IA Russians First Encounter With
English In London.

English In London.
A Russian tells a funny story of his
first encounter with the English Ian
lguage.
The day after his arrival in London
he made call ON friend in Park
lane and on leaving inscribed in his
notebook what be supposed TO be the
correct address.
, The next day, desiring to go to the
same place again. he called cabman
and pointed TO the address that he had
written down. The cabman looked him
lover. cracked his whip and drove away
without him
This experience being repeated with
two or three other cabmen. the Rus
sian turned Indignantly 10 the police,
with no better results. One officer
would laugh, another would tap his
head and make Il motion initiating the
revolution of a wheel. and so on.
Finally the poor foreigner gave it
up and with a great deal OF difficulty.
recalling the landmarks which he had
observed the day before, found his way
to his friends house. Arrived there
and in company with one who could
understand him. he delivered himself
of a severe condemnation OF the cab
men and the police of London for their
Impertinence and discourtesy.
His friend asked for a look at the
mirth provoking address and the mys-
terry was solved. This was the entry:
Ring the Bell"

electric light or gas business, where
the business has municipal monopoly
on the product which 1t supplies to
the user. If this sort of business is
properly run there Is little chance of
loss"
Mr.. Dawes then names several class
es of investments which he distinctly
advised against
"One OF these" he said, is invest
ment in erecting large Office buildings
The tendency OF the times is to pro
period Of maximum demand. The mo-
ment there is falling off OF business
from its highest point the first to feel
1t are the Office buildings, where the
persons who occupy the space re-
trench on space or move to cheaper
QwaDters. I make the assertion that
Investment in Office buildings is not
profitable investment.
WARNS AGAINST "BIG RETURNS
stay away by all means from in
vesting in the propositions offered you
which promise big returns When
you buy that stock you buy something
you know nothing about and know
nothing about the persons who are
back of the proposition.
Not more than per cent OF the
persons who invest in propositions Of
this sort ever make any money on
them. Because the promoters word
their literature in such way as to
make the proposition look profitable
/ Is no reason why you should invest
! in it,
In generalizing on the faculty OF sue
cess IN opening his talk, the speaker
said he found the persons who rose in
the business world were those who
carried their business with them after
Office hours, and belonged to clubs
and organizations Of men also engaged
in the same general line Of business

for onions than any other kind OF
vegetables, broke into two freight
cars situated near the Lehigh Valley

standing on the bridge over the Gen.
trail railroad tracks at Hall avenue
about 11:45 o'clock last night his
suspicious became aroused when he
saw a man carrying large bag on
his shoulders. The officer leaped
over the railing of the bridge and
ran after the stranger. He found 1t
was Kubik, who said the bag contain
ed potatoes and he had secured them
from a place in New Brunswick ave-
nue..

of any wrong-doing and calmly led
the officer to the freight cars, which
he confessed to having broken open.

city patrol. Kubik, the potatoes he
carried, and the four bags of onions
he claimed to have thrown out of
one OF the cars were taken to police
