FIRST DRY SUNDAY
FORTY-FOUR YEARS
Closing of Saloons Resulted in the Low
est Crime Record in the History
of the City.

CHICAGO, Oct 11-The Sunday closing
of saloons in Chicago for the first time in
A years, resulted yesterday IN the lowest
crime record in the history of the police de-
partment
The police found few violations of the
closing order Some arrests were made in
places where the proprietors ignored the
clock Saturday night.
A song of triumph and praise went up
from the churches Ministers praised the
closing order and predicted the ultimate
doom of the brass-railed bar. There was
increased attendance at the churches. Parks
attracted larger crowds than usual. Nov
ing picture shows reaped a harvest lee
cream parlors 1ourished. Billiard and pool
halls saw new faces Sightseeing automo-
biles were busy. Some enterprising neigh
borhood stores opened their doors to cater
| to the spend -of-money-on-Sunday habit.
Drug stores were visited by large num-
! bers of persons who sought to see if the
| law could be evaded. The police had few
reports of instances where the evasion sue
ceeded. Many pharmacists were confronted
with old prescriptions calling for liquor and
other ingredients Most of them. however,
hid behind the customary injunction print
ed at the bottom of prescription blanks:

Autumn Philosophy.

Manchester Mirror and Farmer.)
To some people the autumn months
bring chiefly thoughts of decay. They
observe the fruition of crops and veg
citation and the falling of leaves, and
the end of season impresses them
with thoughts of decline. In cold eli
mates the autumn brings foreboding
thoughts of chill winter winds and
SHOWS.
But to people who are able to live
from day to day in the present, no sea-
son seems more joyous. It is the period
of harvest when man IS labor has
brought its complete product, and there
are rejoicings over tasks finished and
toll rewarded. Nature puts on hel
most golden colors. THESE are tran.
sient, but cne should think of the pre-
sent beauty rather than the future col
lapse.
In temperature the months of autumn
bring relief from heat and offer the
best tonic of the year. The people
who postpone their vacation from tn,
heat of summer have their outing at
period when they can enjoy outdoor-lif,
and travelling with less fatigue.

A Lesson III Patience
cleveland Plain Dealer)

This is the month for planting the
spring bulbs. The ground is carefully
prepared and thousands of crocus, hya-
cinths. tulips. daffodil and other bulbs
are buried Then come the frosts, and
the snow, and the ground freezes as
hard as flint
Throughout the winter the bulbs sc
snugly enough awaiting the awakening
And in March, before the first leaf buds
have shown green on the tres the ero-
euses and the snowdrops will burst into
bloom. They will be followed through
cut the spring, by other bloom of au-
tumn planted bulbs. Thousands of door
yards will be made CHEEKY; nearly every
city and village will be beautifed and
bettered.
Throughout the long cold months,
December, January, February, there will
be a subconscious feeling of expectancy.
The man who has planted bulbs will re
member them even when the days are
darkest or coldest. He Will think of
the dormant life he has buried out un-
der the deep snow drifts aud will look
forward always to the time when that
life shall show its lavish beauty. Such
maa is patient, for bulb planting
teaches 4 fine lesson of patience.
The spring planter watches impatient
ly every day for the green eotyledon.
to appear above the carefully tended
soil. The autumn planter merely plants
and waits. He is neither nervous no
| excited. He knows his reward is Ger
tain. And in this knowledge he is con
tent TO wait comfortably and happily.
The moral seems to be that everyon
should plant bulbs this month.

Bright skies and still air presented
almost perfect conditions for playing
the third world s series baseball game
between the Red Sox and Phillies at
Braves field today. The temperature
was low early this morning, but the
weather steadily increased in warmth
and light west wind blew across the
playing field.
The game had as a setting crowd
which officials predicted would prove to
be the greatest attendance in the an
mails of baseball, upwards of $4,000
spectators being looked for. The crowd
had its beginning in small crowds of
persons who gathered at the gates last
evening. Daybreak found a group of
somewhat more than 100 most of them
boys. The opening of the days car
service caused the line to grow rapidly
and when the gates opened at 10
0 clock it extended far down the street.
Most of those who waited sought
seats in the third base bleachers at 81.
There were 10000 such Arrangements
to care for the bleacher rights at sc
cents each provided for the admission
of about 5000 more. About 25,00C
seats were reserved.
