Last Tuesday evening was celebrated tile

Seemed like one OF the seven pillars of

but the departure OF DeWolf crushes a
last hope.

This reminds me of MuIdoon's Wrestler
10 Joe Haworihs Orlando. Poor OrIap-
doi Muldoon calmly turned him over and
stoed him on his head. Then he turned
him back again and set him down gently
In sitting posture, apparently trying to
decide what he should do with him next.
Orlando could not offer any suggestion,
so Mtfdoon pitched him up, and twisted
him, and swiped him, and threw him down,
and made a piDwheel of him and tucked
him under his arm like a paper parcel
and tied him around his necl, Ikea crayat.
and shook him ut arms length like bag
of peanuts, and opened his mouth as If he.

Ina loud whisper. Let Orlando throw you!
Let him throw your Great snakes,

Mnldoon gave convulsive shudder that
knocked Haworth almost OFF his feet. and
then slowly settled down, much to Orlan-
dos relief. Four suDers carried the dead
wrestler away. and he braced himself
stiff. so that his two heels rested on the
shoulders or the men in front and his neck
on thOse-0f the two behind, while the same
sfhilc rested on his dead face
that had been there Throughout his struggle
with Orlando. The audience never sus-
nocted anvthing unusual, but Muidoon told
nae afterwarl t,Iat he had never had more
fun in his life. lyon had it all to vour-
