HAS RECOVERED HEALTH When in Hospital Widow Said She Was Wounded for Fail- ure to Keep Appointment. Thomas J. Butler of 2912A Franklin avenue, member of the House of Dele- ist iO f-mesee from the Nineteenth Ward, was freed by Judge Clark today in the Court of Criminal Correction of the charge of 4ooting Mrs: Anna Crane of 2945 Gam- é street, a policeman’s widow and ,utler’s former. friend, the early norning of Aug. 26 last. _ Butler's discharge, which was at h.‘% preliminary hearing, came after both ‘hé and Mrs. Crane had testified that the shooting was an accident. Mrs. Crane has recovered from her wound, which was in the chest. Mrs. Crane was shot while she * was in Butler’s company on the sidewalk - near his home. After the shooting But ler ran to his home and locked the doors and policemen had to enter through a transom to arrest him. He would make no definite statement as to the shooting, but told the police that Mrs. Crane had thrown stones at him, and he also said he had thrown his re- volver into a yard across the street. Mrs. Crane, at the city horpital, told in = reporters and the police that Butter, who had just returned from a meeting of the Democratic State Committee in Jef- ferson City, had shot her because she had failed to keep an appointment with him. . Her testimony today was widely dif- ferent from her statement after the shooting, at a time when she apparently believed she would die. She testified that on the night of Aug 25, before Butler's return from Jefferson City, she was visiting with four friends “Whose names she could not remember, as she bad met them only that evening. - “Going out after midnight,” she tes- tified, “I met Mr. Butler on the street, and I called to him and tugged at his coat. He had both hands in his pocket, and as he took them out a revolver fell out, I don’t-know from which pocket. _ “He and I both stooped over to pick at UDy and as we did so the revolver & suddenly discharged and the bullex “‘Phat’s about all I remember.” “the was asked if she hit Butler hb a-stone, she said she did not.

She said she had been ac- quainted with Butler five years. . ©. 5.

FOUR MEN EAT MEALS AND SAY, “CHARGE IT T0 MAYOR” ———_—___ ay Irishman and Three Germans Ar< rested and Complain Free Soup Is “Skillagaloo.” William Cunningham, Joseph Rosik, Paul Dietrich and Max Kirst ate $1.7 worth of foo@ at the Portland Hotel cafe today, helped themselves liberally to toothpicks and called for cigars. Ba- fore handing out cigars the girl at the cash counter asked them for their checks. ’ “Charge it to Mayor Kiel,” they said. The girl called Manager Holt. Cun- ningham used some bad language to him. Holt called in a Police Sergeant, who took them to headquarters. He asked them why they did not go to Holt and ask him for something to eat. Cunningham replied that they didn’t do business that way.. The Sergeant want- ed to know why they did not patronize the free soup kitchen. “Aw, that’s only a skillagaloo joint,” said Cunningham. “A whatagaloo? That's a new one on me. How do you spell it?’’ Cunningham spelled it and explained that it meant “bum soup” or ‘‘dish- water” soup. The other three men could speak little English. The Ser- geant expressed surprise that a man of Cunningham’s emerald extraction should be associated in such an enter- prise with three Germans. “Oh, the rish and the Dutch are sticking togeth- er these days,’”’ he said. ‘The four wére locked up to answer to a charge of disturbing the peace. HORSE STRANGERS LEFT WITH MAN NOW A “WHITE ELEPHANT” Owners Fail to Return and Mare Has . Big Capacity for Food; to Be Turned Loose. Leon Fiechan of 7600 Gravois avenue has nevér taken much stock. in reincar- nation theories, but he can truthfully testify that a gray mare left at his home two weeks ago has turned into a white elephant, and he added he did not have to look the gift horse in the mouth to learn it had a great capacity for food. Fiechan told the police that three men called on him Dec. 8 and wanted to sell him the mare for “a song.’’ He had no vse for the animal, he told the men, and they asked him to keep it ‘‘over night,” saying they would return for it in the morning. “I wouldn’t mind keeping her longer,” he said, “but its costing me something to keep her fat. She eats six ears of corn three times a day, and I can’t af- ford it, in addition to oats and hay. If she were a cow I could get my ‘money’s worth in milk. “If I was sure the men who gave her to me were her real owners, I would sell her for what I’ve spent on her, but I don’t want to take a chance on selling what might turn out to be stolen prop- erty. If she was stolen the thieves: were mighty poor judges of horseflesh and I don’t blame her owner for not going after her. I've got to get rid of her some way, and if no one calls for her by tomorrow I'm going to turn her loose.”’ NOW THE MOTOR CYCLE SLED West Emd Boy Says He Can Go 40 Miles an Hour.

IS THE SECOND RULING Judge Has Paid Excess Fees of Office to City Treasurer Under Protest. By a decision of the State Supreme Court, handed down yesterday, Probate Judge Charles W. Hoitcamp will have to surrender $116,000 of excess fees which he had paid under protest to the Board of Education. The decision was in the case of Lydy vs. Greene County, in which the validity of the law of 195 providing salaries instead of fees for Probate Judges, was upheld. This is the second decision handed down by the Supreme Court upholding the validity of this law. Grant G. Lydy of Springfield, Judre of the Probate Court of Greene County, contested the validity of the law, and following the suits filed by him and the Probate Judge of St. Joseph, Judge Holtcamp paid the fees of the St: Louis court into the City Treasury under protest, there- by reserving his right to recover them in ‘the event of a decision favorable to Lydy. Sehool Board Gave Contract. The result of Judge Holtcamp’s ac- tion was that the Board of Education was compelled to enter into a contract with the City' Treasurer, Auditor and him for the recovery of the fees, be- fore the city officials. would transmit the money to the School Board. Had the decision of the Supreme Court been otherwise, Judge Holtcamp would have been in a position to retain fees in excess of $20,000 a year, which now go to the Board of Education. It was es- timated that the fees for the two terms he has served, and the term to which he was elected in November, would ag- gregate $200,000. The law of 196 provides that Probate Judges shall receive the same salaries as Circuit Judges throughout the State, plus 10 per cent of the fees. The St. Loulz Circuit Judges receive salaries of $0500 a year, but the salaries are smailer in the country districts. With the fee which he received under the law, Judge Tioltcamp has been getting about $8300 a vear as Probate Judge in St. . Louis. Lydy, contesting the validity of the law, pleaded its unconstitutionality on the ground that as the saiaries of Circuit Judges are unequal it was ciass legis- lation. Only Twe Justices Dissent. The decision was written by Chief Jus- tice Lamm, with Judges Brown, Walker, Woodson and Eond concurring, and Judges Graves and Farris dissenting. As all phases of the law have been passed upon by the Supreme Court, in this and the previous decision, it is not thought likely «hat any further effort will be made by Probate Judges to contest its validity. In his campaign for re-eiection Judge Holtcamp pledged himself not to contest the law, but this pledge was made after it had been discovered that he had made rlans by which he cculd reccver the ex- cees fees which have accumulated dur- ing his service, if tie Supreme Court nad knocked out the law.

Kiel to A conference on the movement suggested by the Business Men's League was held be- tween the Mayor and President Capen Saunders of the league this morning. Mayor Kiel suggested that each’ member of the Business Men’s League hire an extra employe to reduce the number of unemployed men in the city. fous the conference Saunders said that the league members undoubtedly would give encouragement to the move- ment. Capen and Saunders wishe’ {fo hear from Mayor Kiel what his ideas were as to carrying out the suggestion. tt is estimated that there are nearly and Secretary ties. If each firm would take on it least one additional man it would start an industrial revival in the city which undoubtedly would resuit in a great deal of good, in the opinion of Mayor Kiel. The Mayor told Capen and Saunders that he had formed no definite plan: which he would urge members of the Business Men's League to adopt, but| that he beHeved nearly every member could find employment for at least one man. Capen said he would place the matter before the Executive Committee of the league, and would report to the Mayor. Mayor Kiel, after a consultation with Chairman Rogers of the Efficiency Board, announced that he would au- thorize Fire Chief Henderson to fill 15 vacancies in the Fire Department with- out waiting for the dpplicants to take a civil service examination. The board will not be ready to hold the examination for two months. The 15 men will be selected by Director Swingley and Chief Henderson from a list of 250 applications already on file. The jobs will be temporary and the men appointed _ will take the examination when the board is ready. BEAUTY I$ COSTLIER STILL Preparation: for “My Lady” toe Be Taxed Under ‘*\: r Revenue Law.

CAN STARVE ENGLAND, T00 German Minister of Marine Asks “What Will; America Say if We Declare Submarine War on Merchant Ships?” NEW YORK, Dec. 22.—An interview by Grand Admiral von Tirpitz, German Minister of Marine, to Karl H. von Wie- gand, an American correspondent, is printed here today, in which Von Tir- pitz is quoted as asking: “What will America say if Germany declares sub- marine war on all enemy merchant ships?’’ This question followed his statement that America had not protested against England's closing of the North Sea to neutral shipping. ‘“‘England wants 10 starve us,’’ he declared. “We can play the same game. We can bottle her up and torpedo every English or allied ship which nears any harbor in Great Britain, thereby cutting off large food supplies.”’ The interview was given at the Kai- ser’s field capital in France, and the delayed dispatch was sent under date of Dec. 2% Von Tirpitz afterward re- turned to Berlin because of the Kaiser's illness, but he is today reported again to have accompanied the maleer to the western battle front. Von Tirpitz declared Britain’s domina- tion of the sea was originally founded on piracy, while her power on land was established by robbery in all parts of the world. | “Germany was developing too fast, growing too strong and too powerful and was getting in England's way, so her throat had to be cut—that’s it in a nut- shell,’’ he continued. “King Edward laid plans for it years ago. He had an inexplicable antipathy to Germany. He looked about and seized upon the grow- ing Pan-Slavism in the East and the Revanche idea in the West as his means. “England thereupon formed an alli- ance with the yellow race in the Orient, with Russian barbarians in the East and in the West with the French, who were unable to shake themselves lodse from the obsession of the ‘Revanche.’ “The impression has gone abroad,’’ the correspondent remarked, “that German militarism hoped to bring on the war.”’ ‘Yes, that England’s cry,’’ retorted the Admiral. “Our militarism they accuse, but what about her navalism and mea- rineism, which for years has made Claims to a monopoly of authority on the water? There is no militarism with Ls, unless you call universal service by that title; and that is merely the de- fensive development which has resulted from Germany having been the tram- pling ground of the European nations for hundreds of years. For 200 years France has declared war on Germany 34 times. I say universai service makes for peace, not for war.” ———— NEW ENUIPMENT PURCHASED FOR CHRISTMAS MAIL RUSH Postoffice Department Buys 175,000 Burlap Sacks on the Open Market.

From Austria, in a dozen different ways, reports are coming that the dual monarchy is at the limit of its endurance, that disasters, misery, internal weaknesses and external re- verses have combined to shake the whole structure of Francis Joseph's empire, and peace or ruin is, in the words of many Austrians, becoming the alternative. Such being the apparent fact, the arrival on the Austrian frontier of nearly a million Greek and Rouman- jan troops might easily prove the final blow to Austrian resistance and have a decisive effect upon the for tunes of the German armies now fighting in Poland and in France and —— Based on Self Interests. Such an attack upon Austria by Kumania and Greece would be based upon self interests patent to all ob- servers and expressed in the alliance between Servia, Greece and Rou- mania, which immediately followed the second Balkan war. The purpose of the alliance was to defend the territories each state had acquired by that war directly and at the expense of Bulgaria, but actually in the face of Austrian intrigue and opposition. Under the terms of that alliance it might have been expected Ru- mania and Greece would immediately come to the aid of Servia when the great war began. But to do this n the early months would have been to risk the appearance of both Bul- garia and Turkey on the other side. Bulgaria was eager to recover her Macedonian lands lost in the recent war, to take Monastir and retake Kavala and the lower reaches of the Struma River, Turkey still claiming the Aegean Islands. Accordingly, while from the outset Rumanian and Greek sympathy was with Servia and her great allies, both states preserved their neutral- ity, and by so doing kept Bulgaria neutral, for Germany and Austria woould hardly care to enlist Bul- garia when this enlistment insured the appearance of Rumanian and Greek armies on the other side. Germans Had Advantage. Thus it immediately became the mission of German ané allied diplom- acy to obtain the support of Bul- garia. If the allies could procure from Bulagria a promise of neutral- ity, Greece and Rumania were fairly certain to join their ranks. Germany, on the other hand, labored to pre- serve the Bulgarian menace to Greece and Rumania. this immediate advantage: had recently been despoilled of most of her Turkish conquests by her three neighbors, Servia, Rumania and Greece. Having borne the drunt of the Turkish war, she fottnd herself after the peace of Bucharest deprived of all but a tiny front upon the Egean. Servia had taken Macedo- nia, with some hundreds of thousands of Bulgar inhabitants, who had long fought in the hope of ultimate union with Bulgaria. Rumania seized the Dobrudja marshes frcm Silistria to the Black Sea, inhabited by sulgars and one of the richest of Bulgaria’s agricul- tural districts. Utterly exhausted by her two wars, Bulgaria bad yielded, but hever ac- cepted as final her terrible defeat. It was conceivable then, that Gernrny, by promising the Bulgars Macedonia and the Kavala Sea coast, by work- ing on her natural resentment over her wrongs, might enlist her as a re- eruit. On the other hand, it was equally plain that allied diplomacy had more to offer in real profit. Allie” Offer Most Glittering. ror, if French, Russian and En- glish diplomacy could persuade Ser- via to surrender the Macedonian district east of the Vardar in return for a guarantee that she should have Bosnia after the war, if they could persuade Rumania to return most of the Dobrudja to Bulgaria, if finally they would jointly guarantee to Bul- -To German diplomacy there was 4 Bulgaria , from Turkey in the first war and lost in the second, promise the pos- session of the Hnos-Midia frontier and Adrianople, Bulgaria would gain more than she could ever hope to ac- quire through German patronage. Noel Buxton, the most noted of British Bulgarophiles, was selected as the British representative in the following negotiations. How danger- _@us @ representative he was may be ‘gathered from the fact that both he and his brother were shot, but not killed, by a Turkish assassin while in Bulgaria. Details of the negotia- tions are mainly lacking, but ‘tKe Evening Sun has been informed threugh private advices that Bulgarts insisted that for all the promises made she should have British guar- antees, entirely refusing tc accept any Russian assurance. Apparently, this British guarantee has been given and the Buigarian e pledge of neutrality, announced both in London and Sofia, represents the most considerable triumph of allied diplomacy since Italy affirmed her neutrality. If it is followed by decla- rations of war by Greece and Ru- mania it will be one more step in what seems to be the inevitable march of events toward German de- feat. For Rumania the war holds out in- stant profit.. Transylvania, just across the mountains from her own territory, holds 1,500,000 Rumanians in a population of 2,500,000. In Bukowina, also coftiguoum there are at least 500,000 Rumaniand in a population of nearly 1,000,000. Russia, now holding Bukoviania, has steadily offered it as a reward for Rumonian enlistment. Thus, a ter- ritory of 36,000 square miles, half as large as New York State, with 3,500,- 00% people, would fall 10 Rumapia, who could easily afford to return to Bulgaria her Dobrudja districts. Such an increase would make Rumania‘a state with more than 10,000,000 inhabi- tants, mainly Rumanians, and an area of more than 75,000 square miles, How Greece Would Gain. Greece, for her part, would be as- sured of her possession of the Ha- gean Islands, still claimed by Tur- key. She would certainly be permit- ted to hold Northern Epirus, sur- rendered after the Balkan wars be- cause of Italian opposition, réoccu- pied now with Italy’s consent, since Italy has established herself in Al- vona Bay. But, above all else, she would be permanently freed from the menace of Austro-German ambi- tions which have always planned to descend the Vardar Valley and make Saloniki the Austro-German gateway to the near east. Rumanian military strength is just- ly respected by all European ex- perts. In the second Balkan war ‘it did no real fighting, but it demon- strated efficiency and leadership in its rapid occupation of Northern Bulgaria. The Hohenzollern King Charles had always cared for his army and its fighting qualities were demonstrated at Plevna, when it saved the Russians. Notjess than 600,000 trained troops could take the fleld promptly. Greek armies proved their worth at Yemidje-Vardar and Kilmis in the two Balkan wars. Trained by French officers, they wholly atoned for the inglorious defeats of the previous war with Turkey, ‘and King Con- stantine showed himself a command- er of very great ability. Greece could be depended upon to put 20,- 000 veterans, trained to battle and used to victory, into the field to sup- port their old Servian allies of 1913. Austria herself has confessed the failure of her Servian campaign and drawn off the mass of her troops tc save her Hungarian fron- tiers, If to 250,000 victorious Serbs there are now joined 750,000 Greeks and Rumanians, it is unmistakable that the whole Austrian campaign east of the Carpathians: will have to be abandoned and Austrian armies re- called to defend Budapest and Vi- enna from the south, will leave Ger- many to face Russia on the east and France, England and Belgium on the west single-handed. . Italy Might Be Drawn In. Moreover, it is doubtful whether Italy, if allied victory were thus assured, and her share in Austrian spoil in danger if she stood aside, could be longer held back. It is plain then that today’s news from London, if it correctly forecasts Bulgarian neutrality and Greek and Rumanian enlistment, is the most in- teresting that has come since the report of German defeat. at the Marne. garia the Thracian territories won | f -—emeraneemenennnes trenches of the first line and had made progress in the wood of ’St. Mard.

LONDON, Dec. 2.—The Daily Chron- icle’s correspondent at Paris telegraphs an interview from L/Humanite, which Jean Longuet, a Socialist Deputy for Paris, had with Liloyd-George, the Brit- ish Chancellor of the Exchequer, on the war and the efforts Great Britain is making. Lloyd-George at the outset expressed the opinion that the French people do not- realize fully the effort that is being made by Engiand for the common cause . of the allies. He said: “Do you know, firstly, that Great Brit- ain is expending as much, or more, I be- lieve, at the present, as France in the war, notwithstanding the relative small- and navy is at present $225,000,0007" “But” observed Deputy Longult , “how is your e! contribution to be explained, even ing into account the cost of your midable fleet, when it is that your army at the front scarcely one-sixth of ours?’ |. “In reality,” exclaimed “England has at present 2,000,000 of her sailors and arms.

LUUIS_POST-DISPATCH HOUSE DEBA PROHIBITION, VOTE ASSURED TONIGHT Crowds Pack the Galleries for Eight Hours of Argu- ment on Hobson Resolu- tion to Submit the Abolli- tion of Liquor Traffic to a Vote of the States. LOBBIES FOR BOTH SIDES ARE ACTIVE Underwood Speaks Against Dry Amendment, Saying It Would Cost Govern- ment $325,000,000 in Rev- enue. WASHINGTON, Dec. 22.—Under a spe- cial rule, which was adopted without a rolicall, the House began just after noon today an eight-hour debate the Hobson resolution to submit to the states a constitutional amendment for pational prohibition. An aye and no vote on the resolution will be reached tonight. The vote on on the special rule was a rolling chorus of ‘“aye.’’ The debate which followed was one of the most interesting if not tie most spectacular of recent years. The passage of the rule, which was conceded by those op- posing the Hobson resolution, many of whom voted for the rule to get the res- olution out to a vote, was preceded by a statement by Democratic Leader Un- derwood and scattering debate on both sides. UWnderwood made it clear that the Democratic leadership in the House was in favor of meeting the issue with a vote. Hobson Demands Passage. “This is not a temperance question,”’ said he. “It never has been. Prohibi- tion has not produced temperance in the lands where it has been tried. | regard this question as an attack on the fundamental principles of our Gov- ernment. If it is allowed to go without being met it will mislead many of the people. If allowed to proceed without being combated, the day may come when it may be a serious menace to the principles of Government which you and I believe in.’’ The debate on the rule Has been a running desultory fire, but with con- sideratiof of the resolution itself the real heavy artillery was unlimbered. Representative Hobson, author of the prohibition resolution, led off with a dramatic demand for its passage. He Geclared a state had a right to be “Ary,” that the liquor business was an “interstate nuisance,” and that there had never been a serious conflict be- tween Federal and state laws for pro- tection of the morals of the people. He portrayed the devastating effect of liquor, “a habit-forming drug whose @hackled victims,” he said, today num- bered 5,000,000. Representative Hobson referred to the hic charts portraying the evils of @ liquor traffic and, after speaking only 10 minutes, began to yield time to ®Sther members who spoke in support of fis resolution. Representative Connol- By supported the amendment, declaring prohibition should be a success in Kan- gas, and Representative Morgan of Ok- jlahoma also supported it, referring to prohibition in his State. Representatives Decker, Tribble, Langley, Logue and Bell (California) made brief speeches in favor of the amendment. Representa- tive Ferriss of Oklahoma made a vigor- ous plea for it. Points to L in Revenue. Representative nderwood, then @peaking on the resolution directly, op- posed it. “‘We are here today,” he said, “to consider a proposal as to whether tertain police regulations should be turned over to the Federal Government Instead of being allowed to remain in the Government of various states, where the founders of the nation placed them..” Underwood declared that the principle of national prohibition ‘‘was the very principle which our forefathers fought; the same principle of centralization that @estroyed the ancient republics of Greece and Rome.” “In an idle hour,” he continued, ‘‘there has grown up in this republic a fac- tion which, clothed in the white robe of temperance—for all men believe in tem- perance—would tear down the fabric of this Government and remove the foun- @Gation stones of our national exist- ence.”’ He declared prohibition would cost $825,000,000 in lost revenue. “Boot-legging, they say, is the great- est evil of the liquor traffic,”’ he added. “In prohibition Georgia there were 800 Cases of bootlegging last year; in .non- prohibition Alabama, only 300. Prohibi- tion does not prohibit.” Rucker Speaks for Dryas. Representative Adamson of Georgia “between the bar- rooms and damnation, and prohibition and salvation, I stand with the drys.’ He offered an amendment designed to Conserve state regulation. Representative Rucker of Missouri also speaking for the amendment, de- clared Underwood, while mentioning loss of revenue, failed to tell of the millions lost by the drink habit to homes and firesides and the loss of hap- piness and prosperity. “Quit this degeneration of man- kind,” he shouted. Representative Garrett of Texas de- Glared that even as an ardent support- r of state’s rights, he was willing for xas to give up the right to the man- ufacture and sale of liquor. The seasion began two hours earlier than usual, in order that the question might be brought to a final vote today, ‘and the galleries were well filled from Lobbies for both the ohibition and liquor forces were act- both before and during the debate, s xe F ight for Single “Tax, Says Marguerite Martyn ®)_ aro = = $25. ——— ox Ng Og TM, get yet Og Oa yyy, a - ES — em tere ag gg et et a i i die a a pam — anata! ween I ta I nO I I tt at Op Witten tags ey ta ~~ “= - _ - a net nage neta or - “ eer ey - wv hale eR Picci anttmeasiiacstiy ne ee NB tami te Sie lee in a maceaLllllaalla ti in, Al et ny ee ee nanan

They acted so quickly that Bacigalupo did not have time to draw his weapon. “We saw you stick your gun in your tocket,’’ said one of them as thev he- gan searching his pockets.

A long-nosed man walked up to the bar in the saloon at £00 South Third Street at 8:30 o'clock last night and, after taking a é4rink, ordered the bar- lender and five patrons to retreat to a room at the rear. He backed up his command with a revolver and the six men lost no time in complying. Louis Weisman, the bartender, was (he last to retreat, and as he pessed the robber the latter took $10 from his pock- et. Then he walked behind the bar and took $10.75. Before leaving he looked in at his prisoners and told them he wouid shoot the man that dared to fol- low him. Weisman rai threugh a back door, in- tending to go to his room upstairs and summon his bLrotker, Harry . Weisman, proprietor of the saloon, but he was headed off by the robber, who had run through a° hallway and was making for the backyard fenca. Poking Weisman in the ribs with his revolver the robber ordered him back into the saloon and as they entered Gus Rogers, one of tne Customers, who was hiding behind the door, struck the rib- ber on the head with a beer bottle. The latter fired a shot into the ceiling ana fied, followed by his six victims. They chased him to Third street and Clark avenue, where he disappeared.

The voung man has gained fame by devis- ing a torpedo boat controlled by wire- ‘ess, and now with his shell expects to *evolutionize siege operations. He says ne has recievd offers from foreign Gov- ermments for his device. “The shell is designed to use against material rather than against persons,” 1e said. “Against masses.of men shrap- nel would possibly be better. The ap- plication of my invention would be wimarily against buildings. The ex- “‘agion will set fire to a building much mOse rapidly than the shells ordinarily Siaaclang’ the’ vite shea Woah acti and immediately ignite all ingame: material around it. “Teste of the new shell have been oon- ducted in secret at my Gloucester lab- oratory, and United States army observ- ers who are regularly stationed here have seen them. There seems to be | Sreat possibilities in the new shell, ‘since the heat in it is second only to the heat of the electric arc. When the explosion occurs it develops heat of 540 degrees Fahrenheit, which is about 1000 degrees lower than that of the electric arc. It is as great as the heat devel- oped by the most powerful explosive hitherto used, such as lyddite, for ex- ample, and the heat continues for 4 much longer time.’ Two-Cent Fare Repeal to be Urged. INDIANAPOLIS, Ind., Dec. 22.—Steam railroads operating in Indiana are pre- paring to ask the 1915 Legislature to repeal the two-cent fare law and pro- vide for a fare of 2% cents a mile.

By a Staff Correspondent of the Post-Dispatch. JEFFERSON CITY, Dec. 22.—Sec- retary of State Roach received an opinion from Attorney-Geenral Barker today in which Barker holds that the selling of official information by clerks in Roach’s office is in conflict with the spirit and intention of the law and indicates that such action on the part of State employes might lead to an abuse which would handi- cap them in the discharge of their official duties. Although the \ Missouri statutes cover the case broadly, requiring that officials shall devote their time and attention to the duties of their offices, Barker says the Legislatures of other states have spoken plainly rebuking the practice and he cites @ large number of decisions from the Supreme and Appellate Courts which hold, uniformly, that no officer shall be. permitted to take or exact more than is prescrihed by law. Barker said: ‘‘There is and can be no question but that the presumption of law is that the salary and fees -«r other compensation which it has fixed as a reward for the performance of official duty are adequate, AND THE OFFICER, BY ACCEPTING THE OF- FICE, IMPLIEDLY AGREES TO PER- FORM ITS DUTIES FOR THE RE- WARD SO PRESCRIBED. HE WILL NOT, THEREFORE, BE PERMITTED TO TAKE OR EXACT MORE THAN IS PRESCRIBED BY LAW.” What Service Ma Be Giv Barker holds that it fe not icnlawtel “for a public officer or employe, em- ployed by the State to render services outside of his employment, AND NOT IN ANY WISE CONNECTED THERE- WITH, for which he may receive and retain a fee. “For instance, if the Secretary of State is a lawyer, he may practice law while acting as Secretary of State, for cutside parties, and not connected in any wise with his duties as Secretary of State and may charge for such serv- ices. Or, for instance, a stenographer, in any of the State departments, may take deposition or do outside work no* connected with such office and may make a charge therefor. ‘‘However, as I understand your ques- tion, this is not the real point, but the point is, can an employe copy records from the particular office in which he may be employed and receive pay fo: furnishing this information. ‘THIS {S QUITE DIFFERENT FROM DOIN OUTSIDE AND INDEPENDENT WORK.” The Nebraska Supreme Court com- telled the State Auditor to pay baek into the State Treasury $646 for services which were not official and for which he received pay from outside corpora- tions. The Auditor had been selling ‘preparations of statements for life in- surance companies and procuring the same to be published.” His attorneys urged that he permitted to retain the fees, but the Court declared that as a State officer ‘‘his obligation and duties rreciude the idea ‘that he could at the same time be in the private service and pay of the insurance companies. Might Make Big Profits. “Tt enables the Treasurer to make enormous profits out of his office and to add largely to the compensation for his services fixed by statutes. such a contract there certainly would be a conflict between duty and the in- terests of the officer, and extraordinary facilities for personal advaniage from official position.’’ Under Barker quotes from the Supreme Court ef Michigan to emphasize his contention that men in positions of public trusts ‘hould refrain from all practices which might prejudice them in the discharge ef their official Court said: ed with puplic functions for the good of the public, to protect, advance and pro- mote its interests, and not their own. And a greater necessity exists than in private life for removing from them every inducement to abuse the truret tre- duties. The Michigan ‘All public officers are trust- sed in them. As the temptations to which they are sometimes exXpuséu aie sometimes stronger, and the risk of de- ection and exposure less.” A representative of a private clip- ping bureau was quoted in the Post- Ditpatch selling as saying that she had been unable to obtain a list’ of the auto- mobile registrations in the Secretary of State’s office until after her clii- ents had received from other sources. she asked for the records each day, she was told they had not been en- tered. exposure of information the information She said when tes From Authority. on that point, Barker “Greenhold on Public “Any contract Quo Touching as follows: ic good is void. “The policy of the law will not allow an officer to do more than his officia’ duty with a view to increase his fees 0 ee Nba Sh ‘db sale at exactly % price. .

AN INDUCEMENT TO ACT IN VIO- LATION OF SUCH DUTY IS IL- LEGAL. Barker also quotes from the ency- clopedia of law, which holds the hon- est administration of ,public duties second only in importance to the preservation of the people. It says: “A people can have liberties of any o higher public interest, except the opinion on the legality of information which he was to receive $1000, and asked TUESDAY EVENING, ‘their ‘government, in all its depart- | I therefore a principle of @ common law that it will not lend its aid to enforce a contract to do an act which tends to corrupt or con- taminate, by improper and sinister influences, the integrity of our social or political institutions. Public offi- cers should act from high considera- tion of public duty, and hence every agreement whose tendency or object is to sully the purity or mislead the judgments of those to whom the high trust is confided is condemned by the courts. The officer may be executive, administrative, legislative or judi- cial.” Should Keep From Temptation, Barker holds that men in positions of public trust shall keep themselves in such a position that nothing can tempt them to swerve from the straight line of official duty. He quotes from a decision of the Su- preme Court of Indiana, which says: “There is neither @ more wholesome nor a sounder rule of law than that which requires public officers to keep themselves in such a position that noth- ing shall tempt them to swerve from the straight linec*of official duty. Offi- cers ought not to be permitted to place themselves in a position in which per- sonal interest may come in contact with the duty they owe to the public, “The purpose of the rule is to prevent persons from assuming a position where selfish motives:may impel them to sacrifice the public good to private benefit.” Barker again quotes the Indiana Su- preme Court which held, in the case of a County Treasurer who accepted money to which the Court found he was not entitled ‘“‘that the general rule, appli- cable to fiduciaries prohibiting them from taking- advantage of their positions to make profit for themselves out of the trust estate, should be strictly en- forced against public officers who are guilty of similar malfeasance. The pro- tection of the public interest requires that no exception to this rule shall be allowed nor any evasion tolerated.” Responsibility on Department Heads. After citing numerous statutes ‘and cases from other states, showing that the employment of public officials by private corporations, along the line of their official duty is illegal, and not tol- erated, Barker lays the final responsi- bility for such practices upon the Secre- tary of State and heads of the other departments until such time as the courts or the Legislature of Missoun shall pass upon the question. He says: “I think this matter is large- ly addressed to the wise consideration of the State officer in charge of such office to say whether or not such prac- tices might lead to an abusé, and de- prive the public of their rights.”’ When Roach wrote to Barker for an selling by his clerks, he said he had an offer to deliver a series of lectures for a if he would be permitted to retain the months last summer on the Chatauqua platform, for which he received several thousand dollars. Barker replied that there is no law to prohibit Roach from accepting such employment, because ‘t is entirely outside of his office, duties... distinguished public officials as Vice- President Marshall, Bryan and Speaker Champ Clark and numerous deliver Chautauqua addresses all over the United States, therefor. tion given parcel post. pure. reasonable prices. money for such service. This was considered a personal thrust at the Attorney-General, who spent two and should not conflict with his officinl As justification of his holding on that point, Barker cites the fact that such Secretary of State Senators Congressmen and and receive pay La Salte Xmas Special. 3 Ibs. of 40c Candies, $1.

NEW YORK, Dec. 2.—The Govern- ment’s Sherman iaw monopoly suit against the Lehigh Valley Railroad Co. and a number of other defendants en- gaged in the mining and transportation of anthracite coal was dismissed by Judge Charles M. Hough in the United District Court here yesterday. Prarie Hough said: “No monopoly of interstate commerce, nor anj attempt to monopolize, is shown. The proof of the pudding is in the eating thereof, and it is impossible to find any of the nor- mal results of monopoly without also finding violations of the commodities clause, and none is discovered. As to the restraint of interstate trade in coal transported over the Lehigh road, there can be no restraint without control, and since the railroad does not control f the coal it carries it has no means of restraint.”” Ee ROSS-GOULD LIST & LETPER Co. 99% Guaranteed Mailing Lists.

By going to Dreamland tonight you not only will get the biggest 50 cents’ worth of fun you evér had. but you also will have purchased one- third of a basket dinner to be sent to a poor family, half of the presents to be given each child at the Coliseum on Christmas day, or a dinner for a home- less man.

These dances are different from any seen re- cently in St. Louis. Miss Edson is the daughter of Mrs; Charles Farwell Ed- son, the Los Angeles suffragist, and learned her steps in Paris. About 10:30 the prize waltz will begin. Anybody may compete. Previous entry is not. required. When the judges an- nounce their readiness any couple at Dreamland may take the floor and join in the competition. This is to be the real, old-iashioned waltz, and not the hesitation waltz or any Of its variations. Prize One-Step Contest. Soon after this the prize one-step con- test will start under the same rules. The ten judges will determine the winners in both contests and four gold medals will be awarded, two going to the lady and gentleman winning the waltz con- test, and two to the lady and gentleman winning the one-step contest. About 11:30 Roger Gray and Louise Allen, the musical comedy favorites of the compeny playing at the Park and Shenandoah Theaters, will arrive at Dreamland from “The Gingerbread Man” performance at the Shenandoah, in the inimitable Gray-Allen manner.

Next week in many places throughout the world will be celebrated the four-hundredth anniversary of the birth of Andreas Vesalius. Andreas Ves- alius was the great pioneer, the Christopher Col- umbus, of human anatomy. On the last day of December in the year 1514 he was born—at Brus- sels, A few months ago when Louvain was burned, i Dr. Skrainka remarked, in the Interstate Medical Journal: It would not be meet at this time to enter into a discussion as to the real reasons why so famous a university as that of Louvain was destroyed in the present war, but all scholars must bemoan the fact that this ca- lamity, this blow to culture has occurred. What student of the history of medicine has not lovingly referred, time and again, to the venerable pile of stone which typifies the University of Louvain or has not visited it for the sake of the reputation of one man— Andreas Vesalius. In his classic essay upon Vesalius, Henry Morley wrote: There’ is an old folio, known to most men who Have visited the fountain-heads of med- ical literature, and dear to bookworms for its woodcut illustrations, which in their own’ time were ascribed to Titian. It is the Cor- poris Humanti Fabrica of Andreas Vesalius. The first page is adorned with a large and spirited woodcut, in which a young man, wearing professor’s robes, is to be seen stand- ing at the table of a lecture theater, and pointing out from a robust subject that lies before him the inner secreta of the human body. The tiers of benches that surround . the lecture-table are completely crowded with gtave doctors, who are leaning forward, struggling to see, and even climbing upon railings, from which they look down with faces that present a striking group, expres- sive of much wonder, interest, and curiosity, mixed with a little awe. And yet they look ‘upon a spectacle which. is presented in our day as a matter-of-course to thousands of young men during the winter session at the hospitals. The woodcut at once leads us to suppose that we have to deal in the book to which it is prefixed with a man who was the first to force his way into a path obstructed by a heavy barricade of prejudice. Vesalius revolutionized, reconstructed, the science of anatomy, through dissection. Before. Vesalius there were dissections, but no accurate anatomists. In the words of Dr. Matheson Cullen, the mists and shadows of three and a half cen- turies have so gathered round the figure and fame of Vesalius that the events of his life and the grandeur of his achievement have become almost lost to the mental vision of the present genera- tion. The near approach of the fourth centenary of his birth and the celebrations with which his fellow-countrymen intend to mark it, will, it is hoped, rescue his name from the undeserved ob- livion into which it has fallen, and place in en- during light the extraordinary work he accom- plished, and the extent of the debt which anatomy must forever owe him. = S Ve i i A ‘*MISSOURI BOYS.’’ “The Missouri Boys’ Social Club” was bound to command respectful attention sooner or later if only for its name. The name of Missouri Boys connotes ard assumes positive character. Nor have the Boys failed to live up to their name or disappointed the promge of interest which it im- plied. Two weeks ago the Missouri Boys showed the stuff they were made of when they filed a dam- age suit against a Police Sergeant for upsetting a keg of beer in their clubroom. Policemen should know better than to take liberties with Missouri Boys. The history and tradition of Missouri Boys is full of warning to policemen, Sheriffs, depu- ties, even posses. Missouri Boys have never suf- fered themselves to be tampered with lightly. Re- calling Bald Knob and Clay County and the Blue Cut, it is no surprise to us to read the account of what the Boys did Sunday evening: Fourteen grown members of the Missouri Boys’ Social Club, 2701 South Ninth street, at- tacked Patrolman Frank H. Hoener with kyives, hammers, pokers and beer glasses while he was leaving their clubroom last night after an investigation. A riot call brought police reinforcements and the 14 men were arrested. Two of them were treated at the city hospital for wounds. ‘ Anyhow, it took a whole police force to arrest them. Needless to say, we condemn lawlessness and riots and violations of excise provisions and Supreme Court rulings. Far be it from us to con- done reprehensible conduct in anybody, even in a Missouri Boy. But we love romance and ad- mire valor fust the same. MOVING VAN SUPERMAN. Hezekiah Martin, licensed truckman of Dobbs Ferry, N. Y., moved Mrs. Anna Palmer Draper nu less than 104 different times in her alternating between her country and her city house. Th!s sets a pace but is not as remarkable as another record to which Mr. Martin lays claim. He was able to create jn Mrs. Draper's mind the {fllusion that he never broke any of her things—so complete an illusion, in fact, that she left him $5000 when.she died, ‘ The astuteness of the moving van superman who can thus conceal his devastations and hide the pieces {s akin to that of the politicians who successfully hide the shells. Having got ,the money he ought to tell how he did it.

I was put to bed with it, because that is the way they do with the new baby downstairs, and because he wears a _ long dress, I have to.” “He!” echoed Bobby Jones. “Do you mean to tell me, Drusilla, that a boy has cqme to live here all the time?’ “I can’t say whether he has come to stay or not, but he is my little mother’s brother, and I reckon he will live here.” “O! dear; oh! dear!” sighed Bobby Jones. “What will become of us?” “Oh, he is very little,” explained Drusilla; “not much bigger than I am. It will be a Jong time before he can get up here. I am not worrying about that; it is whether I am to be a baby or not that I am fretting about.” “Why will you have to be a baby?” asked Bobby; “isn’t one in the house enough?’ “You wouldn't think so if you could hear him cry,” answered Drusilla, “but the trouble is this—my little mother wants to play with the new baby; she wants it for a doll, and when the nurse would not let her give it a bath and dress it she be- fan to cry. ‘So they told my little mother to play I was a baby, and do all the things the nurse did with the new baby. “That is the reason I have on this dress.

ANYTHING in the nature of a fow]l seems to ruin the Ethiopian ap- preciation of property rights. Perhaps that’s why the coiored fighters contin- ually seek to assassinate the goose that lays the golden egg. The Wisconsin Boxing Commission has barred the colored scrappers, Par. ticularly Sam McVey and im Lang- ford, who were wanted to feature a Milwaukee show. The two Sams, it appears, have not been boxing according to Hoyle, and for this and other reasons are con- Sidered undesirable. Both Sams have recently been guilty of permitting Jim Johnson, a giant colored dub, to stick around for the limit, in several recent fights, although both outclassed him badly. One of McVey’s first stunts, on arriv- ing in this country, was to let Jim Johnson live through 10 rounds of a New York contest. when he could easily have ended it sooner. o> Money’s Worth or Quit. = the fights have been cut down in duration, boxers have taken to the idea that halfway con- dition, semi-serioug efforts and a large guarantee are the main essen- tials, when they box. On the contrary, the fans expect to see good condition and far more action than under longer fight conditions. In short bouts there is no excuse for the drama flagging, after the men have sized up their opponents. As a matter of fact, only in a few of the lohg list of battles where the uarantees range between $500 and 1000, will the mpoerasere see a con- test into which both rivals have en- tered with all their hearts. And for this reason some of the Stars are remaining idle. A good pre- liminary is better than a lazy wind- up. ————_ .._., MONDAY’S FIGHT RESULTS K. O.

NEW YORK, Dec. 22.—Here its the latest ‘‘dope’’ -on Fdck-- Johnson. and probably the most authentic recently published. It comes from John Schiff, a featherweight boxer who has just arrived in New York from London. Schiff is an American from Los Angeles. He went to Australia and fought four flights there—then traveled to London, where, finding no boxing on in the clubs, he went to work with Jack John- son in his show and spent seven weeks in Johnson’s company. ; “Tohnson isn’t all in by any means,’ gaid Schiff. ‘‘He is very fat, but he isn’t at all slow. He is fast on his feet and he can hit as hard as ever. But for the fat he is carrying he is in good shape. He expects to do two months of hard work before his next fight, and T think that will make him as good as he ever was. He handled the English and French heavyweights like babies when they came up to meet him on the stage. Of course they weren’t the class, but the way that he handled them showed that he hasn’t for- gotten anything. Will Open a. Cafe. ‘Johnson talked about his plans. He He expects’ to open a big cafe like his Chicago place either in Havana or in Ruenos Ayres. He intends to do this after the couple of fights. Before r- ley came to England to sign Johnson with Willard Johnson had accepted an offer from Havana to fight McVey be- fore Willard. He may have changed his mind and signed the articles with WIl- lard; but he doesn’t care which comes first. He'll fight them both. «Johnson isn’t broke or near broke. I know that he has been sending money to support his mother and his }sister and some nephews, and he has twro autos and a chauffeur and his wife is covered with jewelry, so he hasn’t found the tron men scarce in Furope. He has plenty of money. He intends to have a few fights and then settle down as a retired champion in either Havana or Buenos Altres.” Wise Up, Mr. Willard. If Johnson is in the condition de- scribed by Schiff, it’s about time Jess Willard showed the people of this country something. He'll have to be in pretty good shape himself to beat down the clever black champion no matter how big and strong and will- on * Willard is. fillard should be boxing every week, right now. He should be tak- ing on the best heavy weights he can find as fast as he can get them. He needs all the ring experience he can get. If his backers are confident that he is a good enough man to whip Johnson they surely don’t think he’d be risking defeat by taking on 10- round bouts with any of the heavies we've seen around here in the ring in the past year.

According to Marty McHale, the Yan- kee pitcher, only three players have j signed with Farrell for next season. They are Ray Keating, the pitcher; Ed Syreeney, the catcher, and Fritz Maizel, the third-sacking speed demon.

Louis U. and may never do so, as Mr. Keogan is sit- ting tight on the task just now, but there is a certain coterie of Bender boosters who would welcome the return of the Nebraska hero. Bender always has and probably al- ways will be esteemed the greatest de- fensive coach at the Billiken school. Cochems shone as a deviser of deceiv- ing plays, but Bender built a defense that stopped the attack of every team t. Louis U. met in 1910 and 1911. Farl Painter, who captained the 1911! squad, says Bender is the best defensive coach he ever knew. His record of hold- ing Syracuse, a team that beat Carlisle and Cornell, to a 6—6 tle that year, up- set the dope. He also beat Missouri, 80.

Baum of the Pacific Coast League announced that Salt Lake would be the sixth city in the Coast League circuit taking the place of the Sacra- mento mission club next season. t @ pays $15,000 for the fran- chise and 14 Sacramento mission play- ers, and also arantees visiting clubs a minimum of $2000 a week, other cities doing likewise. Cliff Blankenship, “‘dis- coverer”’ of Walter Johnson, and a well- known manager, will likely manage Salt Lake. He goes East Wednesday to get players with which to fill out the club Salt Lake draws in the deal. arrangement of the contest is hanging fire. The St. Lopis U. authorities ex- pressed a willingness, even eagerness, Asset Soe. to arrange the contest, but thus far : Missour! U. has not sent the contract. A question asked Director of Athletics Chester L. Brewer at Columbia VU, by the Post-Dispatch representative, elic- ited the following statement: “So far as Missouri University is con- cerned, no football game with St. Louis University has been arranged.

TD WED TITAN WIDOW, GIRL SAYS Horace de Camp’s Romance With Mrs. Marvin Began at Boat Races, Suit Alleges. NEW YORE, Dec. 22.—Miss Florence EB. Clark, whose breach of promise suit for $3,000 against Horace de Camp, a wealthy clubman, came to light when De Camp asked in the Supreme Court for a bill of particulars. She admits she was not at all surprised when her fiance suddenly wedded the widow of Daniel V. Marvin instead of herself. “He told me he was going to marry her, and as this was six months before the ceremony. I couldn’t very well have nn Ene ec oe ST.LOUIS POST-DISPATCH ——= been surprised,”’ she said. “] had known him three years before I betame en- gaged to him and we had been very good friends.” ‘ Gave Up a Career on Stage. In her —. Miss Clark declares she @ @ prospective career on the stage to kedome De Camp's bride, and she feels“ cial recompense is due her. At the time the two became interested in each other the young woman was attending a dramatic school and the bill of particulars asked for is designed to show what school this was. Miss Clark alleges the promise was given in the Blue Mountains of Penn- sylvania, and De Camp asks that she specify whether the prornise was oral or written. It is explained in the com- plaint that when Miss Clark asked for the ceremony, her fiance replied she need never return so far as he was concerned. The plaintii: sets forth that the rea- son De Camp forsock her was thar during the boat races at Poughkeep- sie he met the charming Mrs. Marvin. She had been widowed when the Ti- | tanic foundered. Later she became & when she should return to New York’ eaten nee ete ee ee | mother. It was following tne races that Miss Clark was told she need not hasten her return to the city, as the ceremony wasn’t going to take place. WATERWAY POLICY UNDECIDED President and Cabinet Defer Decision on Commission Proposal. WASHINGTON, Dec. 22.—Whether the administration shall urge upon Con- gress for action at this session Senator Newlands’ proposal for the creation of a commission to direct all waterways improvements, remained today an open questién. The plan was considered at a confer- ence at the White House last night be- tween President Wilson, members of his Cabinet and others, but no decision was reached, the question having been left for determination at a future meeting, when the question whether, because of the shortness of the session of Con- gress, any attempt should be made to press the measure immediately will be taken up.

= INALLY the great night of the premier of Horace Grindem’s his- 4» torical spectacular drama, “The Maiden Martyr,” was at hand. At. Mr. Jarr’s suggestion the time @ock had been brought up from Mr. Ja Smith's wholesale woolen ware- sit Aa and installed at the top of the ‘isirway leading to the first balcony, and all the employes had been notified they would have to ring in between 7:30 a 8 o'clock the night of the perform- Pihoee who didn’t report or who rang out before 10:50 p. m., when the curtain - went down, would be sacked at the shop, but those who put in their time at the _ performance were to be paid for half a day extra. ‘Fritz, the shipping clerk, was person- ally to marshal the porters and truck- men*of the firm in the gallery, and each man was to bring his bale book, packing ease hammer and nafl puller, to help with the applause. oe “When Mr. Sam Slanger, the great manager, saw these preparations he ee chon tr te ts ou got to hand it to these captains of industry,” he gasped. “Here I've been hiring audiences all season and never thought of that time-clock gag. Tll bet half of my hired audiences out and double-crossed me by ‘working again as audiences at cut rates opposition houses when they had late- aie shows. Now I know what to do. Til put in those time clocks, and from this on our salaried gallery audi- ences will have to ring in before and aft- er each act.” ~“Tt's too bad these are stage secrets tind can't be given out for publicity pur murmured the admiring Mr. , the press agent. “The dame husband fe the bankroll behind this show wouldn’t let us have parts written in for that old human head- ee but I’ve got him as on the sidewalk and in the ned in Peoria,” re- ee oid oA and he knows that, _ but do the boobs know it?’ asked Mr. _ Dogetory. “Why, he's been doing it all day, and we got an advance sale of , Seven seats; and five of them know it ain't moving pictures.” | ‘Phere was no trouble about getting | J audience for the orchestra seats und boxes, however. Mr. ‘Beagle distributed tickets g all the hotel club women and as these un- fortunates have no habitation except the clothes they Wear, and ag they were further told a buffet luncheon with Yreal food would be served after the show,, they filled half the seats. «Fer. the rest, Mrs. Jarr suggested ahe would spread the news among all of Mrs. Mudridge-Smith’s dearest friends in society circles that Mrs. Mud- ftidge-BSmith would make an awful fiasco and be a pitiful spectacle from stage fright; and so a bumper house was as- eured. As a matter of fact, Mrs. Mudridge- Smith was. handsome, knew how to sabe herself gracefully and looked etun in the classic robes of a Chrtstign maiden of the time of Nero. Besides, she was conceited and sure of and Mrs. herself and had been thoroughly coached o way. “As thou knowest, Parsnipus, I s _ thy slave!” and to roll her eyes r b- ‘and soon ; Me “*"You sald when you sold. me my four horsepower runabout that you'd ae ‘TRULY I DIDNT “POR LOOoKW We, Im tad!

If a feller allus did what his friends think he orter he wouldn't make the same mistakesa—he'd make others. The old sayin’ is there's really more jobs than there is fellers to hold ’em—but not toney jobs, and that’s the trubbie.

Gid went to Hicks j function that afternogn to dicker witn Elias Ellis, prop. of the Ellis Tavern. for a roan horse Elias advertised for sale Gid walked. He didn’t show up, come supper time, and when Mrs. Sprigge went to bed at 8:30, havin’ set up half an hour beyond her usual bed time to wait for ‘him, Gid hadn't ar rove yet. He got in later without wak- in’ Matilda, and in the mornin’ she asked him what kept him. ‘“Diokering,”’ he says. “Drinkin’, you mean,”’ she says. “Nope,”’ he says, “nary drinkin’. We dickered and dickered till night 8 Jj o’clock, and then I come straight home, and come home straight!"

Ezra ain't never been knowed to give nobody noth- in’ for nothin’ and he ain’t never been knowed to spend a cent for nothin’ he could do without, even for new gallus buttons. But yestidday he bought 15 cents’ worth of muslin in Bemis Bros. Emporium for hia wife to piece Huphe- mia’s party dress with, and give him a quarter. Bije Bemis, who waited on him, handed him a dime in change and Ezra handed it right back to him, and says: “I don’t want that change!” Ev- erybody in the, store set up and like to of doubted their eyes and ears at such a unheard-of generosity when Ezra says: “Gimme another dime—that one’s a Ca- nadian!"’ In These Days and Times.

The Ruse Worked. YOUNG LADY took down the re- celver and: discovered that the telephone was in use, relates the Chris- tlan Endeavor World. “IT had just put on a pan of beans for dinner,” she heard one woman com- placently informing another. She hung up the receiver, and waited. Three times she waited, and then, ex- asperated, she broke into the conversa- tion. “Madam, I smell your beans Secale she - announced crisply.
