 You should not stand bareheaded in front of that window" greeted Ali. son, almost roughly; and he closed it.
 Gail turned very sweetly to the mo. torman.
 Thank you," she said, and gave him the lever, then she walked back into the car. It had required some repres. sion to avoid recognizing that dicta- torial attitude, and Allison felt that she was rather distant, and wondered what was the matter; but he was a practical-minded person. and he felt that 1t would soon blow over

 He answered something or other, and the conversation was so obviously a tete-a-tete that Allison remained be- hind. Tim looked up at Allison with a eompiacent grin. as the latter sat beside him.
 Well, Eddie, l put in a plug for you" stated Tim, with the afr of one looking for approval

 The girls and Ted came back pres ently. and, with their arrival, Gail brought Rev.

 heard something of this marvellous tale before, and it had interested her. She had been groping for an explana- tion of Allison's tremendous force.
 That was a wonderful achieve ment. How did he accomplish it?"

 Tim German, as Allison's personal representative, was right on the spot.
 Come on out" he invited. and opened the door. whereupon the three sponsible-looking men immediately arose

 So it was that Edward E.

THE BOOSTERS CAME BACK.

Saturday.

Last Thursday night chicken
thief invaded the hennery at the a.
l.. Abbey home on the West Side and
carried away about fifteen of Mr.. Alb
bey's fine blooded chickens, Barred
Plymouth Rocks. Among them were
three fine roosters, which were
worth considerable money. The
next day after The haul was made,
Mr.. Abbey was telling about it on
the streets, and stated that if who
ever took the chickens would only
return the three ROSTERS he
wouldn't say a word about the other
members of the flock stolen. And
10 and behold on Saturday morning
when Mr.. Abbey went out to the chic
ken house to feed the chickens that
were left behind he found the three
roostars had been returned. Surely
someone with q conscious, took the
chickens, and we presume he is en-
titled to Carnegie medal, instead OF
six months at Hotel de Ellingson.

REED The HYPOCRITE
He Usually Talks for the Crowd
and Acts the Other Way When
the Time Comes.

Senator James A. Reed claims dis
tinction for having been a member OF
the fourflushing anti-lobby committee
in Washington. A few days ago a
committee was appointed in st. Louis,
with S. w. Fordyce, Jr.. as its chair
man, to look after the local end Of the
national campaign. The committee
was picked by Reed and his associ-
ates. On this committee Is Warwick
NJ. Hough, who has a record as having
been a representative in Washington
OF the whiskey interests. Reed flags
the lobbyists and turns around and
puts one on his committee.
Reeds attack Of Jones of the Har-
vester Trust, also his attack of the
Clayton law, are in the Congressional
Record and would make good reading
at this time, especially to refute his
claim that he has been a supporter Of
| Wilson.
Reed, as a member of the Judiciary
Committee of the Senate, told fellow
senators that he would fight the con
firmation of Justice Brandeis to the
bitter end and 1t was largely because
Of his opposition that the long fight
against Brandeis was started. But
Reed capitulated, with election in
sight, Just as he has reversed himself
on hundreds of other questions. AS a
prominent senator from the Southwest
said: "That man Reed car make a
most eloquent speech on any bill. but
he usually votes the other way"

ions and the scenery, but a man can

81 believe the first duty Of every
good citizen this year is to join the
movement to change Washington from
a word-factory to q ~deed-factory. For
one, have had enough alpaca coat,
and chautauqua, and college rhetoric
and the oleaglnous Josephus to last me
for one hundred years.
Colonel Roosevelt did the sensible
and patriotic thing last January when
he indicated that he was ready to
jump In and support any good Republic
can who could defeat Wilson.
The colonel saw what was wrong
at Washington from the very start.
Mr.. Wilson means to be sincere and
he wants to do what Is right, but he
was brought up on a college campus.
He was accustomed for years to be
dogmatic and oracular before a lot OF
college boys who couldn't talk back,
He finally came to believe that when
aver he said a thing, 1t was SO.
Accordingly. when a Tampico crisis
or q Lusitania crisis, or a railway
strike crisis confronted che good doc
