THE O. HENRY HOTEL

T-HE New York Sun makes merry over the
naming of Il big new hotel in North Caro-
lima after O. Henry, the short-story artist,
whose real name was William Sidney Porter.
The Sun goes on to suggest;
MAY we not soon see the Hotel Henry
James with winding, May corridors ana OBJ
scure corners; the Thomas Hardy, far from the
madding crowd and famous for Its Gloom
Room; the Tennyson, with brook running
through the lobby and a marble Sir Galahad
frowning on Peacock Alley; the Stevenson,
with a young man serving cream tarts ma
pavilion on the links; the Defoe, with cave
for patrons as we'll as goats; the Poe, with mys-
terious prices; the Mark Twain, with huckle-
berry innan haddie as a specially; the Eugene
Field, with foods fresh from the Sabine Farm;
and the Dickens, with an Oliver Twist room
for diners who wish second helpings?"
The Sun appears to imagine that the nam
ing of a hotel after noted author is unique.
1t is not. however. For some years past the
Mark Twain Inn, the chief hosteIry in Hanni-
bal. the Missouri city where the great writer
spent most of his boyhood and early youth,
has been flourishng. The spirit of Mark
Twain would be glad to know this, for the last
time the famous humorist and philosopher VS.
tied Hannibal he requested room with bath
and was told that no such thing existed in the
hotel where he had to put up, but ne could be
placed across the hall from the bath.
The O. Henry Hotel, we are told, is gong
to have many rooms with private baths, and as
ii is being built in the town where Sidney Por-
ter lived for many years 1t is fitting tribute
to his memory that such house IS named Tor
him. OF course his pen-name will be fine
free advertisement for the hotel, and this
should serve to induce builders of hostelres in
other cities to confer upon their houses the
names of celebrated local authors. To shine
by reflected glory is better than not to shine
at all.
However, it may be suggested that in the
cast of most of the famous authors a little
by their hometown folks while the
celebrities still live and move and have their
being would be worthy thing.

Do NOT Be TROUBLED
By BIG SHOE BILLS

Fifteen months of service from pair
of Ne0lin Soles is claimed by F. T.
Evans OF Seattle, Washington. Then

Big shoe bills do not trouble the man
who gets wear like this from his shoes.
If YOU are interested in cutting down
your shoe expense, be sure that the
shoes you buy have Neolin Soles.
You can get them on new shoes in
many styles for men, women, and
children; and they are available every
where for re-soling, too.
Ne5lln Soles are made by Science to
give long wear, and to be comfortable
and waterproof They are manufac-

ing the nations thanks. If the SOL
diers had not done their duty the
amount now proposed to pay them
would be but a drop in the bucket
compared with what we would have
to pay Germany.
Canada gave each of her soldiers a
bonus of 1920 and this rich country is
certainly not less grateful l have es-
timated that my plan would cost
81 ,500,0 100000, and l do not believe
that this addition to the national debt
or the placing of bonds to that amount
in circulation will cause any noticeable
initiation in the currency. AS long as
we are able to loan so much to our
neighbors across the Atlantic on which
they cannot now pay the interest, we
are able to deal literally with our SOL
diers"
Mr.. Fordney interposed to express
the opinion that the soldiers should
get bonds of or 3A per cent. with
complete tax exemptions stating that
they could not be sold on the market.

BIG ARMY BONUS DRIVE BEGUN
Bond Issues Between One and Two
Billions Urged In Congress.

A concerted drive of unexpected
strength for large additional bonus
for the service men was started in
Congress late last week, when nearly
a dozen Congressman appeared before
the House Ways and Means Commit
tee with plans for additional compen-
sation for the men who served during
the war, all urging bond issues of
from 81 900 100000 to $2,000,000,0 00to
supply the necessary funds. In general
a bonus for each month after the first
two months of service was advocated,
the money to be paid in Government
bonds.
Representative Fordney (Mich.)
chairman of the committee, announced
that he favored some form of addition
al bonus. Indications are that despite
the large war debt of the country,
some such program will be reported
favorably by the committee. Mr.. Ford
ney said, however, that no action def
initely outlining the proposed meas
IRE, would be taken until after the
meeting of the American Legion in
November at Minneapolis. The Lee
gion has made such request, he said,
to determine whether the men really
wanted the additional money.
Mr.. Fordney presented figures from
the War Department showing that the
total cost of giving each man $50 for
each months service would mean an
additional expenditure of $780, O0O,-
900. The department estimated that
the average length of service was
ten months.
King Swope, newly elected Republi-
can from Kentucky, himself in the
service during the war, led the ap-
peal for the bonus before the COM
mittee. He said thousands of men are
in actual need of funds to bridge them
over until they get business affairs
and work readjusted and the majority
want the extra bonus. AS evidence of
this be presented a petition signed by
nearly 10000 men of the First Divis-
ion, just returned from France The
petition Endorsed Mr.. Swope's bill for
the $50 month additional.
''The average soldier" Mr.. Swope
said, latter all his allotments and in
S,,roooa ,o,-o,,o;uo,e 1,,oro Jod,,a+ol -
ceived $8.40 month. The soldiers will
not regard the bonus as charity or a
gift, although it is needed by many of
them, but simply as back pay, which
it really is. The soldiers never struck
for higher wages as so many of the
workers at home did. They struck for
victory only and attained it, and the
bonus will be a real way of express

country lawyer gave some accurate
legal information concerning Admit
rally matters. When President
Crawford of Allegheny College, went
as pastor to a charge composed of
railroad employees, his first book was
a treatise on locomotives, which he
mastered before having very much
converse with the men. Christ met
his man upon his own level and show
ed His own mastery of it, for where
Peter had failed dismally there was
no surprising success. The command
to follow received instant response on
the part of the four for whom Christ
had staged the entire scene, and they
entered upon an extension of their
task under tutelage that transformed
them into the leaders of the Apos-
tolic band.
THE CHANGING DISCIPLE.
John, James, Andrew and Simon
were called into constant contact that
found its fruitage in their appoint
ment later to the Apostolate which
followed a further sitting of possible
material for this position. Nothing is
given of the inner life of any except
Simon Seeing the result of Christs
command in the catch there was the
sudden sense of the power of this Man
to see into the very hart with its mo-
tives and desires, and he knew himself
to be a coward. He simply shriveled
under the gaze of Jesus, kindly tho it
was, and he wished to be with Him,
yet feared to be. 1t called for so
much, this venture in company like
this, and he feared still more his fail
ure if he should attempt it. All this
seems implied in Christ's answer:
Fear not; from henceforth thou shalt
take men alive" He had opened a
door closed from every eye and locked
and barred by rough readiness of
speech from the intrusion of any com
rade, but today it was flung wide and
the bitterness of soul lay freely open
before the kindly eyes of the one Man
who believed in his possibility of over
coming that which he hated. He would
risk even the loss of this Master
whose words were like blowing bugles
to his spirit rather than be untrue
and leave any false impression of
strength that he Wanted before 9TH
ers. For once he was real, where he
had always been buffer before, and
there must have been rare joy on the
part of Jesus at bringing him so far
along the road of his transformation
into the rock-like Peter daring death
that he might serve his Lord.
