OF the Headlight launched fourth
in last weeks issue Of that noble
and enlightening periodical, in a
desultory and disjointed article
on his honor, Judge Cooke Chap
man, because, forsooth, the hon
orable and honored servant of the
people had dared to embellish an
intelligent and sensible adver-
tisement of an honorable and
legitimate business with a wood
cut" of a face that has been
made famous to the inhabitants
of this neck of the plains under
the soubriquet of "Arbuckle."
1t seems that the doughty
subscriber, in looking over the
columns of THE GRAPHIC, dis
covered this evidence of the
printers art, and though he
assures us that he had read
every line Of print, big and lit
tie, including the patent medi-
cine ''ads," he found no excuse
for the appearance Of the picture
of "Arbuckle. "
In truth, jealousy and hatred
contaminate the cerebral devel-
opment of some individuals to
that extent that they are reduc-
ed to The plain of the lower ami
mails, and the picture of our eff
fcient Judge acted in the same
manner as a red rag. The bull
paved the earth upon his own
back, beloved and shut his eyes
for the charge, land cut a most
noble caper before high heaven
and the people" Had he re-
tanned his natural instincts of
higher animal life, cultivated
from the countless centuries since
his ancestors roamed the jungle
or clambered among the ante
deluvian branches, he would have
noticed that Immediately by thi:

picture of one Of our
best citizens shine fourth in the
effulgent splendors of a halo of
glory, and smile with smiles that
chase themselves from heart to

this is kiddish fancy in a most
wonderful gambol, 1t is a great
pity that the renowned Samuel
Johnson and the immortal Will
liam Shakespeare could not en-
joy, with our mortal George,
these wonderful flights Of fancy.
If the writer of the article in
question would come down off
his perch Of ancient history and
medieval literature, and drop
out of his airship of poetic aerial
flight, and read the current lit
erature of the present age, i'm
proving the time he employs in
reading patent medicine adver-
tisements to looking over the
more substantial facts as set
fourth in the daily and weekly
newspapers, he will see many
such lads" as he has seen fit to
grow humorous over, adorned
with the pictures of the honest
gentlemen who wish to attract
the attention of the general pub

real estate and other commodities
for sale.

been created in the brain of this

would like to enlighten the writer
on this subject for his peace of

Chapman, and as the gallant

often revert to the honest face
that dispenses Justice without

will remember him when he re.

NO MORE BOOKING.
Only an Occasional "CoId One'' or a
HighbaII for Them.

Chicago, May 14.-One thousand phil
osophical and ablebodied young men
have decided that it is perhaps all
right to open a cold bottle" now and
then, or even sip cooling hfghball but
that it is all wrong to drink away the
contents of a pay envelope in one long
Saturday night debauch.
Having reached this decision involv-
ing the ethics of drinking and having
marked out the line of demarkation
between esthetic and cultural refresh
ment and coarse "boozing," the 1000
young men organized themselves into a
which is to be known as the Chicago
Home Protective league.
The chief duty of each member of
the league is to constitute himself a
pursuing ogre of every man in his pre-
cinct who has formed the habit of
drinking up the sustenance of his fam
lily in a neighboring barroom. The pur-
pose of the league is to make barroom
lights a horrible nightmare to the toll
ers who can not afford to drink except
at the sacrifice of the three daily meals
of their wives and children.
The league came into life yesterday.
Its membership lists and its officers are
to be kept great a secret as the
roll of the Black Hand. The only per-
son interested in the league who is to

zation means business and that it will
