You talk about Rip Van Winklc sleep

could not sleep one night at Ivy City
in the icy pits or the shop that is
what the officials call it,; he would not

FIGURES THAT TIPPLER
ROBBED SELF OF $3.50

To the Editor Of THE TIMES:
In regard to the question of the pur-
chase OF a drink in n saloon and the
novel way of settling the debt, it looks
as If some one was very drunk.
The drink cost 10 cents, and the bar
keeper advanced a dollar. making the
total debt $l.10, on payment of which
the customer was entitled to receive
his s. bill intact As he paid $3.50 he
robbed himself Of $3.50 AS the 81 bill
was simply held as security, its value
does not cut any figure in the question;
he might have left his watch or a
ring for security. The debt was just

BUT WRITERS THEMSELVES

TO the Editor Of THE TIMES:
/ have been reading the letters pub
lished in your Mail Bag department and
have found most of them to be very
interesting, except for one thing: these
letters concerning the Bible and re-
ligion. L think that If these Sunday
school scholars" feel that they must
argue about something, they should use
other means than the valued space in
your paper. and not fill the page up
with a lot of "stuft' that nobody reads
but themselves. That is the only rea-
son they put 1t there, probably, to read
to themselves. LEE TOWERS.

FIGHTING AND CULTURE.

Our army is looking up Of course, its the
finest and all that 1t always was Every Fourth
of July orator and every speaker of the evening has
said so from time immemoral. Still, our army is
looking up. Having all the fighting qualities, it is
now feeling the great uplift and getting cultivated.
In witness whereof when Olive Newton of Muncie,
Ind, tried to enlist the other day, Notwithstanding he
had served in navy, Sergeant Fnney, the recruit
ing officer, observed that he had scantly-cad
Salome tattooed on his arm. In fact, she was not
clothed at all.
The army won't stand for that" said the cult
waited Finney You will have to get some clothes
for that woman before you enlist" and Olive
did He had a deCollete waist and hobble skirt
erected over the nude Saome, and he is a
member of our army!
On the whole, we think Fnney has Brother
Dooey's pink silk pajamaS" in Cuba beaten to a
frazzle
Here is a chance for the British government Let
the suffragettes be promised votes if they force
the miners to 60 back to work. Let the miners be
paid to form an armed militia to restrain the suffra
getes Then let both bodies, when seasoned by their
experience in warfare, hold themselves in readiness
to resist a German invasion
Some startling stories have been appearing Of
late as to people who have performed all sorts Of
surgical operations on themselves, without so much
as an anesthetiC. Perhaps the next need would be
to trim down an enlarged imagination.
The Amber donation for the education of the
poor mountaineer children of the South has
aroused enthusiasm. The work instituted by Miss
Martha Berry is bearing fruit every day.
