forting. He felt quite safe there
But outside were strange noises. and
after while his curiosity could stand
it no longer. He crept to the little
doorway and cautiously peeped out
Walking about or standing staring at
that box were many great birds. They
We're all white. The little Rabbit
couldn't remember ever having seer
a white bird before. and he stared
with all his might. If they had been
black instead of white he would have
been more afraid. Somehow, he
wearing white. So presently he poked
his head out
Instantly there was a great cack-
ling among those big white birds. and
the little Rabbit knew that they were
talking about him. Then the biggest
of them walked toward him with
stately air, while all the others
crowded about and talked faster than
ever The big bird with the stately
air ruffed up the feathers on his na.k.
thrust it toward the little Rabbit and
struck at him with his bill. Just in
time the little Rabbit lodged back
into his house. Then the big. strange
bird stretched as high as he could.
tapped his wings and crowed as only
a proud rooster can. And all the
admired him and told him how brave
he was. though this the little Rabbit
didn't know because he didn't under
stand their language.
After a few minutes of this the big
rooster led the hens away. and once
more the little Rabbit ventured to
poke his head out. This time no one
took any notice of him and so he
ventured wholly out. Just outside he
found some nice tender lettuce leaves.
He never had tasted anything quite
so good. and he ate and ate, forget
ting all about his troubles. When he
had finished his meal he went back
inside for a nap. He had been through
so much excitement that he was tired
out and he slept most of the rest of
that day.
He didn't venture out again until
evening. Then he found that those
big, strange birds had disappeared.
He scampered all around the hen yard
trying to find place to get out. But
there wasn't a hole to be found, so
he gave that idea up. After all. ii
didn't matter much. There was plenty
of room to run and jump. There was
his nice safe box in which to hide if
need be. Best of all, If he couldn't
get out neither could any of his enc
mics get in, so there was nothing to
worry about 1t was all very strange
and very wonderful, and would be a
great adventure to tell about. So.
if not really happy. that little Rab-
bit wasn't unhappy. You see he
wasn't old enough to understand that
he was prisoner.

say. He'll make good some day.
There's good stuff in him.
Melville f. ingalls,, then president
of the Big Four, and locally renown-
ed for the severity of his judgments
on newspaper men, began to favor
Cox. The Enquirer's railroad column
began to be copied far and wide. The
railroad men up state regarded it as
what is coiloquially known as "a
run-in" with an important railroad
man. He printed a story the railroad
man did not want printed. The En-

him city editor. But he did not serve.

for him.

he. will you take the placer
Sorg was then in Congress and it
soon became known that Young
Cox was almost as much a member
of Congress as was his employer.
Sorg was a likab1e, successful, kindly
old man, who knew little of the ms

mite and accurate knowledge was in
dispensable. He knew men as well as
things. By and by Sorg refused to
take any action or give any promise
upon things political until his secre-

story is in circulation of an intimate
of the Sorg offices opening the door of
the congressman's private room one
day.

Don't say it that way Jimmy

He was a perfect private secretary.
By the time Sorg went out of politics
young Cox knew every man in the
third congressional district-that is,
every man he had not known previ-

awaits ADEQUATE
BID ON LEv|ATHAN
So, 900, 900 Necessary to Put
Liner in Shape, Says
Shipping Board.

The Leviathan. the great transat-
lantic liner. formerly the Hamburg
American liner vaterland. has been
lying at her dock in Hoboken for a
year. At the United States Shipping
Board it was said that the govern
ment is still seeking purchaser
for the huge craft. The report that
the vessel is on the way to the junk
pile was denied. The Shipping Board
is waiting until a more adequate
offer is made than any received in re-
cent months.
If it had not been for the injunction
obtained by William Randolph Hearst
months ago the Leviathan. with other
of the interned German ships taken
over by the government. would have
been sold, it was stated. 1t was not un-
til the new shipping law went into eff
feet last June that this injunction was
lifted and the government officials
able to seek further purchasers. Since
then no adequate price has been re-
ceived.
$S,OO0,OOO Expense Necessary.
According to officials at the offices
of the Shipping Board, they have been
informed it would require an outlay
of 100000 to put the Leviathan into
a condition for passenger service sim
liar to that of the days before the
war.
1t was explained that when the big
ship was turned into an Army trans
port, all of the fixtures were taken
dut. The boat is little more than a
shell now with engines. The Shipping
Board prefers to have some private
concern take over the job of revamp-
ing the vessel and so is holding it
for sale.
The Shipping Board believes that it
is better business. for instance, to
ger liners now building for it than to
put such a large sum into the Leviathan.
There are nineteen of these big liners
now under contract. In fact, the con-
tracts were let during the warrior
Army transports then. but the plans
have been shifted to make them pas
senger lines. The first of these. the
Wenatchee. is to be delivered to the
Shipping Board by the New York
Corporation. with yards
at Camden. N. j., next month.
Will Sail to Orient.
This vessel will be placed in pas
senger service to the orient. sailing
from San Francisco. Ten first-class
liners. as they are turned out, will be
to steamship companies on
the Pacific coast.
y
date $40 passengers and is bigger and
finer than other liners on the Pacific.
The contracts were made in wartime,
and the prices therefore are wartime
prices. The vessels will cost i'll the
of s5,50O,00O and s6,-
900. 900 They are oil burners and
have a steaming radius of 1900
miles. which will enable them to go
from San Francisco across the Pacific
without stopping anywhere for fuel.
The Shipping Board expects to Put
other liners into the business On
routes from the United States to
South America, and to Europe. as they
are delivered.

COLUMBUS, Ohio, September TO-
Charlie Hodges was the editor of the
Cincinnati Enquirer when James NJ
Cox scooped his Middletown rival on
the wreck of the Second Forty-five."
He called young Cox down to Gin
cinnati to look him over, on the theory
that the kid might have something in
him.
He did well once" said Charlie
Hodges between puffs at his pipe.
There's no telling. He might do it
again
At this time Cox was an undeniably
green youth.
Il saw a picture of myself taken at
this time" said Gov. Cox the other
day, and II said to myself:
rs it possible that / ever looked
like that? How did I escape the
coWs?"
He did not dress up to the high
standard eXacted of the Enquirer re-
porters and his English was faulty.
His grammar was all right. but the
language continually betrayed him.
He often used words that sounded
all right, but which did not mean at
all what he thought they meant. But
it was noted that each time he was
corrected was the last time it was
necessary to correct him for that
particular mistake. BY and by, after
he had conquered a working knowl-
edge of big city ways, he was made
railroad reporter.

Up to this time the railroad column
had been dull and lifeIess feature on

tables. shop gossip, statements that
old No. 40 was to be shopped,
and that the motive power de-
partment was experimenting with
some new hogs for the. mountain

space given it. Railroad reporters
were apt to be superannuates, booze

Cox. grave, hard working, genial
and with curiously pleasant dignity
even then, changed the tradition. Nc
railroad reporter had ever in those

reason for this, for it was feared, on
good foundation, that the first act OF
such a fortunate reporter would have
been to ask for a pass. But Cox man.

FRENCH ARE BESIECED
BY TURKS AT TARSUS
Birthplace of st. Paul Scene of
Fighting-Relief Column
Defeated.

CONSTANTINOPLE, September 9
(by the Associated Press).-Tarsus,
the birthplace of ST. Paul, which is
located about twenty miles south of
Adafia, is being besieged by the
Turks. The French garrison and the
$1,000 inhabitants of the place are
short of food, according to letter re-
ceived here from Prof. Paul Nilsson,
who is in charge of st. Paurs Institute
there.
The Turks are fighting from the
shelter of fig and orange groves on
plains surrounding the city, relying on
their rifle fire to hold the French garri-
son within the walls. The French are
making every effort to save the town.
Airplanes drop letters in the streets, but
are unable to alight because there is no
room for landing place in the city.
A French column which attempted
to relieve the garrison met a reverse
in the village of Saru Ibrahim while
marching from Mersina, a seaport
twenty miles away to the northeast.
