CONFESSIONS
BE SURE YOUR SIN
Yesterday morning Pat Sullivan
called me up.
Mrs. Waverly, when will Dick be
homer"
81 don't expect him for two or
three weeks"
There was a sound between a
groan and a sigh at the other end of
the wire.
Can I do anything for you,
Pat?"
Perhaps, but I don't like to
trouble you
Tell me what it is.
81 can't tell you over the wire and
don't want to talk to you in the
office"
Goodness, is it so mysteriously
important as all that? Suppose you
come up here?"
THAT is what 1 wished you would
say" he exclaimed ingenuously. I'll
come right up"
Iwaited very impatiently as l could
not understand what Pat had on his
mind. 1 thought it might be about
MoIlie and Chad, or even Mother
Waverly and her new husband, but
it never entered my mind that it
could concern that old affair of Har-
rvs. Why, the twins are great boys
now and Eliene is talking of send
ing them to the public school that
they may learn democracy, and the
old tragedy has seemed for a long
time to have only left fast obliter
ating scar.
But here the minute Harry first
thinks of going into politics and
very earnest and honest he is about
it, too-some one has unearthed the
old story and promises to give it the
fullest airing providing he does not
withdraw from the race.
Pat was very excited as he came up
to my room. He said: Holmes came

well, the man says that those two
boys of Symone's are not Mrs. Sy-
mone's at all, that their mother was
a sewing woman in Symone's family.
You can easily see what such story
would mean to a man running on the
reform ticket"
Why one of our greatest cards
to play in a political game of this
kind is the knocking out of "old
king vice" Shindler, who has the
Republican affairs in charge, threat
ems to make it hot for us if we don't
withdraw Symone's name.
Personally Shindler don't care
d whether Symone is guilty or
not, but he sees where he can put a
nail in his coffin and he'll do it with
good hard thump.'

was no truth in the matter whatever,
but he wanted to make sure"
why don't you ask Symone?" 1
inquired.

would find in it announcement and
excuse for his own affairs, but l
knew if 1 did not do something Eli
ene's feelings would be bruised and
stung in way that would be I'M
bearable.

the details of that terrible time for

BOSTON STAYS WEI"
BY A BIC Majority

BOSTON. Dec. 2O-Billy Sundays
campaign for a "boozeless Boston" fail
cd yesterday. The greatest effort ever
made 10 forbid the sale OF liquor after
May for year under the annual local
option referendum resulted in the largest
majority for license since 1910.
The complete vote stood: Yes, 53,43li
No. 3O3sO a majority for license OF
23O5l. last year the license majority
was only l4,32s, this decrease being
charged to revenge taken by Boston
Democrats for the defeat Of Governor
Walsh by the liquor interests. The vote
was the heaviest ever cast in a city cleo
ton when a mayor was not elected. The
figures show that the effect of Sundays
revival on prohibition sentiment here
has been virtually nil, even when per
centages are considered.
Not since 1892 had Boston ever beer
in danger before OF being "dry." A Ii
cense vote was taken for granted annu
ally, the only campaign for the salool
being small newspaper advertisement
shortly before election urging that 9Th
| policy that had withstood the tes
/ years, ," be continued. No efforts had bee
made in recent years by no-license nd

TOEHOLD!

II Frank Gotch and Joe Stecher
should meet on the mat which would
win
Is the terrible toe hold of Gotch
more effective than the racking scis-
sors hold of Steoher
With Joe Stecher off on his second
tour, which promises to be as sue
sessful as his first when he defeated
all comers, talk OF Gotch and Stecher
is be ng revived, even though Gotch
has announced his retirement.
A match between the two would be
test of the ability OF the men IN
getting their favOr.te holds; not a test
OF the relatives value OF the holds
AS operated by Gotch, the toe hold
is irresistible. There is no defense
for it.
As manipulated by Stecher the scis-
sors is just as irresistible. There is
no escape from it.
L. match between the two tho
man who first succeeded in getting
his hold would win.
Both holds are torturing, body
racking grips The reason there Is
no defense for them is that a human
being cannot stand the physical pain
they produce long enough TO fight
aga'rst them
Men who have been in the grip uf
GOtch's toe hold have walked with
limp for days afterward.
Wrestlers who have tried TO with
"tand Stecher's terrible knees have
Deen unable TO bear the pressure OF
their clothing for many hours.
But there will be no chance for a
test of the two men and their torture
producing holds.
Gene Melady. Omaha promoter, who
offered a $4,000 purse ior the match
last summer before Gotch broke his
leg. has just written me that Gotch
will never meet Stecher. Melady
! YES a short distance from the homes
Of both men in Nebraska and Iowa,
and sees them frequently.
Gotch was never anxious to meet
Stecber, even when rival promoters
were bidding huge sums for his SER
vices.
He is past 40, has met and defeated
all the great wrestlers of his time
and made a fortune He does not need
'he money, and has an ambition to re-
tain his honors Of undefeated char
pior.
The example OF Jim Jeffries. a
warm. personal friend of his, proba-
bly, had a great deal to do with his
decision.
Gotch told the writer last summer
that he could see no reason why he
! should come out OF retirement. ThC
/ injury to his leg while on a circus
tour last summer furnished an escape
from a match that was as unwelcom'
as IL was unsought.
