The ANGEL AND THE DEVIL

The ANGEL AND THE DEVIL
The devil he stood at the gates of hell
And yearned for an angel above;
And he sighed, Come down, sweet
siren, and learn
The lesson of passion and love.
The angeles she leaned from the gates
of gold
(The devil was fair in her eyes,
And she thought it would be very nice
Could lift him up to the skies.
my dear Mr. Devil" she softly re-
piled,
My home is of comfort and ease,
And I am very we'll satisfied where l
And soft you'll pardon me-please,
81 hardly dare venture to go so far,
Do you, sir, come up to me,
For l am an angel in heaven while
Are only the devil, you see.'
TOO we'll that know an angel you
are"
The devel with cunning replied,
''And that is the reason covet you
For safeguard at my side"
You'll find the atmosphere balmy and
And a heart that is wholly thine,
Here are red roses and passionate
bliss
And kisses and maddening wine.
t'Oh, come; angel, come. I'll stretch
out my arms
And Graw you to infinite rest,
And all the delights of this beautiful
rell,
Asleep, you shall drink on my
breast"

MOTHERS IDEA OF
A Peaceful DAY.

In the November Woman's Home
Companion Mary Haeton Worse writes
another of her amusing adventures in
childhood entitled THE Peaceful Day.
Following is an extract in which the
mother OF three real normal children
expresses her idea of a peaceful day:
"A peaceful day meant freedom
from squawks, from too-loud noises,
from insistently monotonous and
nerve-racking noises, which meant
that somehow or other you must be
out of earshot of JAMES eternal tom
tommings, and the raids of Sarah on
Robert, and Robert on Sarah and
Jamie on Sarah, and so on throughout
the six possible combinations. This all
somehow or other had to be avoided
"She wasted a peaceful day be-
cause she had to write paper for the
cl,l1 on Woman in Civic Life To-day,
and to write. Alice discovered, a paper
on even so fruitful topic as this re-
quired freedom from interruption. 1t
required freedom from all those little
casual and beloved trimmings in and
out of the children, freedom from
even the various. Mother, where is

UNCLE SAM WILL De
SELLING LIQUOR SURE

ATLANTA, Ga, Nov. 5.-Uncle Sam
is about to sell 500 gallons of moon
shine liquor in Atlanta at S1.10 per
gallon, but with certain restrictions.
While offering the whiskey for sale, it
is no secret that if an Atlanta man
buys any of it in commercial quanti-
ties he would probably be arrested as
:. blind tiger before he got block
away from the federal building. Conse-
quently the only hope of Uncle Sam
is to sell it to some dealer from Florida
or Tennessee. Alabama is out of the
running, as her liquor laws are now SO
strict that no liquor can be shipped
in, except one gallon at a time.
If Uncle Sam can get no purchaser
at $1.1O per gallon, the 500 gallons Of
moonshine whiskey will be poured out
into the sewer.
What celebration the sewer rats
will have il the disposition of the Ii
quor takes this course, it would re-
duire the mind of highly imaginative
genius to conjecture.

And she clasped him with arms OF
snow,
And while she was striving to draw
him up,
The lower she seemed to go.

AS he bore her on PASSIONS swell.
When an angels arms have embraced
me but once,
She belongs to the devil in hell"

SNAP MEETING OF BRIDGE COM LESION
 NAMES ENGINEERS
Movements of Special Board Are Guarded With
 Secrecy

Mystery surrounds the action of the 9tratford avenue bridge commission in selecting the engineer for the new bridge. At a meeting held last night Greiner 6 Whitman of Baltimore. Md, were named. Secretary Blaclkham of the commission had recently declared that the commission would postpone its meeting for at least ten days be- cause Of the death of the father of Conlmissioner Coulter. Last night, however, the commission had hur- ried meeting and the engineers were chosen.
 It is said that members of the com mission favor the plan suggested by City PIanner John fNoIen to have a ' shaped approach from the east, one starting at Nichols street and the other iii a straight line from the pres ent Stratford avenue approach.
 A bond issue of $4O0,o 900 was re- gently granted to build the brid ge but the leaders of. the present administra- ton have decided that this sum is not enough to provide for the shaped approach and the engineers fee if City Engineer Terry does none of the work.
 This explains the presence of City Clerk Robinson at Hartford and nnenl- bers of the legislative committee at Hartford yesterday arguing in favor of state aid for the new bridge,

Ask Common Pleas
 Court to Pass On Suit
 Of Gaffney vs. DeIbridge

The common pleas court has been asked to pass upon the suit brought by Loren Delbridge, clerk of the board of assessors, against John J. Gamney of the Progressive Printing Go. Gaffney obtained Judgment in a justice court against De1bridge for $5s and costs but Delbridge obtained an further prosecuting the claim.
 It was alleged that the decision of Justice Frank P. Munich was Illegal because he had lost jurisdiction by not properly continuing the case. When the justice assigned the case for the second time Attorney Greenstein, for De1bridge, warned him not to proceed but the justice did not heed this.
 The original suit was brought against Delbridge last November to recover for printing alleged to have been unpaid for.
