establish a world-wide friendship, a

ready to break at a moment's notice,
and a friendship these youths will not
break under any circumstances.”

The Good Fellow
o o
Bop Beeswax was a good old scout..
!as every one agreed; but in old ag*
I he's down and out. and broke, and
! gone to seed: he cannot buy a ran
jof kraut, he has no chickenfeed.
When he was in his prime ho earned
I all kinds of iron men; in his profes
] sion he was learned, a gifted man
* was Ben: and no panhandler e er was I
I spurned, who touched him for a ten.
j He never learned to answer "No.
j when people made appeals for just
| a sample of his dough, to buy them
i beds or meals: and as he journeyed
i to and fro he passed out many wheels.
Whoever passed around the hat was
sure to look for Ben. and he’d pro
duce his wallet fat. and cough up
sundry yen, and murmur gaylv, "That
is that —when broke, pray come
again.” Some friends who had his
weal at heart would question him at
times: "Before your golden years de
part. why don’t you stive some
dimes? A bank account you ought
to start—your careless ways arc
crimes.” But Bon. he was a good
old scout, he had a heart of gold; some
fellow needed helping out, some skate
was starved and cold, and so he
threw the coin about, with gestures
j free and bold. Now Ben himself is
I needing aid. he wearily toils by; he
j saw his power and prestige fade, his
l fortunes go awry, and he is old and
I worn and frayed, he needs a pumpkin
j pie. And some he helped long years
! ago are now in Easy street, and
| heedlessly they see him throw his
j tired ami stumbling feet, through sun
j and wind and rain and snow, and
| offer him no treat. The portals of
| the poorhouse yawn some parasangs
| ahead; when he has nothing left to
j pawn, he’ll seek that place of dread,
; or. haply, in some wintrv dawn, lie in
an alley dead. WALT MASON.

ACCUSED LIQUOR DEALER
HAD ‘CREDIT LIST’ ON FILE
By the Associated Press.
ATLANTA, November 12. Some
2,000 people, high in this city's civic,
social and business affairs, were given
ratings in the "credit list” found in
the downtown office of J. B. Turner,
confessed liquor merchant, according
to local authorities who searched the
quarters following his arrest.
Names, it was announced, were fol
lowed by "o. k.”. “good,” “fair” or
“had.” to indicate promptness of pay
ment and, say the off!cels, broad
mindness about infraction of dry
laws.
Turner, caught with two quarts in
the court house, forthwith admitted
his guilt and was sentenced to 12
months on the chain gang.
Whatever uneasiness his clientele
may have felt was quieted when the
solicitor's office declared the list was
useless as evidence, since the names
inplied no actual possession of Tur
ner’s wares. v 1
WALES FACES MOB
OF EAGER ADMIRERS!
Rescued by Police From
Throng at Armistice Day
Celebration in Scotland.
By the Associated Press.
LONDON, November 12. —A crowd
of eager admirers, who nearly mobbed
him. forced the Prince of Wales to
seek refuge in Scotland Yard after an
Armistice day celebration at the
Cenotaph. When the prince was inside
the yard the crowd tried to rush the
gates and the Prince had to pass
through the yard to the Victoria em
bankment to reach his car.
The Prince and Winston Churchill,
chancellor of the exchequer, attended
a service at the Cenotaph. As the
Prince turned to leave there was a
wild roar of cheering and shouts of
“Wales.” The crowd, waving their
hats and flags, surged madly toward
him.
Police quickly closed around the
Prince. A squad of mounted men
fought their way through th* 4 shouting
mob. They formed a lane, through
which the Frince with difficulty
reached Scotland Yard. The great
gates of the yard closed behind him
The Prince noticed his companions
were still outside and asked that the
gates be reopened to admit them.
The gates swung open, the crowd
surged forward again. The pressure
of these struggling thousands was so
great that they almost conquered the
police. The demonstrators were wildly
singing “For He’s a Jolly Good
Fellow.” The police finally conquered
the crowd and shut the gates.
Many persons fainted during the
demonstration. On the fringes of the
crowd and in sidestreets there was
some rowdyism, hut all were cleared
away within an hour.
