Max Greenberg, who was summing him
self in front Of the public school a
block away. He secured a fresh grip
on his club, and, taking pushcarts two
at jump, bounded toward the corner
Of Eldridge street.
At this juncture Abe committed a
breach of judgment Had he pro-
as he had quilted Aaron's store, no one
would have suspected him to be the
quarry Of the ensuing chase. The i'm
pulse to run was too strong, however,
and he took to his heels just as Max
Greenberg hove into sight. The next
moment he tr1pped over rejected head
Of cabbage, and his nemesis, in the
person Of Max, was literally upon him.
" If Max's aim had been poor on the
previous day, there were at least no
errors Of craftsmanship on this oc-
casion, and when Abe was arraigned
before the desk sergeant in the Ed
ridge street police station, one Of his
eyes was completely closed. while the
other was reduced to a mere slit.
Comes this here loafer into mein
store" said Aaron, land says he wants
to see some Silk, and before could
stop him at ALL he quick takes the
Silk, and runs away from mein store"
What dye want to take his silk
for?" the sergeant asked Abe.

His brother Pincus stole 1t from my
factory already, and gives 1t to him.
Six pieces black silk worth $780,"
'Black sillik!' Aaron exclaimed.

Silk In mein store. The store was
dark, and this here loafer thinks 1t
was black silk. 1t amt no such
thing. It's blue sillik!''
"Blue silk" Abe cried. THAT'S a
fine swindler. Why, actually the Teller
told me 1t was black silk"
"Swindler, hey?" the sergeant COM
mented. That's certainly tough on
you. He cheated you into stealing blue
silk instead of black silk. Next time
you steal black silk you want to see
that it's in the daylight, so that you
won't get stuck. Take him back, off,

Maybe it's a shortage in delivery,

Barney shook his head.

Abe sat down heavily and set his hat
back from his forehead.

A French General Who Loved His Sol
 diers and Proved It.
 Many men have been good soldiers and brave commanders who. neverthe. less, had no relish for lighting. Gen. eral Oudinot, famous In tue wars of NapclcOn. was a warrior of another type. He seemed. at all events, to love war for its own sake. His fiery temper and his idea! of a soldier are well exemplifed in the following:
 In July. 1895. when Oudinot was thir- weight years old, the emperor review ed the grcuadicrs at their camp 0t BOulogne. The customary maneuyerS were performed, and at the end Gen. eral Oudinot. in command of the gren. adiers. started tO march at the head of the line before Napoleon. He put the spurs to bis horse, and the steed baked The struggle was brief, for the eXaspcrated general drew his sword and gave the horse such a stab h the neck that in another moment the horse lay stretched upon the sand
 That night the commander of the grenadiers dined with the emperor, and in the course of the meal Napoleon said:
 "Is that the way you treat yOur | horses"
 Sire" said Oudiuot. "whrn any one knows not how to obey that is my method"
 The other story k even more grim Some one spoke to Oudinot about the deep affection which a general must cherish for his devoted troops.
 Love them.' he exclaimed. Do l love them: An. 1 think 1 do. l have had them all killed" There spoke the born fighter, who shirked no danger himself, and ac counted it the most euriable lot of a solder to die on the Washington | Star,

Latin America
 In Need of Finan-
 cial Assistance ByIOHN BARRETT. Director General ol the Psn>American Union

THE problem of the hour in
 Latin America is credits.
 This is not due to the fact that Latin America is inherently poor, for Latin America Is inher- ently rich. BUT THE WAR SUD- DENLY CUT OFF TIE CRED ITS ALREADY ESTABLISHED IN EUROPE AND PREVENTED IT FROM RECEIVING LARGE SUMS OF MONEY OWED TT BY EUROPE FOR RAW PRODUCTS.
 Another most important phase of the situation iS that all Latin America needs the capital of the United States just as much as 1t does its products in order to % ahead. Perhaps it would be nc exaggeration to say that the great CT portion of Latin America today Is much more in need of our money than it Is of our merchandise.
 IF THE INVESTMENT AND FL NANclAL INTERESTS OF THE UNITED STATES WOULD LOAN DURING THE NEXT YEAR FIVE HUNDRED MILLION DOLLARS TO LATIN AMERICA IT WOULD MAKE A DIFFERENCE INSIDE OF FIVE YEARS OF ONE BILLION FIVE HUNDRED MILLION DOLLARS IN THE TRADE OF THE UNITED STATES WITH THAT PART OF THE WORLD.
