Man sells His Throat and Lungs.

A gruesome sort of bargain was
transacted in Detroit recently when
Bert Morphy, a noted vocalist. agreed
10 sell his throat and lungs to the
Medical college of Chicago, for ex.
perimental purposes after death. The
reason the organs are wanted is be-
cause Morphy once was in the last
stages Of consumption and was cured
BY outdoor singing. The price offered
was good, and Morphy after consulta-
ton. closed the bargain on the assur-
ance that his body, minus the larynx
and the lungs, could be returned Il
his family unmutilated.

The sale of the average popular
book usually shrinks within a year.
Few works of science, particularly in
this day of eager research and start

cades ago is absolutely valueless save
as a literary curiosity. But there
is one book that always sells, and OF
which single publication house in
New York has actually issued over
eighty million copies. That, of course,
is the Bible.
Mr.. Day Allen Wiley, il saying
that it is absolutely true that

ferred to, it is almost needless to say,
is the famous Bible House, which con.
tinues to issue books at the rate OF
a million q year.
It is interesting to learn that they
are printed in over fifty languages
ranging from Arapahoe to Visayan-

hat most Of the books sent to this
state were wanted in the mining and
districts, and he adds:

BIG BILL AT GARRICk.
George Felix and Barry Sisters Head
Fine Show at Dock
sfaders.

Nelson. a comedy juggler, opens
the bill at the Garrick Theatre this
week, and incidentally what proved
one Of the biggest hits the house has
recorded in long time. II is a
laughing show all the way through,
and there isn't an act on the program
but what furnishes its quota Of fun.
George Feliz and the Barry Sisters
are the big hit of the week, although
there are a number of smaller ones
that come In for liberal attention.
Felix is really a remarkable clever
comedian. He has an originality that
is all his own and from the time he
appears until he goes off he keeps
his audience convulsed. THE Boy
Next Door" is the title of his sketch
and with the Barry Sisters. two very
clever girls, he more than makes
good.
Helen Royton and CorHpany in
Alias Irish Tessy" has an act that
is out of the ordinary in many ways
and is easily in the headliner class
this week. Miss Royton essays the
role Of the notorious shoplifter and
does clever work. The Four Dewolfs
have an entertaining singing act
Hathaway. Kelley and Mack have a
singing and dancing number that
scored an emphatic hit yesterday
both upstairs and down. The girls
are gracefulness personified.
Jesse Lackey's Seven Hobos come
along after the intermissiOn and con-
tinue the fun-making without any in
corruption, their sons and comedy be-
ing easily up 10 that which precedes
their appearance. Gertrude VanDyck
and Ray Fern have high-class sing
inf oddly and the Three Hickey Trip
let's apepar in some acrobatic stunts
of the hair-raising order, interspered
with comedy that is refreshingly new.
The pictures. like the remainder OF
the bill, are all 20 the good Such an
aggregation cannot do otherwise than
play to big business during the week.
