TEARFUL PLEADINGS OF CHILDREN . PROVE
MEANS OF SAVING LIFE OF PUP PLAYMATE
Probably yon won't cre to read
this. Just one of I hot dog stories.
You know? Just dn. Not an
aristocrat on a leash. Nothlnit hiRh
hat about him. Didn't post much,
and never had worn a ribbon at a
dog show. Just dog. Just coal
black and curley, but. somehow, he
had the kind of eyes you don't for
get. But, incorrectly, this story has
got Itself into the past tense. The
black, curley hound is still allre.
Of course he's hobbling about now,
but .
It happened the other night. The
pup. which is everything that a
black, curley dog can be to fire
youngsters, belongs to Lloyd De
Lap, clerk of the circuit court.
Through the darkness of South
RiTerside rushed many automobiles:
automobiles jammed with persons
whose laughter could be beard as
the machines speeded past.
The black, curley dog mado a
bad guess. He got too clo3e to one
of the cars.
There was a sickening thud. The
pup whirled about, dizzy with agony.
From the automobile came the laugh
of a woman.

I WISH THE BEAUTIFUL PANTS, THE QUEER

CHICAGO, Nov. 11. "I wish the

society that does so many strange!
and Interesting things with the,
quota from Kurdistan and other re
mote parts of the globe. j
But before quoting Mr. Mosherj
further It must be explained that in
coming to America, he was not so;
much Impressed by the box scores!
or prohibition, the statue of liberty j
or the American eagle. His at-j
tentioa was centered almost wholly i
on those queer bifurcations, which j

language of Mr. Mosher and part
ly because Mr. Marcin sells pants.

said Mr. Mosher. "I have the mon
ey, which I get from selling my
rugs. But I see that very few peo
ple in Schikawgo wear decorations
such as mine. That makes it dif
ficult for me to sell my rugs."
"We have it," Bald Mr. Marcin,
"the one pants suit for S2S and
the two-pants suit for $35. Of
course with the two pants suit you
get more pants."
"It must fit beautifully like the
waxen gentlemen in the window,"
explained Mr. Mosher.
"It will fit just that way," re

Mr. DeLap Inspected hlui.

From Buster and Junior aud
Tauta Anna came. Incredible stares.
"Shoot him?" they asked. "But
he might get well."

"And I don't." said Junior. And,
Paula Ann concurred.
"Well." began Mr. beLap again.;

A veterinary was called. The
black curley dog had suffered a '
dislocated hip. The pup was taken
care of and the lei; went Into a cast. (
"About a week or so." said the;
veterinarian.
"What'd we tell you?" asked Bus-
ter and Junior and I'aula Ann.
And Mr. Do Lap merely cleared '
his throat. :
As was said In the beginning, this
isn't much of a story. Just a yarn
about a black, curley dog, with that

"I shall take the suit with the
many pants." decided Mr. Mosher.
So It was that Mr. Yussuf Mosherj
in the passing of S.1S became a
prospective citixen of the United !
States so thoroughly Chlcagolzed. In
fact, that he Immediately joined the
crime wave.
Wednesday afternoon It took two
seasoned policemen to detach him '
from the person of Mr. Marcin, his!
late benefactor. i
"It is the suit he sells me." Mr.
Mosher explained. "Before I buy I
it I sell my rugs. Now people laugh !
and laugh. I put on even his two I

Gating down at Mr. Mosher's
peculiar legs It occurred to the po
licemen that something was wrong.
They appeared to have double
cuffs.
' "Where Is the other pair of
pants?" said one of the cops.
"There isn't ony other pair," said
Mr. Mosher. "I should not want
them anyway. It Is all I can do
to wear two of them together now."
And the policemen who led Mr.
Mosher away to the station house
were willing to concede that.

AUTHOR OF "BAR"
POEM DIES AI 82
NKW YORK. Nov. II. Il'nlled
News) There died In New York
Wednesday a man who will be
known to posterity a the author ,
of one poem a poem he wrote 0j
years ago. i
Tho man was Hush Antolnej

The poem la herewith called "The I

Only ono man ever referred to It
by the name with which It was
christened, and that was d'Arcy.
who had entitled It "The Face l'pon
the Floor." A few years ago d'Arcy
said he would devote the rest of his
life he was so proud of his poeiu
that It was for him the most prec
ious thing life held -to correct this
error of tltlo.
"I am tormented by this Incred
ibly silly error," he explained.
But It was as a barroom ballad
that the "face" gained its fame, and
was translated Into several other
languages. It Is the one recitation
which rum bounds hare had dinned
in their ears by other rum hounds
since puppyhood; more than two
rounds of drinks were never requir
ed at the outside tu inspire some
one present to rise amid an im
pressive silence to re-dramatixe It In
all its dramatic accents. In saloons,
