COCKNEY REPARTEE.

A young gentleman with a very
plain face was rather annoyed
because his view of the stage was
obstructed by the hat of a pretty
girl who was sitting in front of
him in the gallery of a London
music hall. Wishing to get a
glimpse of the performance, he
plucked up courage and, in a ner-
vous voice, exclaimed: See here,
miss, | want to look as well as
you" "oh, do yer?" she replied
in a rich cockney accent, as she
turned round and looked at him
square in the eye. Then you'd
better run 'ome and change yeI

PRINCE ETHEL SAVES
LIVES Of HOSTAGES
Won Kluck Would Have Ordered

Paris-When the German troops oc-

chief officials of the town as hostages
for an indemnity of 5000, 900. which
the officials protested was impos-
sible to provide as all the wealthy in
habitants had fled.
The German general threatened to
have the hostages shot IL in the
midst of this scene a tall u Of
f1cer entered.
Won Kluck clicked his heels and
saluted; then followed a short COL
loquy with the unknown officer to
whom the general showed extraor-
binary Difference.
The hostages were led out into the
streets and placed with their backs
against the wall while IL soldiers COW
cred them with rifles. For nearly 20
minutes the hostages faced the muz-
zles of the rifles. not knowing when

Suddenly from above came the loud
drone OF an aeroplane. The %aeroplane
descended and brought the bad news
that French forces were approaching

getting their prisoners. made a dash

Robbina Helpless Immigrants.

From the Chicago RecOrd-Herald
The secretary of labor. Mr.. Wilson.
serves notice on an investigation of al
legged employment agencies in and near
Chicago. that are exploiting and robbing
the poor. bewildered alien in search of
tary says. has come to him to the effect
that swindlers sell to immigrants litera-
ture which the government is only too
anxious to distribute gratis: that trans
portation is ''obligingly' obtained by the
same takers at double the actual rates.
and so on.
1t would be a serious mistake to SUPPOSE.
that these abuses are peculiar to Chicago
or western centers of alien population.
They are. alas, general. 1t was the New
York bureau of labor that startled the
COUNTRY by declaring in a bulletin full of
depressing particulars that Everybody
robs the immigrant"
OF course not everybody robs the alien.
He has many friends. organized and UNI
organized. He needs more, however. Too
many leeches of his own race and lam
guage are ready to prey upon him. In
deed. as has been said. the worst enemies
OF the newcomer are those who know him
best and who are in a position to pose as
his guides and counselors.
The federal and state authorities can
not investigate fake agencies too often or
100 vigorously. and no punishment would
be too severe for convicted %scoundrels of
the type described. But punishment is
not sufficient. The need. as was pointed
out at the biennial the other day, is for
more and better official and private
agencies that have the welfare of the be-
wildered. tongue-tied newcomer at heart
and that know how to protect and help
him.
