A QUESTION OF LOCALITY.

Philander c. Knox, Secretary of State, is particular man about the food he eats. In fact if the dishes do not suit him exactly his appetite fades away to nothing. One day in New York, being in hurry, he rushed into a cheap res- taurant and ordered roast beef. To his intense disgust, he found that the beef was not good, and immediately pro- ceeded to enunciate a well-developed roar.
 To the proprietor, who hurried up. Mir. Knox exclaimed.
 What do you mean by serving spoiled beef?'
 Its that bone-headed cook of mihe," said the proprietor. T told him to cut off that spoiled part before he served the beef" Whereupon, MT. Knox lost his appe- tite for week.-The Twice a month Popular Magazine

IN HOTEL LOBBIES
Warde in Fine Form

Frederick Warde, the actor. who has the role of Nobody, in the beautiful moral ity play of "Everywoman," is in splendid form. He has many personal friends in Birmingham who greeted him yesterday most cordially.
 'Warde is Is one of the best histrlones in this country and one of the most popu- lar" said an old theatregoer. "He has a deep voice that is perfectly modulated, and in the delivery of lofty. virile or tragic lines, few of the modern actors have equalled him.
 "Warde is well up in the fifties but he might pass for a man of 40 or 45. He IS wonderfully. well preserved. He was born in England and had his early stage school ing in London. He came to this country to support Edwin Booth when Booth Was in his prime. He made a pronounced im- pression in the Shakespeare plays. Warde possesses broad culture, and as lecturer on Shakespeare and other literary sub jects has been highly successful.
 1.-TWO or three years ago when he de- livered an address on Shakespeare at the High school auditorium it was said that he easily surpassed all other lecturers in the Shakespearean field. But theatregoers are glad that he is back on the stage and everybody is glad to see him looking so young and vigorous"

HARD QUESTION FOR MOTHER
lnquisitive Little One Sought lnfor-
nation That Has Puzzled the
Wisest Of Men.

Four-year-old Dorothy, being in a
thoughtful mood, wished to know
what she would be when she grew up.
Her mother told her she would be-
first a young woman, then perhaps a
married woman, an old woman,
grandmother and a great-grandmoth-
er.
And after great-grandmother,
what?" Dorothy inquired.
Then you will die. Your soul will
go to heaven to live forever, and tho
rest Of you will be put under the soft
grass and flowers"
"Oh!" said Dorothy, and asked no
more questions at the time. When
her mother was undressing her for
bed that night, and the rosy little
figure stood uncovered, Dorothy said
eagerly:
Mother, will you show me just
what part Of me will go to heaven TO
live forever and what goes under thu
flowers? "-Lippincott's Magazine.

new WORLDS BOWLING RECORD
KANSAS CITY MAN SPILLS 260
PINS IN TOURNAMENT
Other Good Showings Made in the
Chicago Pin Con-
gress.

Chicago, March 13.-Breaking
worlds record for tournament compe-
titiOn featured the eleventh day of
the American Bowling congress tour
nament. Louis Vielstitch of Kansas
City established the record when he
rolled $50 for a single game while
competing in the doubles with Kid
Nichols, former pitcher Of the Bos-
ton National league baseball club.
The official score, which beats the
former mark of 279, made jointly by
Harry Muggly of Sioux City, Ia, and
William Miner of Chicago, at st. Louis
last year came as the result OF clean
middle game with the exception Of the
second frame when the five and seven
pins had to be cleaned off with a sec
ond ball.
High score in the individual event
went to Earl Shepherd of Kansas City,
who knocked down 662 pins and rolled
into third place deposing Christie
Theis of Cleveland. Shepherd played
brilliantly throughout this series, a
'railroading" in the last game pre-
venting him from going into the lead.
Nicholas Bruck and Glenn Fisher Of
Chicago scored heaviest in the dOu-
bles, dropping 1,191 pins for a second
place. Vielstitch and Nichols, despite
the formers record breaking game,
scored only LILY, which placed them
low in the list of leaders.
The Alverds of Chicago rolled into
fourth place on the early squad of
five men teams with a score of 2.74S.
The Pete Loeb team Of Omaha started
out with two big games, fell down

While its first cost is few cents
more than that Of ordinary toilet

and of such materials, that it wears
to wafer often outlasting several

DELEGATES DO NOT
COME UNDER ACT
Attorney General Gives Opinion
on Corrupt Practices Law.
NOT LIMITED TO. EXPENSES
Decision Holds National Convention
Delegate Candidates Are immune
to Wisconsin Statute and That
Rule Of Reason Should Prevail.

Madison.-That section 94-2S (S)
of the corrupt practices act, which
has referred to the amount that may
be expended by candidates for office,
does not apply to candidates for dele
gate or delegate-at-larg to party
national convention is held in an
opinion given by Atty. Gen L. H.
Bancroft to Secretary of State Frear.
The law which might be held to
apply to candidates for delegate pro-
vides that eff such officer, when nom
mated and elected, would not receive
a salary, and if such officer has no
predecessor, and in all cases not spe-
officially provided for, $25 and NC
more"
Mr.. Bancroft says that it does not
seem to him that a candidate for del
egate to national party convention
is "a candidate for any office under
the constitution or laws of the state,
within the prohibition of law" 'This
conclusion is enforced" he says, "by
the fact that if the amount of ex-
pendlture that may be made by a
candidate for delegate to a national
party convention is limited by the
corrupt practices act, the only limit
that can be found covering such po-
sitiOn is that quoted above, *
which limits the expenditure =
to SIS and no more. That the legis-
lature intended such a sum to be the
limit of expenditure in statewide
contest is so absurd as not to be a
permissible conclusion"
The result Of this Interpretation is,
therefore, that there is no limita-
ton placed upon candidates for dele
gate to party national conventions
and that the ethics of the case and
the rule Of reason must control.

SPECIAL SESSION
DETERMINED UPON
Now Practically Assured That
Legislature Will Convene.
MAKE NO CALL UNTIL APRIL
Black River Falls Situation the Prin.
cipai Subject for Consideration
Special Elections to Fill Vacancies
Necessary Before Solons Meet.

MadisOn.-That there will be
special session of the legislature call
ed to consider the situation at Black
River Falls arising out Of the condi-
lions left by the food disaster of last
fall and to take up other subjects
which Gov. McGovern believes are
pressing for solution is now stated as
a fact. That special session can
not meet before April 23 is legal
aspect of the case that must control
and may result in determining the
date of the special session at time
still more remote.
Gov. McGovern has said that he
would not consider the proposition OF
a special session now but for the ur-
gent appeals from a distressed peO-
pie of Black River Falls, backed by
a strong sentiment throughout the
state. The committee appointed some
time ago to have charge of the relief
fund for the benefit of the stricken
city has urged persistently the neces-
sity of legislative aid. It's efforts
have reached the limit of accom-
plishment in the way of relief and,
of the state and here and there pri-
vate charity are doing, contributions
to the fund have practically ceased
and the needs of the appealing COM
munity have only been half met.
But before a special session of the
Loo ir1o ho 1olI net
be two primary elections and two
special elections held to fill vacan
cieS, one each in the membership OF
senate and assembly: Since the last
session adjourned two deaths have
occurred. Assemblyman Carl III.
Dorner of Milwaukee and Senator
Jas. A. Wright of Merrill, Thirtieth
district, and the state constitution
provides that these shall be filled by
special election called upon the pre-
cept of the governor. The machin-
cry of election takes time, and as the
legislative apportionment made by
the last legislature becomes opera
tive on April 1, any special election
that may be required now must be
in accordance with that law of ap-
portionment and cannot be held be-
fore April %, giving proper time for
canvass and return of the vote at the
primary election.
With the prospects of special ses-
sion affirmatively established there
will be discussion and consideration
Of what other matters, aside from
the Black River Falls situation, shall
be made subjects of legislative
action. 1t is understood that the wa
ter power question, recently the sub
ject of an adverse decision by the
supreme court, is almost certain to
be taken up again with a view to
passing a bill that will stand the tests
established by the court. Then, too,
it is probable that some minor de-
fects that have been found to exist
in the primary election law and the
corrupt practices act will be COR
rected.

Xmas Commit Suicide.

London-Some curious customs of
a pastoral people of Uganda, known as
the Banyoro, were related at the Roy
al institution by the Rev. John Ros-
coe. He said that kings person
was sacred and his food was restrict
ed to milk and beef from a sacred
herd of COWS which were kept apart
from other cows.
The king did not wash with water.
but was rubbed with butter. The Ban
ycTo monarch never allowed himself
to grow old nor his faculties to be-
come impaired He must die in full
vigor, with his mental and physical
faculties unimpaired. When the king
thought he was going to be seriously
ill he arranged the state affairs, then
summoned his chief wife and ordered
her to bring him cup of poison.
For as long as possible the death
was kept secret. When the news
leaked out, the sons Of the dead king
fought among themselves, brother kill
ing brother. The survivor became
king.
