Cot Some Of HIs own MedleIne.

John w. Yerkes, commissioner of
internal revenue, is telling a good
story on himself. Like many Ken
tucl1ians, Commissioner Yerkes some
times chews tobacco. Shortly after
the PRONUNCIATION, by his own order,
Oh the rule that all tobacco must be
kept in the original boxes until it is
sold, he went into a store in Wash
ington and asked for a piece of his
favorite brand. The clerk handed it
to him, and as he tried to cut off a
mouthful 1t crumbled into dust.
What is this that you're giving
me-" he asbed, "punk?"
1T is pretty dry replied the clerk;
but we can't help it. We used to be
able to take few pieces out and keep
them in a moistening box, but some
darned fool up in the internal revenue
office decided that that was Illegal,
and we can't do 1t any more. Beats

both Mr. and Mrs. Simon Wolf Mr..
Leon Block left that evening for his
home, where important professional
matters awaited him. AT As Mr.. Wolf
repaired to Temple Emanuel, where, in
the absence Of Rabbi Friedman, he de-
livered the lecture of the evening. Again
he stirred the audience present. which
was unusually large even for such an
OCCASION to the height of enthusiasm,
and it was difficult for him to leave for
his hotel because of the numbers who
crowded around him.
On Saturday morning Mr.. Wolf at
tended the services at the synagogue
Beth Midrash Hagodol, and in deliver
ing a lecture made an eloquent appeal
for the unifcation of Judaism He sc
inspired his hearers that even the sacred
edifice and the solemn occasion could not
restrain a burst of applause which
greeted his conclusion.
At II o'clock, an inspection of the
National Jewish Hospital for Consump-
tives was made by Mr. and Mrs Wolf.
The arrangements, means of protection
against infection, it's general sanitary
provisions, the care Of the inmates, and
the appearance and condition of the pa
tients made strong impression upon
the visitors. At the dinner which fol-
lowed at clock, given in honor of the
guests by the Board Of Managers Of the
Hospital and their wives, and the Enter
tainment Committee of Denver Lodge
No. III |. O. B. B. Mr.. Wolf, gave eX-.
preston to the effect which the inStitu-
ton had upon him. How he marvelled
at its completeness in detail and the re-
suits it had achieved during it's brief
career, and reiterated the promise pre-
viously made that he would, to the ut
most of his power support the institu
ton and it's needs and speak for it in
the Constitutional Grand Lodge, which
convenes next year in New Orleans, and
wherever his voice could be heard.
At 3 o'clock Mr.. Wolf took occasion
to address the patients, who assembled
to hear him in front Of the Guggenheim
pavilion. and gave them many cheering
words Of counsel and hope. AT the con-
clusion of Mr.. VOLTS remarks, a tele-
gram was read from the president Of
the hospital, Mr.. Grabfelder, of Louis
vile, in which Mr.. Grabfelder expressed
his regret at being unable to be present
on this memorable occasion and begged
God speed and blessing on the work OF
the honored guest and spoke of his in
terest in and for the institution.
A reception was then held for Mr..
and Mrs. Wolf, at which the patients
and many visitors greeted him heartily.

roof while he was speaking from the
steps of the Guggenheim pavilion. An
incident occurred at that time which
shows not only the love for the emblem
of his country but also the ready wit OF
which Mr. Wolf is possessed. During
his speaking, a gust of wind tore down
one of the flags hanging over him. He
turned and seeing what had occurred,
quickly said ''The wind may do what
allow no human being to do-pull down
the American flag"
At clock in the evening, as a fit
ting climax to glorious occasion, dim
ner was given at the house of Mr. and
Mrs. Joseph II. Harrison in honor Of the
distinguished visitors, at which attended
the officers of Denver Lodge No. III and
it's delegates to the Grand Lodge, as well
as the officers and trustees Of Temple
Emanuel and Beth Midrash Hagodol.
The farewells there uttered in recogni-
ton of Mr. VOLTS approaching depar-
ture were fitting and pathetic, espe-
cially that of the youthful president OF
Denver lodge, William l.. Hahn, who
touchingly and feelingly gave utterance
to the inspiration he had received from
the presence and words of our venerable
president. At the conclusion OF his re-
marks he handed Brother Wolf a beauti-
full little loving cup, appropriately en-
graved, as a personal token of his re-
spect and as a souvenir OF Brother
VOLTS visit The response Of Mr.. Wolf
was in his usual happy style and be-
fitting the occasion. He stated, among
other things, that while he had had
many loving cups given him on numer-
Gus occasions, compared to which in size
this was insignificant. yet in heart value
and in that which it represented spirit
ually it should be to him greater than all
others he had ever received. He ex-
pressed his gratitude at the reception
he had received and the entertainment
that had been furnished him by the citi-
zens of Denver, and said that he felt
impelled to recognize that, while much
Of it was due to his office and the posi-
tion he occupied, the spontanaiety was
tribute personal to himself and to the
work he had done in behalf of humanity.
On Sunday morning the guests, with
the entertainment committee OF the
Denver lodge, left Denver to take the
trip over the Short Line to Cripple
Greek and visit that camp and Cripple
RADIO Springs Lodge. At Colorado
Springs where stop Of fifteen minutes
was had, committee from the Colorado
Springs Lodge greeted Mr.. and Mrs:
Wolf, and by their attention showed
