The Man In Rags.


The Marquise d'Esclignac, under the
stars, interviewed the native soldier,
the beggar, the man In rags, at the
foot of the veranda. There was moon
as well az stars, and the man was dis
tinctly visible in all his squalor.
What on earth is he talking about,
Robert?'
About Sabron, marianne" said her
godson laconically.
The Marquise d'Esclignac raised her
lorgnon and said:
Speak. man! What do you know
about Monsieur de Sabron? See, he is
covered with dirt-has leprosy, proba.

was great lady and stood her ground
She did not know what the word
"sQueamish" meant.
Listening to the mans jargon and
putting many things together, fremont
at last turned 10 the Marquise d'Es-

"Mademoiselle Redmond has already
seen this man. He has come to see
her tonight"
How perfectly horribIe." said the
Maruuise d'Esclignac. Then she asked
rather weakly Of fremont: Don't you

"Oh!" said the Marquise d'Eselignae
Il don't know what to do. Bob! What
part can we take in this?"
fremont pulled his mustache Mimi

at his slippers and robe. The man
made no objection to the little erea-
ture, to the funny ball surrounded b. a

down in the moonlight, at the beggar's
feet.

Now the man. who had been silent

HAD THE LAUGH ON HIMSELF
MIser Got Away With the Oatmeal
and Also Succeeded In Saving
Precious Whisky.

]. F. Hartz of Detroit, the doyen OF
the American Surgical Trade associa-
ton, said at the fiftieth annual con-
vention in New York:
'The war has kited the price of car
bolic acid up to $1.65 a pound-it sold
before the war at cents pound. The
hospitals that use carbolic acid now
have to be as economical and sparing
as old Josh Lee.
old Josh Lee was miser, and he
breakfasted every morning on oat-
meal. To save fuel he cooked his
weeks supply of oatmeal on Sundays.
This supply, by the time Saturday
came around, was pretty stir and
tough and hard to down.
"one Saturday morning old Josh
found his oatmeal particularly unap-
petizing. 1t had a crust on it like
iron. He took mouthful of the cold,
stiff mixture-then he half rose, think
Ing he'd have to cook himself some
eggs.
But he hated to give in. He hated
to waste that oatmeal. So he took
out the whisky bottle, poured gem
erous glass and setting 1t before his
plate, he said:
Now, Josh, II you eat that oatmeal
you'll get this whisky; and If YOU
don't you won't
The oatmeal was hard to consume.
but Josh, with his eye on the whisky,
managed 1t. Then, when the last
spoonful was gone, he grinned broad
ly, poured the whisky back into the
bottle again, and said:
Josh, my son, fooled you that
time, you old idiot! w Washington

NOW 'PHONING ACROSS TIKI
ATLANTIC

1t is announced by the American
Telephone & Telegraph Company
that on several different occasions
during the past two weeks its en-.
gineers have succeeded in transmit
ting clear, understandable speech
across the Atlantic Ocean between
the United States government station
at Arlington, Va, and the Eiffel
Tower station at Paris, France, a
distance of some 3 800 miles. It is
understood that the same apparatus
was used as that employed in the
recent Arlington to San Francisco
and Hawaii tests. The present feat
although it was generally believed
to be within the range of immediate
accomplishment since previous tests
demonstrated the possibilities of COW
ering greater distances under less
favorable conditions, In travelling
from Arlington to San Francisco and
Hawaii the waves passed over some
$500 miles of land and number of
tall mountain ranges-has caused
much surprise. The EiHe1 Tower
station is a military establishment
and handles great volume oftraffic
between the seat of the French gov
eminent and the scattered forces of
the republic, SO that the use of the
station at this time for the expert
ments was hardly believed. How
ever, the engineers were permitted to
use the station at certain intervals
and for only short time, which
naturally made the conditions of the
tests most difficult. - Scientific

Gates of more soldiers and more

making elaborate preparations for
war during several decades before
she brought the fact about. During
the same time this country was pre-

ferent, in all probability, than had
