NoUelisf's Hard Luck
Didn't Escape Notice

Novelist Upton Sinclair said at a
New York reception:
1--WE novelists should never frequent
high society. We are out of place
there, and all kinds of awkward ac-
cidents happen to US.
"a young American novelist was in
vited to dine with the duchess of
Marlborough. He wore at the dinner
one of those made-up ties that fasteu
to the collar button with a rubber
loop, and the meal had hardly begun
when this rubber loop worked loose
and the povelist's tie dropped into his
soup.
HE fshed Ii out with thumb and
finger and laid it beside his plate.
Then he began to debate with him
self whether or not he should wipe
it dry and put it on again. One
thing was fortunate, anyhow-nobody
seemed to have noticed his trouble.
"In the midst of his self-debate the
butler bent over him, pointed his
finger at the tie and said in loud
voice:

DAWES BURIES
B0YHO0D CHUM
Vice President Cares for
Former Pal Who Became
Bowery Bum.

New York.-Almost threescore years
ago two blue-eyed, tow-headed young
sters played tag together in two aris-
tocratic back yards in Marietta, Ohio.
Then they flew kites, went boating on
the Ohio, and finally played baseball
on the same team at Marietta college.
There the trails of the young men
parted.
They we're rejoined In a sense re-
Gently when one of them, Brandt Hull
bert, sixty-fve, a Bowery bum, who
spent the last ten years of his life
soaking up drinks in Bowery dives,
was buried at the expense of the 9TH
er, Charles Gates Dawes, Vice Presi-
dent of the United States.
It's Strange Story.
The strange story of how the Vice
President supported and claimed the
friend of his childhood after a lapse
of almost fifty years was told by Tom
Bresian of Burberry Bend, who be-
friended the sad-eyed Bowery habitue
whose better days had been so much
better.
Ten years ago Brandt Hubert, once
a successful engineer, cut his tie with
his rather distinguished family and
appeared on the Bowery, as many an
other, ready for plunge into the
abyss that would swallow his identity.
"He was always neat and had his
hair brushed back over his high fore
head" Bresian said mo matter how
drunk he got he always had his shoes
shined and a clean collar from some
where"
The silent, courteous, sad-eyed pa
iron of the Bowery bars, then fast dis
appearing, took dingy room at the
Grove hotel on Park row. Winters he
worked as common laborer at con-
struction camps - sometimes. Sum-
mers he got easier odd jobs as a
waiter at Coney Island.
But two years ago this strange
Bowery character fell i'll. He couldn't
raise a dime for beer and mulligan or
- cents for shot" for even on the
Bowery he remained somewhat of an
aristocrat, drinking I5-cent drinks of
caramel, water and alcohol instead of
the merchandising Smoke"
Steadfastly he refused to appeal to
his family. But when friends urged.
he did write letter to the friend of
his childhood. the Vice President.
Vice Presidents Signature.
Thereafter, on the first Of every
month check for sos from Charles
G. Dawes arrived at the Bowery hotel
for Brandt Hubert The signature
of the Vice President became very
familiar in Bowery "spilkies."
A few days ago the derelict once
more was stricken. An ambulance
surgeon from Beeckman hospital said
it was nothing serious, but Hubert,
alone in his dingy hotel room, died
the next morning of pleurisy and
pneumonia. His body weat to a slab
in the morgue.
Tom Bresian heard thai Vice Presi-
dent Dawes was in town, the guest of
Owen D. Young and Gen. Cornelius
Vanderbilt Then Tom notified the
Vice President his friend was dead.
The Vice President left a gathering
of his friends and went to dismal
BeIlviIle morgue and gazed upon the
features of Brandt Hubert for the
last time. Then, asking that the bill
be sent to him in Washington, he ar
ranged for the funeral.
On the casket was wreath from a
friend who. travelling the high road.
did not forget his friend who took an
other path.
