FINALLY ovERTAKEN BY FATE

OFFICER When informed Of IIIness
Of WeiI-t<nown Looter.

Lieut. Ben L. Maloney, who is a
well-known figure on auto row and
who directed q government motor
truck company In Texas last summer,
tellE story Of the famous Chinese
Boxer campaign.
"A certain officer In the american
forces failed to preserve the high
reputation of his corps In the matter
of looting," said Lieutenant Maloney.
''Whereas most American soldiers
earned the respect and gratitude Of
the Chinese by the way In which they
refrained from robbihg the natives,
this one officer vied with tho Euro
penns In gathering loot. He was es-
peclally partial to ancient brass and
bronze vases and Jars, which In this
country would be Of inestimable value,
and he literally grabbed up every such
curio he could lay his hnnds on.

THE BEAR AND THE MAN

Once there was a man that lived
all by himself in a little hut in the
forest and there were so many wild
animals that time that he had to
stay up all night with his gun to
keep from being killed
The bears were the worst. One
day when he was out getting wood
for his fire, great big grizzley bear
came in and jumped at him and
the man lodged him and his gun
was there and the bear knocked it
o<Ss. and when it fell it exploded
and killed the bear right in the
head. Then the man had him for
supper. The end.--William Brad
