When General C. O. M. Plaint, Allover,

that th general waa properly quartered
and entertained.
Th general's first Inquiry was for his old
friend. Colonel L. A. Welsh of th weather
bureau, and as he disappeared In that di
rection with a gun it began to look as if
something was going to happen. But as the
weather bureau had shut down for the day
after hoisting th cold wave flag, th gen
eral returned to th hotel and ,quleted
down. He finally .admitted that he merely
represented th "ajaneral oomplaint all

and then changed his patronymlo on the

John Grant Pegg, city Inspector of

His cup runneth over, but his bottle Is
gone.
That's the real difficulty. Mr. Pegg was
journeying about th city with his wagon
making those official grocery store calls
when some thieving vandal stole and bore
away a quart of fin liquor stowed away
under the wagon seat
"A man who will steal whisky will rob
graves," declared Mr. Pegg. - A man who
will steal a bottle off the 'city Inspector
wagon while It Is on off lctal business, la
guilty of treason. He la a renegade t
civilisation) an unregenerat and withal a
villain.
"That bottle was a present to me, and to
steal It In the face of a cold wave Is doubl
Injury." . 1
