Later, Miss Cohen tasted the dregs of the same cup while the ten foolish virgins wrestled with the making of resolutions never, never to taste any horrid old candy for the rest of fheii lives, so help em. It all began when. In the midst of the forenoon. Miss Cohen suddenly gave a Bronx shriek and announced hysterically that she had dropped her diamond engagement ring in the peanut brittle or the chocolate fudge or the mnrshmallow creams which she had been stirring. Since she wasn't sure which, she began tasting the pieces of candy Into which the three brands had been molded. Surreptitiously at first, but later when Miss Cohen announced a reward boldly the ten others begun nibbling and quashing away at everything on the tables. Between sniffles and tears. Miss Cohen announced big marble-toppethat It was her engagement ring and, of course, that led to more sympathy and more search and more nibbling. Through it all she was the center of Interest even to have lost a diamond ring makes a girl popular In the Bronx. And then, just when It seemed that the whole candy supply was to be demolished, the porter came In to ask who had left a ring on the window sill in the washroom and Miss Cohen remembered that shefhad taken off her ring to wash her hands after working up that mean old peanut brittle.

Mr. Stobbe allows that it Is some bird. At first It was generally supposed that it had waudered away from Liberty park, with a panel of wire fence In Its craw. The only difficulty about this explanation was that the keeper found neither ostrich nor section of fence missing from his compound. In the meantime, the puzzle that his presence in the neighborhood provoked did not disturb the ostrich. Ue approached the back yard of the Stobbe residence under squatters right The yard was strewn with pears and apples from fruit trees. These he cleared up forthwith, along with such pieces of broken dishes, knives, marbles, patchwork, tins and other bright morsels that appealed to his sense of things edible. Now the bird has settled down to watching for the falling of the apples and pears, unmindful of the decreasing supply on the trees. S. It Lambourne, superintendent of the city parks, said last night that the bird undoubtedly belongs at the Wandemere resort. Insistence of many persons who telephoned to him that they bad served the city by finding one of its ostriches led Mr. Lambourne to Investigate when the bird had strayed. He notified the officials of the resort, but at last reports the ostrich was still holding down the outfield and Infield in the Stobbe apple orchard. . Jewish Refugees Reach America in Terrible Plight ATLANTIC PORT. With minds and bodies almost wrecked by starvation and other European war horrors, 89 Jewish wnr refugees from Palestine arrived here on a French liner. No brush or word picture could reproduce the story of their escape from ' Palestine, subsequent to attacks by rescue by representatives of Turks, the Joint distribution committee of American funds for Jewish war relief, their safe arrival at Berne, Switzerland and the hazardous trip across the Atlantic. With trembling bodies and eyes filled with tears of gratitude, they told their stories. They told of Jerusalem, a city once holding G5,000 Jews. But 25,000 are left the others have starved to death. They were four months going from Jerusalem to Berne. Many died from starvation and exposure while on the way. The few who made the trip successfully arrived starving, emaciated and half nude. Temporary relief awaited them at Berne, where ,clothing also was provided. En route, they were attacked by a band of young Turkish soldiers who stripped them of everything of value, especially clothing and food. To say that two million people are starving; that in the Lebanon alone more than 150,000 have perished of starvation and disease; that in Palestine d since the wars the population of Jerusalem has fallen by over to the horror-jade- d means snme little from the causes, very perhaps beginning, mind. But to have seen the naked children lying out In the cold and rain of streets of Beirut, crying out for a crust of bread, till even the garbage-strew- n the Turkish officials could not bear it any longer and appealed to the American ambassador to send help ; to have seen the thousands of deported Armenians, mostly women and children, literally rotting to death on the banks of the Euphrates, these were sights never to' be forgotten by those that heheld them. one-thir- tor Sharpe has been in the football limelight for 20 years. In his student days the former Cornell coach had the distinction of winning bis varsity letter In more branches of sports than any other man who ever attended Yale university. In baseball, football, crew, track and basketball Doctor Sharpe was without a peer as a collegiate athlete. The wonderful personality that won him thousands of friends, while an athlete, proved an Invaluable asset as a coach. No player was too insignificant to escape the eyes of Doctor. Sharpe while he had charge of the Cornell squad. Men who to some instructors possessed no real value de' veloped Into stars under the coaching of Doctor Sharpe. Because of this fact, hundreds who formerly relegated themselves to the cheering sections would don football togs and each day would see record squads working for the Cornell teams. When he took charge nt Cornell the Ithaca college was annually beaten by Pennsylvania on franklin field. In 1915, after working with the Cornell squad for several seasons, Sharpe 'saw his work blossom into chnmplon-shi- p possibilities, the first that had been developed at Ithacn in years.
