That Particular Evening.

Irwin Cobb, the humorist. was in
Chicago recently and left this story
behind.
Down in Paducah, two darkies ran
rival restaurants on the same street.
Into one of these places one evening
came a six-foot white man, who or
dered and ate with gusto dozen oys-
tiers. three lamb chops. fried chick
en-. some sweet potatoes and an order
of celery. When he had finished. he
drew from his pocket a large clasp
knife, opened it and began toying with
the blade.
What kind OF place is that res

''Tain't much of a place" said the
proprietor.

fellow had the nerve 10 charge me?"
Il dunno, sah." replied the negro
timorously cycling the knife.
He charged me a quarter. And
took out my knife and cut off his ears
and flung them in his face. Then

EnuIlsh ExclusIveness.

The Englishman, as everyone
knows, is inclined to be individual and
independent. If not exclusive. He Is
happy with his family in his country
mansion, where a high hedge insures
seclusion. and permits only the chin
neys OF his house to be seen from
the road. He does not crave excite
ment and conviviality. He prefers the
quiet and peace OF the semi-rural SUI
burb to the whirl of the city. He does
not like to be within too easy access
OF the malestrom. The automobile
and the train and trolley care are
quite speedy enough. With his family
about him, and the city and its busi-
ness cares at safe distance. the Eng
lishman is happy.-Suburban Life.

 PARCELS POST

Washington, Jan. 1O-High Cost of Living will have a big fall taken out of it if plans formulated by Washintou women who belong to the Housekeeper's Alliance can be carried through. Perfection oS the
 lans, say leaders of the Alliance, will mean complete elimination of the middleman and the middleman's profits. Although even the most sanguine of the leaders do not be- ueve perfection will be reached, they express confidence that a long stride toward material saving in the pur- chase of such household goods as milk, eggs and truck farm products will result.
 The plan is to make as full use ot the parcel post as is possible The chiei problem discussed today was the matter of practicable con Jainers for milk and eggs. The plan is to get into personal touch with farmers throughout Maryland and Virginia and to get household goods direct from the producers via parcel post. Whether the Alliance will appoint agents to canvas the farmers or whether the women will canvas by mail was not settled to- day. This question will be taken up later. It was decided however, to begin al once a campaign among Washington housewives to increase membership in the Alliance so that goods cau be purchased in large enough quantities to mutually ben eft the producer and the purchaser. Only by buyin in large quantities, it was declared, can the farmers be brought into line and sell at such prices as will mean real saving for the cOUGTmers.
