football player. The occasion in which
he assumed an athletes babiliments is
one of the brightest stars in his galaxy y
Of exploits.
For some time lizzie had looked with
enVious eye upon cafe facing upon
Van Courtlandt Park, which, while os-
tenSibly as dry as the Sahara, con-
tinued to enjoy a mysterious popularity
All efforts to extract evidence from
the canny barkeep were thwarted again
and again.
At last lzzie had an inspiration. After
some difficulty he procured football
costume that he could get into, and
another for his partner. Thus at-
tired, they repaired to the park to caper
about.
1t was hard work, but they stuck to
It: Up and down they ran. mixing
with the other players already there.
and rapidly getting themselves in n
state bordering on collapse. After half
an hour of this they were sufficiently
hot and exhausted looking to satisfy
the most captious critic.
They then walked, putting and blow
ing, into the grateful shade of the cafe.
threw themselves into chairs, and en-
treated the waiter, by all that was
holy, to get them something to save
their lives
The waiter was man of more mercy
than Judgment. He gazed with com.
passion upon the exhausted athletes
and agreed after some hesitation to
get them what they wanted.
The cooling draughts were brought
and officially disposed Of.
Then, as was his wont, lizzie did his
duty.

an excellent location, and they pro-
ceeded to enjoy themselves thoroughly.
After a time lizzie beckoned to the
waiter and broached the subject Of
liquid refreshment.
The waiter was extremely sorry, but
1t would be impossible to serve the
gentlemen.
But" protested lizzie, II saw you
very same thing I am after. Come,
cant have n good time unless you fix
us up
After some further argument, the
waiter retired to consult the proprietor.
He returned smiling.
IF you will give me your card"
he said, something might be done"
Here was an unforeseen difficulty,
and one that required some quick think
ing. He had no cards Of his own with
him. but 1t occurred to him ut the last
moment that he had in his wallet two
cards left recently by callers of his
office.
He accordingly produced q card, and
as he handed it to the waiter he saw
that the name upon 1t was that Of a
prominent Jewish rabbi. Apparently
the credentials were satisfactory, for
the man was soon back, bringing with
him four tea cups, in each of which
was a gill Of very good whisky.
lizzie and his colleagues thereupon
tasted the evidence, and having assured
themselves of its nature. were content
for the time being to enjoy the rest of
the evening"
The bill was brought. and il was
found that the four cups Of tea" had
cost six dollars.

One of Izzie's favorite anecdotes Is
that of the diverting Fourth Of July
which he passed in Brooklyn.
He crossed the East River--disguised
as himself this time-and made his way
to certain pharmacy which had the
reputation of being 'drugless drug
store" 1t had large and cosmo-
politan patronage. which always seemed
to emerge from the place happier than
when 1t went in.
lizzie strolled in, looked at some
tooth brushes, bought package. Of
razor blades, and asked the clerk how
business was coming along.
"Oh, so-so," said the clerk. "By
the way, aren't you the new butcher
who just moved in up at the next
corner?"
lizzie admitted unhesitatingly that he
was none other.
Amicable relations having been es-
tabllshed, the talk became intimate and
the new customer finally hinted the
possession of a burning thirst. The
clerk was cautious, but at last agreed
to sell half pint Of whisky.
"Wait a minute" he said, "and I'll
wrap it up SO It won't look like

It, and put it in his pocket. For some
reason which he cannot explain-a sixth
sense Of saving suspicion perhaps-ht
did not arrest the man at once, but
turned and walked slowly toward the
door.
The clerk called him back.
''Take look at that bottle" he sug-
gested smilingly.
lizzie did so and found that II con.
tained nothing but water. He kept hi'
head and professed great indignation.
''It's all right" said the other, TAX
