OTHER SIDE GETS
SHOT AT SUNDAY

The other side is beginning to
have an inning as to Billy Sunday.
Here is statement from the
Brunswick Bake Collender Co.,
manufacturers Of billiard, indoor
sporting goods and barroom fix
lures. 1t was addressed to D. L..
Sourwine, Spokane manager for
the company, and says.
1--WE are pleased to be able to
advise you that the city OF Decatur,
ILL.,. which was put out of business
by a Billy Sunday craze, has seen
the dark side of prohibition and
recently voted wet. The town is
now out strong for anti-prohibition.
"A short time ago you heard
considerable about Billy Sunday
putting Ottumwa, Iowa. in the dry
list. Last Friday Ottumwa went
back to the vets after short
time under the dry rule. Both of
these changes came little bit too
quick to boom our business. We
get the best results where they
stay dry IL or Is months and the
saloon fixtures are put out of COM
mission. We begin to feel that ev-
cry town that votes dry in 1909
means new fixtures for 1910.
1T will probably do the people
Of Spokane some good to know that
their $4,000 invested in Billy SUM-
day was poured into b rat hole.'

1t is said that the Long Boston, the
waltz which was among last seasons nov

ject to the dreamy harmony of bewitch-

obeying the power of this rapturous in

This girl and man from Boston uncon-

the step took the popular fancy. and was
called the Long Boston. having since been
taken up by a fashionable dancing teach

dance of the day.
The story goes that this dancing couple.

The Secret of Meredith.

From the Atlantic Monthly.
The secret of George, Meredith's mys-
terry may perhaps lie in the fact that
never before has writer Of such emf
nence partaken at one time in SO full a
measure Of the critical and the creative
faculty. Shakespeare knew how to write
a play. Aristotle knew how one ought to
be written; we shall rarely find in the
study of any period an author pre-emi-
nent both as critic and creator That
word which is able to make flesh of
abstract material comes seldom from the
mouth Of the scientist, however fine and
true be his knowledge. potent. his voice
or sturdy his faith. What monstrosity
indeed was that Frankenstein, man Gre
ated by the hand of man to scare the
public Of century ago! Nor could ever
a workman. however curious his art,
make Of any dry bones a Zagloba. This
it is then which marks George Meredith
as unique among artists: that being first
critic of man. he is in a secondary
degree, and yet in degree extraordi-
nary, q creator of man.

Cotton Seed Oil on Free List

Cotton seed oil was placed on
the free list by the SenateThurs-
day. There was difference of
opinion among SouthernSenators
as to the wisdom of this course,
but the suggestions of Senators
Bacon, Tillman and others that
the placing of cotton seed oil on
the free list would open a great
er market to the farmers for the
sale of cotton seed abroad pre-
vailed. Senator Simmons took
the position with a number of his
colleagues that this was a haz-
ardous course to pursue by rea-
son of the competition with Ger
many and other foreign coun.
tries in the manufacture of cot.
ton seed oil.
