Many years ago a Mississippi steam
er On its way to New Orleans was
crowded with passengers, among whom
a score Of professions were represent
ed. 1t rained for days, the weather be.
ing Of the most dismal nature. A par.
ty Of young men growing tired Of the
monotony sought ,outxnew waysr fo1
amusement, Finding sienor Blitz reg.
istered as one of the passengers, they
hunted up the dapper little gentleman
and begged him to help them out
Blitz was always ready for anything
in the nature of fun and volunteered
to give them all the aid he could. He
started with them to find q subject OF
victim. Entering the cabin they saw q
clerical looking gentleman sitting on
a sofa reading book. Blitz winked
to his friends that he was the fellow
he wanted and straightway began q
display of his ventriloqsial skill. A cat
under the sofa emitted terrified
screech, but the clergyman continued
reading unmoved. He merely glanced
over the top Of his book and showed nc
further interest in the party. Then 8
cur snapped at his feet, but he did not
seem to hear him.
About this time Blitz found himself
annoyed by bee that continually buzz
ed at his ear. He slapped at it sew
eral times, but never hit it. Blitz was
on his mettle and worked harder than
ever before, but without any seeming
effect ON his subject, who remained
absorbed in his book. Meanwhile the
buzzing Of the bee became exasperat.

nuisance became unbearable. Sudden
" the truth flashed upon him. Abrupt
~ ceasing his attempts he faced his
mystified friends.

There's some one in this room who Is
a better ventriloquist than l."
And then the clerical looking pas.
senger laid aside his book, rose to his
feet and smilingly offered his hand.
How do you do, signor? I am Pro.

The joke is on me-" admitted Blitz
II know you by reputation as one OF
the finest ventriloquists living, but
never had the pleasure of meeting you
before. Let's you and me join forces
on this trip"
And didn't those two peerless mag'
clans turn that boat upside down! The
waiter who attempted to split water.

heard an awful groan from within,
with a prayer that he might be spared
the fat old gentleman at the table
jumped up with an imprecation and
kicked at the invisible dog that was
nipping his legs; the timid maiden
tainted at the squeaking Of mouse on
her chair; walters fell over one anoth-

D. w. Lawler is a gentleman Of cul-
ture and education. He would make a
good ambassador to Chile, and if he
wants the position and it is offered,
we see no reason why any democrat in
Minnesota should feel dissatisfied with
this recognition of prominent and
deserving democrat. It is a tribute
to Lawler g fighting ability that those
unfriendly to him should think of en-
dorsing him for such a place. To as
sumo, however, that such an apnoint-
ment would shatter the opposition
in this state which is based on funda-
mental things, is absurd. The men
who are not satisfied with the present
order of things will not turn aside be.
cause an attempt is made to remove a
strong antagonist.
The appointment has not as yet zen
made.

MIXES RELIGION AND POLITICS
Commissioner Brownlow Urges
Churchmen to Enter Civic Work.

A plea for more active participation
in civic work by mems organizations
of churches was voiced by District
Commissioner Louis Brownlow. in an
address last night before the MEMS
Society of Mount Vernon Place Meth
odist Episcopal Church.
Pointing out that citizens associa-
tions are concerned principally with
promoting the interests of the sections
which they represent, tn, Commission
er stated that there is a big opportunity
for mems church bodies to generalize
as it were, in city politics with the
object of bringing about a general i'm
provement in sociological conditions
He urged that it is the duty of church
people to fight for better civic condi-
tions. not alone within the church on.
day in the week, but out in the city
seven days in the week.
Commissioner Brownlow said that,
although there is sometimes criticism
of the mixture of religion and politics
he is one of those who believes that
politics does not hurt religion and that
religion never fails to improve politics
