The "Pied Piper of Hamelin" was in Battle Creek yesterday, looking just as you have seen him in the story books with his green suit and stooking, and his red cap and cloak. An just as he charmed the children of the little town of Hamelin, when he played on his pipe, so that they followed him wherever he led them, So did the Piper charm the children of Battle Creek yesterday. Hundreds upon hundreds of the children streamed behind the Piper, the crowd of young folks streaming from all directions him, as if summoned by magic, following him than everywhere he went, all around the business section. And when they reached Toeller's store they were actually thousands of children following. And all of them who could get in followed the Piper into the store, and heard him play on his pipe and upon his magic boot.

And the noisy crowd became as still as mice when he played to them and then told them the old story of the real "Pied Piper of Hamelin," as Robert Browning told it in those quait old verses, to cheer His little sick nephew. He told how the Piper charmed away the rats from the town, and then, when the mayor and people wouldn't pay him as they promised, how he charmed the children to follow him, and then led them into the side of a mountain, where they disappeared and where never seen a again -all but one little lame boy who couldn't keep up, and who thus lived to tell the story. So yesterday, when the boys and girls of Battle Creek were all streaming after the Piper, a lot of the old folks who knew the story began to lest the pavement on Main should open and the tremble, BIRTHS Born to Mr. and Mrs. Harold Wagner, 170 Coldwater, a boy weighing seven pounds and 13 ounces, yesterday afternoon at Nichols hospital.

Two Modern Get-Rich-Quick Wallingfords Who Have Swindled Hundreds of Persons NEA: Piper lead them all into the earth, never to be seen again, But this Piper had not been cheated like the other one, and so he led them into Toeller's and after playing and telling them the story he gave them presents. There were 2,000 Piper's caps and 2,000 pipes, and 2,000 story books.

And all of them were given away; but still the children crowded around the Piper, and there were not enough to go around. So the Piper promised to send another big box of story books to Toeller's, and told the children that if they call next week at the sore all of them who didn't get a story book will be given one. But you ought to have seen and heard that crowd of boys and girls at Toeller's yesterday, with all their vocal "pipes" at work besides the red and white pipes the Piper had given them, and all dressed in those gorgeous caps of red and green and blue and yellow, and many other colors. It looked sometimes as though the plate glass in some of the arcade windows was doomed, as the boys and girls crowded to get those caps and pipes. And the walls almost bulged with the jam of children, while it seemed every minute as though the roof would crack with the volume of sound.

And besides telling them the story of the "Pied Piper of Hamelin," the Piper who came to Battle Creek yesterday told the children the story of Pied Piper shoes. So it is quite likely that many Battle Creek ents will find their boys and girls, when they buy them the next pair of shoes, begging to buy the Pied Piper ones. The Piper was quite a friendly old fellow. He told the reporter his name was A. G.

Schuelke, and his home is at Warsaw, where they make the Pied Piper shoes. He has boys and girls of his own, he said, and they all wear them.
