ganization left to act as pallbearers."
Sledge's chin sank a little lower on
his collar. He had never permitted
the shadow of defeat to touch even the
hem Of his coat, but now its dimness
seemed very close to him. and in that
shade there was a chill.
Adolph brought in a letter, square
white envelope which looked strangely
out Of place on the edge Of beer tray.
Bendix took 1t. sent Adolph out with
a jerk Of his thumb and started to
open it, but the flap was sealed with a
fancifully wrought monogram stamp
ed in gold sealing wax. and after a
moment Of reflection he passed 1t 81
lently over to his chief.
Sledge opened 1t mechanically and
drew out neatly engraved card, which
read as follows:
Mr.. B. Franklin Marley
begs to announce the
engagement
of his daughter,
ClHclyL,
To Mr.. Albert T. Glider.
Sledge slipped that announcement
calmly in his pocket and turned slow
y to his pitcher on the table. What
ever his idea concerning that may
have been he changed it, for, his eyes
slowly distending, he reached out and
grabbed the pitcher, and suddenly there
was a splintering crash. He had
thrown the pitcher with its contents
straight through the window, glass and
all!

ed Bendix, considerably concealing his
sympathetic knowledge Of the hurt
which had been inflicted.

A piece Of iron will sink to the bot.

because water is only slightly compress
sible. If water were highly compress
sible. as air is. the water at q great
depth would be much denser and there

until it reached point at which its
weight would be less than that Of the
water which it displaced, and there 1t
would float, as clouds float in the at

weighs more than a cubic foot Of wa

The express was approaching rail

the structure she did not speak word,

 try is called the Fatherland, while his language is called the Mother-tongue. But he once more regained the good graces of the fair sex by asserting that such statem ents were made by some one who was generally talking when the women were really quiet. Rev. Mr. Maier then added several more witty stories to the number he had al- ready told, expressed firm belief that prohibition will eventually win, and then introduced MT. Began.
 The man from Rockford at once drew a caricature of a typical Sunday supplement drunkard and explained to his audience that when he was a boy he was expelled from school no less than seven times for drawing pictures. From then on during his talk he ex- plained his statements by pictures and written figures. Yet the speaker did not de1ve into the realm of the stati- tician for he declared that he did not think statistics carry much weight

Began stated that Tn Mlt- waukee there are only seven brewer ies while in the city of Chicago tnefe are eighty Milwaukee has the rep utation, but Chicago has the beer,' he laughed. He asserted that the great distilleries and breweries come to the state of Illinois is because Of the tax graft Then it was that he gave the first insight into his real topic on which he said he was going to speak ''The Fool Tax Payer"
 He declared that the taxpayers are being fooled by the brewers. He as- serted that in Chicago there is one brewery worth $5,0OO,0 ,0O0 which is as- sessed on the tax list for only $15,0 ,000. In Louisville, Ky, he said, there is S2,OOO,OO0 brewery which is not taxed one cent. He then named another Illinois brewery which is worth $35,- 100000 and is assessed at a much smaller figure. MT. Began said he felt that women are entitled to the vote. and this of course made a hit with the fair sex present. In re- 1 marking on the high taxes paid by i he fool tax payer when the big in ]

There Is no doubt that if the pro- hlbition party could get more men of the type of the Hon. Frank S. Began of Rockford, H., to talk prohibition about the country the liquor interests would have even more cause to WOr- " than they have at present. MT. Re gan was the first Illinois state senator ever elected on the prohibition ticket and he was the principal speaker, to say nothing of entertainer, at the sec- ond annual banquet of the New Brit ain Prohibitionists held in Jr. O. U. A. M. hall, last evening. Other speak CTS were Rev. H. W. Maier, Rev. Duane Griffin of Granby and State Chairman E L. Hohenthal of Man chester.
