LONDON FOG BACK ON JOB
Citizen Of Pig City Secretly Proud OF
What Visitors Universally Denon'-
mate Nuisance. |
Copyright.

The London particular" the blind
ing, choking, solid, yellow fog. the
Londoners pride and the visitors de-
spair, has come back into its own.
LOndon's fog Is not the soft, moist,
gray mist that hangs over an American
city In wet weather. 1t may be abso-
lutely dry or as wet as rain Itself. II
may envelop all of London, blanket
that recedes unwilllngly, step by step,
as a pedestrian advances.
1t may envelop one or a dozen Sec
lions, when 1t may be seen In the dis
lance, and Is stepped into as definitely
as one steps into doorway.
Whatever the real London particu-
lars" character, 1t Is a real fog; and
when 1t comes trains stop or slow to
q nervous crawl and street traffic Is all
but halted.
The London fog comes with the
autumn and early winter, when fires
are lighted In 100000 fireplaces and
the smoke Is unable to penetrate the
clouds. For several years there had
not been much fog; last year there
was almost none. This year 1t Is back,
and the Londoner, cursing it when 1t
makes him an hour late for work, Sc
cretly hugs 1t to his breast-he
couldn't help 1t II he wanted to-and
gloats over 1t as part of his heritage.
No one knows where 1t passed its va
cation.

DENUDED TURKEY GAME TO"
chIoroformed Bird, Minus FeatherA
Very Much Alive When the An
esthetie Had Worn OF.

One Of New Jerseys most con-
servatlve towns Is consumed with
mirth, and the objects Of said mirth
are a young, kind-hearted bride and
bridegroom. The bridegroom, II ap-
pears. took a chance on a turkey that
was being ratified off in his New York
office and few days later was notified
that he had won the pompOus bird.
Highly delighted. he gave his address
and ordered the prize sent out to his
New Jersey home.
In the course of time the bird ar
rived at its destination, and arrived,
much to the surprise of the bride and
bridegroom, in a wire crate very much
alive, remarks the New York Sun. As
their experience in executing birds was
nil and the bride couldn't bear to
have Its pretty head chopped of"
they decided to chlorOfOrm ii. Con-
seQuently, the next night, when the
bridegroom got home from the office,
the anesthetic was administered on a
lovely lace handkerchief and then the
bird was plucked and put into the
ice box. About 9 o'clock that night
the peace and quiet around the library
lamp were disturbed by strange noises
In the kitchen.
Hand In hand the newlyweds bravely
descended upon the kitchen expecting
to find the ever-looked-fOr burglar.
But no burglar was to be seen. Lo-
eating the noise In the direction Of the
Ice box the brave young bridegroom
swung open the doors and out stepped
q very naked turkey. After few
rounds of the kitchen with consider
able Tapping Of wings he began pick
ing up the crumbs on the floor. The
bride and bridegroom looked at each
other In horror and fled from the
kitchen. An hour or so later the
services of a neighbor were called
upon and this time the turkey was an
esthetized with an ak.

Fathers and uncles have always
made 1t a practice to play with little

permitting Willie to look on merely,
while a group Of adults manipulated
the toys all Christmas day.

walking dolls for their little girls.

to conceal the ante-Yuletide presence

sweetly.
But the little girl had reached the
end of her endurance. Desperately she
turned to the guest:

pulled him out" His next favorite Is
Of the old Welsh farmer who walked
many miles In Criccieth, where Lloyd
George lives. I'm going to have q
look at David" said this admirer.
"David's now a great man." "Why
