WOULD HAVE MADE TRADE
Disguised Drummer Was Willing to Accept Joking Offer if tho Law
 Had Allowed 1t.

A travelling salesman for a Ganse- voort street wholesale grocery firm, recently back from trip through the rough lands of eastern Pennsylvania, tells this possibly true tale:
 One day on my last trip I had a six-mile ride to make to the county seat, and the small village in which I was had only one horse that I could hire and no other form of convey ance. I may say that friend had lanIed me in the town that morning from his car and I had sold goods enough to pay the expenses of the trip.
 Well, got away on the sorriest specimen of horse I ever straddled, and I was, to send him back by mail carrier, though not as parcel post package. It took me two hours to cover the distance-I was sorry enough I hadn't walked-and as passed the county jail on my old bag of bones face grinned at me from between the bars of small square window. I was too sore to smile, but I nodded to the grin, and the prison CT called tome:
 Say, mister he said, how'd you like to trade that critter for 30 days in jail?'
 "Just then I would have been glad enough to have traded, but the law wouldn't let me, anG I rode on.''- New York Sun

 Oh, yes, you remember how it mrned out, don't you? The men that Huggins gave away "fivvered''-and the five he got rounded into stars and enabled the Cardinals to make a great fight for the pennant in 1914.
 Since then Higgins has been known as the David Harum" of baseball. A dozen times since then Higgins has tried to make trades-and just about as often has he been baked.
 Gosh, it's awful" laments 'Huggins. "I believe if I wanted to trade "Slim" Sallee and Catcher Snyder for a pair of bat boys I couldn't make a deal. Every one of the other managers would think had few cards up my sleeve" |"

CLARK l. IS DANDY" GIRL
Youth of Sixteen Lands in City Jail, Whereupon De tails of Dual Life Are Re vealed and Mystery of Robbers is Cleared Up

Chester Clark when appropriately looking girl. He is about 16 years old and from his own story told in q cell in the police station yesterday has been leading a dual life for some time. Sometimes 1t is just plain Chester Clark. At other times he is a budding maiden with no end of admirers. That he could carry on this pleasing deceit. Chester maintained modest quarters in an adobe building on South Seventh street, just over the city line. There he was free to makeup" as lie pleased. He was taken to dances, the picture shows and the soda water establishments by love-sick swains. None ever suspected just how they had been duped.
 Of course the youth could not keep up his game without a base of supplies and this led to his arrest yesterday by Policeman Wilkerson. For on his own confession the boy has been thieving and selling the fruits of his labor. No less than l'iS-NCN' at his door after his humble abiding place had ben searched and a large quantity of articles recovered.
 Somehow when a robbery was re- ported from 145 South First avenue late Friday night, Policeman Willer- son suspected Clark of having had something to do with it. Clark was taken into custody yesterday and while there was nothing learned con- meeting him positively with that rob- bery, he told of his room and gave the officers information concerning the articles found there that cleared up several previously mysterious robberies.
 Shortly after bel-- locked up the youth admitted that ne had entered and robbed the Adams school, two places on South Seventh street, a candy store on South First avenue. some rooms on West Lincoln street. and other places. The recovered property includes womens clothing, fur collars and boas, picture hats. filmy gowns and even sharp toed shoes such as are worn in a ball room by the belle of fashion.

 BOOZE SHIPMENT
Winkelman Authorities Re port Weird Disappearance of Trunkfnl of Bourbon That Mysteriously Ar rived in Thirsty City
Especial to The Republican,

tSDeCidl lO HG
 WINKEI MAN, Nov. G. Hark ye, gentle and thirsty reader, to the tale of the truthful of booze which came to the city of Winkelman and then disappeared again in manner quite as mysterious as that in which it came. This story has to do with the adventures of q Saratoga trunk filled with perfectly good and ancient ex- tract of BourboniZed corn.
 The trunk arrived here yesterday on an afternoon train, and, after it had been unloaded, it's appearance eX- cited the suspicious of an eagle-eyed minion of the law and he promptly placed the trunk under arrest. That is to say, he seized it, and upon ex- amining it discovered it contained 12S full quart bottles of whisky.
 The cargo of red-eye was placed in the baggage-roOm at the depot for alleged keeping. However, when the station agent opened up the room this morning, he was startled to find that someone had been there before him. and that the trunk load of tan glefoot had disappeared.
 There was absolutely no clew as to who had perpetrated the deed, but it is said that the inebriated condition of several of the towns characters today would lead a keen observer to believe that the contents of the Sara toga had been widely distributed among certain of them.

Obregon. who is in Agua Prieta, across the border, is in constant communication tonight with Carranza officials at Naco, where it is said preparations are under way for the Carranza forces to take the field. Obregon refused to state whether he would assume command of the forces against Villa, or return to Torreon. That is a military secret" he said. The CarranZa chief confided that he had official information that leaders of former Governor Maytorena's party in Sonora have protested to Villa against his continued presence in Sonora and of conditions in other portions of Mexico.
 General Funston announced tonight that he had changed his plans and would not leave tomorrow. This an nouncement was made after the gen. eral held conferences with men inti- mate with the situation in that part of Sonora controlled by Villa parti- sans. General Funston also had conversation tonight with Dr. R. H. Thigpen, one of the four Americans whom Villa reported killed after he had three times been condemned to be shot and then released.
 Among other reports received by the general was one concerning the footing by General Villas soldiers of six stores at Cananea, belonging to subjects of Turkey.
 Statements that James Wripple, Lynn Hatch and Charles Sterling, Mormon colonists of Casas Grandes were being held by Villa against their will at Naco proved erroneous, when the men told friends who visited them today that they were at Naco voluntarily and intended to leave for their homes soon.

GOOD IDEA

The serious looking. man was trying hard to listen to the speakers elo- quence, but the squalling of an infant in the row of seats directly ahead gave him little opportunity. Annoyance gave way to irritation, and irritation in turn was superseded by resolve. He leaned forward, touched the mother on the shoulder and in a dispassionate tone asked.
 Has your baby been christencd yet?"
 Why, no sir Why do you ask ?'
 Merely because I was about to sug gest that if he had not been christened you might name him Good Idea
