On Jan. rs, 1901, Harry n Pillsbury
visited Kansas City, where he played
twelve games of chess and three games
of checkers with local devotees of those
games. The games were, or course.
carried on simultaneously. Pillsbury,
sitting with his back to the boards, the
moves of the players were called out TO
him. He would Immediately call back
the name of his own piece, specifying
on which Of the slXty-four squares IT
was to be placed, and won every game.
In Chicago, in 1900, Pillshury played
sixteen simultaneous games blindfolded
in four hours and iifiy-iiye minutes
winning twelve, drawing three and
losing one.

What Billy Sunday Says.

In one of his meetings at Boston
the noted evangelist said, Il believe
that every disease can be cured by
some weed II we can only discover It.,
There Is not an ailment that God has
not somewhere an herb growing that
will cure that ailment. :
The choice medicinal herbs which
WIN cure womens ailments were dis
covered more than forty years ago,
and have been doing their beneficent
work for half century. Lydia E
Pinkham combined them in conven-
lent form In her famous Vegetable
Compound, which is to be found in the
drug stores where every ailing woman
may conveniently get 1t at small cost

And you will be near-once again."
President Rosen then made stirring
address putting much weight upon the
necessity Of every Ampliorian keeping
cool and using his head during the crisis.
Then in language sweet to the ear he
introduced the hero of the evening, Mr..
Leo Hirschfield.
Mr.. Hirschfeld was in tears as he rose.
1t was the thought of losing the COM
partnership of the boys that hurt most.
He spoke Of his coming experience as
one which was marked out for him. He
stated that there was duty for every
one, and that he was doing his "bit."
The dinner was closed with all joining
in the song Lets all be Americans now"
The boys then escorted Mr.. Hirschfield
in taxis to the Great Northern Depot in

BIBLE READING BILL NOT PASSED
BY LEGISLATURE.

The bill which was introduced at the
session of the legislature just closed,
providing for the reading of passage
from the Bible each morning, in the pub
lie schools of Minnesota, came to an UNI
happy end, as is usually the case in the
closing days of a legislative session,
when large number of bills meet
similar fate because, for lack Of time,
they are not reached for vote. This
bill while it had been strongly opposed by
the Bnai Birth and many others, had Sc
cured the favorable recommendation Of
the Senate Committee.
Another bill of interest to the Jewish
people, and introduced at the instance of
the Anti-Defamation League Of the Bnai
Birth, was a bill which would make it
illegal for persons, engaged in business
of public nature, or catering to the
public, such as theaters, hotels and the
like, to discriminate by advertising or
otherwise against the members of any
race, nation or religion. The bill had
been passed by the House, without any
dissent, but failed to secure the recon-
mendation of the Senate committee be-
cause of the representation of certain
Jewish individuals that the best Jews
in the state were opposed to such bill.
