deal of the labors and duties of his

he has paid as layishly as did Count
Boni de Castellane for similar amuse-
ment in Paris. A few weeks ago, for
instance, Mr.. Barnes gave to a few
fOOtIight favorites a small breakfast
for which he cheerfully paid Sl,500.
Another Of Mr.. Barnes foibles is
the hiring of automobiles. He began
TO indulge in that pastime by engag-
ing an auto by the hour. He kept the
machine one year, paying for it a
little more than $72 each day
Mr.. Barnes said he bought the Hotel
Rand because he was dissatisfied with
the way hotels are run in New York

THE MAN IN THE MOON.
One Of the Greatest and Most Ancient
of Superstittons.

In our infancy there was pointed out
10 us the mysterious man in the moon,
who looks solemnly down from his
perch in the sky. No doubt we have
made many a childish speculation con
cerning this grave parsonage, who has
been watching the successive genera
tions on the earth come and so for
centuries. and wondered how he came
TO be away up there in the moon so
many miles from us.
Well, he was sent there because he
was a naughty fellow a wicked man,
who picked up some sticks that did not
belong to him on Sunday The first
mention of this is in the Bible, where
ii is told that a certain individual was
put TO death for such a proceeding.
From this Bible story originated one
of the greatest and most ancient super
stitions that Of the man in the moon.
The man in the moon Is known to
every nation, and is pictured as lean
ing on a fork on which he carries a
bundle of thorns or brushwoOd, which
he was caught stealing on the Sabbath
day, and as a punishment he was CON
fined in the moon The dark lines and
spots which compose the features OF
this traditional man are in reality the
shadows of lunar mountains on the
moon

HOTELS PREPARED FOR
HOT SUMMER WEATHER

These preparations include covering
all the heavy furniture In the sleeping
rooms and private parlors with thin
stuffs to make them look as cool as
possible; the taking down of thick
curtains and putting up thin ones;
and often of putting willow furniture
in some of the best rooms where the
prices warrant such an extensive
change. In all Of the public rooms
of the apartment hotels the hangings
are covered with linen, if they are
not removed entirely the chairs and
sofas are also fitted with gayly col.
ored cretonnes and as a final touch
even the piano is shrouded with a
covering so that no one can possibly
add TO the nervous strain Of the hot
weather by playing on it.

would be a great lark to spend a few

You see, the fellow was guilty, and
/ knew it. l didn't see how it would
be possible to clear him, and l knew
he would ct a lighter sentence by
pleading guilty. But l had a job try
Ing to talk him into changing his plea
to guilty. He said he didn't think he
would ever get reconcilcd to life in
the penitentiary.

was a certain amount of prejudice
against living in a penitentiary, but
that it always struck me that it
wouldn't be half bad if a man went

GLOVER OPPOSES
 STATE PROHIBITION
Subject Was ThraShed Out at
 Last Session
STANDS BY LOCAL OPTION
Since Adjournment of the Legislature He Has Seen No Material Change of Sentiment Among Mem
 bers on the Subject.

Tt seems to me that the last session of the legislature fully settled it's work on the subject of prohibition said John T. Glover, member from Jefferson. ''l agreed that the matter should go to the local option idea, and l was among the voters who advocated or endorsed that line of action.
 NOW. | am asked if l will cast my vote in any special or called meeting of the legislature for bill providing for prohibition in the whole state; also if I will petition the governor to include in his call for the proposed session the sub jeet of statutory prohibition!
 My answer is simply this: As a mem Der of the legislature. I will not vote for a bill providing for state prohibition and. consequently, will not petition the gov ernor to include in any call which he may make for a special or extraordinary session of the legislature the subject of statutory prohibition if you mean by that term state prohibition I do not be- lieve that state prohibition is the solu- tion of the liquor question or that it tends to its solution.
 For sufficient reasons. which it Is not necessary here to recount, the advoca tes of temperance in the present legislature tof which l am one), at the last session of that body, opposed and encompas assed the defeat of a state prohibition bill. The same reasons which obtained at that session for opposing a state prohibition bill exist now, and, since the azjsurn- ment of the legislature, I have heard of no material change of sentiment among the members on the subject
