HOW THEY
WORKED
THE GAME

West Hammond was gone over with
ene tooth comb by Chicago detect
ives the other day but the city was
found to be as tight as drum and
there was nothing doing.
1t is understood that the detectives
had orders to report any disorderly
resorts or gambling places. The man
ner Of their invation of Hammond was
very sleuth-likc.
The detectives first made their ap-
nearance in a downtown saloon. There
they met number of Hammond
friends. These friends knew them to
be detectives.
Now we got a little job to do
over in West Hammond they let it be
known. but first we will have little
drink, So everybody had drink
around and then someone else sug-
gested that I'VE have another little
drink"
why. of course we will. But after
we have this little drink we must be

] Have Another
So they had another little drink
And after they had that little drink
someone else suggested that we all
have another little drink And so an
/ other little drink was served
Finally the two detectives decided
that it was a case of duty before pleas
ure. So they journeyed off to Yves
| Hammond all alone to rip up the towr
and search out lawlessness in high ant

And what a model little town the.
found. Every one of the saloons wa
as ouiet as though it was located OF
the st Johns crossroads. There wa
. no gambling in sight and every dis
, orderly woman had disappeared as i
by magic.
And so West Hammond is~gettinl

in tones which made Orlando turn.

Oswald, swaying with weakness, but
maddened by the sight OF an overthrow
which carried with it the stifed affections
and the admiration of his whole life. gave

fell.
Orlando stopped short. Gazing down on
his PROSTATE brother, he stood for mo-
ment with CLEAN of something like hu-
man tenderness showing through the flare
of dying passions and perishing hopes

quietly out, and Mr.. Chaloner could hear

Nothing" The word came slowly like
drop wrung from a nearly spent heart
Nothing; nothing. On, Orlando, I wish
we were both dead and buried and that
there were no further life for either of
us"
The softened tone, the wistful prayer
which would blot out an immortality of
JOY for the one, that it might save the
other from an immortality of retrlbu-
ton, touched some long unsounded chord
In Orlando's extraordinary nature
Advancing a step. he held out his hand
the left one. Wen leave the future to

mess of my life and spoiled a career

Doctors and college professors have
been trying for years to find out how much
energy a man uses when working.
If they would try it out on the woman
who hangs over the washboard every Mon
day-they'd get the information quicker,
though the women who do this are becom-
ing fewer every day.
Fels-Naptha worked the change,
The woman who uses Fels-Naptha gets
done sooner and has whittier clothes. And
she hasn't rubbed her health, strength and
good nature away on the waShboard
If you haven't tried the Fels-Naptha
way, its time to begin.
You can't start too soon to take care
of your health.
A FelS-Naptha wash-day keeps the
house comfortable-not full of steam and
soap suds smell.
Use cool or lukewarm water with
Fels-Naptha.
Makes clothes last longer because you
don't boil them tender and then rub them
to pieces on hard metal washboard
Follow the easy directions On the red
and green wrapper. Use any time of year.

KNOW chow NOT TO DO 1T"
And That Is tho Chief Reason Why
Women Mako Such Really Good
After-Dinner Speakers.

1t is always the plnint Of every gen
Grafton Of diners that nfter-dinner
speaking Is on the decline. In this
day and generation, however the etcr-
nal feminine has come to the rescue.
At recent dinners, where both men
and women have spoken, 1t has been
common comment that Of the two the
women were the better speakers.
One clever man, after dinner in
New York, where tho women carried
off all the post-prnndlal honors, OK
planned It thus: "rhe women are not
such cyclists. Every man felt him
self the star Of the evening. So he
insisted on talking for twenty min
utes and more, till tho whole table
was weary of him. The women had
sense. They got up, talked brilliantly
for just five minutes and then sat
down, leaving everybody anxious for
more"
Age-long training tells. For gem
erntions the women In every normal
family have sat and listened to the
favorite stories of their fathers, broth
ers and husbands. They have learned
the long, irrelevant preludes to an an
ecdote, the dreary delays and ad-
vances up to Its point; the boresome,
fiat epilogues.
They have been told patronizingly
that mo woman knows how to tell q
good story" And, meanwhile, in
their gracious, gentle role of audience
they have laid to heart that precious
knowledge how not to do it." The
result, while temporarily astonishing
to man, makes woman smile-and un-
derstand.-Harper's Bazur.

However, orocerymen Seldom Do.

A man walked into South Side

himself, but the groceryman did not

Der ever having seen him.
The stranger then explained that
several years ago he had sold the
store keeper load of melons which
had all the large ones placed on top.
The grocer could not remember the
incident, but the stranger was in
sistent and said he wanted to make
retribution, as he had been converted
and the matter had always bothered
him. The conversation finally ended
by the man paying the grocer dollar.
AS he walked out the storekeeper
pulled a handkerchief from his pocket
and wiped his brow, exclaiming:
