But the train of thought led him TO
the cocktail. led him there and left
him there, starkly and remOrseless-
He knew now. In plainnesS,
in honesty, he had been drunk.
There came over our hero great
hot surge of shame.
And so he lay for long time. -.
Conscience scolded, harshly. Rea-
son argued. 1t was not DELHI
crate. 1t was not born of vicious
ness. Ignorance was what had done
it. There had been no one to tell
him Of the pitfalI Hence how could
he know it was there? Books, mag
aZines, temperance lecturers. Good
Lord, hadn't they been shouting
the evils of alcohol from the house
tops for years? Yes, but they
hadn't said anything about pink
cocktail loaded with dynamite. All
they talked about was whisky and
rum and beer. And none of these
had he ordered He only wished to
goodness he had! No matter how
bad they were. he'd bet they were
better than what he had. If
his father and mother had lived,
he'd wager they'd have tipped him
off about cocktails and everything.
If ever he should have any chill
dren. he'd tell them all about the
pitfalls of life Why, you might
as well let EN- play around on a
farm full of quicksand and hidden
wells without pointing out where
these death-hOles lay, You bet
when his son got to he IA he'd take
him by the hand and lead him into
saloon. He'd have 'em make
cocktails-yes. sir. both kinds, by
George and then he'd show him
all the horrible examples, bar flies
and ale hounds and rum retrievers
and all, He'd say to him. My boy,
do you want to he like that when
you grow up" And his son would
say. mo, father, never" No, sir,
you'd never find son of his lying
on bed Is feet square with a head
that weighed a ton and ached in
every ounce. And all because no.
body had ever told him that pink
cocktail not only biteth like an
adder and stingeth like a serpent,
but also kicked like mule.
Well, he knew now. thank the
Lord! Never again for Him, He
was through! He was all through.
So thought our hero.
So have thought, incidentally,
whole lot of other heroes.
Incidentally, too, lot of them
have been mistaken.

IN Rock Island. and one OF the
live wires OF the Illinois newspaper
field. having for years been man
aging editor Of the Springfield Reg
lister. has a patriotic poem in yes
terday's Chicago Herald. 1t is ell
titled Think of the Man in the
Trench" Here it is:
When you sit in your bank or work
at the store.
Counting your profits and planning
for more,
Do you think Of the man in the
trench?
AS cocktails and dinners sleek
waters in white
Serve you and YOUR party out "haV-
ing night
Do YOU think of the man in the
trench?
When mid blessings of home you
lie down at night.
In a warm. dOWny bed where sweet
dreams delight,
Do you think of the man in the
trench?
When you look at your child, whom
you dearly adore.
Do you think of the youths who
have plunged into war?
Do you think of the man in the
trench?
At the club and the play, or at
church as you pray.
Do you think of the boys dying for
YOU today?
Over there in some blood-f1Ooded
treacn?
Oh, friends, Give your time, your
funds~gsEe yCnr all
In this vast Christian drive for an
tociacy's fall
And help the man there in the
trench,
Yes, open your mind to a quick
ening food
OF thoughts of the carnage, of bat
tie and blood,
Then WORK for the man in the
trench,
They are bleeding for meg they are
dying for YOU,
So the best we can do is the least
we should do,
For American lads in the trench.

BILLY Sunday occupied two to
three pages in the Chicago papers
Monday. This amount of space was
devoted TO his sermons and a de
scription of his meetings When
Billy comes to town, it seems, the
papers in our neighboring city on
the lake must close their eyes TO
the high cost of print. Still, if
they tried, they might squeeze Billy
into page or so. Newspapers in
smaller cities have done it.
"A BUTTERMILk eyed, white
iivered. stOop shouldered mutt" is
what Billy Sunday calls any one
who opposes his campaigning.

Comma Once "KiIIed" Bishop

A Kent (England) urban council, 1t
Is believed, has about reached the limit
Of ''war economy" by forbidding the
use of punctuation marks in all official
documents, with the result that re-
ports of its proceedings are published
without even a comma. But the alb
sence of punctuation may prove per-
iious. Hill 20, on the western front,
was "taken" by a missing comma.
Worse still, a bishop, for want of a
comma, was temporarily killed. The
present bishop of Bath and Wells,
when he held the see of Adelaide,
found what he thought was dead sea
serpent near Coffin bay, at time when
an influenza epidemic ragged in that
district. He was pardonably proud of
the discovery" which was wired to
England in a portmanteau telegram
which ran: Influenza prevalent nu-
merous deaths Bishop Adelaide found
dead sea serpent 60 feet Coffin bay"
A news agency thought the last six
words a separate message, and an
nounced the death of the bishop.

Sense of Speed.

w. P. Beazell says in AN article in
a New York paper, telling some Of his
flying experiences: very little sense
of speed comes to one in the air.
There is, of course, the tremendous
rush Of air past ones face, but a whirl-
ing propeller will give that before one
has left the ground. There are no
landmarks in the air, and it Is 5y
landmarks that we measure the speed
of trains and automobiles, for In
stance. The earth is so far below that
it seems to be passing at about the
rapidity Of horse car. After time
the landlubber begins to realize that
what he was regarding as suburban
