WORM TURNED, SO HE
DEMANDED coin BACK
Purchaser of Chestnuts Takes
His Case Into Court
and Wins.

Mr.. A. Victor of Atlanta, Ca, is pro-
prietOr of a delicatessen sort of place
and also sells chestnuts. In the re-
corder's court Councilman Buchanan
testified that he purchased % cents
worth of what purported to be chest
nuts at the Victor shop. He took them
home and placed the paper bag on the
table. Presently there came a rust
ling from within the sack. Mr.. Blu
chanan investigated cautiously.
"Your honor, 1 found two of the
largest worms 1 ever saw" he said,
'They were fighting over a chestnut.
Maybe it was some henpecked worm
that was turning-I don't know"
Mr.. Buchanan took the bag out on
the veranda and investigated. He
opened two chestnut shells, which
averaged seven worms to the chest
nut. These he gave to the chickens.
He carried the rest of the worms
back to the scene of the purchase and
demanded his money back. Mr.. Vic
tor refused. He demanded ION his
part" the IA worms that Mr.. Buchanan
had fed to the chickens.
The return of these worms was
manifestly impracticable.
Inspector Wasser made a case
against Mr.. Victor; Judge johnson
made it stick.
'I'll fine you SIS and COSTS" he said.
"Why not make it $25?" inquired
Victor pertly.
"That's easy-it is now $25 and
COSTS" replied the Judge. "Will that
do? can accommodate you up to
anything in reason. Suppose we make
it an even $100T
But Mr.. Victor was enough of a
loser at $25 and costs. He paid.

BOLSHEVIK ARMY

CzECHO-SLOVAKS
Forces Under General Gaida Cap
ture 81, 900 Prisoners and
Many Guns.
NARROW ESCAPE FOR LENINE
Premier Flees From Armored Train,
but Members of Party Are Cap
tured-Ten Regiments
Annihilated.

VladivOstok, Jan. BIN capturing
Perm, in the Ural mountains, General
Gaida, at the head of CzechO-SlOvak
and Siberian forces, virtually destroy
ed the bOlshevik third army, from
which NikOlai Lenine, the bOlshevik
premier, was directing operations in
the region of Perm. Lenine himself
escaped, but several members of his
party were taken prisoners.
The exploit of General Gaida in cap
turing Perm parallels his success in
the campaign of last summer. His SUI
periors opposed his plan of attack
against Perm, and he carried out the
operation at the risk of removal from
his command. The bulk of his force
was made up of Siberian troops, but
he had two regiments of CZechs in his
army.
Captures Enormous Booty.
In addition to the $1,000 prisoners re-
ported, General Gaida captured 5000
railway cars, 120 field guns, 1000 ma
chine guns, 80 automobiles, an entire
WdSOh llduSpOIl, scNSldi dlhOlcu
trains and several thousand horses.
His movement was a complete sur
prise to the bolsheviki, as proved by
the fact that he captured several prom
inent soviet leaders at the headquar-
tiers Of the third bOlshevik army. Ten
bOlshevik regiments are declared to
have been annihilated and the rest Of
the enemy army was driven across the
Karma river.
Semenoff's Troops Advance.
Troops of General SemenOff, the an
ti-bOlshevik leader in the Chita district,
have occupied Verkhni Udinsk, on the
Siberian railway east Of Lake Baikal.
Two hundred thousand Russian sol
diers released from German prisons
are expected to pass through Omsk
within a fortnight. The Russians are
destitute and in a serious condition
from exposure and lack of food.

based on the belief that her lord and
master is engaged in sowing wild
oats.

Rather. he has written as one on the
outside who views the triangle as a
