A mouse got loose in Broadway
Sunday afternoon when its keeper
wasn't watching and besides creat
ing a panic bargain counter size
nearly tied up traffic for a quar-
ter of an hour. The animal's es-
cape from where it belonged was
coincident with the turning loose
of the matinee "scared concert"
crowds- 5:30 o'clock or there-
abouts. That's what made trouble.
There was nothing particular
about the mouse's appearance ex-
cept its apparent great age and
evident determination; it was plain-
ly a pig-headed animal bent on
traveling in a straight line. It was
observed first at Broadway and
Thirty-seventh Street; to be exact
on the west of Broadway trying
to make fast time across Thirty-
seventh Street.
"Help help!" screamed a wo-
man. The crow cleared a circle and
behold there was the smallest and
grayest mouse ever seen out of
captivity head to . wind nose to
the pavement and heading north.
The animal seemed to grow angry
at the screams and laid back its
ears and continued on its course.
Somewhere back in the crowd a
man began to yell:
"Where's me mouse? Where's
me mouse?"
The animal got to Thirty-eighth
Street on a bare sidewalk crossed
that thoroughfare and was well up
to the Metropolitan Opera House
before the man in pursuit overtook
him. In the meantime scores had
got-into the roadway where cabs
pulled up and motormen shouted
for the crowd to let the cars go by.
"Me mouse; me mouse!" shrill-
ed the man who elbowed every-
body in sight out of his Way. "Oh
.he rascal! There he is! Only let
me lay me hands on you again an'
I'll teach you to run away!"
The mouse did his best to escape
from the tyrant but in vain. The
hand a yard in advance of its
owner spread out like a trap and
Mr. Mouse was gathered in and
deposited in an inside pocket.
"I got me mouse" panted the
captor.--
The crowd closed in to the side
walk; bells clanged; cabbies chir
ruped to their horses and traffic
was resumed. Some paused to
; watch a ragged man go down a
jside street muttering inside his
coat to the truant. New York

until I find my gloves."
Fifteen minutes passed.
"George." came from above
"wait another second. "I've lost
my pin."
Twenty jninutes slipped by.
George" she con timed don't
go. One moment A button just

Long silence. Then George calls
wearily:

A Gentleman.
Asked to define the word "gen
tleman" a wise old guy replied as
follows: ' 'A man who is clean both
outside and inside; who never looks
up to rich nor down to poor; who
can lose without squealing and win
without bragging; who is consider-
ate of women children and old
people; who is too brave to lie too
generous to cheat and who takes
his share of the world and lets
other-pople have theirs." Temple
