Only few years ago this man was
one of the most popular OF the younger
generation In his home town. He had
everything he could wish-a good name,
an excellent position, an attractive
young wife and many true friends. Then
he began to drink and slowly, but sure
ly King Alcohol caught him in his grip.
He neglected his work, his real friends
left him and he drifted from bad into
worse company. He abused his wife in
such a manner that she was compelled
to leave him. he lost his position and
his only friends" were the saloon
keepers and his drinking acquaintances.
But when his money was all gone. they
also left him and he came to the big
city to try his luck. He endeavored to
give up drinking. but the craving over
powered him every time and his very
last pennies We're spent on "booze.
And now he is down and out" he
tries to sleep on the benches in the
parks but the policeman turns him
away, and shivering he tries to find
shelter somewhere. Nobody wants his
services. for he is one OF the millions
of victims ruined each year by King
Alcohol.

SPOILED A SPANISH PLOT.
Reward Of Dutch Boys For Saving
Amsterdam's Stock Exchange.


Amsterdam's Stock Exchange.
OF the many quaint and curious Gus
toms, traditions and privileges prevail
ing in Holland none is more extraordi-
nary than a certain privilege that has
been enjoyed by the boys of Amster
dam for nearly 300 years.
at fixed time each summer these
boys gather by the hundreds in the
great square called the Dam, situated
in the center of the city. Each boy has
a drum slung over his shoulder
Facing this square is the Stock Ex-
change, and on the occasion in ques-
ton, just as soon as the days business
is over, as many of the boys as can
crowd into the building. They proceed
to the floor of the exchange. where.
pursuant to this odd custom. they are
permitted to march about, singing and
beating upon their drums.
The origin of this custom. it is said.
is as follows:
One afternoon in the year 1922 a
crowd of boys playing in the Dam lost
ball in the canal that in those days
skirted one side of the square. One of
the lads. while climbing in among the
piles on which the building stood.
found instead of his ball boat moored
in dark corner and loaded with boxes
of gunpowder. This showed clearly
enough, what was afterward ascer
tanned with certainty. the intention of
the Spanish conspirators to blow up the
Stock Exchange while it was crowd
ed. as it was every day. with the lead
ing citizens of the city.
The boy who stumbled upon the gun.
powder at once hurried to the town au-
thorities with his news. The boatload
of explosives was quietly sunk in the
canal and the Spanish plot thus frus-
! trated
| When the burgesses asked the boy
what reward he desired for the service
| he had rendered the town he replied
| that so long as there was stock ex-
| change in Amsterdam the boys OF the
| town would like to be permitted To
make the floor of the exchange their
| playground during a certain part of the
| year. The request was granted, and s.
| the custom survives.-New York Sun.

ADOPT A CONSTITUTION
All Readily Agree TO Become Men,
bers OF the Students Asso-
ciation.

Prior to the annual field and track
meet OF the Tri-city schools, scheduled
Tor this afternoon at Exposition park,
a small but enthusiastic mass meet
ing was held In the auditorium of the
high school yesterday afternoon direct
ly after the close Of the seventh period
While less than half of the entire
student body was present, and the ma
jority OF these girls, a great deal Of
interest was fostered over the meet,
and those present went away with q
much more enthusiastic feeling than
when they had been called to the meet
Ing. Mr.. Sinnett, acting as chairman,
called upon a few members of the
team for brief talks, and then Physical
Director George d. Corneal took the
floor. He made some stirring asser-
lions about the abilities of his men,
but said that they needed the undi-
vided support Of every student Of the
school. Principal A. J. Burton then
spoke enthusiastically about the work
OF the physical director this year, and
declared that the high school had one
OF the most efficient coaches in this
section, but added that for the most
part good school spirit was lacking.
ADOPT CONSTITUTION.
The proposed constitution for the
associated students body organization
was read, and all unanimously
expressed their desire to become mem
bers of the same Tho uurposa of rba
association will be TO instill a strong
healthy school spirit among the stu

BOWLERS ARE TO
BANQUET TUESDAY
Members of Commercial Bowl
ing League to Bombard Food
to Mark Seasons Close.
WILL BE AT HOTEL HARMS
Prizes Are to Be Awarded to Boys
Who Knocked Down Most
Timber.

Tuesday evening at o'clock, mem
bers OF the Commercial Bowling
league teams will banquet at the Ho-
tel Harms, bringing the 191L-1912
bowling season to a close. A meet
ing of the officers and team captains
of the league was held at the Harms
last night and at that time cards
were mailed to the bowlers advising
them of the banquet and urging their
attendance. At the banquet there is
to be the presentation of medals. Otto
Patting, as president of the league,
is to preside as POSTMASTER and the
bowlers are advised to have a strike
speech up their sleeves for they are
to be called at random.
DISTRIBUTE PRIZES.
AS to the prizes, Arthur Salzmann
gets the bulk of them. His bowling
achievements of the year entitle him
to $50 worth of medals. The medals
include honor badges for high indi-
vidual average, high score for three
games and a medal as a member OF
the championship team. Whether he
will be given several medals or just
one, will be left to him to decide. The
Colts bowlers each receive a IS media
for landing first place and the Inde
pendents who landed second place re
ceive medals of half that intrinsic
value.
PLANS FOR NEXT YEAR.
AS was the case last year, the bowl
ers will make this the big affair o.
the year and plans for the ensuing
year will probably be outlined at the
meeting
