Secaucus, N. .J.-When a troll
ley car of the public service cor
poration passed through here or
it's way from Passaic to Hobo
ken, a tow-haired s~iX-footer
swung aboard and casually In
formed the conductors: "You
can turn over the fares to me.

After a short but decisive ar
gument, the passenger arose from
the mud beside the track and
sought the police. He said he
vas Olaf Jansen, a recent ar
rival from Sweden. He carried
his savings with him, he said,
so he was able to pay cash when
a prosperous looking stranger
who sat beside him on the same
a offered to sell it to him for
500.
The stranger told Jansen he
had cleaned up 100000 on the
Scent fare basis. They got off
here to complete the deal. The
stranger then disappeared, after
directing Jansen to board the
car on its return trip and just
tell the conductor be was the
new owner.

MEDICINE MAN NOT A FAKER
According to English Scientist, He
Deals in the Occult, and With
High Moral Intent.

The medicine man, as known to the
ancients and to the aborigineS OF
America, Africa and other lands, was
no faker or humbug or Quack, accord
ing to DR.. Marrett of the University
Of Oxford (England. In book on
Psychology and Folklore he describes
the Australian bushman'S incantationS
to drive out of mans head the crys-
tai that has caused his disease. after
which he produces in his hand a piece
Of crystal, apparently out Of the suf-
ferers head.
Neither he nor the patient nor the
patients friends is deceived; they
all know that he has had the crystal!
in his hand or up his sleeve all the
time, and that he has been acting
Enthusiastically or syEsboltcally through
out the incarnation. The crystal is
a symbol Of the mischief within the
head. WHAT the medicine man really
does is to set the good magic influence
or mama" within himself to combat
the bad mama" affecting his patient.
He, in fact, deals in the occult, but he
does so with high moral intent, and
has attained to the power Of so deal
ing only after severe training, involv'
ing fasting, isolation and all the other
miseries Of a special Initiation.

URGE WIDER USE OF CABBAGE
ExpertI of cornelI College of AsricuI-
ture Exto Humble Vegetables
Value as Food.

Lovers Of cabbage will welcome the
pronouucement of the experts at Cor
nells College Of Agriculture, acclaim
ing the merits Of this Succulent vege-
table. Cabbage is subject the dis
cussion of which is not considered
good social usage. For some inscrut-
able reason to acknowledge a fondness
for it does not raise one in the eSti-
nation Of processing epicures, writes
II. Young in the Providence Journal.
Cabbage is rich in iron and other
mineral salts, it contains moderate
amount of growth-promoting substance
and the American people should eat
more Of it than is their habit, accord
ing to the Cornell propagandists.
Have we not heard, too, that it con-
tains these precious. if as yet unlden-
tilted elements called vitamines? This
cabbage report suggests that Ameri-
cans do not cook it properly, as rule,
and that may explain why apprecia-
ton Of it is not more general. 1t
should be plunged into boiling salted
water and left there for 20 minutes,
no longer, uncovered"-instead OF be-
ing confined to tightly-covered re-
ceptacle for an indefinite period.
The practice Of covering the dish
has grown up because Of convention
al disinclination to having the house
filed with the perfume of boiling cab
bage. But to a hungry cabbage lover
this fragrance is one Of the vegetables
charms. 1t exercises, as one nay say,
an agreeable psychological influence.
There are, of course, divers ways OF
serving cabbage, all Of them good, And
since our tastes are often ruled by
the judgment Of authority, it may be
believed that a widening circle Of con-
Tossing cabbage eaters will be the con-
sequence Of Cornells approving YER

ing eight miles to see his best girl.
On the occasion of one visit q heavy
snowstorm swept the prairie, and the
young man found it necessary to re-
main until morning. He slept in an

logs being untitled. The old-fashioned
feather bed with wool blankets pro-
tected him from the zero weather.
It so happened that the young man
wore the style at that date, buckskin
pants. Thoughtlessly on retiring ne

through the cracks between the logs
in the night and carried his pants
away. The theft was revealed when
the young man was called for break
fast, and to cap the climax, not an
extra pair of pants was to be had.
The young man was forced to stay In
bed and send boy eight miles to his
home for pants. There was only one
pair in his family, those worn by his
father. Thus the father had to go to
bed and send the boy these pants in
order that the latter could get back
