LAW MAY, NOW HOLD UP IT'S
HEAD IN NEW YORK.

Every honest man in New York
must breathe more freely now that
Lieut. Becker has been convicted for
the second time. The question before
innocence of one man, for the exist
ence of orderly and responsible gov
eminent in the city was involved.
Becker was the head of the branch
Of the police force charged with the
duty Of closing the gambling houses.
Instead Of doing his duty, he collected
hush money from some Of the gamb-
lers and had been in partnership with
the murdered Rosenthal. The latter
was killed just as he was about to re-
veal to the district attorney the rela-
tons between the police and the
gamblers. The men who did the
shooting were hired for the job, and
1.-The system" of which Becker was a
part strove TO protect them. But they
were found guilty and they have paid
the penalty of their crime. And now
the principal, the man who conceived
the murder and whose will brought 1t
about, has been convicted a second
time
Becker was the product Of the Tam
many system, the ruling motive OF
which was admirably described by
Richard Croker years ago when ne
said he was "Out for his pocket" all
the time. Police partnership with
vice and crime involves bargain,

and that there is an underground

cesses of government. Now That

CAN BEAT THE FRENCH.

In France, at least, the American
amateur golfers are at the top of the
heap. At Versailles they cleaned up"
all their rivals in the way sanguine
Americans hoped they might-but
without expecting tin England.
When four players were left in the
race three of them were Americans
and the fourth was an Australian.
Now two survive, and both are from
the United States. New England is
bound TO have the championship of
France, whether Ouimet, of Boston, or
Topping, of Greenwich, Conn, shall
prove the final victor today.
But France is a poor substitute, in
golf, for Great Britain, and the fact
that Ouimet, our young open"
champion, defeated Lord Charles
Hope, the Englishman who had held
the French championship, does not al
together square accounts for the down
fall of our best players at Sandwich.
That will have to wait for another

Two great tears shone in her eyes as she stood outside the wayside inn two tears so large that a young man passing on his motorcycle saw them clearly.
 Excuse me-" he said gently, ''but if you tell me all about 1t. perhaps can help you"
 The girl shook her pretty head.
 I've put a penny in the slot ma chine," she answered, "and nothing will come out''
 -Ah," said the young man, that's soon remedied"
 Drawing a penny from his pocket, he inserted it in the machine. Six times he tried with six different pen nies, but absolutely nothing happened. Then he rode away, poorer but hap pier.
 As he rounded the corner the girls mother appeared in the doorway.

If you were ever unfortunate enough to find a piece of chewing VI,c stick ing tenaciously to your shoe or your chair or your rug or any of your other belongings you probably came to the righteous conclusion that chewing gum was the most tenacious and stick fest substance in the world. There is one thing that will dissolve it com pletely and quickly. and that is gaso- line. So if ever again you are troubled by its unasked presence dissolve it with gasoline.

How toLive
 100 Years Is the Name of a New Book

Eugene Christian. P. s. D., the worlds greatest Food Scientist. has just published a new book called How to Live 100 Years
 This book tells you what to eat according to your age. your work and the time of the year. Itteach- es you how to select, how to combine and bow to proportion your food at meals as to establish perfect digestion and assimilation of food and per feet elimination of waste In other words, it teaches you how to cure all stomach and intestinal disorders by removing their causes. which is wrong eating.
 If you have indigestion. gas. fermentation, sour stomach or any such disorders after meal, this book tells you how to put the remedy your table at the next meal
 Dr. Christian shows that all animals except man live about eight times long as it takes them to get their growth. If man should do this he would
 live nearly 200 yeays, but civilized man dies at the average age of 39 He begins to lose his teeth his eyes and his hair, and drops ohis grave only few years after he is grown.
 Dr. Christian shows that 22 per cent of all the human beings born into the world die before they are one year old 22 per cent die before their fifth birthday. and more than half of the human race race die before they twenty-five.
 All other animals on the globe live eight times as long as it takes them to get their growth. Man breathes the same air. drinks the water, lives under the same sunshine. but differs from his brother animals only in his eating, therefore Dr. Christian shows conclusively that this appalling discrepancy must be account of his eating habits and he has proved that his theory is true by curing 1000 people within the past ten years by teaching them what to eat and how to eat How to Live 100 Years' gives the secret of his methods.
 This book does not disarrange or upset the family table. It teaches the housewife what foods the meal should be composed of. so as to make them chemically harmonious and perfectly digestible and healthy.

As he stepped off the train one of his old farmer friends remarked: George, l hear that your play failed in New ' York. " 'Yes," said Ade pleasantly, cit fail ed, and 1 guess it must have been pretty bad" "That may be true, !" said the farmer, ''but what l don't understand is how in thunder New York ever found it out"

AND PANSY
By HAROLD CARTER.

After Elizabeth and I were married we did not abandon our habit of mak- ing country excursions on Saturday afternoons. We always looked for. ward to the day when we should have a country home of our own. When we set forth we took the trolley car into the least urban part of the country, and then struck out across the fields.
 It is strange how long one can re- peat such journeys without ever re- beating ones route. It must have been a year after we were married that we found ourselves in little uf- known village, looking at an ivy-clad wall.
 Walls wreathed in ivy are plentiful enough, but not like this one. For ivy is usually planted at the side of a house. But there was no house here, nor ever had been-only the wall, ris- ing from it's foundation in the middle of field.
 Looking at old Michaers Folly, eh?" asked a voice behind us.
 We started, Elizabeth and I, for we had not seen the speaker approaching us. He stood still, looking medita- lively at us. He was a typical coun- try man. shrewd, somewhat uncouth, evidently gossipy.
 You didn't notice that brick cottage as you come along the pike, did you?" he inquired "That's old MichaeIs place. Born there, he was, and reck- on he'll die there. Old, we call him, though he can't be more than forty two or three. But he's Old Michael to us ever since Pansy Strother run of with that worthless Luke Buffum.
 You see, Michael and Pansy had known each other since they was kids together, and folks around here al- lowed that they'd get married some time. Michael worked powerful hard on his farm, and had saved tidy bit

of money by the time he was twenty five. Pansy was twenty then, the sweetest, prettiest girl in the village They were to have been married that fall
 "Pansy wasn't like us. Had sort of hankering after flowers and things. She always wanted an old house to live in-the sort of house that has old fashioned clapboards and dormer win dows, y know"
 Elizabeth stole a glance at me, and felt her hand tighten in mine. For we had always wanted a house like that, and. some day, we meant to get one.
 Well. Michael didn't rightly under stand her point of view, but he'd have done anything Pansy told him to. So, as she was particularly set on an old house, he determined to make the old ness before he built the house. So he dug foundation trench and set up that wall there, and planted English ivy against it.
 We'll have four walls up anyway, Pansy,' he told her, and then when we can afford to build, the ivy will be grown up to the top and waiting for us.'
 He'd just got one wall up and set out the ivy plants when Luke Buffum come along. He was travelling for some firm or other, and he made this his headquarters. He was a fashy city man, and 1t didn't take him long to spot Pansy as the prettiest girl in these parts.
 Michael? What chance would a slow. steady-going old fellow like Michael have with a snake like that Luke around? There, I'm calling Michael old again. He wasn't then, but he has been ever since she ran away with Luke. Married? Bless you, yes, friend; Pansy wasn't that kind. But we found afterward that he had wife and child in Buffalo, and she left him-and that was IS years ago. But Old Michael's Folly has been standing like that, ever since that day.

PINEDALE

The people of Plnedale expert
 enced quite an exciting time Fri
 day. On Thurday, Delroy Owens
 and Miss Florence Peck. a lady visiting here from New Jersey,
 were out riding, MT. Owens look ing for a horse. Miss Peck not
 being accustomed to long rides,
 got very tired, and MT. Owens
 wishing to make a large circuit,
 told the lady to go down a cer- tain wash to a corral and there wait for hlm. Mr. Owens was gone longer than he expected, and on his arrival at the corral there was no girl. Owens began a search at once and confined it until dark without success. He then rushed for Pinedale and spread the word, and about mid night a posse left in search, and put in the rest of the night. When morning came, MT. Owens came in to see if Miss Peck had found her way in, but there was no word from her yet. Then Owens spread the word all over, and the men turned out en masse to SCOUT the country, but about 6:30 a. m. Miss Peck found her way in to the Ranger station, recognized the place and was soon home. Some of the boys learning of her safe arrival went out upon Turkey hill with some dynamite and were success ful Tn getting in most of the men, but some had gone too far. These came struting in all hours of the day. some not getting in until about 10 D. m.. the last ones getting word at the Willow Wash ranger station of her arri- val; these were out on the search more than 20 hours. However. Miss Peck came to the corral and stayed there all night. but no MT. Owens put in an appear ance. Miss Peck spent a very lonesome night and her greatest worry was over MT. Owens, SUD- posing something serious had happened to him. Miss Peck no doubt will have a very thrilling to tell her New Jer- sey friends.

Bismarck and old Ale.

Bismarck. though he could take three-quarters of a pint of cham pagne at a draft and keep his head, was not proof against the effects of English ale. When in London in the seventies he paid a visit to great brewery in South wark street, famous for it's "old English ales" as well as for its as- sociation with Dr. Johnson and Mrs. Thrale. After being shown how the ale was made he was re- quested to sample the quality of some "ten-year-old." He did so and was surprised on leaving the brew cry to find that the road rose up to meet him.-London Chronicle.
