George AIDES Turkey.

George AIDE, on his last European trip,
spent a good deal of his time in the Amer
ika's smoking room, but, as mis- wont is he
was very quiet.
The humorists of the smoking room clus-
tered about Mr.. AIDE night after night
They told him all their latest stories. They
did their best to shine before the famous
young man.
One evening toward the end of the voy-
age they begged Mr.. AIDE to tell story in
his turn.
I'VE have done our best to amuse you,''
said a western millionaire. I'VE have
given you many a yarn that will come in
useful when you get on your next book.
Now it's your turn. Fire away"
Mr.. AIDE pondered a moment Then he
said:
II can't tell you a story, gentlemen. but
I'll ask you conundrum. What l. the diff
ference between me and turkey?"
Everybody gave the conundrum up.

key" said Mr.. AIDE slowly, lis that the tur-

COMMERCIAL MEMS SMOKER.
Representative Hughes Of West Vir-
einia Guest of the Council.

A feature of the meeting of Flagg Coun-
ill, No. 256, United Commercial Travellers
of America, held at Pythian Temple last
evening. was a smoker, at which Repre-
sentative James A. Hughes OF the hfth
district of West Virginia was a guest OF
honor as was also Prof. L. F. Kebler of
the chemistry division of the Department
of Agriculture. The former is a member
of the U. C. T.. and he delivered an ad-
dress on matters of special interest to the
commercial men.
Prof Kebler gave a most interesting talk
on the pure food law. and recounted In an
entertaining style the many varied ex-
periences of his office with the manufac-
turers Of the country. He went into de-
tails as to the character of many of the
food products and proprietary medicines
submitted for examination under the pro-
visions of the new law which went into eff
feet January 1 last. Many of the points
brought out in his remarks were APPLY
illustrated by clever stories, and he gave
descriptions of good results of the law
already attained. Some of his revelations
as to the formulate used in the preparation
of patent medicines evoked the greatest In
terest of his auditors. and he was the re-
cipient of hearty applause on the compile
ton of his remarks. He said that a great
check had already been made on the habit
making properties-cocaine, morphine and
opium-which had heretofore entered SO
largely into the manufacture of many pro-
prfetary medicines and cure-alls.
Mr.. Thomas ]. Trodden, jr., entertained
the company with some very clever mono
logue and grotesque dancing. Flagg Coun-
Gil is the only body of the U. c. T. in the
city, and its membership numbers about
sixty. Last night three candidates were
elected.
The following is the roster of council
officers for the ensuing year: r. s. Bowie,
senior counselor; l.. A. Roberts, junior
counselor; T. V. Smith, OBSERVATION-DISCLOSURES;
j. F. Sexton, past counselor; W. A. Ross,
conductor: Albert Triplett. page; ]. c. An
derson. sentinel: B. N. Mundell, representa-
tive to the Grand Lodge.

teners. Those who had worked all week
were pretty sleepy, but as they were in
for nearly all night anyway, with the
winding up of affairs ahead of them, they
made the best of it and let things take
their course.
The work of dismantling the two floors
of the garage after the doors We're finally
closed went on all night. Mr.. Washington
sent out for midnight meal and took up
his station where he could direct the ma
neuvering of the cars into position for a
quick removal in the morning.
A pleasing feature of the show was that
persons who had been to see the exhibits
several times during the week were again
on hand last night and eager to learn more
of the various machines. The automobile
world has pronounced the show a success
in every way and looks forward with no
little interest and anticipation to the prom
Used larger affair of next winter.

Time for Summing-Up.
Last night was the tlme LOT summing up
and speaking in generalities. The man
ayers of the show were very willing to do
that for, they said, 1t could only bring to
light the full measure of the success of the
enterprise.
While. of course, it has been impossible to
figure with any great degree of accuracy on
the exact quantity of business transacted
as direct result of the holding of the
show still a general idea has been reached
through careful inquiries and estimates. 1t
is safe to say that more than half a mil
lion dollars must be reckoned with before
the volume of business is properly esti
mated considerable proportion of the
amount is to be found in prospective deals.
which there is every reason to believe will
he consummated as a result of the holding
of the show. Experience has taught that
the methods of the men who have esti
mated half a million dollars and more as
the amount of the sales are safe and
sound.
During the show as many as seventy
eight different machines were on exhibition,
and their aggregate valuation was about
$50 Goo exclusive of supplies of various
sorts.
1t was after II o'clock last night when
the last visitor reluctantly left the garage.
The time set for the closing of the exhibit
of seven days was at IL O'Clock, but Mr..
Washington decided not to hurry anybody
away.
