his audience; he ynconsciously writes

whose tastes are like his own. The
question for him is, will his play get

this method will be productive of bet

Cohen Was The Ghost

New York, N. Y, Dec. IL
Two greatly excited men rushed
into the Clinton street police sta
tion here and told the police their
place was haunted. They said
they were unable to sleep because
of the weird groans of a ghost.
Detectives sent to investigate
traced the groans to the cellar
of the house. Then they sent in
a call Tor the hremen of Truck
No. Is, and the iiremen hacked a
hole In the chimney and hauled
man out. 1t was David Cohen,
pushcart peddler. David had
discovered that the pushcart
business didn't pay and decided
to leave this life. He climbed to
the roof of his boarding house
and jumped down the chimney
The chimney not being suitable
for nose-frst dive, Dave went
in feet first. He reached the
bottom somewhat the worse for
wear, but not seriously hurt,
and there he stayed for forty
one hours until the rescue. Doe
tors at the Gouveneur hospital,
after an examination, said David
would soon be able to return to
his pushcart.

The Coming Coffee Saloons.

+ rom the view 1Ofk sun.
In Boston, according to the Church
Temperance Society, the coffee houses
conducted by it are no longer "effi-
cient. desirable or practical as sub
stitutes for the saloon, and the So
ciety has applied to the Massachusetts,
land department. The reports from
Boston say merely that in the quarter
Of a century that has passed since
the rooms were opened. social welfare
work has SO changed that the decision
to abandon them had to be adopted.
The Church Temperance Society
was founded in 1881, in this city. with
the presiding bishop of the Protestant
Episcopal Church at its head. Here
1t maintains number of establish
ments. and the natural assumption
would be that when prohibition is APP
piled to the nation the field of its
beneficent activities would be consid-
erably extended. The Salvation Army
has announced it's intention to take
over q number Of saloons and conduct
them as soft drink bars. and the OPP
portunities for we'll managed coffee
houses have been discussed by a num-
Der of men animated by commercial
rather than philanthropic purpose.
Success in such an undertaking as
this will, of course, depend on the
management of the establishments,
and 1t may be that the institutional
character of the abandoned coffee
rooms worked against their popular
ity and usefulness. Local conditions,
likewise may have handicapped them.
The fact that they have been given up
does not mark coffee rooms as fail
ures generally, and the next few
years are likely to find resorts of
their kind fourishing in many cities
of the United States.
