some really entertaining but by no
means noisy, shows. And the restau-
rants! The town never had had bet
ter. Everything was at moderate
price. You could get a sandwich fol-
five cents, and everything else in pro-
portion. Men found they could take
the whole family there to dinner and
not be bankrupted. Some declared it
was cheaper to go to the park and
dine than to remain at home.
In addition to the joys of good eat
ing, good surroundings, cleanliness
and decency, there were the delights
of boating and bathing and fishing.
Humphrey had changed everything
at the lakeside. All the boats were
new. All the lighthouses were neat
and well kept Even the beach was
gone over several times a day to re-
move anything or everything dropped
by careless persons.
Drove Away the Saloons.
From being neglected, Beach Park
suddenly sprang into favor Its for
was used as a basis for expressing its
new worth. The money came pour
ing in on Humphrey in a way to cheer
him for all the patience he had dis
played, and people began telling him
how they always knew he would
make a big success of the enterprise,
All the persons who went to the
park were not drinkers of soft stuff.
Various gentlemen, seeing what
crowds were being attracted to the
park, wished they could induce
Humphrey to let them have the bar
privilege at his newly-made gold
mine Some approached him on the
proposition, but never again. Then
they did what they considered to be
the next best thing. They opened sa-
looms across the broad highway from
the main entrance to the park. Some
of those saloons were pretty tough.
Humphrey did not like his saloon
He determined to get rid
of them. Rigging up powerful search

Der of thirsty gentlemen who jour
neyed out to the park the following
Sunday 1t was hot-frightfully hot
and their thirst had not been cooled
by the five-mile ride from the center
of the city in the crowded trolley
cars. They let out roar that was
unpleasant to hear. They scoffed at
the attendants who mildly suggested
that there were plenty of soft drinks
to be had.
The closing of the bar was bad
enough, but worse followed Gentle
men who sought the pleasures of the
dancing pavilion and cast aside their
coats and vests as they had been ac-
customed to do in order to be cooler
and more comfortable while they
danced, were fighting angry when in
formed that no one would be permit
ted on the floor unless properly clad.
Long and Trying Struggle.
Beach Park was a sad affair for the
rest of the season. The respectable
element would not go there because
of its general reputation, and the
rough element would not torture itself
in such a deadly dull place. Women
and children went there on summer
days and found relief from the heat
of the city and persons who loved
boating and fishing continued to give
their patronage to it, but the receipts
were decidedly less than under the
old regime. .
Next year Humphrey had a desper-
ate time. Every day meant loss,
and his capital dribbled away stead
lily. He had to make lot of popcorn,
old-fashioned candy and sugared pea
nuts to meet one weeks deficit, but
he went about his business as usual
and kept his own counsel.
The third year Humphrey was in
possession tested his courage to the
limit The days when the receipts
equaled the expenses were rare. The
days when the losses were big were
many. The popcorn man had to rake
and scrape and make sacrifices to

coNVIcTs PETITION.

A petition will come before the next
legislature of Pennsylvania bearing
some $4,000 signatures, a majority of
the convicts in the Eastern State peni-
Tertiary. The petitioners pray for the
prevention of the liquor traffic. They
respectfully aver from personal
knowledge of the debasing influence of
Intoxicating liquors, that fully 20 per
cent of crime within the state is di-
rectly attributable to their use, and
that the abolition of the sale of liquor
by the state would reduce crime at
least so per cent, if not more.
This unique and significant appeal
has caught the public attention and
the press of the country has given it
wide circulation.
