EXCITEMENT ON THE BOWERY
Hubbub Caused by Cry of ~Stop
Thief" on New Works Noted High
way Frightens Habitues.

A thief chase on the Bowery was
daily occurrence when that famous
song was popular. Then the dips and
others who infested that thoroughfare
would hold up any passerby who they
thought had anything that looked like
money concealed on his person. But
the light-fngered gentry and strong
armed fellows have found other fields
more lucrative, according to a New
York correspondent of the Pittsburgh
Dispatch.
The big street is now the stamping
grounds of weary Willies" and buns
whose only vocation Is to panhandle
the price of a drink. So one day re-
Gently, when the old familiar cry of
stop thief" was heard the Bowery
was almost paralyzed; everybody
stood still and watched for the culprit.
Soon they saw tall, lean and hungry
looking youth daHing under the ele-
waited pillars, but they made no effort
to catch him. When the cops arrived
on the scene the man had disappeared.
"Where did he go?" beloved one with
a club, who held it threateningly over
several men who stood in a doorway.
did you see that guy running this
way? Where did he go? Come on,
now" But no one had seen the thief.
While the cops were making their
search apathetic, cringing men came
from the different doorways to learn
what the excitement was all about.
"My God" remarked one frowsy look
ing individual, as the cops departed,
81 was scared it was some guy offering
a job" And appreciative chuckles
went up along the line.

Children and the War,

Agnes Repplier says In the Woman's
Home Companion: 1--WE cannot afford
to have young people feel that they
have no part to play in the nations
heroic struggle, that they may go on
amusing themselves in the old careless
fashion, while men are dying for their
safety The rites and ceremonies of
coming out may well be omitted, or
at least simplifled. We have grown
to attach a tremendous but wholly
mythical Importance to a girls first
season, to regard it as something sa-
cred and inviolable, with which no
cataclysm should be permitted to In
terfere, and for which no sacrifice is
too great. 1t is not an uncommon
thing to hear the death of a distinf
guished citizen regretted because 1t
interferes with the coming out of an
1S-year-old niece. If the war helps to
moderate this point Of view it will
have done us one good turn. If girl
decides to take a hospital course in
stead Of devoting her winter to gayety
she chooses wisely. Her health will
be conserved, her heart and mind ex-
banded"

To Our Absent Ones

Never before have so many OF our
Cambridge boys been away during
the Yuletide season, and never have
there been as many sad hearts and
homes as there are this year The
first year of war is gradually thin
ming our lists, and Christmas finds
part of the boys who livened dances
and helped make things merry dur
ing the holidays, doing service IN
foreign lands, and many more In
training in environments.
Luckily, some of those who have
heard the call of America and Free
dom have been permitted to come
home We are happy to greet them
and extend to them the season S
greetings, and our wish for the New
Year is that it may bring victory and
peace, and that they may be permit
ted to see the early finish of the gi-
gantic struggle IN which they are en-
gagged.

Canarjes Are Hardy,

The canary is very adaptable lit
tie bird, and their biographer says
that they seem to thrive in any climate
where not exposed to too severe wealth
er conditions, and, in spite Of the long
period they have been protected and
held in captivity, they are capable of
enduring a surprising degree of cold
when hardened to it. In England it Is
not unusual to find them In outdoor
aviaries throughout the year. They
also seem, he says, to be able to re-
establish themselves in wild state I'M
der favorable conditions. In 1909
brood of domestic canaries was re-
leased on Midway island, a small,
sandy islet in the Hawaiian group.
By 1914 they had increased until 1t
was estimated that they numbered
about 1000.

The tree In question, which was

carefully preserved with zinc plates
where the damp might gather. and the
branches are held up with iron bars,
but It bears Q goodly crop Of leaves,
and seems good for many years Of life.

know how many democrats are going

We are a nation of meat eaters and

The kidneys do their utmost to free
the blood of this irritating acid, but
become weak from the overwork; they
get sluggish; the eliminative tissues
clog and thus the waste is retained
in the blood to poison the entire sys-

in few days your kidneys will act
fine. This famous salts is made from
the acid of grapes and lemon juice,

passed through him and only the
quick action of the foreman, who
grabbed him by the overalls and
jerked him free, prevented him from
being electrocuted. His fingers and
hands were badly burned, and it is
feared that it may be necessary to
amputate his hands up to his wrists.
He was taken to St. GATHERINGS hos
