CHICAGO, Dec 2O.-The second contest
In Chicago between the three billiard ex-
perts, Vignaux, Schaefer and Slosson, be-
gins at Central Music hall tomorrow even
ing, Slosson and Vign aux being scheduled
to play the opening game. The articles of
agreement provide that the tournament
shall be played to a finish, so that, should
the games of tomorrow, Tuesday and
Wednesday nights fail to settle the question
of supremacy between the three. tie games
will be arranged. 1t is not nearly so likely,
however, that tie will result, where there
are but three games to be played. and it
seems to be the impression that Wednes-
day night will settle the question
of the championship. The games will
be of 800 points each and commenced
promptly at 1880 o'clock. John Callahan
of Milwaukee was decided upon la 'vening
as referee. In practice yesterdt ,losson
averaged 90 1927 in 800 in runs of 1879. 1856
and 70, and Schaefer averaged the same
with runs of lis, 80 and rs. Vignaux
played poorly, his average being but Ii 7-61
in 800, with runs Of 161, 81 and 20. There
is talk of a tournament in which number
of well-known players. now in the city,
will participate. Tom Foley has been
asked by the players to take the arrange
ment of the contest in hand. and he antici-
pates that it will take place within the next
thirty days. The contestants will be Tom
Gallagher, Billy Cotton, Eugene Carter,
John Thatcher. Capt. Anson. John Mat
thews and Billy Hatley. The style of
game will be fourteen-inch balk-line, 800
or 400 points up. with stakes of 500 cor

The Hog Ate Dynamite.

The question of the work of dynamite fiends
in London, recently, being discussed in one of
the public resorts of this city, many stories were
told Of terrible distinctions that this material
had caused, at times. By and by cap sheaf
took its place. A gentleman remarked: ''Talk
about Dynamite can tell you true story of
what nitro glycerine once dbl our State 1t was
out near Prairie du Chem, where they were
blasting a cut on the Prairie du Chem division
of the Chicago. Milwaukee, & St Paul road
The contractor had several kegs of the stuff in
an underground place One day a workman went
to get some and left the place open; by and by
some hogs came along, and one of them slipped
into this place where the combustible itself was
kept. The hog found keg open. and as glycer-
inc is as sweet almost as honey the animal filled
himself. He came out by and by and soon wan
dered into stable near by which contained
about forty horses belonging to the contractor.
The hog got fooling around among the horses
hind legs, when one of them drew off and gave
Mr. Hog a good one The conclusion started
the business, and not a vestige was ever discov
cred of the hog, or single horse or the stable.
And where the stable once stood there was
hole in the earth fifty feet deep and not more
than 200 feet in circumference There is gem
tleman in this city knowing to these facts.

In the ire-proof safe of the Presbyterian His
torical Society, 1929 Race street, there are kept
two interesting relics, which recall the suffer
lngs of the martyrs to Christ in past ages. One
OF these Is a large sword, with which, at o'clock
on Monday morning, the 2lst of June, 1921,
twenty seven confessorS of Christ were be-
headed in the Crosse Ring IN front of the Tien-
kirche, in Prague Amid the sound of drums
and trumpets, their heads were smitten off and
carried to the bridge, and there exhibited for
years to their pitiless foes
Early in this century, gentleman travelling
on the continent of Europe came upon an exc
cutioners sword with the names of twenty four
OF the twenty seven victims of this butchery en-
graved upon the blade
On the handle of the sword, together with the
statement in the Bohemian tongue that the deed
was done June 81, 1921, are the iniatials of the
executioner's name, &c. NJ" corresponding to c.

WASHINGTON SOCIETY.
The Wearing of 'sPants'' the Main Qualifica-

The Wearing of "Pants'' the Main Oualifica-
ton Required.
Correspondence ST. Louis Post Dispatch.
"Why, the children of the male sex in Washing
ton begin going in society at eighteen. They GO
every afternoon and evening. and far into the
night. The result is that the next evening they
feel heavy and stupid, and feel the need of some
thing to eniiven them. There is the punch bowl
1t is free; everybody else is taking it, it tastes
good, and promises to bring the enlivenment SO
much needed. So it is not to be wondered that
these irresponsible creatures, mere children,
drink it to excess. The only wonder is that
there are not more scenes like that at Stewart
Castle last week.
How is it that children are invited into So
ciety at this tender age!'
Because they wear pants. Anybody in
brooches, with any sort of address, can get into
society in Washington OF course any fellow
can get out, too. if he permits himself to GO to
such excuses. But the fact is that there is such
a scarcity of men in society here that anything
wearing bifurcated garments on the outside is
welcomed. l have known cases in which the
young men of the family have been invited to
entertainments and the young women left at
home. You see, the ladies do most of the social
business here. They make their calls in the
afternoon, and make list of acquaintance.
Then they are invited to the next entertainment
that the lady on whom they call gives. The
many more ladies than gentlemen
invited unless the hostess hustles round
and scrapes mp everything in the shape of men
she can md available. And it is so easy for
these young fellows with swallow tail coat
two shirts, pair of kid gloves and a crush hat
to get into society, Howl Why, just get some
body who has bowling acquaintance to take
you in on Mrs, Blanks calling day, and then
leave your card. That is all that is necessary
Or ifyou don't want to do that get some of your
lady acanain tances, when they go calling to take
a dozen or tweEty of your cards and leave one
with hers wherever she pays call, and the
thing is done. The invitations will come right
along and unless you have stolen something
small, or have actually been in the penitentiary,
il is all right as long rs you are sober enough
to walk straight keep out Of rows. and keep
awake"

shudder at the idea of their visiting public ball.
Yet the ball is the more exclusive, as anybody
can enter the rink by paying the small sum
line between young men and. girls in public
place, skating to music, and young men and girls
waltzingf In fact much of the skating is of the
nature of round dancing. Human nature is

recognizing that fact may be in the future fully
able TO realize the full value of the FIVE cents
