EASY PICKING FOR SCOTSMAN
canny Individual Right In His Els.
ment In German Prison Carp
Got All the Money in Sight

A Scotch corporal was appointed BY
the commandant to look after cur
boots and to serve our soup. His
name was Allen, but we called him
Steamboat" for short. Steamboat
Immediately began a siege upon the
affections Of the German nurse who
had charge Of the officers mess and
our fare began to improve.
He stole beef and potatoes for Us
and schnapps for himself. Steamboat
was not the only one who was steal
ing. There were few tons Of po-
tatoes In the basement and a guard
would take a fatigue down occasion
ally to pick out the rotten ones. They
spent most Of the time putting good
potatoes by a window for the Bel
gians and invariably came back up
stairs with their breeches legs filled
with the best. These were boiled and
issued through the ward at night. You
can imagine what q row there was
when an inspector went down and
found the basement innocent Of pota-
toes.
Steamboat had with him q crown
and-anchor board, great gambling
game Of the British army. he soon
found when the Germans would get
their pay and made plans accordingly.
He spread his board on q table and
began rattling the dice In a tin cup
and with familiar accents began Spiel
ing. "Old Joe, the man with the
dough-" III you don't speculate you
can't accumulate" speaking In Eng
lish. The German walking wounded
crowded around. put down a few
ptennigs and won. Rhett came In for
q little loss. The night nurse tried
her luck and 1t was bad. In a few
minutes play was In full swing and
they were almost fighting for standing
room about the table. In two hours
Steamboat had all the money. Crown
and anchor became an institution,
with Steamboat winning at nearly ev-
cry session. With this money he
bought vile German cigarettes for
his comrades and wine for himself.
When 1 left Peruwelz he had beau

TOWNLEY WAVES BIG
STICK WITH THREATS
FOR BUSINESS MEN
Non-Partisan Gar Says He'll Deport
Those Opposing Him.

Fargo, n. D., Oct. 27.-A c. Town
ley, president of the Non-Partisan
league. is creating n sensation by his
campaign in North Dakota, particu-
larly by his threats to run out of the
state such business men as oppose the
league.
At Stanley he said: "If l, after the
smoke OF battle has cleared away,
after Nov. ., find out that you by
your vote have helped to defeat me,
/ am coming back here to see that
not one of you fellows will be left in
town"
In Minot, N D., Townley served
notice on the business men that if
they voted against the Non Partisan
lccgue, he would return to Ward
county and to every other county in
North Dakota and organize the farm
ers and laboring men so that they will
rot spend one dollar with local bust
ness men.
Virtually the came doctrine for bust
ness men III olit- atdt'9 was stiiilouLlC-
ed in the resolutions OF Townley or
ganizations. These are published in
such papers as the Colorado Leader,
Official organ of the league in Colo
redo.
THAT there has never been more
propitious time for the Inauguration
of Il plan of CO operation between pro
iucers and consumers to the end that
the middlemen. parasites, may be dis
pensed with and that the workers be
forever freed from the necessity of
giving their products in the form of
profits to that socially ignorant and
worthless element in society known as
the business man."

COVE REFUSES ANY SUPPORT TO

Candidates Who. Honestly or Trickily,

Frank T. Cove, formerly Democrat
ic state senator, yesterday, before a
meeting of the Colorado Welfare as
sociation, voiced his reasons for not
supporting the state Democratic ticket
at the coming election. The ruinous
Nonpartisan league has swallowed the
party IN Colorado, he declared, and
for that reason he will not support
any of its candidates.
During his address to the more than
300 women that were present Mr.. Cove
said:
MY solicitude for the political, So
cial and economic welfare of this state
outwcighs under existing circum-
stances my natural disposition to sup
port those whose names appear upon
