some will engage in one business AMI

on 1t that all will obey the law or, else
they must get out at the first infringe
ment that comes to my notice.
When James Sheridan was asked con-
cerning his future activities he said,
"Well, l don't know yet just what L

more than thirty years and 1 have
never been arrested and have never
been drunk in that time. 1 am quite
ready to quit the game and the closing
down time cannot come any too quick
to suit me. AS to all this talk about
whether the last day according to law
is December 81 or the first day Of
January of the new year, that is silly
and is of so little consequence that it is
not worth considering. Even if the
new law does allow one day of grace,
none of us have city licenses beyond
midnight, December 81, and it would
be foolish to talk about license for
one day, even if it could be legally
granted, which I don't believe can be
done. Besides, when fellow has been

Bart Petrini will put in soda foun-

Frank Heberling of the Pullman will
operate pool and billiard hall and

"Shorty'' Mangnall expects to handle
candies and cigars and make his pool
hall as attractive as possible.
j. G. Richardson of the Silver Club
and Malloy and Dore of the Bismark,
in reply to an inquiry from the Post,
say that they have not yet fully de-
termined on a program after the be.
ginning of the new year.
All agree that they have gotten rid
of practically all of their stock, some
declaring Thursday noon -that, aside
from a little keg beer they could carry
out their entire stock in two suit cases.
This is 1916, boys, and Glenwood has
now entered on an era such as was new
er known here before, and all seem well
resigned to the new conditions and de-
termined to give the new plan a fair
trial. -. +.

sympathy and understanding which now
separates the two great classes in mod

not how the other half lives, but, what
is vastly more important how the other
half thinks. If we really could know
how the other half thinks, we should
see, perhaps, some reason in his think

in the getting together which is 80 In

European soldiers get together in the

No soldier expects to win victory
by thrusting his fellow soldiers back

lives. The partnership of warfare gives
us hint as to possible partnership

MYSTERIES OF MIRA"
 AT KEENEY'S TODAY

The Mysteries of Myra'' is the big drawing card at Keeney's today and tOmOrrOW. Howard EsterbrOOk and Jean Southern play the stellar roles in this serial and in this chapter espe- cIally, they earn the title of the stars with a thousand lives Today only, Hobart Bosworth will be seen in '"The Way of the World" This picture, as the title indicates, is the story of the life of man in all it's steps from a millionaire to rauper. The other pie lures showing are first releases of Al order.
 Heading the vaudeville this week is the act of Lcvina and Mathews in an act entitled 'The COnjurer and the Tramp" Miss Mathews, the sleight of hand artist, meets the tramp and at once sets in to mystify him with nu- merous new tricks which he unwit- tingly exposes amid the cheers of the audience. Judging from the way this clever pair registered the first few nights, they bid fair to make a hit with the man in the box office where ever they appear. The people of New Britain should not let this chance slip to see one of the best sleight of hand acts that has ever been to New Brit ain.
 Another act of a strong character is the novelty act of Cecile Eldrid and Carr. Charlie Chaplin furnishes the hilarity and scores hit every time he shows lis face around the scenes. It would be impossible to give a re- view of this act because so many things happen in such short time, but it is an act that is sure to please.
 Last but not least is the offering of Louis SOnetti, the famous baritone. Louis delivers his songs in a pleas ing manner.
