1 TUESDAY, JULY 9, 1918. SCOT BEATS LAW BY A NOSE Thlrtty Sandy, In Wild Race Against Time, Arrives on Quarter Minute and Gets His Drink. Writing In Everybody's, Maude Itadford Warren enumerates some amusing Incidents showing the effects of limited war prohibition In England. One evening the author witnessed the following race against time that was staged near Victoria station, London, at an hour when traffic Is thickest: "Presently a shouting and cursing arose at the center of the Intersecting | streets. People turned, peering and gaping. Streaking straight through ' the traffic, regardless of thundering trucks and sliding cabs and obstructing pedestrians, came a Scotchman. His eyes were glossy and staring; his I ? a kilts were flying; his knees were twin- | * kllKi. On lie came, straight for the * public house. If he could get n hand on a glass of his national vodka by 9:20V?. he was saved. Would he make It? A group of ribald Americans cheered him on, yelling at him In race track fashion. Ills fellow Scotchmen silently made way for him, and some of them even pushed people out of his pat*\ But they did not cheer; It was a matter too deep for sounds. On came Sandy; panting, glaring, he leaped through the door, and a sympathizer from over the seas who followed him reported that 9:29% he had a strong Highland paw curled around three fingers of Scotch. The early closing luw, thanks to good sprinting, had been respected?but nevertheless, the trench hud been taken and the day / saved." > 1 'if MAY KEEP ENGAGEMENT RING Jersey City Judge Rules In Favor of , Girl Whose Intended Sought f ' Return of Sparkler. There can be no Indian givers on the Jersey side of the Hudson, so ? ruled a Judge. In Jersey City, writes a v?>w York correspondent. As a result ? 1 he decision a young swain is out u diamond ring, which he wanted a blue-eyed, petite blonde to return to him. The two were engaged, and, according to custom, he placed the sparkler in question on her left hand. They then quarreled because she, according to his testimony, preferred the tango. Jazz and foxtrot to sitting on a sofa and dls-1 cussing their future. Therefore he broke off the engagement and demanded his presents back. % The Judge was called upon to decide . whether an engagement ring was a 9 gift outright or no-rely a gift contln *> gent upon the fulfillment of a promise to wed. The court then arranged a little "Solomon judgment" skit that worked to perfection, so fnr as the Judge and the young woman were concerned. The Matterhorn. The Matterhorn was the fnvorlte peak of those who "went in" for the 1 hazardous sport of mountain climbing In the Swiss Alps. Now reports sny j that there Is no more mountain cllmblng being done. It Is easy enough to gin-ss why, writes Niksuh. For those *** who went around the world lo' ?ng for hazardous occupations before the war there is now no need to make extended search, to stop at expensive hotels, or to hire a retinue of guides. Nineteen nations offer the adventurer more or less of a salary along with board, lodging and hospital facilities for the pleasure of risking his neek. No wonder mountain climbing has fallen off. 4m There are those who sny thnt It jwill never again regain Its old high estate. They rather think aviation will nttraot most of tho devotees who survive the war. But your true mountaineer laughs at such a suggestion. For him there Is no thrill to replace the one la*40Ms as he swings by his,, fingertips over a SOO-foot drop. ' ^nch Aristocracy Works.

They don't see that that Is not all there Is ' to It," declares a war correspondent, whit It Is natural enough of eourse. A dres man writes a book about the war.

If he goes Into It In the right spirit he will find that It ' ' Isn't so bad as It Is cracked up to be. t',e And then he will be In u great state of cern Indignation because the reports of It wen have made It seem so awful. peni When he realizes that It Isn't so eopj bad, he mustn't forget to sit down and jn tell the folks at home!

In the course of the conversation he asked Mr. Kmerson what ho j*an laughed at. In all the writing of the j leas Concord philosopher there Is not a ! Pn'1 joue nor even n trace of humor. I < or Kmerson replied that he never talii laughed. P,t> "Oh, yes, you do. father," cried the j family. "We hear you laughing In the (.((n garden." "Well," Emerson said, "I do some- ' times laugh at something I read when m:l' a hoy, but It Is foolish and not worth hi in putting In n paper." I hi Mr. Conwell said that was just what use he wanted. tin Emerson then told about an Agitated young man who wrote two letters, one ;ml to his washerwoman and one to his lady love.
