THE TIMES. PAUE THREE

AUTO CRASH BREAKS NELLIE'S WOOD LEG

Once Is Burned Up, Now It's Shattered, and So Jake Is Peeved. Jake Diajr.ond was on his vay to see a. iawy&r this morn;ng with blood in his eye and bandages athwart Iv.s chest. Jake paused in his journey to ten tow Nellie, his faithful threelegged eteed. suffered the pain and humiliation of being struck .amid-ships by a Dodge ajtomobilt, Saturday. His own misadventures were as nothing to Jake. Pahl What cared he for a fractured rib. But Nellie! She must be avenged. You have heard no doubt how Nellie did the flaming tango one frosty morning; several yearj ao. In case the story is new to you the recent happening will serve as an excuse for Us repetition. The Firot Mllm. The first ' flash-back shows Jake eated atop the lumbering wagon call

ing his warn to the good housewives'

of Logan street. Nellie plods along

her head down and eyes half closed j

for she-Is permitted by her kind master to doze as he walks. Coming to the crossing of the Michigan Central railroad, Nellie catches a hoof in the frog of the rails and fall:, breaking the leg. Th'e police come'to shoot the prostrate animal, but her appealing eyes catch thope of her master and he refuses to permit the brutal murder. A veternarlan is called and the fractured leg sawed off at the ankle. In a few days Nellie is once more about town limping slightly on an artificial leg but making- satisfactory progress. A few mornings later Jake was up early, administering to the wants of

the beast. The hydrant outside the;

barn had frozen and Jake built a bon ' fire surrounding it. He was at workj greasing the wheels of the wagon when Nellie moved up to the blaze, at-I traded by Its warmth. Some strands!

of straw clinging to the wooden leg oaught are and in a moment Nellie was off. head and tail high In the air, the hoof burning briskly. Rons Wild A Leu Blazes. The Are department was called and pursued the frightened'mare. 'The Are ? wij extinguished by a stream of chemicals shot from the hose cart on the run. And now after several years, Nellie's sensitive soul Js once more rudely shocked. This time Jake and Nellie were buffeted about on Oakley avenue by a. Dodge, driven by one George Ma-

.Joda, a Japenese of Crown Point. !

Nellie's new wooden leg was splintered by the Impact. Nellie was shimmying with fright and indigation. After turning the above story In to the city editor, the reporter was firmly but gently led out of the office. He is believed to be a victim of the excessive heat.

new idf as on a comparatively old subject, 'I'atriotiiin.Mr. Conroy brought out the need for patriotism during the "peace time war" through which the nation is passing at the ' present time. He said: " Each and every man, woman and child must strap on his knapsack and help win this war in the time of peace. Every man, woman and child should have the slogan, 'America always.' "The Grand Army of the Republic stationed its poytg throughout the country after the civil war In order that they rr.ixht bring us through to victory in the same manner in which they did during the war. Sf it is with the American Legion. Their help Is needed as badly now as it was during the fighting period in order that the ideals they fought for might be brought to a realization in this country that stands for universal liberty." The oral boost was fsjven by Har. land D. Ander:vn of the Northwestern Mutual Life Insurance company. He delivered a splendid discussion of life insurance as it is today, in comparison with the type of .yesterday. The silent boost was iciven by William E. Lnnic of the Peoples' store.

From the" Squeal Book." In the absence of the owner," the house at 123 Condit street wa subjected to an attempt to enter. The would-be thief or thieves broke a window In the rear of the house, but were frightened away before gaining entrance. The Whiting police report that Andrew Howatt of that city, lost his Ford car through theft at Jackson park, Chicago. The moior number was 4874523. The machine had green lenses on the head lights. Heekleman, of Truman avenue, complains about 4he milk wagon horses eating the grass when deliveries are in progress every morning. He want the matter looked Into.

AT THE PARTHENON. Tomorrow there will be seen on the screen of the Parthenon theater "Minima's Affair." presented by Joseph M. Schenck and released by Associated First National, in which Constance Talmadge is the star. It is a delightful comedy, one of the most pleasing vehicles in which the legion of Constance Talmadgc's admirers have yet seen her. It is from

the pen of Rachel Barton Butler and won the annual prize offered by Harvard University for the best play written by a student. Mew Torlc and other cities have already endorsed the play as presented on the stage. The director. Victor Fleming, Is said to have succeeded in making It even more delectable than in plaform. All the clever lines which gave the play such vggue are preserved in the laugable titles. Alias Talmadge, not only repeats her former trumpha, but actually ascends to new heights in her interpretation of the role of Eve, it is said.
