What day is it? No, it isn't one of
the dog days. We thought of that,
too, but the artist says that's wrong.
He says we're getting warm, though,
because it has SOMETHING to do
with the weather.
We give it up. What day IS it?
The artist promises to tell us the
answer Monday, Feb. 2.
If you haven't solved it by then
yourself, you can see the answer in

The amateur does-her legs shak-
ing under her and the wonder in her
head if she will fall on her face when
she stoops over. If she does fall, so
much the better-it will mean more
fun for the audience. In any event,
the pathetic spell is broken and the
audience, convinced it has witnessed
a greedy amateur hunting a piece of
change, bowls at her disappointment
when she throws the money down.
Such tricks are resorted to any
moment the mood of the audience
changes from the boisterous to the
serious. The curtain is raised dis
closing amateurs grouped, apparently
unconsciously, on the stage, but real
ly placed there by the manager before
the curtain went up. Boys are shoot
ing craps, a man who seems to be a
stage carpenter is saving wood, and
runs. A girl is fixing another girls
dress.
And then when each has done his
or her turn, the entire crowd is as
'sembled on the stage and the man

and big bags marked from 1 to are
held up to view and presented to the
amateurs as the audience voices it's
approval, but to prevent heart failure
on the part of any amateur who wins
prize" the management tells them
in advance that there amt nothing
in the bags. This is part of the game"
And he collects the bags afterwards.
1t is a hard school and surely, if
performer survives it and has the
grit to fix up an "act" and try for
professional time, he or she deserves
success.
And if they have not the grit, it is a
splendid school to discourage the

Of the organization. John b. Coffey,

Among the various things under dis.
cussion was the proposed registration
law as drafted by Mr. Gchlhar. This
bill with a few minor changes, was
endorsed. II was recommended at the
same time that the county get ten per
cent Of the fee asked for issuing game
and fish licenses. This is to cover the
cost Of mailing out the licenses and
other incidental expenses, Ten per cent
for licenses issued in this county
would net $3.50 As it is the state

postage in mailing, and the gamo com.
mission gets all the money.
County judges, trepsucrs. and com.
nissioners were In session at the same

the uniform system Of accounting. This
was done on account Of the cost Of OK
perting the books, which has not been

Salonika, via London, Dec. 4.-(De-

himself the Ottoman empire IS "man Of
destiny" forced the sultan into the
European war.
This individual is Enver Pasha, bet
ter known to the world as Enver Bey,
the real inspiration of the revolution
which hurled Abdul Hamid from his
throne.
As minister of war and leader Of the
Young Turkish party, Enver is the Or
iginatOr, executor and moving genius
Of supreme effort to free his country
Of all foreign interference in its inter
nal affairs.
When l left Constantinople ne had
succeeded in rousing the people to a
fever of enthusiasm for his program.
He is now in Egypt.
II is his ambition to bring his me-
teOric career to climax by becoming
Turkey Is great liberator, the restorer Of
its lost African provinces.
Already he is a popular idol.
To his power Of swaying public opin'
ion, Enver adds the enormous advan.
tage TO himself of complete domination
over the sultan, whose favorite niece he
married.
Talaat Bey, minister c. finance and
the interior, is his closest ally. Through
Talaat no has already taken over all
foreign financial systems in Turkey.

II was he who ordered that all sub
jects Of the allied powers at Smyrna,
Beirut, Jaffa, Hersina and Alexandret-
ia be held as hostages, under penalty
Of death in case any Of the ports nam
ed were bombarded.
Immediately upon the sultan s dee.
Iaration Of war, the Young Turks, at
Enver'B direction, expelled all ambassa-
doTs representing the allied nations at
Constantinople.
Relieved Of the restraining Influence
OF these diplomats presence, the Yong
Turkish leaders proceeded with their
anti-foreign campaign by permitting the
mob occupancy Of all foreign shops
schools and institutions.

bic Gallic superintendent a former in
mate of Turkish mad house.
The spirit of eradication Of foreign
influences was not always ludicrOus in
its manifestations, however.
Only American Ambassador Morgan
thau's prompt action prevented the
nuns of French school in CONSTANT
nople from losing everything they pos
sessed.
The United States representative
learned in advance OF the Young Turk s
intention to eject the nuns and seize all
their funds and property. He arrived
at the school ahead Of the police and
when the latter appeared, refused to
admit him until he had communicated
with government officials. Then ne OBJ
tanned a stay Of 10 days, which gave
the nuns time to conceal money and
valuables. They escaped unframed.
Only a few years ago Enver Pasha
was merely a military attache at Turk
ish embassy in Berlin. In 1908 he re-
turned to Turkey, joined the Young
Turkish organization, donned peasants
clothing and travelled from village to
village, making speeches and recruiting
the army which deposed Abdul Hamid.
Later he was the hero Of the war in
TripOli.
He overthrow Kiamil Pasha IS minis
try when it proposed to cede Adrianople
to Greece.
He has always had the ear of Ger
man officialdom. 1t was he who ar
ranged for the reorganization of the
Turkish army by Germans, General
Won Der Goltz was assigned to the
task.
Always Enver was looking toward
the fulfilIment Of his ambition to be-
como the great liberatOr, the Turkish
empire g man Of destiny"
This Turkish "war lord" is a dap
per parsonage. He is always dressed
in the height of fashion. He is always
carefully shaven except for a carefully
curlej, waxed military mustaehe.
His enemies--and few in Turkey care
to b9 known as sucE-say his rise has
been mainly accidental and predict that
the present war will lead to his fall
Whether really a great fighter OF
not, however, he unquestionahly is an
adrot diplomat.
One great danger is ahead OF Enyel
Pasha and the Young Turks. This dan
ger is that the Germans and Turks
alike will be defeated by the allies. Al
the moment the people have every con
fidence in their leaders, Envor above
all, but wise prognostigators do moi
think they could weather the storm Of
indignation which would ensuc if THEN
