Rube Buys A bruised Head.

Rube Hinkle and Mary, his wife,
moved in town from the country not
long ago and while Rube hunted for a
job Mary sat around and played ping
pong with the neighbors. Last We'd
nesday Rube got a job as a barber
and Mary still played. Rube began to
kick about the dishes, no clean clothes,
beds not made and goodness knows
what not.
Coming to the city went to Mary's
head and she saw other women loaf
ing around and did likewise. Rube's
patience gave out and he locked her
out. Mary heaved brick through the
window and it hit Rube on the head.
Rube didn't care so much about his
head. but he had to buy new glass
and that's not all. He paid SO for
Mary's fine.

Oh, Listen, Mista Hooya,

Ammunition is important these days,
but food is much more important
Judge Pugh decided this question yes
terday morning when he sent Sam
Hawkins to OccoQuan for thirty days
Sam got his snoot full of gin and was
very wabbly when he was put in a
cage. But Jedge," said Sam, "Ah
works in a munition plant and dis
yere country needs all the bombs II
can get to kill the Germans"
Don't you know we have an am
munition factory at Occoquan?" asked
the court. ''They are short of farm
hands at Occoquan and 1 think you
will fit in very nicely. We must have
food before we can shoot guns. AS
far as bombs or buns are concerned,
they run loose anywhere. I think you
will have a better time working
where they produce food than working
in a dangerous place in which you
might get hurt" Sam shook his head
and stopped arguing.
And Elijah Came Forth.
For little while on Four-and-a-half
street southwest Friday afternoon
folks thought that an unbleached
Lefty Louis or Gyp the Blood was
loose. A man was coming up the
street swinging a gun and had
everybody scared. But it was just
Elijah Saunders on a "toot" with an
imitation glass pistol all nice and
shiny.
A cop who knew just what was
what grabbed Elijah and put him
where the ravens can't get to him
Elijah woke up yesterday morning
with a headache as big as all out
doors and with as much ambition as a
wet rag. He WAS so sorry that Judge
Pugh paroled him for six months.
That's So, Va. Is Dry.
Judge I live IN Charlottesville
Va" said Thornton Spruce, ar
raigned for inundating his innards
with whiskey. What did you get
drunk for?" asked Judge Pugh. 81
took a drink and 1t went to my
head" said Spruce. Where else did
you expect it to go? asked the court.
Il have enough money to take me
16 miles away from here" Spruce
came back.
well do you think you can walk
the other 100 miles? asked Judge
Pugh? And besides, continued the
court, 81 can't see why you want
the bartender to get 100 miles of your
fare back home"
Spruce can get liquor in his home
town but it's poor stuff and when he
gets up against the real thing in this
city it just naturally knocks him.
He promised the court to stay away
from town and was paroled.
Just An Old Acquaintance.
"Well, Elmer, 1 see you are back
again." said Judge Pugh to George
Elmer. 81 am a little different this
time, Judge" replied Elmer. This
time went to the station house my
self, they didn't have to take me
there. How long do you want me
to send you DOWN." asked the court.
II don't want to go down at all"
answered Elmer, but do the best you
can for me-
"It all depends" said Judge Pugh,
on what you call the best, land 1t
it may mean six months or one
month, and I don't want to send you
down either, but you are here and
I take it for granted that you want

NEW ENGLAND IS
 ASSURED OF COAL SUPPLY
Five New England Governors in
 Washington to Urge Haste.

Washington. Oct. 26.-Ffve New England governors who called at the fuel administration today to insist that their states get more coal and a steadier supply, were ossured that the government already was taking the steps necessary to meet their needs.
 The governors wanted to know is they could assure the people of New England that they could have coal be- fore the winter cold sets in.
 Fuel Administrator Garfield told them they could but said if it became necessary to economize New England of course would be expected to join the remoinder of the country in conserving the supply.
 Besides the plans to expedite the loading of ships at Hampton Roads by stream, the fuel administration is considering taking ships out of the Great Lakes before the close of navi- gation, cutting them in half if neces- sary to get through the Welland Ca nal and using them in the coaStwiSe trade. The shipping board, which has taken over control of all American chartered ships over 2.500 tons, indi- cated today it was ready to cooperate with the administration along this line if necessary.
 Coal also will be expedited by rail as much as possible and orders were issued today by J. J. Storrow, New England fuel administrator, to carry the arrangement for sending at inter vals special through train loads of coal to New England points.

REICHSTAG UNANIMOUS
 TO OPPOSE MIcHAELIs
Notwithstanding Rebuff Administered
 by the Kaiser.

Copenhagen, Oct 26.-The leaders of the majorities parties in the reichstag are continuing their deliberations, ac- cording to Berlin advices, and are re- asserting unanimity of belief that Chancellor Michaelis must go, but are feeling decidedly helpless in the face Of the rebuffs administered by Elm peror William to representations in re- gard to action on various proposals.
 One of these suggestions was that the president of the reichstag be re- quested to corvoke the ways and means committee for parliamentary consideration of the political situation. It is doubtful, however, in view of the disinclination of at least two Of the majority parties to infringe in any way upon the prerogative of the crown in appointing ministers, whether any de- cisive action is to be expected, either from the conference or the committee. if it were summoned.

BRITISH STEAMER HAD
 BATTLE WITH FLAMES
Fire in ForehoId Shortly After Leav-
 ina Gibraltar,

An Atlantic Port, Oct. 26-A con- stant battle with flames throughout the voyage across the Atlantic was reported by officers of British steam CT which arrived here today from Mediterranean pogt. Shortly after leaving Gibraltar fire was discovered in the forehold, where a large con- signment of Turkish tobacco was stored.
 The compartment was flooded and the steamer made for the nearest port, but she had settled by the head so deeply that her progress was slow On reaching port stop of three days was made while she was pumped out and the cargo overhauled. Two days after she had put to sea, fire broke out again in the same compartment and was kept under control with diff culty during the rest of the voyage. 1t was said that the greatest caution would be necessary in discharging the cargo here on account of the highly inf1ammable nature of certain DOT tions of it.
 Forty-six members of the crew of the American tank steamer Petro1ite, sunk by a submarine last June, were passengers on the ship.

HOW GERMANS CONSOLE
 THEMSELVES FOR DEFEAT. Every Time sThey Are Forced Back is
 Victorious Retreat.

Copenhagen, Oct. 26.-The possibility of a further German retreat on the Aisne front is mentioned by Lieutenant General Won Ardenne, military expert of the Tageblatt of Berlin. in discuss ing the French victory here. He says the attack of the French undoubtedly will be repeated, and that although their chances ot ultimate success are slight it is well to remember that the German plan of defense does net for bid voluntary abandonment under proper circumstances of territory es- sential to the tactical plan, so that losses may be reduced.
 Even the loss of Laon-although this is in no wise impendins-will not alter the strategic situation of the c Germans" he writes. He draws atten- ton to the fact that Laon is still twelve kilometer:; from the battle front and is protected by new field fortifica- tions which the French will find 1t difficult to overcome.

Fresh gains of terrain by the British and French forces on the Ypres sector, by the French north of the Aisne riv- CT and by the combined German and Austro-Hungarian armies in the Aus tro-Italian theatre are recorded in the last official communications from London. Paris and Berlin.
