WAS FILLED WITH CURIOSITY He Was Just Watting to 8ee Whether Wife Would Carry Out Threat to Go Baek to Mother**. The man was standing behind a tree In front of an apartment house In a cross street when the cop on that beat came pounding along on the sidewalk. It was close to midnight and naturally the cop stopped and looked at the man standing behind the tree, "Howdy,"* says the cop, by way of opening conversation. "You're another," replied the man good-naturedly. "Whuchuh doln'?wflltin' for some body?" Inquired the brave policeman. "Nope." "Just standin* there, hey?" "You've hit It." "Live near here, do you?" "Right In there," says the citizen, Jerking his thumb in the direction of the apartment house he was standing lii front of. The cop looked at him thoughtfully for a minute. "Mebby it's none of my business," he says, "and then again mebby it is. I don't like to go 'Vound buttln' Into any body's private affairs, but tell me, neighbor, what's your graft, anyhow?" "WelU" loosened up the citizen, "if It's a case of me a-tellln' you or you croakln' from curiosity right In front of niy eyes, Til tell you how It Is? provide^ It don't go any further. My wife says to roe when I started down town this evenin', 'If you're not home by midnight I'm goin' to pack up and go right back to mother's. So there!' " "Well?" says the cop. "Well," repeated the citizen, "It's Just about midnight now, and I'm like you?I've got curiosity. I'm waltln' here to see If she's goln' to keep her word." The cop's curiosity ceased at that point, and he walked on down the street, whistling, without waiting to see the thing out.?Cleveland Plain Dealer.

If you wilj simply state, when calling for any such advertised ar ticle, "I saw your ad In The Chron icle" you will be giving him Just tt^ information he is most desir ous <>f obtaining, and at the same time yon wltl give your paper Just credit for Its efforts In your and his i>ehalf. ' This may seem a simple little favor we ask of you, but it is big in possibilities to us and to you. If every mechant could know Judt' how many of his customers were attracted by his ads, many more would advertise, and your appor tunitics woulcf be doubled and mulr tlplied. ^fay we not hope you will bear this in mind when next you make purchases?

If the coat be stylish and becoming of line and color, the dress of last year can be worn with perfect confidence. (That is, if you don't take off your coat!) A splendid example of an all-em bracing, all-covering coat is illustrated here. It is made of fur cloth; with the square collar that is considered so unusually smart. The jioeket sec tions, which give the wide hip effect, can he omitted, thus giving a coat built on st.raighter lines. As you see, it is full length, and is comfortable in every respect. The large buttons and the contrasting fur cloth for the collar and cuffs are the only trimming necessary.

The Bank of Camden WOULD QUIT BELGIUM Hut Germany Wants To Name Her Own Terms In The Quitting. London, Sept. 1.M1.?(Jorumu.v v has agreed to evacuate Belgium on certain conditioiiN, it is declared in a German otllclal statement, according to a dis patcli from Heme today given out by the Wireless Pre*#. . Tho verbal note to the Papal Nun cio said Germany would contribute a share of the comiHMisatlon to be paid to llclgiuui for war damages. Belgium would be required, it said, to give a guarantee that any such menace as that which threatened (Jermany in 11)14 would in future be excluded. Belgium must undertake to maintain administrative separation of the Flan ders and Walloon districts introduced by Germany, the verbal note says, he cause this separation corresponds to the wishes of a majority of the Bel gian people and because Germany de sires such separation on account, of racial sympathy. (Jermany It is stipulated, must haw the right to develop her economic en terprises freely In Belgium, especially in Antwerp. The proposal was made in a supple mental note to the Vatican replying to the jwace initiative of Pope Benedict. It was in the form of a verbal com munication made by Foreign Secre tary Kuehlmaun to the Papal Nun cio at Munich, wherein the foreign secretary specified the conditions un der which (Jermany was willing to conclude peace on the basis of tlie evacuation of Belgium. A semi-ofllcial communication in the (Jerman press in explanation of the new (Jerman proposal says the gov ernment intentionally avoided stat ing more clearly the conditions, thus outlined. These conditions are said to he compatible with the dignity <>f Belgium. Germany avoided ^ mentioning the question of the throne because this was a Belgian democratic matter. Germany, the communication says, will agree to any government in Belgium which accepts the conditions set forth The principal question is how the guarantees enumerated can be formul lated. Mrs. ,1.

Camp (Jordan near Atlantn, says an Atlanta, (hi., dispatch.

Ho was going to make them toe tho mark. k At the height of his sjM'eeh the soda Jerker, a cleaneut youth of stock build, took off his white apron and white cap, emerged from behind the counter, and' applied the young officer with some information. "I am a 'conscript,' If you want to call me that," said the stnla jerk er, "hut I don't report until day af ter tomorrow, and I gtiess I'm not un der iron discipline yet." With that the soda Jerker is s&id to have landed on the officer's jaw and keeled him over, and when the llnal gong put an end to the bout the soda Jerker was declared the victor by a considerable majority.
