The Russian painter, M. Ivan Ko-

Parents Fail to Recognize
War Prisoner Just Returned.
Berliner Tageblatt-A grim travesty
of war has unfolded itself at Passau.
A prisoner of war has just returned to
that small Bavarian city from Siberia,
whittier he was sent by the Russians as
a prisoner of war He was not recog-
niZed by his parents, living in the
nearby village of Neuern, in the
Boehmerwald, but, as he profeSsed to
be pennileSS and homeless, they ex-
tended him the hospitality of the stable.
The son amiably consented to this ar
rangement, for he had desired to sur
prise his family. and it is quite appar-
ent he did
The mother, however, took the re-
turned soldiers knapsack into the house
for safe-keeping and. examining 1t with
natural If not maternal curiosity. found
quite a sum of money in 1t. This led
to the supposition that she and her
husband were entertaining a robber,
but in the meantime an innkeeper
assured the father that the new ar
rival undoubtedly was his son; that he
himself was positive on this point. The
father arrived home, finally convinced
of his boys identity, just in time to
prevent his wife's summoning Of the
police
1t seems that the return Of the hero
was delayed by the Russians forgetting
they had him, and then by the neces-
sity of remaining in Siberia until he
accumulated enough money to defray
his journey home. He had long since
been listed as dead on the Austrian
Army records.
Fund Raised for Widows
And Orphans Of Police.
FL Mercurio, Santiago.-The sub
scription list for the relief of the des-
titute widows and orphans OF San
tiagos police officers has just closed.
The fund SO collected will be used to
alleviate the circumstances, particu-
larly of the dependents of officers
killed in the performance OF their
duty. either by malefactors or by acci-
dent. The total OF the monetary dona-
tions received from public spirited cit
izens and social organizations COM
prised 1l.84l pesos, a sum sufficient to
relieve some of the more urgent cases
involving the families of these brave
men.
Necessities arising In the future,
when the fund is exhausted, will un-
doubtedly be met with a further gen.
erous response on the part of our cit
izenry. We desire to thank all who
have been so charitably disposed. and
have confidence that no similar ap-
peals which may be necessary will be
in vain, for those who have made the
supreme sacrifice for our protection
and security.

tried. For, a few days later,
that same 5000 check came back
to the hotel. And once again,
the attached slip stated that the
cause was insufficient funds.
The explanation was simple.
The hotel endorsement had been
placed on the back of the check
when it was first deposited, and
all Mr.. Williams had done was
to take it to another hotel and
have it caShed.

7 ries Out an Idea

The manager of that hotel
had grown highly exaSperated
because of the large number of
checks that we're bouncing
back at him. He fretted and he
fumed and he tried to be eX-
tremely careful about whose
check the hotel cashed. But it
was no use. He couldn't insult
people, because the establish
ment would Immediately lose
business. So the insufficient
funds" kept coming back at an
alarming rate.
Suddenly the idea hit him.
Why not give the gyppers a
little publicity? Why not ex-
pose them so that others might
know? The hotel was always
filled with out.of townerS, and if
Joe Doakes, of Nashville, Tenn,
had left a phoney check with
the management, some friend
from the same city would be
sure to see it eventually. and
slip the bad news to Joe. Surely
an expose could do no harm
and it might do a great deal to
discourage other gentlemen
with naughty ideas in that
direction.
No sooner thought of than
done. The very next day,
little glass box was conspicu-
ously displayed in the lobby of
the hotel. Carefully pinned on
green felt were plenty of the
phoney checks that had been re-
turned to the hotel. And all
visitors were given the oppor-
tunity to commit to memory
the name of constituencies
people who had been so debased
as to give bad checks to trust
ing hotel manager.
States His Scheme
Now it so happened that
among the guests of that hotel
at the moment was a stalwart
and handsome gentleman. He
spent several minutes around
the glass case and finally
walked into the managers Of
flee. He introduced himself in
a most affable manner.
MY names Williams" he
asserted as he shook hands,
"and I'm stopping with you
few days. I happened to pass
that bad check case in the
lobby and was highly amused.
It's quite a novel idea"
The managers chest did a
Londos.
THANK you. Mr.. Williams"
he returned. Its just a little
idea of my own that I hope
will do some good. You'd be
amazed to know how much
trouble we hotel people have
with rubber checks"
Mr. William nodded.
You're perfectly right, sir"
he agreed, "but there's one
check out there that 1 wanted
to talk to you about. It's signed
by Frank Jones. of Syracuse,
N. Y, and I'm certain there
must be a mistake somewhere.
Liked the Plan
''It so happens that Syracuse
is my home town and that I
know Jones quite we'll. He's
not poor man by any matter
of means, and I'm positive
there must have been a slip
up in the bank. l know that,
when I get back to Syracuse,
I can collect the money for
you"
The manager was highly in.
terested. 1 suppose that you
or I would have felt the same
in his position. The check had
been drawn for 5000, and the
two men talked about it for
some time. In the end, Mr..
Williams offered to buy the
check from the hotel.
