he carried , a great deal' of cold with
him, for his expenses of himself and
others. He carried this gold In belts,
which were laced about him. Mr. Cobb
Is in reality of a dainty and aesthetic
nature, but he doesn't look It. Adher
ing, to the belief that tkje curve is the
line of beauty, he has accumulated
many curves. When he walked into
the Savoy hotel In London he bent
over like a man carrying a ruck sack
filled with chilled steel safes, and
groaned bitterly. He saw a friend.
"Take me to your room," said he.
"Hurry."
So the friend took him to a room and
unlaced him. No money belt ever
I made would surround Mr. Cobb's
! periphery unless It were made for a
truck horse. The strings which filled
the gaps between the ends of the vari
ous money belts had cut into Mr.
Cobb's facade until he was raw, and
he was so tired from carrying that
i load of gold that after annotating
'"his wounds he turned into his friend's

John McCutcheon tried to start for
Belgium one morning on an 8:30 train.
It Is not the custom of the Savoy hotel
to serve breakfast to persons who get
up at such plebeian hours. It savors
of Americanism. So that McCutcheon
clamored in the breakfast room vuntil
he finally exorted a little mess of ham
and eggs from the head waiter, and
then fell upon a taxi and scooted for
his train. A -iend went with him.
"111 put your bags aboard," said the
friend. "You get your ticket."
But at one minute of train time Mc
Cutcheon had not appeared. The friend
hurried back to see what had hap
pened. He found McCutcheon in the
clutches of the two fattest door por
ters of the Savoy. He was nervously
searching his pockets.
"I forgot to pay my bill," lie ex
plained, "while I was worrying over
not getting breakfast. These fellows
traced me here and have held me up."
"I'll pay the bill." said the friend.
"Beat it for your train. It's starting
now."
"No, sir." said the fattest porter.
"This gentleman here owes the bill,
sir. He must pay it, sir."
It was so ordered.
Richard Harding Davis got into
Brussels. It cost him all the money
he had to get there, and In accordance
with his invariable custom, he was
then detained by the Germans while
they marched through the town. He
got a courier out with a plea for
funds. . The courier reached Davis
connection in London.
"Maybe the American embassy can
get some money in to him." said his
connection. The American embassy,
on being queried, said it certainly
could. , So the courier was dismissed.
Next day the connection went to the
embassy with the money for Davis.
"Very good," said the embassy
"Now call in your courier, and we
will send this money to Davis."
"The courier has gone back to Bel
gium," said the connection. rWe don X
know him, anyhow.
"Then- we can't help you," sal the
embassy. tj -

WHERE IS "SCRIP" GIVEN?
Scrip" is dven by more than thirty merchants. A
complete list will be furnished by the American Scrip
Company, 516-17-18 Pittock Block. These merchants
give "Scrip" with every purchase of 10 cents or more.
If you make a 10-cent purchase, you get a tenth of a
mile of "Scrip." If you buy a dollar's worth of goods
you get a mile of "Scrip." A five-dollar purchase means
five miles a hundred-dollar purchase means one hun
dred, and so on. No matter what the amount, where
you buy or when, every purchase counts.

the prettiest baby between the ages
of six months and one year; one year
to two years, and from two to three
years. There will also be second and

That the old-fashioned baby show

j lAindon, Oct. 24. Even war has Its
humors. Xnis romlc relief is Just now
being fufn'lshed by the American war

they may be broadly divided into two

to go to the front ana were placed un
der detention. At this writing none
seems to have suffered more than In
convenience. Even John Fortescue was
only annoyed.
Fortescue was somewhere in the in
terior of Belgium when the Germans
swarmed In on the town. Mr. For
tescue put on a clean collar and went
out to Interview the commandant of
the, German forces. He wanted to find
out all about it. Then he thought he
would send a nice, vivid story home.
So Mr. Fortescue found the command
ant of the Germans. He had no trou
ble about it, because aa soon as be got
on the streets a posse of large Ger
mans carrying heavy, brutal-looking
guns took charge of his operations.
"I am an American newspaper man,"
; said Mr. Fortescue to the command
ant. The commandant said:
"Verdommt Yankee." Or words to
that effect.
There does not exist a report of
this interview distinguished by the
terseness and accuracy so desirable
In journalism. Then the large Ger
mans led Mr. Fortescue back to hie
hotel. He had been occupying 'a very
desirable room, with bath. They "locked
him up in a very inferior room in the
servants' quarters, and then forgot
him. Ultimately,- It Is understood, the
Germans .marched away, and Mr. For
tescue was released.
Bam Blytbe and mi Shoe.
Sam Blythe went to Paris. There
he suffered no particular Inconven
ience, except that the cafes closed on
him like an oyster, and the few taxi
cabs were being; used by soldiers, and
the whole town was so dark and lone
some that it made him think of a wet
Sunday In Xenia, Ohio. Until one
morning he awakened to find that only
on of the pair of shoes he bad placed
outside bis door the night before had
reappeared. He sent for the femme de
chambre, the valet, the waiter, the
hairdresser and the carriage starter
without getting any light upon the
mystery of Parts. 80 he sent for the
manager. The manager wears a black
beard, cut spinach fashion.
"Rameses," said Mr. Blythe, "where
is my shoe?"
He had to tell the story all over
again tc the manager. The manager
l told him about the horrors of war.
Mr. Blythe refused o ie diverted
from the main issue.
'Where is my shoeT he reiterated.
"Mr. Blight." said the manager
rather a happy touch I call it "Mr.
Blight, this hotel has been open for 60
years. In all that time no one has
ever reported that one shoe had dis
appeared during the night. What time
did you come in last night?"
This annoyed Mr. Blythe, who is
living on mineral water Just now. He
wanted to know what bearing that
had on the situation.
"Because," said the manager, "1 am I
sure that, If you think, you will re
member that when you came in last ;
night you were wearing only one shoe.
From this conviction the manager
has refused to be driven. Mr. Blythe
persists in the belief that a one-legged
burglar ravagea tne noiei.
When Irvln S. Cobb left New Tork
Broke Her Husband
of Drinking
An Illinois Wtfs Broke Xr Husband
Trom BrinkiB&T Witn a Simple
Xteclpe That She Gave
At Home.
That the liquor habit can be ban
ished secretly is the claim of a well
known Peoria, 111., woman whose j
husband was a heavy drinker fori
years. In a recent statement . . she i
said : "I broke my husband from
drinking with the following simple.
Inexpensive recipe which I gave tse-1
cretly. To 3 oz. of water add 20
grains of muriate of ammonia, a
small box of Varlex Compound and
10 grains of pepsin. Give a teaspoon,
ful three tiroes a day at meal time In
the food, or In the coffee, tea or milk.
This recipe can be filled at any drag
store, is perfectly harmless and has
no color, taste or smell. Any wife
or mother can stop their dear ones
from drinking the same as I have done
and at very little expense." Adv.)
