ALICE ESTHER QUEsNEL

Esther, wife of Rene Quesnel, and
daughter of Henry Gruner and wife,
Ruth, was born near Pennington, Nov.
18th, 1893, and died May 18th, 1922,
being 20 years, 6 months and one day
of age.
On Nov. IS, 1920, she was married
to Rene Quesnel. An infant daughter,
now a week old, was born to them.
Besides husband and parents, she is
survived by brother, Roy,an older
brother, Lee, having preceded her to
the better world some 80 months ago,
Sister Alice joined the Pennington
Southern Methodist church when only
aboilt years old, under the ministry
of Bro. Emery, and lived a devoted
Christian life to the end. Every one
who knew her recognized her as an
earnest, thorough going and consist
ent Christian woman. She was ever
an affectionate and dutiful daughter
the delight of her parents and broth
ers. And in her going, the husband
is deprived of help-meet indeed.
Miss Alice, as she was familiarly
known, had large circle of friends
in Pennington and vicinity, who today
feel distinct sense of grief and loss
in her DEATH.
Because of her sterling Christian
character, we may all solace our
hearts with the Christian hope. We
believe our loss is her gain, and that
ere long we shall see her again.
On the day before she died, her
mother heard her quoting the WORD
of God and praying. On entering the
roopa> Alice asked if she could see thu
angels. What a blessed last day ex
Eperieneed on earth.
A Christian poetess. writing on the
thought, if she knew she would die to-
morrow, says:
81 might not sleep for aye; but peace
full, tender,
My soul would lie all the night long
And when the morning splendol
Flushed DER the sky,
! think that could smile, could calm
ly say
1t is His day"
Sister Alice has passed into the un
ending day of her Lords presence.

When Policeman Demurs

Mrs. Agnes Ross, waiting in the
Grand Central Terminal with her two-
year-old son about I0:30 last night for
a, train to take her to her home in
Chappaqua, N Y, became suddenly
i'll.
A wheel chair was brought and she
was taken into the baggage room. Pa
trolman Chernuck of the Sast Fifty
first Street police station called an
ambulance. DR.. benjamin. Stoller, who
has been riding the bus" at Flower
Hospital for seven weeks, responded.
He examined Mrs. Ross.
"Stand up" he commanded
She managed to get to her feet and
stood swaying. Patrolman Chernuck
steadied her as she sank back into the
wheel chair.
Take Trolley Car" He Advises
you're able to walk said DR.. Stroll
Ter briskley. "If you want to go to
the hospital you can walk out to the
street and take a trolley car"
don't feel able to walk" pro-
tested Mrs. Ross feebly. II want to 90
in the ambulance. Pm sick"
You'll be able to 60 by yourself all
right, / guess replied DR.. Stoller as he
turned to depart
Patrolman Chernuck detained him
Tor moment.
"If this woman collapses we'll have
to call another ambulance" said
Chernuck.
Stoller and walked briskly away to
the ambulance in which he was to ride
back to the hospital.
Supported on one side by Chernuck
and on the other by Mrs. Katherine
Hooper, nurse at Seton Hospital,
whose sympathy had been aroused by
her plight, Mrs. Ross managed to reach
the street. The policeman hailed
taxicab and he and Mrs. Hooper ac-
companied their charge to Bellevue
Hospital. There she was sexamined
and admitted by DR.. Koenig, who
found she was suffering from gastric
ulcers and a hemorrhage of the
stomach. He reported her condition
as serious. Her child was sent to the
New York Society for the Prevention
of Cruelty to Children.
Over the telephone DR.. Stoller ac-
knowledged that he had denied use of
the ambulance to the woman when she
had asked for it.
"In my opinion" he said, "she was
able to walk if she wanted to 60 to
the hospital
Told that she was in Bellevue and
her condition was regarded as serious,
Dr.. Stoller replied: "Well, what of it 2"
He was reminded that taxpayers paid
for ambulance service and that sick
persons were regarded generally as the
proper benefciaries Of such service at
the hands of the city.
"Well, what of it," he demanded
once more. "When I'm ON the ambu-
lance I'm the sole judge Of whether the
patient is sick enough to need the am
bulance In my opinion this woman was
able to walk"

Bedtime Stories
Reddy Tries the Old Trick
BY Thornton W. Burgess
A thing may ancient be to you
Yet to another still be mew.
-Reddy Fox.

Reddy Fox was very hot and tired
Fox when he reached the railroad. He
had run hard and fast to get there
we'll ahead of Bowser the Hound The
point at which he reached the rail-
road was close to bridge which
crossed q wide stream. There were
two things Reddy' could do: he could
run along beside the track for a short
distance and then walk on one of the
rails back the way he had come and
keep right on until it was safe to
jump Off. The ailiwould not hold his
scent. Bowser naturally would think
he had kept on going in the other d.
rection.
The other thing he could do-and
this was the old trick Granny Fog
had taught hi1n-was to wait until
Bowser was almost to him, and that
train which he could hear coming
was also almost to him. Then he
could race at top speed across that
bridge ahead of the train and iump
on the track just as soon as he was
safely across. sBowser might be SO
eager at sight of Reddy that he
would not notice that oncoming train.
and would try to follow Reddy across
that bridge. Then the train might
catch him and throw him down into
the water. Reddy had known that
trick to work with young dogs. He
! hoped that it was SO long since that
trick had been tried on Bowser that
Bowser would have forgotten all
about it.
Reddy thought over the two plans
and decided to try the old one. If
Bowser should be killed it wouldn't
be his fault. AT least, that Is what
Reddy told himself. "If Bowser isn't
smart enough to look out for trains
It Is no fault Of mine," said Reddy
to himself. "of course, don't want
him killed. but if he should be by
There ne comes now! And there
comes the train!"
Reddy sat beside the track Just as
long as ne dared to. By this time the
train was quite near. So was Bowser
the Hound. Bowser looked IN and
saw Reddy. That was what Reddy
wanted Reddy turned and started r.

OF Bowser the Hound, and Reddv did
not dare to look back to see if Row

Dwarf Sought as Coal Chute
Burglar Who Fired Residence

silverware, ten cases of whisky and q
quantity of dinner wines were taken.
According to the police, the house
was entered through coal chute the
under chain fastening of which is
found to have been broken. The cover
of this chute recently had been re-
moved, detectives say. They are pur-
suing theory that dwarf burglar
entered by way of the chute and ad-
mitted confederates who are believed
to have spent several hours ransack-
ing the premises. Three police char
acters, one a dwarf, known to have
worked together in housebreaking, are
being sought. The fire, which dam
aged three floors of the residence, is
believed by Fire Marshal Brophy to
have been set with the object of de-
stroying evidence of the burglary.
New-York tribune., 1922-08-21

A dwarf burglar is being sought by
the police as responsible with confeder-
ates for a $4,000 robbery and damage
by fire of $4,000 in the home of Mau-
rice J. Cross, % West Seventy-six
Street. The fire and robbery were dis
covered Saturday afternoon when
smoke was seen eddying from wooden
shutters. The house is unoccupied
during its owners summer residence
at Long Beach.
Silverware valued at $500 owned by
Mr.. Cross's daughter, Mrs. Won Schle-
gel, who as Viola Kraus was mentioned
in connection with an investigation of
the murder of Joseph B. Elwell in
1920, bore the Won Schlegel monogram
Because of this detectives believe they
will be able to recover part of the
stolen property. In addition to the
