lived In Paris and workcJ simultaneously
there and In N'ew York, Frequently he
sent orders by cable while cruising on
his yacht in various parts of the world.
From almost every other angle his

unique. Upon the dcatli of bis father,

paper fortune accumulated by any
American publisher up to that time He

"splash" in the news should signalize his
return The outlook for gratifying this
desire was poor, the day's developments
being unusually flat. A small and un
important item on the city editor's sched
ule noted the escape of a Hon from one
of the cages In the Central Park Zoo
It caught Mr. Bennett's e)e
'Good," he exclaimed, "we,'ll have
them all escaping"
Whereupon a star reporter was as
signed to write a ' story' 'of the escape
of all the wild beasts of the clt) s
menagerie. The oung man, rising to
the emergency, portra)ed In vivid
descriptive a scene of terror In the
Central Park district and In upper Man
hattan, caused by a large number of
lions, tigers and other wild animals at
large, having broken the Insecure fast
enings of their flimsy cages. The article
appeared under flaming headlines, but a
note nt the end of It explained briefly
that the "escape" was purely Imaginary,
adding that such an unfortunate cir
cumstance was possible, owing to the
careless methods' of securing theonlmals
in the Zoo.
This note was overlooked by terror
stricken residents of the neighborhood
In which the lions, tigers nnd other
henstH of nrev were sunnosed to be
roaming around seeking whom they .'
might devour. Hundreds betook them
selves to their cellars and other places
of comparative safety, and a consider
able time elapsed before the nature of
the "wild animal hoax" became known
and tranquillity was restored.
Incidentally Bennett's coup was the
means of Increasing safeguards at the
Central Park Zoo to prevent such a mis
chance as the fictitious ono related In
the New York Herald.
Dor Stories and Runaways
Two stock stories were always carried
on the local pages of the Herald on the
morning of the day Bennett arrived In
New York. One, a Btory about a dog,
the other about a runaway. If no, runa
way occurred a Herald reporter ar
ranged one with the help of a friendly
policeman.
Bennett loved dogs to such an ex
tent that he arranged a set of cable
code names for the heads of various
departments and committees on his
newspaper and each had the word dog
for Ita stem. It is said that a King
Charles spaniel, that died ten years ago,
received more love from Bennett than
has any human being.

Positive Savings a Half and More
There's no mystery about the reason why we can save
our customers so much. It's very simple. Our inexpensive
store and warehouse location, together with our enormous
volume of business, saves $100,000 a year. This we give our
patrons in lowest prices.
This sale is just another evidence that Linde prices arc
away below those of all other stores. It embraces discon
tinued styles and odd lots in complete suites and single
pieces, as well as several shipments delayed until now by
freight embargoes. These goods today cost twice as much as
we paid for them. Comparison will prove our savings.
