DrnEstores Old and New,

Sometimes it seems as if drugstores
have everything except drugs. The
middle aged man or woman remembers
when the apothecary shop had a dis.
tinctiye smell of drugs and chemicals.
Nothing was in sight but jars Of Won
drously colored liquids and powders,
crystals and sticks and drawers OF GU
rious things with Latin labels. The
only thing that was at all attractive
for the women was the case Of fancy
soaps and perfumes, with face powders
and cosmetics, and for the men the case
of cigars. The soda fountain made the
first innovation. 1t was no such preten-
tious affair as now dominates the cor
ner drugstore however. 1t stood mod
estly on one end Of the counter There
were five or six kinds Of sirups and no
ice cream or hot drinks Later candy
found a place in the apothecarys, then
came stationery, and now there are all
sorts of bric-a-brac.-New York Press.

"The Great Unknown"

For thirteen years the author OF
"Waverley" was unknown. Indeed the
country spoke of him as "the great un-
known" a pseudonym Sir Walter
Scott often employed in writing. But
on Feb. %, 1927, Sir Walter gave din
ner party TO which, among others, Lord
Meadowbank, the judicial magnate,
who Glanced to know his hosts secret,
was invited. Then when the toasts
were being drunk Meadowbank, with
Scott's permission, got up and proposed
the health of ''rhe great unknown, Sir
Walter Scott" The effect was magical.
and the news spread through the coun-
try like widhre. Indeed that dinner
and the secret it disclosed was the
most talked of event of the year,

VALPARAISO AMUSEMENT.
sunday Is the Great Gala Day For
Rich and Poor Alike.


All around the edge Of Valparaiso
bay Is a string Of little towns 50 close
together that you cannot readily dis
cover where one leaves off and the
next begins. The most pretentious OF
these is Vina del Mar, which is n very
popular seaside resort During the
summer season, from December to
February, it is a gay place A short
distance from the town is the "cancha,"
or race track, in connection with which
are golf links, cricket and polo
grounds all managed by the English
sporting clubs. The polo matches and
the races are over by the LIST of Decem-
Der, but cricket, golf and tennis go on
all summer. Tennis tournaments are
held, lasting for several weeks Most
of these sports, with the exception of
tennis, which goes on all the time,
take place on Sunday. Sunday is the
great gala day, when all the popula-
ton, rich and poor alike, turn out to
have a good time.
The common people find their holi-
day sport in getting gloriously drunk.
II you walk along the street on Sun
day afternoon, you must not be sur
prised TO meet every few minutes IN
dividuals decidedly unsteady on their
feet The little wineshops do n rush
ing business and there is always a
large crowd about the door watching
and loudly applauding the dancing of
the "cueca," which goes on all day.
This is a sort of national dance, per-
formed to the accompaniment of the
guitar. The dance is quaint and rath.
er pretty il the dancers are sober, but
in its ordinary environment it is far
from inviting.
During a good season at Vina del
Mar one has an excellent opportunity
of seeing the aristocratic Chileans of
Santiago. In January Santiago is very
warm, and the society people come
down to the coast during the hot
weather The ladies are many of
them quite handsome. They all dress
gorgeously and have very bad man
ners. They stroll along the hotel piaz-
"a, and If they see anything that
arouses their curiosity in any of the
rooms they stop and look on serenely,
regardless of the occupant. They
never make their appearance until 10
or IL o'clock in the morning, when
they go down to the beach for morn
ing dip. After the IL o'clock break
fast they disappear until o'clock,
when they all come out in gowns that
would rival Solomon in all his glory
They either drive on the beach and
trail their skirts and embroidered chif-
fons through the sand or stroll up and
down the long platform of the railroad
station, watching the trains pass
These exciting diversions occupy them
until dinner. Sometimes there are
dances In the evening-dances called so
only by courtesy, for they rarely
dance; they only walk around and ex-
hibit their gOwns.-Indianapoli News

The Game OF DANES.

or golftes there are many;
At tennis many play:
Pingpong has friends by legions.
And some still try croquct.
But when Il comes 20 pastimes
The greatest Of them all
In city and In country
Is just good old baseball.
It's played throughout the city
on every vacant lot.
And merrly the urchins
The ball with vigor swat.
The pitchers embryotic
Are training on the streets.
And catchers are amazing
All watchers by their feats.
It's played throughout the country
Where farming lads abound.
And there. as in the city
The ball Is knocked around.
In every crossroads village.
No difference how small
There's found a team upholding
The honor OF baseball
In city and In country
When rooters congregate
The all absorbing topic
Is baseball up to date.
They gather at the corner.
They gather In the store.
And hours they spend discussing
The features Of the score.
So while a lot Of pastimes
Will now and then engage
Attention there Is only
one game that's all the rage.
There may be grouchy fellows
Advancing foolish claims.
But when 10 comes 20 pleasure
Baseballs the game Of games.
