 AND HOTEL LOBBIES

VT saw strange incident ghse other day. said R. L. AIoIntazh. a Tennessee diTntner. ''Is was in a l1a 1s Tennessee town and the incident co-eefned two people prominent in different ways. The lives of beth men lhave been widely ssv- cred, bur this time they came eagether on the same platform. The contrast was that one of the men manufactured 9quor and the ether was supposed to grlrd out sermons.

The second man qieferrsd to is Thomas F. Gaiior Episcopal Bishop of sscwanee University.

 "The piollibitionst threw up. h.s hands sp horror. I'll die first he said N Nonsense, said tine doctor; If you don't want 10 take frequent drinks just take Apne every dime you shave, and I tfiHk yRu will feel much better in a few days. Gaod-bye. I will call again to- ns0rruu toh. see how you ane.'
