Mystery Wells Whiskey
Filled Coffin Boxes

Lexington. Ky.-Mystery surrounds
Ave coffin boxes which, when opened
today, revealed to Special Agent
Thompson, of the Department of JUS
tice, 600 quarts Of whiskey. The ship
ment was marked from ]. r. Wolfe
Company, Cincinnati, o.. to J. R.
Wolfe Company, Lexington. Ky. As
Lexington is not prohibition territory
and as it is not against the law to
ship whiskey from Cincinnati to Lex
ington, Special Agent Thompson is
hunting some other motive for the
shipments arriving here unmarked,
which is in violation of the Federal
law, for which the maximum penalty
is $4,000 fine.
Mr.. Thompson does not think the
shippers risked confiscation of their
goods, valued at $1,000. and the heavy
fine just to evade higher freight
rate, which on the shipment would not
amount to more than a couple of dol
lars.
The five baskets have been at the
depot here more than week. and Mr..
Thompson's suspicious were aroused
when no claimant TO the shipment
arrived. There IL no such firm in
Lexington as j. r. Wolfe Company.

Jacks Adventure

Little Jack was crying. Moth
er had just put him to bed early.
He'd been a bad boy. That after
noon when his father had given
him a bright fifty cent piece to
purchase bread at the grocer's,
little Jack had returned without
the Dread and told his father
that he lost the money.
Now Jack had not lost the money.
Instead he had kept 1t himself and
later during a friendly tussle with Jp.
the Irish terrier, the bright fifty cent
piece had dropped from Jacks pocket
and rolled noisily in front of his faith
or. Questions followed and Jack con-
fessed he had kept the money.
Jack Visits ThriftIand.
The rays of the evening star shin
ing though the trees rested its beams
on Jack. 1t was very bright and re-
minded Jack Of the stolen half dollar
Suddenly in the zero Of the date
figures he saw an oval door bound
with silver hinges. 1t flew open,
The little dreampony, Fleetfoot,
beckoned for Jack to come. Before
he realized it he was on Fleetfoot's
back. The feet poHy sped far away
through the star-lit night, far away
from the lonely room with the black
shadows.
Fleetfoot reached the foot of a
steep hill.

Far away from the hustle of cities
In a spot that was countrywide

Lived Miracle Man, strangely gift
ed
To deliver the stricken and manned.
To this patriarch old in his cottage,
With a plan to reap wealth from his
deeds,
Came group from the slums of
Manhattan,
Who obeyed no command save their
needs.
There was Burke and the Girl and
the Dope Fiend .,
And misshapen brute, their decoy.
Then a Miracle happened! The
gangstcrs
Found the vile in their hearts was
alloy!
For the pure, guileless life mid the
mountains
Brought ideals that cleansed smirch-
ed hearts of crime,
Til at last even Burke, the foul
hearted,
Freed his soul from the faint of its
slime.
It's picture that tugs at your
heartstrings
Full Of thrills, mixed with laughter
and tears. .r

Although spring isn't here yet, the

house cleaning from top to bottom,
and considerable renovating has
been done, for the historic house is
beginning to show it's age. War
times have caused the appearance
of the presidents home to be neg.

have been used to keep up the Gus
tom, made necessary by our friends,
the British, of keeping the White
House white.
In the interior of the building, the
historic color schemes, such as the
blue and the green rooms, have not
been changed, but just here and
there touches haev been made to
cover up the marks of time. Indi-

YANKS in GERMANY WANT
BROADWAY SONG HITS TO
WHILE AWAY WEARY HOURS

PARIS, Feb. 1S.--Song hits from
Broadway are what the boys in
Germany want for their winter con
certs during the months that inter
vene between now and the close oi
the peace conferences. The first
request for music was filed through
the Y. M. @. A. before the real
guard of the first division had
crossed the Rhine. 1t was made by
Chaplain Ralph l.. Martin, who
dropped out of marching column tc
lend word back by Red Triangle
worker to forward at least fifty
copies of new songs to the men OF
his unit.
Pianos and musical instruments
are plentiful in Germany. Festballs
and theatres are also easy to OBJ
lain. The Y. NJ c. A. secretaries
and regimental chaplains and work
ing shoulder to shoulder to keep up
tie spirits of the men. Chaplain
Martins fifty copies of music have
been purchased in Paris by the Y.
N. C. A. entertainment department
end that regiment has been attended
to, but
There are hundreds of other regi-
ments in Germany. Thousands Of
boys who want to sing, hum and
whistle the songs that are making
Broadway laugh these days, so it
has been suggested that the folks
back home who are hearing those
songs, lend a hand by sending to the
boys they know in the A. of O. a
piece of music now and then. 1t is
not easy to get these songs in Paris
and the chances are they could go
through by mail from New York
more quickly than they could be
sent from the French metropolis. If
the boy to whom the music is sent
is not musically inclined, he can
turn it over to the entertainers in
his unit--and there are entertainers
in every regiment. Therefore, the
sender need not fear that his effort
may be in vain.
These regimental concerts are
being fostered by the Y. NJ C. A.
Specially trained secretaries are be-
ing sent out to develop the amateur
talent in each company and soon the
men who won such renown as
