERING
British Government Plan to Adopt
Legislation Against Practice
In India.

London. Communications are now
passing between the India Office and
the Indian government on the Ques-
ton Of Lord Crewe's suggestion that
legislation should be passed to pro
hibit the watering Of cotton in India.
Up to the present the Indian gov
eminent has steadily declined on va
rious grounds to undertake legisla-
ton against adulteration in general,
but the practice of watering cotton
after ginning to increase its weight
has assumed such proportions that
the government now feels that some
attempt must be made to stop 1t by
executive action.
Although Indian cotton contains as
a rule less water than American,
Egyptian or Chinese, yet it is we'll
known that in the cotton districts in
India pumps and hose appliances are
used, without any attempt at secrecy,
to saturate the cotton with water,
which is not always OF the cleanest,
the idea being to cheat the buyer by
selling him water for cotton at so
much a pound Another form of adult
iteration is mixing. The ryot seems
unable to resist the temptation to mix
his damaged or discolored bolls with
his sound ones, but even if he does
the result is vitiated by the action OF
the middIeman, who promptly mixes
inferior cotton with the good.

with a circus wagon at midnight it
liberated one tiger and eight lions,
and Leipsic was in an uproar until
daylight.

a panic among the thousands here to
attend the celebration Of the centen-
NAL of the Battle of Nations"
The woman trainer OF the animals
recaptured the tiger, but the lions
had merry time until the police
killed six and roped two. One lion
leaped to the drivers seat Of a mo-
tor bus and dispossessed the chauf-
feur, to the discontinue of the pas
sengers. A policeman shot the beast
from his perch Five other lions were
shot down in me streets. Two more
leaped through the plateglass front of
the Butcher hotel and held high car
nival in the corridors all night. The
hotal was crowded with guests who
had attended the military celebration.
The guests, screaming with terror,
barricaded themselves in their rooms
and distracted clerks with calls for
help. Some were for escaping through
windows, but quickly crawled back
when they saw the turmoil in the
streets below.
The police reserves, the fire depart
ment and the troops CHARTERED with
out the town were called on to capture
the lions and restore order A thick
fog added to the terror Of the night
and the whole city was in a panic.
