body of a baby that had been burned
to death in fire Saturday. Just
before the funeral was scheduled
yesterday, the undertaken told police
that he doubted whether the, body
was really that of the baby. A search
Of the ruins revealed the child's body
near the spot where the dog had
been found.
The fire occurred in the home of
August Kolotsky, of this town, and
caused the death of Irene, his infant
daughter. Firemen searched the
ruins and discontinued their search
after they had found what they be-
lieved was the baby's body. Both
bodies we're so badly burned that it
was almost impossible to distinguish
between them.

IN the Immediate background, and in the dis
tance glimpse of the great city which this
business genius holds in the hollow of the
hand in which he always clutches one of his
favorite brand Of cigarettes.
One can imagine the business districts of
the great cities overrun with scouts for the
cigarette companies, looking for poster types
And when one is found how does such a busi-
ness man find time for work between ciga-
rette poses? He is sketched waving cigarette
at an admiring company of directors; he is
drawn in his home and on his way to work in
his automobile and on the golf links-always
paying tribute to the cigarette which carried
him through long hours of nervous strain.

was well covered. Grocers in those days sold
cigarettes, and would even go so far as to
break open boxes on request of boys whose
parents were good customers, and give out the
pictures, selling the broken packages to the
extra retail trade.
But now it's the business nan-the Go-Get
ter in the act Of going and getting. What the
advertisement of the future is to be none can
tell, but person being given one guess would
feel safe in hazarding his lone chance on the
business woman testifying that if it were not
for So-and-So's soothing smokes she could not
live through the long days that confront cap
tainess of industry.
New-York tribune., 1922-08-06

And even he spoke, he reached for his
job and found it not and the doorway opened
before him and he plunged outward from the
presence of the Caliph and appeared before
him no more
Then spake the good Caliph, painting heavily
from the swiftness of his exertiou, and, tuck
ing his cuffs up the sleeves of his kaftan once
more.
$50 shall it be with all who utter blasphemy
in the presence of the anonted Does anybody
else want to say anything?"
And silence dwelt unabated in the hall of the
goood Caliph until Will ibn Hearst opened his
lips to name the successor of the madman
Colgan Pasha.
Then, having removed all discord, the good
Caliph entertained his lord Will ibn Hearst,
and wit and merriment flowed about the festal
board like the liquor banned by the Prophet at
8 dinner of the Mameluke Lieutenants Asso-
citation. And during the height of the festivi-
ties, the good Caliph spake, saying:
Great Sheik, when thou takest office as Sui
tan of the realm, 1 pray that no such atflic-
tions be thine as have been mine. Behold
have been Meyered and Untermyered"-
Then burst of laughter inextinguishable
greeted his words and he safe down. smiling
himself at the brilliance Of his witticism.
Yet, meanwhile, the great and good friend Of
Will ibn Hearst Corners Bey of the golden
tongue, had hastened on his errand to the
Great Mosque and made known to an attendant
there his errand.
And, after many formalities and ceremonies
of purifcation, he was led into the chamber
where the Mullah Mur-fee, the chosen of Allah,
safe brooding the infinite.
And the face of the. great Mullah was heavy
with doom and his eyes beheld the unseen and
his ears received the voices of omens
Then prostrated Conners Bey himself seven
times before the figure of the Mullah, and he
kissed the earth between his hands and spake,
saying:

Things were not always thus. Time was
when business man had no more show of

and Conners Bey hastened to the Great
Mosque on the Street called Fourteen, where
day and night sat the Mullah Mur-fee, weav-
ing the cloth Of fate from the lives of men
and hearkening to the voice of the infinite
forever laundering in his ears.
But Will repaired to the courts of the
palace of Hy-lan, where safe the good Caliph
administering the high justice, the middle and
the low in the intervals between answering
the blasts sent against him by the Citizens
Union.
And when he saw the form of his lord in
the doorway of his chamber, the good Caliph
rose and gave loyal greeting, saying:
BY the beard of the Prophet, great Sheik
thou honorest mine humble household by thy
presence, especially it is at this moment
profaned by another communication from the
lntdel Citizens Union. By the holy gateway
OF Medina, these traducers of the characters
OF the good and great stop at naught! Con-
slider how in this screed they proclaim that l
am demagogue when thou and all the world
knowest / am and have been ALWAYS life
long Democrat"
linen apprlsed the Sheik ul Islam the good
Callph of what had transpired. whereat the
Caiiph and all those who surrounded him
cheered nightly, and Hy-lan himself. whea
the tunault subsidized spake, saying: ooh, five
gallon can of the milk of human kindness. VIC
tory shall indeed perch upon thy banner. For,
behold, / and all mine household are welded
to thy cause. And our voices are in accord in
thy praise"
Yet even as he spake madness descended
upon one Of the household of the Caliph him
self, even the Pasha Colgan, who held office
in the markets of the city in the name Of
Hy-lan himself. And this Pasha, being srnit-
ten with an inopportune gift of tongues. spaka
aloud, shouting:
Vote for Haroun Al Smith. the peoples
friend"
New-York tribune., 1922-08-06

"Oh, thou who nearest the voice of Allah
and speaketh friend with the ruler of
the three worlds, l come to thee from one
only slightly less in greatness, even the Sheik
I'll Islam, Will ibn Hearst, who seeketh word
from thee
And the face of the Mullah remained placid
and he hearkened still to the voices of djinns
and afrites, but his lips spake, saying:
Nothing to say"
But Corners Bey, abasing himself seven
times more, continued:
Behold, oh, thou master of the unseen
and reader of the past, present and future,
Will ibn Hearst hath been chosen by popular
acclaim to be Sultan of the realm
Then fickered the eyelids of the Mullah
Mur-fee and he spake:
Nothing to say
And Conners Bey prostrated himself again
six of the seven times he had intended, and
having cssayed the seventh and failed, gasped:
"Oh, giver of blessings and dooms, grant
that Will so forth to battle against the in
fdel for the good of the Faith, carrying thy
and Allah's blessing with him"
And the lips of the Mullah Mur-fee moved
once more and he spake:
"Nix!"
And Conners Bey gave answer as one who
had been smitten sore in the midriff:
"Unhl"
Then he took his departure
And he sought the palace of the good Caliph
and found the Shek ul Islam there and fall
tered his tale into the ear of his lord Then
bethought Will ibn Hearst of many things
with great speed. At length he turned his face
to the good Caliph, saying:
"Oh, mighty, enlightened and noble pro-
teetor of the common people beg thee go and
be Sultan in my place. Thou hast no idea how
my soul revolteth at the thought. And be-
hold, the benefits to the people would be the
same-and / would not have to so to the Office
daily"
