8tory Told by Writer In The Public,
Whether the Real Thing or Not
May Possibly Illustrate a
Sad Truth.
About two months ego I happened
to sit down besido a pleasant-fa jed old
fellow In the smoking car of a train
pulling out of Philadelphia. I wanted
to smoke, and on discover!'. that I
bod no matches, I turned my seat
mate and asked if he cnd spare me
one.
"Certainly," said to, "that is one
thing I can get all 1 want for noth
ing." . -
Seeing that he was Inclined to talk,
I humored him by asking: "How's
thatr
"Why, you see," he replied, "I work
for the city, In the fire department,
and we can get all we want of any
thing like that Just torn In a requi
sition for them and along they come.
But there Is one thing we cant get
all we want of. though."
"What's thatr
"Brooms. We can't get a broom.
We can requisition as mush as we
like, but wo can't secure a single
broom."
"How's thatr
"Don't know, but we can't get one."
"How do you keep the place clean,
then? I always thouRht they were
very particular in the fire department
to have everything spick and spaa." 3
"That's It." said he. nndglng me In the
ribs, "that's It! How do we keep
It clean? Must be clean for Inspec
tion. Know what we do? I'll tell youl
We use blankets. Yes, we take blank
ets, tear 'em up Into strips and make
mops out of 'em and keep the place
as neat as yon please f Too see we
can get all the blankets we want, but
we can't get a broom. So we take
turns requisitioning blankets."
"But the blankets mast cost a lot
more than brooms would."
"Sure. Blankets must stand the ctty
at laast a dollar and a quarter each,
while the best brooms bought In large
quantities would not cost over twen-
ty-flve cent apiece. And one broom
would last longer than half a dozen
blankets. But we ean't help It. Must
keep the Are house clean for Inspec
tion or would all get fired. No mat
ter how often we requisition brooms
there Isn't one forthcoming, while we
can get all the blankets we want, ana
no questions asked."
"Seems funny. How Is it, do yon
supnoser
"Only reason I can Rive Is that the
new administration Is short of funds.
PosB'bly somebody In a former admin
istration got some graft for laying In
a larRe stock of blankets and got no
brooms. But It costs somebody some
thing in tho long run. Fierce, Isn't

Oolf on a Battlefield.
Golfers of the Mexico Country club
at Mexico City who were recently
barred from their games for two weeks '
because the Carranza and ZapaU
forces were using the links for a bat
tleground, had an unusual experience
when, on the day after the retreat of
the soldiers they resumed play.
Notwithstanding that the links had
been torn up by shells, oil went well
with the game until the drive-off from
the soventh tee had been followed up
to the green. It was then that the
man who had the best lie waved to
his companions excitedly to hurry on
up. They thought that he bad holed
out with his mtdlron, but found that
bis discomposure waa caused by the
fact that be could not use his putter.
Between his ball and the oup lay the
body of a revolutionist, who had been
killed In an cchange of shots the
day before.
Co-operatton In Russia.
Even today millions of the Russian
peasants are not only too poor to em
ploy any but the simplest Instruments
of agricnlture, but the atsatlness of
tbetr acres makes the machinery we
are accustomed to out of the question.
On the other hand, there are large
estates with the finest modern ma
chinery, while the peasant proprietor
Is gradually overcoming the difficulty
by co-operative buying.
Six million households were associ
ated with co-operative associations
In 1911. and 310 out of the 370 rem
stvos were last year engaged In the
sale of agricultural machinery.
Long years of experience in the
semicommunal dealings of the "mlr"
have trained the Russian peasants In
the qualities necessary for co-operative
enterprise.

One vaudeville actress offered to
