'PEACEFUL SALT TURMS BERSERK Mild-Mannered Chicago Tailor Has Interesting Encounter With Hold-Up Man

IS TAPPED ON HEAD Then, O Boy! Jurt Drop Below and Read of the Divers and Sundry Things This Caveman Did to Those Burglars, Chicago. For so many years that loop folk have conic to regard him as an immutable Institution. Samuel (loodman has been plying his needle and pushing his tailor's goose In the little shop at 5 East Congress street. Gazing at the humped figure, squatting crosslcgged on the old, wormeaten workbench sewing new affinities for widowed button holes, snipping a frayed cuff, rehabilitating a shiny elbow the compassionate philosopher would have seen a symbol at the crushing pace of modern civilization. And would have observed that Mr. Goodman was far very far removed from our Jungle forebears of prehistoric times. Two Husky Callers. "Peaceful Sam," as his customers call him with patronizing geniality, received two callers one night husky young men. who leered as they closed the front door and asked: "Well, what have you got?" Mr. Goodman uncrossed his legs, climbed down from the work bench, smiled apologetically, bowed, 'and. miring his arms to a level with hi breast, palms up, thumbs horizontal, shrugged his shoulders and said: Ah, my friend, I have some fine tivmlpno In the window. I Will make you a suit with two pairs of pants for ."Don't kid us. old top." en Id on of ' the visitors. "We want your Jack. Put 'em up." and he prodded Mr. Goodman with a revolver. Mr. Goodman's eyes popped. Ills knees knocked. He trembled as with ague. "Don't shoot, my friends. I will give you everything. The visitors laughed. It was a good Joke, so good that the one with the gun deftly turned it about in his hand and rapped Mr. Goodman Jovially on the head. The old man staggered. A . -v He Bit Them and He Beat Them. drop of blood appeared. Another and another. It trickled down his eyes, his cheeks, and into his mouth His tongue moved and then Sam Cuts Loose. Ills knees stopped knocking. He stood suddenly firm. The hump disappeared from his back. His tongue moved again. There was a glint in his eyes entirely alien to loop life. It was r0.0t0 years old. that glint. And the gleeful bandits found, themselves of a sudden on the iloor under a scratch in p. tearing, foaming caveman. He bit them and he beat them.

FEATHER TRIMMING FOR HATS Heron Afgrette, Hsron Breast Feathers Rryl . Paradise Favorites for - Millinery Decoration. Feather trimmings for midwinter hats are markedly in favor. Heron aigrette and heron breast feathers rake the lend among feathers de luxe. Paradise, too. is used. Glycerined ostrich and natural ostrieli are having a big vogue. Co(iue feathers are also 'Mich in evidence, and hackle and oth t'r brilliant neck and breast feathers :ire frequently seen as borders on turbans. - Paris milliners generally are showing very eccentric" feather effects on both -tnrbans and large shapes. Some of the. new feather covered turbans look almost like wigs of bobbed hair, irregular and unkempt. Especially is this true when the hat is in .dark brown. These feathers in no small degree resemble the monkey fur so popular last season. Among the new ostrich trimmings are slender, drooping, quill-like ornaments of glycerined ostrich which are used In a disordered brushlike arrangement, giving the hats an appearance of the head-dresses of savage tribes. These wild looking feathers have appeared on both velvet and panne hats. Another ostrich trimming still used Is the flat glycerined plumes as a covering for small and medium hats, with the long dragging ends falling off over the brim. These, too, have a very savage and unkempt look, but are considered very smart. Ostrich pompons again are popular. j,.(t -'-4.

PARIS WEARS SHORT SLEEVES

Arm Covering So Abbreviated That Bracelet Is Worn Above the Elbow by Young Girls. Over In Paris they are still wearing short-sleeved dresses and so short that the abovMhe-elbow bracelet is used with such dresses, especially by the very young girls whose arms are as slender above the elbow as below. The French study the psychology to a much greater extent than we when considering a style. For Instance, one authority says that no woman should wear long sleeves whose head Is not perfectly well dressed. With her hair properly marcelled and with perfect boots a woman may wear long sleeves with great advantage. And come to think of it. can you not picture the woman with beautifully dressed hair as a very dainty lady ?ndeed in a gown with long plain sleeves? If she has a good complexion, says the French critic, let the gown be black, but with a bad complexion avoid black. In these days of made-up complexions, however, almost anyone may have a good one. A bracelet made of a band of pearls Is worn outside the long sleeve, just above the wrist, or the watch on a black 1and of ribbon Is used instead, outside and not Inside the sleeve. The Jersey Returns. Wool jersey overblouses for women are among the new novelties. Several recently seen were cut to fit the figure very snugly about the shoulders and bust, so snugly. In fact, that the old-fashioned jersey jacket or.hasque was brought to mind. Collar, cuffs and banding of angora in contrasting color and heavy wool embroidery constitute a popular trimming for these overblouses, which are designed for sports wear, and worn with plaid wool skirts or plain color skirts matching either the blouse or its trimming in color. Fashionable Shades. Important in the millinery world are a new ruby shade and a startling turquoise. Rosettes of Malines. Little choux "or "rosettes of milines are added to one or both shoulders of some of the newer evening dresses. Tiny bouquets of fimvers or small feathers are used in the same wnv. A prisoner in a New York court paid a fine of $2 with a J1 bilj that had been raised to a ten. was given $3 in change and walked away. The judge is disposed to reopen the case. He holds that the priMHieT overlooked the formality of 'asking the court whether it had anything to say why something should not be passed on it. The American Legion is still trying to induce the government to cut the red tape for the benefit of disabled former service men, but as yet the government has not been aroused beyond the point of intimating that it may consider the advisability, of doing something. A Chicago doctor says the drinkers of moonshine fiquor spin like a top. When a man is with his wife, it might be just as well from now on, in greeting him, to dispense with the heretofore harmless salutation, "Old Top." The larger cities are complaining of the increase in crime. Crime is that j disregard of law and righteousness that is seldom committed by people who do an honest day's work. Work Is the preventive of crime. Reduced prices for soda water sounds good if the fountain proprietor doesn't try to even matters up Inputting in more of whatever it Is In soda water that is gone by the time it i handed to you. This country's bill for laundry work and use of hotel linens at the peace conference cost $04,909. which would Indicate the members of the party had a clean napkin almost every meal. Pensacola announces that coffee has returned to five cents the cup. It looks as If the tlnw is at hand when even the beggars will stop tossing the nickels Into the gutter. A London minister declares that there will be no jazz in heaven. Oh, let us all lead better lives and strive to be worthy of that happy land! No matter what the experimenters may do, a prune, however succulent, will still remain only a prune.

SILENT CONVICT MAY NEVER SPEAK

Man Who Served 25 Years for $84- Theft Blames Speech for His Troubles. 1 Boston, Mass. "Corkey" Hanley, who went on a "talk strike" ten years ngo because an Idle sentence he dropped pot him into prison, and later extended his sentences, Is ' free, bi he still Is silent , Physicians who have been asked to 1 examine him declare his silence has cost him his voice, that even though he wished, he can't talk now. Itut he doesn't wish to speak. Every time any one begs him to do so, he writes: 'T shall never speak again. My tongue has got me into too much trouble already." When his mother died three . years ngo, she begged him to say something The Old Prisoner Was Obdurate. to her, his sister entreated on her knees that he grant the mother's dying request, but the old prisoner was obdurate. The same request was made by his father, before he died, with th same result. Patrick J. nanley, better known to his friends and Inmates at the statu prison as "Corkey," ceased to tall; when he confided the secret Yf a counterfeiting machine he had constructed, to a friend In prison. The friend Informed prison officials of the "mint," and Corkey was given a fpw more years imprisonment to his sentence. Prison officials, physicians and relatives have done everything possible to induce him to answer questions, even to offering him freedom, but Corkey preferred to remain silent. "It is possible he is dumb now," Warden Elmer E. Shattuck at the prison says. "Ills muscles haven't been used for so long they may have lost their power." The sisters, too, do not believe he is feigning dumbness. The nearest he came to speaking was when he made a guttural sound as he viewed an airplane sailing over the harbor. It was the first time he had ever seen one. Hanley was convicted under tlie Habitual Criminal Act after being found guilty of stealing shoes worth S4. He was given a twenty-five year sentence. The finding of the counterfeit apparatus added sojne more years to his term of imprisonment. He Is now 4G years old, and has spent raost of his life behind the walls.
