Missed Seeing the “Crack" Place.

A few years ago one of the oddest and most •‘original’’ of American travelers did a short European stunt with some friends, most of the “doin’s"'belog in Paris. When he returned he was asked if he had seen everything In the brilliant French metropolis. “Oh, sure,” he answered In his droll, squeaky voice. “We saw all the great bullyards, and the Champs Eliza, and the Boys der Bologna, though there wasn't a sassldge in sight, and the Jardam Mobile, and the Mooley Rooge, and the rest of the things with names I couldn’t get any tongue around, all but one place which had a sign on all the bussesand street cars. That was ‘complet.’ I told the boys It must be a great place, hut I Hever could get them to go there. They shld the word meant that the darn thing was full, do seat left, nor straps to hang to, but I’m sure It was the name of some crack place, and If Pd been alone I’d sure got there."
