TEARS NOW FLOW WHERE TEARS
NEVER FLOWED BEFORE AT THIS LOSS
Old Simeon Mokemacher Sheds 'Em as He Is Told the
Biggest Onion Beds in the World Are Burning.
Fears for His Own Pets
Knime. sniffle, sniffle
The biggest onion beds In the world are
burning and tears are dropping. Kven old
Simeon P. Mokemacher, the onlon-sk'n
weather prophet, who hasn't been known to
shed a tear for sixty-seven years, broke
down and wept at the thought of it.
But It goes without saying that the larg
est number of tears the greatest quantity
In gallons Is being shed at or near the
burning onion beds at McGuffy, O., near
Columbus. The masculine members of the
community, working like Trojans to put out
the fire, weep. The women weep, nvery
body weeps at the tragic end of the onions.
"There ain't nothln' as sad as an onion
beln' cremated," said Mokemacher, furtively
wiping away a glistening drop from his
cheek when the news was brought to him
on his South Philadelphia ' onion ranch.
"Two aquaro miles of onions, did you say?
Well, that make It all the sadder. It must
be awful, boy." f
He surveyed his own patch of famous
fur-coated onions, by means of which he
predicts weather.
"I was Just thinkln' what would happen
If somebody'd set flroto'mlne." he mused.
"There's no tellln' what these false weather
prophets would do In their envy of me an'
my trained onions. It would be a terrible
thing for South Philadelphia If they'd go
up In smoke." .

tlon from Coventor's Island oer the tele
phone, will be submitted In writing to the
Department of the i:ast.
Under the arrangements effected, both
regiments will return to their armories In
their home cities on Sunday, and the un
completed work of mustering out the troop
will be done there. This will probably Kj
effected on Monday or Tuesday, the men
being paid oft In full with all clothing al
lowances, etc. Colonel lllll said It would
be a much easier proposition to srralghtj'i
out the property accounts of the olllrcrs
and men If they were returned to their
home station.
llrlgadler General Kdwln W. Illne and
staff and the clerical force will not be
mustered out until next Saturday night

J But the man who takes a little vhile off and
goes through our new selections will wonder
what on earth the howl has been about lack of
variety in patterns and fabrics in Men's Suits
and Overcoats for this Fall that is, he will
wonder what ailed the stores that didn't get
theirs!
J For the brush and palette of Autumn in the
woodlands are no less bountiful and prodigal of
warmth and color than are the woolens in our
new Suits and new Overcoats.
C And in even step with the richness of numbers
and of varieties are the new touches of style, the
new deftness of cut, the new slants, curves and.
angles in collars, lapels, pockets, pleats and
tucks which distinguish Perry tailoring from
the wholesale productions that are sufficiently
indefinite to be acceptable at whatever point of
the compass they are shipped to be sold.
