taking all the two-dollar bills in existence
and burning them up, tying the ashes in
a lead-lined casket and drowning 1t in the
middle Of the deepest sea- Prince has the
distinction of being the most supersti-
tious man in the Capitol. and he gave
an exhibition of his prowess as a be-
lever in voodoo doctrine today in the
corridor of the Capitol leading past the
doorway of the office Of Bob Gordon,
sergeant-at-arms.
Prince Robinson received pay check
for $50 today. and Immediately
turned it over upon its prosperous face
and inscribed in cramped letters on the
reverse the name OF one Of the capitol.s
most rapid hair cutters. Then he took It
to the wicket in the sergeant-at-arms' Of

inson counted the tens. but when he got
to the twos he nearly tainted. $50
Jaw. Mistah. TEX 'em away. Please

+. He took from his eyes q delicate pair
Of glasses and showed the bills away

showed them out again and Prince
lodged. He jumped back into the cor
ridor and pleaded:

you, Mistah? DON you know You
oughtn't to treat fren' like that
And then he ran. A member of the
Capitol police force gathered UP the col
lection of two dollar bills scattered on
the floor and started after Prince.
When he had caught him and tried to
put them in Princes pocket, the man
nearly had a fit. He begged and pleaded
not to be touched with the Egyptian

Janitor Changes Bills.
Finally a janitor came to the assist
ance Of his friend Prince. He was not
afflicted with voodoo ideas, and he took
the Ave offshoots Of the root Of all evil
and returned ten greasy one-dollar bills
Later Prince was seen sitting in the
House barber shop. and a newspaper
man tried to ask him what there is
about two-dollar bill which is so dread
full, except that they are scarce and
don't last long enough.
Prince mumbled something and went
away from there.

Eighty Without Collateral.

One hundred and eight persons were
released on collateral Saturday night
after being arrested. and nearly 80 per
cent Of them were charged with drunk
enness. Eighty unfortunates who fell
into the hands of the police Saturday
night were unable to gather the money
necessary for their release and spent
Sunday at the various station houses in
the city. BY far the greater portion Of
these were charged with violations of the
excise law.
Some Of the arrests were made for TAX
ing a drink out Of bottle while on the
street. This is a violation of the new
liquor law, and the police had to put
both charges against each of the men
they arrested.

Whether or not he proves to be a
classy baseball player, Jim Thorpe is
bound to prove a money maker for the
New York Giants. Here's a guess
that any day the Giants are feeling
hard up they can just advertise that
the big brave will play and they'll
clean up his salary in a single game.
1t is hardly likely that Thorpe would
long continue a big attraction in a
smaller city, unless he proved a good
player, but in New York it won't make
much difference.
