Rev Earle ID. Sims Saves Girl
From Drowning.
Key West Fla J journal, July Is.

Key West Fla journal, July Is.
The presence of mind and courage
of Rev. Earle d. Sims, pastor of the
Eaton St. Baptist Church, and Mr..
Fred B. Chambers, the United Wire
less operator here, is all that saved
the lives of Cleo Lightbourne and
Carrie Di Negro yesterday afternoon.
The girls were in swimming at La
Brisa with other girls, and they start
ed to go out to the raft. 1t seems
that they got beyond their depth and
were clinging to each other and strug-
Cling, the result of which was to drag
both of them under the water Miss
Eliza Fraser, who was in the water at
the time, screamed when she saw
that the girls were drowning.
Rev. Earle D. Sims was sitting on
the veranda at La Brisa enjoying the
cool breeze when he heard the
scream, at the same moment noticing
the struggles of the two girls in the
water. He rushed down to the
wharf, and without a moments hesi-
tation leaped overheard in his clothes
and struck out for the drowning
girls. AT about the same time Mr..
Chambers, who was at La Brisa,
leaped from the wharf in his clothes
and went to the assistance of the
girls. Rev. Sims reached Carrie Di
Negro and succeeded in getting her
to the wharf. Mr.. Chambers brought
Cleo Lightbourne ashore.
Rev. Sims while in the water lost a
gold watch given to him by broth
er. Mr.. Chambers lost pocket book
containing $34.OO.

night, and was inferred in Mount

Quick, of the Virginia neighbor-
hood, as director. Mr.. Quick is an

be treated to some good games dur

Where They Get Done. "

Among the gambling stories that
the late Pat Sheedy used to tell in
his art shop" said New York re-
porter, twas one about jackpot.
"a beautiful young bride, the story
ran, entered corner grocery one
morning and said:
Have you got any iackpots, Mr..
Sands?' No ma am, Sandsanswered,
and he hid a smile behind his hand.
I've got teapots and coffee pots, but
iackpots | don't stock.
ooh, dear!" said the bride. A
frown wrinkled her smooth and
beautiful brow. Pm so sorry! You
see, Mr.. Sands, my husbands mother
used to cook for him, and nearly
every night he talks in his sleep
about a jackpot So thought I'd
get one, for, since he mentions it SC
often, he must be used to it. Gould
you tell me, Mr.. Sands, what they
cook in jackpots?'

answer. Detroit Free Press.

Oklahoma Laws Are Violated.

Guthrie, Ok, July.-At no time
since prohibition became statutory in
Oklahoma has the law been more
openly violated than at this time. In
nearly all the larger towns 'joints"
are running wide open with gambling
rooms in connection. Persons who
do not care to patronize the open re-
sorts may become members of clubs
upon payment of monthly dues,
whereupon they are given keys and
may buy anything from champagne
to key beer.
The explanation most frequently
given of this situation is that this is
campaign year and that candidates
are afraid to antagonize the liquor in
terests.

The Gregory boys were tried the
morning following the fight with the
marshal, in the municipal court on
the charge of disturbing the peace,

state charge against them is assault
with intent to kill, and is of much
more serious nature.
The affair created no small amount

When does crime become punish
able? When it is committed by mail.
The mail is the most sacred thing
known to the United States govern
ment except itself. Nothing but
treason surpasses in egregiousness
the misuse of the mails. So far as
the federal authorities are concerned,
one may steal, gamble and murder so
long as it is not done by correspond

Hiding High Prices.

To prove that the new tariff has
not increased the cost Of life's neces-
sites, standpatters cite schedules in
which the quoted prices of manufac-
tured articles are the same as before
the 'Aldrich-Taft law was passed.
The absurdity of this attempt to de-
ceive consumers is manifest.
II is notorious that the textile trust
took heroic measures to keep price
quotations normal for this season by
making lighter weight goods, and
using poorer material.
Their example was followed by
foreign makers who exported to this
country a cheaper grade of cotton
stockings at the old prices. The net
