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

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."

!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.
So successful was the experiment
^ that after the entire family had been
worn i?ui answering the telephone tlie

W Rebuilding Ypres.
W Present conditions at Ypres are described
by a correspondent in the London
Morning Post :
' When 1 saw Ypres last." he"writes,
"four years ago, it was a huge mound
of broken stones and only the relics
of the Cloth hall and the Cathedral
Church ?.?f St. Martin t<>l?! riiat it had
once been ;; town. At that time only
a oat could walk Through iis shattered
streets with safety, and men Ihvd in

"THE PUDLIC BE DAMNED!"
Southern Xews Bulletin.
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. Then
V> r* hor?i >Yl'1 fro?>.lance. He nrowled
among the railroads, gathered what
he could, betrayed eon-fidences generously
and sold his output at 'some- ;
thing' an article.
"One evening William H. Vanderbilt
aHived with some friends. He
was on his private car which was
sidetracked in an out; of the way corner
of the Michigan Central yards.
Dicker learned of his whereabouts
and pos*?(! otF for an interview. Mr.
Vanderbi.lt was at dinner, but it was

''This was too much for the infuri-j
ated Mr. Vanderbilt, who interrupted !
his tormentor witn trie ejaculation..
'The public be damned; you get out!
of here.' i
"Dresser scurried off to the News!
cfiice, told- the story in great glee and j
wanted to sell an article based onsMr.
Vand'erbilt's phrase which he had ex-1
torted: 'The public be damned.' But,
the night editor would have nothing]
to do with it. Instead, he roundly j
denounced Dresser for the whole bus-!
in ess.
"Then Dresser went off to the Chi-f
cago Tribune and, cautioned by his j
experience at the News' office, avoid-'
. !
ed any surest!on that he had aroused
Mr. Vanderbilt's anger, and made ai
sale.
"The result was the pir' .lcation j
which did the railroad business in-1
calculable damage, and as much as J
anything led to. the agitation which j
followed against transportation com-;
]>anies.
"So here we have the unromantic j
truth about the famous phrase. What j
