Bisbee daily review., 1917-10-21

 mother yesterday, and that lady didn't seem so awfully pleased with him. She mentioned many things, among them that, with Emma McChesney, she intended taking her son apart, and putting him back together again like a watch" The cub could re- Chesney's son other than that he once raised a check and then married a chorus girl. Having done neither, the cub decided to go to the Phelps Dodge store, purchase Edna Ferber's book, look up the male McChesney's biogra- phy and discover just what there was about him to remind the experimental Mamma of her own particular man child.
 Halloween
 AS he entered the P D. building Halloween window of pumpkins, grapes, apples, squashes and good ness knows what caught his eye. It was a beautiful window; Halloween favors of many sorts lying in studied irregularity supplied a crisp back, ground ;and the whole thing made the cub hungry. He walked in the gro cery department and looked around. Every one was busy, so he helped himself to pickle out of great jar and waited for service.
 Quick Work
 It wasn't long coming. A man step- ped up with a Well, sir?"
 The cub gnawed at his pickle thoughtfully. q want something I can keep on my desk while write" |" he said; something cheap but fill ing-maybe crackers and cheese"
 The man grinned. Filling, all right" he remarked, but not always cheap. We carry 65 kinds of cheese here-cheeses imported from every European country except Russia; and some of them come rather high"
 Give me a 10-cent slab of the good old American kind you use in mouse traps,' replied the cub. q ain't high brow in a matter of this sort"
 Music Hath Charms
 Food in one hand and half-consumed pickle in the other, he started out to hunt for his book. As he climbed the short flight of stairs leading to the other part of the store a phonograph began playing a strikingly tuneful se- lection.
 Whats that?" he asked the girl at the machine.
 An Old-Fashioned Wife from Oh, Boy"' she said. Isn't it pret- ty?"
 Tt is" the cub agreed. '1s it aw- fully new"
 Tn way was her reply. You see, we get everything just as quickly as it comes out record form on Broadway, so we keep almost up with the musical comedy productions them selves. Would you care to have me wrap this selection for you?"
 Haven't got an instrument to use it on, said the cub; "and the girl I know in Bisbee with a machine is peeved at me; so l guess I'll have 70 pass"
 Across the aisle a young woman was arranging stockings in a showcase. Keep fire hose here?" questioned the cub.
 She smiled. Red stockings were never very much in vogue, but we have something most attractive in the new three-inch stripes"
 The cub glanced cautiously over his shoulder to see if any one he knew happened to be around. The coast was clear. Let's have a look at 'em," he whispered.
 Here" said the young woman in businesslike manner, -are a handsome pair in contrasting navy blue and burnt orange; and here, wistaria and gold form a striking combination. This Copen and go-"
 But the cub heard no more. Around the corner walked his minister, and, turning up his coat collar, he ducked into the mems department.
 A Bit Fused
 Something for you?" a voice asked pleasantly, as he calmed his pace to an ordinary walk. Horrible predica- ment! For the first time in his life the cub could think of no excuse. He thought of the man that passes on his copy, and countered with Well Fl, yes-and no"
 But the man back of the voice didn't seem satisfied. Cant l show you something in pajamas?" he persisted
 You shock me-" replied the cub Who am I that should be interested seeing any one in pajamas? My room mate at college. whose name was Tommie. wore 'em; and am sure that your offer would be no novelty in my life"
 You mistake me-" the man said with a laugh. "I merely wanted to
