Last Saturday night Louis carpen-
ter turned his whole pay envelope to
his wife. Blanche Carpenter.
Blanche went to market right away.
Louis hung around the house a few
minutes after she left and then beat
IL.
The wife was the most shocked
woman in the world when she went
TO pay for her purchases.
She didn't have a nickel Her purse
was gone. She was in a terrible
stew.
She came home empty handed.
Louis was there. He was in bed.
"Yo' think yo is dam smaht. 4"
Blanche shot out the minute she

about it and have him come around
and thrash Louis
She didn't get a chance to get out
of the house. Louis cracked her one
and she dozed of.

thinking up schemes to take all the

Nowadays you can't buy liquor,
you can't shoot crap. you can't play
poker or flirt with the ladies, with
out some heartless cop butting in.
Thursday night Mike Goodwin
brought a few friends around to his
room on d street for a poker game.
The limit was ten cents and the
winner was to buy the willard
Hotel the next day and entertain the
other players.
Policeman Moran came in on the
bunch and caught them in the act.
The cards were thrown out of the
window. Moran found enough evil
dence however to convict Mike of
permitting gaming on his premises
Witnesses testified that on several
other occasions there had been
poker playing.
The maid said she peeped through
the keyhole and saw them at it.
OF course there was no booze con-
nected with the game. 1t was just,
little pastime between friends
without hilarity.
But even so. it was a violation Of
the law and the court let Mike off

The Woman scorned.

If Ruth Daniels ever lays eyes on
Vernon Howard when she gets out
of the jug. it will be good night,
nurse" for Vernon
Sometime ago, Ruth said. she met
Vernon at a party. He took her
home.
A few days ago Ruth saw him
on the street. She spoke. Vernon
didn't seem to recognize her.
He wouldn't allow his memory of
the dance to be refreshed. He snub-
ed her.
A cop had been watching the
whole performance, and asked Yer
non If he knew the girl.
He swore that he didn't. There
fore. Ruth was liable to arrest. That
is exactly what happened.
The girl insisted that she was
not guilty OF flirting with strangers.
She knew Vernon, she said, and
therefore thought she had a right
TO speak to him.
But Vernon stuck to his story. He
never saw the girl before, he stated
again.
But he is going to see her. 1t
won't take Ruth very long to get
S25 together and get out of Jail.
and then maybe Vernon's memory
will get set straight. The girl is
sure he will know her next time

MEL TROTTER
COMING HERE
NOTED EVANGELIST WILL CON-
DUCT MEETINGS AT COLLEGE
IN FEBRUARY
HOMER HAMMoNTREE, WITH
MALE QUARTET, WILL HAVE
CHARGE OF MUSIC

Mel Trotter, one of those men
whom the religion Of Jesus Christ
changed from a down and out drunk
en- sot into one of the leading religi-
Gus leaders of America, will conduct
the February meetings at the college
beginning Feb. 6. He will be ac-
companied by Homer Hammontree, a
graduate of Maryville college, and
who is influential in bringing Mr..
Trotter here. He and Mr.. Trotter
work together in evangelistic work,
together with a male quartet which
is said to be the best gospel quartet
in America. DR.. Wilson wrote Mr..
Hammontree about coming to help IN
the February meetings, and he took
the matter up with Mr.. Trotter and
the quartet, and the entire organiza-
ton wanted to come, making no
charge other than railroad fare. Any
one who has the opportunity Of hear
ing Trotter and fails, misses a great
chance.
Mr.. Trotter was jerked from the
cutters of Chicago by religious work
ers when it seemed that all hope for
his redemption had disappeared. The
story is told of Trotter that when he
was a drunken sot in the Windy City,
he took the money which was to have
bought medicine for his sick child
and bought whisky. The. child died.
After its death it is said he took the
shoes off the feet of the baby and
bought whisky. But Jesus Christ got
into his heart and his life, at meet
ing in the Pacific Garden Mission,
Chicago, one of those places where
Billy Sunday got right, and today Mel
Trotter is one of the most widely
known evangelists in America. He
is looking for the down and out folks
to help them. This is an unusual OPP
portunity for Maryville to hear such
a man as Mel Trotter and every one
should take advantage of the oppor-
tunity.

Librarians Report



Downey, stated at a meeting thai
every locality having a library has its
own story, and each one is as inter
esting as a romance. Our Library
has passed six weeks of its romantic
history, with ali increasing number
of borrowers, Of readers, and with g
widening town interest. The mum.
Der of borrowers is 100, with an al
most daily increase. They are large
y children and young people, who
ire taking an active interest in the
Library's growth. They constitute
he largest number Of daily readers
These have more than doubled. Be
tween 3 and of an afternoon there
nay be from 10 to Is young people
the Reading Room, as quiet ant
orderly as one could desire. The
egular habituee's come and bring
new friends, thus the interest grows
Tuesday afternoon, December End
he Children's Story Hour was in
ugurated, and nearly 100 children
gaily responded to an invitation.
Occupying tables, chairs, and floor
If both rooms, they gave fatterine
attention to the stories told by the
Librarian, ably assisted by Miss
Ianlie Maxey. 1t is unfortunate
hat this disturbs the readers and the
regular work of the Library. 1t is
starting out with promise and should
be continued.
The town interest is widening and
into the country. Many
have called to express pleasure and
appreciation of the work, and are
promising books. We have received
since the last report 80 books. OF
these Miss Gillingham has added II
making in al 33, from her. Nh. and
Mrs. Clyde Emert have enriched the
Library with fine and practically
ew set Of Dickens and Eliot. From
Irs, May we have received 28 books
1ostly juvenal, welcomed by the
children. From Mrs. John Smith, ar
Id and valuable 7 volume set of
jhakespeare's plays, Illustrated with
many steel engravings, seven books
Of Ruskin and two of Carlyle. Other
ooks have been given by Mrs.
stevenson, Alexander, Basel; Misses
'oventry, Bassett, Smith and Lowry
Everett.
1t has been especially pleasing tc
ZEE the spirit displayed by the Poly.
echnic students working by classes
All have contributed something. The
Class of 1920 brought one book, 1921
two, 1922 three, and 1924 one, max
ng total of eight books, the begin
ling of our Library's Christmas. The
Chilhowee Club is preparing a hand
some Christmas gife also; donating
he sum of fifteen dollars to be ex-
pended for books and magazines that
he Club may use as reference during
he year, in its study of South
America. Four books have been
ordered and two Inter-American
From these the public
will also benefit.
One curio has been brought to
lang upon the walls; large wasp's
lest, found by Dorothy Fisher. These
vasps,-our first makers of paper
rom wood-pulp: valuable teachers,
rom whom the paper manufacturers
,rofited. Other curios will be well
,omed.
Within six weeks the Library has
lriven a wedge in and will more and
more become factor in the peoples
ife. A writer has said a librarian
,ught to double the circulation of his
books and treble the circulation Of
himself. This we hope to do within
