FORCED TO MARKET IN RAGS : Frsnch Centleman Driven to Desperate ' Ruse to Obtain Enough Food for His Family. Everit R 'IVrhtine, imhli^her of !he j Boot and Shot* Recorder, tells this j story of a Frenchman's ruse u> meet the high M>st of living. 4'!?i .>f iho \f,niiturrtint>ni1 I'iflfS ! *" VI mi .'1' - - - J of France 1 spent many days the j guest of a French gentleman whom I have known for several years. He had j a delightful villa, but was in the ' position of most middle-riass peopH? i in need of sufficient money with which j to maintain appearances in keeping ! with his station in life. One morning i I left his house early to take a dip in the Mediterranean; returning to { the house shortly after 7 o'clock i was amazed to meet in tiie corridor a rrampish-looking individual whose appearance was entirely out of keeping with the general surroundings. I j said to him: 'What are you doing ; here?' He looked up at me with a ! queer smile and I discovered him to j be my "host. In amazement, I said: ; whorv rhu rmiTT^r have vou been i run over by a tram car? You are j looking all mussed up." lie replied: *1 have Just been down to the market and this Is the way 1 have to go. The peasants who bring in the meats, fruits, and vegetables are such wicked robbers that if I should go down dressed like a gentleman. I would have notli- j ing left, not even my clothes. So. I j go down with this ragged old suit, bend over my shoulders and shuffle ' along through the market stalls. When I see something that I want 1 begin to haggle and bargain with the peasant. That is the only way I can get food enough for my family with the money that I have to spend. It' I had my way I would hang every cheating peasant to a lamp post." i IMPOSED SENTENCE BY WIRE This Is Probably fie Most Novel Use K to Which the Telephone Has Been Put. The telephone has long been recognized as a valuable aid in fighting ^ forest tii ^s. but it remained for Stanley ^ C. Walters, chief forest ranger of the district surrounding Hood River. Ore., t to put it to a novel use recently when he discovered two campers who had left Sres burning, contrary to forest fire regulations. Calling up Justice Onthank of Hood ? River, the ranger gave his "testimony" oyer the telephone, the justice listened A ... U ; 1 fKnit IQ Ult* CUUipcns nanc tucjr pleas of guilty and imposed fines of 1$25 each upon the unfortunate nature lovers, authorizing Walters to collect the money on behalf of the court. 44I didn't even jret the names of the offenders," Mr. Onthank is quoted as spying. "Mr. Walters promised to provide me with the data when he comes down to pay over the tines, in order tha: I may keep my docket records straight." I !Home After 260 Years. For the first time since they marched south from the border under General Monck, 260 years ago. the Coldstream guards officially revisited Coldstream when the old colors of the Second battalion were presented to tbe town which gives the regiment Its name. ? The color party consisted of ten officers and forty-six other ranks;, including part of the regimental band. LThey wore full dress, with scarlet tunics and bearsl^ns. The King's Own Scottish Borderers, as the territorial regiment provided a strong contingent to welcome the guards to Cold I.ana lme u,r ruui*r* At an impressive ceremony in the market square. within a few yards of the house in which General Monck liad his headquarters, the colors were formally handed over by Lieut. Gen. Sir Alfred Codrington. colonel of the Coldstream guards. They were accepted on behalf of the town by Provost Carmichael. Afterward, headed by the regimental band, the colors were escorted to the parish church. ?London Times. j Wanted Lir.e Pet Out of Order. "onprsror. will you Dlease see that ? * my telephone is put out of order?" This strange request came over the wire the other day from a Lynchburgh, Ya.. telephone subscriber, who explained that his hell had been ringing almost constantly for over live hours. He had, the man explained, inserted an advertisement in a local paper announcing that he desired to vacate an eight-room residence, giving a telephone number for inquiries.

The origin of the famous phrase, j "The public be damned," which for: years has been used with telling effect by railroad baiters, is revealed by Melville E. Stone, for many years! editor and proprietor of the Chicago j Daily News and later general manag-1 er of the associated press, in the fol- j lowinq; which appeared in a recent is-' sue of Collier's Weekly: "Back in 1882, Clarence Dresser was a free-lance reporter in Chicago.; He was one of the offensively aggressive typt?always impotunate and usually impudent. Such reporters are not the best, and Dresser had,! because of his tireless audacity, proved a failure as a news gatherer' and had been employed and speedily dismissed by all the papers.

But, the night editor would have nothing] to do with it. Instead, he roundly j denounced Dresser for the whole bus-! in ess.
