Apparently well situated financially, the owner of two horses, a COW, and his place of residence at Jackson and Madison avenues, Samuel Lampier with his wife and family Of four children uses as place of abode a one-story one-room shanty formerly occupied by a. cobbler.

Parents StiI Wait for Boy Who Went
 to War In 1899.

MinnepaIis, Minn., Jan. 19-Though the suspicion grows that a soft-nosed bullet and an African veldt may hold the secret of their boys failure to re- turn from the Boer war, MT. and Mrs. William Rice, >156 Rondo street, St. Paul, have not Qnwrapped or thrown away the little English plum pudding that they made for his Christmas dinner 16 years ago. The pudding, his favorite dish, reposes in a bureau waiting his return.
 The sons name is John Rice, and although his parents call him their boy,' he was an adult when he went to war in behalf of his fathers ceun- try. His name never appeared among
 nose of the dead and wounded.v
 The story of the watchful waiting parents became known when William Rice took presents to Mrs. Rice. who is at St, Paul City hospital because of 9 broken leg. The last word from John was received in 1899, and came on a postal card.

f Phaleron, where the Allies have landed troops, according to advices from Berin, lies southwest of Athens, on which is also Piraeus, the port of the Greek capital, at which place sol- diers have also been landed. Pha1- eron, which is a small place, anciently known as Pha1erun. is a favorite shore resort of the residents of Athens, from which it is about four miles dis tant Berlin interprets the action of the Allies in landing troops at these two ports as meaning the entente is fonenting and preparing the over throw of the Greek government in or der to substitute a republic with Ven- ize1os at it's head. Piraeus is the sec o1ad largest city of Greece. It has a large and excellent harbor.

the inconvenience as a result of no
organized transportation ror the pub
lie.
According to a number of store
owners and managers, many of the
shoppers are afraid to come downtown
to buy because of the possibility OF
strike trouble and riots. A loss in
trade has resulted according to the
owners.
In addition to a falling off in busi-
ness, many of the employees living in
outlying districts and nearby towns,
have no assurance of transportation,
unless the business houses employing
them, furnish autos so that they can
get back and forth from work This is
an additional worry and Inconvenience

Employees. too, are complaining, as
