with man. Plaintiff further ayers
that she never flirts, although fol-
lowing an occupation which encour-
ages flirting, and always "sticks to the
costume of her profession"
A gallant jury can do nothing less
than find for her since the defendant
pleads guilty There should be more
damage suits of this kind brought
through the length and breadth of the
land. The comic valentine, despite eff
forts to suppress it, still damages
regulations and causes smarting OF
the spirit. Unfortunately, being in the
same class with the despicable anony-
nous letter, it is seldom possible to
detect the sender. Suspicion may point
to certain person, but proof is ex-
tremely hard to obtain.
However, any jury of normally con-
stituted men, regardless of whether
their faces and figures lend them read
lily to caricature or not, may be de-
pended on to harden their hearts
against the sender of comic valen-
tine every time one of those wretches

room he would give a terrible growl. In
word, he was Corbetts protector. Ned
was Corbett's constant companion dur
ing training for the Sullivan fight and
went with him to New Orleans. Then
he Travelled everywhere with his VIC
torious master and made his appearance
on the stage with him in the training
scene in Gentleman Jack 1t was
Neds growls that aroused the camp one
night when Corb EFT was training for the
Mitchell fight to the fact that some per-
sons had climbed up next to Corbett's
room. 1t looked as If they were there
to main or hurt Corbett. In fact, when
they were discovered and shot at. they
shot back. OF course, Ned was the hero
of the affair.
When we went to Europe Jim lent
Ned to John w. Norton and he remained
with that man until Norton died.
When Corbett went to Carson he for
got all about Ned. partly from the fact,
L suppose, that his brother Harry had
brought from San Francisco a beautiful
full blooded collie for whom Jim had
now conceived a deep affection. Not
knowing this, 1 thought it would be a
good idea to take Ned with me when 1
should join Corbett at Carson. 1 paid

Jim sitting with the beautiful collie dog

sprang at the throat of the dog who had
supplanted him in his old masters affec-
tons, and they had a terrible row until
Corbett savagely pulled them apart and
kicked Ned out of the door into the deep
snow. That night Corbett. who slept in
a cottage opposite the little hotel where
we were training, took the collie and
went to bed, and the next morning, out
side of Corbett's door, with his nose on
the sill, was Ned-frozen stiff And
Corbett lost the fight!

Delegates Attended


"Out of all the clerical delegates to the
recent Episcopel general assembly in st.
Louis, there was not single vacancy,
said Robert Jemison, ST., who has re-
turned from the assembly. In addition
to this, there were only two bishops alb
sent. These two were detained on ac-
count of ill health. This Is considered
a record for any convention the size
of this one.

Hoblitzelle Talks

IT find that conditions throughout
the south and southeastern portion of
the United States are commencing to
correspond to the excellent times now
prevailing in the west. middle west
and east" said Karl Hoblitzelle, un-
der whose direction the Lyric theatre
is operated Mr.. Hoblitzelle is the head
of the Interstate Amusement company
of Chicago. which operates a chain of
theatres through the southern states.
ST believe that the conditions in the
south will gradually get better until
the prosperous condition now preva-
lent throughout the United States
other than the south will be spread
throughout America There is no get
ting around the fact that things are
greatly better than they were year
ago. For that matter. they are bet
ter than they have been in the past
10 years.

ADRIFT WITH THE TIMES
soRELY TEMPTED

Now, leaders of the people
We never seem to lack,
Most gladly volunteering
Great evils to attack;
Processing scorn of office
And all rewards, in fine.
But when they are elected
They simply can't decline.

ui.h Cost of Living

Louis Shoelhoefer, one Of the proprie-
tors of the Strand theatre, is quite GER
tain that the present tendency of in
creasing the already high cost of living
is seriously affecting local business con-
dtions
why, the poor people haven't the
money to buy" said Mr.. Shoelhoefer yes
terday land as the prices on foodstuffs
are increasing every day, all the money
of the workers is taken up with the
purchasing of the mere necessities of life,
and very little of that
"Just consider, for instance the work
ingman with family earning So day.
There. are thousands who earn less in
the Birmingham district. With flour at
over $40 a barrel, sugar at an exorbitant
figure, meats at higher quotations, just
imagine how the poor live! In my opinion
they do not live, they merely exist, un-
der the present high cost of living.
But it is not only in foodstuff that
the prices have gone up. Clothes and
Shoes have increased in price, and where
the prices were not elevated the quality
was reduced. In fact, it takes all the
money of the workers to keep starvation
out of doors, wnlcn accounts for the COM
plant of the merchants that trade is
falling off,.

If the recipient is a'man and soundly

Come From
Spending Freely

TUDENTS of economics may find
" a theme for an essay in the re-
port that a New York specialist was
paid $4,000 for going to Colorado
Springs and confirming another doc
tors diagnosis in the case of a rich
baby suffering from collie.
Yet, taking a broader view of the
matter, is it not commendable that a
class who are popularity regarded in
this country as being opposed to the
stork, should stop at no expense when
alarmed by the illness of their chill
dren? Not long since a special train
was chartered by number of veal
thy vacationists returning home with
their families, so that the party could
make detour around New York,
where infantile paralysis was cpl
demic. It's true that the special

lection, but the cautious parents prob
ably didn't know that and did not be-
grudge the round sum paid the rail-
road people for their trouble.
A humorist wrote an anecdote of
three rich men who sought admission
at the pearly gates. st. Peter decided
that their chief claim to consideration
lay in the fact that they kept their
money in circulation. Let our million
aires pay enormous fees to specialists,
hire grand opera singers to MARBLE ex-
pensive notes in their homes, order
Lucullian spreads for their friends and
consume unlimited quantities of gaso
line. They are helping to make bust
