TALE FROM BIG CITIES

As He Remarked, He Was Slinker Only in Name M >, •-.A ” NEW YORK.—After driving around Central park in an automobile with a party of men friends who disappeared and left him to pay the fare, a man. describing himself as John Slinker. fifty-two years old, of 517 West Forty-

eighth street, was arraigned in the West side court before Magistrate Groehl, when he created a scene in the street, while insisting that he wouldn’t pay more than 80 cents for the drive, as he was only one-sixth of the party. “Why don’t you pay the man," Raid Magistrate Groehl; “it’s only $4.80.” “My goodness, judge, I haven’t that much in the world,” Sliriker replied. After some deliberation the

magistrate, with thy approval of the chauffeur, consented to suspend sentence If the man paid the 80 cents. Shoving his hand down in his right-hand trousers pocket, he brought forth a roll of bills which astonished the court. It bristled with SIOO notes. * With a twist of his finger he peeled off a SIOO greenback and handed it to the dumfounded chauffeur, while laughter filled the courtroom. “Give me my change,” he said. This the taxicab driver couldn’t do and the court interfered by saying, “Here, my good man, pay the full bill. I thought your funds were limited. “Oh, no, judge; I heard you the first time; 80 cents is the limit,” ejaculated ■ the prisoner. •“-- “All right,” said the court; “pay him the 80 cents.” The prisoner fumbled with the roll a minute or so, couldn’t find anything but bills of large denominations, and down went his hand In his left-hand trouser pocket and it came out with another bunch of greenbacks. He pulled off a dollar bill and handed it to- the /driver. Turning to the policeman, he said: “Here’s S2OO for your trouble, and, judge, you're deserving of sso—here. The judge sat back in his chair and roared with laughter. Of course, the officials refused the money, and Slinker started out of the courtroom. When he got to the door he suddenly discovered that he didn’t have his 20 cents change and he went back and got it. As he finally passed out he remarked: “Im Slinker, In name only.”

Tore Up Hats of Woman She Says Took Husband SAN FRANCISCO.—Mrs. Dell Fowler, twenty-three years old, well dressed and attractive daughter of former United States Senator Levi Ankeny of Walla Walla, Wash., was arrested on charges of grand larceny and malicious

married in 1915. Thht they might acquire sufficient money to go into business she says she went on the vaudeville stage as a musician, assisting her husband financially. Some months ago Fowler established himself in business here, and his wife says she returned to San Francisco again to make her home with him. She says she then learned that her husband was attentive to Miss Leslie and she went to Miss Leslie’s apartments. According to the police, Mrs. Fowler attacked her‘husband on entering the place and he fled down q fire escape. She then turned to Miss Leslie, who ran from the apartment, screaming for a policeman. Patrolman James Cullinan responded and found Mrs. Fowler leaving with the garments in her possession and with a suitcase, filled with letters and telegrams.

Action When Mrs. Schenska Went “Over the Top” CHICAGO. —Eggs were responsible. They started an offensive which had a most sanguinary conclusion. Little Regina Schenska wtent to H. Doktorsky’s bakery shop at 1102 North Ashland avenue to buy three fresh eggs.

When Regina got home the eggs were broken. Mother Schenska took a sniff at them. A moment later, with blood in her eye and the shattered eggs in her hand, she sallied forth to battle. Doktorsky was there in his shop. With an aim that belled woman’s traditional inaccuracy, Mrs. Schenska went over the top. Doktorsky tried to scramble away from, the eggs, but In vain. In ft” moment he looked like an eggnog. In the shop were three generations of Doktorskys of the dead-

lier species. They launched a counter-attack on Mrs. Schenska. Casualties were heavy and it began to look like a rout for Mrs. Schenska when the tall . and forbidding figure of Henry Schenska darkened the door. From the workshop ran the foreman of the shop. Schenska picked up a large chunk of plate glass'and smote the foreman on the head. The foreman called it off and lay down peaceably. Doktorsky thought of his home and hearth and grabbed for the canned pickles. He bounced tl/em with venom from Schenska’s head. w Schenska leaped for the Gold Dust Twins, while his valorous spouse began to hurl vermicelli in jars. v Re-enforcements came from the rear —six brawny union bakers.” They instituted a flying tackle at Schenska, who reached the door first, but minus his shirt. In the street the battle continued, with Mrs. Schenska on the sidelines coachipg her husband and shrieking Ashland avenue' epithets at all bakers. A crowd gathered and applauded. Then the police came.

After All, What’s Two Weeks in the Guardhouse? • . KANSAS CITY. —She long had been a friend of the Daw brothers. She had "gone with” Ben, the elder, and was a regular “sister” to Tom. So when she knew both would have to go to war she grieved some, smiled a tot and

Mrs. Fowler was arrested as she was leaving the Atherstone apartments at 545 O’Farrell street, with a tailored gown and an expensive fur cdat which she says her husband had purchased fir Miss Trixie Leslie, the , woman she alleges to have supplanted her. According to Mrs. Fowler’s story to the police, she and Fowler were

spent most of her time writing letters and making candy. Ben got to France a year before his “kid” brother. He saw action and won the gold service stripe and longed for the day when it might be possible to show Tom around. Likewise, Tom hoped for the time he could meet Corporal Ben on the firing line.

Rolled Oats May Be Ground at Home With Food Chopper or Hand MilL USED AS BREAKFAST CEREAL For Making Bread and Cakes It Is Best to Combine With Fine Flours —Recipes Given Have Been Thoroughly Tested. Rolled oats have long been used as a breakfast cereal in American homes, but the use of the ground rolled oats In place of wheat flour in bread and cake making is new to some people. Oats flour is procurable in some markets, but in most cases it does not differ materially from that made in the home by grinding the rolled oats in a hand mill or through a food chopper. Since oats flour Is more granular than wheat flour, better texture can be obtained by using It in combination with one of the finer flours, such as rice flour, potato flour, or corn flour. The quick breads and yeast breads as well as the cakes and cookies made from the ground rolled oats have an excellent flavor. Either the home-ground rolled oats or tiie commercial flour may be used in the recipes that follow. If you have favorite recipes of your own, use them, substituting one and one-eighth Cupfuls of the ground roiled oats for one cupful of wheat flour.

OATMEAL OUTPUT GROWS

Practically the entire output of oatmeal and rolled oats in the United States Is produced by 17 mills. During the last seven years there was a moderate and regular increase in the size of the business until 1917, when the output of these mills Increased 64 per cent over the previous year. The total output In 1917 was more than double that of 1914 and almost three 1 times' as large as the 1911 production. Even with the large increase In 1917, however, the amount of oats used for human ' food Is still only about 3 per cent of the entire oat crop.

Boys and Girls’ Fall Gardens.

The war garden should not be neglected during the later part of the season. Keep every sfoot of ground producing vegetables until frosts end the growing season.) In the northern states there is still time to plant turnips, spinach, kale, radishes, lettuce, and beets, while in the middle Sopth there Is still time to plant all these crops as well as string beans and peas. In the lower South now is the time to plan for a good fall garden. In many sections of the South spinach, kale, lettuce, beets and similar crops may be planted at any time during the fall for use during the winter, as the climate is such i that they will continue to grow throughout the winter. Potato-onion sets may be put out in the fall in almost.all sections of the country.

FIT TO LEAD MEN

Soldier Tells of Spirit of American Officers. Marching Soldiers, Near Limit of Phy*, teal Endurance, Brought Back to Sense of Discipline by Act of Gameness.. , There was none of the thrill of crowded grand stands in the race that Sergt. Harold Baldwin describes in “Holding Whe Line.” It was run by men so exhausted that they could scarcely stand. Yet In that slow, stumbling race-there was more self-denial more heroism, more Indomitable courage than could go into the breaking of world’s records. It was midnight, Sergeant Baldwin says, apd as hot as Hades when wo started from the banks of the Yser. We had been some 22 days constantly in action; again and again we had been launched into the line to help our terribly hard-pressed French and British comrades! Every time a tornado of German artillery fire opened up, we stood ready to advance across open ground to the front line., Judge, then, of our condition for a 25-mile march. At the beginning, they sent us at the double between batteries of roaring 75 and 60-pounders. The awful din was the finishing touch, and our nerves went snap. At last we were clear, and we settled down to a steady hike. On, on, we tramped! Would we never halt? One after the other exhausted men fell. Men dozed as they walked, fell as they dozed, lay where they fell.

At last, as day was breaking, they took us into a field. Here a drink of hot tea, some food and a rest of one hour revived us somewhat. I noticed that one of the officers was carrying a puppy in his arms. It was only a few days old, and I marveled at his wonderful heart in forgetting hi* own troubles and caring for the poor little helpless creature. On again, all through the blazing heat of the day we hiked. Tommies would walk with us, easing our lot in their rough, kindly manner. They promised us Fritz should pay dearly for his dastardly gas attack before they were through. On, on, till we entered, Bailleul. Thank God! Rest, we thought. But no, ever on. And then the men, the limit of endurance reached and mad with disappointment, began to get in an ugly mood. Discipline was sorely strained, and we openly shouted dur opinion of the officers to their faces. And then we witnessed a thing that brings tears to my eyes every time I think of IL Those officers of ours were in no better shape than ourselves; in fact, owing to their responsibility, they were in worse plight Instead of marking down the offenders for future punishment, they, inflicted worse punishment on us by making us thoroughly ashamed of ourselves. Lining up across the road, they bade us halt for a space, telling us that they had a bet to decide, and it must be decided at once. They were going to run a race. Their effort was pitiful in the extreme. Although they started out bravely enough, after a few paces one, then another staggered and fell; but they struggled to their feet and staggered away again. After such an exhibition of courage, what could we do or say? Not only was it a lesson to us, but it is one of the grandest memories I have. There were those battle-weary men, utterly worn out, with nerves on edge, scarcely able to walk,.yet to show that they were game to the end they went through the threefold agony of that race.-—Youth’s Companion. ‘ •

Gold In Old Diggings.

A large piece of virgin gravel has been found in the old Hila diggings at Chaparral hill, near Downieville, Cat, by men who have been mining there on a small scale. The gravel is very rich in gold and Is of the same deposit from which several fortunes were taken in former years. A drift run 100 feet on the gravel has not disclosed its full extept. How this body of gold-bearing gravel came to be overlooked by the early miners is something of a mystery.

Who Is My Neighbor?

By REV. ED. P. COOK, D. D.

Director Missionary Courae.Moody Bible Institute, Chicago

TEXT—Who Is my neighbor?—Luke IS: 29. Read Luke 10:25-27.

In the parable of the Good Samaritan, Jesus is clearly undertaking to

man in need, the man in need of what I have to give, and whose need arises and is made known to me at a time when lam able to give IL If this be true, how amazing and wonderful has become the world neighborhood, and how clearly Is the Christian’s duty to make Christ known emphasized by the universality of human suffering. Like the man on the way to Jericho, nations lie stricken, bleeding, hungry and ready to die. Over against this appalling fact, the like of which the Christian neverfaced before in all the history of the world, stands Christ, God’s only answer to human need. We of America know him. We have him enthroned in many an earnest heart. We have throughout. the land the open Bible, God’s word spoken to sinful and suffering man everywhere and in all ages, words of love, words of hope and words of comfort. How mightily It behooves us in this time of world tragedy and suffering to study the parable of the Good Samaritan and to search our own hearts to know whether or not we as individuals are rendering that ministry to the suffering which human need.requires, and our knowledge of human suffering and our ability to alleviate it insistently requires.

What a reproach that in the master’s parable the representatives of religion—the servants of the Temple of God—passed by the sufferer. Each knew of the case of human need. Each looked upon the toA and bleeding form. Each possessed the resources from which to help. Yet each turned away passing on the other side, deliberately walking away from this revelation of suffering and need, deaf to this cry. So proud, so self-righteous, so exclusive, were these servants of religion, and so devoted were they to the forms and ceremonies of their service, and so filled with the thought of their own importance, that there seemed to be no place in either heart for the milk of human kindness. Will we ever again permit this reproach to be laid at the door of the representatives of religion? Can it be possible that those who profess to be followers of Jesus Christ, and who are the exponents and advocates of the Christian religion, shall fail to exemplify that high and holy love wherewith the master loved men? Shall we forget In the days to come that the master himself In answer to the doubt of John the forerunner announced as the evidence of his divinity and gave as the proof of his adequate ministry to men, that "the blind receive their sight, and the lame walk, the lepers are cleansed, and the deaf hear, and the dead are raised up, and the poor have good tidings preached to them.” Shall we not, as we journey toward the day of world peace, in our comfort of circumstances, in our amplitude of resources, think of the peoples who have fallen by the way? Will not Belgium and France and Roumania and Armenia and great, old, riven, torn and demoralized Russia, draw out of the Christian heart of America the ministry of healing, the ministry of money, the ministry of a Christly love? Surely the great lessons of selfdenial and self-sacrifice which we are learning as a people in this great war will in God’s good providence prepare us for that new neighborhood created by the universality of suffering and the heart hunger of the world. May God in his providence preserve the faith and love of our people and protect our resources in men and money, for a world-wide campaign of evangelism after the war, and above all preserve In the heart of our nation that reality of spiritual experience that will make our world ministry as beautiful and effective as was that of the humble man of Samaria, who helped his brother in need, when that need was discovered and the humble traveler had the means at his hand to render the succor which human suffering called forth. "The greater one’s power with God in constant prayer, the greater grows one’s power with men who seldom Pray.” We plan and plan, then pray That God may bless our plan. So runs our dark and doubtful way. That scarce shall lead unto the day— So runs the life of man! But hearken! God saith, "Pray.” And he will show his plan. And lead us tn his shining way That leadeth on to perfect day Each God-surrendered man.

show the universal obligation of Christian service. The question to whom this obligation is due and the measure of the obligation, confronts; many an honest inquirer. It 18 interesting to discover the meaning of the master’s answer to the young man’s question. He seems to say that my neighbor is the
