President Wilson set the fashion
of going to see THE Girl Behind the

wanted to be really entertained, and
now everybody is doing it. Recently
the graduating class of the United
States Military Academy at West
Point attended the performance of this
musical comedy success at New York.
There were 800 of the cadets and
their friends in the party and they
applauded everything vociferously.
They were much noisier in their

Do They Come Back.

Some wise sporting man has said,
They never come back" Once a
fighter is down, he stays down. Once
a runner has lost his wind. he might
as we'll get a job in a bank. Once
a ball players Judgment is gone, he
is doomed. Perhaps this is so in
sporting circles. but if so, they had
better take a leaf from the book Of
other characters who have not ig-
ured prominently in the sporting
pages. but who have succeeded in
coming back when they were judged
about to take the count.
For instance: One George Wash
ington. who was fairly well known
in his time, although he did not get
a big salary. was as badly licked as
a man could be when the British
got through with him on Long Island
Yet they do say that he managed to
pull through in the end.
There was once a man who tried
to be elected Senator from Illinois,
but he was easily beaten by one
Stephen A. Douglas. The defeated
candidate later figured more or less
prominently in national events, but
in another office, that OF President
of the United States. -s-'
Mark Twain. after years Of indus
try and saving, lost his entire for
tune at one smash. Whereupon he
turned around and dug at it again.
until he made enough more to at
least keep him in clean white suits,
and while he was lifting himself out
or the hole. he managed to make a
large part of the civilized world laugh
with him.
Up in New England there was a
Young man who wasn't any straight
or than he had to be to keep out of
Jail And one day he stepped over
even that line. and found himself
behind the bars on a fairly serious
charge in connection with the civil
service examinations. From prison
he was elected to the State legisla-
ture and afterwards as mayor Of
New England's largest city.
A young man was brought up with
every luxury until he was of age
and then. for being weak, was turned
out to make his own way. He went
down and down. until at last he
ended up in a Chinese opium den in
Shanghai. There he met a girl who
was almost as low as he was, but
