Police Court Chronicles
"Francois D'OUelcssy," breathed tne
prisoner.
Mngtstrnto Pennock looked aghast.
Amazed falls to express It As the name
enmo over tho desk there flashed through
his mind visions of a man In frock coat
nnd silken tie, Immaculate linen and Im
pudent mustache. What he saw was a
crumpled heap of humanity, wearing n.
checked shirt nnd obstinate beard of evi
dently long experience. A pair of overalls
crowded his legs, while a stingy cap with
a trace of past respectability jutted from
his head.
Tho Judge voiced tho suspicion that the
defendant was traveling Incognito, but
1'rnncols declared that ho had arrived Ih'
n train.
The .'prisoner wna charged '.with trcs-;
passing on the farm of Elmer Castle, near
Chestnut Hill.
Ono of Castte's farm hands was plow
tng'.ind was conscious of the fact that ho
was being followed as he guided the plow.
Turning suddenly, he peered Into tho fnc
of Francois. Tho latter carried n, can nnd
explained that ho was simply hunting
wormi to go fishing, Ho Bald ho was ex
tremely sorry If hla zeal had caused any
friction.
l)ut the farmhand didn't have time to
go Into details. Ho noticed casually that
mucn?of tho ground ho had turned up had
been ngaln tramped down by tho feet of
Francois. He tojd D'Ollelcssy, therefore
to "bent It" Francois didn't like his de
meanor and told him bo In rather plain
langunge. Tho man of honest toll then
summoned Mounted Policeman Wagner.
He gathered Francois In a bunch and took
him to tho police station.
"I followed tho plow," Bald tho prisoner,
"becauso It turned up worms along the
rotlto nnd saved me the trouble of dig
ging. I did not know that It was a
crime to bo Industrious." ""
Tho Judga reminded him that men wero
not running farms to supply worms for
visiting fishermen. Francois agreed that
this was probably no, and apologized to
the maglstrntc, tho policoman who arrest
ed him, nnd nlso to the farm hand. He
said that ho had never caused bo much
commotion before In Ilia life.
As he had Pover been a customer In
Germantown before, tho Maglstrato do
clded to glvo him tho benefit of tho fresh

Tnft, addressing Yalo nlumnl at tho
University Club last night, eald !
"No ono can speak with confldenco on
the crisis that nt this moment confronts
us. I think I am 'tight In saying that
we all hope that war or a breach of
diplomatic relations may bo averted. But
wo cannot afford to give up our sub
stantial right ns neutrals. Wo must In
sist on our rights.
"It may bring us Into war. We hopo
It will not.
"Hut wherever It leads, It has brought
us to a realization of our proximity to1
tho world war.
"Wo have no right to count on our Im
munity from war and from unjust military
aggression, and wo owo It to our ances
tors, who gave us our nation and our na
tional principles, to tako steps at once for
proper military preparedness."
Iteferrlng to Mexico as "our Interna
tional nuisance," Mr. Tnft Bald that whllo
It had been a thorn In tho sldo of this
country, Mexico has done this country
ono good turn In "teaching us a lesson on
our unprop.trcdness."
"What wo need Is to bo reasonably pro
pared. Wo should bo prepared to resist
tho military aggression of nny nation that
Is prepared to land 300,000 or 400,000 men
on our coasts, nnd thcro are such nations.
"Our navy should he as big as tho navy
of such nation, which would bo required
to convey such nn army. Germany could
land such an army hero In a month or six
weeks. Our army Is nbout 35 per cent
below Germany's naval strength.

ASK THE MAN WHO 'OWNS ONE
The Difference Between a Cheap Truck
and Cheap Hauling is a Packard
Hauling is overhead, the same as rent, light, heat and insurance a
regular item in your cost of doing business.
Only the total at the end of a period can tell you how much your
hauling has cost you or how much it has saved you.
Today's bargain may become, tomorrow's repair bill.
A man who never has had a motor truck may not be able to judge
what truck will earn the most money over a long period.
He may not know which truck, from headlight to tail-board,vhas the
most features making for economy whichwill be the most efficient;
which will need the least attention; whicli willngedlthe fewest re
pairs: which will be the easiest toca?B'for; jvhfcli Ms back of it the
fairest service policy and the grearesyrespoffsibilityf
may be guided by the retreat or
buvers who do know all these Mints ai
all the time.
Field tf& Company of Chicago, bought its first Packard
1908. That truckNo. 802, is still young. The Field fleet
now numbers 47 Packards.j
The Adams Express Company bought its first Packard in October,
1905. The Adams fleet now numbers 50 Packards.
The American Express Company bought its first Packard in Decem
ber, 1910. The American fleet now numbers 164 Packards..
The latest order from the United States Government is for 2 8 Packards
to supplement the 27 already with Funston in Mexico.
There are seven sizes in the Packard, truck line ranging from 1 to
63 tons all of the same advanced, economical design.
