Ills own story In the Chicago Herald
Is as follows;
"I was bom with a silver spoon In
my mouth, but It did uot stay there.
"In January my father told me to go
aud make my own living and learn the
value of a dollar.

"Well, 1 thought that would be easy.
bo I went to Helena. Ark., where I
worked for a lumber company for five
months. They laid me off on the 13th
of August, as there waa not enough
work, Not finding any position down
there, 1 started for Chicago,
-1 arrived here on the ISta of August
and started to look for work on the

for n'few weeks I begun to remise that

It ever had before. .... .
"My one meiil would cost 1110 be

MASON TELLS WHAT
IR MOVES MEAN
vNew York, Oct. 29. The onion of
Gorman and Bulgarians In the
northeastern corner of Serbia con-
cerna Great Britain more than It doea
Serbia. , The junction walteffected,
not to threaten Serbia, but to estab
lish a quick route for supplying muni
tions to Germany's Impoverished ally,
Turkey.
These munitions, however, muat
move over 30 miles of mountain high
ways In 8erbla and 100 milea of Bul
garian roads before they reach the
Orient railway. . Such a move can
only be countered by a rapid con
centration of the allies either In Bul
garia or Turkey. And the Germans
will be, able to equip the idle Turks
with needed auppllea unless the allies
cut their communications.
Hence, ihe challenge to the allies
Is serious. Ita effect on Greece and
Roumanla can not be a source of aat
lsfsctlon to the allies.
MILLION LOSS.
(Continued from page 1.)
Are atarted shortly after the em
ployee had quit for the day and
waa discovered iftout 6:45 o'clock,
names were abootlng up through the
roof and out of the higher wlndowa.
Only desperate work, on the part of
the firemen prevented .the flames
from reaching adjoining piers.
Wlllman, the man arrested, la said
to have made remark to R. B. Brad-
shaw, a dock worker, before the fire
that caused the latter to be auspi
cious. He related the conversation
to the polio. Bradahaw said he and
Wlllman were in a nearby saloon
shortly before' 6: 46 o'clock and that
he said to Wlllman that he was go
ing; to work at Pier 14 in a few min
utes. "Don't be too sure of that," said
Wlllman, according to Bradshaw, and
after the fire started he la alleged
to have said; "I told you you might
not work at the dock tonight. Tier
5 will be next'.
It is freelr reported from reliable
waterfront sources' that 6,000 bales
of cotton, valuqd at about $300,000,
destined for Russia, wore burned last
night when Pier No. 14 was destroy
ed by fire. Cotton ts essential in the
manufacture of explosives,
Dodweil & Company, Limited, an
English shipping Arm, which oper
ated the dock, denied through Its
California manager, A. F. Haines,
that any such amount of cotton was
on the pier. He placed the'amount
at "about 500 bales."

rested after the fire because of an
alleged conversation with another
longshoreman In d water front saloon

SOLDIERS AND CANES.
Ensllah Military Mn Muat Not Go Out
Walking Empty Handed.
It is one of tbe regulations of the
British army that every soldier when
walking out must carry In bla hand a
stick In order to preserve a soldierly
appearance and prevent, anything like
slouching lu bin. pnlt. ' -
This rule applies to all ranks, and
should any one seek to evade It he
would find his progress burred by tbe
sentry at tbe barrack gate or entrance
to camp. ' v r . . . r v
' Ferrates generally, carry light canes
or "swagger sticks." noncommissioned
officers fairly stout sticks, nnd officers
Invariably' go In for tbe more expensive
kind. It Is a question tbut hu often
been asked. Who flrrt suggested the
Meat But nobody seems to know. '
From the earliest times drill ser
geants and drum majors have carried
sticks, and tbe fashion may have come
from that fact Soldiers as a rule buy
their own sticks, but In oue or two reg
iments S recruit U presented with one
when be gets bis uniform. If this gets
lost, however, be ban to buy the next
and subsequent ones.
There Is a story told of a soldier one
day who couldn't And his cane and.
knowing he wquld be challenged if be
didn't have, something In His band,
quietly picked up a poker and passed
through tbe gate all right wMtb It In
his fist Dundee Advertiser. '

Revolutions tn Haiti Didn't Bother the
, Old Darky 6ttlar.
During oue of the revolutions in Hai
ti a party of Americans made a riding
tour of the mountains. One morning
a memler of the party suddenly drew
rein and pointed to a lone ridge where
an old tattered stars and stripes flut
tered on n bamboo pole. .
"We must psy our respects," some
one said.
After some search they found a path
that zigzagged up to the wild place.
Tbey followed It and at last discovered
nn aged negro sitting before his wat
tled but smoking his tpe. while be
kept an eye on the flag.
"What's tbe flag forf some one ask
