| Two hundred guests of the Lemp Fish
ling and Hunting club of Alton. H., went
! through a trying ordeal the other after
noon when they attended the clubs linn
burger cheese-eating contest. The diff
| ference between this contest and the
| Salome dance is that one doesn't have
| to have his eyes open to witness it..
Joseph Uhle won by consuming four
| pounds of the fragrant frontage, and Ed
| Trumble finished II bad second with two
pounds to his credit. The prize was a
| case of beer. Uhle is as well as could
| be expected, and it is thought that fumi-
cation will save the clubhouse for flu
ture afternoon functions.

soundly spanked by his father because
| the boy objected to being sent to bed.
| \ few moments later an older brother
! found him lying upon the floor in a
| stupor. A physician who was called in
said the boy had taken poison, and the
youngster was rushed to the hospital,
where it was thought for while that
! he was in a precarious condition. The
| doctors admit the case battles them. No
/ poison was found in the lads stomach,
land it appears that he was either play
~hg possum or had eaten 50 much that
/ he became unconscious.

Edward J. Allison, editor of the Hope
Journal, published at Hope, near Column
bus, Ind, deposited 1915 i'll dimes in the
Hope bank. This was the amount of
money he has saved in the last two years
after he stopped smoking cigars. About
two years ago Mr.. Allison suggested to
Joseph A. Spaugh, president of the
Hope bank that they both quit tobacco.
Mr. Spaugh likes his cigars and de-
clined to quit. So the editor decided to
90 it alone. lie said he would save
every day the amount he had usually
spent for cigars, and began putting
away his dimes. The pile of dimes
grew and grew until Mr.. Allison got
afraid to keep all the dimes around the
house and carried them to the bank,
where he deposited them to his credit.
He is still leaving cigars alone and will
continue to save his cigar money in the
future
