Early Strategy.

The origin and the local color of the
following story is German. The spirit
of it is one which is not, perhaps, en-
tirely alien to American youth. Hans
and Fritz, two small boys, had gone to

pered him and he wanted to get rid
Of it. The German courtroom person
does not check your coat unless you
pay your fee. The fee was only a
penny, but Hans did not have the

Huh! It's dead easy" spoke up
Fritz. Give me your overcoat. I'll
take it to the man at the checking
place and say found it. He'll put it
away. When you are ready to go home
you go to him and ask ii anybody has

Plain to Him.

Among those visiting an art ex-
hibition held recently in Cincinnati
was an old German, who wandered
about, looking at the paintings with
interest. Finally. he stopped before
a portrait which showed man sit
ting in high-baclled chair. Tackled
to the frame was small white pla-
card, reading: "A portrait of J. F..
Jones, by himself
The aged Teuton read the card,
and then chuckled sarcastically:
''Vot fools is desc art beoples," he
muttered. Anybody dot looks at dot
picture would know dot Jones is by
himself. Nobody else is in der pic
ture''

HALLOWEEN MASQUES

The Observer believes in innova-

in the pursuit of our vocations.
Memory runneth not back to the
time wien the youth OF our land
gathered in small kncts on Hallow-
cen night TO make raids upon frCnt
gates, wagons, etc. In order to save
the people from the meaningless per-
pleXities of this trying evening, would
it not be well for our city authori-
ties to allow the youth and even
more aged, to mask uTOn that night
and promenade cur main streets for
few hours and enjoy themselves,
thence finish up with an enjoyable
dance or private house party. In this
way the crowd would be kept on our
main streets where they could be
easily policed, and much annoyance
be averted. Let the mayor issue an
order to that effect and give the
people a gala evening on Halloween.
