JOLT FOR "BAR LANE"

i Mutual Inquiries Established That Ev.srybody Saw What Everybody

Else Saw-Anyhow It Was aGood Temperance Lesmon.

Chicago.-West Madison street istrying to solve the strange mystery ofthe wicker sultcase and the eight-footsnake. In some ways the tale hasmore wriggles than the story of themahogany table and the clucking hen.

A young man wearily moving west-ward with what appeared to be aheavy and aged suitcase stopped Infront of 1341 West Madison street andlaid his burden down. He looked allabout him and then cautiously stoopedI and unfastened the catch of the suit-case and threw it open.

Ye Mystery Appears.The corner policeman heard a

scream of fright and saw the youngman legging it westward. Habituesof "bar lane" beat the policeman tothe suitcase for one look at the thingthat turned the self-contained youngman into a frenzied caitiff. Then WestMadison street fell back in disorder.

The head of a snake appeared andthen eight feet of snake wriggled outon to the sidewalk.

After many mutual inquiries bywhich it was established that every-body saw what everybody else saw itwas decided to call the police wagonand one was rushed to the scene forth-With.

The snake erawled back into thesuitcase soon after the police arrived

and after the receptacle had been tas-tend with 00 feet of clothesline itwas taken to the station.

The poliee believe thatthe msnake and suitcase had been stolenby the young man who was seen tpfee after opening the sultcase. Theiitias "L. B." were on one aide of the

Policeman Galigan and his follow-nr insisted the reptile was a rattler.

UP THE LADDERBy EMILY WARRINGTON.

(Copyright, 1917. Western Newspaper Unlon., i

Sidney Bruce had a "Job." WarrenTrask held a "position," a differencewith a decided distinction. The for-mer was merely an underpaid clerk ina big dry goods store. Trask wasmanager of a department.

The latter loved to lord It over thosehe considered and treated as his in-feriors. He strode into the roomwhere Sidney was marking some rugs,assisted by several fellow workers.

"Special matter for you, Bruce," heannounced in a sharp mandatory way.

"Very well, sir."Trflsk always took the "Stir for a

mark of )beisance and acknowledl-ment of bh. superiority, whereas Sid-ney used it as a barrier to preventfamiiarity, for he did not like theman.

"Errand boys all out and this is arush order. It's part of a weddingtrousseau for the rich Miss Delby, overat Acton."

"Thyre are no trains until afternoon," suggested Sidney.

"I have thought of that and dulyprovided," Trask caught him up by say-Ing, in his wise grandiloquent way."Our buyer has his horse and g ghere. Says he won't use it this after-noon, and you can spin over to Actonand back in two hours."

There was no doubt that therewouldlbe some "spinning," for the mo-ment Sidney went down into the Courtwhere the rig was, he noticed the firein the eyes of the steed. Sidney tooka firm grip on the reins and by thetime he reached a clear road had theanimal well under control.

An automobile flashed past. at asharp curve in the road, and the horsereared, curved and gave the gig aswing that carried it off its balance.Sidney was thrown clear of the ve-hicle, the lines torn from his handsand when he recovered his scattered'senses the rig was out of sight.

It was late in the afternoon, fullytwenty miles from the spot whereSidney had been thrown out of thevehicle that automobilists cameacross the horse and gig, the formerdone out and cut with flying flints atthe fetlocks, and the gig minus awheel and a wreck. The box contain-ing the wedding dress had disappeared.Pretty well depressed, Sidney reachedhome to report his mishap to Trask.

What mighty importance did Traskassume in adjusting the scattered is-sues of the case I He reasoned like alawyer and pronounced his verdictlike a judge. Sidney had to pay forthe 4ress, a matter of over one hun-dred dollars. That sum used up sixweeks' salary. When the last dollarof the cost of the dress had been paid,Sidney bade his employers a dignifedfarewell and started with bare salsto further exploit his craft on the un-certain sea of business.

A new enterprise had been startedin the town by a man named Greeley.He had gone into the finer grade ofhouse furnishings. As Sidney waspassing the store Greeley called himin.

"I've wanted to speak to you forsome tune," he told Sidney. "I knewit was no use while you were workirg,for you're not the kind that leaves anemployer in the lurch except for ajust cause."

"I am looking for an openlng." 8id-ney frankly admitted.

'.Very wel. Here is(my propositlon:A reasonable drawing account, five percent commission, and If you can workup an average of fifty thousand dollarsa year I will take you in as a part-ner."

Sidney Bruce started in his newsphere of business activity with vimand confidence. There were manywealthy people scattered through thedistrict and within a month he hadbrought in quite a number of orders.One day he learned of a Mr. WardeUll,who had just moved into a fine man-slon that had been vacant because oflitigation for years.

Sidney found Mr. Wardell w. iathe market for complete renovationand fuarshing of the house. Hestarted to take Sidney tlrough theplace jotting down te suggestions.

"Here is the muste room and danceball," spoke Mr. Wardell, comlng toan open archway. "A vlsitor, daugh-ter," he called out.

81dney had observed a gracefl fem-Inine fgure standing before a peatpier glass, posngn, arrayedln the wedding dress that had acosthim position and money. The girl,beautiful in the extreme, turned qucek-ly and then ran from the room. Herfather laughed freely.

"One of the servants found a be.contalini that dress in the woodssome time ago," he explalnd. "Wecould not discover the wner sadIdalla seem to enjoy dressing ,am-til her own wardrobe appears."

8Sdney amased OGreeley by tGrntgin an eight thousand dollar order andwas busy of and on for ea month atthe Cedars, giving the workme in-stroctions

Now Warren Trask overtepped hisorders one day and was let et."Bruce seems epandrng," he ob-served to a casual aequalntance esday, as Sidney flashed by ia an auto-mobile,

"Oh, he's got beyond job or posi-tion," was replied. "He's a bors, noew-partner ia Greele & Bruce."

"That soe' mumbled Trask emviously.

"And they y he's gIol to marrythe daughter of the rich owner of theCedars, Miss Idalla WardelL" Whiewas true.

Washlngton.-The eating ef morepetatoes for supper, or for luncheon.If the family is accustomed to hare din-net at night, Is a suggestion of theUnited States department of agricul-tuare, in order that the tremendous eropof tubers produced In the UnitedStates this year may be utilied asfully as possible and spoilage avoided.Such increased use should, at the sametime, bring about a saving of grain,since one common result of eatingmore potatoes is the eating of lesswheat bread, which is a reasonablesuggestion when one remembers thatboth of them are used as a source ofstarch in the diet This reduction ingrain consumption is desirable, the de-partment points out, and there is greatneed of grain for shipment to our sol-diers and to the soldiers and civiliansof other countries engaged with us inthe war against Germany.

The use of more potatoes for lunch-eon should be a simple matter, in theopinion of specialists of the depart-ment of agriculture, since praetieallyall Americans like potatoes and sincethere are numerous ways in which thetubers may be prepared to avoid asameness in the diet. Potatoes, eveIa their simplest forms-baked andboiled-make good luncheon dishes.They may also be used for saking avariety of dishes, such as creamedand escalloped potatoes, with or with-out cheese; stuffed potatoes, potatecroquettes, and so on. Combinationdishes, such as hash, stews, meat pieswith potato crust, and so on, In whicha considerable amount of potato isused with other foods, may coustitutepractically an entire luacheo, beinghearty enough to serve for the purposewith a little salad or fruit or sweats.

Hats for winter resort wear, alongwith other apparel for tourists that

journey southward, are all ready forthe companies of women that willsoon turn their backs upon the landsof snow. A glimpse of them is allur-ing enough to fix a wavering purposeand determine those who may to fol-low them to the ends of theearth; that is to those ends that pro-

ject themselves into the Gulf of Mex-ico, or the South Atlantic, or the Pa-cific in California. Wherever theygo they must vie with the best efortsof millinery designers.

Many of the models prepared fortourists are not so distinctly summer-like as to bar them from wear in thenorth, but the greater number belong

only in lands of the sun. At the topof the group pictured, there is a fineturban of black sipper straw, withcrown-top of black satin. It is a typi-cal southern tourist model, beautifullyshaped and simply trimmed. Its broadspread of black, glossy wings suggestsSight in a happy course-southward.

The black hat at the left, of ma-lines and panne velvet, bows to edictfor simplicity in millinery and makesus marvel at the style and beauty ofits lines. It belongs to no section orclimate, being an adaptable hat forafternoon wear anywhere; and dresshats of this kind now extend theirusefulness to evening wear also. Itcould hardly be simpler, with its fin-ishing touch merely a pin that cannoteven be classed as "fancy." Its headSis a long coil of panne velvet, and that
