Capitol Thieves Can’t Get My Flask, Says “Uncle Joe’ Some wicked newspaper man printed the story the other day that a miscreant had purloined Tnele Joe Cannon's flask. Aside from the question whether it was a “clubby” thing to do—if there be honor among flaskers—and be- yond the fact that Uncle Joe Can- non has been noted through all his long public ‘career for his ab- stemiousness, the article went the rounds and finally moved a St Louis man to break into verse in the Post Dispatch. He wrote what he termed a ‘“Cannonade” on the incident which runs this way Who was the fiend, pray let me Who filched our Uncle Joseph's fla The flash he carried on his hip, From which to_take a quiet nip 0f mellow stuff we used to know In happy days of long ago. How could one have such little tact Regardless of the Voistead ac How could one be so mean a To rob our dear old Uncie Joe To rob the widow or a bank In bad enough and savors rank; To rob a graveyard of its dead.

But_cursed be he who breaks the lock re of our private sioc And spare us, Of doing this to Uncle Joe. H. E. McFARLAND. The author wrote Mr. Canuon suggesting that “it is a question whether the author owes you an apology, or is deserving of the thanks of Congress for what he intends as a slight tribute of re- spect and affection for its most beloved and honored member. “It is his fervent hope that there was no material delay in getting the prescription refilled, and that the patient's enjoyment of the good things of life that cheer and console increase with the ing YOUNG WOMAN IS HELD ON BAD CHECK CHARGE Pretty Former War Worker Says | She “Had to Keep Up Appearances.” Miss Loretta McBride, a pretty, r war worker in the War De- chief of police of Cam- bridge, Mass., was arrested vesterday by Detectives Stringfellow and Keck on charges of passing alleged worth- less checks. “T had to keep up appearan losing my position,” Miss McB: said to have told the detectives, didn’t realize the seriousness of g| the checks until now. ing When 1 gave iss McBride had an account in the Farmers and Mechanics Bank when she lost her position in the War De- partment about eight months ago and her account, it is stated, has a bal- ance of less than one dollar. The detectives learned that Miss McBride had given checks at a num- her of stores for sums totaling sev- eral hundred dollars and the checks had been returned marked “insuffi- clent funds” It is said she gave a check for $197 at Hadleigh Hotel in payment for her apartment, and sev- eral days ago she was served with a writ of possession and required to va- cate. Since leaving the Hadleigh, Miss McBride stated, she has been staying at the home of friends. One charge of false pretenses was recorded on the police blotter against the young lady, but, it is stated. other charges will be investigated when the case reaches Police Court. Bond for her appear- ance has been fixed at $1,000. OFFICERS REVIEW PARADE Walter Reed Celebration Proves Big Event for Patients. Patients and atdaches of Walter Réed Hospital celebrated the Fourth with a parade, band concert, big din- ners and dance. The parade, which formed on the main drive at 14th street, started promtply at 9:15 am.. and marched east by the Administration building, where it was reviewed by Surgeon General M. W. Ireland and Col. J. D. Glennan, commander of the hospital. The marchers included Army officers, Army Nurse Cor; student nurse: aides, i the Red Cross, Y. M. C. A., Knights of Co- lumbus, d=tachment from Medical and Quartermaster Corps, floats and features of historical significance and miscellaneous features. The exercises came to a close with moving pictures in the Red Cross hut, and a dance in the Knights of Co- Jumbus Hall last night. The ath- letlc events. which were to have been after the parade, were postponed on account of rain. —_— A snake expels about two-thirds of its poison from its glands at the first bite. Mr. Cannon replied to the letter as follow “Horace E.
