SWALLOWING A PASTURE LOT
Bob Burdette, Noted Los ANGLER
Clergyman, Gives Characteristic
Temperance Sermon.

Bob Burdette, that genial. witty edt
tor that few recognize as the Rev,
Robert Burdette Of Los Angeles pull
pit, says this:
MY homeless friend, while you are
stirring up the sugar in a ten-cent
glass of gin, let me give you fact to
wash down with it. You say you have
1onged for years to be farmer, but
have never been able to get enough
ahead to buy a farm. That is where
you are mistaken. For some years you
have been drinking good improved
farm at the rate of a hundred square
feet at a gulp. Figure it out for your
self. An acre OF land contains 43,50o
square feet. Estimating, for con.
venience, the land at $43.56 per acre,
you will see that it brings it to just
one mill square foot. Now put down
the fiery dose and imagine you are
swallowing down a strawberry patch.
Call in five of your friends and have
them help you gulp down that garden
of 500 square feet. Get on a prolonged
spree some day and see how long il
will take to swallow a pasture lot
put down that glass of gin-there's
dirt in it, 800 square feet of good, ricI
dirt worth $43.56 an acre."

TITANIC WRECK EVERY WEEK
rectly and Indirectly Through
Liquor Traffic.

Every week in the year as many
people go to their death directly and
indirectly through the liquor traffic
as went down with the Titanic How
few people get shocked at this weekly
calamity Pastors of big churches
never mold memorial services for these
victims. Newspapers do not get out
special editions with great startling
headlines and devote page after page
to this calamity Great theaters do
not give special benefits to raise
money to aid the helpless and depend
ent victims left by the loss of the
bread-winner of the family Congress
does not appoint a special investigat-
ing commission to find the cause and
fix the responsibility for the great
calamity.
The Titanic disaster was an acct
dent, but the liquor traffic is no acct
dent in our country We would that
it were, and that the large death loss
caused by it happened but once in a
century. But the sad fact is that
this awful death loss is repeated ev
cry week, and the more astounding
fact is that the continuous calamity
caused our country by the liquor traf

Thus there were eleven people. men
and women, who were his chums.
To eliminate the innocent ones, and

and myself.
At the end of two weeks work we
were exactly where we had started.
Not one of the eleven people on the
Bauder poolroom had shown a sign
whereby he might suspect their con-
nection with the crime; not one of
them but seemed heart-broken and
enraged over the fate Of their erst-
while playmate.

Jobs, and there were a new hand IN
the flower houses. learning the flor
lists trade. Bauder put us both to
work upon our request, and we had
the run OF both house and flower
houses and intercourse with the SER
wants and employees without being I'M
der suspicion as detectives. Then,
having decided whittier our theory
pointed, Cluffer and l began our task
of clearing up the Popham Center my
stery.
All the circumstances attendant on
the case suggested to my mind that
the guilty party was someone who
was extremely familiar with the Baud
er household, and with the Bauder
boy. The more / dwelt on the odd
feature of the case-the Staying Of
the boy on the lawn and the disap-
pearing of the bank in the house-the
more became convinced that no out
slider had done this crime. 1t looked
more and more like the work of some
one who had been friendly with the
boy. / told Cluffer to work in the
house with a view to finding the SER
want or servants who were most in
innate with the child, and in the Bau-
der florist establishment I bent my eff
forts along the same line.
Three days of this work and we saw
that our task was to be more compli-
Gated even than we had feared. Prac-
tically every one of the five servants
in the house, and all the six employees
in the flower houses, had been
chummy with the little fellow. He
was a strange child and had sought
his playmates, not among other chill
dren of his own years in the village,
but among the men and women en-
ployed in various capacities by his
father. Seldom If ever did he stray
away from the florists or servants. If
he was not to be found in the home,

soft-hearted German was in reality of
vicious criminal type. Engaged, as
he thought, in an actual crime, his
face had taken on ma1eyolent ex-

PULlTzER's HOUR OF EASE
Whim of Great Journalist Had to Be
scrupulousIy Observed by His
Attendants.

After lunch the late Joseph Pulitzer
always retired to his cabin for a sizes
ia. ! use the word ''siesta," but as a
matter of fact, 1t is quite inadequate
to describe the peculiar function or
ceremony for which / have chosen it
as a label
What took place on these occasions
was this: Mr.. Pulitzer lay down on his
bed, sometimes in pajamas, but more
often with only his coat and his boots
removed, and one Of his secretaries,
usually the German secretary, sat
down in an armchair at the bedside
with a pile Of books at his elbow At
a word from Mr.. Pulitzer the secre-
tary began to read in clear, incisive
voice some historical work-Sueton-
ius's Lives" Green's History" Ma
caulay's "Essays"-or some German
play or novel.
After few minutes Mr.. Pulitzer
would say, Softly" and the secre-
tary's voice was lowered until, though
1t was still perfectly audible, it as.
sumed monotonous and soothing
quality. After while the order came,
quite softly" At this point the read
er ceased to form his words and COM
menced to murmur indistinctly, Civ
ing an effect such as might be pro-
duced by person reading aloud in an
adjoining room. but with the connect.
ing door closed.
If, after ten minutes of this muir
muring, Mr.. Pulitzer remained mo-.
tionless, 1t was to be assumed that
he was asleep, and the secretary's
duty was to go on murmuring until
Mr.. Pulitzer awoke and told him to
stop or to commence actual reading
again. This murmuring might last for
two hours, and it was a very difficult
art to acquire, for at the slightest
change in the pitch Of the voice. at
sneeze or cough, Mr.. Pulitzer would
wake with a start, and an unpleasant
quarter Of an hour followed .-Ameri-

make people trust him, and took the
first train for Jersey City.
Grogan's saloon was a typical wa
ter front place for the entertainment
of sailors and longshoremen. l stroll
ed in promptly at six, and called for a
glass of beer. Looking in the mirror
| saw Clutter enter, and without more
than look at me pass behind me
slowly and followed him.
1--WE got him trusting me to the
limit" he said, when we were alone
"but III be darned If / believe he's
our man. I've played the crook and
Dragged about the jobs I've done and
SO on, but he hasn't said word about
the Bauder kid"
WELL" said I, well find out soon
enough if he's guilty. Are you strong
with him?"
"Strong?" laughed Clutter. Say
he thinks I'm the only friend he's got
in the world. He's broke, you know
Then he must have hidden the
bank" I interrupted.
Hes broke" continued Cluffer
"and I'm his meal ticket. He wouldn't
leave me for a farm"
Good! We've got to fake a muir
der by you. Here it is: You fix it tc
hold me up. You have to shoot me
because I resist. Then you hurry
away. After that you get afraid OF
Hunemann. You tell him that you're
afraid to stay with him because he
knows you're guilty Of this crime and
may give you away. Then, if you are
strong with him, and he wants to
stay with you, he'll"

It was four days later that we had
our first reward. It was about eleven
at night-a dark, moonless night
when Clutter and were lying hidden
in hedge, that man, clothed In a
long macintosh and wearing a cap
well down over his eyes, came sneak
ing out on the lawn, looking hurriedly
around the spot where the boy had
been found, and hurried away into, the

ed at me. Without a word my part
ner began to roll a cigarette.
WELL" he said, at last, Il guess
you win. Now the problem Is to find
who that guy was who just inspected
the scene of the murder"
Luck favored us the next morning,
for in the soft walks of the lawn we
found the imprint OF a peculiar,
square-toed shoe. BY night had that
pair of shoes spotted and they were
on the feet Of young German, named
Hunemann, employed with me in Bau-
der's flower houses!
1t was a shock. Hunemann had been
the little Bauder boys best friend
Among all the employees he had been
the one to whom the little fellow had
taken the biggest liking, and It was
with Hunemann that he was most
often to be found. And Hunemann
had grieved constantly over the little
fellows fate. Was it possible-or had
the poor fellow only gone to the
scene of murder to grieve in silence,
as one might go to a beloved ones
grave?
A few days later it rained.
"Hunemann," l said to my work
fellow, Eve got to go down town.
Do you happen to have a macintosh
you could let me wear for an hour or

Denatured Alcohol.

Temperance people believe alconoi
should be denatured. The United
States government has taken the tax
off denatured alcohol that it may be
sold cheaply. Being poisonous. it can
not be used as beverage, but to use
in the arts and sciences. or to burn, it
is as good as any. Germany has gone
ahead of this country and is now
manufacturing denatured alcohol for
