CHAMP CLARK
PAIRED WITH

WASHINGTON, Jan. 16.-Jim
English, the veteran and popular
pairing clerk in the House of Rep
resentatives, turned loose some Of
his California wit on Representa-
tive Champ Clark, of Missouri, the
other day.
Just after his great speech on
the tariff, Representative Clark
was leaving Washington for a few
days. He thought some important
matter might come up and so asked
English to pair him.
Pair me with some one" re-
quested he. "Why not with Nick
Longworth ?"
Cant do that" replied English.
"Nick's already paired"
The announcement of the White
House wedding was fresh in
Clark's memory. He bowed to the
Californian, but said no more about
pairing, except to ask English If
he arranged the pair for Long
worth.

WHEN WEST WENT Stunning

Hi West, who came on from Bur-
lington to join the Maps late last
season, made his first visit to New
York while the team was on its
last eastern trip. The many stories
he had heard abotu the slums of
Gotham made him curious, and he
suggested trip to the Italian quar-
ter.
A walk across the Brooklyn
bridge and a ride on one of the
wheeling ferry boats preceded the
stunning tour Hi was not inn

The thousands of lights that flick.
cred in the harbor and the myriads
of piping tugs did not even arouse
his curiosity. He expected to see
such sights.
But when he reached one of the
streets of the Italian quarter Won
der shone in his eyes. 1t was a gala
night and thousands thronged the
streets. Hundreds of little shavers
in rags played on the pavements,
while fond parents by the score
poked their heads out of the win
dows of the tenements.
West looked about him carefully
as hesauntered up the street. The
rough-looking, shabbily dressed
multitude was new to him. The lit
tie country village in Illinois held
no sights like these. A score of
little fellows dragging an immense
mix can with fire kindled in it
rushed past him and almost
knocked him over. 1t was all very

Willie Hoppe, the boy wonder
billiard player of the United States,
snatched the championship honors
from Maurice Vignaux last night
in Paris. Hoppe beat Vignaux 1T
points in a 500 point game. The
game was played at 10 inch balk-

Vignaux has held the worlds

with the best run ever made at

Although Hoppe is not credited

Whose hand mixed the fatal
draught that brought death to
aged Frederick Schaefer and al
most cost the life of his girl bride?
Was it the slender white hand
of a woman or the clumsier
fingers of a revengeful man?
A simple German girl, just %,
with innocent hazel eyes and a

mans wife - is the only living
soul who can tell anything about
the crime. Her past sad history
and her awful, dreamless sleep be-
side the dead have made this
young girl marked figure.
Suspicion has pointed strongly
at her as the one who would bene-
fit most by the old mans death.
He was known to have made a will
leaving everything to her.
She knows this, and fears the
revenge of her dead husbands rela-
tives. Not a morsel of food except
that prepared by her own relatives
has passed her lips since that fate

burden. She dare not venture on

but beautiful peasant girl.
Schaefer dazzled the poor cob
bier with tales of American gold
and Meintel deserted his sweet
heart to wed Schaefer's niece.
Just before the party sailed for
America, Schaefer saw Meintels
discarded sweetheart in a church,
where she had gone to pray for
strength to bear her sorrow.
All the way across the ocean that
sad, sweet face, with its youthful
beauty, haunted the old man. He
came to hate Meinters handsome
face.
He built a beautiful home in Par
kersburg and gave it to his niece,
Meintel's wife. He started Meintel
in the grocery business to get him
out of his sight-still the face of
the pretty German peasant came
between him and the man he had
bought for his niece-as he would
have purchased any other thing she
asked for.
Then came bitter quarrel with
the Meintels. He drove them from
his home and demanded that Mem
tel repay every cent he had put in
the grocery store.
Meintel refused to pay and angry
words passed between the two men.
A few weeks later pretty Mary
Rapp, then only 20. reached Par
kersburg. the affianced bride of
