GUND TRIAL Ct RD WARNER OM BRIBERY CHARGE Ferd Warner, former member of the House of "Delegates, went to trial a Second time on a charge of bribery Tuesday in Judge Shield’s division of the Criminal Court. At a previous trial he was convicted and his punishment was fixed at two years, but the verdict was set aside by the Supreme Court because the word “the” was left out of that portion of the indictment which said that the ac- tion of the defendant was against the peace and dignity of .“‘the’’ State. The accusation is that he accepted a $500 bribe from Henry J. Ascher to in- fluence legislative action on a _ Dill through which Ascher sought the priv- llege of erecting an automobile garage at 5011 Delmar boulevard. Danny Naughton Present. Warner at binn’t tame, « Oct. 18, 1907, was Delegate from the Second Ward. Fred W. Prieemeyer, Delegate from the First Ward, was also indicted on a bribery charge, but was acquitted. \ Danny Naughton, assistant clerk of the House of Delegates, fled and was brought from New Orleans to testify. As a result of conflicting statements which he made under oath, Naughton efterwardis was convicted of bribery und his appeal is now in the Supreme Court. Naughton answered to his name when the roll of witnesses was cailed Tuesday, but the Sheriff reported that he has been unable to find Thonias J. Leonard, who was clerk of the House at the time of the alleged bribery. Leonard is un- Ger indictment in connection with a

moment entertain the idea of employ- ing an engineer under the age of 21 and a street car company would not hire a motorman or a conductor under that age., A law should be enacted by the State and an ordinance passed by the city prohibiting, under severe pen- alty, the employment of a chauffeur under 21 years of age. “A young fellow is naturally impet- uous. He does not want anyone to pass him on the street. _His desire to at- tract notice overcomes his discretion and the result is death to the man on the street. Age brings coolness and greater discretion. Too many safe- guards cannot be thrown around the qualifications of the chauffeur.” Mr. Ballard was on his way home. He left an Olive car at Spring avenue shortly before 6 o’clock and walked north on the west side of the street. At Washington boulevard he paused to let two automobiles pass, going east. Both were traveling at high speed. A third car was approaching from the same direction, but either he did not see it or thought he could cross in front of it. He was a little more than half way across the street when the car was upon him.. He tried to turn back, and according to the statement of the chauf- feur, slipped and fell, Chauffeur Cries at Death. The chauffeur veered the car, but the wheels passed over Mr. Ballard’s left leg. It is believed from the extent of his injuries and the fact that he died within 2% minutes that he was struck by the car and knocked down before the wheels passed over him, Robert McKittrick Jones and Alexan- der Douglas were standing at the corner talking, but neither of them was look- ing at. Mr. Ballard when he was struck. Gebhart stopped the car quickly and he and Ira Smith, a negro who was in the car, ran back to where Mr. Ballard was lying on the ground. Mr. Jones and Mr. Douglas reached him at tne same time. Mr. Ballard was conscious. He said his leg was broken. Mr. Douglas sug- gested that he be taken to a hospital. Mr. Ballard said he did not want to be taken to a hospital, and asked that he be taken to 3836 Delmar boulevard. They lifted him into the car and Gebhart took him ‘home. Dr. N. W. Amos, who happened to be near, accompanied Mr. Ballard to his home. It did not appear then that he was seriously injured. Dr. H. N. Chap- man, a neighbor of Mr. Ballard, was called. When he arrived Mr. Ballard was unconscious. Attempts to strength- en the heart action by hypodermic in- jections were in vain, and in 15 minutes Mr. Ballard was dead. Hauled in Auto te Home. Mrs. Ballard, who stood at the bedside of her husband, was dazed by. the tragedy, but boré herself with remark- able fortitude. Gebhard was still in the room when it was armnounced that Mr. Ballard was dead. He sank into a chair and cried like a child. Gebhart was not detained then, but was arrested later at the garage of the Cc. F. & J. R. Brown Automobile Co., 5148 Delmar boulevard, and was taken to the Manchester Avenue Sta- tion. He was later released on a com- mon-law bond, signed by his employers. George Gebhart lives at ‘60A Aubert avenue. He said Tuesday: “When I approached Spring avenue going east two other cars were in front of me. I saw a man standing on the southeast corner. After the other two cars passed he started to cross the street. I swerved the machine to the north side of the street and would not have run over him if he had not slipped and fell with his feet toward the ma- chine. One of the wheels passed over one of his legs. I had sounded the horn when I saw him leave the sidewalk. “TI was going betwene 12 and 15 miles an hour, I stopped the machine within w or & feet and went back to him SS ETE aan ec,

Refuses to Permit Two Daugh- ters Who Offended Him to Come to Bedside.

By Associated Press. : acer HS _BRUSSELS, Dec. 14.—King Leopold 9 ae “was operated upon successfully today. ‘The surgeons found no trace of a tu- __ "mor, the presence of which in the in- ae _testines had been feared. His Majesty's ‘trouble was due to a nae obstruc- tion. ‘The King is resting ‘auhatle. ‘Leopold was under chloroform for 45 Minutes.’ When the effects had passed ‘he asked the surgeons for the details of _ the operation. They replied that an in- ‘cision had been made and an accumula- tion removed. Happily they had discov- ered neither a tumor nor an abscess. At the word an expression of fey lighted the features of the aged monarch, who _ feebly but with: eagerness questioned: _* “Then there is hope for my life?’ “Yes, "Your Majesty,’’ responded Dr. _. Thirar, ‘there is hope, but the greatest care must ‘be exercised.”’ - : At 3 o'clock this afternoon the physi- @iaris issued this bulletin: "The King’s condition is very good, »as the result of the operation,” | Cardinal Mercter, Archbishop of Mech- len, administered the last sacrament to the King yesterday. At the bedside Were his nephew, Prince Albert, the ‘ heir presumptive; Prince Albert’s wife and Princess Clementine, the youngest of the King’s three daughters. It ts said that the two other daugh- _ ters asked, but were rtefused permission to attend the King.in ‘his last. moments. They are Princess Louise, who ran way from her husband, Prince Phillip _ of Saxe-Coburg, and Princess Stephanie, , Widow of Crown Prince Rudo'ph of Austria, who infuriated her father by “taking a second husband beneath her rank, To them their father’s death will not be a sorrow unmitigated.

“Trial separation” is St. Louis’ con- tribution to the problem of matrimony as’ a sort of opposition to ‘‘trial mar- riage.” ‘Mre. Vera Widen Schatzman, 4647 Ber- lin avenue, tried the experiment of sepa- ration from her husband, E. Auribey hatzman, with whom she eloped six ie ago, and after a period of several weeks of singleness, has decided that the state is blessed and that she will make it permanent. Schatzman is not convinced by the experiment, and hopes to persuade his ife to return to him. “The separation is permanent and final,”’ says Mrs. Schatzman. ‘I shall never return to him. I am going to Burope next spring with my aunt. Mr. Sehatzman will not accompany me, nor will our daughter, who is 5 years old.’’ . Schatzman will decide on her re- turn whether the trial separation, now gtown fipal, will culminate in the di- vorce courts. _Has Everything She Wants, {It is pretty well known.” says she, “that I am the only child of parents of ‘ considerable wealth, and that I have been accustotned to have pretty nearly everything that I wanted, and can have almost everything I want—even a 4di- vorce. “But f cannot forget that Mr. Schatz- “te is the father of my baby, and ybe I shall not sue for a divorce at But I shall never live with him “again.” Mrs. Schatzman says she “does not at this time wish to-describe’’ how her husband received her proposition for a trial separation:, He did not at all ap- prove of the experiment, she intimates.

No Pledge to Sign Except Confession of Disapproval. “No boy’ is asked to pledge himself to refrain from any of the vices named in the membership card, but as he says he does not approve of these things, he is very apt to set himself to see that his fellows abstain: In practice it is found that a more effective observance ef the principles of the moral laws is then secured than could be had through a pledge to abstain.

Massachusetts Man Says When He Is Ready He Will Pro- duce Living Proof. Special tothe Post-Dispatch. WORCESTER, Mass., Dec. 14.—Wal- lace B. Tillinghast, alleged inventor and navigator of a three-passenger aeroplane which, as he has said, sailed over New York City onthe night of Sept. 8 and was stalled 4000 feet in the air when the motors were quiet for 46 minutes, said today he does not care what people think about his story, but it is abso- lutely true and when he gets ready he will produce the machinists who ac- companied him. He says three men are now at the plant where the machine was construct- ed and that there are also four men keeping guard over the machine day and night. He says he can repeat the trip any time he desires. Tilinghast asserts he has made 10 trips in four aeroplanes which he has constructed under his own patents, and says that 18 trips have been made in this jatest machine of the larger size, the spread of the plane being 72 feet. Neighbors of Tillinghast say they have been awakened many times during the summer between 1 and 2 o’clock in the morning by Tillinghast leaving his gar- age in an automobile of ancient type. When asked on his return why he was out with fhe auto so early, he would say he was working on a little machine which was ‘a side line and was obliged to make night trips to supervise the work.

CUPID'S DARTS POINTED AT CARRIE NATION BY FARMER AND BOATSWAIN GLANCE OFF Saloon Smasher, Fined $100, Says She Does Not Want. “Farm Job” or to “Support Loafer.” WASHINGTON, Dec. 14.—Love at first sight made Mrs, Carrie Nation its ob- ject when the saloon smasher was ar- raigned in the local police court on 4& charge of destroying private property, the result of a raid she made last Thursday on the bar at the Union Sta- tion. It was a lean Virginia farmer, John Slatter, who was hard hit by Car- rie. on ‘“T like her ‘git up an’ git’,” he cried enthusiastically, “and I'll marry her if she'll have me. She'd more’n earn her keep on the place.” Mrs. Nation declined the propesal in due form, adding: “T ain’t looking for any farm jobs.” A boatwain who was Carrie’s fellow

Mrs. Nation was fined $100, but she carried the case to the Court of Ap- peals of the [District of Columbia Meanwhile she has been released on a bond of $600, Don A.

a ee ee Bad Stomach My Stomach Is Going From Bad to Worse Yes, it’s true: thousands of people cannot eat the simplest meal without having it lie on the stomach like a lum of lead, causing misery, sour stomac and gas eructations. And later, when the stomach has gone from bad to worse, there will be longer eriods of food fermentation, and then izziness, biliousness, sick headaches and nervousness. If your stomach is out of order, i# it doesn’t feel right after meals, go today and get a 50-cent box of Mi-o- -na stom- ach tablets. In @ few minutes after the first dose the misery will disappear, and you will be thankful. But don’t stop there. Your stomach is wrong, and you yess to put it right; you want to cleanse, urify and strengthen it, ¥o that it ‘will be be able to digest a hearty meal without any med- icine whatever. So go right on taki Mi-o-na for a few days. It will buil up the stomach, unclog the liver, purify the bowels, and make you entirely sat- isfied with your stomach in a few days. Mi-o-na stomach tablets are made from the best prescription for stomach troubles ever written. They are sold by druggists everywhere, are guar- anteed to cure any case of indigestion, acute or chronic, of money back. Large box 50 cents. Test samples free from Booth’s Mi-o- -na, Buffalo, N. Y.

In an effort to make holiday shopping a pleasant pastime, Werner & Werner, with tasty decorations. have turned their store at Sixth and Locust streets into a place of entrancing beauty. Half a carload of magnolia branches and silver moss from Alabama was used to convey the modern Yuletide spirit. The massive columns throughout the Werner & Werner store are draped with long strings of the moss hanging from willow branches upon which it grows in the Southern clime. About the tops of the pillars and interwoven with the moss are the leaves and branches of mag- nolia, with an occasional magnolia blos- som. From a leafy ceiling to the bottom the window decorations are appropri- ately arranged to harmonize with the goods displayed. Entwined about the fixtures are the same touches of dainty natural twigs that are elaborately dis- played on the inside of the storerooms. The whole decorative scheme trans- ported from the natural forests of the South particularly harmonizes with the glistening mantle of snow which now greets holiday shoppers in St. Louis. It is a rest for tired purchasers of pres- ents to make others happy on Christ- mas. To those worn-out shoppers the management extends an invitation to stop and rest while admiring the beauty of the place in the midst of the busy outside. The mirrored shirt and waistcoat rooms are covered with the green and gray products of the Alabama forests. Entwined about the mirrors are wreaths of the moss, while great bunches of the magnolia are clustered about the cor- ners. The doorways to these sales- rooms are surrounded by the same green decorations, artistically arranged. In the various departments saplings from Northern woods with thelr ever- green branches vie with the products of the South for beauty in green. Clus- ters and vines of smilax are entwined throughout the entire color scheme until the store becomes a study in the nat- ural beauty of the forest. The rest rooms and seats about the store are not forgetten in the display, and are sur- rounded by the pretty magnolias, dain- tily arranged by expert decorators. An idea of the beauty of the inside of the store can be gathered from a glance at the windows. Beginning at the dis- plays ‘in the windows on the Locust street side extending to the norther- most display on Sixth street the green clusters from the Northern and South- ern climes catch the eye.

LT Delightful Comedy at the Olympic and Somewhat Overstrained Emotional Drama at the Garrick. a long time, the house would have reveled in Billie Burke notwithstanding. “Isn't she a darling?’ I heard one young woman behind me exclaim ec- statically. “I think she’s just the sweetest ever!’’ And that’s the answer—the women rave over her just as fervently as the men. You can’t go behind the returns when this is the case. It’s what made a certain Miss Lotta Crabtree the most irresistible footlight magnet on the American stage In the days of my play- going youth, The two French authors of Miss Burke’s new play’seem to have discov- ered this secret and built around their star precisely the sort of comedy in which she would shine her brightest— they’re so clever, these Frenchmen, when it comes to knowing a woman. They’ve created Jacqueline almost in the twin temperamental pattern of Billie Burke, placing her in the center of a story so piquant that it makes laughter cuddle all ’round one’s heart until the very last curtain, which falls on the happiest Jacqueline you ever saw in your life. It isn’t necessary to go deeply into the story in talking about the play. Jac- queline is youth, mischief, naive in- genuousness and melting love incarnate. Terrifically smitten with the charms of @ young cousin Count of hers, she frankly tells him so and precipitates him heels over head in love with her. Then, married to him, and discovering the ashes of an old love that had flamed fitfully in his bosom, she “revenges’’ herself by the most riuiculous flight to the most ridiculous of “lovers’’—and how she is extricated from the innocent muddie thereafter gives to ‘Love Watches” many of its most delightful comedy moments. Billie Burke plays Jacqueline ravish- ingly. It doesn’t make any difference whether she can play any other type or not—that’s none of your business. She is Jacqueline in the flesh, and you idolize her, just as does everyone in her story, and you follow her absurd little fortunes with bated breath, the only time the breath isn’t “bated’’ being when you chuckle zestfully to yourself or laugh outright with the rest of the house. You know, in spite of all her childlike folly, that naught of harm shall come to her—harm just couldn’t come to such an adorable creature, ar- mored in innocence and in a rapt wor- ship of her handsome young husband. ‘T Jove him with all the different kinds of love there are in the world,” she says piteously at one stage of her story. “And, because of that, I suffer with all the different kinds of suffer- ing that come from all. the love in the world—because each kind of love has its own different kind of suffering!’’ Poor little Jacqueline—no wonder you adore her! But, bless your heart, Jacqueline’s all right at the finish, happily cuddling in the arms of the young husband who loves her to distraction. I didn’t care much for the manner in which Julian L’Estrange played the part of this husband—rather wooden in contact with such a love as that of Jacqueline for him—but it went fairly well, thanks to our being absorbed in Billie Burke’s charm most of the time. Besides, the art of Ernest Lawford1in his portrayal of the ludicrous book- worm, Augarde, to whom Jacqueline fled for spite’s sake, was exquisite, giving us a character-creation that is simply a joy to remember, and admira- ble work was done by others in the lit- tle company, notably Kate Meek as the fine old Marquise de Juvigny, Maude Odell as Lucie de Morfontaine, Stanley Dark as Mons. Carteret, an—though not quite in so satisfying a degree—Frank Andrews as the Abbe Merlin. All! in all, it was a very competent performance, indeed, a worthy comedy, worthily played. And Jacqueline—well, I only hope that “Mrs. Dot,” which Billie Burke is soon to essay in‘ New York, gives her any- thing like as good a chance! RIPLEY D. SAUNDERS. ~oee MME. NAZIMOVA AT THE GARRICK S a personal triumph in human A emotions last night’s performance of “The Passion Flower” at the Garrick by Mme. Alla Nazimova was distinct. In the many plays in which she has been seen in St. Louis, none has given her such wide range to dis- play the various emotions as does this Brandon Tynan play of American social! life run wild with wasteful extrava- gance and excessive indulgence. From the moment of her first appear- ance, a happy, care-free, thoughtless young woman—a human passion flower, just opened into full bloom—until the end of the second act, when the beau- tiful flower is crushed and trampled upon by its own folly, Mme, Nazimova presented a stage character that is sel- dom equaled in range of expression and artistic conception. The play is so poorly constructed as to at times require all the strength of the excellent company to keep interest alive, but the many big moments of the play are more forcefully presented for this reason, and some of the Cli-

politi A s . aa : Fon gs ee ‘3 7 Nazimova in" The Passion F Siaaer sideration by those responsible for the success of the show, but still the Na- zimeva figure moves through it all and is always the central figure even when trying to share honors with others. The weakest part of “The Passion Flower” is in the character of John Rodman, which Brandon Tynan, the playwright, has given to himself. It seems to me to be one of the least con- vincing characters of the stage—a char- acter weaker in its boasted firmness than even the budding passion flower. The weakness of the society-mad flower was intensified in every conflict with him and his unwillingness to understand and believe what everyone else knew is stor there is evidence of careful con- | | fees as Ve cause of many of the overlong discus- sions which sometimes failed to carry interest to the audience. The most notable of the uninteresting moral discussions is at the close of the crama: After the play is finished so far as the interest of the audience is con- cerned there is a heart-to-heart talk between husband and wife that might as well have been left off, leaving the audience to judge for themselves the moral and the lesson of the play. It is essentially a play of thrill] and emotion end its sermons rather tire than con- vince. Its Americanism lacks the true ting and its picturing of society is not pieasing to contemplate. So on its abil- ity to thrill and stir the emotions it must depend: for success. The character second in interest and forceful acting is that of Henry Kolker, as Blackmar, the attorney. His work is especially effec- tive- in the scene with the ‘‘passion flower” in the opening act. Others wortny of notice were Ernest Clenden-

Secretary Wants ‘the Courts to Pass Upon the Question, He Says. The order recently issued by officials| = of the Bureau of Naturalization in Washington instructing clerks of Fed- eral courts to refuse to permit Turks to make declaration of intention to be- ceme citizens of the United States has been withdrawn. James R. Gray, Clerk of the United States Circuit Court, Tuesday received instructions from Charles Nagel, Secretary of Commerce and Labor, to disregard rulings of the Department on this subject. Mr. Nagel said the matter was one for considera- tion of the courts and not for the Nat- uralization Bureau. The Department ruled two months ago that no declaration should be taken from Asiatics that classification. The law provides that any white person may be natural- ized. It: is not believed at the office of the Bureau of Naturalization in St.. Louis that the Department intends to relin- quish the objections to the naturaliza- tion of Turks, but that instead of hav- ing the court clerks refuse to accept the applications, the matter will be pre- sented to the District Attorney for an opinion.

MAN is not in love with every girl he admires. It is quite pos- sible for almost any young man to see that a girl has pretty eyes or beautiful hair and yet not be in love with her or wish. to marry her. Ap- parently, however, many girls are un- _ able to understand this. Take, for ex- ample, @ ietter I received this morn- oe. in which its girl writer tells: “IT am in love with a young man [| nave known for a long while, and I (think he is fond of me. Recently he met “anether girl, and since he was iatro- nsegee™ to her he has several times said - to mé how pretty he thinks her.

If it does make any difference you may be sure he does not: care’ for you and you are fortunate to be rid of him. Another Man. G. C. A. writes: “I call on a girl * quite frequently. Some. nights when I am there another man calls upon her. She always pays more at- tention to him than she does to me. Do you think she really cares for me?” She may like you, but I am afraid she prefers the other man. +t is usually pretty safe to be sure that a gir! likes the man to whom she pays the most at- tention. Not Yet Engaged. B. writes: “About a year ago I *met a young lady and have been calling upon her frequently ever since. I lové -her dearly, and I think she loves However, she accepts invitations from other men and goes out with them. We are not engaged, but is this right ?’’ Until you are engaged the young lady can with propriety accept the invita- tions of other men. You have’ no right to dictate her friendships to her until she has formelly promised to marry you. Chocolate Nut Sticks.

The ceremonies are interrupted by a counter- demoistration of the followers of Stephen K. Yancey, a rival candidate. Col. Todhunter rejoices at the prospect for a hot political fight, At a barbecue-dinner given by the Nineveh Daughters of the Confederacy Col. Todhunter vigorously campaigns for Col. ‘‘Bili”’ Stricklind, warns young Tom Strickland, Mg love with Edith Mayfield of the ril of be- coming entangled with Lottie May Doggett, and helps Sim Birdsong get a word with Miss Angelica Exall. Chancing to be present dur- ing a lively interview tween Editor Can- trill of the Ninevah Weekly Blade, the Strick- land organ, and old Squire Tucker, leading the opposition to Strickland, Col. Todhunter rec- ognizes the power of the press for good * or evil. He rejoices that e is not ‘ sub- jected to the temptations of newspaper men. Hearing that Tom Strickland, drinking, has provoked Stamford Tucker into a dangerous quarrel, Col. Todhunter finds Tom in a saloon and tries to avert a personal encounter be- tween the two. But they meet, have hot words, Tom Strickland knocks Stam Tucker down, and the latter threatens vengeance. Sim Birdsong, on a hint from Col. Todhunter, resolves to elope with Angelica Exall. Col.

While the light holds out to burn the vilest sinner may return—and I invite every dadblamed last one of you Yancey men to consider thoughtfully what I’ve just been a-sayin’ about my old friend, Bill Strickland, and’— A deafening storm of partisan rage burst all bounds at this moment. Col. Todhunter’s guide laid a swift hand upon his collar and dragged him breath- lessly to the rear of the stage. Ata full run he was directed out through the wings. A door opening into a back al- ley was‘broken through by the guide’s body, used as a catapult. The Colonel felt the fresh night air smite him in the face. “Now we've got to sprint for it!’’ gasped the guide. ‘You follow me, and put on all the speed you got in you. They won't do a thing but massacre us if we don’t make our get-away quicker’n a streak o’ lightning!” Five miutes later Col. Thurs. T. Tod- hunter gained the stage of the Strick- land mass meeting to which he had orig- inally been billeted. He was somewhat scant of breath, but otherwise ready for the service of the evening. ‘TI’'ve been tryin’ to convert the heath- en!” he whispered, chuckling, to old Gov. Leslie, chairman of the meeting. “Over yonder at that dadblamed Yancey ral- ly, suh. It was a close shave. But_I scwed some seeds, suh—I shorely sowed some seeds!’’: The next day the front page of every St. Louis newspaper blazed with the side-splitting story of Col. Todhunter’s unique political exploit. The joke was on the Fon, Stephen K. Yancey and his St. Louis following, and the whole town roared over the fun of the story. Col. Todhunter was the hero of the day. “I’m dacblamed glad tonight finds me back in Nineveh, suh,”’ he remarked to Col. “Bill” Strickland earnestly. ‘‘I’ve pawed up the earth. here in St. Louis worse’n a yearlin’ bull in spring time, suh.

Todhunter,” spoke Sim Bird- one craftily, “Mrs. Todhunter don’t need to know a thing about what’s goin’ on till it’s too fate for her to back out, suh!” Col, Todhunter glared at the speak- er. “You young scoundrel, you!” he said. “You and Miss Angelica have got this thing all cut and dried be- tween you. ‘Fess up, Sim Birdsong— “what’s the plot you-all have devised and contrived for the whole blamed percecdin’ suh?’” An apologetic grin relieved the ap- prehension which had until now rest- ed upon Sim Birdsong’s countenance. “Colonel,”” he repliea, “I’m a-goin’ to tell you. the whole truth. I've done seen the Rev. Mr. Lipscombe, suh. He knows just what the situa- tion is, suh. He's willin’ to marry us aS a runaway couple, knowin’ we’re both of age.

I ain’t got the heart to fail you now, Sim—and I'll handle Mrs. Todhunter the best way I know. how, too!” Profound gratitude was in Sim Birdsong’s face. “I Knew you'd do it, Colonel!” he exclaimed, heaving a deep Sigh of re- lief. “And you'll never know all it means to me, suh. [ got to get Miss Angelica Exall, suh. If -I don't, suh. this world is but a fleetin’ show, and 1 don’t care, for one, how soon the show closes, suh!” All of which accounts for the fact that Mrs, Todhunter and the Colone!] were the guests of the Lipscombe's at supper that same evening. This was not by any means the first time that such a thing had happened, and the minister and his wife were fre- quent guests of the Todhunters, The Colonel, therefore, met with no dif- ficulty in “tolling” Mrs. Todhunter into the trap set for her. Nevertheless, being a man of hon- est soul, Col. Todhunter looked guilty when, soon after supper, there came a knock at the front door and the Rev. Mr. Lipscombe was tummoned to his study. Fortunately, however, Mrs. Todhunter was entirely unsus- picious and the Colonel’s uneasy con- science revealed itself in his facia} expression nee exciting her at- tention. The minister was gone for ten min- utes or more. When he returned there Was a smile on his lips. “It's Sim Birdsong and Miss Angel- ica Exall,” he said. ‘“Théy want me to°’marry them.” To the preacher’s wife an announce- ment of this nature had ceased to be a novelty.

You've been so good to me and Sim, planning this whole caine out for us and being the first to advise Sim to run away with me!” Col. Todhunter’s blood went cold in his veins. He felt Mrs. Todhunter’s accusing eyes upon h “Why. Miss Angelica—er—I mean Mrs. Birdsong!” he gasped, “I—I reckon I done gone about far enough —JI—er—well, I’m afeared—I’m afeared your ma may not like it the least bit if I go to her so sudden- like with the news, Miss Angelica!” At this the bride wept afresh. “Oh, Col. Todhunter!” she wailed. “You surely ought to do it for me! I never would have run away with Sim if it hadn't been for you. I think you might, Col. Todhunter— ma’ll be so lonesome if you don’t!’ Into Mrs. Todhunter’s eyes came the light_of justice, “Angelica is justified in asking you to do this for her, Col. Todhunter,” she spoke firmly. “You can’t refuse tc do as she asks, and you mustn’t think of such a thing!’ The Colonel stood aghast. “Mary!” he protested. “I-—I—well, IT just can’t, that’s all there is to it! I'll just be dadfrazzled if I can!’ But he was: doomed. The bride clung to him beseechingly. . Mrs, lodhunter’s voice was against him. The Rev.

They do such thi And they say such Yl never eo th here h things On the Bowery— ne —Old Song. _ By Leased Wire From the New York Bureau of the Post-Dispatch. NEW YORK, Dec. 14.—Once more the Bowery awakes this morning to new fame and all the denizens who vote the way the Sullivans tell them to are won- Gering if President Taft's visit last night will bring him a nickname as was the case with Chauncey M. Depew when he made a similar visit many years ago. Depew’s visit to the Bowery (where they sell the box and not the sox) brought forth an interview with Chuck Connors in which he branded the new Senator “A Peach,” Taft Called a “Pippin.” “He’s a pippin,’’ was the expression today of the Bowery denizens who heard the President last night. He had come down in a driving storm through the famous lower Hast Side to the Bowery Mission. In his immaculate evening clothes he made a strange contrast to those men of the Other Half. President Taft was so much pleased with his visit that unlike the old Bowery song, which runs “I'll never go there any more,”’ he expressed the hope that he again would have an opportu- nity to address the residents of the East Side. The President was introduced by Dr. Louts Klopsch, who established the mis- sion. Dr. Hallimond first spoke to the men. Nature Made Him Figurehead. “My friends,’’ said the President, “Ij am almost as much surprised at being here as you are to see me. I was in- vited to come by your good friend, Dr. Klopsch, whom I know, as you know him, by the things he has done. It has nearly always been my part to play the figurehead. Nature developed me in such a way as to make me a yery good figurehead, so I was put «t the head of the American Red Cross, and it was there I came to know more of the works of Dr. Klopsch. “T was glad to accept the invitation to come to the Bowery. Not having liven in New York, I had always been curious to see it. I know that where the Bowery and Dr. Klopsch met, there would be the best part ef it, so I came here. “As I look in your faces I see you to be earnest ‘American citizens. Some of you are down on your luck, perhaps, but you are responding in. every fiber to the same sentiments of loyalty and decency, leve of country and the same aspirations for better ideals that I hope every ‘man in’ this country has. “T am giad to be here, if being here and by saying so I can convince you that. the so-called chasm between you and these who for the time being seem a chasm, after all, and that there is between them and you a deep feeling of sympathy on their part and an earn- est desire that you shall have that equality of opportunity of getting on your feet, of earning a decent Iiveli- hood anda supporting your families which we hope every man who lives under the Stars and Stripes enjoys. Hopes for Their Prosperity. “T am glad to testify to my interest in the work of this mission, which I hope always will- help you and others over the hard places—the times when the Lord and everybody else seems to be against you—to help you at such times to believe that there are people in the world. who sympathize with you and hope you will achieve all that an equal- ity of opportunity will give you and help you to better things. “T know it is difficult for you to be- lieve that I, who am receiving a large salary from the Government and living in comfort, can understand or take to my heart the feelings that you have of desperation, and that you have not had the chance that other men have. But, in spite of the seeming difference, your fellow-citizens are not all greedy and grasping. ‘Their hearts are’ more open today and they are more ready to help the needy out of their difficulties than at any time in the past, and that feeling is growing every day. So let me say to you, struggle on in the hope that the future will be brighter for you.” Inspects the Bread Line. The President inspected the famous bréad line, where for hours every night men wait to Be fed. The President had been up to Carnegie Hall before his Bewery visit... He came near being pustied from the boy platform in Carnegie Hail by an enthisiastic crowd of men and women, all trying to get close to the nation’s chief executive in order to shake his hand.

The magnates wanted to see him worse than a hungry man wants to see pay day, and they grabbed him away. President Ebbetts of Brooklyn, look- ing more like a Roman senator than ever Dave Nelson did, got him first and hauled him off to a corner and gave him a long argument, which would have been longer had not Mr. Dreyfuss hap- pened along—casually, of course—and stopped to greet Mr. Robison with an amazing show of warmth. The three talked a while, then by a little maneu- vering Mr. Robison next showed up un- der the wing of Garry Herrmann, while Mr. Ebbetts and Mr. Dreyfuss remained paired, d:scussing the weather, which was as villanous as it well knew how to be. Then after a little while Mr. Drey- fuss bade Mr. Ebbetts a polite adieu, slipped around to the elevator, picked up Mr. Robison again and carried him off in triumph upstairs and Mr. Robi-

First Lesson of Baseball Politics Quinn might be offered for Criger, but, despite the great showing Quinn made, really a great pitcher, so Stallings will have to come again. McGraw wants Konetchy—has wanted ‘him a long time, but what he is pre« pared to offer no one seems to know. The offer must have been a liberal one, for after a talk with McGraw this morning Bresnahan was mighty anx- fous to have a talk with Mr. Robison, but the deal has evidently not gone through yet. ‘WITHINGTON TO CAPT AIN HARVARD ELEVEN OF 1910 - BOSTON, Dec. 14—Lothrop Withing- ton of Honolulu was tonight elected

C. Saturday night. Kreidier was for- merly able to make 158 pounds, but now ‘weighs not far from 170. His .opponent Saturday night will be Jim Mvrokra. Mvrokra is the only local boxer who has been atle to make Hen Kraus 2, the M. A, C, middleweight, step lively so far this season. The big East Sidé man had Krause beaten until the third round, when he slowed down because of lack of condi- tion. Mvrokra’s strong hold is to as- similate punishment and to keep wad- ing right into his opponent with both hands flying all the time. Kreidler is ciever and a hard puncher, but if Mvo- kra happens to land one of his “hay- makers” the bout should be even. from that time on. Boxing Instructer Bddie Randall of the M. A. C. will also put on five other bouts, in which Charley Dalwitz, Ben McGovern and other M. A. C. boys will figure. Harry Sharpe will act as ref- eree. . — Basket Ball Notes | The interscholastic basket ball teams have been making. strenuous preparations for the opening of the season this week, and, judging from the present outlook, @ very successful season should follow.

The Western M. A. team ig the five that will give most of the local schools worry, as Coach: Bolnes’ boys are experienced. They opened their season last Saturday, and defeat- ed the strong Third Baptists by a score of 48 to 27, which is much better than McKinley was able to do only a few days previous. Coach Voss of McKinley gives every indi- cation that he will have success with the South Siders. His system of coaching is a very good one, and though he has not announced the line up of the team ag yet, he knows the ability of each player. Von Dach, who has been hurt during the football season, is still showing the effects, but the South Siders are counting on him for Saturday’s game with Western. The McKinley team will play the Mohawks Tuesday night at the Louisiana Hall, and Coach Voss will try out all of his talent. The Yeatman High and Soldan High teams have advanced their game from Friday to to morrow afternoon, and it will be played at the Louisiana Hall. Coach Glasgow, at the new school, has been making good progress with his team, and it is likely that the Yeatman five will be tendered a surprise when the two meet. Coach Mahood of the Oentral High School will officiate. Central will no doubt.
