tempted to neglect their business and
squander that money which is neces-
sary to the payment of their debts and
the support of their families, rumor
was spread about the town that If the
play went on the audience would meet
with some disturbance from the multi
tude.
'"rhis prevented the greatest part Of
those who intended to have been there
from going. However. many people
came, and the play was begun, but
soon interrupted by the multitude. who
burst open the doors and entered with
noise and tumult. The audience es-
capped in the best manner they could.
Many lost their hats and other articles
Of raiment. A boy had his skull frac-
tured and was yesterday trepanned.

When tailor puts you on the meas
uring box, with a man guarding the
door 30 that you can't get away and
another making book ON the game.
he reels OF something like this az ha
goes about you with his measuring
hpe: "13-2+11-168 8-4-i8-11-4e;-
Gee. you're beginning to get a front.

dle-What lid you say your name

Now. nobody can make any combi.
nation Of the foregoing figures which
will spell anything like decent pair
Of pants. But the tailor cares nothing
whatever about the figures which he
calls out to Jimmie and indeed makes
no reference to them In his later opr
erations. He knows the pants won't
fat. anyhow, so what's the use? II
you watch him you will discover that
he usually takes up some other mans
measurements when he undertakes
the laying out Of that particular gar.
ment on which he puts your name.
Having selected from the mass Of
papers on his desk set Of figures
which suits him, he goes behind his
counter. yawns, looks in the glass,
smooths down his hair, hunts for the
place where he left his cigar and at
last picks up thing which looks like
board rule, with curve in the cor.
ner like a hockey stick. If you are
not watching him he will probably
cut your pants by ear and will not
bother to use this implement, but If
you insist upon inspection he'll make
pretense of scientific use of this in
strument, whose real nature or pur-
pose no human being knows or ever
will know.
What the tailor is thinking Of as he
begins to make chalk marks in a piece
Of blue paper, using this rule as a
straight edge, is the "joy ride" he is
going to have with Marie in his new
auto that evening. 1t makes no diff
ference to him whether the chalk slips
or not, nor is it important how far
along this or that angle he allows the
straight or curved line to run. He
knows they are not going to fit. any
how, so why should he bother about it
overmuch? The only hope you can
possibly have meantime is the one
raised In your bosom when the tailor.
from behind the counter, looks up and
says: Jimmie, why in the world
didn't you mark the name on this
gents pants? Oh, well, never mind"
| The tailor goes on making several
cute little pictures on the blue paper
by aid of this curved thing, which has
numbers scattered along it here and
there. He draws in several isoscles
triangles, converging at more or less
the same point; but, not liking the
looks Of these, he rubs out some of the
lines and tries over again. Then he
forgets which ones he rubbed out. II
makes no difference anyhow. At last
he stands off, critically gazes upon the
pattern which he has been casting,
makes hit or miss crosswise dab
with the chalk-which determines.
wholly by chance, how long your pants
are going to be-and smiles to himself.

MERRY
TIMES OVER

Two plain clothes men who are said
to have been i'll West Hammond for
several weeks collecting evidence
against the dive-keepers there. were
arrested by Captain Barnie Johnson
last evening and were thrown in jail
According to their story. they had
been making an investigate of con-
ditions in West Hammond. They had
visited several of the dives and left
one OF them in company with two of
the inmates whom they were pumping
for information
i They say they met Joseph Okray. a
bolice officer. on the street and he In
formed them that they were wanted
at the police station. When they ar
rived Captain Barnie Johnson is de-
clared to have cursed at them until
I his voice gave out and then to have

S~-They asked that some one send for
Miss Virginia Brooks at once so that
they could give bond but the police
captain refused to permit them to see
any of their friends uatil morning.
The trial of the case is said to be set
for next Monday.
It is believed that Arthur Burrag
FarweIl of the Law and Order League
of Chicago has employed the men to
secure evidence against the dives in

two detectives that practically every
