GOING DRY.

Billy Sundays message to Chicago

three balls and two strikes called on

interview some OF tho downtown sa-

Three balls and two strikes isn't

the women the things hit. Who suf-

going to do? Just stop It. put her foot
down and her vote down. Three balls

concerned down here in the loop, 1t

CHARITY CLOSE TO HOME
Smiths Seemingly Generous Action
Was Not Altogether a Matter Of
Philanthropy.

Senator Morris Sheppard of Texas
remarked the other day that Philan-
thropy was not always actuated by a
beautiful and generous heart, and told
this story to back up his statement:
One afternoon a bunch of congenial
spirits were talking about the various
leading citizens OF the town when a
parsimonious party by the name OF
Smith was smilingly referred to.
Speaking Of Smith," i%nterposed an
other OF the bunch, Il met him yes
terday afternoon going around town
with a petition trying to collect money
for a poor widow that she might pay
her rent.
Whats that" exclaimed the
amazed crowd, all of whom knew
Smith. collecting funds for a widows
rent! Watch out for the millennium
at 6 a. m. tomorrow"
ooh. no. it isn't as bad as that" ex
planned the other. You see, Smith
owns the house that the widow lives
in"

ORDER HAD HIM I'm THE AIR"
Boatswain's Mate Considerably Mud
died by Command That Was
Entirely New 10 Him.

In all the naval services tradition is
strong, AS Chief Boatswain McCar-
thy, L. S. ~, has shown IN an article in
The Proceedings of the United States
Naval Institute" the adherence to Gus
tom extends to the manner in which
the boatswain's calls are varied for
different occasions, and even, IN the
DID navy. at least, it extended Il the
way In which the officers gave their
orders.
The language used in passing words
was the vernacular Of the sailor rather
than academic English, and the officer
who did not know that usually got poor
results from the boatswain's mate, who
had his own ideas about passing the
word, and got muddled In interpreting
any unusual order.
On n occasion, the officer Of the
morning watch gave this order:
"Boatswaip's mate, scrub down with
%rapidity." This was a new one, and
after causing the officer to repeat the
order three times. the boatswainis
mate became desperate. He grabbed
a deck bucket, and forced 1t into the
hand of the nearest apprentice, whom
he started on his way with a push tina
sent the youngster reeling, and fol
lowed him with this shout:

When Libraries BUY Books

1t comes rather as a surprise to find
that the lists of some of the publish
ers are already exhausted. says a Lon
don correspondent. 1t is difficult, the
old-fashioned publishers say, to per-
suade the libraries to buy books in
anything like large quantities between
April and October. and the publish
ing business has come to depend to
greater and greater degree on the
whim of the libraries. There is no
doubt a good deal to be said on the
other side OF the question, and dur
ing the last few years more than one
publisher has been bringing out i'm
portant books during the slack rather
than the busy season. 1.
