A Tragedy


Sam Tearny had Corinthian neck
and fuzzy, pale eyebrows, square jaw
and would have been thrown out of a
beauty contest unanimously. Romance
to him was something to be classed
with measles and other blights of the
human race. and when the hideous fact
was made evident to him that his
brother Jimmy was aware, and more
than aware, that the Billings sisters
had established millinery shop at
the corner of the block where the
Tearnys' dry goods and mems furnish
ings store held sway he was beyond
words.
"Watchu think you're doing?" he
growled, after Jim had dashed to the
glass front to cast smile and bow
toward one Of the Billings sisters
hurrying past. "Are you selling gents
furnishings or are you dealing in
feathers and wire frames now?"
Jaw, you make me tired!" was Jim's
brotherly response. Cant be polite
to lady? 1t wouldn't hurt you il you
spruced up bit yourself!"
Sam snorted his disgust and grabbed
Il paper of pins for a small girl who
had asked for knitting needles. He
saw situation ahead of him and was
bewildered at the thought of handling
It. 1t stood to reason that Jim would
be saved from himself and preserved
to happy bachelor life. Secretly Sam
Tearny thought his brother Jim re-
markably handsome.
Sam felt that the blonde Billings girl
with the twinkling eyes and pretty
hair would leave no stone unturned to
grab Jimmy If she could beguile him
into giving her chance. Certainly
she was an empty-headed girl who
knew nothing but how to stick roses

GAS STRICKEN MEN
LAUGH HISTORICALLY
Laughing Gas" Component of
German Fumes

NEW YORK-Eros Curtin, a New
York chemist who recently returned
on the American liner st. Louis from
Liverpool, saw the effect of the gas
used by the Germans in Flanders.
Mr.. Curtain was in the field with
the allied armies. He. described the
gas as of three kinds, chlorine, bro
mine and so-called laughing gas. The
last, he said, is of kind that para
lyzes the men from the waist down
and causes them to flop about like
fish out of water and laugh hysterical-
ly.
Sodium sulphate and oxygen were
used to neutralize these gases, he said
but these were ineffective if not TAX
en- soon after the gas had been in
hailed. Even then, he said, it takes
at least six hours to revive the men.
