"SANDFLY" LOSES;

Australians Put Faith in a
Cinch.

Newport Logan, an Australian cattle
dealer, arrived several days ago at the
Biltmore on his way to England and In
the course of trip through the Wall
Street district met John p. Kent of the
Hotel Patterson. Kent seemed friendly,
according to Logan's story, and cemented
the friendship when he said he, too, was
from Australia. In a burst Of confidence
Logan said that his new friend gave him
tip that there had arrived at the Savoy
gentleman named John Parker of Bos-
ton. who had inside dope on certain
horses then racing in Canada.
Logan said he was persuaded after
meeting Mr.. Parker to put up $1,000 in a
$4,000 pool on a horse which was to be
infallible. Kent offered to raise $4,000.
Logan said, and Parker agreed to put up
the rest. Kent then took Logan's money
and went out to make the bet. Logan
continued. and returned shortly after
with the announcement that all was set
and that the only detail remaining to
the transaction was to wait around until
the horse won and then collect the sud
den fortune.
Logan said that Parker then inquired
what horse Kent had put the money on
and that Kent's reply was Standby"
This irritated Parker, Logan said, and
he berated Kent for playing the wrong
horse. Within Ave minutes the phone
rang and the information was trans
mitted. Logan said, that Standby" had
come up to Parker's expectations and
had lost. Logans disgust at the whole
proceeding was so acute that yesterday
ne caused the arrest OF both Parker and
Kent for getting away with his $1,000.
They were held in $4,000 bail each.

Peter Collins, former City Clerk OF
Mount Vernon, who admitted misappro-
priation Of funds while In offic9 totaling

fort had placed himself and his family
In straitened circumstances Both OF
Collins's sons served in France and one
was killed in action there.
In addressing the defendant Judge
Young said:
mo person with such a reputation as

fore me as a defendant in a criminal ac-
ton. Persons of the highest rank. in
Guiding State, town and county officials
Justices of the Supreme Court. men OF
high business Integrity, Catholics, Prot
estants and men of various nationallties
have pleaded with me and interceded for
you and have asked that sentence be
suspended. and among the things they
have said about you are that you have
been man of the highest standing all
your life long, family man who made
sacrifices, and at great personal incon-
Nehlence, to keep your family together. n
man who has always been engaged in
charitable enterprises and a man who

for believing he had turned the funds
over to persons who used II for political
purposes. He said Collins had been en-
titled to certain credits for payments

"Make Me More

So reads the legend OF the

fowery kingdom heard a pretty
rosebush shake itself and
whisper, II wish I were more
beautiful"
There are good angels ready
to help quite near US all the
time, and this angel quickly
gathered some moss growing on
a river-bank and few over to
the rose and embroidered its
edges, so that the rosebush
looked twice as large and
doubly beautiful.
Yes indeed, it is not exactly.
but next door to a crime and
over for anything or anybody
not to dress up to their best to
add to the pleasure and sugges-
ton of constant improvement.
What mistakes are made
every dayl Take the case of a
man sitting near US one day last
week with unclean shoes, soup
spotted necktie, unbrushed
clothes and horribly neglected
finger nails. How could such a
man help losing his friendsa In
course of time he will be. MOTTO
ing their negligence, yet he
doesn't seem to understand that
they are willing to forget even
old friendships for a man who
forgets himself.

are.

Mrs. Croy says that most

a sink right. They insist on
having them so low that they
are regular backache makers,
but Wanamaker's Systematic
Kitchen has one built high
enough and right, and any wo-
man who cannot make her
plumber or architect "under-
stand" should bring him down

light every woman who has ever
