Meeting of the Sure-Thing
Northwestern Investors Assn.

o . q o 8, (: 3 ., . . (. (: . . .
A meeting of the Sure Thing North
western Investors association was
held at 'Sheeny" Phillips new tire
and jewelry store on West GENITAL
avenue at 1890 o'clock Tuesday. E.
H. Srenvick was elected temporary
chairman and Olaf Olson secretary
and treasurer.
A few preliminary and appropriate
remarks were made by Mr.. Phillips
who said in part:
"This meeting is called for the
purpose of inquiring into the manner,
methods and means whereby Mr.. o.
son has been enabled to pile up all
of the wealth he is credited with hav-
ing and furthermore with devising
ways and means Of diverting some of
this wealth.
ID would suggest, Mr.. Olson, that
you allow me to take charge of this
fund, for say sixty days, and l will
promise that it will all be used, and
used effectively. | would suggest that
a goodly portion be spent on a few
race horses. j know that one could
get rid of a little "kale' on race
horses because l tried the plan myself
few years ago and two of the Bel
mont ponies set me back to the tune
Of about five thousand dollars. An
other way one could get a little diver
sion would be to own an opera COM
pany, composed of good lockers and
high bookers, by hockey pokey worth
hundred dollars of any mans
money"
At this stage, Mr.. Olson offered a
remonstrance and suggested that
what might be considered fun for the
"Sheeny" would not be fun for him
at all.
Mr.. Olson said that he once tried
in vain to get rid of all of his wealth
at Palm Beach.
4 went to hotel where the cheap
est room they had was 81 day and
from that up to SIS. That hotel had
1900 rooms and l was told that the
proceeds were $4,000 day. They
soaked me 20 cents for one little bis
cult and after finished a 50 meal at
one place, l kept right on going to
other eating houses and ! nearly
starved to death making the rounds.
If / had my hotel down there just
six months, they could keep it the
rest Of the time l wore a straw hat
of course, but didn't fall for one Of
those Palm Beach suits. Costs too
much to have them Hundred"
Chairman Stenvick raped for order
and warned the speaker that he was
not sticking strictly to the discus
sion of the business in hand.
Mr.. Phillips then offered to tell
Mr.. Olson some inside facts concern
ing the Hot Springs, Ark, episode
concerning which the Associated
Press sent reports over the land to
the effect that Mr.. Olson was fleeced
out of $4,000 by a couple of smooth
guys year or so ago. Mr.. Olson
broke his silence. concerning the event
for the first time.
s'You can't give me any inside facts
lat all, I tell you. know all about
that deal. The newspaper men We're
in wrong on that story. It made good
reading but there was very little truth
in it. l admit that did invest $780,
600 in concern and the certificate
was a little slow in showing up. That
was all. A detective happened to hear
me ask the hotel clerk if the men had
shown up with that certificate and
within two hours the Hot Springs pa
pers were out with extras, saying that

VASSAR GIRLS DRESS DOLLS
Students at Famous College Revive
Old Custom for the Benefit of
Neiehborhood Children.

People who have been brought up
to believe that college girls are in
evitably Of masculine type might be
interested to know that the students
at Vassar college are at present in the
midst of q dOll-dressing contest. Nor
il this contest a new event at Vassar.
Every year shortly before Thanksgiv-
ing GOO dolls are bought by the Chris
tian association and distributed
among the students to be dressed in
time for Christmas for the children Of
the surrounding neighborhood. At an
appointed time the dolls are assem-
bled by their respective owners and
placed row on row for inspection.
The best-dressed doll is selected and
her owner rewarded with a prize.
This custom has been observed at
Vassar for many years. For the last
two years, however, it has been omit
tea. owing to the exigencies of war
work. But now that those services
are not needed the work has been
taken up again with an added inter-
est and enthusiasm.

MUST BE MELTED IN TOWER
Only Way City Of ST. Louis Can Get
Rid Of Bell Which Renders
Structure Unsafe.

The two-ton bell which hangs In
the tower of the city hall has made the
tower unsafe, but the bell Is so large
it would be dangerous to try to take
1t down, so II is to be melted right
where 1t is with acetylene blow
torches, such as are commonly seen
in use by workmen repairing car
tracks, Gays the st. Louis Post Dis
patch.
Building Commissioner McKelvey
pronounced the tower unsafe as long
as the hell remains, because the steel
supports have been corroded. More
over he said, an attempt to lower the
bell would be very dangerous, there
fore the decision to take II down a
bucketful at time.
The only time in recent years that
the bell has been rung was the day of
the armistice celebration. II was rung
when the building was constructed In
1904. The bell cost about $1,000. The
expense Of removing II will be about
800. 1t is six feet high and four
feet In diameter at the base.

in that tone of friendly confidence
which springs so spontaneously in the
darkness:
"Yes, Reenie, and the doctor, too.
Well have Mr.. Hardy fixed up in no
time. How did he stand the night?"
How dared he call her Reenie? A
flush of resentment rose In her breast,
only to be submerged in the sudden re-
membrance that she had first called
him Dave. That surely gave him the
right to address her as he had done.
Then she remembered she was in the
the conventions-the conventions she
hated-had not yet become rooted, and
where the souls of men and women
stood bare in the clear light of frank
acceptance of the fact. 1t would be
idle-dangerous-to trifle with this boy
by any attempt at concealment or de-
ception.
She could see his form now as he led
the horses toward the corral. How
straight he was, and how bravely his
footsteps fell on the hard earthl
Hes a wonderful boy" said the doc
tor, of whose presence she had been
unconscious. "Cat's eyes. Full gallop
through the dark; side-hills. mountain
streams, up and down; breakneck.
Well, here we are" The doctor
breathed deeply, as though this last
fact was one to occasion some won
derment. "Your brother tells me you
have an injured man here. Accident.
Stranger, believer Well, shall we go
int"
Brother But why should she explain?
Dave hadn't bothered. Why hadn't he7
He had told about the stranger. Why
had he not told about both strangers?
Why had he ignored her altogether?
This time came another flush, born of
that keen womanly intuition which IN
derstands.
With commonplace che led the doc
tor into the house and to the bedside
of her father. When the operation
was completed the girl turned her at

mother considered it correct that her
daughter should have working knowl-
edge Of kitchen affairs.
Once during the evening she took a
glance into the other room. 1t was
even less inviting than Dawes, with
walls bare of any adOrnment save dirty
garments that hung from nails driven
in the logs. On the rude bed lay an
old man. She could see only a part of
his face-a gray mustache dropping
over an open mouth, and ford cheek
turned to the glow of the setting sum-
On chair beside the bed sat q bottle
and the room reeked with the smell of
breath charged with alcohol. She
gently closed the door and busted her
self through the long evening with re-
forms in the kitchen and with little
minlstrations designed to relieve the
sufferiugs Of her father.
The sun sank behind the Rockies
and darkness, soft and mystical and
silent, stole up the valley, hushing even
the noiseless day. The girl stood
framed in the open window and the
moonlight painted her face to the pur-
est ivory and toyed with the rich
brown fastLess of her hair and cleaned
from a single ornament at her throat.
She was under spell. She was in q
new world, where were manhood, and
silence, and the realities of being and
moonlight, and great CULTS of shadow
between the hills, and large, friendly
stars, and soft breezes pushing this
way and that without definite direc-
ton, and strange, quiet noises from
out Of the depths, and the incense of
the evergreens, and a young hOrseman
galloping into the night. And conven-
lions had been swept away, and 1t was
correct to live, and to live!
The first flush of dawn was mellow
ing the eastern sky when the girl was
awakened from uneasy sleep by sounds
in the yard in front of the ranch
house.
The stars were still shining bright
ly through the cold air. In the faint
light she could distinguish a team and
wagon and men unhitching. She APP
preached and. in a voice that sounded
strangely distant in the vastness of the
calm night, called:
"Is that you, Dave?"
And in a moment she wondered how
she had dared call him Dave. But she
soon had other cause for wonder, for
the boy replied from near beside her,
