Once there was a man who laid
in a stock Of wet goods for the dry
spell. As far as he knew they were
in a safe place.
One morning he gave a hungry
bum some breakfast. When his
back was turned the bum investi-
gated his surroundings and located
the booze.
After thanking his benefactor
profusely for coffee and bacon he
departed. The other man went to
work.
The bum hung around until he
saw him leave the house. Then he
sneaked in and pounced on the IL
quor. 1t was the first drink he had
had for a week.
He put the bottles under his coat
and was about to jump the fence.
He stumbled The woman next door

stood Immediately what was going
on.
The bum was pinched. Investi-
cation showed that he had pinched
some money from another man the
day before. Almost $500.
His profession was to rob people
who were kind to him. He would
walk UP to a man and say he was
starving. Ten minutes later he
would be robbing that same man.
So the court sent Bob Alexander
down for 30 days for stealing two
quarts of red likker from Bill An
derson.

day she did some very close flgur-

The next day she openly rebelled.
She told him to get out OF the house.
He was dumbfounded at this breach
Of discipline.
He smacked her. He blacked
both her eyes. But she was a brave
little woman. She would stand the
whipping IL she could only get rid
of him.
And so the court sent Howard

John had taken his girl to the

Then he beat it up the street.
Josh asked Louise, the girl, who the

"Slxink" Jones is a small colored
man. He Is about 40 years Of age and
, always wears an old dress suit, cut
down to fit him.
The boys in his neighborhood are
always teasing him. For years he
has borne this nuisance without
grumbling.. He always was a good
natured fellow.
He never got after the boys at all.
But he always drew the line at being
teased by older persons. One man
especially used to tease "Skink."
This was Andy Brown. "Skink"
made him look like 30 cents every
time he shot craps with him. This Is
what made Andy sore.
Last Tuesday morning Andy was
driving a coal wagon. He saw
''Skink" wobbling down the street
like a lame duck. - -.
He commenced to kid him. ''Skink"
leaped on the wagon and threw Andy
of on the hard street.
"Skink" jumped OF the wagon right
onto Andy and the two wrestled all
over the street. Both got arrested.
''Skink" had the s. to pay his fine.
He was also sport enough to pay
Andy's fine, too, because he had got
his moneys worth out Of Andy by
whipping him good before the cops

EPIDEMIC OF THIEVERY FOLLOWS
ON HEELS OF D. c. PROHIBITION
Assistant District Attorney Given, Addressing
Police Court, Says Dry Washington Is
More Criminal Than Wet Capital.

'You may say what you please
about the benefits Of prohibition.
but I say that it has not decreased

United States District Attorney
Ralph Given yesterday morning In

'Tn fact" continued Mr.. Given.
''crims Is on the increase. Prohibition

Mr.. Given expressed the opinion Of
quite a few others connected with the
once OF the United States District
Attorney. Never In the history Of

BIames the Shippers.
A constant watch has been main
tanned by the companies to see that
their packages are delivered intact.
THE greatest part Of the trouble
lies with the shipping public" said
an oficial OF the express company
yesterday, when four young men were
arraigned for . series Of petty lar
cenies.
'Tf the public, win wrap express
packages in strong paper and with
twine 1t will 60 a long way toward
solving the present vexing problem"
he said. Packages that become un-
tied or broken are the cause Of the
trouble.
These poorly done up packages
make all the trouble. They present a
constant temptation to the man or
boy handling them. A piece OF goods
or an article protruding from a
broken package has led to the down
fall Of many young men who ordi-
narily would not steal"

DECLARES EMpEY
Soldier-Author Says That
so Per Cent Is Won
at Home.

Before two capacity audiences COM
posed Of members Of the National
Geographic Society, sergt. Arthur
Guy Empey, author Of "over, the
Top" presented the most vivid pic
ture Of modern warfare ever given
in washington. when he spoke In the
auditorium Of the New Masonic Tenn
pie, yesterday afternoon and even
ing.
Empey, who was once q United
States cavalryman, but went to Eng
land and enlisted in the Royal Fu-
sileers shortly after the sinking Of
the Lusitania, described life in the
trenches-its hardships, its dangers,
its thrills, its humor, its suffering
and its heroism-with such simplicity
and convincing directness that the
audience repeatedly interrupted him
with outbursts of applause
Among the most interesting fea-
lures Of the addresses was the DEM
onstration with the gas masks. show
ing how they are adjusted and how
they protect the men from this bar
barrie product Of German ''kultur." "
Another interesting phase Of the
speakers demonstrations was his
hurting Of bombs, one OF which was
made to explode on the platform at
the afternoon lecture.
Praises English Soldier.
Empeys pays q glowing tribute to
the English soldier, both the private
and his oficer. He describes Tommy
Atkins as one Of the best Of pals,
generous. self-sacrihcing, and az
brave as the bravest, while the on
GERS are always in the front. leading
the men. His description OF the savoir
faire with which the British officer
faces death and precedes his men
in every dangerous attack was one
of the most thrilling features Of the
address.
Empey made . strong plea to those
who cannot 60 to the front but who
are forced to remain at home either
because they are physically unit or
beyond the age limit. Only forty
per cent Of the war can be won In
the trenches" he declared: 'the other
so per cent must be won by the peo-
pie back home, whose first duty Is
to defeat the enemy within our own
gates: the men who call themselves
'German-Americans, but who in their
hearts are stil subjects OF the Kai-
SER" He characterized as dangerous
pro-Germans all those who endeavor
to embitter Americsns against our
British allies.
