PoIr.-AMis. washington,

There is q big fun fest on tap at
Polls this week and It 10 hard to
say who gets the most amusement
from 1t, the actors or the audience.
From start to finish 1t is a galaxy
Of tuneful and mirth-provoking spe-
cialties, with but few attempts to in
sert what might be called a book.
The show is worth seeing. 1t Is a
glorified burIesque which has no dull
minutes from the time William Ma

OF the second part showing some fol-
lies Of the new Washington.

performance would mean detailed de-

Just Like q German.

For several weeks Josh Stewart had
been neglecting to pay his room rent.
His landlady, Corinne Brown, had
been very patient with him until last
week. She told him Saturday night
to pay up or get out.
That same night Corinne rented the
room to Bessie Hall. Bessie moved
all her duds in at once.
At midnight Josh came back. He
had intended to neither move nor pay
his rent
Bessie was asleep. Josh tiptoed in
and got her by the hair and dragged
her downstairs and set her down on
the icy sidewalk in her nightie.
She awoke and hollered for a cop.
And then It was Josh's turn to be
dragged downstairs.
The court told Josh that he had a
cast-iron nerve to treat Q lady that
way, especially when he had never
seen her before.
And for this impolite act he was
fined $25. He didn't have it and they
sent him down. where they do not ask
for the rent
"Never Again." Said Ella.
Sunday night a week ago Ralph
Brooks called on Ella Forrest. He
borrowed a 81 bill.
Five minutes later he came back
and borrowed IS more He refused
to tell Ella what he was doing with
the money.
And as Ella was his girl. she
thought it better not to ask too
many questions at that time.
On Wednesday she asked Ralph for
her money. He promised to have it
the next day.
When Thursday came she again
went after her money. Ralph by this
time was getting peeved at Ella for
bothering him.
While she was pleading for her
money, he picked up flower pot and
let it go at her head. A 81 geranium
went all to pieces on the floor.
When Ella was able to think with
out stretching the bandage on her
head, she had him arrested.
The worst part of It Is that Ralph
spent the money to buy presents for
another woman. That left Elias
heart almost as badly broke as her
head. Thirty days." said the Court
to Ralph.
Blessed Are the Meek.

Annie had two beautiful black eyes.

SHAKES
HANDS WITH II
PERSONSAM|NUTE

How fast can a man shake hands?
This question has been propounded
by a number OF men who have stood
in the press box at the tabernacle
and watched Billy Sunday greeting
the people after his sermon. A good
many have different ideas about 1t.
Said an usher, "It all depends on
how fast they come forward and push
by"
in the first place and how much OF a
handshake you give as the second
consideration"
Has shaken Many
Billy has shaken hands with quite
a number Of people in Washington.
And naturally the question arises
How many people can a man shake
hands with?"
Here are some facts about hands.
and the length OF time Billy stood In
his box last night greeting people.
Billy last night shook hands with
2,2Ta people. according to a timer.
A reporter held a watch and count
ed the people that grasped his hand
each minute for three minutes Ihe
average was seventy-seven. He shook
hands for thirty-siX minutes without
slowing down a moment. He shook
hands longer than that, actually out
they didn't come so fast and were not
considered.
Hand Tired. Yep!
Hand tired?" asked a reporter OF
the evangelist when he had been res
cued from the box by MA" Sunday.
You bet," replied Billy "and don't
forget the arm"
This is not a record for the evangel-
let. He has shaken hands with
great many more people than that,
and is somewhat used to II. but at
the same time it is rather a tiring
job.
