The Embusques.
The French papers have been busy
of late with the case of the “em-
busque,” which is the name given to
the man who chooses a safe job in
the army. An incident seen last night
on the fringe of Soho suggests that
it is also applied to those who do not
choose the army at all. A couple of
French soldiers over here on leave
(they were in joyous mood), coming
down a side street, passed the kitch-
ens’ of a well-known French restau-
rant. They were attracted by the sight
of the cooks in the kitchens and
studied them attentively through the
grating. Then they began to taunt
them with shouts of “Embusque!” The
harmless necessary French cooks be-
low, startled in this rough way in
their “ambush,” were furious. There
was an angry clattering of pots and
pans and an elaborate slanging match
between the cooks and the soldiers.
The language was rich and varied,
and in the storm the sharp 'word “em-
busque” sounded like a bitter refrain,

Long-Buried Bucket of Gold Dug Up in Phoenix
P HOENIX, ARIZ.—Guided by a map and directions given by the man who
i buried it deep underground many years ago, a local business man, assisted
by two Mexican laborers, unearthed a bucket said to have contained between
$4,000 and $5,000 in gold. The digging
of the treasure is vouched for by re-
liable witnesses.
Armed with pick and shovel, and
a dipping needle, the men made their
appearance at the point where the Ari-
zona Eastern track crosses Ninth ave-
nue. Proceeding west along the right
of way they finally came to a stop at
a point approximately 150 feet from
the crossing, where, after a careful ex-
amination by means of the needle, they
began to dig. Passersby, interested in
knowing why they were making an excavation that rapidly assumed propor-
tions, were given evasive answers, and after the hole had attained a depth
of eight feet were given to understand that they were not needed. Boys,
playing in the vicinity, were ordered away after one of- the Mexicans had
uncovered an old bucket, which appeared to be heavy, and which was
hoisted out of the hole with some difficulty. An automobile, which had
apparently been waiting in the vicinity, drove up, and without waiting to fill
the excavation the men drove away.
A number of people visited the excavation, which they found to be nine
feet in depth. Their examination justified the belief that the men had located
an old well, which many years ago was filled up, and that the treasure, or
whatever it was they secured, had been concealed there in the early days
of the city. rPhen a young Mexican in the neighborhood, who was a mem-
ber of the party, and who evidently knew more about the affair than he cared
to tell, returned with the two men who dug the hole and had it refilled.
Whether the treasure was cached in the old well after a big robbery, or
whether it had been hidden there by an old prospector, are among the ques-
tions being debated. One story has it that the money was the property of
an old and crippled prospector, "who had ,been taken in and cared for at the
home of a Mexican in that vicinity, and that as a reward for their kindness
he directed them to the place "where he had, years before, hidden his fortune.
Dogs Are Made to Feel Unwelcome in New York
JkTEW YORK.—It is dog daze and not dog days in New York just now, and
if the enemies of the canines continue to put over “reform measures” in
.the jame profusion as they have within the last few weeks, the lot of these
erstwhile pets will be almost unbear-
able. Recently dogs of every size
were ordered muzzled and leashed
whenever they appeared in the open,
which, in addition to their collars and
license tags, gave them considerable
impedimenta to tote about. Of .course,
the owners of the dogs objected, and
probably the animals did not welcome
the innovation, but the officials of the
health department stoefd pat, holding
that canine life in a great city should
be made as uncomfortable as possible.
So the stores dealing in toilet and other articles for dogs did a thriving busi-
ness, and every canii>e appearing in the streets was as effectually trussed up
as if he had been a wild lion.
Noting, however, that the dog owners had bowed to the mandate concern-
ing the muzzle and leash as the best way out of a bad bargain, but had stead-
fastly refused to send their pets out of town, the health department cast
about for some further means of handicapping the city dogs. And, being
more prolific with ideas to curb dogs than to stop the soft coal and the un-
necessary noise nuisances, they came forward with a new list of “don’ts,”
which will prevent such of “man’s best friend” as live in New York from
doing almost anything while in the public thoroughfares but wag their tails.
Wicked.
“I stole three bases today, pop,” said
the young hopeful proudly.
“Willie,” interrupted his mother, be-
fore the boy’s father could express his
appreciation of the feat, “you go and
put them right back where you got
them. I’ll not have it said that any
boy of mine is a thief.”
And she doesn’t understand to this
day what made the male members of
the family laugh.
GET POWER
The Supply Comes From Food.
If we get power from food, why not
strive to get all the power we can. That
is only possible by selecting food that
exactly fits the requirements of the
body.
“Not knowing how to select the right
food to fit my needs, I suffered griev-
ously for a long time from stomach
trouble,” writes a lady from a little
Western town.
“It seemed as if I would never be
able to find out the sort of food that
was best for me. Hardly anything that
I could eat would stay on my stomach.
Every attempt gave me heart-burn and
filled my stomach with gas. I got thin-'
ner and thinner until I literally be-
came a living skeleton and in time was
compelled to keep to my bed.
“A few months ago I was persuaded
to try Grape-Nuts food, and it had such
good effect from the very beginning
that I kept up its use. I was surprised
at the ease with which I digested it. It
proved to be just what I needed.
“All my unpleasant symptoms, the
heart-burn, the inflated feeling which
gave me so much pain, disappeared.
My weight gradually increased from 98
to 116 lbs., my figure rounded out, my
strength came back, and I am now able
to do my housework and enjoy it
Grape-Nuts did it.”
A ten days trial will show anyone
some facts about food.

Sneeze Bombs Halted Legislation in Harrisburg
I_ff ARRISBURG, PA.—The free and continued use of “sneezing powder” and
malodorous chemicals and the bombardment of members with pamphlets,
books, newspapers and “spitballs” have developed as the latest and most
effective means of halting the passage
of legislation of unpopular character
in the Pennsylvania house of repre-
sentatives.
The officials of the chamber were
unable to abate such performances
and much important legislation as a
result -was delayed.
One night “sneezing powders”
were scattered throughout the house
and these, together with malodorous
chemicals, made the air so bad that it
"was necessary to open the windows.
A number of persons, among them women, were also forced to leave.
Speaker Ambler repeatedly called the house to order and asked that the
scattering of the powders be stopped.
Next day conditions were even worse. One debater who tried to make
his voice heard on an important bill was utterly disregarded. When Rep-
resentative Hess, who was in the chair, asked the house to “kindly be in
order” he was answered with a chorus of “Noes” from all over the floor.
Chicago Street Car Makes New Route for Itself
^vHICAGO.—Street car No. 6042, running on the North State street line, had
been downtown many times—twenty or thirty times a day for some years
past. It was considered a tame car, tractable, unafraid of automobiles, and
one that would stand without hitching.
Imagine then the surprise of the
24 passengers in the car when it
tossed off its nosebag, so to speak, and
ran away the other afternoon. It al-
most got lost.
Conductor 9072 and motorman 5507
saw, when the car came to State and
Lake streets, that they couldn’t cross
the bridge. There was some trouble
there. The car grew restless. It
wouldn’t wait. It galloped west in Lake
street. At Dearborn street the con-
ductor and motorman got out, looking for a switch. There was none. Sev-
eral cars piled up behind it. At Clark street the car crew hunted another
switch, and at La Salle street and at Fifth avenue and at Franklin street.
At Franklin street there was a switch—south. The car took the curve
‘und sped on south to Randolph street. A long string of cars was in its wake;
Old 6042, jn a place it had never been before, remained cool and unper-
turbed, although it was becoming homesick. East in Randolph street i$
wandered until a wide open switch revealed itself at Clark street. Then up.
Clark street, and over the bridge to Kinzie went 6042, and over Kinzie to the
good old, iamiliar State street pasture.
The passengers, who had been wandering what was what, breathed sighs
of relief.

itors have my sympathy.

Celluloid Watch Crystals.
At the outbreak of the war Amort©-
can watchmakers were much con-
cerned regarding the watch crystal sit-
uation; the German source of supply
being shut off, and previous attempts
to make them in this country having
failed.
Watch crystals of glass are now be-
ing made here successfully, and an
American inventor has helped the
matter along by devising a celluloid
watch crystal, which has the beveled
edge and general appearance of a
glass crystal and possesses the ad-
ditional advantage of being unbreak-
able.

NOVEL FREAKS OF LIGHTNING
Common Trick Is That of Undressing
Its Human Victims—Few Queer
Instances Cited.
The antics played by lightning are
sometimes almost beyond belief. A
common trick is that of undressing
its victims. In 1898 two girls and an
elderly woman were standing by a
reaping machine during a storm. A
lightning flash struck the woman and
killed her on the spot, while the two
girls were stripped to the skin, even
their boots being torn from heir feet.
Otherwise they were safe and sound,
but astonished.
In 1855 a man was struck by light-
ning near Vallerois, in France, and
stripped naked. All that could be
found afterward of his clothes was a
shirt sleeve, a few other shreds and
some pieces of his hob nailed hoots.
Ten minutes after he was struck he
regained consciousness, opened his
eyes, complained of the cold and in-
quired how he happened to be naked.
Such instances have been recorded
again and again. In one case a man
and two oxen were struck simultane-
ously, and all three killed. The man
was found stripped to the skin and
his boots had been carried thirty
yards away.
“In other cases,” says Camille Flam-
marion, the eminent French astrono-
mer, “lightning has been known to
split men in half, almost as with a
huge ax. On June 20, 1868, this hap-
pened to a miller’s assistant at a wind-
mill near Croix. The lightning struck
him and split him from his head down-
ward in two.”
She Was Willing.
He walked timidly in and looked
around in a hesitating manner. Hia
wife—a large, portly woman—towered
over him. A lady from the desk came
forward. The' man spoke:
“This, I presume, madam, is suf»
frage headquarters?”
“It is.”
“I came in to offer my services as a
speaker for your cause. Are you loofep
ing for talent?”
“Yes, sir; we are. Every little helps.
Thank you. So you are friends of the
cause?”
The man’s wife now spoke.
“Not exactly,” she whispered. “I’m
an anti—even if he isn’t But I ap-
prove, ma’am; I approve. If my dear
little hubby here wants to speak in
favor of suffrage, and you are willing,
so much the better. As you say, ev-

Unkindness.
If we will remember unkindness, it
is well to begin with our own. Those
we have received are not usually one-
sided, and the bitter words whose
memory stings were seldom entirely
v/ithout provocation. This, at least,
is true: If, on examining our animosi-
ties and resentments, we find our-
selves wholly blameless, it will at
once become easy to forgive. The per-
son hardest to pardon is the one
whom we have wronged, and the
breach most difficult to heal Is the one
where we are unwilling to face the
consciousness that half the guilt was
our own.

Hits the Particular
Southern Taste
Long ago Yankee notions of cook-
ing gave place to the dainty, toothsome
cookery of the South, and today in Boston,
New York, Philadelphia or Chicago the
honors for “extra good” items on a hotel bill
of fare are shared between the skill of the
Parisian chef and the dictation of the South-
ern housewife to her skilful “mammy.”
To match the culinary skill of the South-
land, a new, unique and ready-to-eat com
food was originated —
Post T oasties
The praise of Southern women for this
delicious dish seems to indicate its great
measure of success in a section where ex-
ceptional cookery is so common.
If you are interested in something “sweet
to eat,” that requires no cooking, has a rich
corn flavour, and carries a pleasing smack of
satisfaction, why — order from your grocer
a package of Post Toasties.
