Bewitching Woodland
Scene i'm Store Window

One doesn't need to be n fisherman
to admire the truly remarkable win
+: dow that Jack" Seigars has just
completed for the j. H. Cogan Co.
Any lover of the great outdoors
will admire it and stand and look at
the trickling brook. the youngster
fish in the trout pool and the section
of woods that seems to have been
lifted bodily and transported to this
window.
And there are real trout in 1t, too
-four handsome speckied brook fell
lows who seem to enjoy being looked
at as much as the people pressing
against the window pane enjoy look
ing at them.
1t is really remarkable the way a
trout stream has been simulated in
the Cogan window. From out the
bushes at the back comes the water,
bubbling over rocks and pebbles. 1t
flows by messy banks to the pool and
then disappears from sight. Every
where on the ground" is real moss
and there are bushes and evergreens
to add to the effect, so that the dis
play doesn't look a bit like a made"
one. but more as if it were the real
outdoors.

Nah Jong Is Puzzle
to Gambling House
Police Raiders

PITTSBURGH, March 19.-
'Pungl" "Chow!" EAST Wind"
"West Windv "What the
divil's goin' on now?" growled
Detective Dunn as he heard
these expressions as he lead a
raiding squad up a stairway.
Dunn had understood the place
was a negro gambling house,
where he might expect to find
craps or poker; but this termin-
ology was something foreign to
the police district.
When the police entered a
room on the second floor their
mystification was increased. In
stead Of the time-honored worries
or cards and chips, they discov-
cred a group Of negroes intently
manipulating little rectangular
tiles bearing queer Oriental fig
ures. Dunn snorted scornfully
when he was informed that the
game was Nah Jong.
Search of the premises re-
vealed no money or any sort Of
gambling equipment other than
the Nah Jong paraphernalia.
"WeIl run 'eEn in anyway"
Dunn decided.

The whole question seems to have
been brought to q head by the
so-called family rights bill, which
is soon to come up for discussion
in the assembly and is expected to

polygamy at present seem very

A desire to increase the popu

field Park, N. j., ordered bluepoints
for his lunch at Ye Olde Homestead
in that town. and felt something
CRATE against his teeth as he was
consuming the fifth. He took 1t
out and discovered It was a pearl.
The waiter reported the discovery
to Martin Hanson. proprietor Of
the restaurant, who Immediately
claimed the pearl. Smith had not
even paid for for the oysters yet,
said Hanson, so title had not passed.
and the oysters and all they con-
tanned still belonged to him. More
over, said Hanson, he was a res
taurateur, not jeweIer, and II
Smith wanted pearls he must go to
Mr.. Goldstein's shop or dive for
them.
Other diners took part in the dis.
pute and Smith eventually got out
with the pearl. leaving Hanson
threatening to bring suit for its re-
covery. A jeweler appraised the
pearl at $3.50.
