a political refugee from Russia many
years ago, offered no resistance whom
federal agents began the search Of his
book store. though he at first denied

UNCLE JOHNS PIPE

Willie Bells papa did not smoke,
and there were no big brothers in
the house to use tobacco. So Will
lie was six years old before he
knew much about it.
At that time his Uncle John came
to live with them, and he was
great smoker. He had long,
beautiful pipe, and every evening
he would have a smoke from it.
Willie admired it greatly. He
would watch the smoke as it curl
ed from Uncle Johns lips, and he
would say, "Just wait till I'm
man, and I'm going to smoke too"
One day his mother went away
and left Willie with the house girl.
After playing around awhile he
went upstairs, into Uncle Johns
room. On the mantel lay the pref
ty pipe. He took it in his hands
and looked it over and over. Then
he thought he would play that he
was smokign like Uncle John. He
put the pipe in his mouth and gave
one puff. Oh, what mean taste!
But then Uncle John did not care
for that, and Willie thought he
must not. He puffed away for
some time. Pretty soon he began
to have a strange feeling come
over him, and he went downstairs.
When his mother came she won
dered why Willie did not run to
meet her. But she found him on
the sofa, so pale and sick that she
was very much frightened. She
took him in her arms, and bent
over to kiss the pale lips. She
started back, and said, why, VIII
lie, what have you been doing with
tobacco" Willie hesitated a mo-
ment, and then he told his mother
all about his smoke. She told him
it was the smoking that made him
SO sick. For several hours Willie
was quite i'll. But the next morn
ing he SAID to his mama, 81 have
changed my mind about smoking.
l will never, never smoke when
I'm a man. | don't see how Uncle
John can like anything so mean as
tobacco.
After that when Uncle John
smoked he had to listen to little
lecture from Willie on using tobac-
co. In turn he would always laugh
at Willie's attempt at smoking

ed-the young woman or the low
able monkey.
Where the monkey came from is
a question. The zoo keeper at City
park says all his monkeys are "just
where they should be-" and that
none of them would be ungentle-
manly enough to leave home and
try to hug pedestrians.
Residents of the Montclair dis
trict joined in the hunt A tree to
tree search was made by the posse,
including an examination of the
nursery at Eighth avenue and Clay

Simian was last sighted and final

House by Mr.. Shreve, as head of the
organization, in which the Presidents
opinion as to the primary was asked,
expressly stated that the projectors of

with plans for 1t in case 1t would en-

an inquiry made this morning of White
House officials as to whether the Pres

sponse to the letter from the fedora
ton asking for an audience. When
Mr. Shreve telephoned the White House
this morning asking for Information it
