LITTLE STORIES OF THE STREET : Squire I:ck Hunter, adjusted his far-seeing glasses on his acquiline nose, chuckled in friendly fashion and remarked, "Haije you heard about Sam Kirkpatrick and ' "the alarm' clack?' Xbbody. had ever heard ' the Etory. .'Sam," said the spectacled magis trate, "was trying to set the clock in my office this morning, when it, sud denly went oft at a husky pace, ring ing out an alarm that penetrated the Law building. ' . " ' 1 "What did Sam do that's the story. Sam jumped like he had been snake bit." "" ; ----.v - --'t':u ;. "Why do . you say .'snake-bit, Squire," asked a voice. : "Land's sakes, man, Sam asked right away If I had any liquor; .'course he thought he was snake bit. And 'Squire Hunter's remarkable deduction is still the subject: of excited discus sions around the court house when the day's work is over" and the denizens of the building assemble together to pass the time away. . '- ' his, personal, traits would point to the lattery He once got out of a scrape for playing ; craps at a penny, a shot, by turning- State's evidence. This would mark him for high finance. His extreme content - with the world as it would seem to pick him out for the cheap clothing store ' business. The conflicts of the two ' ambitions will doubtless constitute the only struggle that he will ever , know. With every thing else he is supremely satisfied, else whence that perennial smile, which was put on his freckled . face by a hand that did not consult him one way or the other?. . The clothing store and the high fi nance "will later claim Usllowltz .as a victim. Mr? Chambers believes the latter will one day be invaded by the Indomitable form of David : Usllowltz. His cosmopolitan following of Amer ican Hebrew and Syrian extraction, is interested only by the smile, the rest less moving all the whole and the quaint magnetism of this son of Israel. by night and : when he" gets' home he will celebrate, not only ttie fall of Adrianople, but the who:e - long line of Greek triumphs from the: day of the Spartans down ' to the present, for Tony- ls the son : of warriors whose Rattles and victories constitute the his tory, of Greece. ; r ; A ; T : , Tells of Complete Relief from Skin Disease by ; -Use : of d; D. -1 : ' V 's- c v:.' ;.' y ' '" V ''i After having i a regular' physician and a specialist " treat .Tmy- six year ' old child for eczema on the head for five months and no benefit being derived, I reluctant ly consented that the head be shaved preparatory " for further treatment. ' A few hours later I narrated my ex perience to Mr, McLaughlin - of . R. H. Jordan & Co., and he strongly recom mended three Ds. - Having faith in; him but .knowing nothing of the Prescription I." D. D., I purchased a EO-cent bottle. ''Getting a move on" I was in time to call off the . head shaving, and started using D.- 'D. 'D. Instead Improvement was marked' In one week, and , the torturing Itching almost wholly allayed. After using less than three regular size bottles, " all signs of eczema were gone in five weeks.

Chambers one Saturday night not long since, as the fiery red. head of David Usilowltz, newspaper . vendor, was suddenly thrust Into the main en trance at Jordan's and a . voice, half man's and Jialf that of a healthy young animaL yelled, "New York American, ten cents." - "Why. that kid was going .around thij other night crying, ,Two thousand souls lost in a shoe factory,, but the last words were not caught ' by the people on the streets. That boy Is des tined for great riches." J David Usilowltz is the king in the local field of street sales of newspa pers. His imitators are many 6ut hia eauals in selling papers are few. He rises up while Charlotte is still asleep, and by sunrise he has pocketed a man's wagea when business Is good On such occasions he collects a mon grel assortment of company and , at the Gem Restaurant or somewhere ise, he struts in, mounts a high stool and orders hot dogs and coffee When 5ae has devoured the- first order of sausage, he orders the second, lavers :ne links of . hog-meat over with mus tard, and swallows them in two efforts. Tilien he noisily makes his exit, follow d by admiring . satellited, - and . once more begins extractng nickels ' and dimes from the public's pocketbooks. TJsilowitz possesses a personality that s nard to .analyze. Spending his days :n wind, rain and- sunshine, roaming wver the streets from the Southern de pot to the square, and from the square to the farthest ends of "the- business section,, he has by some guiding hand or fate, . had his . name 'enrolled at -a business college and is already learn- f hue, and his heart has gone back to ;ng to figure interest rates and the d:s- Lthe fair land of. his fathers. Tony sits Since the fall of Adrianople three days ago, Tony Kirlakos has decided to make a flying trip back to the old country just as soon as he can wrest himself away from business cares. - Since the Allies marched' into the besieged city' some days since, Tony haV, been sitting in front of the new billiard parlors and shoe-shine head quarters where the Orpheum was once run, wrapt , in . deepest reverie. Tony's silence f was not due to melancholia. He has been making a desperate' ef fort to control his pent-up feelings. "If I was Just back in Greec I'd start . something," he confided . to a friend this morning. ; "In " the old - ountry, declared Tony, as his eyes began to flash forth the Hellenic fires, "I could get my pis tols and make some noise, but over here, by the shades of ; tato, I can't do anything.".;: . . "Yes," said the home-sick young Greek, ."nobody cares If we do shoot over , there because we are all Greeks and we don't shoot at ' men like you do over here. We shoot into" the air and nobody kicks," either." Tony- then confessed ; that during a former celebration' in the old coun try he had smashed up 35 glasses in a bar-room. "It cost me 75 francs," "he admitted proudly. "I went home with 600 and came back with $7," he declared, "and I am going back to celebrate again this Fall."
