JOHNNY JONES"
CONSISTS MOSTLY
OF SCENIC EFFECTS

Unique scenic effects and some
beautifully costumed women were
the striking features of Little
Johnnie Jones" at the Spokane last
night. Good looks were not in evil
dence in the chorus and good voices
were as scarce as the proverbial
hens teeth. Some of the airs are
catchy and undoubtedly some of the
songs would be good if there were
voices to sing them.
However, the olNra is we'll staged
and some unusual mechanical and
electrical effects seemed to greatly
please the audience. The dances
and drills by the chorus were I'M
usually bright and active and were
made remarkably effective by
scenic manipulations.
Tom Lewis, as the unknown, re-
ceived the greatest appreciation at
the audiences hands. Barry as
Jockey Jones, Ryan as Timothy
MCGEE and Stella Tracey in her
triple role devided the remtning
favors.

THE COCAINE HABIT.

A well dressed young man, coat
collar turned up tightly around his
throat and hat drawn down over
his bleared eyes, staggered into a
brilliantly lighted drug store and
leaned heavily against the counter
A clerk stepped forward and ask
ed for the order. The young man
drew a handkerchief from his peck
ct, coughed, sneezed and then ask
ed for an alleged catarrh cure,
which is two-thirds cocaine.
The clerk smiled cynically, pass
ed small package into the GUS
toners hand and rang up 10 cents
on the cash register. The young
man tore open the package, shifted
into his nostrials a large pinch of
white powder, sneezed again and
laughing Historically, zigzagged
his way out into the dark street.
THAT is one of the things that
the devil is up to-" said the drug
clerk. THAT fellow is a dope fiend.
He comes here on an average of
five times a day after that stuff.
Toward morning he will be in the
throes of the horrible morbid after
math of cocaine poisoning. His
next place will be the river or
psycopathic ward"
Physicians declare that the
drug habit was never so common
as it is today. The use of cocaine
the devil makes easy. One drug
sist said that he believed that no
less than 10000 men and women in
New York alone obtained the in

size, being too large and too dark
looking. Small men really make
the better detectives-they are
quicker, less CONSPICUOUS in sha-
downing, and less in harmony with
the general idea of a detective,
which is that he is a big, broad
shouldered fellow, with square-toed
shoes and all that. A small, smooth
faced, jolly sort of a chap has a
most decided advantage.
l know one man, Bob Cushing by
name, who located in a southern
city, who has the same round,
chubby, boyish face he had when
first knew him, six or seven years
ago, when We were connected with
detective bureau in Cleveland.
Apropos, speaking of Bob Cush-
ing, the idea of using a telephone
to make a taciturn subject speak,
is, l believe, original with this I'M
commonly resourceful detective
friend of mine.
A man who had been born and
| raised way back in the hills where
neither telephone nor telegraph
was known, was brought in on a
charge of horse stealing, but the
evidence against him was not very
strong. Bob had him in his office
and cautioned him that If he did
not tell the truth the information
would come against him through
the instrument On the wall, at
which the man laughed and said
that he was not such fool as he
perhaps looked. Whereupon the
detective rung up the chiefs office
and by a preconcerted signal, the
suspected thefts of the prisoner
were called through the phone in
very gruff, uncanny voice.
The detective placed the phone
firmly against the prisoners ear,
and his establishment when he
heard his thefts narrated. one by
one, was ludicrous in the extreme.
1t was his innate superstition that
proved his ruin. That voice, as if
from the spirits of the air, was too
much for his nerve. He admitted
his guilt, gave information that led
to the recovery of most of the stol-
en- horses, and, ~is disgust at being
Informed how he had been tricked,
can readily be imagined.
