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

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

or the American eagle. His at-j

on those queer bifurcations, which j

said Mr. Mosher. "I have the mon

rugs. But I see that very few peo

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

A veterinary was called. The
black curley dog had suffered a '

"About a week or so." said the;
veterinarian.
"What'd we tell you?" asked Bus-

And Mr. Do Lap merely cleared '
his throat. :

"I shall take the suit with the

So It was that Mr. Yussuf Mosherj
in the passing of S.1S became a

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!

"It is the suit he sells me." Mr.
Mosher explained. "Before I buy 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

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,
