HE SCORES THE PRESS
Ex.Speaker Adams Fails to Sense Joke

an Evil.


Grand Rapids, Mich, June 10. -
Toastmaster William Alden Smith, at
the Pythian banquet in a joking man
ner called upon ex-Speaker Adams to
explain or deny his attack upon the

part, which was harmless, the sensa-
lonal part, the record Of crimes, di-
vorces, etc, which was simply vicious,
and the want ad." part. The banquet
was the largest and best ever given
by the Pythians. 1t was held in hon

Hayes Was Funny Even When Young.

Thomas Gordon Hayes, mayor Of
Baltimore, recently promised to get
married if his fellow-citizens reelected
him.
Mayor Hayes is bachelor of SO, a
graduate of the Virginia military insti-
tute, and something of wit. A
friend of his boyhood, John Stewart of
Milwaukee, says that even as a lad
young Hayes was witty.
"Once, at the military school," said
Mr.. Stewart the other day, "a bache-
lor was iecturing on Irish history. His
subject was Cork. Any of you ever
been in Cork? he asked.
Most of us shook our heads. But
Hayes spoke up and said:
81 have never been to Cork, but I
have seen drawings of it.
"And then he gave loud 'plop' like
the sound of the opening of cham
payne bottle Boston Post.

To Be Really Realistic.

'This," said the dramatist, who was
celebrating the scenario of his new
play to the manager, lis to be a real
istic society drama. The heroine
makes thrilling entrance in an auto"
what does she do then?" asked the
mana ger.
"Why, of course she meets the hero
and the villain and the soubrette and
the rest, and the play goes on to the
usual happy ending"
well, you start realistic enough,
but you weaken on your finish'
"How's that?" asked the puzzled
playwright.
If she's going to come in on an
auto she and few of the rest ought
to make their exit in an ambulance"
