Perfect satisfaction guaranteed by Nick Doffing MADE BRAVE FIGHT CONVICT'S REMARKABLE BATTLE FOR FREEDOM. Record Walk Across Africa Is His How He Reached Europe Only to Fall Into the Hands of His Enemies. London News was received la London re cently of the death of Joseph Cres wlck, who while fleeing from justice accomplished one of the most remark able walking feats on record, says the London Globe. Creswick was undergoing a sen tence for forgery in Rhodesia and while being conveyed from one prison to another by train (as reported some months ago) conceived the Idea of escaping from his guards. As his legs were heavily ironed the task was by no means an easy one, but one night, when the train in which he was being conveyed was between Buluwayo and Salisbury and his guards were asleep Creswick quietly opened the carriage door and jumped out. When he reached the ground he fell but was not badly hurt During the remainder of the night he shuffled along in the dark and at daybreak could see the railroad in the distance. He decided to walk in a straight line from it, which he did for several days, still with his feet shackled. iiM Day after day and night after night he rubbed his irons with the sharp est pieces of rock he could find until at last he was able to throw his man acles aside. After this Creswick went on with great strides through the un known country in which he found himself, his sole object being to get to some white settlement. Some weeks after his escape the wanderer had a wonderful piece of luck. In a hut apparently belonging to a settler he found a gun and some ammunition, which wnder the circum stances he did not hesitate to take possession of. With the gun he managed to shoot several zebras and other animals, which provided him with a welcome meal but unfor tunately his gun got out of order be fore his ammunition became exhaust ed and he had to rely upon fruit for his sustenance. Just when Creswick was coming to the conclusion that he had been walk ing 'round and 'roupd without making much progress be fell in with some natives, who gave him certain direc tions as to how to find "a very long water," which Creswick concluded must mean the River Congo, and for several more weeks he continued his tramp. Eight months after his escape from the train between Salisbury and Bulu wayo Creswick was found by a party of Belgians lying in a weak and fever ish condition about two hundred miles from Leopoldville on the Congo. They nursed him back to health and strength. At Bomba. arrayed in all the glory of a pair of cricket flannels and a football jersey provided by his new friends, the fugitive found a ship on Which he worked his passage to Antwerp. From there he got a ship to London. That, however, led to his undoing, for while walking in White chapel he was recognized by Detective Inspector Belcher of Scotland Yard, who. arrested him on the charge of es caping from lawful custody. He was taken subsequently to Rho desia as a fugitive offender, and for his escapade he was sentenced to a further term of six months imprison ment during which he died.

'f' SOCIAL DIVERSIONS (Scene—Any large house on one of Chicago's fashionable streets. Before it are numerous motor cars and car riages and the strip of bright velvet carpet up the steps shows that an aft ernoon tea is in progress within. Two women, one in gray velvet, the other in green broadcloth with heavy hand embroidery, approach hastily down the sidewalk, changing to a leisurely pace as their feet touch the bright hued carpet.) Woman in Gray—Thank goodness, we didn't meet a soul outside and any one seeing us now couldn't tell but that we had driven up in that electric motor standing at the curb! Woman in Green—Our car is in the repair shop and— Woman in Gray—It's been in all winter, hasn't it, dear? Anyone would think you didn't have one at all. I knew some people who did that to save garage rent—not that I mean—of course— Woman in Green (hastily)—Good ness, they've hired all the waiters in town, I think—four men in the hall alone,! Yes, I'm going upstairs first. I'm going to keep my coat, but I think it's a shame for a hostess to fix her bedrooms up and have nobody see them. I heard that she had her own room done over completely in Circas sian walnut and blue brocade, but I don't believe it, for a man told my husband that her. husband was run ning awfully close to the wind. Well, it is Cireassion walnut! Did you ever! Mercy, this is cheap face powder! Woman in Gray—Lottie Thorston is here—that's her coat, the moth-eaten looking one. She's worn it for ten years, I believe. Let's go down. Isn't there a crowd! I suppose everybody came because there weren't many other things to go to to-day. You can't make me believe Mrs. Klimber is so dreadfully popular. She's just push ing. Look! Her dress Is a fright! How do you do, Mrs. Klimber! It's lovely to see you again! My dear, your decorations through the rooms are charming and make such a becom ing background for you in that sweet frock. Woman in Green—How are you, Mrs. Klimber? I needn't ask, because you are looking awfully well. Dear me, there are so many people behind me that I cao't get in even a little bit of chat. I'll move on! Woman in Gray—She's got Mrs. Ce dar and Mrs. Lake assisting. Now, how in the world did she manage that? You needn't tell me I know she just grabbed and cornered them! That's her way! Just because she has a little money she dares try anything! Any body can make a showing who.is will ing to do that! There's Sarah Hittey over there and isn't she terribly made up! Anyone who didn't know she was 35 would say she looked positively young. Good afternoon, Sarah! I was just saying how sweet you looked! My dear, where did you get that per fectly stunning gown? It makes you look positively 8llm! S 2* S vs., Geo. Kness, Secy, V~ W 'v "No one glancing at you would think you weighed as much as you do! I remember now, you had a lavender satin year before last and you've just had it covered with the spangled stuff and made over! Well, that's clever and most people would never dream it was an old gown. Woman in Green—Let's go on out into the dining room. I want to get near that woman with the coral wil low plumes so I can have a good look at her. Why, haven't you heard of her? She's the one who tried to rope in the Glendennings' son and his mil lions. She's ten years older than he and divorced and he was crazy about her till his father sent him to Mozam bique or Oshkosh or somewhere. Go slowly. Well, all I can say is that he certainly was crazy. I think that type of face with the big oriental eyes and scarlet lips is perfectly unladylike. It makes you think of snake charmers and things of that sort. Why are men such idiots? Woman in Gray*—That's not Mrs. Klimber's lace tablecloth. Every place Maccaroon has served this winter I've seen it! Orchids on the table! Well, I suppose she struck a bargairt sale, for there's $100 worth there! Woman in Green—Isn't that Etta White at the coffee urn? They say her grandfather will leave her half a million. No wonder she is called the most popular debutante! My mother knew her mother when she had to scrub her own kitchen floor! Did you ever taste such weird sandwiches in your life? Woman in Gray—They're awful. And I know that whipped cream is part egg. I expect the Klimbers had to save somewhere, since they got the Circassian walnut. And such little dabs of frozen punch! I know where she got those plates—I saw them at a mark-down sale one day. With these lights the gold on them looks almost like real hand work. Look at those women in the door, glaring! I think they want our seats. Some people are so ill bred. We can get upstairs through this door. Goodness! Look at the way things are piled on my furs! I' never— Oh, you say you jUst this instant laid your cos* there? Well, sable crushes so. Oh, Jhat wom an stepped all over my train! What a pretty handkerchief on the floor! I I can't find my own so I'll just keep It. No doubt the owner is gone any how." Are you ready? Woman in Green—Yes. Hurry be fore the doorman shttuts out to ask your carriage number. Good-by Mrs. Klimber—such a lovely time! Woman in Gray—A perfectly charm ing afternoon! Good-by, Mrs. Klimber! Open-Air Barbers in Spain. Fingers that smell of garlic, soap that gives no latber, a razor that may have been used for cutting a raw ham, and a flourish tbat reminds one of an executioner rather than of a barber—such are the qualifications of the itinerant Spanish hairdresser, de clares a writer'in the Wide World The victim—we use the term advised ly—must be a patient, long-suffering man, neither the slave of time nor of any petty feelings tuch as delicacy and sensitiveness, a otherwise he will fare badly at the halids of his torturer. For the Spanish opin-air barber is a calm man, who takes everything for granted, and never for a moment doubts that you are satisfied with his attentions and will pay him accord ingly. 3*^-* f.

A Peculiarity of Dreams. As to dreams, there was a discus sion at the club lunch, and one man remarked that no man dreamed of himself as braver than he is.
