COLD SLEUTE"

The first of the five cent libraries to achieve widespread fame was the series published under the title of "Old Sleuth," and written by Harlan P. Halsey, who was born seventynine years ago, today. MT. Halsey origin ated the five cent detective thriller, and every week for long period of years he contributed a new chapter to the amazing adventures and hair breadth escapes of his hero, "Old Sleuth." The original "Old Sleuth" died in Brooklyn a few years ago. He was an honored citizen of the City of Churches and was for some time a membec. of the Board of Education. MT. Ha1sey's chief rival in the nickel detective story field was Nick Car ter," but a number of authors have contributed to this famous series. "Old King Brady was another of the de- tective heroes of an earlier generation of boys. and there were several others who entered the field and sought to share shonors with MT. HalseE's "Old Sleuth." The detective story long the favorite type ofijuvenile fiction. grad ually lost its hold, and was superseded by tales of such youthful heroes as Frank Reade, Frank Merriwell and Fred Fearnot. Then came the ''mov- ies' and the nickel libraries were giv- en a knockout blow from which they have never recovered.

TEUTONS DOUBT
 NAVAL VICTORY

Books dealing with all phases of the var havet had tremendous sale in
 Germany, Nand practically every writer of any prominence in the Kaiser's em- pire has produced, at least one volume or pamphlet of this sort. One of the latest of these contributions to cur rent military literature is from the pen of Anton Fendrich, whose novels have won for him a place in the front rank of feuton writers of fiction. The novelist is lavish in his praise of Ger many's military and naval leadeers, and especially of Admiral von Scheer. chief of the Kaiser's high seas fleet and the "hero'' of the battle of Jut- land. While firmly holding to the opinion that his friend, the Admiral, won great victory in the naval bat tie with t1e English, Herr Fendrich admits that there is much scepticism on that point among his countrymen. Immediately after the battle the nov elist went in person to congratulate Admiral von Scheer. "On my return to Berlin the first question asked me, '' he says, twas, Did we really win the North Sea battle or did the English ? To this cynicism,I I replied with curse. Two days later came the second ad- miralty report, announcing the loss of the Lutzow. and the Rostock. So. you see," people said to me, some thing was being kept back. Evidently the English spoke truth in saying that we abandoned the field of battle.' And so the legend of defeat increases"

Hoseman Aaron M. Hughes of En- zine company No. 10 of the Bridgeport fire department, has been suspended on charges of intoxication while on duty. He will have a hearing before the fire commissioners at their meet ing Wednesday night. When Hoseman Hughes returned from his supper Thursday night, Capt.

WILSON DEFEAT 'UNTHINKABLE

Support for President Wilson comes from Americans without the United States as well as with, William Doan writes the Woodrow Wilson Indepen- dent League from Winnipeg. Mani toba. He says:
 f'I am enclosing a small contri'bu- ton, which I trust may be of some service in the campaign to re-elect President Wilson
 Every time I have visited the United States during the past two years, have been impressed with the fact that comparatively few citizens fully comprehend the position their own country holds in it's relation to the present terrible conflict now go- ing on in Europe, and few appreciate at its true value the wonderful work that Woodrow Wilson has performed in maintaining a status of neutrality, and at the same time the respect and admiration of the world at large.
 ''The defeat of President Wilson at this crisis is unthinkable to an Amer ican living without his country and in a position to realize more intimate ly the horrors of the present great war"

DESTRUCTIVE CoNFLAGRATIoN.

DESTRUCTIVE CONFEDERATION v One of the most destructive fires that ever Visited our city occurred last evening. A little before 7 o'clock flames were discovered in the boiler room of the Furniture Manufacturing Company's large factory in the lower part of the city.
 Though the fire brigade was soon on the scene much difficulty was ex- perienced in obtaining a sufficient supply of water on account of the small size of the street main at that point.
 The fire soon communicated with the infianiable materials in the glue and varnish rooms and from these to the immense stock of cabinet work and furniture in process of manufac- ture. 4. (
 Though it was sad spectacle yet there was a gradeur about the sqene that. fixed involuntarily the eyes and enchained the senses. In compara- lively g short time the long building extending from East to West on the square owned by the company was

For Wilson and Dunhe

(From the Illinois State Register.)
 ",The rank and file of the Illinois Democracy realize that under the ad- rninistrations of President Wilson and Edward F. Dunne the people have ruled. The enthusiasm for these two leaders comes from the people. The Democrats of Illinois never presented a stronger ticket to the voters in the history of the party. The ticket is composed of the highest moral stand ng, men who have the confidence and respect of the people of the state.''

England's Poet Laureate

A poet devoted to his art, indiffer- ent to popular applause, who writes for the joy of writing-such is Rob- ert Bridges, poet laureate of England. Born seventy-two years ago today, Oct. 23, 1844, he began writing verse while student at Eton and Oxford, and continued to woo the muse even during his busy years as a physician in London hospitals. Retiring from active medical practice in 1882, he has since spent most of his time at his residence on Boar's Hill, south of Oxford. content with small circle of college friends. His selection as the successor of Alfred Austin came as a surprise to most Englishmen, for he had never attained wide popularity as a bard.
 E The poet laureateship of England cannot be traced precisely to it's ori- Agin, but the title was assumed by lChaucer, who obtained from the king a gran of an annual allowance of wine. Many celebrated bards have held the office, including Edmund Spenser, Ben Johnson, John Dryden, Colley Cibber, pr. Robert Southey, William Words worth and Alfred Tennyson.
 If Dr. Bridges is not a poet of the people, he is at least able to appreci- ate the greatness of those who have possessed the gift of appealing to the Common fclk," as witness this tri- bute to Robert Burns:
 To Burns, brave Scotia's laurePd son, Who drove his plough on Helicon; Who with Doric rhyme erewhile
 E>ught English bards to mend their
 style, fl
 And by the humor of his pen

BRANMlGAN is RING PIONEER.
Is Now Thirty-one and Started Fight
ing When Thirteen.

1t is popularity presumed that among
the present day boxers Old Jim Flynn.
the lighting fireman of Pueblo, holds
the record for years of service within
the ropes and Sam Langford and Sam
McNey the mark for the greatest num-
Der of return matches. This is all
wrong. Both records are held by Pat
sy Brannigan, the little red haired
battling bantamwcight Of Pittsburgh.
He is the grand old man" Of the
game.
There are several older boxers than
Brannigan in years in the ring, but not
in experience. Flynn is in the six
teenth year of his career. Brannigan
is beginning his nineteenth annual
campaign. Reference to the record
books shows that he is now twenty
eight years old and that he began his
career in 1904, when he was sixteen.
These figures are not correct. Patsy
never had them changed because he is
a bit sensitive about his age, but if he
was put under oath he would acknowl-
edge that he is going on thirty-one and
engaged in his first bout at the age of
thirteen.
