MANY EARS ARE FOR SALE
Offer of SIO,OOO For New One Draws Many
Bid ders
You’d think ear? were mothers-in
law the way folks, from San Diego,
Cal., to Bar Harbor, Me., are fighting
to get rid of ’em. Ears by express
and offers of hundreds of ears by
every mail continue to pour into the
office of Frank S. Quessada, of New
York City, millionaire Cuban sugar
planter.
This is how it started: Quesada,
who lost his left ear in an accident,
advertised in the papers for a new
one. .
“I’ll pay SIO,OOO for a nice, pink;
graceful ear,” he said. Bingo! Hen
pecked husbands offered their ears
cheap; said tney’d rather not have
’em anyway. A student in a Phila
delphia 'medical college snipped off
the “listening piece” of a dead booze
hound. put the ear in an envelope
and maile it to Quesada. A Nevada
urchin sent a box containing the ear
Os a rabbit.
Mrs. Mabel Truckey, aged twenty
one, mother of two children, and liv-
Uxc: in Detroit, Mich., offered her left
*H.r to the rich Cuban. She said she
had a stylish ear to boot.’
“I can fix my hair so none of my
neighbors’ll know it’s gope,” she
said.
And here’s a preacher who hasn’t
any use for his left “horn.” He is
the Rev. E. H. Donner, of Char
lotte, N. C.
‘T can use SIO,OOO better than I
can two ears,” he wrote to Quesada.
“I tried to earn a living as a minis
ter, but it doesn't pay a living
wage.”
“Ah. let’s make it an auction ear
sale! For up steps F. M. Burkus, Chi
cago. who offers his ear for $6,000.
Who'll make it $j,975? Going! Go
ing! Hold on there, colonel —
Out in Gary, Ind., Tom -Conroy
needs money to buy peanuts for his
pet wampus bird. Anyway, Tom an

for a' measly $3',000. Mrs. C. G.
Marshall, of Spokane. Wash., has a
nifty little ear for sale. It’s never
missed a bit of gossip, she says. You
can have it, Mr. Quesada, for a mere
12.400.

NEW YORK.—While watching a
motion picture called “The Right to
Love,” in the Harlem opera house
. recently, Mrs. Anna Foley, of 468
West One Hundred and Thirty-sixth
street, felt a hand caress her. It
was that of a man sitting in th§
next seat. Then his arm went about
her waist.
Mrs. Foley cut loose with a cou
ple of rights and lefts as fast as
Carpentier’s. Next she seized her
umbrella and belabored the man over
the head. Then she grabbed him by
the collar and marched him outside
to Patrolman Condon.
The prisoner described himself as
Marcus Brown, twenty-seven, mar
ried. of No. 2137 Seventh avenue.
He said to Magistrate Douras in the
night court:
“I won’t dispute the lady, Your
Honor. I guess I did it, but it was
in my sleep. I dozed off when look
ing at the picture and didn’t know
What I was doing.”
Which wasn’t much of a boost for
Mae Murray’s picture. Brown was
fined $lO. ' |

CINCINNATI, O. —There are no
idle hands at Clovernook Home for
Blind, at Alt. Healthy, near Cincin
nati.
Miss Florence Trader, who, with
her sister, Georgia Trader, has
charge of the home, testifies to that,
“We strive to be happy and con
tented,” says Miss Trader, “Work
helps a great deal to this end.
“The blind seem to have no diffi
culty in learning to weave. A girl
'catches on’ to the art in two days
and soon masters the loom work.”
Coverlets, Rugs, Scarfs
Outing flannel cretonne, calico and
ticking are used in the weaving.
Coverlets, pillow covers, table scarfs
and bags are among the articles
which have spread the fame of
Clovernook’s products.
Crocheted rugs, too, are a big feat
ure of Hie workshop’s output. Some
of the blind women are said to be
able to make half a dozen 25x54-inch
rugs in a day.
Miss Trader says no elaborate de
signs are attempted on the looms,
but some of the simple designs
woven into covers and rugs are very
artistic. The women become experts
at the loom and work so fast that
a coverlet 54 by 90 inches is finished
In three or four days. Eight girls

Horns and Whiskers
Are Kudu’s Pride
J
Mb
One of the most interesting of
recent immigrants from Africa is
the Greater Kudu, a beautiful
member of the African antelope
family. The Kudu has long spiral
horns with which he fights, and
long slender legs with which he
runs like the dickens when he’s
trying to avoid a fight.
Nature presented the Kudu
with enormous ears, which as
sure him fine hearing facilities,
frequently needed in African jun
gles. But nobody has yet discov
ered why nature gave the Greater
Kudu such a magnificent collec
tion of whiskers. This truly won
derful beard hangs from the
Kudu neck from fore legs to his
chin.
Only'one thing about the flock
of whiskers is certain: It wasn’t
put there to improve the Kudu’s
good looks.
Given a bit of barbering the
Kudu would just about take any
animal beauty prize.

Does He Deserve a
Meda! or a Fine?
CHICAGO. George Klat, a
comparatively new mail carrier,
found his back breaking under the
load of campaign speeches and
literature he was-compelled to de
liver. He told his troubles to a
veteran —one with a low sense of
humor.
“You poor fish.” returned the
veteran, scornfully, “don't you
know what we do with all that
political stuff? We burn it.”
The idea appealed to Klat. He
was fflund feeding the —ilitical
propaganda Into the furiiace of
the Everett School on Irving ave
nue and was arrested.
"Sure I burned the stuff.” he
admitted. “’Why shouldn’t I? Ev
erybody’s doing it. What good
was it, anyhow?”
Clovernook, itself, the background
tor a/1 this activity, is the old home
stead of the poets, Alice and Phoebe
Cafiy, who, according to later records,
spent their childhood days there and
wrote their first poems in the old
house when they could evade the

‘Baron’ Is ‘Bilked’
Both Inside and Out;
Loses Suit and Chops
CHICAGO. —Into that port of
missing men, Norfh Clark street,
drifted Baron Kajetan Lang of Ha
gendorf, Bavaria, who had lost a
fortune in gambling and was hun
gry. He drifted into the chop suey
emporium of Mr. Chang Foo, penny
wise and foolish as a fox, and asked
for something to eat, preferring pork
chops, admitting he had no money
Wherewith to pay.
Mr. Chong Foo noted that the hun
: gry Baron was wearing expensive
clothing. “For your coat, I will give
two pork chops,” he said.
Off came the coat.
“I want l«ts of gravy, rich, yel
lowish brown gravy, with cream and
butter,” added the Baron.
“For your pants, I will give a
large boat of gravy,” said the im
perturbable Chink.
Off came the pants. “How about
some pie a la mode?” queried the
Baron.
“For your hat and shoes, I will
serve pie a la mode and fragrant
coffee.”
Off came the hat and shoes, and
the Oriental departed for the kitchen.
Then came a disturbance in the per
son of an armed robber, who not only
despoiled Chang Foo of his money,
but made off with the Baron’s ward
robe. So he lost not only his clothes,
but the pork chops and pie as well.
The police draped the despoiled
Baron in a portiere, and took him
to. the station. Later some one do
nated a pair of trousers. The Baron
will assist in cooking at the Bride
well for a few days until friends
can supply him with a coat, hat and
shoes.

BOSTON.—Charles Ponzi, whose
. international postal coupon !
scheme anil offers of 50 per cent
profits in forty-five days, collapsed
two months ago, with millions of
1 public investments tied up in it, I
was declared insolvent by James
D. Olmstead, referee in bankrupt- I
cy. In a report -submitted to the :
federal district court, the ref- |
eree found that Ponzi had no part- I
tiers.
“While Mr. Ponzi is not to be
classed in the same category
with a robber or a burglar, the
decision said, “he was undoubu-d
--ly a clever manipulator who took
advantage of the credulity of the
investing public, which in this in
stance is the usurer.
“Investors who loaned- their
money for a return of the prin
cipal and 50 per cent interest
would seem themselves to be |
guilty of usury if such existed.”
This Farm Produces
$1,000,000 Harvest
The biggest grain farm in the
! world, the Cameron ranch of the
Noble Foundation, 20 miles north
east of Lethbridge, Canada, will yield
a $1,000,000 crop this year.
These tfields a few years ago were
: used only by trappers of the Hud
son Bay company, which is disposing
of its remaining lands to farm set
tlers. Now the farm is yielding its
i- first big harvest of wheat, at an
average of from 25 to 30 bushels to
I an acre.
C. S. Noble, who heads the largest
farming company in the world, began
with half a section, and today his
: holdings total 33,000 acres. He has
L 18,280 acres in crop in all grains.
Sixty binders, 240 horses and an
i army of workers are used to harvest
' the immense crop.—Grit.

plained to the police why he had
been swimming about In the North
river off the White Star Line pier,
Solomon Magidson, of 1282 Webster
avenue, the Bronx, was sent to Belle
vue for observation.
A watchman had seen the youth
paddling about and called Patrolman

tieth Street station. The patrolman
found Magidson crawling from the
river and took him to the station.
While waiting for an ambulance sur
geon Lieutenant William McGowan
asked the youth why he leaped into
the river.
“I am a Russian,” was the reply,
“and I wanted to go back, so I went
to the White Star Line pier anc
started to swim, but the water was
too cold and I decided to return foi
a while.”
