eRoUcHY PLAYED sLEUTH
Somewhat Mean Trick to Do, But He
Found Out Which Boy Had
Broken His Window.

Grouchy neighbor. cane in hand,
confronted the Giant Juniors at first
base, which happened to be a lamp
post.
(Which of you young rascals batted
the ball that broke my upstairs win

ment menacingly with his stick.
Each member of the team looked as
innocent as china doll. None spoke.
Then an idea came to the grouchy
neighbor. He permitted smile to
drive away the look of anger on his
face.
Say, boys" he said merrily, Il was
only joking about that window pane.
/ used to play baseball myself when
was boy, and have been much IN

me you are little weak in batting

knock a ball over that corner house. :
Eight pair of eyes turned toward
Splinters, the wizard pitcher of the
Giant Juniors, and Splinters himself,
never unwilling to pose for the spot

Oats where you're wrong, mister,
he said. IF yer'd ben here five min

LITTLE TIME FOR SENTIMENT
Bird House Attendants All Too Busy
to Bother About Legendary
Stories or Myths.

The visitor approached one OF the
gayly uniformed attendants who spend
their days in the bird house of the
Bronx park geological gardens. This
privileged being must, she thought,
have imbibed at least touch of senti.
ment.
isn't there" she asked, some
story, some myth, connected with that
pigeon which has on it's breast the red
splotch like blood from bullet
wound?"
STORY? Myth? Git off! Course
there amt no story about it. It's just
a red feather or so-that's all. The
bird was born that way. Seer"
But where do they come from?
There must be a story, some"

'em. AS to where they grow, | think
it's the Philippines"
A slightly more affable attendant
did disclose the name of the pigeon.
1t was called blood-breasted, and 1t
did come from the Philippines. But II
there was story-and there must
have been-none Of the liveried infor-
nation bureaus knew it. No sentiment
for them! They only said, Keep to
the right" when the inquirer became
too persistent.-New York Evening

Neat, attractive, five-room bunga-
lows are in great demand in towns,
villages, and in the outskirts of large
cities.
American ingenuity has met all diff
hculties and adjusted this type of
building to the satisfaction of build
ers and owners and the public in gen.
eral, with the exception only of coyet-
GUS neighbors who are not fortunate
enough to own bungalows.
The perspective and floor plan here

The general arrangement is to place
the house about twenty feet back from

The depth of the house is Al feet 6
inches, which brings the rear of the
building about sixty feet from the
street line.
A bungalow setting requires consid.

Washington, Sept. 3.--(Special. -
The efforts Of Enrique Llorente, chief
of the Villa agency in Washington, to
bring about peace parley between
himself and Eliseo Arrcdondo, Carran.
"a Is representative here, have been
stcrnly rebuffed by Arredondo. Car.
ranza's envoy maintains that his chief
is near victory, and that it would be
useless to compromise with Villa when
the latter will soon be overwhelmed
anyway.
1t is through Arredondo that com
munications Of the Mexican "first
chief" are submitted to the state de-
partment. With the other members of
the junta he lives in the Mexican en-
bassy, which was bought some years
ago by the Mexican government for
its diplomatic representative and which
was taken possession Of after HueTta
was driven out of Mexico by the Car
rama representatives in Washington.
Arredondo is u first cousin of General
Carranza on his mothers 3 side and is Il
native Of the state Of Coahuila, where
the Carranza family has lived for years.
Before the revolution he was federal
district judge and later when Madero
came into power was member Of the
lower house Of the Mexican congress.
After that he was secretary of govern

New York, Sept. 3.-What Germany

spokesman to announce that Germany
would continue to fight until this free

fine it in detail nor has any German

1t is a curious fact that there is so
much vagueness regarding the basic

Diplomats of Washington,

By @. p, Stewart.

Omitted Press staff correspondent
Washington, Sept 3.-Peace is in the
air here today.
Pessimists are little needed.
Due note has been taken that Great
Britain is not enthusiastic over the Ger
man memorandum accepting American
terms in the submarine controversy.
The sem-official statement from the
White House that President Wilson will
take no step until it is desired by
both sides is not overlooked, 1t is
conceded that Germany's peace terms,
tentatively outlined by Ambassador
Bernstorff, must be limited and perhaps
modified before the allies will accept.
Nevertheless, the developments were
regarded as tending toward peace.
1t was recently limited that Ger
many's concessions to the United States
in the submarine controversy "might
be" of such nature as to lead to furth
cr negotiations in the Fright direc-
tion.p

they believe events are moving with
