ranged them nicely in piles and
great was his surprise later to find
that they had disappeared but it was
only a short time until he discovered
their whereabouts and the clouds of
wrath soon began to form as Mr. Ra-J
jeck informed the parties taking
them that unless they were returned
there would be a severing of diplo
matic relations as -well as a forcible
separation of the ties by law. One
of the young men implicated in the
case proceeded to return six of the
disputed timbers but the possessor of
the remaining six failed to deliver
the ties and the ukase was issued by
Mr. Bajeck that if the ties were not
returned by 9 o'ciock this morning
the power of the law would be called
upon. As tne ties were not on me
spot at 9 o'clock Mr. Bajeck hastened
to the chambers of Justice M. Archer
and secured a warrant for the pos
sessor of the six ties and was busily
engaged in looking for the constable
to deliver the warrant and secure
the return of the ties.

where the finest and most highly idealized type

the finest churches and residences v.e have finish

The preference for DUSTERHOFF INTER
IORS in such cases is due to ths steadily growing
conviction that DUSTERHOFF INTERIORS rep
resent the highest standards of interior decorating.
It is due also in great measure to the feel
ing cf security inspired by cur policy

to provide ;m cxce tie:;r.l value in DESIGN and

the car to lurch to the side of the

into the air and turned over.
In the mix-up Mr. McCleary had

The trip back to Colon from New-
York will require in the neighbor
hood of a week as the transports
make a short stop at Hayti and from
there go direct to the Atlantic en
trance of the canal. This is the first
vacation back to the states ior a
number of years as during 'the war
conditions were unsettled and Mr.
ind Mrs. Lang spent their holiday
period in Costa liica and the Central
American states.
In speaking of the life in the
tropics. Mrs. Lang states that all
through the Central American states
the fact is noticeable that there are
two extreme classes the very weal
thy and the extremely poor there
apparently being no middle class as
in the United States and the radical
differences are very marked .the
people as a whole being a very easy
going and careless type of human
ity, but in the aristocratic class
the traces of Spanish blood are to
be found among the rich and
well educated.
The conditions in the Canal Zone
are, of course, much different as
the American occupation has tended
to benefit the people of all classes
and less of the extreme poverty so
characteristic of other portions of
Central America is found there.
The visit back in the old home
was very much enjoyed by Mrs.
Lang and she returns to the tropic
country greatly refreshed with the
stav in the States and among those
whom she has not seen for several
years.
