AVAST, SMUGGLED FURS, MAYBE?
AWFULLY CHEAP AND DEAR AT THAT
Beware, Milady, When the Rollicking Jack Tar Opens
tip His Mysterious Sea Chest Full of Sables
and Hisses "Sh-h-h" to You
A blast of salt air blew Into nn office
In tho shadow of City Hall. Tanned em
ployes, who had Just returned from sea
shore vacations, looked up expectantly
and wero amazed to seo a genuine sailor
lugging a weather-beaten sea chest. He
put his finger to his lips cautiously,
placed his burden on the floor and closed
the door noiselessly. Then ho said
"Sh-hl"
His mysterious action Immediately
brought tho click of typewriters and the
buzz of voices to a stop. From tho tip
of his stub-toed shoes to tho top of his
barnacled hat It could be seen that tho
visitor was a Bon of tho sea, and tho at
mosphere of the Nancy Lee radiated from
his storm-tossed domes, n is sman won
der that the landlubbers deserted their
craft and mobilized about him with curi
osity on edge.
Before a word could shatter the silence
the man from tho deep bit a chunk from
his plug of rough-and-ready and opened
his chest with an air of triumph. There
was a asp of amazement when Its con
tents came to view. Before the lubbers
could recover from their surprise tho
sinewy seaman passed out an emphatic
wink ns a prefaco of tho nows to come.
FURS FROM LANDS AFAR.
In the chest was a cargo of furs, which
would thrill the heart of tho most fastidious-feminine.
There wero pelts of tho
silver fox, lynx, seal, sable, leopard skins
and parts of the hides of many beasts
which haunt the treacherous forests of
fai off lands. And they were all trans
formed In dainty manner for adornment
of milady's neck. There woro muffs and
collars, stoles and even hats, which
would havo attained pre-eminence in an
"opening" of the most exclusive store.
Mingled murmurs of admiration pre
vented a word of explanation by tho
brawny man of tho brine. In sheer cc
Btacy the spectators soon had his furry
treasures spread on desks and tables, -and
the closed view seemed to enhance their
value. r J . "i
Meanwhile the seaman was looking out
the window In evident amazement at
a nearby skyscraper. "How many decks
atop that craft?" ho asked before there
was a question about the magnificent
Ho gavo a double hitch to his trousers
as he blinked at the sidewalk from tho
high window.
EVIDENTLY JUST LANDED.
"Bet he's Just landed," said one of tho
office force.
"Not aBhore a day," said another.
And before the visitor could even tell
why he happened In he was besieged by
a score of employes for prices of tho
furs- - ... .
Ho seemed to be unaware of their ac-
VALUES "FEELINGS" AT $12.50
Iceman Claims Damages to Sensibili
ties in Addition to Pecuniary Loss
Suffered in Dispute
Are the injuries to a man's personal
feelings worth $12.60? ,..,,.
This question was brought up before
Magistrate Beaton today at tho Central
Police Court when Philip and Bertha
Holtz, of 6741 Woodland avenue, were ar
raigned before him accused of. attacking
Richard Dutton, an iceman, of 704 Wal
nut street. Darby.
Dutton said that when he went to col
lect an ice bill at tho Holtz homo a quar
rel arose over tho amount. Mr. and Mrs.
'Holtz, he asserted, locked him in tho
houso and then called some women
friends to help In beating him.
When the prisoners wero held In H
bail for a further nearing, mis mo. ui
satisfy Dutton. He asked for J20 dam-
"How do you mako that out?" asked
the Magistrate.
"I had to get a new shirt for three dol
lars and a half," said Dutton, "and-I
had to get a pair of pants for two dollars,
and four visits to tho doctor cost two dol
lars more." ..,.,
"That'a only seven fifty," the Judgo de
clared, ...
"I deserve twelve fifty for Injuries to
my feelings," said Dutton.

tual value, and by a casual word or two
he let those about him understand that
he got them ashore on tho "Q. T."
"I dunno tho walley o' these things,"
ho said as ho wiped his chin. "Ycr sco
I hunched 'cm from traders over at Arch
angel and Irkutsk, an' I got a few of
em on tho coasts that tho traders lugged

"LAND OFFICE" BUSINESS.
It was the chnnce of a lifetime to land
a real bargain, and there was a digging
In walletB and pockets and quick
"touches" by those around. Some of tho
older employes got on tho phono and told
wlfey nt homo about tho big cincn in
furs. They were told not to dare como
home without something nice. They
wero overwhelmed with Instructions as
to what to pick.
In about "three shakes of a lamb'a
tall" tho entire stock was disposed of.
and tho stubby finger of tho man of the
sea had great difficulty in hnndllng tho
yellow-backed notes. He took aboard a
financial cargo close on to $300, but there
was nothing In his demeanor to show
that ho was In tho least elated about It.
As tho seaman stuffed his harvest In
a shaggy canvas bag with stolid coun
tenance those who were chuckling over
tho opportunity felt somewhat guilty at
having taken advantage of the gullible
stranger In an unknown land.
The boss of the ofllco arrived Just as
Neptune waa shuffling out. Ho dropped
a suggestion that It might bo wise to
detain accidentally tho seaman while a
couple of the "boys" took somo of the
furs to a very nearby store for valua
tion. SMUGGLED FURS "FAKE."
So two of .the most athletic employes
engaged the visitor in the corridor while
the scouts steamed oft to get a line on
the cargo. They wore, greeted with a
hearty laugh when tliey showed their
bargains to tho head of a lur depart
ment. "That's fake' stuff," he said; "It's
worth very little. You've paid 20 times
too much for It."
Tho nows was flashed to tho ofllce by
phone, and in a moment tho Beafarlng
man was surrounded by the enemy. Ho
dug out the bag and forked out all the
cash, with a sigh.
Then he pulled up his anchor and wig
wagged for an elevator. The very "wise"
buyers looked crestfallen.
"That swindle could only havo been
pulled oft In ono other place," said tho
boss, "and that's in the Detective Bu
reau." So, beware, milady, of the seaman Just
ashore and his smuggled furs. There's
nothing to it.
PLANNING SEWER SYSTEM
Surveys Bureau Making Drafts for
Ashdalc Street Extension in
Oak Lane
The Bureau of Surveys is at work on
plans for additional sewer facilities for
that part of Oak Lane which comes
within tho Philadelphia County line.
Residents of that section havo been pro
testing against the present Inadequate
system, but Chief Webster, of the Bureau
of Surveys, has not had sufficient funds
to proVlde the additional sewers de
manded'. It is estimated that the cost of a com
plete 10-Inch sewer pipe system In the
Bcctlon would cost (300,000. Tho plans
now drafted propose tho extension of the
Ashdale street 10-Inch sower to Olney,
House sewage In Oak Lane will be car
ried to a pumping station to be erected
at 69th avenue and Old York road, and
from there will be directed through a 6600
foot pressure main In Haines street and
Ogontz avenue to the main sewer at
Chelten and Ogontz avenues.
The estimated cost of tho changes now
proposed Is 171,500 for the piping and
U8.6O0 for the construction of tho pump
ing station.
