He is butcher in the employ of F.

| Mr. Miller acted as his own press
agent, and his extravagant claims irri-
tated his associates in the shop.
They hunted for some man with an

him, and found a willing and anxious
competitor in Sam Bromley, a teamster
in the same employ
Mr.. Bromley had never figured in the
gastronomic arena, but he was pos
sessed of an appetite which was what
sailor men call 'out of soundings," and
was exceedingly unpopular with his
boardlady.

Colonel Wertheimer was chosen ref

The event was divided into rounds of
six eggs each.
Miller led off with a scramble and
Bromley ordered his six soft boiled.
Miller changed his order at every
round, ranging from absolutely raw to
medium boiled.
Bromley confined himself to soft
boiled, which were taken in a long, hard
drink out of a cup.
At the end of the third dozen a con-
fident albuminOus smile was displayed
on both countenances.
Between rounds Bromley chewed
bread and salt and Miller slipped cof-
fee
Excitement increased until the con-
testants had scored five and half dozen
each, when Bromley went sick and
failed to pass his plate for more.
Miller was fresh, and claimed to be
good for ten dozen on top of his five and
one-haf. He was declared the winner.

The Secretary of the Treasury Gives His
Views ON the Presidency.

ter on the subject of his candidacy for
the presidential nomination at the
Chicago convention:
WASHINGTON. D. c, April 4. 1925
Charles R Long, Chairman Democratic State
Central Committee. Ky.
Dear Sir: Your favor OF March 81. in which
you say in substance that many OF my friends
in Kentucky and elsewhere desire me to be-
come a candidate before the approaching ma
tonal democratic convention for nomination
to the ONCE OF president, and requesting me
TO give some authoritative definite express
ion upon the subject has been materially con-
sidered
Many communications upon the same subject
and similar import have been received from
friends in different parts OF the country, and
while very grateful Tor these numerous ex-
pressions OF confidence aud esteem upon the
part of my democratic fellow citizens. have
not been able to reach the conclusion that the
existing conditions require to comply with
their requests by authorizing them to
uounce me g candidate for the presidential
nomination. =
While feel profound interest in the well
fare Of my party, am much more corcerned
about its declaration OF principles than its
selection OF candidates. because. in my opinion,
its failure or success at the election. as well as
Its capacity for useful service in the country
takes omits 20 take upon the public Ques-
tions now engaging the attention OF the people.
and especially the questions affecting the
monetary system OF the country and the char
acter and amount of taxation TO be imposed
upon our citizens It's position upon these and
other subjects having been agreed upon, anG
clearly and distinctly announced, the conven-
ton ought 10 have difficulty In selecting an
acceptable candidate who will fairly repre-
sent its views, and in order that its delibera-
lions may be embarrassed as little as possible
by the contentious OF rival aSpirants SD their
friends, 1 think duty to the party will be
best performed by declining to participate in
a contest for the nomination
The obligations assumed when accepted my
present Official position require me TO devote
my entire time and attention to the public in
terests committed to my charge. and shall
continue to discharge the duties imposed upon
me to the best OF my ability, and in such man
ner Will. in my Judgment, most certainly
promote the true interest OF the country: and
it, in the opinion of my fellow democrats of
Kentucky. my services entitle to their COM
mendation and approval, would regard their
Endorsement of my public course ample
reward for the little I have been able to

and a sound financial policy.

afternoon in Clark street dime

two small theaters in the building
were entertaining audiences of more
than the usual proportion, at least l.
600 persons, who occupied every avail
able inch OF space, being present. The
audiences at once made a rush for the
door and for time pandemonium
reigned. The widest confusion pre-
vailed among the freaks and perform
ers, but all escaped without injury.

third floor the collection of huge
snakes was on exhibition. Among
this collection was boa constructor &c

er had charge of the reptiles, and
when the fire broke out she attempted
to place them in box. Calling for
assistance, a stranger elm bed into the
cage and offered to help capture the
snakes He picked the largest one up
by the neck and no sooner had he done
so than the snake, recognizing it was
in the hands of a stranger, coiled its
huge form about the mans arm. The
snake charmer, realizing the mans
danger, told him to keep firm grip
on the snakes neck. A terrific struggle
then ensued, but by the com bined eff
forts of the fair snake charmer and the
obliging stranger, the boa constructor
was finally jammed into box and Sc

who has not some claims to beauty.
Good health and physical vigor are the
only real secrets of genuine beauty
Healthful exercise, not severe nor
excessive training, brings into play all
of the muscles of the body, while it
does not fail TO give an impetus to the
blood that it seldom gets otherwise.
Both of these results can hardly fail
TO be healthf,l. The warm, bright
color that comes to the cheeks is sign
OF health. The hearty appetite that is
engendered by brisk run before din
