WILL BE PROSECUTED.
Promoters" of Endless Chain Schemes
to BE BrOuaht Into Court.

1t Is the intention of the police and prose-
cutting attorney to institute proceedings
against some of the promoters of the end
less chain schemes which are being oper-
ated in this city. Until the decision rem
dered by Judge Scott in a case before him
some weeks ago the police believed the pro-
moters were guilty of violation of the gift
enterprise law.
Since the decision referred to was rem
dered number of schemes of the endless
chain variety have started Under one Of
these plans twenty-five car tickets are OBJ
tained for 25 cents. Major Sylvester and
Inspector BoardmaR have consulted the
prosecuting attorney. The latter has not
yet concluded what action he will take, but
1t Is likely that prosecution will be in
stituted for alleged conspiracy or for an
alleged violation of the gaming law. This
will be done for the purpose of testing the
question of the validity of such business
enterprises.
District Attorney Anderson is out of the
city, and as soon as he returns, which VIII
be next week, he will determine the action
to be taken in the matter.

The cynical non-church attendant
finds in the new and approved method
of taking stock of souls a kind of in
voicing of celestial goods, and believes
that, just as recently published re-
ligious appeal took the novel form of
an insurance policy, with promise of
.low rates" and heavenly premiums"
SO all churches have come to adopt the
ways of the mercantile world. These
scoffers declare that salvation must be
bought by the pound, and that you
cannot get t1rst-class godliness without
paying first-class prices. But to count
the members of ones flock, to desire to
know the actual elements Of q con-
stituency, is certainly natural and de-
sirable, and no one will be disposed to
question the fact that church with
expenses and salaried minister must
be conducted on business principles. 1t
is perhaps the floating congregation,
the religious tramps, that give the COM
mercial air to n church. For these SO
often assume the attitude of the shop.
per, of one who is "sampling" or just
looking" and who, though pleased and
inspired, never chooses to become a
constant patron. These no doubt gain
much, and churches rs a rule are gen
erous and charitable to such nomads.
TO actually sift these from the perma-
nent elements would be a step towards
the comprehension Of the true attitude
of society towards the church, and
might lead to a better understanding
on both sides.

Reading Manusortnt..

1t would be a revelation to the
young writers who complain that every
word of their stories is not read, to see
how fast an experienced and conscien-
tious editor can, at times, go through
big pile of essays, stories or poems.
The title is often enough, and he would
say, Eve don't want an article on that
subject" The next article begins with
a page or two of commonplace intro
duction, and that is thrown aside in
half minutes inspection, without
turning more than the next page. The
next is written In the first person, and
peppered with "I's.," I'VE don't want
that egotistical stuff" The first verse
Of this poem has false meter and is
tossed aside. The next begins in school
girl style, with "dove" and "love;;" 1t is
not read through. OF the next the
editor reads ten lines. 1t is simply a
dull description of stream in forest

in fresh way. seems to be constructed

A Rh,noceros at Large.

A rhin0cerOs that can dance is not,
like dancing bear, familiar sight
Naturally such rhinoceros created a
sensation when, while being unloaded
from railroad car at Philadelphia, it
escaped into the street.
The beast was sent to the Geological
Garden and arrived in good health and
spirits. Twenty employees of the ex-
press company stood about to prevent
its getting away, but when the animal
started they all fed down Seventeenth
street.
The rhinoceros went to Market street,
the men after it, thence to Sixteenth
and back to Hilbert. In the short jour
ney it passed probably hundred peo-
pie, and put them all to fight. An Ital-
ian, grinding out n merry tune on his
organ, got shock that he will not soon
forget.
The beast has been. with circus
and can dance and do cake walk. At
Sixteenth and Filbert streets 1t heard
the sound of the music, and began to
dance.
The italian did not know what
brought the crowd, but he kept on turn
ing his crank until suddenly there was
roar Of laughter, and he turned to
find the beast standing still, solemnly
looking at him. With a terrific yell, he
dropped the crank and ran. The ami
NAL was caught and put back into the
cage with little difficulty.

vireinia's Natural Br,dee

The famous natural bridge of vir-
ginia is situated in Rockbridge County
and spans the mountain chasm in which
flows the little stream called Cedar
creek, the bed of which is more than
two hundred feet below the surface of
the plain. The middle OF the arch is
forty-five feet in perpendicular thick
ness, which Increases to sixty feet at
Its juncture with the vast abutments.
1t is sixty feet wide, and its span is
almost ninety feet. Across the top is
a public road. For many years the
name Of Washington, cut in the rock
forming one of the abutments when
the Father Of his Country was lad,
stood high above all others; but in 1918
a student Of Washington College, Vir-
ginia, Piper by name, climbed from the
foot to the top Of the rock, and placed
his name above that of Washington.

CARRIED OFF THE BRIDE.
Strange Misadventure that Befell
Chiueae Dau,oe1


The way of Oriental brides would
scarcely suit their Occidental sisters.
In China bride usually rides in a rich
ly embroidered red sedan chair, decor
ated with flowers, and hired for the
occasion.
Not long ago In Canton city a man
hired chair to carry his bride to his
homestead in the suburbs. The dis
tance was great and the hour late.
When the four chair coolies and the lam
tern bearers arrived at their destina-
ton the chair containing the bride was
deposited outside the doorway to await
the suspicious hour selected for open
ing the door to admit the bride and the
coolies adjourned to an opium den; and,
as they had Travelled long way and
were tired, they soon fell asleep. How
long they d0zed they knew not, but on
awakening they returned and found
the bridal chair outside the doorway.
They came to the not unnatural conclu-
sion that the bride had already entered
the household and that the chair was
left there for them to take back to the
city. Since they had all received their
pay in advance they did not stop to
mako further inquiries. but hurried
home with the chair. put it in loft.
and, rolling themselves up in their beds,
slept the sleep of the just. In the
meantime the bridegroom heard the
bridal party arrive, but had to await
the stroke of the suspicious hour before
welcoming the bride. AT last the can
dies were lit, incense sticks were light
ed, the new rice and viands for enter
tanning the bride were served, the
parents-in-law put on their best suits
and so did the bridegroom and, with
much pomp and ceremony, the door
was thrown wide open; but as far as
the lanterns light would reach, 10!
there was not trace of the bridal
chair or bride, nor single soul to be
seen. Great was their CONSERVATION,
and 1t became greater still as they con-
Guided that bandits must have kid
naped the bride and would hold her for
ransom. The district officer was
aroused, the case was reported to the
village justice of the peace and search
parties were sent out in every direction.
The bridegroom, though distracted, had

An Eastern journal, devoted to n.y.
giene and physical culture, highly rec
ommends peanuts as school luncheon
for boys and girls. 1t sets forth their
great value as food, being both whole
some and nutritious, and also good for
the blood, when properly masticated.
In addition to these properties, unlike
other nuts, they may be eaten at the
end of a hearty meal without overtay-
ing digestion. The attachment between
the child and the plebeian peanut has
long been notorious and now that a
health journal has recommended 1t for
the school lunch there will undoubtedly
be speedy clamor in every household
fol-, its liberal provision, and the school
houses of the land will be pervadetl
with Its decided odor. Just at this
time, however, comes the depressing
news that the peanut crop is short, and
prices are rapidly advancing. 1t is not
unlikely when the news of its health-
fulness gets abroad that peanut trust
will be formed and the unassuming
ground nut will soon be such an object
of luxury that It's use may be confined
to the attendants Of the fashionable and
wealthy private schools.

seedin this regard, and to look upon flu
ency of speech as il it were oratory."
Gifts of speech could never attain to
their real momentum and power until
founded upon a substratum of care
fully acquired knowledge and upon
solid argument. The opinion of the
Lord Chief Justice is that of most men
who have considered the subject. The
art of oratorlcal flights is, in the opin-
ion of the Chicago Tribune, less prac-
ticed, not so much because men are
less able to make such speeches, but
because they have lost their value.
They are of slight use before juries and
Of no use with judges. There is pop
ular disposition to distrust the man
who makes too great a display of his
gifts of speech when he makes an adj
dress. The public, being more en-.
llghtened, has come to weigh argu-
ments more carefully. When the ora
tor is able to appeal to the passion Of
the moment he is sometimes infuen-
tial, but there his power ends. This is
why the leaders of the bar to-day are
not great orators but rather men with
the carefully acquired knowledge
which they are able to present logically
to the Judge or jury they would con-
vince.
