Romance
Is Eternal
The Sequel to the Bishops
Story.
By R. B. SHELTON

The fishing was bad. Even the
judge, who had whipped the pools
along the Little Beaver for years,
could not remember a day when the
trout had ignored the tempting flies
50 persistently and annoyingly.
When they gathered on the bank
Of the stream for lunch-the judge,
the bishop and the banker - the
subject of fishing, after a few tart
remarks by the Judge and the bank
er which made the bishop elevate
his eyebrows in mild reproof, was
t~actfully avoided.
So eager we're they not to men
ton or even think Of those miser-
able trout that they talked of every
thing, anything, and finally the con-
versation drifted into an uncharted
channel.
Romance" said the Judge dicta-
torially, taking up a remark Of the
banker, els dead. There is no room
for it in this hustling age. 1t has
gone the way of sentiment and old
time courtesy and the gentlemen of
the old school,"
"Good radiance to it," said the
banker lazily. "Lct it 20. It has
given way to better things-good
horse sense, for instance"
The bishop looked at the purling
water. He was a gray haired man,
with kindly eyes ard the most win
ming smile. He was smiling now as
he turned to the two men.
"Iou are both wrong said he.
with deep conviction. "Romance is
eternal. You can't kill it with a
club or with hustle. But, of course,
YOU two would not admit it even if
YOU saw it."
The Judge bristled, the banker
reused himself, and his pipe glowed
like a blast furnace.
"Romance..' grunted the Judge,
with carefully unpleasant emphasis.
"You old clustered dreamer, YOU
want to rub elbows more with the
world"
"Dollars and cents, dollars and
cents,' chantod the banker. "That's
what the world is really after"
The bishop smiled with patient
liberation. "Dear, dear, I'm glad |
haven't the perspective of you two"
he said. "What a queer world YOU
see through your black goggles! Ro-
nance! Why, that's what makes
the world go round"
The banker and the Judge *
changed knowing winhs. They look
ed at the bishop with unconcealed
pity.
"speed up a bit and catch up
with the procession" the banker adj
vised.
"Perhaps you're the ones that are
behind it, the bishop suggested,
with a chuckle. "That reminds
me-" he continued. "Just twenty
five years ago, on this very spot,
when I was a young minister, l was
fishing here alone. You know Rob-
ert Harding, of course, YOU two,"
he interrupted himself-"fnc, cyn-
lcal beggar like YOU; never saw any
romance in life and is all dollars
and hustle, isn't be-"
"Well, SO he Is" erovlcd the
Judge. "What;s Robert Harding

those two, and they jumped into d
canoe one morning and padded
down here and got me to marry
them"
"Wouldn't have thought it was in
him. said the banker. "Hello.
Who's this:"
Down the stream came a canoe
driven by the powerful strokes Of
the mar at the paddle. In the bow
was an attractlve-a decidedly at
tractive-girl, who also essaved 10

counted for little except as "moral

As soon as the man in the ar-

group on the bank he stopped pad

and swung the craft to the bank.

WAY DOWN IN ARIZONA.

A travelling salesman who goes into

iting the w. C. T. u. booth at the Pan.
ama-Pacif1c exposition, asked what We
knew Of the results of prohibition in
Arizona. Miss Brown, the director, re-
peated some of the statements which
had come to her from residents and
travellers, not at all knowing his atti.
tude in the matter. Then he told her
that he had been in all parts of the
state, having gone over the territory
for fourteen years. He said: You
cannot exaggerate changed conditions.
In the mines the accidents have de-
creased 80 per cent, the efficiency has
more than doubled, and the physical
appearance of the communities has
greatly improved. The faces of men
look far fresher, healthier and happi-
er. Business has improved greatly.
Merchants and other business men
who formerly opposed prohibition on
the ground of injury to business are
now its greatest boosters and would
not allow a return to old conditions.
Prohibition has come to stay in Ari-
zona." The visitor admitted that he
had always been accustomed to take
his glass of beer and liked a glass of
wine with his meals, but declared
there is not n argument for the con
tinuance of the liquor traffic.

LESS CRIME IN NEW YORK;
ANTl-GUN LAW CREDITED
Police Commissioner of New York
Points to Better Record.

The effect of the Sullivan law and
similar restrictive measures is notice
able In New York Police Commissioner
Woods report for 1915. A marked de-
crease In the number Of felonies is
shown. The Sullivan law prohibits
having a pistol In ones possession,
even in the home, without a permit.
There were 246 murders in the city
in 1915 as compared with 257 In 1914
and 2S6 In 1913.
For 1915 arrests were made In 156
cases; 166 In 1914 and 1877 in 1913. For
all felonies the arrests numbered 23,171
as compared with 23,62S for the pre-
vious year.
Commissioner Woods lays stress upon
the number of convictions obtained
during the year, the highest record
ever obtained by the department, he
reports. The convictions were placed
at 161, 121, or 1894 per zen Of the
cases disposed of. In 1914 the per-
centage was 1856, in 1913 1857 and in
1912 1852.
OF the murders committed 1913 were
with firearms. The effect of the Sulli-
van law is particularly noticeable In
this respect. In 1914 the murders by
shooting numbered 154, and 1853 for the
previous year. Burglaries decreased
progressively throughout the year.
Grand larcenies decreased throughout
the first three-quarters, but increased
during the last quarter.

LIQUOR MEN AND LABOR.

WEN AMI LA6Oh.
Before the convention of the Ameri-
can Federation of Labor there wal a
demand by the liquor interests or or
CARNATIONS identified with them, that
the American Federation of Labor
line up with the liquor men in their
fight against prohibition. Mr.. Charles
Stelzle, writing in the Continent, says
that the atmosphere of the convention
was SO decidedly unfriendly to such
action that the liquor men were
easily persuaded to drop the entire
question. Throughout the conven
tion," continues Mr.. Steele, the liquor
men were strangely quiet, refraining
from taking any part in any Of the
discussions, for fear of ~arousing the
enmity of anybody whose opinions
might be controverted.
"a mass meeting for the purpose OF
discussing the relation of labor to the
saloon was held on the first Sunday
afternoon of the convention, and was
attended by about one thousand per-
sons. With the use of government
statistics and logic which appealed to
the workers, facts were presented
which battered down the arguments of
the liquor men that the abolition of
the saloon would create a labor panic.
THE statement that the labor men
in England had mo- only organized a
labor officials temperance fellowship
with which the best leaders were iden-
titled, but that bartenders, brewery
workers and others in the liquor in
dustry were not considered worth or
ganizing by the British Trades con-
gress, had a marked effect on the au-
dience."

ABSORBS GERMAN CASES..
Sodium Thiosulphate Used by Allies tc
circumvent Foes.

The armies of the allies are using
sponges or gauze soaked with some So
luton to absorb the chlorine and bro
mine gases employed by the Germans
In trench warfare. Ordinary "hypo,'
or sodium phosphate, is widely used
for this purpose. and 1t gives generally
good results except that the reaction
between the hypo and chlorine or bro
mine liberates hydrochloric and sui
phuric acid.
These acids, the Scientific American
says, a be successfully neutralized
by adding sodium carbonate to the
hypo solution, making the mixture as
follows: C~rystallized sodium carbonate
(decahydrate), sixty parts; crystallized
hypo pentahydrate), fifty-two parts
and water 100 parts.
Drying of the solution can be pre-
vented by the addition of glycerol.
