Broken Connections
How Y. M. C.. A. Helps

Out of the fears and anxietie.
of fathers and mothers, out of thu
broken connections that are
inevitable in wartime, there has
grown up a new department OF
the Young Mems Christian Asso-
citation, the bureau for tracing
missing soldier and sailor boys"
To the folks back home, one of
the big tragedies of the war is
the fact that there is no way Of
following the soldier-sons into the
enemy's country-no way, even,
of making sure that connections
remain unbi oxen. One week the
family reads and rereads, laughs
over and pretends not to wipe its
eyes over, the usual letter from
the boy in France, a letter full of
bravado and gayieiy, light-hearted
recounting of the details Of camp
life, cockiness about its hardships,
conviction about the outcome of
the war. The next week the let
ter doesn't come. They tell each
other that it has been delayed, try
not to listen for the postman's
ring, and refuse to meet each
others eyes when the postman
has come and gone. So the week
drags by, and the next week comes
and the next, and the weeks after
that.
He may be in the hospital, he
may have been transferred, he
may even be prisoner of war.
He may be dead, although they
have received no notice of his
death. They would almost well
come that notice sometimes, in
their anxiety, for there is no grief |
worse than such terrible uncer-
tainity. There is nothing that |
they can do but wait. Connec-
tons have been broken as COM
pletely as if the absent boy were
in another planet.
Then they remember that his
letters home have been written
on Young Mems Christian Asso-
citation stationery, with the fami-
liar Red Triangle in the corner
Perhaps the Young Mems Chris
tan Association knows something
about their son. They determine
to write and implore its help in
getting into touch with him once
more. Sometimes il is the father
who writes, asking that the bad
news, if there's any, be kept from
he boys mother. Sometimes ,
both father and mother write, I'M
Known to each other, each trying

TRAINED WRIST IS
MANS MEAL TICKET
His Performing Bone Seldom Fails
to Win the Coin When Such
is Needed.
GETS OVER $4,000 IN TWO YEARS
Man Goes Abou- state Preyins Upon
Railroads, Street Railway Com
panies and Corporations.

Minneapolis, MINI. - There have
been stories of the "man in the iron
mask" the '.man with the iron jaw"
ETC., and now we have the story of the
mar with the performing wrist bone"
His name is Lester Edward Mills and
he has just been introduced as a new
inmate Of the Saltwater penitentiary.
During his stay there, which may be
for two and half years, this perform
ing wrist bone, before mentioned, can
hol' out of joint seven times day and
nobody will be liable for damages.
Nevertheless, the performing wrist
bone, according to the police and a
partial confession made by the owner
of said bone, has been an obedient
meal ticket for Mills these last two
years, perhaps longer.
On propitious occasions, generally
while his person was in the custody
and safe keeping Of some large firm OF
corporation, the wrist bone would hop
out of its wonted socket and the owner
of the wrist bone would loon after
proceed to collect for injuries sus-
tanned. Records SO far produced show
that the wrist bone meal ticket has
produced some $4,000 for its owner
during this year and last, which is a
wrist bcne better than wish bone.
Were it not for the suspicious nature
Of Chief Troyer of the Duluth police
the wrist bone might still be. producing
checks from corporations.
Mills boarded street car in Duluth.
He carried suitcase. The street car
swung around the curve at Third ave-
nue. west and Superior street. Mills
stumbled over his suitcase. Mills did
not seek to stifle the cry of pain which
came to his lips. The conductor dashed
forward. The hand fell limp at the
wrist. The conductor looked sympa-
thetic. He sent for doctor and be-
gan to take names of witnesses.
| On the sidewalk stood Chief Troyer.
He had to have look. Mills did not
look as pale as the chief thought he
| hould. Neither were his lips. blood
less and all that sort of thing. The
chief, in fact, at that moment was look

man with the broken wrist?. He might

| Awhile the doctor was examining the
! wrist the chief had look inside the
suitcase. lie found therein shirt and
two letters. There was nothing sps
picious about the shirt but the letters
were from Minnesota attorneys and

had against some Minneapolis firm OF

customed to using before the war.
The other loaves are the kind that
all Americans should use now. In
the last three loaves mixture of
barley and rice flour has been used
in place of wheat flour; the second
loaf has only 80 per cent wheat
flour; the third goes step farther
and uses only % per cent wheat;
while the last boasts of being en-

his name as Adolph Faig, but the let

Chief Troyer. "a fellow with all these

Released by the Duluth police, Mr..
Mills asked the Duluth Street Railway
Company for $270. The company pro-
tracted the case and when Mills left
for Minneapolis had him shadowed.
Together with admissions made by
Mills lis record was deemed sufficient
to cause his arrest here. He gave his
address as 1904 Stevens avenue. His
wife gave hers as Sc Thirteenth street,

him to not more than two anG a half

He told the judge that fifteen years
